Aliens or Horses

Editor of The Virginian
spirited horse not thoroughly trained is
being worked by nervous, determined, mid
dle-aged man. The horse is beauty, run
ming over with life; and while he is supposed
to be working slowly along like an old horse,
II is plain to be seen that he is thinking of the
pasture-not for the food, but for the free
dom of running and kicking up his heels, to
stand and snort, then run again. In fact he
is life; and 1t would seem that it would make
one feel young just to such life. But his
owner is probably rheumatic and dyspeptic
and has apparently forgot his rompng colt
hood days. for he storms at and clashes this
mettlesome animal when he does little high
stepping, sidesteppng turns mischievous
eye towards him. Does he know how beau
tiful he is? Is that the reason he does not
stop his graceful movements in spite of his
owners storms and slashes? Or is il Just his
God-giyen life?
The man has lost a goodly part of his life,
or he would not be so nervous and impatient
with such beautiful and gentle. though lively,
animal. He finally becomes SO impatient that
he jerks and slashes so hard that he draws

Mr.. Roosevelt because he opposes tariff rev

Mr.. Roosevelt because he opposes tariff revi-
sion downward.
In view OF the fact that but for the high
tariff. which aids in the exploitation Of the
American people for the benefit of men like
Mr.. Munsey. it is not surprising that he should
oppose any reduction, but it is rather strange
that to maintain the rates as they now are
he should support Mr.. Roosevelt, whose party
platform declares for substantial reduction,
and oppose President Taft, who has often de-
elared his satisfaction with the Payne-Ald-
rich tariff bill. and has vetoed the various
tariff revision measures put through the house
and senate by Democrats and protectionists.
Sor supporting Roosevelt when he believes
in high protection the stakeholder in various
interlockng corporations must have a motive,
unless he be ignorant of the contents of the
tariff plank of the Progressive party. To IA
vor one policy above all others and at the
same time support the man who professedy
opposes that policy is rather surprising at
ttude even for Mr.. Munsey to take. The ex-
PLANTATION of ignorance may be eliminated
Remains. therefore, but one other, to-wit: Mr..
Munsey does not believe in the protestations
q the Progressive party in this matter, and
does not believe that Mr.. Roosevelt has any
idea of attempting to adhere to the tariff pol
icy outlined in his platform.
1t bad break that Mr.. Munsey made
He should allow all confessions OF faith TO be
made by his co-worker, Colonel Roosevelt
and eonfne himself to discussion to the
ghyness of bosses.

STILL HOLD GOOD.

Eight years ago Colonel Roosevelt said:
THE wise custom which limits the Presi-
dent to two terms regards the substance and
not the form, and under no circumstances
will be a candidate for or accept another
nomination"
Five years ago Colonel Roosevelt says:
II have not changed and shall not change
that decision thus announced"
Though repudiated by the author, these
two statements still hold true, with the differ
ence that now they are said by the people of
the United States.

CURRENT COMMENT
\ Striking Contrast,

In no respect more forclbly than IN his
lofty plane OF dspassionate and impersonal
discussion of the issues OF the campaign, does
trast between himself and Mr.. Roosevelt Willie
the ex-presdent denounces, storms and RACES
at his enemies. Wilson is calmly presenting
the truth as he sees ii; and urging the public
to study, understand and earnestly consider
the vital questions NOW confronting the Aftefi-
can government. He calls nobody ugly names
He treats those who oppose his view as men
motives TO neither OF his opponents. Roo5e-
Welt upon the other hand. affirms that all who
are not with him are the side of crooked
business; that the only way in which they
can deserve the status OF right thinking is
through the door that leads to the Progress
i've party. that professor Wilson Is a mere
doctrnaire, applying schoolroom theories to
the grave problems Of government that TAFT
is the conscious beneficiary OF political theft
surrounded by thieves-and that no honest
man can defend his title to the Republican
presidential nomination. AS in looking-gass
therefore. these two men--Wilson and Roose-
velt-may be seen--the one serene, the other
tempestuous the tolerant the other
attempting to lead public opinion along lines
of honest conscientious thought; the other
seeking to influence and becloud the vision OF
the people by appeals to prejudices AMI pas
sion 1t ought to go without saying, indeed
il may GO without saying, that the American
electorate is not indifferent to the wide yari-
ance in poise and dignity and coherency and
undisturbed unrufhed judgment. as is thus
being shown to exist between the Democratic
and Bull Moose presidential eandidates.--Lyn-

SHOULD BE AMENDED.

The Fourth congressional district primary
has called attention sharply 10 one great fault
With the Byrd primary law. which the next
legislature should remedy without fail, name
Ii. the danger OF negro participation in Dem
ocratic primaries
Attorney General Williams has given it as
his opinion that the party primary plan which
prphioits negroes from voting in the prima-
rscx has not been changed hy any authorita-
Tive action OF the party or by The Byrd law.
This opinion. however, is unofficial. and there
IL grave doubt of its correctness in so far as
Ii applies TO the Byrd law 1t is undoubtedly
true that the party primary plan has not been
changed by any authoritative action, but,
then. the Democratic committee has not as
yet com pleted it's work Of conforming its party
pIan 10 the Byrd law That Law, i'm stating
who can and who cannot vote in primary cleo
fions of any party, gives the right TO vote IN
any party primary TO ali who voted that par

| or TO all who did not vote at all, provided
that The voter promises to support the party
ticket in the ensuing general election No
mention is made of white or of black, the sec
ticn including all qualified voters OF course
those who did not vote at the preceding gen
eral election and who promise 10 support the
marty ticket. cannot participate in any party
primary if they are not qualified voters of the
state Otherwise there no restrictions
save those mentioned

The real danger is there. and in other primary
elections it's threats may be carried out
when negro domination threatened thf
state of Virginia the white people felt justi-
fed in preventing the negroes from voting by
all means within their power. and when this
VAS impossible fraud was practced by the
best of men with clear conscience. These
practices however. could not but have their
effect on the moral tone OF the communities,
ard il proved no difficult transition from
stealing the negro vote to stealing the white
mans vote. To eliminate this danger the
constitutional convention of 1901 disfran-
ehised the great body Of negroes, forever maxi
Ing unnecessary as the members Of the con
fsntion thought the of fraud or force in
elections. The Byrd law, according to our
construction of it and according TO the con
struction placed upon II by most people, re-
wives the danger. BY allowing negroes the
right 10 vote in Democratic primaries the
trouble is deliberately Rugged to our bosoms,

Passing of ULYSSES.

Kansas City man said he always preferred
red headed office boys to any other kind, as
he had found them to be unusually sagacious
and alert, but he discovered recently that some
them are too much so, so says the Kansas
City Star:
One day, returning from short out-of-
town trip he went to his office and mentioned
interrogatively that Ulysses, his promising
assistant. was nowhere in sight and the ste
nographer replied that he had not shown up
Lifting up the last mail on his desk he
found note addressed to him in a very famil-
lar, broad. vertical handwriting.
Dear Mr. Cross" he said please accept
my resignation to take effect yesterday I got

The Danyille Register says there probably

of Henry c. Stuart to the goyernorship The
Index-Appeal and the Danvile Register most
generally" agree. But what is the matter
with friend on the Dan? Does it not
admit that it sounds absurd to say that
certain man is assured of the nomination when
the man who will oppose him came within
very few thousand votes of gaining the
nomination three years ago? Mr.. Stuart never
has made the race for the nomination. 1t is
the rule in Virginia TO require the man who
would be chief executive of the State to
dergo the discipline of defeat at least once.

be good Democrats who say there was reason
to doubt whether the published returns from
