Or. C, E. Ewing is quite a far
mer. To prove this he has been
doing some experimental work in
his garden surrounding his home
in the north part of town. Last
evening he had Ralph Stubble-
field out with a turnip which the
doctor had grown in his garden
showing it around town. OF
course the doctor would not ad-
nit that he had sent Ralph out,
but conclusions are easily drawn.
We must say, though, that the
turnips were fine and the doctor
need not be ashamed of them
In fact his whole garden IS 9
dandy. It proves what can be
done on a small spot Of ground
and with a little work.

Editor Morning Journal

Editor Morning Journal;
Iii Saturdays issue of your
paper, appeared a despalring cry
for help to chop weeds in the Es-
tancia valley and incidentally
harvest a crop that is yet some
two months from maturity. The
appeal would be amusing to one,
familiar with conditions here,
were it not for the pathos that
might attach to il if q band OF
our unemployed fellowmen should
respond to the call and find the
fowery labor conditions dis
appointing. We have various
grades Of farmers here. The
most common is he who, two or
three years ago scratched his
land with a plow average depth
three to four inches, and, who
annually as seed times comes
around, gets seated on some sort
Of a planter, and punctures the
earth here and there with a few
seeds, and henceforth returns to
his apparent true vocation, that
.of warming the nails in the side
walks Of the country towns and
stores where bumper crops are
raised. He waits to see il its
going to rain, as its no use chop
ping weeds If he isn't going to
have a crop, then when the rains
/ come and the weeds, (being the
stronger( ! shoot up, comes that
cry equaned only by that Of an
cient Macedonia.
The other farmer is he who
single-handed tackles from forty
to a hundred acres, ploughs deep
every year, and cultivates inces-
sanity, even when the despair IN
his heart says it's all off. But
note the contrast between the
two methods, also the contrast
between the two men, when the
rains come. Instead OF weeds,
| it's the crops that shoot up. And
is that a despairing cry for helE
we hear; no sir, that's the shout
of one who has conquered
and who may yet, with modern
methods, grit and energy, make
the Estancia valley a farming

MAY Be INDUCED
TO ENTER R ACE
Royal Cabell Suggested as Next
Republican Gubernatorial
Candidate.
Especial to The Times-Dispatch.l

lSpeCidl 10 Times
Washington. October 22.-When IL
was announced in The Times Dispatch
several days ago that Royal Cabell,
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
probably would depose Alvah II. Mar
tin as national committeeman from
Virginia and take active charge of the
Taft campaign in Virginia, those In
Washington who arc familiar with
Republican politics in Virginia did not
take long to como 10 the conclusion
that the original plan of having Mr..
Caben succeed Alvah Martin as ma
tional committeeman would At in with
the gubernatorial aspirations OF the
former excellently.
Last year. when 1t as limited that
President Taft and other Republicans
would like TO have Mr.. Cabell make
the race for Governor OF the Old Do
minion. and make a fight that would
be worth while, Mr.. Cabell did not like
the story when he heard 1t. He would
neither affirm nor deny It, but passed
1t off with a seductive smile. How
ever, 1t was believed then that there
was something in It, Mr.. Cabell has
made an excellent official since he left
the Richmond post-office and came
here. and 1t is undoubtedly true that
President Taft Will make further use
OF his services.
1t is easy to see that II Mr.. Cabell
should take the place of national COM
mitteeman. manage the Taft campaign.
In the event the latter receives the
nomination again. and generally show
good managerial ability, It will be the
most natural thing for him to receive
further Endorsement at the hands of
the administration. and 1T could not
more effectively be done than by maxi
ing II known that he would get the
administrations help in the race.
Mr.. Caben would no doubt be glad
TO make the fight according to what Is
said here. because It would give him a
good boost, raise him high in the eyes
Of the President. and put him In line
for something better in the future
possibly a Cabinet position-if the
President should ever decide to give
a Virsinian such place.
But Mr.. Caben will not talk about
the matter. and until there is meet
ing OF the Virginia G. o. P. nothing
can be definitely learned as to what
may be done. Representative Slemp
is keeping quiet concerning contests
behind the party lines. and has little
to say either one way or the other.
Realizing that 1t will be a fight to the
finish TO retain his seat in tine House
hereafter. he Is saying little and at
tending squarely to his own interests.

Tor Tuesday evening. When the pro
gram for the conferences was prepar-
ed, 1t was expected that President Taft,

church, would speak on International
peace, and it is not unlikely that the
President Will send a communication
to the conference. Addresses at this
meeting Will be made by the Rev. Ed
ward Cummins, OF Boston; Rev Jenkin
Lloyd Jones, Chicago. and Rev. VIII
liam c. Gannett, OF Rochester. n. Y.

1t appears that there is a reasonable
explanation. however, and one that
does not in any way diminish the at
Effectiveness of a sailors life. As
might be suspected. there is "a woman
in the case" or rather several women
for it turns out that most of the young
men who have transferred to the army
are anxious to marry and to take their
brides with them TO the army post
where they will be stationed. OF course
they could marry if they remained in
the navy. but in that case they would
not be able to enjoy the company of
their wives for periods of three years
al a time, and meanwhile they would
be Obliged to maintain two establish
ments. and as the majority of these
young men are not wealthy. the finan-
cial consideration is very important.
