The Enterprise has been given to
understand at the meeting of the
Progressive League last evening
Mr.. F. J. Hughes voiced his opinion
that Virginia stood in need of a
third newepaper--an "independent"
newspaper.
For the benefit of Mr.. Hughes and
any others who may be of this opin.

fully state that his paper is about

or other influence as it is possible
to make newspaper which has a
clean bill of health from financial
viewpoint. And while our personal
expressions may not at all times
cult all people, our columns have
ever been open to communications
on any point 40 long as the name
of the writer of the article was a fix.

We can further state that if GER
tain Virginians whose names we
could guess at without looking at
our books would pay what they owe
this very respectable family journal
it would assist, in a material way,
in placing US in a condition of even
more stable independence than we
find ourselves at times.

When Food Burns

With too many irons in the fire
some will burn. This old adage often
proves too true to the busy house
wife.
She has forgotten to add water to
the cooking food, and the odor of the
burning meat, vegetable or fruit re-
minds her of the fact.
When this happens, quickly seize
the pot from the range and immense
it in a vessel containing cold water.
The steam will escape from the out
side instead Of passing upward
through the food.
Place the food in another pan and
continue cooking or dress to serve.
The most critical person cannot de-
tect burnt taste in the food. This
is suggestion worth trying.

Washington, July 17.-President
Taft's campaign fund of 1908 was
the subject Of inquiry today by the
Senate committee investigating the
political war chests Of that campaign
and of Alton B. Parker four years
before.
Postmaster General Hitchcock,
chairman of the Republican commit
tee in 1908, told the senators no con-
tribution was accepted from any cor
poration and that the committee had
declined $4,000 from T. Coleman Du
Pont of Delaware because the gov.
eminent then was attacking the pow
der trust. Moreover Congress had
forbidden corporation contributions.
The total of the Republican fund
was s1,655,51S, Mr.. Hitchcock said,
and he reminded the senators that
those figures were disclosed in the
report filed at Albany in conformity
with the laws of New York.
Neither the tobacco trust nor any
of it's stockholders, that Mr.. Hitch.
cock knew of, contributed. Some
