Charles E. Small, former resident of this
town. but who now lives in SwanviIle, has
been at work at his trade as painter, with
the usual side lines, for several months. He
recently lost his horse-thirty- three years old,
and which had done quite good work the past
season. There are probably more real old
horses in the country than we realize, as
their exact age is lost in change of owners.
The citizens of Brooks, and we believe of
Waldo county. will gladly endorse the candi-
dacy of Hon. E. C. Burleigh for U. S. Senator.
His intelligence and ability, his fidelity to
principle. his courtesy to his constituents, his
willingness to attend to their requests, his long
experience in public life, his intimate acquaint-
ance with the methods of procedure in public
affairs in Washington. make him an ideal can
didate.
Mr.. Walter H. Young of the firm of Young,
Cox & Payson had a birthday recently and his
wife and some few immediate friends made up
a nice little reception for him. He was some-
what dazed at first by the unexpected atten-
ton, but quickly recovered and made good as
the Subject" of the occasion. The fact is
"Wallie" is not SO old yet that birthdays have
become stale with him, land SO he enjoyed being
"coddled" and "cuddled" and made of like
some sweet little four year-old, and you can
just bet that he rose to the occasion and that
everybody had the best time that ever was.

CRIMINAL AUTOMOBIILNG.

Reckless use Of automobiles in Richmond

of the car and left fainting the streets
BY it's inhuman occupants whose negligence
put his life in danger
II is things like these that avail to keep
alive prejudice against the automobile which
would otherwise have long since died out
with custom. At the best. automobiles are
nothing more than engines turned loose in
the ways of public. traffic. The advance that
has been made in their ease OF control and
OF management has made this possible. but
it also seems to operate as temptation to
an utterly criminal disregard OF the rights OF
al. sorts of traffic. The effect OF such use
o. these powerful machines can result only
IN restrictions and penalties which will do
much to hamper and delay the development
which the automobile vehicle for both
pleasure and business can otherwise logically
expect.
OF the n1en who LEFT the latest automobile
victim to lie unconscious from his wounds.
the least said in denunciation the better.
Their action, better than any words shows
conelusiyely their criminal negligence. Such
individuals are both careless of the lives OF
others and unconscious OF their own honor.
The only hope is that they may be app>e-
hended aud that the aggravation Of their Of
tense may carry with it the fullest penalty OF
tie law
BY virtue of sound legal principle, operat-
ing Incidentally 10 save the guilty. 1t is now
established that the statutes passed in some
States, which made it u felony for one in an
automobile to away after an accident
are unconstitutional To SO require Is prac-
tically to demand that the guilty party pro-
vide evidence against himself Although this
is true, the average man who runs an auto
mobile is one to whom q jail sentence Is
well-nigh as fearful as a sentence OF death.
IL the Richmond police do manage to identify
the individuals who ran down Mr.. Reuhrmund
and left him to his fate. the people OF the
city will be satisfied with nothing less than
the seyerest sentence OF Imprisonment which
the law will sustain.

Democratic party. The very logic which de-
mands that the Ninth be Democratic brings
upon the district force OF influence. a des-
to the Democracy a matter which hangs on
the issue Of what will DO virtually revolution.
For all that, We believe that events have SO
shaped themselves that a solid Democratic
representation from Virginia Is again a pos
sibility. We believe that campaign which
shall be prosecuted from tho start and waged
to the finish will this year carry victory With
1t. The Ninth district has known the mcanest
brand of politics with which the state Is IA
mliar. Hon. Rufus A. Ayers. who has been
unanimously nominated, accepts the trust
with the statement that, so far as he is con-
cerned, they shall henceforth be clean. on
ali issues which could have been raised in a
doubtful district. this is the one which by the
very virtue Of It's simplicity is the strongest.
We hope that the announcement of the can
ddate will find a unanimous Democracy be-
hind II. 1t is. as he says. a matter Of prin-
ciple and not OF dollars. 1t Is a matter OF
conviction and not of debauchery Il is a
matter of reason against cajolery. OF the per-
suasion OF logic against that of vhiskey. OF
manhood against tho insidious forms of serf-
dom
Whenever a contest such as this is naugu-
rated and fought out without quarter. 1t gen.
orally happens that the side that fights for a
faith In human nature finds majority for
ts following. A faith in tho voters OF the
Ninth district as a whole makes us optimistic
regarding what may look at the moment to be
a forlorn hope. If former Attorney General
Ayers shall only have behind him the en-
thusiasm and the energy which his platform
of pure politics deserves. he will find in No
vember that he has accomplished the seem
ingly impossible.
The role of prophet is difficult and beset
with thorns. At the same time there are
signs which go to reduce prophecy from the
realm Of vision to that of deduction. All the
signs point to this q Democratic year. The
indications for a Ievusion of feeling such

believe that the timidity with respect to the

that is gathering to sweep the country will

DOUBLE-EDGED TECHNICAILTIES.

There are generally two sides to every moot
question. In the matter of criminal prose-
cutions one most evident side has been the
appreciation that justice halted and threw
up its hands before technically. From in
dictment onward the course of the effort to

game wherein the State attempts to avoid the
maze OF pitfalls with which the law has sur
rounded the course it must follow. Each one

letting the guilty escape. condemns he inno-
cent to Imprisonment. 1t is poor rule, as
We said. that will not work two ways and

ed because court cannot find the law to
square with his release has anyway the
pleasure OF knowing that at least ten guilty
men are still pursuing the path at liberty.
