Trusting the People

The keynote OF all that has been
said by the advocates OF the propos-
ed amendments 10 the Constitution
OF Virginia giving unlimited term
OF Office 30 city and county treas
urers and commissioners of the
revenue has been that the opponents
OF these changes are AFRAID to trust
the people. " They are asserting
that tremendous proportion of the
citizens OF this Common ealth are
departing from JetTersoniau princl-
pies and cleaving unto the doctrine
Of Hamilton, whose distrust of the
people characterizss his political
theories.
Such an argument shows the des-
perate quality OF the defense OF these
proposed amendments. 1t means
thai the defenders are hard pressed,
driven to the wall, and that their
final wall is that of the cheap dem
/ agOgue.
We who oppose these changes do
trust the people. To the last ditch.
we trust them.
Do we distrust the people in op-
posing these changes ?
The answer is as clear as the light
OF day: we do not. We stand for
the defeat OF these propositions, be.
cause the adoption Of them will give
a backward impetus to the cause o.
honest and good government Vir
ginia. -R:chmond Times Dispatch.

History Repeats Itself

History is ever repeating itself.
An immodest danseuse caused the
beheading Of man pronounced by
the Great Teacher the greatest of all
who had been born Of women. A
sensual king rendered camsel
carte blanche, even to the half of his
kingdom, after she had made IN in
decent exposure Of herself before a
drunken party who were celebrating
the monarch's birthday.
King Manuel has allowed damsel
Of the same stripe to kick his throne
from under him. Mile. Gaby Deslys
is the modern Salome. Manuel be-
came fascinated by her dancing in
music hall in London. He met her
after the funeral OF King Edward.
He is now a deposed king and an ex-
lie from the country of his birth,
while the W. man in the case is at
tracing thousands to Music halls to
see her repeat the acts which have
brought SO much woe to the king
sud royal fanily OF Portugal.

Mr.. Roosevelt's' Platform

With reference to the Republican
convention OF New York and NJ.
Roosevelt's platform, Mr.. Bryan's
CCmmoner of last week says
Mr.. RooSevelts speeches in the
New York convention were vigor-
Gus. but the platform was disap-
pointing. Little in it that can be
called progressive except the de-
mand for direct primaries. The
fulsome endorsement Of the presi-
dent is in sharp contrast with pro-
gressive platforms in the west.
The nominee for governor must be
taken, if at all, on Mr.. Roosevelt's
endorsement, and Mr.. Roosevelt
guaranteed Mr.. Taft. AS a lawyer
he has prosecuted the sugar trust.
but that was his legal duty-it does
not indicate his sympathies. He
was trained in Senator Roots office
and has the senator's endorsement,
aud Senator Root can hardly be &C
cepted as an authority on progress

Roosevelt Declared Peril by College
Professor

Theodore Roosevelt is one Of
the GREET perils with which the
American people will have to deal
in the next two years, said Prof.
Richard Heath Dabney, Corcoran
professor of history at the Univer-
sity of Virginia, while lecturing to
one Of his classes one morning last
week The great masses OF Amer
lean people have explicit faith in
him. They think him capable of
giving advice on anything from
obstetrics to the most complicated
problems of national and interna-
tional law.
The millions of our people,
which constitute the poor and mid
die classes, think Roosevelt the
only means of escape from the pres
ent troubles confronting the nation.
They would sweep the Constitution
away. abolish it, forget it, for this
man who has such talent for max
ing grandstand plays, and capti-
waiting the public mind with his
sensational performances.
IF Roosevelt is elected in 1912, l
have no doubt he will be our dicta-
tor for the rest CT his life Our
government would run on the same
plan as Mexico's. He would be
elected term after term, and would
succeed in getting the government
machinery under his control that
he could openly choose his success.
sor.
The election of this man means g
great stride in the Capitalization o.
our government. Roosevelt stands
for this. His meddlesome DISPOSE
ton would lead him to interfere
with the State Legislatures. With
the powerful Federal government
behind him he could very easil y
dictate in States affairs.

Richmond tuberculosis Camp Will
Open Soon.

