If several Virginia Republican
leaders have their say, not a man

ial ticket in this State will get a
Federal plum. In fact, there is a
quiet little movement among sever
al State leaders to raise the bars on

publican State ticket last fall tina.

Federal Office and not State offices is
mainly responsible for the attitude
of some of the Virginia leaders.
Those who will likely be affected
by this movement should it be car
ried out, are Captain w. p. Kent,
who resigned consul generalship
to run for Governor, and John b.
Locke of Newport News, who wants
to be collector of port of Newport
News. Locke ran for secretary of
the commonwealth. Captain Kent
has not been out scouting for a

it is not known whether he wishes
now to retire to private life.

Negroes as Census Enumerators

Predicting that the coming count
will show approximately ten mil
lions negroes in the United States.
directing that negroes be selected
to count their race in those enume-
ration districts where the blacks
muster two-fifths or more of the
population, and requiring both
white and negro enumerators in
many Southern districts in order to
preclude negroes from enumerating
whites, Census Director Durand
has issued general instructions to
supervisors.
Negroes doubtless can obtain
the information required from their
own race more accurately than
white enumerators, says Mr.. Dur
and. The white men Of the South
recognize the desirability OF employ
ing negroes to do work of this char
acter among their own race. l do
not consider it desirable that in the

THE PRESIDENT SAYS
WHISkEY IS WHISKEY
The Article Must Be Labeled What
1t Is

President Taft has decided the
meaning of the term whisky" un-
der the Pure Food act of 1906. His
Interpretation OF the much moot
ed question is, that whisky
is whisky, whether it be the pure
article or blended article. In his
opinion explaining his decision.
President Taft SAYS, regarding its
effect:
The public will be made to know
exactly the kind of whisky they buy
and drink. If they desire straight
whisky. they can secure it by pur-
chasing what is branded straight
whisky. If thew are willing to
drink whisky made OF neutral spir-
its, then they can buy it under a
brand showing it; and if they are
content with blend OF fl9 vors made
by the mixture OF straight whisky
and whisky made of neutI al spirits.
the brand of the blend upon the
package will enable them to buy and
drink that which they desire. This
was the intent OF the act. Itinjures
no mans lawful business, because
it only insists upon the statement of
the truth in the label.
If those who manufacture whis-
ky made of neutral spirits and wish
to call it whisky without explana-
tory phrase. complain because the
addition of neutral spirits in the
label takes away some Of their trade,
they are without Just ground be-
cause they lose their trade merely
from statement of the fact. The
straight whisky men are relieved
from all future attempt to pass of
neutral spirits whisky as straight
whisky.
More than this, if straight whis
ky or any other kim of whisky is
aged in the wood. the fact may bt
branded on the package, and this
claim TO public favor may TRUTHFUL,
be put forth. Thus the purpose O
the Pure Food law is fully accom-
plished in respect OF misbrandins
and truthful branding"

Road Improvement in Virginia on
The Increase

Baltimore Sun: The State High
ways Commission of Virginia has
just published statement of road
Improvement accomplished in the
last year which is most gratifying.
In the last three or four years no
less than ~ counties have issued
bonds to provide funds for extern
sive road making. The entire sum
of these loans is 81, $4,000. In ad-
dition to this is the regular appro-
priation in each county from the tax
levy. Ninety counties have availed
themselves of State aid in making
their roads, somewhat after the
Shoemaker law in Maryland. The
State Road Commission OF Virginia
was established in July, 1906, and
since that time a splendid work has
been done. The law makes provi-
sion for the employment of convict
labor on the roads. This feature
might we'll be added to our Mary
land law.
Virginia and the other Southern
States which have embarked in
road making and have accomplished
SO much have undertaken a far
more difficult work than that which
has been done in the North. The
areas of the States and the conse-
Quent length of these are much great
err, the country is more sparsely
peopled, there is less wealth, and in
many sections an absence of road
material which is abundant in all
the New England States. The area
of Virginia alone exceeds the CON-
bined areas OF the FIVE States of
Massachusetts, New Hampshire,
Vermont, Connecticut, Rhode Is
land and New Jersey. This fact
shows how much greater is the
problem to be worked out with
limited resources.
