ROLL CALL DRAWS LARGE AT,
TENDANCE AT OLD CHESTER
FIELD CHURCH.

The roll call of Mt. Hermon church,
in Chesterfield county. last Sunday was
attended by an immense crowd OF
people. and the occasion was one of
the most interesting and pleasant
events In the history of the church.
1t was an all day meeting, and one
of the most delightful features of the
affair was the elegant dinner served
by the ladies Of the church. Long ia
bles had been arranged under the big
oaks and they were laden down with
good things to eat.
Mt. Hermon neighborhood is noted
for its hospitality, and never was the
generous disposition of the people
seen to better advantage. A hearty
welcome was extended to all visitors,
and the young ladies and men of the
church did not wait for the crowd to
come up to the tables, but with watt
ers filled with good things to eat pass =
ed through the crowd, offering a gra-
cious welcome with the fried chick
en-, Virginia ham and pies of every
kind.

membership answered to their names

eral members Of the church made
short speeches and quartette from
the choir furnished a very attractive
number to the musical program.
During the time set apart for the
dinner the meeting was into n social
affair. and an old fashioned hand
shaking was induiegd In by everybody
present.

A Threatened Invasion of the Mall.

A Genuine Diplomatic Triumph.

From the Springfield Republican.
The phrase diplomatic triumph" has
been much overworked: often it has
been applied to exploits that were
SNOWY. unsubstantial and cheap. A real
diplomatic triumph, however. is now
scored by the Taft administration in
the ratification of the new treaty of
trade and commerce with Japan. The
apparently impossible has been accom-
plished. A month ago no one would
have ventured to predict that a treaty
eliminating the immigration clause
could pass the United States Senate.

senators from the Pacific coast states.
The process of renewing the Gresham
treaty threatened to be fruitful Of
dangerous complications and of Incl
dents significant OF race prejudice most
hurtful to the relations between Japan
and the United States Less than a
week ago the country was surprised
by the announcement that a treaty
satisfactory to Japan relative to the
immigra ton question had been sent to
the Senate. Today that treaty has the
approval of the Senate and it is soon
to be the law of the land

The Battle on Capitol Hill.

1t was not brought about with that
object in view. but the present situation
in Congress is ideal for careless and
undesirable legislation Everybody Is
going at top speed. Speakers are pouring
out language in quantities. Conferees
are but glancing at things. Clerks are
pushing their pens TO the utmost. A halt
is impossible. Painstaking is out of the
question. Nobody has sufficient time for
his work. Every body wants to do as
much possible in a minute
In such drive, mistakes are in the
nature of things. Misplaclng a comma
or a semicolon has at times brought on
expensive controversy over the interpre-
tation OF statute. Obscurities growing
out of an unfortunate choice of words
have often occurred. Unworthy items in
bills of many items have escaped notice.
Worthy items, which might have been
made broader and stronger. have passed
in an incomplete shape. Good bills have
been sacrificed outright in the crush.
Appropriation bills are always caught
N a session-end blockade. and the pub
lie always suffers, more less. as the
result. They are long bills. composed
of many items based upon estimates.
cussed with great care. Only in such
way may extravagant estimates be re-
duced. pinched estimates raised. and jobs
exposed and frustrated. In such hula
baloo the keenest and best mentioned
legislator is placed at a disadvantage,
and robbed of his opportunity to render
the country good service.
The remedy" There seems to be none
Legislators appear fond Of such maneu-
party generals. They watch one anoth-
er's moves with all interest, and make
their own with relish. No time of a
congressional session is so ENJOYABLE to
them as when such a battle is on, and
the public is aroused by complications
which. in the main. it is unable to COM
prehend.
The battle now in progress on Capitol
Hill is as pretty as this generation has
witnessed. The stakes are large The
contestants are thoroughly competent
There are divisions and divisions Shall.

Docs either side really desire oneo Which
side will benefit in legislative results and

Tor time Congress thought the Presi-
gross was bluffing. Hence the tangle.
However that may be, the tangle exists.
and but four days remain in which, if il
is possible, an extra session may be
avoided.

The Canal to Be Fortified
From the Boston Transcript.


The decision Of the House, in which the
Senate is sure to concur, that the Panama
canal shall be fortified, may be put down
among the successes Of the Taft admin
istration. The President is a man of
peace, a firm believer in arbitration. who
is constantly working to extend its appli-
cation. Nevertheless, he realizes that it
takes two to go to The Hague, and that
nations in war always seek to reach the
keypoint of their opponents defenses. In
a broad way the canal is such keypoint
in our line of protection The freedom of
the United States rapidly to move its
fleet from one ocean to the other is an
advantage which We should forfeit under
any scheme of naturalization that is con-
ceivable. We could not neutralze the
canal without taking upon ourselves the
obligation imposed on others. 1t is out
of the question that the other great ma
tons Of the world would consent to tie
their own hands and leave ours free. AS
a part of our defenses the Panama canal
must take the chances Of war, and there
fore there is no course open to us but so
to fortify it as to render it impregnable.

The Commissioner Salaries

1t is greatly to be regretted that one of
the desirable items carried by the District
appropriation bill. as amended by the
Senate. increasing the salaries Of the Dis
trict Commissioners from 5000 to $4,000
a year. which = was thought had been
accomplished as a legislative fact, should
have been lost at the last moment by the
definite vote of the House. The civilian
Commissionerships are the only municipal
offices that are protected by law to the
extent that incumbents are required to be
bona fide residents Of the capital. 1t is
highly desirable that these places should
be given every possible measure of dig
nifty and that the compensation allotted
to them should be commensurate with the
duties and Importance of the interests in
trusted to them. Congress has in many
lines recognized the necessity of paying
public servants larger sums In compensa-

Oscar w. Underwood.

In a few weeks Mr. Underwood of Ala
bama may be the most conspicuous public
man In America, and remain so for
months. If the Sixty-second Congress sits
in extra session the tariff will be the pril-
cipal topic of discussion. and the chair
man OF the ways and means committee
will lead the discussion. The moves he
makes will all be closely appraised. The
words he utters in debate will all be read
and reread with care. The revision pro-
posed will be known-at the start at least
AS the Underwood revision. If the I'M
expected should happen, and the Senate,
through a combination of insurgent re-
publicans and democrats. should accept
the Houses work. the new law will be
known as the Underwood law. For these
reasons a very white light will beat on
the gentleman from Alabama from the
moment he takes the reins.
His home is in Birmingham-a prosper

ness circles the Pittsburg of the south.

Of a Virginia college. but his political

path. and probably knows 1t. He has
said that some of his protection constit-
uents consider him a free trader, while
some Of his associates In Congress, be-
cause Of his constituents. consider him a
protectionst. When he gets into his stride
as chairman of ways and means both
sides may attack him, and If they do his
road will be as rocky as the famous one
to Dublin. A straddle on the tariff is the
most frequently attempted. and yet the
most difficult. thing in our politics.
