The Byrd Primary Bill.

The Index-Appeai, we think, was
the first to object to Speaker Byrd
primary election bill on the ground
that it was compulsory in character
and deprived party organizations of
just and necessary powers In the con-
duet of elections for the nomination
OF party candidates. We said then
that with these exceptions. the Byrd
primary bill was as good as any. as
Stunning that we must continue TO have
primary elections. The plan has been
Invested of these stings by the elimi-
nation of the compulsory feature and
by allowing the respective parties to
select the officers to conduct these
elections. The bill has been much
improved by these amendments and
great danger in the temptation to
corruption and fraud removed from
IT. We would prefer a measure less
elaborate on details and more COM
prehensible to the average voter. but
since that does not seem to be de-
siFsble to the majority. we can very
heartily endorse the proposed law and
patiently await the inevita Bile coming
of the time when the people of Vir-
ginia will declare. as the result of
experience and a fair trial, that the
costly and cumbersome primary sys-
tenn Is not necessary to a full and fair
expression of a party's will in the
nomination of candidates for public
ofiice.-Petersburg Index-Appeal.

Milk Inspection.

Delegate Throckmorton has admitted. if our mem
DRY is not at fault that his milk-inspection bill,
while ostensibly general measure is designed to
meet a situation in and about Richmond Be that
it may the bill does have special application to
this community and, in opinion is a menace to
public health.
Several years ago it was scovered that the
milk supply of Richmond was far from pure and
physicians testified that many children had been
destroyed by that upon which they fed and that
which should have & ven nourishment and health
A crusade for pure milk was begun. The word
is none too strong to fit the casethe people were
generally aroused and the Board of Health was
reorganized and revived The services of bacteri-
ologist was engaged and system OF milk inspection
begun under rigid rules and regulations. Not only
was the m TX itself Inspected, but the cows also,
the barns in which they kept the food which
they ate and the men who tended and MIXED them.
The latest appliances of scientific hygiene were in
sisted upon by the Board Of Health
The dairymen did not take kindly to the change.
In fact they protested and some of them rebeed.
1t was hard fight but the Board of Health was
firm and the rules were enforced.
We are not going into details, We are not de-
tending every act OF the Board we are not condemn
ing the darymen. They are as honest as men in
other branches of trade and industry. They would
not knowingly sell poisoned milk. They would
not knowingly menace the public health. We do
not ihdlct them; we do not crtiCise them.
But we would emphasize the fact that whereas the
milk supply distributed was impure before the
present system of inspection begun, it is now
SAID to be as pure rich and wholesome that of
any city in the country. The result is the thing
that counts The result in this case makes its own
argument. The present system gives us pure milk.
Therefore, The Nirginian is opposed to tampering
with it. 1t has been tested and proven. Let it
stand.

A Farmers Complaint

A farmer correspondent OF The Nirginian says
that he and his neighbors can draw a breath
of relief since the Legislature has passed by the
measure for the equalization of taxes ITO tell
you the truth" SAYS our correspondent after a
long night of depression which the country has
passed through this is no time for increasing taxes
upon our lands We should have time to repair
our losses and it will take long series of prosperous
years TO put us on our feet again.
This is pulling. We had supposed that the
farmers in all parts of Virginia were rolling in pros
perity. We understood that they had already en-
;oycd "a long series OF prosperous years. Judging
BY the high price of farm products we had imagined
that all the farmers growing rich.
But, testing aside our correspondent is mistaken
in supposing that the General Assembly has aband-
oaed the measure to equaiize taxes and mistaken
again in supposing that the prime object of the
measure is to increase taxes
II an efficient measure is adopted taxes in some
Instances will be lowered. The object of eaualiza-
ton -up=to assess all property according

be made to bear his part OF the burden of taxation
and that no man will be made to bear more than
his share.
1t may be that our correspondents lands are as
sessed higher than his neghbor stands than lands
in other counties, although his property may be

Nassessed at lower figure, If SO, he is bearing
Man his just portion OF the public burden and the

MIR. Mackay's Parchment.

