Good Roads

Editor of The Virginian:
Strive read with delight all that has been
said in behalf of the good roads movement,
through the columns Of The Virginian the peer
of any paper published in the land. DER which
old glory floats.
We are anxious for the time to come when
the press of country, the good people to-
gether with the enterprising. progressive men
Of the State and nation, will unite In one grand
effort for good and better roads in this land
Of ours 1t seems to me we have neglected our
highways for 10 these many years, yet they are
Of the utmost Importance to and for the de-
velopment OF homes. State and nation II

thusiastic this subject they are on the

would not be long till the good roads talk and
the good roads movement would resolve itself
into the good roads in reality.
However realise, as with the individual
SO with the government. do not reach the
height Of greatness by leaps and bounds but
We may attain 1t by one continual pressing on
ward and upward: -
Now long live The Virginian. May her In
nuence for right and for the good roads move

On the other hand II the majority OF the
citizens were upright and honorable men who

ties issue subpeonas by tho wholesale and the

THAT RUSSIAN TREATY.

1t does not greatly matter to the American
people how the thing is done so ha it is done.
done legally and done effectively. But one
thing is certain practically unanimous public
sentiment demanded the abrogation of the
treaty of 1892 with Russia
Whether the President possesses the author
ity to initiate action looking to the abrogaton
of the treaty or whether the House OF Repre-
sentatives has the right to take action in the
tons in which the public has but little interest
The main thing Is that the treaty be termin-
ated by this nation. The national honor. as
we'll the rights at large and honorable
class of citizens. demanded this much.
= Perhaps 1t Is Just as well that the affair
should be consummated without offense TO
Russia The Sulzer resolution seems to have
aggrieved that nation. The New York Fress,
we believe very facetiously remarks that what
Russia was offended at was the accusation OF
having violated the treaty. The fact of having
violated 1t does not disturb Russia but the
ground OF difference between the governments
and real reason for terminating the treaty be
stated in more polite way.
This Is what the Senate has done The
Lodge resolution states that this ancient reso-
luton Is no longer responsive to the needs OF
the political and material relations of the
countries which grow constantly more import
ant and expresses the desire to negotiate a
modern treaty Of friendship. commerce and
navigation upon bases more perfectly respon-
sive to the interests Of both governments.

be chloroformed rather than shot who shall

tom The main thing Is to get rid OF the
dog.

COMMISSIONER KoINERs GREAT WORK

COMMISSIONER KoINERs GREAT WORK
The annual report Of the Commissioner OF
Agriculture is full OF interest and profit for
the farmer and full OF facts that, when given
wide currency. will attract settlers to Virginia
One would find 1t difficult to think of any sub
ject Of Importance to the farmer. orchard grower
or cattle raiser which Is not treated In this
valuable little volume.
OF more general interest however. the
facts stated in the report proper OF the COM
missioner. These facts are significant as
showing what has been accomplished in the last
decade and as suggesting what may be yet
sive methods as have been employed by the de-
partment IN the past
Twelve years ago coo copies of the report
were issued last year 10000 were distributed
and the supply inadequate to the demand.
During the year 100000 bulletins upon agricul-
tural subjects were issued and eagerly read by
farmers who are alive to the Importance OF
introducing scientific methods in the operation
OF their farms. Farmers institute. farming
trains and experiment stations have been main
tained for the benefit OF the farmers
The closing paragraphs Of the report are
especially encouraging to those who have con-
fldence In the future of their great State. They
state that the value of farm lands in Virginia
has increased by 100 per cent. during the last
ten years increase in pecuniary value Of
| $2590o0 900 The commissioner expresses hi
confidence that. If the State will appropriate

resources and opportunities of Virginia thi
