el.vsom CLAIMS TEN


: Chairman J. Taylor Ellyson, Of the
State Democratic Committee, Is out
with statement in which he asserts
that the Democrats will elect the en-
tire Virginia delegation In Congress
next Tuesday. Let us hope he is
right. He would naturally make
such a claim, but the situation this
year gives him ample justification for
it. The ninth district is the only one
about which there was any serious
doubt, the party trouble in the second
growing out OF the rotten primary
having been settled, it is said, 'in the
family"
In the nomination of Mr.. Henry Z.
Stuart, in the ninth probably the best
man was named TO make the cam
paign against Mr.. Slemp. who since
the death of his father has been practi-
cally supreme in that district. :fhis, Il
seems, is Democratic year and 1t will
make the Democratic family feel good
to gather the Grant ninth back into
the fold.i

WHATS nEcoME OF sALLIncER

By the way, what has become OF
Secretary Ballinger these days. For a
long unue he occupied the centre of
the political stage, but now he seems
to have gotten far beyond the range
OF the spot light. Among the cabinet
me nbers who have been campaigning
all over the country, he has been con-
spicuously absent, and Governor Har-
mons recent queries as to his where
abouts have been pertinent. The fact
is, he seems to be the skeleton in the
administration CLOSET and it is hardly
good form to mention him. Like the
black sheep in the family, there is a
certain affection for him, and in the
family he is not believed to be as black
as he is painted. Yet he is not dragged
into the conversation unnecessarily
and certainly is not paraded before the
guests upon STATE occasions.

NOTHING TO DC EXCITED Asour

NOTHING TO BE EXCITED ABOUT
The accident yesterday at the Lewis

his life was happening much to be
regretted yet one which was likely TO
occur at any time. In spite Of every
precaution, men, who work In perilous
positions are likely to become care
less, and make light Of ever present
danger. The remarkable thing about
this whole cave in business 10 that no
one has lost his life before this or has
even been injured. for the men who
have been at work on the job have
been in constant danger in spite Of
every precaution that could be taken
to insure their safety. In:this acci.
dent. regrettable as it is there is
nothing to be excited about and the
only thing for the men on the work to
do. is to exercise the greatest possible
care. This little elipssof earth which
cost one man his life, will probably be

CANCER OF aooskvxLr,sM

1.-THE Cancer of "Rooseveitfsm" is
the way in which Judge Parker de-
scribes the Roosevelt shold on things,
and he urges the voters to s'cut it out. y
Things seem to be getting pretty warm
for the Colonel these days. He is
facing losing fight in New York and
seems to be getting worried. He NOM
mated the ticket, and the platform
was approved by him or it would not
have been adopted. He beat down the
opposition of the 'Old Guard" humll
lated Vice President Sherman and now
she Old Guard has given him the
"whole load to carry" Its weight
seems to oe too much for him.
He is facing almost certain defeat in
New York. Just what effect it will
have on his political fortunes is hara
10 say. It may eliminate him as q
presidential candidate in 1912, but
even that is problematical. But if
any one supposes a defeat at this time
Is going to put him "down and out'
OF politics, he does not understand the
man. His domination Of the situation
10 the New York convention may have
been q political mistake. This is to be
q Democratic year, and IL would have
been good politics for Roosevelt to
have kept hands OF, after the State
Committee had snubbed him. Then
the responsibility for the defeat would
have rested on the committee, and
would have strengthened the Colonel.
Now, however, the responsibility is
his, and he must bear the blame. But
for all that Roosevelt is the master
politician of the age, and is as full OF
schemes as stray dog lis of fleas, and
Is q resourceful fighter. He will be in
the game for many years yet, and al
though he may never again be Presi-
dent, he will be force to be considered
for q long time.

