A BIAS THE CAT.

Mere man may become reconciied TO the
inevitable success of woman's suffrage In this
country in time IL he is assured that Mrs
Carrie Chapman Gait is not speaking with au-
thority when she says that women must quit
wearing corsets pretty hobble skirts and other
modern garments. II the women are deter
mined to vote they are going to vote and we
expect that Is all there is to that Man will
welcome the day 1t is proven a good thing for
the country or he will bear the afniction as
best he may as he has borne other africtions
since the time OF Eve, should 1t prove failure
but the line must be drawn somewhere Men
cry aloud at the vagaries OF fashion and affect
tn scorn the feminine weakness which makes
women its slaves. but he would be the first
to protest against change. Women may grow
more useful day by day and with the acquisi-
tion of the ballot may perform all the wonders
OF reform that they promise US, but II they
deliberately seek to lessen their beauty and
Iastraetiveness propoFtienalIy with the increase
in their usefulness we are willing to ioin
others In going to extremes to prevent them
from having the ballot. There now.

Editor Richmond Virginlan:
to reply to the letter of Messrs. r. e. w. Good
win and j. T. Wood In your issue OF December
10th. 1t not my desire intention to mis-
represent the size of the attendance of the I'M
manuel Baptist church Sunday night Deem
Der ist and since my remarks were thus con-
strued. am sorry, and hasten to assure you that
reflection or discredit to this church or its
membership is felt intended. glad that
Mr.. Wood could look upon the attendance Of
that occasion as large, but from my viewpoint, by
way of comparison with the number who heard
Judge Rutherford and Mr. Cook at Lubin the
alter, the attendance at this church seemed small
TO me. In conclusion call special attention to
the fact that this controversy was not precipi-
tated by me any of congregation, but was
instigated by their pastor, Mr.. Hoge, at East
End Baptist church about the last Sunday night
III October, and at which place the papers re-
ported him as saying. "he would pay his re-
spects to Pastor Russell from his own pulpit the
following Sunday night and ne has contin-
ued to do every Sunday night since. 1 will
not here reiterate the personalities he has in
matter.
thus reluctantly drawn into IT by q
keen sense of duty and loyalty to what / deem
truth and righteousness.

A DEFICIT WEEK.

One result of the increased pension outlay
has been to make the first week in December
a deficit week at the United States treasury.
The outgo was larger by s3,927,027.73 than
the income. disposition to fasten the blame
on the Panama canal is checked by an ex-
animation of the figures which show that
the canal took but s51,9731s. while pensions
took ss,7s0,0oo The army managed with
$4,242, 1000 and the navy with s1,s2s,s56.72.
OF the revenue for the week $6,324, 613.46
came from the tariff and s7.331.47s.76 from
the internal revenue taxes. The rate of in
ternal revenue taxation Is smaller than the
tariff rates and levied on fewer articles, but
then the government gets all the internal reve-
nue., while the manufacturers get the lions
share of the taxes on imports. A mere $24,-
S5941 came from the corporation tax.
The present week began with balance of
s146,01s,392.os in the general fund and a
working balance of ss4.46o,5s0 in the treas
ury office. ~A

Editor The Virginian:
Sr.--In view OF the strides Virginia IN tall
ing In agricultural education today, 1t is inter
esting to contrast her present condition with
that OF rs years ago, as expressed by George
Warrington in letter written to Arthur Young.
In England:
Before I undertake to give the informal ton
you request, respecting the arrangement of
farmE In this neighborhood etc, must observe
that there 10, perhaps. scarcely any part Of
America where farming has been less attended
to than in this State tvirginia). The culti-
walton Ut tobacco has been almost the sole object
with men OF landed property. and conseo uently

view. Tho general custom has BEEN first to

the mode Of cultivation. 10 good preparation

ETC., and the tops and blades of Indian corn; as
very few people have attended to sowing
grasses. and connecting cattle with their crops.
The Indian corn Is the chief support of the la
oorers and horses. Our lands as / mentioned
In my first letter to you, were originally very
good; but use and abuse have made them quite
otherwise
The above Is the mode of cultivation which
mas been generally pursued here. but the sys-
tenn OF husbandry which has been found SO
beneficial In England. and which must be greatly
promoted by your valuable annals is now gain

ury office,

The Republican party broke all records in
changing from an honest to a dishonest Or
ganzation. For thirty years Theodore Roosa-
welt was a part OF 1t and therefore, 1t is safe
to assume, the party was honest during that
time. Overnight Theodore got out OF it and
the Republican party henceforth ceased to be
honest. The quickest reversion to type known
to history. No methodist could fall from grace
suddenly.

RUNNING WILD,

II the progressive senators In congress are
not careful they will hinder the very work
they hope to achieve and will create division
within the party ranks which will result in
no good to the Democratic party or to the
country The reports that they have banded
together to take from the older senators the
positions to which they are entitled by long
service are disquieting. The new senator's
fresh from fields which have heretofore been
represented by Republicans are not satisfied.
II seems, to work their way to the top or to
demonstrate their fitness for position before
getting 1t. They want the plums without work
and without delay
Under the rules OF the senate, chairmanship
OF committee is gained by service Seniority
rules. When the committees are organized
the ranking member gets the Craftsmanship
or II ranking member OF more than one com
mittee. he can have his choice and the second
ranking member takes what he leaves. In this
way length OF service counts above all things
ard ability counts but little. This rule the
new Democratic senators wish to overthrow.
az practically all the best committees are con-
long In service.
This rule OF seniority has Its good points
and its bad. Experience is given the prefer
ence over ability. When experience and natural
ability are combined In the chairman II inst
happens that way. 1t will happen often II the
majority OF the old senator's are able men. II
will happen seldom II they are not The chances
are that the senators who are long retained
are ADLER than those who are retained for .oneA
or two terms. SO that experience combined
with ability. more often than not, has been
the result OF the working OF the present sys-
fem. However, 1t Is true that all doors os
hope are closed to new senators and often
even to those who have been in the senate
for as much as two terms They cannot hone
for Craftsmanship for years, however ab,e
they may be, except through some unlikely
accident. such as DEATH resignation or early
defeat of those ahead OF them. It is true also
that the system gives one section most of the
that gains In later years It may be New
England or the Middle or Far West
The contention OF the new senator's has
much merit in 1t, butt there is much to be said
IN favor OF the system which they wish to
change. In addition precedent is with the old !
guard. 1t would seem. therefore. that there
's room for compromise. Something undoubt- !