At it's meeting Wednesday night
the Richmond tuberculosis Camp
Society authorized the opening of
the new camp for INDECENT consump.
tives near Richmond and instructed
the various committees of the society
to rush the finishing work on the
Camp in order that patients may be
received as soon as possible.
Pine Camp" as the sanatorium
is called, has been built and equipp-
ed by the Camp Society after long
struggle for funds. The city dona-
ted the land and the Camp Society,
by individual solicitation, raised
funds to erect two buildings and
equip them with all the necessary
conveniences for the care and treat
ment OF 20 INDECENT consumptives
The new buildings have just been
inspected by some of the most ex-
perienced health officers of the State
and are regarded as model Of their
kind. housekeeping and living quar-
tiers of the patients will be in the
open air at all hours, but so ar
ranged that the patients can be cared
for in an emergency, without being
removed to an other building.
Health workers in Richmond are
much elated at the completion of the
Camp, not only because it will re.
lieve the city of much expense and
great danger from infection, but be
cause the successful opening OF this
Camp, built by private effort, is re
gsrded as an incentive to the other
cities Of the State. 1t is expected
that similar sanatoria will be opened
in other cities and that many OF the
counties will be quick to adopt thi.
means OF helping those who canno
help themselves and OF saving tn,
lives of their citizens.

THE INSTITUTE HOUR
Address of Sir Moses Ezekiel to
Corps of Cadets


The Cadet OF last Friday gives
the following report of Sir Moses
Ezekiel's recent visit 10 the Virgin
ia Military Institute
Last Saturday, during the Insti-
tute hour, the corps was addressed |
by Sir Moses Ezekiel. He was pre-
sented by General Nichols. not as
Sir Moses Ezekiel, not as a great
sculptor and man OF world renown,
but as an old cadet, and one OF us.
He has been through the mill; he
was a rat. a mighty corporal, a
IN st sergeant and first class Off
Ger. Weexpect that going through
the mil! in his day was little more
strenuous than it is today, as the
mill then consisted largely of the
Civil War.
Sir Moses Ezekiel was with the
V. M. l. corps during the Civil
War. At the battle OF New Mar
ket be ws.s on the colors, and dur
ing the charge cadet next to MIN
was shot down. He stopped to see
if he could be OF any assistance. but
the cadet looked dead, so he took
the things out of the cadet pockets
and went on. After the battle
Ezekiel saw crowd OF cadets menac-
ing a prisoner. AS things didn't
look good for the prisoner, he went
up and sent the man to the rear,
where the other prisoners we're.
This man later in Richmond sent
for Ezekiels parents and told
them that be was safe. This was
the first news that his parents had
received OF him since the battle.
When the corps marched through
Staunton after the battle, the wo-
men there made great &c do over
them. They were entertained and
treated like heroes. When they
left the people OF Staunton present
ed them with a wreath OF flowers.
Ezekiel carried this wreath back to
Richmond and came into possession
of it, Recently he found it care
fully stored away, got it out and
now it is in the library here at the
Institut
During the last winter Of the war,
the corps was in the lines around
Richmond. Ezekiel tells OF the cold
winter nights in the tents and half
constructed houses, and how in the
evenings the cadets would sit
around the camp fires telling stories
and singing Southern songs. After
the evacuation of Richmond the ".
Nj. ]. corps was disbanded. Eze-
kiel came back to Richmond and
was arrested on the streets because
! he still wore the Southern uni
, form.
After the war, Ezekiel went 10
, Europe, and was war correspon-
} dent during the Franco Prussian
war, He was arrested in Germany
as French spy, and was in sore
plight for awhile. To the Germans,
everyone who Was not a German
was Frenchman. and at one time

