The views of MI Gould are in accord with
the best public sentiment of Virginia, which in
sists that exact justice shall be done all corpo
rate interests, but demands that they shall keep
their hands off the politics OF the State We
believe It be absolutely sound doctrine that
the officials Of corporation who contribute the
funds Of such corporation for political purposes
are guilty of misapprop riationg and should be
held accountable therefor by the stockholders.
We congratulate MIR Gould on the evident pros
peri,y Of the public service corporations in Vir-
ginia in which he is interested, and feel that
hia enterprises will have the very hearty sup
port and cooperation Of our people SO long as
the policy indicated in his letter Is pursued.

pened to open the Testament, and saw some
writing the margin Calling to Murray he
said: why. Byron has written something here!"
Narrower inspection proved that the profane
wit had erased the word ''robber" in the text
and substituted that Of "pu blisher," 80 that the

RIBBONS MAY BE WASHED
And, as Most Mothers VIII Aqree.
There Is Considerable Economy
In the Plan.

When there are several schoolgirl
daughters in the family the expendi-
ture on hair ribbons becomes quite a
considerable item. Fastidious moth
ers who declare that ribbons never
look well when washed should try
the following method:
Make a mixture OF three ounces of
soft soap, three tablespoonful OF
honey, to teacupful OF gin and wa
ter
The ribbon is placed on a board and
scrubbed with the mixture. II is then
rinsed by dipping several times In
clean, cold water, and not squeezed
out. but hung over a line to drip.
then put between cloths and ironed by
drawing the ribbons from under the
iron. This prevents creasing and a
stringy appearance at finish. The iron
should be kept still with pressure up
OF 1t.
White ribbons will not turn yellow
when washed II the water is warm In
stead of hot. and the soap used a fine
white quality. Rinse In three waters,
the last being strong blue.
Hang In the sun until half dry, then
press under clean muslin with a warm
iron.

Remark by No Means Complimentary
Made by Constituent Of Repre-

Representative Underwood, chair

known as a manufacturing district"
because il contains all the factories
and smelters in and about Birming-
ham, Ala. But he also has among his
constituents lot of farmers-of which
fact he is now PAINFULLY aware.
He drove out to settlement In
Bibb county one afternoon to persuade
the farmers they ought to vote for
him. AS he stopped up to the porch
OF little store an old man rushed up
to him with the request:
Please sign this paper. It's petit
Ion to Congressman Underwood to
have a young lady postmistress here"
I'D be glad to sign It," said Under
wood politely; but as I'm not resi-
dent OF this community, my name
wouldn't help you"

assured him. Were getting every
body to sign It. strangers and all.
