the message of well done, and brayely done;

Of the purpose and ability of Virginia to punish
where punishment is deserved. Within a few
weeks after the execution at the pententiary,
Governor Mann, there will doubtless be many
who have petitioned you to do otherwse--fnest
of them, we believe, to unite in the sentiment
that you have acted wisely and we'll; while had
you provided ciemency. years would have merged
into years. and decades into decades ere the
State would recover from the baneful effect that

The Aliens were crack Shots and they made
every bullet count. This fact has beer es-
tablished beyond the peradventure of doubt.
The killing of the judge was premediated and
was done In cold blood. And when these OUT

very foundation OF our government. 1t Is man $

when the law can be held lightly that men

When such conditions obtain, anarchy and

well for Virginia that she has in the governors

assaults Of the sentimental, and to see that

INCOMES AND h,cAnOo.

To whatever position President Wilson may
appoint William F. AlcCombs, the young idealist
in politics who has lived up to his ideals and
made them realities the American people will be
ready to approve. This because of their faith in
Wilson and their faith in McCombs. They know
that the president will not place him in an office
that be cannot ill with credit to himself and to
tic nation, and they know that the young South
erner will not accept position that he cannot
I'll, though it should be offered him.
McCombs and McAdoo are two men who sprung
into political fame overnight and VINO nave Jus
titled the esteem in which they have been held
brought into public notice apparently by acct
dent, they have been kept there by their own
abilities, They deserve much Of Wilson and no
less-of the country, and the one win be no less
delighted TO see them honoied than the former
is TO honor them. Service to their chief and will
ingness and ability to serve the country have
made and viii make McCombs and McAdoo. The
latter is in the cabinet secretary Of the treas
ury. The former can secure and hold an equally
responsible position If he desire it.
