Lynchburg not invest something IN
the construction of such roads? If
these better thoroughfares bring
trade into Lynolburg, IT seems to us
The part OF wisdom for Lynchburg to
contribute its mite toward the good
work? Just across the James from
I.ynchburg Is one of the best stretches
OF improved highway in the South, and
1t is used by Lynchburg citizens ex-
cessively--in fact some of the Lynch
burg motorists have been quite extrav-
apant in their attitude toward the
speed limit on these roads. 1t docs
seem to us that Lynchburg, with all
its wealth, ought to do one OF two
things: build good roads for herself,
or help pay for chose of Amherst which
ere used and enjoyed so freely and
SO inexpensively by the citizens Of
Lynchburg.
The most important point is TINS,
however, every county can study AM
herst's example with profit. Ii every
county in The Old Dominion would
initiate the pace set by the small, but
courageous and progressive and broad :
minded county of Amherst what a
tremendous impetus would be given
to the progress Of Virginia!

1t Is clearly withinthe Constitutional
rights of Colonel Harvey to attack Mr.
Taft's parts of speech, to discredit his
gifts of oratory; but in doing these
things Colonel Harvey should take
heed lest he himself fall into errors OF
composition. For example, we doubt

TAIL wAGG1NG BOG.

The Independence League has nomf-
mated John j. Hooper for Governor of
New York, and William Randolph
Hearst for Lieutenant-Go Governor. This
is case of the tail wagginS the dog.
The Independence League was or
ganized by Mr. Hearst for Mr.. Hearst's
political purposes Without his open
purse and his two newspapers 1t would
not live a day. 1t would be interesting
to know how much it has cost him to
keep it going and why 1t has attracted
SO many members.
Mr.. Hearst is a strong man, but
wholly unsafe man, the fomenter OF all
vainglorious and selfish creatures. who
In all his work for the public never
Hoses an opportunity for advertising
himself and his political virtues. 1t
was expected that he would give his
support to Stimson, the Republican
candidate, directly. and there will be
Republican allies at the course things
have taken. There is not the least
possibility of the election of the In
dependence ticket; but the Republicans
will welcome 1t to the field in the hope
that it will attract many Democratic
voters and to that extent at least re-
duce the majority against Stimson.
Hereafter, Mr.. Hearst should be cut
off from the Democratic congregation;
he has read himself out of the party
and should be kept out now for all
time. For him to organize and direct
the movements of the independence
League is the basest political treach-
cry. and should be so regarded by the
Democrats all over the country. There
is no objection to Mr.. Hearst building
UP his own political machine-Debs
has his party, Mahoney has his party.
Swallow has his party, and there is
no reason why Hearst should not have
his party; but never again should he
be permitted to plead his Democracy
or participate in the direction Of its
affairs

GOLDEN SIGNATURES.

Rarity does not always depend on
age or fame The collectors of coins.
autographs, books, and other things
collectible, know this truth as perhaps
few others do. A coin bearing the
superscripton Of Caesar in some in
stances is not worth as much as a
penny of the coinage Of the United
States. So it is with autographs. The
Oldest are not necessarily the rarest.
nor those of highly distinguished per-
sons the most valued.
The ten rarest autographs, accord
ing to the eminent autograph collec-
tor, Robert T. Roden, are those of
Shakespeare. Sir Philip Sidney, rare
old Ben Jonson." Daniel Defoe,
Nicholas Breakspear, Guy Fawkes,
Mary, Queen Of Scots. John Andre.
Nathan Hale, and Thomas Lynch, Jun.
Three Of these ten, it will be noted,
won fame in American history.

rarest in the world but it is beyond

most important of all known auto

So brief was the life Of Sir Philip

A,1uEnsr STUDIES ronwAnp.

The little county OF Amherst usually
takes big view of things. In the
matter of good roads, 1T has set
splendid standard for the other nine
ty-nine counties of Virginia. Though
1t already possesses some of the best
roadways in this Commonwealth, the
people of Amherst met in convention
on Tuesday, and instead of requesting
an election on the question of issuing
100000 in road bonds, they increased
the amount to S135,000 This was n
delightful surprise to the advocates
of better thoroughfares.
Amherst sets the pace in many re-
spects when 1t comes to the matter
of good roads sentiment. The action
of the convention in requesting the
bond issue was unanimous. If there
We're opponents of the movement they
did not put in an appearance at the
convention. The meeting was entirely
harmonious Ninety per cent. of the
total number of delegates were pres
emit. Only two OF the precincts We're
chosen from these two. The delegates
present doubtless reflected the senti-
mcnt Of the people who elected them
to membership in the convention.
Unusual success has attended AM
herst in it's efforts for better roads.
Int has solved that most difficult local
good roads uuestion-tne distribution
OF the roads among the various dis
ltricts OF the county. A month ago
| the evidences pointed to trouble in
Amherst on this very question, but
| the delegates who came to the con-
| vention We're filled with happy spirit
| OF compromise. A committee was APP
pointed to settle this question of dis
trlbution of tho roads, and it came
back with unanimous report. IN
stead of narrow feeling OF selfsh-
ness a liberal and broad-minded spirit
prevailed in the convention.
| This is not the FIRST effort Amherst
| has mado In the direction of good
roads. If this bond issue is approved
at the election in the county--and we
sec no reason to think that 1T Will
| not be pproved-Amherst Will have
expended more than 100000 for per-
manent road improvements 1t Will
mean that sixty miles OF good roads
viii nave been constructed in AM
herst.

Lynchbnrg experiences q keen In

l,ltion, With reference especially to
