Trenton, Aug. 30:-State Motor

drivers license of William B. Smith,
of Caldwell, as the result of a smash
up at Fairfield in which Smith was
implicated on August Z. Mrs. Her.
man Schifflin, of New York, was in
jured in the collision. Mayor John
Espy, of Caldwell, wrote Mr.. Lippin-
cott that in his opinion Smith was
not a fit person to hold a drivers
license. The mayor charged that
Smith at times became intoxicated.
The commissioner has revoked the
automobile registration of Peter
Schwartsbauer, of Somers Point, At
lantic county, on the charge of
changing his registration number.
The evidence in the case showed that
the license number on Schwarts-
bauer's automobile had been changed
from 1870 to 1913, by scratching
the figure four and changing the
cipher. The defendant admitted the
number had been changed, but
claimed he did not do it. 1t was al

Trenton, Aug. 30:-The value of
New Jersey farm crops have in
creased from s24,249,179 in 1900 to
$67,715,872 in 1911, according to
the annual report of the State Board
of Agriculture just issued. The IN
crease in the value of the crops of
1911 over those of 1910 was about
~$3,000,000. The total value of the
farm and farm properties in the
state is s254,S32,665. The value of
the domestic animals and poultry on
the New Jersey farms is now $24,-
5S8,639, an increase since 1900 of
more than $1,000 600.
Another interesting thing shown
in the report is that the encroach-
ment of cities and towns ON the
farming area in the state has re-
duced the farm acreage since 1900
to the extent of 267, 100 acres. which
Is equivalent to the elimination of

An Opportunity For Busy Farmers.

The Virginia Polytechnic Institute
announces new course in Agriculture
The V. P. l., already has four years
course in Agriculture for the training
of agricultural specialists; a two wears
course in Agriculture for the training of
young men who expect to engage in
farming; and several courses of one
month each, given in the winter, for
the instruction of farmers and their
sons. The new course lasts only four
Gays and will be given this year from
December 3lst to January Sd. 1t is for
practical farmers who cannot spare a
longer time from their work, hence the
name Farmers Week"
The preliminary announcements. lust
received, state that the four days will
be devoted to discussions of some of the
most important problems of Virginia
farmers, including methods of maintain
ing coil fertility, the use fertilizers, corn.
grass and potato growing, crop rota-
tons, dairyipg, the farm orchard. the
breeding and feeding of live stock.
These and other subjects will be dis
cussed in practical way by the agri-
cultural faculty of the V. P. l. and bv
number Of speakers from different
parts of the state and from other states
Two hours each day will be devoted to
demonstrations of important farm op-
erations. The Virginia State Corn
Growers Association will meet Mt
Biacksburg during Farmers Week. and
will have complete exhibit corn.
The expense of attending Farmers
Week will be small. 1t is probable that
the railroads will grant reduced rates
and visitors will be boarded by the
College at cost. No fee is CHARGED.
Since Farmers week comes during the
holiday season, when the regular stud
ents are absent, the College will be able
to take care of all who come.
The idea that the Agricultural College
has g duty to the mature farmers of the
State. as well as to the comparatively
few young men who matriculate as req
uiar students, is now generally recog-
nized. Nearly every Agricultural Col
lege now offers short winter courses
and many Farmers Week, similar to
that established by v. P. l., has been a
profitable feature for several years.

but the logical result of machine rule in
the state. OF taking RECKLESS young
country fellows, or broken down men
with no character to lose, or coarse
ward and precinct workers eager for
jobs, and let them do the perjury, the
stealing and the smuggling for US. We
created and hired our rascals. Every
election we developed a new stock of
perjurers and bulldozers. We

this is the way the democratic party is
kept in power in the state, would it not

in national as we'll as state politics when
the party that created them came into

is typical of the democratic party and
its methods in Virginia, and on par with
many other things it has done.

after living great men? Not unlikely
in England, when Mr.. Gladstone was

horror in after years when Mr.. Glad

destruction of the house of lords. So
IN this country there are or have been

great chagrin of people who in infancy
were given the names of those same
political leaders. The safest plan is 70

Judging by the election figures there
are many who seem to take the latter
view of the matter. In the election of
1908 there were more voters who failed
to vote than there were who voted for
the winner, President Taft. Appalling
as are these figures the returns this
year are still more alarming for. in
spite of the large increase in the num-
Der of voters, the total vote cast was
less, by over half a million. than that
in 1908.
What's the remedy? The most obvi-

every citizen who, having received the
right or privilege of voting, fails to ex-

But MIR. Eggleston's admins

when he stood before the meeting

A WARTOR INSULT,

In behalf of the state of Virginia and
the city of Richmond, the Roanoke
Times tenders 20 the country an apology
for the virtual hanging in efIigy of Pres
ldent Taft in the democratic parade. in
Richmond, Tuesday night. Hanging or
burning in effigy is the final expression
of the indignation or contempt of a COM
munity against public man. President
Taft has not done or said anything to
deserve such an indignity from any
community.
According to published reports. a Wa
gon, draped in black, was part of the
long procession. On this wagon was q
gallows from which hung a figure rep
resenting the president. This object
was hauled three or four miles through
the streets Of Richmond. Such an in
suit to an amiable, honest gentleman
and great American citizen was not
ike Richmond and is contrary to the
spirit of the old Commonwealth of Vir-
GINA and 10 all her traditions of kindE-
ness, courtesy and regard for the pro-
prieties
Doubtless the construction of the
wagon and gallows and the intrusion of
them into the parade was the work of
thoughtiess and coarse persons who
really did not realize the significance of
what they were doing. 1t is astonish-
ing, however, that the governor of Vir-
glnia and the mayor of Richmond con-
scented to be parts of a procession in
GLIDING vindictive and wanton Insult
to the president of the republic.
President elect Wilson has won praise
from men of all parties by the pains he
has taken on all occasions to express his
admiration for the president and conf
dence in his character. President Taft
delighted the country, when at a public
banquet, Immediately after the cleo
ton, he toasted Governor Wilson in
words of unmistakable sincerity and ex-
pressed the hope that his administration
Will be honorable to himself and a bless
ing to the country and people. These
TWO men, in their conduct toward each
other, have illustrated the very highest
good breeding, and proved themselye to
be American gentlemen of the best
type. Governor Wilson would not have
sanctioned this affront to Mr.. Taft. and
through Mr.. Taft to the country of
which he is the honored president. Gov
ernor Wilson will be mortified to know
that parade in honor of his own cleo
tion, in the capital city of his own state.
was so disfgured and degraded.
All that can be done now IS to offer
an apology as general and earnest as
possible and to give assurance that the
affront is disclaimed and repudiated by
the people of the state and of Rich
mond. This newspaper knows it ex-
presses the feeling of the people of all
parties of the city of Roanoke, and all
of this part of Virginia, in expressing
that apology, disclaimer and repudla-
ton. President Taft, personally, has
the good will and respect of the entire
country; and as president is entitled to
the respect due the highest of all earth
ly Offices.
