WELCOME, GOVERNOR HARMoN:

On yesterday the House Of Delegates united
with the State Senate In the passage of the
joint resolution to invite Governor Harmon to
General Assembly.
without discussing the merits OF any man
or as Presidential possibilities we feel
that we can say that Richmond and Virginia
will give the distinguished Cover nor Cf Ohio,
the man who has redeemed his State for Demo-
cracy and purv political conditions q wa, m
Governor Harmon has been tower OF
strength for Righteousness in Ohio. He has not
been a spectacular hero. He has not always
been on the popular side--but he has won such
place In the confidence OF his people that
all the powers Of Republication have not been
able to unhorse him.
Governor Harmon's maine IL not usually
mentioned in the same bi cath with that of pro-
gressiyc Democracy and he is hailed by some
q careful perusal OF the recommendations Of
the Governor to the various legislatures of his
State and the actual results achieved will con-
vince the most doubtful that Governor Har-
mon Is himself periously near the dead-line
OF progressiveness.
But be his policies what they may virginia

NO DlspENsAKY FOR WILLIAMSBURG.


The House Committee on Counties. Cities
and Towns on yesterday very properly put
10 Sleep the bill providing for an election
for the establishment Of dispensary in the
city Of Williamsburg.
" Fourteen years ago the people Of that good
tswn and the county of James City voted to
abolish the sale of intoxicants from their COM
nunity. Since that time no liquor has Been
hwfuiiy sold as a beverage in Williamsburg.
IL cannot be successfully contended that the
hanishment OF the saloon has hurt business
n the town or proven detrimental. to James
cisy county. On the contrary. We know of no
section Of virginia that has enjoyed more
geud, substantial and continuous prosperity.

Harmon Should Ne Invited.

II 10 entirely proper that having been the
prime mover IN extending the invitation which
brought Governor Wilson to Richmond and
gave the people Of Virginia opportunity TO
hear his lucid and forcihle views on national
issues. the General Assembly should show the
same courtesy to Governor Harmon. Whatever
may be the outcome Of the contest In the Ma
tional Convention. where the operation OF the
two-thirds rule may eventuate in nomination
now regarded ~ not among the proba btlities
the gentlemen mentioned--the one born In vir-
ginia and the other Of the great State
which was carved from the ancient territory
OF Virgina-are the most prominent Of
the Democratic candidates for the presidency,
and II Ii on one Of the two that the preference
Of the Virginia Democrats IL almost certain to
fall. The supporters OF Governor Wilson have
been gratifed At the honor done the man of
their choice by the Legislature and their sense
OF fair play should dictate . cordial assent 10
the suggestions that similar compliment be
paid to Harmon. So much equal consideration
Is due from body representative OF tho entire
state to one who has enlisted the political al
lesiance OF large element OF the virginia De-
mccraey. We do not doubt that the resolution
will be promptly adopted by both houses Of
the Legislature and that Ohio's Governor viii
be accorded a welcome In consonAnce with his
exalted personal character and his eminent rec.
ord OF public service. by all means Senator
Hot's resolution should be promptly acceded

DETECTIVE DIES OF
WOUNDS FROM GANG
~. l. SOMERS, MIRO WAS BEATEN
FOR TRACING VIOLENT UN-
ION SYMP ATHIZERS, sue.
SUMBS TO INJURIES.

Lead, S. D.-.As a direct result of
the beating he received at the hands
of a gang of thugs in Butte a year
and a half ago, w. l. Somers, for two
years past II of the chief detectives
of the Homesstake Mining company,
died at his home here of paralysis.
Somers' end, while ultimately expect
ed, came suddenly as he had been
about the streets a few hours be-
fore.
Nearly two years ~ during the
Homestage labor troubles here, Som
ers, who for thirty years had been in
the PinEerton service and had oper-
ated from coast to coast, particularly
hunting down Western Federation
men, came here from Denver. During
the trouble here "Petibone dope" was
used in an attempt to destroy one of
the Homestake cyanide plants and
was traced to Emmett O'Grady, a
young Federationist. Somers got on
his track and followed him until he
was arrested in Butte. While Som
ers was taking his prisoner to the
police station there, a crowd of o.
Grady's friends set upon him and
beat him SO severely that he was in
the hospital for months. O'Grady
escaped, but later Somers traced him
TO Chicago, brought him back and he
was tried and convicted here and is
now serving time in the Sioux Falls
penitentiary for the crime.
