two, and a threatened strike is averted. The
clerks and the railway are to be congratulated
that they have managed to settle mooted ques-
lions In a friendly manner and without recourse
to a strike, but it is the public more than either
of these that has the best right to be satisfied
with the situation. The public Is the most in
terested party and a strike would have been TO
its great disadvantage, whether railroad or broth
orhood finally won its contentious.
1t is this growing opposition on the part Of the
public to the settlement of disputes between labor
and capital by crude, fifteenth century methods
that will finally put an end to strikes. All the
country suffers when labor and capital get at
each others threats, and all the country will not
patiently endure 1t very much longer. Gradually
some other means of settlement will be found and
labor and capital will come to regard each other
as co-Workers and partners rather than as enc
mics. and will submit their differences to some
other arbiter than is now employed.
In the case of the c & 0. clerks the absolute
foolfshness of a strike seems to have been well
realized by both parties and both are to be com.
mended upon their willingness to settle the case
out Of court

H. Il. baskerville and the Bon Air Home.
Editor Of The Virginian:
Slr'~The newspapers have given publicity to
the resignation of Mr.. II. f. Baskervtll from
'"e executive of the Virginia Home
ana Industrial School for Girls. This was caused
ny the unjust criticism of those from whom he
oNpecteu better things. His resignation is a seri-
ana almost irreparable loss to the home at
inns important stage in its development.
Mr., Baskerville gave literally and largely IN
establish this institution. In addition to the
hundreds of dollars generously contributed he
mas given freely of his thought and time. As
treasurer he was scrupulously accurate, and no
one can truthfully say that one dollar was mis-
appropriated by or under him. AS secretary, he
has been neat and painstaking, and his minutes
Will compare favorably with those of anv secre-
tary, He filed these two offices consecutively
IN such A manner as to deserve the hearty com
mendatlon Of all good people.
Mr.. Baskervill Is an architect of the highest
ability, He Is also a very successful business
man. His technical Knowledge and commercial
experience have been invaluable to the board.
He has never received one penny from the home
for any Of his services. His integrity Of pur-
pose and $iHale-f4ia4e devotion to the inter-
ests Of unfortunate girls are deserving Of all
praise, To have been associated with so noble
a soul in so unselfsh q work is among the
sweetest memories of his colleagues. This partly
compensated for the sorrow we feel in losing
him
One Of the harmful results of the recent I'M
necessary agitations about the home is that il
wounds and discourages dislnterested men who
are engaged in social service. If those who
speak and write IN criticism were more thought
ful. they would save many a scar. Some OF us
have been misunderstood and misrepresented so

Taxation in Virginia
Colonial Taxation.-u. Direct Taxes.

The fact that the Virginia colony was iso-

reserved to the federal government These were
md rect taxes. We shall consider thp1rf in the
third article on colonial taxation, hut they are
mentioned here to emphasize the existence Of the
TWO Kinds Of taxation SO early in the history of
colonial Virginia-direct and indirect taxes. The
direct tax was chiefly in the form Of the poll
tax, and the indirect in the shape Of customs
duties. Some Idea of the extent Of the former
may be gathered from the following table; the
taxation figures represents pounds Of tobacco:

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.

Nov. "a, 1913.-Cattlemen we've dis
appointed with the action Of the cat
tie market i'm declining rs to IS cents
last week. A month or two ago ex-
pectatiou Of better prices for fed
cattle had a legitimate basis, but few
dealers now look for any improve
me0t before the New Year. Commits
sion men are advising customers who
have cattle on feed to hold them ev-
en- If the board bill is expensive, par
ticuIarly as weather conditions are so
favorable for cattle ON feed. Many
feeders, however, are possessed Of
desire to get rid Of cattle that cam
not be overcome, in some cases
even where they have the corn on
hand to carry the feeding operations
TO the bitter end. The outlook is
better today, as receipts are lighter
at all marbes. Range cattle are
less numerous here today, and the
supply Of 10000 head is 5000 less
than was received last Monday. Even
at markets east, where hquidatiouhas
been running wild, the brakes have
been applied successfully today. The
prices here are steady to 10 higher,
beef grades getting the advance and
stockers and feeders representing the
steady part Of 1t. Prime steers could
go a little higher than what the best
brought today, 1925 and $40. Butch
er grades caught a smaller decline
last week than dressed beef grades,
and canners held steady. Stocbers and
feeders are a dollar lower than six
weeks ago, a leading factor IN the
decline being tight money, usual at
this time Of the year when banks are
accommodating cash for the showing to
be made first Of the year. Quaran--

Prof. Shirk, formerly principal
OF the city schools here but now con-
nected with the Kansas Children IS
Home Society, was here this week
in the interests Of his society and
Tor a brief visit with his many old
friends. While here he made ar
rangements to take Ella and Willie
Jones, children Of Mrs. Racheal Sears
and also Conrad Swing, the ten
year old Hoisington boy who has
been in charge of Sheriff Brown the
last few weeks since his mother was
taken to the asylum, and will find
good homes for all of them. This
society is accomplishing a wonderful
good in caring for the children of
the state who are homeless or who
are not receiving the proper home
IredIneut, Dy placing them where
they will not only be fed and shell
tered, but where they will be sur
rounded by the influences which
will tend to make them good men
and women. The society does not
place a child in a home and then
trust to providence to see that they
are treated right, sent to school
and educated to become useful cit
liens, but keeps close watch On
them at all times, and If they do not
receive the care and attention to
which they are entitled, they are
taken back by the society and an.
other home Is found for them.

to hold up prices, but packers insist
they will yet put the price down.
Average weight was 176 pounds last

tive seems to be twofold, to get

Sheep and lambs touched a very
low spot last Tuesday, since when
values have advanced 25 to So cents.
Receipts are much lighter and pric-
