HALFWAY HONEST.

AT frequent, recurring periods GER
tain of the Democratic NEWSPAPERS and
leaders in Virginia manifest a great in
terest in and desire for clean politics
and honest elections in the State. These
manifestations, however, are of short
duration, because they are built upon
the sand and not upon an enduring
foundation. The impulses that are in
tended to be honest are too contracted
and partake more of the halfway hon
est than of the genuine, complete prin-
ciple.
Recently there has been one of these
manifestations among the Virginia IA
pers and the leaders of what is known
as the anti-machine faction. was.
seemingly, provoked by the recent
Democratic primary in the Second Con-
gressIonal district, where fraud ran
riot and both factions were proven to
have cheated each other. This gave
the anti>machine faction an opportunity
to again make its appeals to the public
IN behalf of an honest primary law.
which has heretofore been denied by the
faction that has control of the election
machinery and the politics of the State.
There is but one way for the opposi-
ton faction of the Democratic party to
secure an honest primary law, and that
IS to become the sincere and fearless
advocates of honest general election
laws. These we have not had in Vir-
GINA for more than q quarter of a CEN
tury; and we cannot have them until
the unfair, partisan provisions put in
the new constitution for Gripping and
destroying the Republican party are re-
Vised or repealed. In helping to per-
petuate Democratic rule by such means
as were Incorporated in the constitu-
tion' the anti-machine Democrats have
made 1t possible for the machine men.
or "office-holder's trust, d" to perpetuate
their power. And the joint dishonest
action of both factions put those who
now desire reforms in the primary laws
in position where their professions of
honesty may very we'll be ridicuIed by
the dominant faction. The ms or RING
STEERS can very reasonably inquire of
those who now complain of the dishon-
est administration of primary elections.
Why haven't you complained and why
don't you complain of the dishonest adj
ministration of the general election
laws, by which the Republicans have so
long been defrauded and outraged?'
Mr.. Glass, Mr.. Tucker and all the
other anti-machine Democrats, as well
as the newspapers that are calling for
an honest primary, may as we'll cease
their clamors. unless they are willing to
demand for Republicans the same fair
treatment they are demanding for them
selves. They can't secure honest poll
tics and honest elections by being half
way honest themselves.

We notice that Messrs. Tucker. Jones
and Glass have been holding a confer
ence over in Washington for the pur-
pose of devising plans to defeat Martin
and Swanson next year for the United
States Senate. And the press reports
state that Mr.. Tucker announced that
Henry c. Stuart would be the Machine
candidate for Governor in 1918. Last
week we suggested that things looked
like deal had been made between Stu
art and Martin and Swanson; but we
hardly expected the anti machine lead
ers to so soon announce Mr.. Stuart's
desertion of his heretofore friends. So.
Mr.. Stuart has become a convert to the

Roads are to a city or village what
the arteries are to the human BODY.
without them no community can exist,
and it naturally follows that the better
the roads the greater the prosperity of
the community. Many people will 90
miles out of their way to trade in some
place to which they may travel over
good hard roads, and in SO doing will
avoid the town near at hand to which
approach is difficult because of bad
roads. Yet there are many places so
destitute of good sense and business en-
terprise that they never improve the
roads. These are the places that vege-
tate and die and whose people curse
their fate and complain of hard times.

Begs Pardon for Husband.

Washington, May 9.-Dressed in a
modest gray suit and black hat, a
sadfaced, gray-haired little woman
stood nearly all the afternoon at the
main entrance of the house and SEN
ate to-day and quietly importuned
members of congress to sign petit
ton to the president to pardon her
husband from the penitentiary.
The woman was Mrs. Charles w.
Morse, wife of the New York finan-
;eier in the federal prison at Atlanta,
Ca, serving a sentence of IA years
for wrecking banks in New York.
Many members of both houses and
senate signed the petition, but some
declined abruptly. Most of the New
York members of the house signed.
although there were some who de-
clined.

BURNED WITH THE HOUSE.
Young Man Refused to Jump From
Window and is Lost.

At Hickory, n. c., Mr.. Clarence
Seaboch, a 2O-year7old youth, was
burned to death Friday night in a
second story room of his fathers
house. The boy went home at II
o'clock and at 1910 the alarm was
turned in. The old man went to the
window and cried to his son, who
was screaming for help, to jump.
It was only about fourteen feet to
the ground, but the young man seem
ed to be dazed. He went back into
the room and not long after his
agonized parent saw him fall to his
knees and the flames blotted out
any further vision. A man climbed
on an improyised scaffold to the
window a little later, but was too
late.
The charred and unrecognizable re-
mains were found in the ashes. Young
Seaboch went home at IL O'Clock,
and, as he smoked it is supposed that
he may have dropped a spark or left
lamp too near some inflamable ma
terial. The city is shocked over the
holocaust and there is a general
awakening to the Importance of fire
escapes.

