TO LIGHT THE WAY
Thomas Hogshead Will String
Electrics Along the Road

Crystal Spring Stock Farm, the
beautiful country place of Mr.. Thos.
Hogshead, already one of the most
up-to-date farm properties in this
section, is to be still further improv-

city current to be transmitted over a

it's, has its own gravity water system
and is altogether an ideal country

house and grounds, in addition to
other city comforts, it will be about
as modernly equipped as farm can
possibly be.

WOMAN SPEAKS
Compliments For Local News
Writer From Association

One of the features of the annual
meeting of the Virginia Press Asso-
citation at Natural Bridge was the
address of Mrs. E. w. Bissell of
Staunton. Her subject was woman
journalism" and her efforts won the
highest praise from the members of
the association.
In beginning Mrs. Bisell said she
wished it to be understood clearly
that she was not suffragette "for
while l am an advocate of woman's
rights to the extent of a woman re-
ceiving the same salary when she can
fill position usually filled by a man,
l hope most sincerely l shall never
see the day when the woman of this
dear old Commonwealth shall go to
the polls to vote"
Major J. C. Hemphill, editor-in-
chief of the Richmond Times-Dis-
patch, in reporting the meeting for
his paper had this to say of Mrs. Bis
sell and her address:
Mrs. Bissell has been a reporter,
the only reporter on morning daily,
and has therefore taken note of
everything from police reporting to
specializing in political campaign
work, and she paid high tribute to
the people of her community, where
she declared there is the feeling
that lady is lady as long as she
behaves herself as one. II have
never hesitated to go anywhere when
occasion arose for story, and / have
always received courteous treat
ment, she declared. 'There is real
ly no reason why newspaper should
not be decent in its news service as
we'll as in the expression of it's opin-
ions. We all realize" said Mrs. Bis
sell, that the press is molder OF
public opinion, and should realize
the tremendous responsibility which
rests upon u.s."

Kill More Than Wild Beasts.

The number of people killed yearly
by wild beasts don't approach the vast
number killed by disease germs. No
life is safe from their attacks. They're
in air, water, dust, even food. But
grand protection is afforded by Electric
Bitters, which destroy and expel these
deadly germs from the system. That's
why chills, fever and ague, all mala-
rial and many blood diseases yield
promptly to this wonderful blood
purify. Try them, and enjoy the
glorious health and new strength
they'll give you. Money back, if not
satisfied. Only soc at B. F. Hughes.

TREATIES As PEAcEKEEPERs.

Mr. Roosevelt has Deen Opposing
the proposed arbitration treaties
which Mr.. Taft has brought forward.
Apparently the main reason for his
opposion is the fact that they have
been suggested by Mr.. Taft, and, and
that Mr.. Roosevelt cannot claim them
as my policies" for the reason he
brings forward are childlike when
they are not barbarous.
Mr.. Roosevelt reveals the queer
combination Of savagery and civili-
cation that makes up his character.
He maintains that an agreement to
arbitrate differences between nations
will not have any effect on keeping
either side from violating the agree
ment at any time it may see fit and
as, every nation is sovereign, a writ
ten document will not restrain
power from plunging into war re-
gardless of it's pledged truth.
Is this true? 1t is a terribles ar
raignment of the human race, civiliz-
ed or savage, if it be SO.
The treaty made between William
Penn and the Indians did much to
prevent the atrocities of border war
fare in the early days of Pennsyl-
vania and if the plighted oath re-
strained the American savage is it
expecting too much to hope that the
civilized man of America will be re-
trained bFit?
When Mr.. Roosevelt declares to
the contrary, let us hope that he
means that it would not restrain
him and that he holds no proxy for
the American people.
His statement is equivalent to say
ing that the law has no weight with
our people in restraining the pas
sions of man with man, which, how
ever true as regards Mr.. Roosevelt
personally, is not true of the masses
of the people.
In his recent speech at Marion,
Mr.. Taft demolished this argument
He compared the arbitration treaties
to the constitution. He stated that
the power of the people was uncheck-
ed and unlimited but by adopting the
constitution, the people voluntarily
put checks and limits on that power
and the methods by which it is to
be exercised.
By this is not meant that tempta-
lions do not arise to violate these
limitations, that at times they may
not be violated; but the temptations
are more easily conquered and the
violations are much less frequent
than If the restraints did not exist.
The heat of passion may for while
or under stress of peculiar circum-
stances, lead to lynch law instead of
systematized law, but that is no rea-
son for abolishing the constitution
or repeating the acts of the legisla-
ture.
The arbitration treaties will have
a tremendous moral effect. The
sympathies of the world are alienat-
ed from the nation that deliberately
violates its sworn agreements, and
one SO doing becomes an outlaw
among the family of nations. This
ts position in which few countries
care to be placed, and it will be a
great deterrent to rash action.
For a man like Mr.. Roosevelt, who
cares for none of these things and
who breaks through any laws that
stand in his way, such considerations
have no weight, but with the moral,
sane man they will tend toward
bringing Peace on earth; goodwill
toward man."
