"sHEEHAN OR NOBODY"

"It's Sheehan or nobody" says Boss
Murphy who seems to be the majority
of the New York Legislature when it
comes to selecting q democrat to
succeed Depew as q United States
Senator. People all over the country
are watching the contest in Albany for
the Eight there has assumed national
importance. The lovers of decency
in politics are hoping that the little
band Of democratic insurgents will
b able to hold ont against the forces
Tammany will bring to bear against
shem. and either compel the selection
Of . compromise candidate or let the
place 60 un6lled. It would be better
TO have Depew's seat vacant than to
have the democracy represented in
the senate by "Blue Eyed Billy"
It ia said the election Of Sheehan
will cost the democratic party q mil
lien votes in the next election. This
IL far fetched. While his election
would no doubt cause the party some
embarrassment, it would not by any
means lose it such . number of votes.
Fortunately the country does not
hold the democracy responsible for
the doings Of those who owe allegi-
ancs to Tammany, any more than
thoughtful men hold the republicans

Yet DR.. Bradford assures us that
probably 25 per cent. of births curing
in Staunton are not reported. Were
they all reported there would lie a de-
cidedly different showing and it seems
that all that should be Necessary
would be to call to the attention of all
physicians the necessity of obeying
the law requiring the reporting of all
births.

LAUREL HILL NOTES

Laurel Hill, Feb. S.-Thousands and
thousands of crows are seen passing
over and around here, going north in
the mornings and returning south in
the evenings. 1t is said they roost ON
and near Betsy Bell. There surely
ought to be bounty on crow stalps if
ever so small; as in the spring farmers
have trouble with them about and
after corn planting. Then in the fall
they destroy lots of corn and are
nuisance in many ways.
If automobile drivers used the road
much now between New Hope and
Staunton the toll gates wouldn't be

an awful plight, almost impossible in
