UNDERWOOD IS GROOAnED.

1t became known here today that a
serious movement for the nomination
of Oscar w. Underwood, of Alabama,
for President has been quietly
launched by men prominent in the
Democratic party. New York city is
it's centre and, if everything is pro-
pitous, an effort will be made to send
delegation from New York to the
next Nationol Democratic Conven-
ton that will be favorable to the
chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee of the House and chief
Democratic tariff maker.
Underwood for President is not new,

but he has thus far remained in the
"favorite SON. class. No State eX-
cept Alabama was supposed to re-
gard his boom seriously. Mr.. I'm
derwood himself said when Congress

II have no hope that a man from
so far South as Alabama can yet be
nominated for President. The best
we can expect for while is the Vice
Presidency"

CONFEDERATE PENSIONS.

Editor Gazette
Your able and interesting editorial
of a few days ago, in reference to the
decrease of the already pitiful and
penurious pensions paid by Virginia
to the needy Confederate veterans
(for none other ever apply for it ex-
cept the indigent), is worthy of all
praise, and anyone suggesting such
a thing, must have soul so small
that it would have as much room in
mustard seed as a tick would have
in the Atlantic Ocean. But the fact
is, there is so much pandering now
a-days by some people who call
themselves Virginians to the BLUE
Side" that they seem to be afraid Of
doing something that may offend the
sensibilities of the Yankee. All
people of that kind should have a
"calf-skin hung upon their recreant
limbs" and in the language of the
poet in dying, GO down to the vile
dust from whence they spring, un-
wept, unhonored, and unsung."
Does it not seem strange, this
claim that the State is too poor tc
continue the present stipend to sold
iers, when it is estimated that fifteer
thousand dollars annually are SEM
out of the State to maintain foreign
missions, for the purpose of convert
ing people, the majority of whom
don't want to be converted, and IL
all probability, are far happier whel
left alone?

dent on the Democratic ticket next
year, the Danville Register protests
that the time has not come for the
retirement of this most excellent man
from the present field of his activity,
and we agree with the Register. He
has rendered a substantial service to
his State and the South and directed
the Democratic minority in the, Sem
ate with rare good judgment during
the late extraordinary session of
Congress. An untiring worker, a
strong speaker, gifted in statesman
ship and temperate in all things, he
can be of far greater use to his State
and his party and the South in his
present high place as the Democratic
leader of the Senate than he could
be in the Office of vice-president."
The above words of praise from
our North Carolina contemporary
will be very pleasing to our Virginia
readers, and we cordially endose
what the major has to sey about the
senior senator. Senator Martin is
doing much more useful work for
the country and for Virginia in his
present position than he could posi-
bly, do were he chosen vice-president.
That he would preside with dignity
and credit to himself over the DELHI
erations of the United States Senate
we have not the slightest particle of
doubt. But just at present Virginia
needs Martin and will not consent to
give him up.-Roanoke Times.

MIR. KEEZEL'S DEFEAT.

We regret very much the defeat of
the Hon. George 3. Keezell for treas
urer of Rockingham county, Va, in
the election of last Tuesday. Mr..
Keezell has been prominent in Vir-
GINA for twenty years and during
that period has served his State,
county and district creditably and
efficiently in many capacities. For
many years he served in the Senate
of Virginia and made a fine record
as conservative and sagacious
legislator. Likewise his service ON
the State Board Of Fisheries was val
liable to the State and creditable to
the man. Last year Mr.. Keezell re-
tired from the Senate to make a can
vass for the unexpired term of the
retired treasurer of Rockingham, and
this year he aspired to reelection
for a full term as treasurer Of this
large and wealthy county. In some
way he won the antagonism of the
Democratic paper in Harrisonburg,
and was soon involved in bitter
canvass, which was just eliminated
in his defeat by former Treasurer Re-
herd, a Republican. The fact that
another Democratic aspirant ran in
divided the party vote,
with the result that the Republican
won. We have nothing to say against
Mr.. Reherd, but we think the county
probably made a serious mistake in
not retaining the services of Mr.. Kee-
cell as treasurer, for he is eminently
equipped for the office.
1t is a curious commentary upon
the election in Rockingham that Mr..
Keezell, who had just succeeded in
securing a State normal school for
his county, was defeated when he
again aspired to Office. He will not
long remain in private life, however.
He is a man of too much force to be
permanently retired. Meanwhile
we trust the Democracy of Rocking
ham will get together and avoid such
division in the future. AS a result of
it the party not only lost the treas
urer, but likewise the State senator
ship and one seat in the House
Danville Register.

THE TALK OF THE DAY.

A combination Of balmy weather
uninterrupted by cold, frosty nights
and autumnal foliage Of glowing
colors was incomprehensible to a
woman who had ben taught that Jack
Frost was the painter of the reds and
yellows of the sere season. She wrote
to a sage versed in forestry and was
surprised to learn from him that frost
was not the reason for the changes in
the colors of the leaves. "The
change" he wrote, "is the result Of
their ripening, and as this is usually
co-incident with the first frost, the
icy messenger of winter is usually
credited with being the cause of the
transformation"

All the little boys and girls with

garten were invited to Franks birth
day party, and between games and
good things to eat the children were
having a fine time until one of them
said that her papa, with the accent on
the last syllable, was going to call
for her. "Why don't you say papa?"
asked the little host, pronouncing the
word in it's most simple way. Before
an answer could be given one little
fellow said: 'I call mine dad, F." and
added another pop" TO the list of
parental titles. A governess brought
the meeting to order, and then by
asking the little folks learned that
three used the French" papa, three
the English or plain" papa, one al

title dad" on his paternal ancestor
and four contented themselves with

present said that he didn't think it
made any difference what one"called

ELECTION RESULTS BOOST HAIR
MON.

OQe OIL LIE loSI uoICWSAeAJ NAS
significant results of the election last
Tuesday was the virtual elimination
of Governor Woodrow Wilson, OF
New Jersey, from the category OF
presidential probabilities, and the i'm
petus given to the presidential as
pirations of Governor Judson Har-
mon, of Ohio. AS the situation now
stands, Judge Harmon and Hon. Os-
car w. Underwood, of Alabama, are
the two men most prominently men
toned for the presidency. The fact
that New York went Republican
effectually snuffs out any prospective
presidential aspirations by any man
from that State. On the other hand,
the splendid victories in Ohio, where
the Republicans strenuously sought
to discredit Governor Harmon, argue
we'll for his presidential prospects.
All great cities Of that State returned
Democratic majorities, including MT.
Harmon's home city Of Cincinnati,
which is also President Taft's home.
Despite the fact that the President Is
an openly avowed candidate for re-
nomination and reelection and that
he injected his personality and infiu-
ence into the ofio campaign and par
ticularly into the Cincinnati situation,
his party was given signal rebuke'
and that Of Governor Harmon was
endorsed, and this to, Immediately
