Republicans inviting Disaster.

Senator Elkins' resolution calling
for a sweeping inquiry into the high
cost Of living, which was onered on
January, is sim In committee. The
resolution provides for the appoint
nent OF n select committee OF sena-
tors. with instructions TO go 10 the
bottom OF the vexed questions OF
prices and profits. wages and incomes.
combinations and monopolies. and TO
report remedial legislation.
The bread lines on which the FL
kins resolution is drawn should win
for II special recognition among the
legislative propositions looking TO
solution OF the same problem. but
rome OF which comes up to II In scope
and thoroughness. II Is, therefore,
The more surprising that the resoiu-
|tIon has been suffered TO lie In com
mittee so long There is no known
reason for the delay in reporting II
back to the senate. where, day by
day the fact is being more strongly
Impressed upon the members that the
country viii be satisfied with moth
ing short of what the resolution con-
templates.
Moreover, besides the duty OF dis
charging it's responsibility to all the
PEOPLE. the majority side OF the sen
ate owes IL TO its party to follow
course calculated to extend its leass
of power Can it AFFORD to hold in
allegiance that which the people are
so fnsistent upon having done at the
earliest possible day? Can it hope 10
win IL it justly rests under the re-
|proach of having failed. in time OF
greatly distressed conditions, 10 do alt
In its power toward remedying the
|tvil? II is the firm conviction OF
many Republicans in the middle west
that legislation at Washington has
much TO do with the high cost OF hv-
ling, AMI il would seem 10 be mad
nclitics indeed for the Republicans TO
hesitate to meet this charge.
II the laws, by favoritlsm or in
effectiveness. contribute to the high
cost of living, the Republican party
pust face the music; for II makes the
i laws. and can mend them. II the party
does no. dare to face the music now,
Il will be compelled to later. at the
ballot box. II the Republicans In
congress dodge the question their
Democratic brethera will bring IL up.
President Taft Is understood TO be
N favor OF such a searching inyesti-
CATION as the Elkins resolution con-
templates. The Republican majority
ought to favor il. Many Democrats,
also. world probably vote for it. But
the Democrats, who might be induced
now to vote for such resolution, VIII
ne sure to be heard from later If the
Republicans fail to act.
In view OF the nationwide uprising
against the high price OF meat, the
party in power invites disaster when
il attempts to postpone or smother
searching investigation OF the con-
ditions complained of.-Washington

Three of the steamers fer fuel came

Many steamers have arrived here
this year for fuel coal and this trade
seems to be on the increase again.
Last year the trade was diverted to
other ports. but the local coal agents
are slowly getting il back again.

The most striking argument for
altering the present oyster law. Is
the appalling low grade Of civilization
which Il produces. and which seems
TO peryade the oyster section general
Iva civilization comparable. from
their respective view points. with
many of the African tribes. rh'a
statement may apear extrayagant;
but coming from a Piedmont county
in nowise interested In oyster culture,
and practicing my profession in u
city whose people are committed 10
neither side OF the controversy. be-
lieye my conclusions have been reach
ed without bias or undue haste. the
average FISHERMAN probably does not
appreciate his dissracerl ignorance
or deplorable citizenship. nor is he
responsible for IL. Ii Is forced upon
him and he follows the line of eS-
pedlency with the best light before
him as his antecedents have done.
The grea; majority are negroes. in
some counties the proportion being
four negroes to one white man. The
oyster season opens during the
school year. fall and winter. when the
small boy is in great demand for Gull
ing purposes. This small boy cannot
be in two places at the same time;
and his father. in the close compe-
tition with the shiftless negro. is
forced TO take him from school 10
clustering where his character Is
moulded according TO the exigencies
OF the trade He Is crowded into an
unsanitary oysterman's camp or
weather. beaten hovel. where drinking
and fighting are frequent pasttimes.
and he breathes the contagion of dis
honesty. cheating and stealing. which
our expensive oyster navy is unable 10
suppress, until his better ensibilities
are blunted into believing them justi-
fable and right. The business does
not appear to the observer TO be re-
muntrative. judging from the dearth
of prosperity and thrift In evidence
among them, but rather a curse 10 de-
bauch them. A comfortable home
among them, but rather curse to de-
spicuous by its absence and the neg
roes. who far outnumber them. are
conspicuous for having none AZ all. 1t
is no wonder that the succeeding gen.
erations of this life have retroerad-
ed to the borderlani of barharism.
Il am not familiar with or interest
ed in the commercial side OF the pro-
position, but II IL is true that 70 per
cent OF these valuable lands have be-
come depleted. and those whom the
legislature in its kindness attempts
to foster have instead injured, there
are no valid reasons why the lands
below the water should not be farmed
like those above. and the state re-
ceive from 100000 10 100000 an
nually for application to more urgent
needs of its many valuable institu-
tons. 1t appears to an outsider that
the Baylor survey has outliyed its
usefulness, and that Connecticut and
other northern states have largely
consumed the oyster industry, which
Virginia is strangling by clinging 10

WINTER CLEANING

Along the frozen highway
Haste we, my love and l.:
The golden moon OF winter
Ascends the darkening sky.
Through beautiful bare branches
Pours down her light serene,
And marks a path Of giary
Her world and ours between.
The little low brown grasses
Rustic along our wake.
The winds. through tossing pine
bougbs,
Melodious music make.
The eager winds they speed us
Although the winter gloam.
T0Tard distant twinkling windows
The reckoning lights Of home.

Session to Confirm Commissioner.

A join; meeting OF the city council
&c act upon the appointment of a police
commissioner by Mayor Jones and q
special meeting of the common coun-
ell TO take up the budget will be held
at the city hall Tuesday night. Presi-
dent Il. w. Robinson. OF the board of
aldermen. will call the joint session
and President ID. s. Jones. OF the
common council will call the session
Cf the lower branch.
The consideration of the budget for
the next fiscal year probably will re-
quire several hours, as there are many
items to be gone over. The finance
committee compiled the budget care
fully, cutting down expenses where
ever possible. A general increase was
provided for in the license taxes es-
pecially on the larger corporations
and the wholesale liquor houses.
Oppose the Increase.
II is understood that the increase
les will meet with opposition on the
floor of the council. II has been gen
orally reported that if the increase
goes into effect, the smaller compan-
les will have to close their agencies
here, while the. larger companies
will increase the rate.
Local insurance agents say that
the rate here is about as high as in
any other city in Virginia. The fire
loss here is less than that of any 9TH
er Virginia city Of this size and il is
likely that local merchants and bust
ness men will take some steps TO
have the rates reduced. Certainly
they will strongly oppose any increase
in them.
Everybody Is Guessing.
Although Mayor Jones appointed
police commissioner to succeed Mr..
Ashby several weeks ago, no one
| seems to know who is the man named.
Mayer Jones annouced that in making
the appointment ne had sought to
name a man who was above party
factions and it is rumored that the
apointment will cause some surprise
in political circles. The man named
has not heretofore been mentioned
IN connection with the Office.
Soon after Mr. Ashby resigned last
September, Mayor Jones apo nted
Col John W. Friend as the commits
sioner. but the council refused to con-
firm the appointment The mayor de-
cided then to wait several months
before naming another man and in
the meantime Chairman H. B. Holmes
and r. d. Holloway have been trans
acting the business of the board Of
notice commissioners.
