MONOPOLY IN ELECTION MACHIN-
ERY UNJUSTIFIkBI,t

The Democrats OF Norfolk County,
whose Democracy stands the test. are
indignant because all the judges Of
election for that jurisdiction, except
in'one precinct. have been chosen from
that faction which looks TO the Re
publican head-ccntrc for leadership"
The Times-Dispatch Is forced TO concur
IN the conclusion of the Virginian- PHO.
that no intelligent person should be
surprised at such 4 state OF affairs. for
what else was TO be expected from an
electoral board composed entirely Of
tnsionists' Indeed, why should an
absence Of partisanship and regard for
decent appearances have been looked
for in the members OF that body when
the high authority that appointed them
had set the contrary example,"
If elections are to he conducted fair

There is nothing genuinely Demo-
cratic about either the official or tho
noiitical regimes at present on top in

Voice Of the People
Farmers Organizations vs. the Sher-

man Inv.
To the Editor of The Times Dispatch:
Slr,--H our leading editorial May 81
was a vigorous denunciation OF class
legislation benchting farmers organi-
zatl9ns and labor unions which. YOU
think, should be subject to prosecution
under the Sherman antitrust law. You
denounce the proposed exemption from
prosecution Of these bodies as vicious
legislation in the interest of class.
and demand that the general principle
of equality before the law shall be
applied TO all alike.
Now. this sounds fine; but let us
look little nearer at the subject and
see how II works out. Farmers or
eanizat'ons are not conspracies in re-
ton, but simply to ind markets for
the surplus produce Of a given COM
munity, and TO find the most direct
road TO these markets Their prime
object is to eliminate the middleman,
and. of course. the middleman be-
comes their enemy. II is estimated
that the producer gets about % per
cent of the ultimate price of his goods,
the price that the consumer pays. The
other 40 per cent goes to the middle
men. who come between the producer
ness Of the farmers associations to
get rid of some of these middlcmcn and
reduce the cost OF living to the con
sumer,. at the same time increasing
the prices OF produce TO the farmer
Along this line the association is
enabled to do what no single farmer
essential information concerning the
best markets and advise shipments ac-
cordingly. He puts aside the middle
men. and opens more and more direct
channels to the consumer. These and
many other services Of like nature
he can perform. and the result is that
production of all the fruits of the soil
is greatly stimulated. and nobody is
injured, excepting the spcculator.
whose interest ii is to prevent the
farmer from being advised or assisted
in the disposition Of his crops.
Now, these farmers organizations
represent their respective communities
and specialties. In the mountains they
sell apples, on the coast they sell vcgc-
tables and small fruits There can be
no understanding between these two.
and no conspiracy in restraint OF
trade Between the associations in
different states handling tho same
products, instead OF an understandime,
which lis, under the circumstances inn
possible, there Is constant and keen
competition. What concord can there
be between an association in Virginia
selling York Imperial apples and ono
in western New York selling Bald-
wins? But there can be competition

spective- goods. the finest quality, the

The Beautiful Tyre Bird.

The largest and handsomest of all
the song birds Is the Tyre bird. Its home
IL In Australia. where its song Is heard
morning and evening. II is heard
oftener In winter than In summer.
The chief beauty OF the Tyre bird Is in
the plumage OF its tail. which Is ele-
CANT and In the form OF an ancient
Tyre. While singing the Tyre bird
spreads its tail over its head like d
peacock and DROPS its wings to the
ground. This bird is not only fine
songster. but can initiate the songs OF
all birds, One living near a wood
sawyer's hut even initiated the sound
OF the ding OF saws. The Growing OF
cocks. the cackling of hens. the bark.
Ing OF dogs and the mewing Of cats
are within Its range. Its own song Is
also different from that Of other birds,
being louder and fuller tone