A GREAT CORN CROP
Exhibit at State Fair Surpassed All
Expectations


Worth $50, 900, 900, and constantly
increas. ng in value, the corn crop in
Virginia this year as indicated by
the exhibits to be seen ia the corn
building at the State Fair, will be
one OF the most remarkable in the
history OF agriculture in the United
States, as it will show how the farm
ers by careful breeding and modern
methods have developed this prod
uct until Virginia. once far down in
the list, is now one Of the foremost
corn-producing States in the Union.
Arrayed on long tables and stack
I'd high against the walls, the en-
tries OF this exhibit constitute the
Mecca towards which every farmer
turns as soon as entering the
grounds.
Corn is everywhere. It is dis
played on the stalk, in the shuck
and on the clean ear. 1t is shown
singly and in piles. All varieties
are represented, and each exhibit
represents the highest type Of its
variety or breed.
The general exhibit is in two
parts; one showing what the farm
ers of Virginia have done during
the year, the other representing the
work Of the boys corn clubs scat
tered throughout Virginia, some Of
the entries in this second division
being among the very pest to be
seen in the -building.
Every stalk anL ear shows the
most careful breeding and selection,
and if it we're possible to compare
the exhibits this year with those
shown at previous fairs, very re-
markable contrasts would be noticed,
as the corn this year is far better
than it has ever been; the ears are,
the grain is fuller and more uniform.
its quality and feeding value are
| NIX H~i Nuiic Tue percentage OF corr
to the cob is surprisingly large.
Competing for prizes and special
premiums aggregating several thou
sands OF dollars. farmers from every
corn producing section OF the State
have sent in their best products.
Their tall0st and strongest stalks
were selected; their most perfect
ears were chosen. and the result is
that a general exhibit is shown
which stands among the finest corn
exhibits ever shown in the United
States.
On account Of its excellent quality
and hardness. that variety known
as the Boone county special is more
largely represented, several farmers
competing for nearly every prize
with this breed. Splendid exhibits
are shown in the one. five, ten xrC
twenty ear lots. the grain being firm
and hard, VOWS uniform and the ear:
as a whole being as nearly perfec
as it is possible to be; many of then
having grain completely covering
the tip.

THE PROTECTION THAT
THE FARMER WANTS
The Richmond Journal Discusses
The Situation.

A guileless correspondent of the
Newport News Times Herald, in a
letter TO that newspaper, asks if
the fai mel is protected in what he
grows"
He is not, If by protection" is
meant protection from foreign COM
petition. There is high tariff on
practically every agricultural pro-
duct produced in this country, but
that is not protection, for there is
no competition, from which to be
protected. There is practically no
importation of wheat, oats, cattle,
horses, sheep, apples, cabbage and
other agricultural products, for
more is raised in this country than
i, needed. The United States Is an
exporter, not an importer, of agri-
cultural products. The increase
in production of late has not kept
pace with the growth of the demand,
and. as a consequence, the price of
farm products has risen, but the
inc 'eased demand has not been
great enough to wipe out our ex-
ports, and the price has not been
raised high enough to increase TO
any appreciable extent our imports.
The amount of farm products
grown is greater in proportion to
the population than it is across the
water; the law of supply and de-
mand opei ates to make the United
States an exporter of farm products
rather than an importer, and the
imposition Of revenue tx on i'm
ports of such products, when there
are practically no such imports, is
farce, designed for the purpose oil
deceiving The farmers.
The Republican party imposes an
almost prohibitive tax on the i'm.
ports of manufacturing products
for the benefit of the manufacturers
who, by their money and pow err
make the Republican party possible
The protective tariff makes the
bloated corporations, which in turn
work to keep the Republican party
the father of the high protective
tariff, in power.
Such a combination as this, o
course, works to the detriment o
the farmer, in that it Rises the
price he has to pay for his agricul
tural implements, for the clothes h,
wears and the material which en-
tiers into the construction of hi:
house and bt rms. To reimburs,
the farmer, says the protectiOnist
we will put tax on the importation
OF farm products, thus increasing
the price which he can get for wha
he grows. AS there are little or n,
importations of farm products this
of course, is merely pal pabl,
trick to fool the farmer. When h
knows the facts the farmer is no
fooled, and he knows them now
All the arguments of the standpat
ters are useless today, as the re
recent election results in the agri
cultural districts Of the Middl
West testify. That they were use
less in some sections in the past
the farmer vote in the Souther
States has always testified.
