Nersnnncra md Men.

The bitter denunciation OF The

things quite plainly: that a newspaper

newspaper. Just how guilty The

journalism we are unable to state.

THE REv0LuTIoN IN yInCIy1A

THE REVOLUTION IN VIRGINIA.
The people OF Virginia do want a
revolution, but few OF them know how
10 so about it," Thus writes n cor
respondent OF The Times Dispatch
known generally as Piedmont" He
continues: There are a lot Of good
men and women who arc lighting
against saloons. and they have helped
the community Others are talking
and writing for tax reforms, and many
are working for equal suffrage Now
why can't they get together on com
mon platform and elect n new kind
of men TO serve the people in public
office. mon who are both competent
and willing TO work for the commu-
nity?"
The answer seems stated in the cues
ton There are no new kinds Of men.
and the old kinds. whatever their en-
thusiasm OF reform. are all interested
in their own view of government Each
group Is so intent upon its own ideals
and its own program that il cannot
cooperate with the other groups for
the selfiess service OF the democrat tic
ideal that must come before all isrus
and movements. There are too many
creeds and not enough hard workers
Much good has doubtless been done
by the preaching OF temperance
through this state. Temperance is
good thing. hut it implies temperance
and forbearancc in all lines rs well
as the most scrupulous honesty OF
methods Could all drunkenness he
eliminated from Virginia, the state
would be profoundly helped but it
would not be made over into an earthly
paradise. The suffraEist enthusiasts
are charmed BY the same dream. They
think that II women are given the
vote all will be remedied Yet
the sanest advocates OF woman's vot
ing do not hope for revolution. 1t
has not come elsewhere Certainly tax
reform Will not strike out ali graft

The revolution we need is one in
human nature. We need less pride
Of opinion and more cooperation. and
in this Piedmont is wise As long as

SILO OF CONCRETE BLOCKS
Reinforcement Required.

A question of considerable interest
to farmers in this community who
have already built or who intend build
ing a silo of concrete blocks has been
answered by the Editor Cement
User" 1905 Stock Exchange building,
Chicago, in a letter to ]. B. Hawley Of
Madison, Colo.
The matter Of reinforcing concrete
block silos vertically does present
some difficulties. If the blocks are so
laid that a hollow space will extend
from the ground to the roof, this can
be accomplished by placing steel rod
against the outside wall of the block
and filling this hollow space continu-
ousIy with mortar as the silo is built
from the ground to the top of the silo
We do not know Of any other way Of
reinforcing vertically. Particular at
tention should be given to the hori.
zontal reinforcement in block siIos.
The blocks should be made so as to
have a groove in the top face deep
enough to accommodate a reinforcing
rod. These grooves are generally put
about an inch and a half to two inches
from the outside of the block. Dur
ing the construction of the silo, the
rod is placed in this groove at the
same time as the mortar joint is laid.
For block silos, separate doors at
intervals are better than continuous
doors. BY building a reinforced con
crete beam over each door opening,
the strength of the silo will be great
Iy increased as the horizontal rein
forcing hooked together where it laps,
forms one continuous ring extending
entirely around the silo. Alongside of
the door openings, these horizontal
rods should be securely fastened to a
vertical rod placed in the concrete
