BALTIMORE, OF COURSE

The next Democratic National Con-
vention should be held in Baltimore.
Heretofore the city putting up the
largest amount of money carried off
the prize. This should not, particular
ly ut this time, be the sole considera-
ton. Baltimore will, no doubt, be
not lacking in its financial support to
the convention, but aside from this
the city of Baltimore, of all the cities
named so far, should be sele cted as
the place for the meeting of the con-
vention which is to name the next
President of the United States. Let
the vote for Baltimore be unanimous.
The great convention, meeting in this
territory, would enthuse new life into
some mossback states. Even Murphy
lied and Tammanyized, unprogressive
New York Democrats might be eau
ght in the swing. We are for Balti-
more and this ought to settle it.

Smallpox As UsuaI

Richmond, Jan. .-Smallpox has
made its annual appearance in the
State and may be expected in those
localities where vaccination is not
general, according to a special bullet
in of the Health Department issued
today.
Ever since the advent of cold wea-
Their, the States health officers have
been expecting reports of smallpox
and found their expectations realized
IN the monthly reports of physicians
received within the last few days. The
disease is reported in various forms
and is widely scattered in the Com
monwealth.
In the absence of general vacci.
nation law, the S tate is unable to
prevent the appearance of smallpox,
health officers declare. Vaccination in
every neighborhood is the only way to
prevent the annual outbreaks of
smallpox which are proving very
costly and dangerous.

Why Not TaZeweiI =?

If the effort in Pulaski county to
secure, by private subscription, the
county's share of the pay for de-
monstrator succeeds, we hope earnest
ly Commissioner Sandy will be able
to give a man. The Pulaski people
have shown so much enterprise and
public spirit in road building and
other directions that they deserve
some special consideration. The coun-
ty supervisors doubtless know their
business and resources and were cor
rect when they announced that the
county could not spare tho $500 for a
demonstration but if the people them
selves subscribe the money we do not
see how the appeal can be resisted.
Wythe has a demonstration and we
believe experience will prove the in
vestment to be Il paying one. 1t must
be useful to have on the ground a
man scientifically trained and inform
ed to whom questions can be referred
for immediate answer, ard who is
capable of showing how things should
be done and the results of them. The
Virginia farmer has outgrown the be-
lief that he knows all there is to
know about farming, and that his
father and grandfather before him
knew it all. He understands that dis
coveties and improvements come with
each year, the results Of the busy re-
searches and experiments of trained
men and thinkers. To have the results
of all this study put within his reach
by man who can go on his land and
talk to him by word of mouth is an
advantage and luxury like that of
having an able doctor in the house all
the time.
Probably the time will come when
every important county of the State
will have its own demonstration, whose
business will be to be ut the beck and
call of every farmer who finds him
self puzzled or in doubt or who needs
information or competent advice.
When that time comes the pay of the
demonstration will be as much part
of the fixed charges and routine ex-
pense of the county as the pay os the
Judge or the school teachers. Mean
while we hope the patriotic effort of
the Pulaski people will succeed and
that the success of the Wythe demon
strator will be so complete ard his
value so clearly proved that the ex-
ample of that enterprisng county will
be followed by all its neighbors. -
