PARTY LOYALTY"

Commenting upon report that
Charles Trotter Lassiter, one Of the
defeated candidates in the recent four
cornered primary contest for the
Democratic nomination for Congress
in the Fourth District. believed that
fraud had been committed. but for
the sake of party regularity would
make no contest" the Norfolk Led
ger Dispatch says:
We hardly know just what such a
declaration means. II surely canno;
mean that the test CT party loyalty
is to be quiet acceptance of fraudu-
lent methods in party contests. That
Is neither a very creditable PROPOSE

cratic party.
IF Mr. Lassiter knows OF fraud ne
should promptly expose it. and put
aside any such suggestion as that

Perhaps Mr.. L.sssiter has been mis-
quoted. but il is only too true tina,

would look upon such an attitude as
that attributed TO the defeated Fourth

FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 4, 1910.
ARE THE CITY AUTHORITIES
GUILTY OF CRIMINAL NEG
IICENCE?

When the city's health oflicer-a
physician-says that the gas used in
some hundreds of Newport News
homes throws off while bdrnlng fumes
that are Injurious to health; when
one Of the city's leading physicians
declares publicly that these same
fumes are a direct cause for bron-
chitis and are calculated to dry up
the corpuscles of the blood. and when
another prominent physician makes
a statement in public print. not only
unfolding these opinions but assert
ing that spell of pneumonia from
which he is just recovering was
caused by the fumes in question. 1t
would seem that the municipal au-
thorities would be guilty of gross neg
lect of duty if they failed TO take
some step in the premises more Ell
fective than casual notice through
the newspapers TO the effect that the
use OF the gas Is dangerous.
General Manager w. w 5. Butler,
Of the Citizens Railway. Light aud
Power Company. who also has the
management of the Newport News
Gas Company, says that the gas Turn
Lshed in the city is absolutely pure
now, and that even when. on account
of inadequate purifying the gas threw
OF sulpnuretted hydrogen. the fumes
were simrly disagreeable and not
dangerous. Mr.. Butler undoubtedly
is sincere in what he. says; he be-
lievos the gas is pure and feels that
his coinpany's business is being Un-
wsTIantably injured by reports 10 the
contrary.
Perhaps Mr.. Butler Is right and thc
physicians are mistaken. For the
sake Of our peoples health and. in
cidentsliy. for the sake o. local COZ
poration's business. this paper hopes
that this Is the case Blu. We cannot
afford tc take chances IN a case like
this. Physicians whose opinions arc
valued by practically the entire com
muEity say that the fumes from the
iGrninS gas are rankly poisonous.
therefore in s. lite of result Of any test
Mr.. Butler may have had made there
is room for dousi. al issst. ON the
question Of whether or not 1t is dan
gerous 70 burn the gas.
Under thcec circumstances. the
board Of health Shcrld take stcRs to-
day. this morning. toward dctcrmin-
Ing whether or not the doctors are
right. And il IL Is found that the sas
actually is dangerous. The proper
authorities ought 70 order the supply
