Governor Edward S. Stokes will serve
as the vice chairman Of the Republl-
can State committee He issued a
statement upon his position in the
present campaign today and while he
does not say in so many words that

rublicans to stay by the party IN It's
time of trouble.
Mr Stokes takes up the tariff SIT

states that undoubtedly Mr.. koose-
veIt voices the views of the majority
Of the American people on this queS-
ticn. The former governor deplorcS
the differences in the Republican par

nliteracy a Sin.

Rev. DIR. Polemus H. Swift, pastor
of Madison Avenue Methodist Episco-
pal church, Baltimore, preached on the
subject of "Open Doors" Sunday even
ing. The text was taken from Reve-
lation iii. 8, and part of what the
sneaker said follows:
"There are many open doors before
our American youth. Many temples
invite an entrance. Many opportuni-
ties urge to masterful activity.
"The door into the temple OF knowl-
edge stands wide open before you as
it never did before the people OF any
age. This is an age Of light, popular
education, immense intellectual adVan-
tages, when truth has been sought eV-
erywhere and taken captive as never
before in the history of the world. Our
public schools make illiteracy a SIN
against oneself and humanity.

Fight to Move Courthouse.

Excitement is at fever heat in Al
exandria county, Va, over special
election which is being held today at
which the voters vii ldecide whether
or not the courthouse shall be re-
moved from Fort Meyer Heights to
Rosslyn.
Interest in the fight has been in
creased by the publication Of state
ment that if the Courthouse is re-
moved the land upon which it has been
located vii lrevert to its former own
ers. The present courthouse site is
worth about $4,000.
This statement is denied by advo-
Gates of the new site. They hold that
the county upon accepting the present
site at Fort Meyer fulfilled all obliga-
tions when the court house was COM
pleted within five years.
Advocates Of removal declare that
Rosslyn is more centrally located for
a court house site and has street car
connections, which Ft. Meyer Heights
does not have.

Surrendered His Wife.

4 celebrated EngliShman, whose

surrendered his wife TO a man which
he ascertained was her affinity. It

that while he was as proud of his
wife as man should be, he was aware
of the fact that her soul was wrap
ped up in a man her equal in every
way. who inherited tastes similar to
her own. The description Of the sew

GREAT LAKES AND
GULF Of MEXICO
Deep Waterways Suggested
to Unite Great Bodies
of Water.
LOWER LIVING COST.
President Kavanaugh Makes Address
to Lakes to the Gulf Deep Water
Association.

Little Rock, Ark, Sept. PA deep
waterway from the great lakes to
the Gulf of Mexico would lower the
cost of living to the millions of people
in the Mississippi Valley and eventu-
ally to the whole population of the
United States.
This claim was made today in the
opening address of President William
X. Kavanaugh, of St. Louis, It the
annual convention of the lakes to the
gulf deep waterway association here.
Illness made it impossible for Kava-
naugh to read his paper and Vice
President E. S. Conway of Chicago,
performed this duty.
"The project would benefit the coun-
try more than the Panama Canal, de,
clared Kavanaugh and he suggested
the workers and machinery employed
on the Isthmus be transferred from
the completed canal to the Mississippi
River. The deep waterway would cost
considerably less than the Panama
Canal" said Kavanaugh.
ga very important phase of this
deep waterway" he declared, "has
been. indicated by the recent record
breaking floods in the MISSISSIPPI VAL
ley. These floods have been more dam
aging than any gone before. am
in favor of the federal government
taking over these levees, and perfect
ing them along the most advanced
scientific principles" said Kavanaugh.
"The value of the Panama Canal is
a mere bagatelle compared to TINS
completed project. / do not believe
that the canal will be of that beneh.
to the people of the United States
that it's cost would indicate unless
this deep waterway is quickly com
pleted."
The argument that the deep water
wav would lower the living cost was
based on the report of O. p. AUSTIN
expert of the Commerce and LABOR
Department at Washington. "Ihe
average price of transporting wheat
on railways is ten cents per bushcl
for one thousand miles on the ocean
one cent per bushel for one thousand
miles" said Austin. President kava-
naugh also showed that the railroad
rate in the great lakes was nine and
one-half times the water rate.

