The editor sits in his easy chair.
Awaiting the dollars to come,
His force has quit,
His rent is due.
And his credit Is on the bum.
o, Lord How long will the battle last?
How long will we have to wait
For subscriptions due?
From your neighbor and you.
Which for years have been charged on his
slate?
Don't your conscience prick Just little bltS
Don't your heart a warning tellP
When you see his face,
And hear his voice
Like the wall OF soul In hell.
Don't you see his babies. shabby and cold,
Their faces plnched and blueP
When they might be warm;
Well fed-well clad,
With money that's due from you.
o, Godl Up there In your realms Of light;
In Justice and love arrayed,
Don't let the delinquent
Pass the gate,
Until his subscriptions paid.

Seven Good Roads Commandments
For Road Makers

tanning the following good sroads
conmandsnts by Joseph Hyde
Pratt:
l. Don't ill up the holes and ruts
in the dirt roads with brush. with
rock on top; and a little dirt to
cover the rock; but fill up the hole
with dirt OF the same character as
the balance Of the read.
2. Don't throw all the refuse from
the bitches into the middle Of the
road; thus softening the surface and
destroying the solid, firm bed that
you have obtained by previous
work; but throw this material out on
the opposite side of the ditch.
3. Don't leave the center Of the
road the lowest point; but Omske IL
the highest and give the surface of
he road a slope of about L in 90 TO
he side ditch.
4. Don't carry the water across
the surface of the road from one side
70 the other; but carry it by means

D. Don't have grades on your road
over 4 Is per cent; for if you do, it
will be necessary To build V-shaped
surface bitches or 'rhank-you-
mans" across the road.
3. Dsn't In working out the labor
tax on the road, try to make a hcli

and a few tools which often are not

but use it constantly, for it is the
most efficient road machine that we
can use in maintaining the dirt road

$1.W PER YEAR
DRINKING FORBIDDEN
At STATE UNIVERSITY
President Alderman Places Ban q,
Transgressors

by announcing a resolution OF thu
faculty OF the University of Virgin.
Ia, threatening expulsion from col
iege OF any student indulgipg in
alcoholic drinks, by forbiddinp tho
holding OF "soirees" and by dealing
with the fraternity problem, Presi-
dent Edwin A. Alderman created A
thrill OF excitementthat spread over
the Virginia campus as tbe frs,
student hour" Of the year held
last week at the University.
President Alderman opened thu
discussion Of drinking at the assem-
bled meeting Of nearly all of tbe
Virginia students by DENYING tbe
ruuor that had reached his ears
that drinking was winked al bv
the faculty." He said:
There is certain Chicago man
who thinks colleges are wicked
places, and has gotten together a
set of lies and fake statements
about drinking. 1 doubt whether
re has done any good at all unless
be has set the college men to think
ing. Drinking and drunkenness are
among the barbaric vices that get
themselves into the life OF every
group. There has been a rule
against drinking at Virginia, but it
fell into abeyance because il could
not be enforced. II must be the
student opinion that wipes out the
excuses in their life. The drink
habit is no longer tolerated in the
civilized world, whether it be
among railroad employees or in the
business mans world.
Hereafter drunkenness is for
hidden at Virginia. with the pun
ishment of dismissal. Disturbance
or disorder will not be tolerated.
All organized drinking parties, com.
monty known as soirees,' and all
indulgence in alcoholic drinks il
forbidden, and the violation means
the suspension OF all concerned.
We've seen the end OF it,"
In speaking OF the fraternity Pres
Ident Alderman dealt lightly. His
point was that the fraternity must
not be placed above the college, but
should serve only as a home for the
students. All those who oppose
traternities are unwise. Fraterni-
ties do twenty times as much good
as harm. During the past twenty.
hive years the fraternities have
reached colossal power-great in
physical wealth, social influence and
academic achievement"

VETS CLAIM TO HAVE
MAJORITY IN SENATE
Saloon Men Figure twenty-five
Against Submission
CLAIM is DISPUTED BY DRYS
Interesting Speculation of Probable
Lineup

Lineup
The Richmond Journal few days
ago published the following article
on the probable temperance com.
plexion OF the incoming General
Assembly:
Whatever may be the views en-
tertained by the white ribbon folk
as to the temperance complexion OF
the next Senate, 1t appears that the
liquor men OF this city seem pretty
confident that that body will not
vote for a referendum act at the next
session OF the Legislature.
Since Tuesday S election the lists
OF winning men have been studied
more or less carefully, especially in
view OF the surprises that resulted
from some OF the contests at the
polls, and among many Of the whis-
key people the conclusion has been
reached that the Senate, from their
viewpoint, is safe
They admit, however, that they
are still in doubt as to the purposes
OF some OF the new members, and
that their estimates at pres ent can
not be reduced to mathematical Ger.
tainty.
Prior to the primary OF August
9TH the liquor folk were qui vering
in their boots. They couldn't count
for certain on more than eighteen OF
the candidates. But after the pri-
mary they breathed a little more
easy.
That election added two or three
more prospective mem bers to their
wavering column. And since the
general election OF Tuesday. which
developed unlocked for results in
several districts, the liquor people
have breathed long-drawn sigh Of
relief.
Today they roughly estimate
that about twenty five of the forty
members OF the upper branch
stand for local option as against
Statewide prohibition or the refer
endum act.
In one or two districts, where
the party usually dominant went
down in defeat, there is still doubt
AS to how the successful man will
vote. But after allowing the tenn.
perance element the benefit of the

the enemies OF State wide have rath.
er the best of the situation.
1T should be stated, however.
that the temperance people, if dis
appointed in the way the election
turned out. are certainty not indi-
eating it by words or actions. On
the contrary, several OF their lead
ers have been heard to express sat-
isfaction at the outlook.

body is with the white ribbons. The
Senate unquestionably presents the
crux OF the situation. 1t is there,
that Statewide will sink or swim.

its members-a twenty to twenty

CHARACTER OF GEN. LEE

A Northern Writer Paws Tribute in
Atlantic Monthly

GsmalIel Bradford. Jr.. who has,
In a series of papers in the Allan
tic Monthly, paid such high tribute,
and discriminating tribute, TO the
character OF General Lee as never

Northern man, and in some respects
from that of few Southern men, con-
tributes an article on Lee After

Quarterly. Towards tho close of
tho article Mr.. Bradford quotes
what he terms this profou ndly

later letters-'Life is indeed glid-

Then the writer asks: IF he had

comments as follows: Yet, IN spite

Who shall say just how far that ele-
ment OF success entered into their

A striking comparison instinct with
food for reflection those words pres
emit.
And again: America In the
