A VALUABLE Wo RK

Excepting the Bible the most high
~ regarded book is the dictionary
Ever since the genius, who first re-
allied the necessity for such a work,
compiled the original it has been the
most universally used and generally
respected book of them all. There
has recently been issued by the Mer-
riam company, of Springfield, Mass,
a dictionary, Webster's New Inter-
national, which we think is the most
valuable work of it's kind that has
ever come from a press. Besides
representing the latest and most
comprehensive compilation of the
English language, it possesses in ad-
dition a number of features which
we have never before seen embod-
led in work of this kind. DR.. w.
I. Harris, late United States Com
missioner of Education, is editor-in-
chief of the new dictionary. 1t con-
tains 100000 defined words and
phrases in 1900 pages and has
5000 illustrations. 1t is in a single
volume, thus being the most prac-
teal work for general purposes. One
feature of the new publication is the
divided page, the important words
and those less important being
grouped separately, each under the
proper indeXing. For class room
use, for use in business, or for Ii
brary purposes one could hardly &C
quire more valuable work than the
New International.

THE RlcHEson CASE

Whether or not the Reverend c..
V. T. Richeson be ft IF the
murder of Miss Avis LlMn.--, he
nineteen year-old student who was
found dead in Boston of cyanide
poisoning, there seems little doubt
that the minister is type of dang
erous man. No sooner had the news
of the case been flashed across the
country than reports began to pour
in from various places, where the
minister had been located at different
time, of affairs with half a dozen
women in which he had been involv-
ed, while it also appears that at the
time he was allowing young Avis
Linnell to believe that she was his
intended wife he was preparing to
marry the daughter of a rich parish
Toner.
From his pictures in the news
papers it is easy to see that Richeson
is of the pattern that appeals to
women. In addition to his physical
attractions his calling was enough to
gain for him the confidence of the
women with whom his ministerial
duties threw him in contact. Com
bined with this was the sleek, purr-
ing, ingratiating demeanor of the
kind which long before this had be-
guiled trusting women into misery
and shame.
If Richeson is found guilty, we
hope he will receive the full penalty
of the law. If he did cOnspire, as is
charged, to murder this young girl,
after having robbed her of all that
he should have assisted her to pro-
tect, there seems no punishment too
severe to be meted out to him.

THE TARIFF

The tariff seems to the ordinary
citizen to be so far off that it hardly
fleets him, and so complicated that
he can not understand it. Let us
come down to a concrete example.
Paris retains it's old customs and
it's old walls, or barriers, and at
each gate of the city the countryman
who brings in his butter, eggs, or
vegetables pays a tariff or tax on
each of them. If a man buys doz
en- of eggs just inside the gate, he
pays one price. If he steps outside
the gate, he pays less price by the
mount of the tax, and if he brings
hat dozen eggs inside the gate he
Ways the tax. In that case, it is di
.ect tax, because the consumer pays
1t himself; but if the countryman
who brings in his dozen eggs pays
The tax, he odds the tax to the price
at which he is willing to sell his
eggs outside the wall and the con-
sumer pays the tax as part of the
purchase price of the eggs. 1t then
becomes an indirect tax. But there
is no question in Paris in anybody's
mind as to who pays that tax. 1t
is the consumer who resides within
the limits of Paris. If an automo-
bilist is going on long journey he
only puts enough petrol in his tanks
to take him outside the barrier. He
can get it cheaper outside.
The tariff in this country is GER
tainly far more remote from us than
is the tax paid at the gates of Paris
by the citizen who gets his daily sup
plies in that way, but the principle
is exactly the same.
1t is almost impossible for us to
realize the number of things in daily
and necessary use, the cost of which
is Effected directly or Indirectly by
the provisions of our tariff system.

CRIMINAL TRIALS

Some mighty odd dynamite ex-
plosions have occurred in connection
with operations where work was
done with non-union labor in mat
tiers when the Iron Workers Union
was involved. There is no question
that the explosions were brought
about for the purpose of destroying
life and property.
No explosions have taken place in
the same line where union workers
were employed.
Some one was instrumental in
producing these explosions.
Eugene Debs states that these ex-
blossoms were planned, and brought
about, and wholesale murder in
many cases committed, by the CAPT.
talist class for the purpose of dis
crediting union labor. He and those
associated with him state that it will
cost 100000 to prove that the Nc
Namara brothers had no direct con-
nection with one of these explosions.
Further comment at this stage
seems unnecessary.