MUST co ON ROADS.
s,s1eT1 dodgers Enemy,
;aISuoO . ."Irall of Winter
Jailbirds.

Now that the melancholy days have
come, there is a large element in Viz
ginia who are preparing to hibernate
in the various jails throughout the
Commonwealth so that they may not
be exposed to the rigors of the
weather.
These individuals, who of course,
have no ambition to stand nigh in 81
ciety, prefer few months of COM
Portable prison life to exposure out
doors. For years they have success
fully followed this plan of retiring
during the winter.
But unfortunately for their present
ease of mind, Auditor c. Lee Moore,
the terror of tax-dodgers, has gotten
on their trail. He thinks such cltl-
zens, so long as they insist on jail con-
nections, should be made to work on
the roads.
Imbued with this idea he has writ
ten the following self-explanatory les-
ter to the Governor:
For the purpose of correcting q
condition of affairs which now eXls:s
in this State, which relates to the num-
ber of prisoners confined therein IN
idleness, | beg leave to suggest that
YOUR excellency will, at the earliest
date possible, arrange for conference
with the superintendent of the w
ginia penitentiary, the state Highway
Commissioner, the Secretary of the
State Board of Charities and Correc-
tions, the Attorney General and myse'i
TO see if we cannot devise a method,
under existing laws, for the use OF
these prisoners upon the public roads
of the state, so as to secure to the
commonwealth some service for thef
maintenance, etc.
Commencing with this season of the
wear, when cold weather approaches,
surmise that many of these untortu-
mates are guilty of ofenses for the
purpose of being committed to jail
to be housed, boarded and clothed at
the expense Of the state.
Governor Mann is in hearty accord
with this new project of Auditor
Moore, and to show his good faith he
has fixed September 26th as the day
and p. M, as the hour for the pro-
posed meeting.
The executive believes that good re-
suits will accrue from the conference
and that it VII mean subtantial addi-
tions to the road force.

Religion Cause of Murder.

The first murder, as has often been
said, was the result of religious
quarrel. The work has ben going on
from that day to this. Nations have
bene convinced by theological dis
putes and families alienated.
Arthur Knable, 21, also known as
Arthur Hall, shot and killed his elder
brother, ]. J. Hall, in the wine room
of the St. Francis Hotel,in San Fran
cisco.
Two bullets from Knable's revolver
took effect in Halls heart. Rushing
from the wine room Young knable
then boarded a car and proceeded
to the Hall residence. Here he shot
and killed the wife of the brother ne
had just murdered and then committed
suicide. A family quarrel, caused by
the fact that Hal, who is a Jew,
had married the Christian daughter
of O. A. Meacham, of San Francisco,
is scaid to htave CERT vreE t fh
is said to have been the cause OF the
double murder and suicide.
Hall, who was thirty, was th4
manager of the Saint Francis wine
room.
His younger brother, who had re
Gently come from New York, sought
employment under him, but owing To
the fact that the hotel management
will not employ two members OF the
same family, he changed his name tc
Knable. After his elder brother
marriage young Knable, who had op-
posed it on religious grounds con-
stantly quarreled with Hall.

what will without doubt be the finest

Messrs. McCabe and Phillips have
been very successful as song writers
and recently while discussing their
latest hit "Nellie Bell" with some
friends one of the party offered to
wager $1,000 that the author could not
make the trip from this city to New
Orleans, entirely depending on the rev.
enue derived from the sale of their
songs to defray the expenses. Nc
Cabe and Phillips quickly accepted the
challenge, and as result they will
depart in front of the Gazette office TO-
morrow morning at eight o'clock.
Preparations for the trip have been
under way for several days, special
walking outfits have been secured, ana
new supplies of their latest song hits
have been ordered shipped to points
throughout the south at which they
will stop.

raigned so a to touch at all of the
principal cities of the south includ-
ing Richmond, Danville, Greensboro,
Raleigh, Charlotte, Atlanta, Birmins-
ham and Mobile.
Messrs.. McCabe and Phillips will
leave here bearing Endorsements from
the Hon. Fred. J. Paff, eX-Mayor and
