A FRIENDLY SUGGESTION.
DO TT NOW.


while quasProgressives and old line Re
pubf1cans are preparing plans for the rehabilita
ifion of the Grand Old Party. whose funeral was
held last November Dame Rumor comes for
ward with a bit OF interesting gossip which
furnishes an idea which might be builded
d new. cleaner Republican party. Believing in
party government and confident that IT would
be better for the Democratic party to have some
real opposition, The Virotmtdn is unselfsh enough
to give Cummins and Barnes. Beveridge and
Penrose, Flynn and Bristow and the rest the
benefit of its bright discovery.
The Republican party is reactionary while
the Progressive party is radical; the Republican
Progressive party is in the hands of that great
eoterie of idealists Roosevelt and Perkins, Jane
Adams and Bill Flynn, Hiram Johnson and
Dan Hanna; mammon. In the person of the
Msrgans, control the Republican party. while
poor reformers like Frank Munsey and Perkins
stand high in the councils OF the Progressives.
At first thought it would seem impossible to
bring these two conflicting elements together
but idea. which We think good one and
to us, is this
Nominate Colonel Roosevelt on the Repub-
ucan party ticket
Here. at one stroke, we not only rehabilitate
the Republican party. but wash 1t whittier than

colonel will not the G. O. p. purge itself of all

would have to reform With him? All, what
could not be done? Money from Wall Street and
from predatory wealth would become clean upon

and his kind would be cleansed by association
even as were Hanna and Finn and Perky BY
accepting him the Republican party would es.

event the Grand Old Party wouid be resurract ad

A Pertinent Inouir,

A Pertinent Inquiry.
The Halifax Gazette publishes the following
paragraph and its comment thereon:
Now is the time for all good men 20 como
to the aid Of Virginia--Richmond Times-Dis-
patch
What is the matter with the poor old State
Of Virginia.? Or Is 1t the State Of Virginia
that dfstressingly needs aid, the Times-Dis-
patch?"
The inquiry suggests doubt at least. It
Is a strange and fnexplicable situation when a
newspaper published in Virginia and Deepen
dent upon Virginians for its support devotes its
editorial to villifying prominent virEnians and
diligently trying to disseminate the false impress
sion that the people of this State corrupt
set or are the plant tools and puppets of cor
ruptfonists Sowing the gospel of discomfort and
suspicion and striving to create the impression
that the owners OF this Richmond newspaper
are the only good men in all this Commonwealth

Strange to say, some people appear to relish
able and patriotic people.
Away with this insidous and persistent at
tempt to make men dstrust each other and
all others themselves. Good government
cannot result from such foolish and suicidal
policy. The Richmond newspaper in question
has never manifested It's sympathy with the
dominant element of Virginans and vet II
says to lead them. 1t is leading them mis-
leading them into an opposition party, party
of protest, and some blindly following, they

ago how the Times Dispatch was editoriay

was badly misgoverned and that the Demo-
cratic party. embracing the of the in

Auditor Moore's Plan.

The Progress has many occasions editor
tally discussed the segregation separation Of
taxes, and urged that our tax laws, be recast
as to put this system into effect. Is Is simple
and direct In method, and does away at once
with unjust inequality OF tax burdens levied
IN support Of the State.
Mr.. Moore has probably solved the problem
for the Virginia taxpayer. There seems to be no
reasonable ground for opposition to the plan
which turns over to the State for taxation the
corporation and leaves to counties and cities
all other subjects Of taxation for their own
revenue Wherever State taxation is levied.
city and county taxation ceases. and wherever
city and county taxation Is levied State taxation
comes to end. Double taxation becomes a
thing not to be seriously feared is there any
reasonable ground Of objection to segregation?
OF course. need mot be surprised that men
will disagree about this subject they have
about all others. The working of details
has always furnished fruitful ground for the
growth of disputes, but in the end we must
come to solution OF our tax problems that Is
at once effective and just. The present sys-
tenn Is ineffective and unjust and we have lived
under 1t longer than just people should have
DONE We know the injustice inherent in a sys-
tenn wherein assessments vary so per cent and
more.
Especially do think 1t incumbent upon
candidates for the legislature to look into that
plan carefully and announce where they stand
in relation to it. No subject OF profounder
interest will be dealt with by the next general

There has been criticism of the site
at virginia Beach for the camp OF the State
troops; of the motives for selecting it, and
the money spent 1t. While we would, of
course from local pride be glad to have the
camp in our part Oft the State, we have not the
slightest idea that the camp already selected
ana improved, where the troops were recently
encamped, will be abandoned There is no good
therefore. to be accomplished by simply finding
fault. Moreover. If the site were abandoned
where in the State a level body of ground of
equal size suitable in every way for camp; we
might fare much worse by the change
AS a matter of fact, the site has everything
TO commend 1t except that when the rain pours
for several hours the water floods the camp
and puts a stop to all military operations. II
this can be obviated the camp will be an ideal
one, and We see reason why. with proper
drainage, this may not be corrected and at rea-
sonable expense. We have every reason to be-
ieve the defect will be corrected before the time
arrives for another encampment.
Before dsmissing the subject we wish to saw
there is no ground for believing that there was
provement OF the site. The ground was given
TO the State. and the improvements were made
with money furnished by the State and by the
general government. We have not checked
over the expenditures, but in a general way
one can see that the money has been actually
shows for itself. and we have every reason
to believe the State has gotten substantial value
for the money expended
1t Is true, published, that for a few DAYS
the State troops recently encamped there had
a hard time of 1t because Of the foods. but that
drained. and with drainage this objection will
be removed. The camp Is new, and It could
not be expected to be in perfect condition for
the first encampment.--Stau Leader.

Courthouse Rings.

The Richmond Times Dispatch when It hasn't
anything less stale to bark at, gives few
yelps at the "courthous ring" One of. the most
serious hnderances to community and State
progress is the spirit which engenders and keeps
alive foolish luminosity of the people Of the
rural neighborhoods to the people of the county
seat town, such as the Times Dispatch now en-
ccurages Generally the only courthouse ring Is
composed of a few people at the county seat
who, for personal ends of sort or another,
attempt to ingratiate themselves with the coun-
try people by keeping alive that prejudice and
unfriendly feeling Otherwise country people
and town people would realize that interests are
mutual and work together IN the best OF friend
ship for the upbuilding Of the community In
Henry county, as in other progressive commun-
tiles Of the State that spirit of antagonism
is fast disappearng.--Henry Bulletin.

Wants Speeches.

The Richmond Virginian does not approve of
the 'gumshoe" kind Of campaign being carried
on by the candidates, but rather the old fash
toned, open speech making campaign of the
past, where the candidates tell the people
something and present their claims in words.
We approve that part particularly Of The Vir-
ginians suggestion, that the candidates tell the
people why they should be elected to the offices
they seek. Let Mr.. Brown and Mr.. Koiner, Mr..
Pollard and Mr.. Williams and all the rest give
us their pleas and claims.
AS 1t is. the newspapers are depended upon
to do the boosting tand generally free of
charged, of the candidates for office. As. to
candidates seeking reelection. the voters have
their records, but know nothing of the reasons
why tho new men want it, What we want is
the best man, and how to know who
Is the best when there is nothing to
Judge from but the perhaps partisan, biased

however, have all been overcome.

best fair In the Pacific Northwest.
One Of the big events will be the

and already some splendid pedi-
greed stock has been promised.
Already 50 entries have been
made for the trotting races from
all over the Pacific Northwest
These entries are In the early clos
ing classes. The late closing
classes will probably show the
largest entry list, so that at least
100 horses west OF the Mississippi
river will be shown.