SUPREME COURT HAS
CROWDED. DOCKET.
All Kinds Of Important Cases
to be Heard Before That
Tribunal Which Begins Its
Sessions Today in Rich
mond. Enough Cases to
Occupy Time Till Late
Into Spring

Richmond, Va, Nov. Sits docket
crowded with cases of the utmost i'm
portance the Supreme. Court of APP
peals of Virginia begins its winter ses-
sion Wednesday morning. All kinds
Of suits will be up for decision--crim-
inal, civil, railway and taxation, and it
is probable that the court will have to
extend its terms well into the spring
of 1911, if it wishes to clear the docke,
before adjournment.
Among the criminal cases will be
the appeals Of Dallas Wright, Richard
Perkins and Edward Jones, convicted
in the Buckingham circuit court OF
the murder Of the Stuart brothers and
sentenced to death.
On the civil docket are the appeals
Of the Williams Printing Company
against Clyde Saunders and the Wes-
tern State Hospital board against the
general board of directors of State hos
pitfalls for the insane. The first case is
to avoid payment of 1900 awarded in
favor of Clyde Saunders against the
Williams Printing Company for arti-
cles written by Adon Yodes, and pub
lished in the Idea, which was printed
by the Williams concern. The second
case mentioned involves the Murkland
Will, the board of the Western State
hospital attempting toI compel the
general board to make certain improv-
ments as set forth, according to the
declaration, by the terms OF the will.
Among the railway cases is the ap
peal Of the Washington Southern rail-
way against the ruling OF the State
corporation commission refusing to al.
low the road to charge more than Is
cents mile for passenger tickets in
intra-State business.
An utilization of theabove road Will
fight one of the most important tar
matters. This is the Richmond, Fred.
ericksburg and Potomac railway,
which declines to pay certain taxes in.
l
to the State treasury. holding that its
charter makes it immune from such
taxation.
The State contends, however, that
inasmuch as the road has asked 70
and been granted certain amendments
which in some instances revoked OF
lessoned the power of the original ar
ticles of incorporation, the taxation
exemption has become void, and that
the company is now on an equal basis
as far. as the State is concerned with
all other roads operating in Virginia.
November II will be the first 'sop.
ton day" when number Of cases
heard at the last term of the court in
Staunton will be decided. None Of
the cases heard this term will be
passed upon, however, until Novem-
Der 23d or 25th, and maybe not then, as
the court may declare temporary ad-
journment for Thanksgiving Day.

JUST MATTER or OPINION

Former President Roosevelt was IN
Baltimore Wednesday night and was
introduced to his audience as "Gift
of God" That seems to be drawing It
rather strong. After all, it is only a
matter of opinion and men differ as to
the source of the gift. For instance,
while Mr.. Roosevelt was being re-
ferred to in Baltimore by Bishop
Warren, of the Methodist Episcopal
church, as a gift of God, Mr.. John A.
Dix, in New York, was referring to
him as falsifier. knowingly and will
lingly, and a man whose conduc'
causes him to ''anerit only the pity
of decent men,"
Rather q wide difference of opinion,

MSS MoucM's SLAYER GOES

a Jury IN new 1Ofk mas set Tree
Edward Rosenheimer, who had been
ON trial for manslaughter in running
down with his automobile and killing
Miss Grace Hough, who was driving
In q buggy. An attempt had been
made to convict Rosenheimer, who is
very wealthy, of murder, but Justice
O'Gorman withdrew from the consid-
Grafton of the jury the charge of muir
der in the first degree. Rosenheimel
was driving q heavy and powerful
motor car at railroad speed when he
struck Miss Hough's buggy. A point
considered to be q valid one in his de-
Tense was that Miss Hough's buggy
carried no tail lamp, and the million
aire was set free.
From this distance this verdict
seems gross miscarriage Of justice.
The law requires automobiles to carry
tail lamps but not one horse drawn
vehicle in ten Thousand isso equipped.
Whoever saw one? The automobile is
q useful thing and 1t is here to stay,
but it is too dangerous an instrument
to be entrusted to reckless, careless or
drunken men. Certainly their rights
on the road are no greater than those
of horse drawn vehicles and no dis
elimination should be made in their
favor. If a loaded four-horse team,
going at one-forth the speed Of Rosen-
heimer's motor had killed Miss Hough
there would have been no question Of
tail lamps raised, and the driver would
probably have been convicted Of muir
der or manslaughter. There is no
room in this land for the road hog no
matter whether he drives a motor or
horses and it is time he should be sup
pressed.