AUGUSTA TAGGING BEHIND

The only feature of the great
State Fair that caused regret and
humiliation was the Augusta county
exhibit" in the large pavilion where
all the other SO counties had their
exhibits of county products. Angus
ia is the largest, wealthiest and by
far the largest producing county in
the State and yet it's exhibit was the
poorest, and along beside many OF
the smallest, and in that sense, the
most insignificant, counties it's poor
ness and insignifcance brought the
blush of shame to the cheek of many
an Augustaite who had proudly
looked it up.
Why is this so? and why could
SO proud an dgreat county as Au-
gusta permit such an injury done
it's resources? Of course there were
quite a number of individual exhib-
s. made by Augusta people, in sepa-
rate departments but the idea of a
county's Importance and resources
gathered largely from what may be
called the official exhibit, in the
place provided specially for counties
as a whole.
We have often felt that Augusta
county was too negligent and indif-
ferent to such opportunities as these
to get fair idea of the wealth and
resources of the county and it's de-
STABILITY and advantages we have to
offer before the outside world. We
are losing money and prestige annu-
ally by neglecting our opportunities
along these lines. Members of much
smaller counties, such as Orange,
Culpeper, Faquier and others are
holding their fairs and horse shows
right along every year and by these
means are advertising their advant-
ages and attracting outside people
with means to make investments.
Staunton and Augusta county, up to
a few years ago, had splendid fair
grounds, splendidly equipped and at
tracted people to our county every
year. Now we have nothing. The
grounds and equipments have been
sold, we understand, and there is no
place, should the people desire to re-
turn to these enterprises. We have
often wondered why that property
should have been so altogether lost
to Staunton and Augusta? We can
but regard it as a shame and re-
proach.
We are publishing this week no
tice of an Indoor Fair" at Staunton
which some enterprising and praise
worthy people are endeavoring to
promote. We express the hope that
our South River and Waynesboro
people will at least take some inter
est in this enterprise and perhaps it
may prove a foundation upon which
we can build something bigger and
better for the future. We trust the
management of this enterprise will
take occasion to discuss this matter
at the present exhibit and take what
steps they can to enlarge and extend
the enterprise. We are quite sure
Waynesboro and South River will
gladly help all we can.-Valley Vir-
ginian.

VETERANS VOTE
FOR FIRST TIME
New State of Arizona Holds Its
First Primary Yesterday

Phoenix, Ariz., Oct. 24.-Men who
have lived from youth to old age in
Arizona, some of them having resid-
ed in the Territory for nearly half
a century, went to the polls today
and for the first time in their lives
expressed by ballot their choice for
governor and other executive, judi
cial and legislative officials. The
occasion was the general primaries
for the nomination of candidates to
be voted for at the first State cleo
ton in Arizona, which is to be held
in December. New Mexico, which
was admitted to Statehood at the
same time Arizona, held to the con-
vention plan of nominations, but Ari-
IONA adopted the direct primary sys-
tenn and put it into operation for the
first time today. Owing to the large
eXpanse of territory covered by the
new State and the remote locations
of many of the communities the err
suits OF the primary elections may
not be definitely known until late to-
morrow.
A heavy vote reported in Phoenix
and in other of the chief cities gives
evidence of the keen interest the peo-
pie of the new State are taking in
their first effort at self-government.
The citizens of Arizona have always
elected their own county officers and
their legislator but the President has
named the governor and other execu-
tive officials, including the judiciary,
and Congress has always had veto
enactments.

HOW TO BECOME HONEST

A prominent religious journal at
tempts to encourage and instruct a
business man who said he was in
clined to be honest and straight with
his customers, but found it impos-
sible, because people are fooled
everywhere, so they have to be fool
ed at my store too" The advice is
given to stand straight up in the
strength of a square manhood, to
know that honesty is something to
have-a superlative possession, to
practice in dependent, stalwart hold
ing on to ones own moral standing
ground, and know that he will have
to square accounts with the Judge of
all the earth. Now that is the
worlds way of making men honest,
but it is not the Christian way. A
we'll known writer says of some ex-
treme types of English Puritanism
that, "the reformation which it
wrought was only external. Mems
manners were coerced but, their
hearts were unchanged. Then the
Christian basis of character is an
.nounced: Nothing makes a new
man but a new heart. 1t Is like
wedding a garden; it is not enough
that the weeds be shorn, they must
be eradicated. Mere reformation is
temporary, regeneration alone en-
dures. The principle is that the
heart must have a tenant and it
avai1s nothing to drive out the I'M
clean spirit, unless the Holy Spirit
be admitted in his room. The house
may be swept and garnished" but
as long as it is empty" it is open
to the reinvasion of it's old tenant.
Let Jesus into your heart and his
presence will fortify it. 1t is all ex-
pressed in DR.. Chalmers phrase,
''The expulsive power of a new af-
lection" Once you have tasted the
best you have no liking for anything
Inferior"
Worldly morality says, 'Be honest
for honesty's sake, for the sake of
self-respect." The appeal is insult
ficent, SO long as the house is empty,
though it be swept and garnished, it
Is open to the return of the unclean
spirit of coveteousness. When that
spirit returns with seven spirits more
wicked than himself and enters in
and dwells there, it is vain to talk
about standing straight up in the
strength of square manhood and

was wounded early today by Manuel
Garcia, stableman. Miss QueZan-
da had reprimanded him for riding
her thoroughbred horse without per-

aiming his revolver. Garcia escaped
and a posse started in pursuit.