President Mackay of the Postal Telegraph Com
pany has Just returned to New York from tour
through the South in optimistic frame OF mind
He found conditions so favorable that he decided
TO carry into execution extensive improvements
that have been in contemplation for some time past.
But that is not the most interesting fact OF the
interview which Mr.. Mackay gave out, lie de-
livered timely lecture to 'tmid capitalists" II
we are all going to wait" said he,
till capital ceases to be tmid, and labor de-
mands less, instead of more, and statesmen stop
seeking popularity, we might we'll shut up
shop and go home. The only attack we have
now is an attack of bugaboos. The courts have
not been suddenly deprived Of knowledge OF
law, nor the administration OF patriotism, nor
49, Congress OF representative ability, nor the Amer
lean people OF common sense. 1t may and
doubtless will, take some time to adjust leg1sla-
ton to meet the requirements OF changing con-
ditions but that is no reason why business men
should get scared and sit like bumps on log
till all questions finally and definitely settled.
IF the heads of big concerns show the white
feather the thousands of. business men engaged
in lesser affairs will be disheartened naturally
and period of common apathy will set in with
out rhym or reason. Such policy is not only
nonsensical. but wrong. At least that is my
opinion, and our companies are going to act
accordingly
This is good advertising for President Mackay,
but he is welcome to it. The man who talks such
good sense is entitled to it. He has given 'Timid
Capital timely rebuke. What is there to be
afraid of There is no assault property interests
anywhere. There is no danger that Congress will
restrain legitimate enterprise There is danger
that President Taft will do The President is a
business man and conservative in all his He
has no fight with men or corporations save such
as are arrogant and ,lawless. So long the cor
porations behave, Congress will behave and the
President will behave. Capitals tmidity is con-
fession, if it is bluff. We inclined to be-
leve that it is the latter But the bluff will do no
good and 1t may do much harm As President
Mackay well says, If the heads of big concerns
show the white feather, the thousands of business
men engaged in lesser affairs will be dsheartened.
Prosperity depends upon confidence, and confidence
is easily shaken. Let the big interests reflect
that while they are bluffing and giving object
lessons and warnings. they may bring on the very
thing that they trying to ward off.

Rights of the Taxpayers.

1t is fortunate for the Democratic
party in Virginia that the people OF
this State are conservative to the
point of long suffering, and that the
enforced habit of voting tire Demo-
cratic ticket TO preserve white SUI
premacy has become SO fixed that
party leaders may safely defy public
sentiment and go almost any length
in disregarding popular rights.
A few days ago The Progress point
ed out what 1t believed to be certain
elements of danger to the future sue
cess of the Democratic party in Nir-
ginia, in view Of the elimination OF
the negro vote, and referred to the
division of sentiment on the liquor
question and the bitterness of party
primaries as possible causes for de-
crease in party fealty. But more Sc
rious than either. to our mind, is the
growing belief that office holders con-
stitute the first consideration of the
lawmakers. while the taxpayers are
merely incident to the system of gov
eminent needed for assessment when
salaries are to be raised or new Of

Value of Publicity.

Young Mr.. Tillman did public service in making
over his children to his parents. When it was first
announced that he had taken the children away from
their mother and decided them to Senator and Mrs
Iillman IAN cutlery raised and public attention
attracted to the South Carolina law under which the
transfer was made. The Legislature was in session
and it was not long before bill was introduced and
not long thereafter before it was passed, amending
the law to give to the mother and not to the
father the jurisdiction the children. Since then
the Supreme Court of the State, as reported in
yesterday Virginian, has handed down decision
IN habeas corpus proceeding, taking the children
away from Senator Tillman and awarding them to
their mother.
Score another victory for publicity. The
newspaper got hold of this story and gave it wide
circulation he editors commented on it. eorre-
spondents discussed it and everybody denounced the
act of the heartless father and the law which sane
toned it. Public sentiment rapidly crystalized and
the action OF the State Legislature was inevitable

YotIer and Richmond.

Editor of The Nfrgfnian;
Sir,--In the general chorus of con-
domination of Mr.. Yoder and his pub
lication there may be room Tor note
of "A different character Whatever
may be the truth az to the particular
individual or publication. the fact
seems plain that what sustained them
gwen for II time was popular dissatis-
faction with lax law enforcement.
without the general admission OF a
failure on the part of city authorities
to enforce the laws against an open
Sunday and houses of III fame, the
statements of Mr.. Yoder would not
have been eagerly drunken in by those
hungry for the truth. Men who know
the existence of large evils may easily
be led to believe that there are also
other evils. and that where evil ex-
lists some particular persons are re-
spensible for their -eeAtinHance.----
The essential thing for the people
to face Is not the specific errors, or
Interpretations coming from The
Idea" but the acknowledged exist
ence among us of real rottenness-
whatever polite name we may use by
which to cover 1t up. The great
question for the people of this city
Is not whether any particular writer
shall disgrace Richmond but whether
Richmond, by coolly accepting the
known violation of law and publica-
ton of vice, shall disgrace herself.