HUNG BY HER HEELS.
Terrible Fiendish Act of Cruelty Re
ported from Georgia

# The Augusta Chronicle says last
Monday morning negro girl, IL
years old, was found hanging by her
heels to pine tree in Lincoln coun-
ty. The girl had been missing since
Saturday two weeks ago.
When discovered she was almost
dead. She had been beaten terribly
and showed evidences of other i'll
treatment. After being attended by
doctors, she regained consciousness
long enough to tell who had treated
her so cruelty. The names of the
parties are not given, but it is learn
ed that two negro women and a ne
gro .man are in jail at Lincolnton,
charged with the crime.
Nothing is known as to how long
the girl had been hanging to the
tree. She had been tied up with
wild grape vines. The thongs had
! cut into her flesh and bloodpoisoning
has set in. She is not expected to
live.
Sheriff Wright, of lincoln county,
who was in Augusta, says that he
has been unable to find out the cause
of the girls treatment, but under
stands that it grew out of some con-
tention over work on a farm in that
county.

Slashed With Knife.

Buena Vista, Ca, May 81. 7.
Turner, a we'll to do planter, was so
terribly slashed. with a knife by his
cousin, Will Turner, at the formers
home near here this morning that it
is believed that he has no chance for
recovery. Mrs. Turner saw the at
tack on her husband, but it is alleged, |,
was deferred from going to his as
sistance by a threat against her own
life. Her screams attracted her
daughter, who rushed from the
planters home with a gun. Will
Turner fed when the girl ran up. A
dispute about matters on the plan
tation, it is said, caused the cutting.
A posse is pursuing Will Turner.

Wickersham Defies Orders of Senate

washington, May S.7ZACtoFney
General Wickersham has declined to
carry out the resolution of Senator
E. D. Smith to ascertain who sold the
cotton to Messrs, Brown, Hayne, Pat
ten and others alleged to have cor
nered the staple.
The resolution was passed by the
senate without opposition last week,
being the first measure that Senator
Smith had put through. 1t created
something of a sensation at the time
in New York.
The cotton spectators who sold
this cotton or the contracts were in a
hole being caught short and forced
to deliver. Senator Smith in pre-
senting his resolution declared that
the Attorney General was assisting
the cotton bears by instituting the
proceedings against those who bought
the contracts and that this was great
ly to the injury of the Southern cot
ton farmer and would benefit only
the short spectators and the foreign
purchasers of cotton.
The attorney general in reply to
the demand Of the Smith resolution
to investigate who sold the contracts
said in a communication to- the Sen
ate that it was not his function or
his duty to make Investigations at
the command of congress. He stated
in effect that he would ignore the
resolution of Senator Smith and that
he did not care for any further orders
from the legislative branch of the
government.
Senator Smith says that he does
not intend to let the matter drop and
he feels confident the facts about the
alleged pools and the aggressive bears
will, come to light before he is done
with it. ''The language of the attor-
ney general is respectful enough" he
says. "He simply says he has no au-
thority to delve into the matter or to
ask for an indictment by the grand
jury except upon some complaint.
But the senate judiciary commit
tee has it under consideration wheth-
er or not Mr.. Wickersham is legally
correct in his position. If this COM
mittee decides that he is, then 1 shall
ask for a senate investigation COM
mittee. Then we would have Messrs.
Brown, Hayne, Patten, sears and the
others before this committee, and
they would be glad to disgorge the
wanton secret of who sold them the
cotton. My opinion is that Mr..
Wickersham is ready to drop the
whole matter. The cotton bears have
bought and delivered, understand,
so that if it has been his desire to
help out these bears by institpting
proceedings which would depress the
price of cotton, that purpose was i'm
mediately accomplished, for he did
cause cotton to go down. Since my
resolution passed the senate it went
up again, but the bears seem to- have
recouped, while it was down, but the
thing has gone to the point now
where it is too late to hedge. If Mr..
Wickersham does not find out the
facts in the case the senate will"

The selection of an attorney by
the plaintiff in the suit against The
State Co. seems to be significant.
Wonder if this is not a case of at
tempted revenge on the part of some
body? We have no idea the suit will
amount to anything, or that it will
ever reach a jury. No doubt non
suit will be granted just as soon as
a Judge gets a chance at it.

Washington, Jan. 14.--TsThe conser.

This statement epitomizes the formal
announcement made public tonight by

which now faces the country is not the
loss Of natural resources 30 much as
whether special interests or the people
shall rule. The statement, in part. is
as follows:
- At this time have no comment to
make on recent events. Whether in or
out OF the government service, l pro-
pose to stay in the fight for conserva.
ton and equal opportunity Every
movement and measure, from whatever
source, that tends to advance conserva-

Every movement and measure, from

moves toward this paramount end as
am to oppose it when it moves

Long Beach, Cal, Jan. l6.-Cut of

Christy, professional deep-sea diver
spent the worst Is minutes of his life
today in desperate battle on the sea
bottom with large devilfish.
Christy had gone down to inspect
the caissons and piers of the outer
wharf for the city. In wandering
around he tangled his lifeline up SO
that when he felt the octopus seize his
leg he was unable to give the signal
for ascending.
Perceiving that the line was fast he
turned to the octopus, which by that
time had four tentacles wrapped around
his left leg. Five times he slashed
at the monster with his big scraping
knife and each time severed tentacle.
At last, the octopus moved away and
Christy FASTENED to straighten out the
lifeline and gave the signal to be
hauled up. He has been in a state
bordering ON nervous collapse ever
since, but his condition is not serious.
