This Bill Should Pass


In rather grouchy and dys-
peptic mood, the Baltimore
American regards the bill re-
Gently submitted to Congress
providing for the creation of a
Fathers Day, upon which 1.-The
churches will be called upon to
do honor to the dignity and the
like of paterfamilies." Every
day is fathers day to pay bills, +"
glooomily remarks our Baltimore
contemporary Every day is
fathers day to do the stunt of
making a livelihood for the wife
and sextette of children, more
or less. Every day is fathers
day to be made to feel as small
as the tiniest potato in the hill,
when mamma marches her porch
club into the premises with a
silent hint for his evacuation
until the celery-sand wich fest
has been brought to a close. The
Fathers Day idea is a tarty eff
fort to galvanize some interest
in the existence of the negligible
member of the household. The
fathers do not want any more
days, for the days they now
have fill the calendar with re-
current reminders of burdens.
AS for honors, the fathers know
they would have to sound their
own trumpet on fathers day as
on any other day when their
existence creates any ripple of
interest whatever"
True enough, but why not set
apart some Sunday in each year
for Father to go forth and sound
his own horn. He is meek
enough as it is all too humble
and forlorn as he patiently plods
his way through this sad world
of sin and sorrow. Anything
calculated to make him perk up
Il bit, think of himself and as.
sumo Il somewhat important,
even naughty bearing, will do
the old fellow good. Nothing
can even redeem him. to be sure
especially in these blithe days
of woman SURFACE clamor moth
ing can ever make him worthy
the lofty respect of spouse OF
thoughtful consideration of
childrcn-still every now and
then we believe he should get
"uppety," take a day off and
have his fling-just to let folks
know that he is around, if for
nothing else. No, no-don't let S
surrender this Fathers Day
movement, now that it has been
started. We're strongly for it,
and for the Poppy as its flower,

A Richmond preacher in dis
coursing last Sunday upon the
vices Of the rich said: Wealth
and frugality seldom go togeth-
er, and never in the first genera
ton" Our observation has been
that this is the one generation
in which s ch is the case. 1t is
seldom the persons with the
brains TO accumulate great
wealth that indulge in all the
riotous excuses which have
made the large fortunes of this
country the laughing stock of
the world-it is their sap-head-
ed scatter-brian offspring, with
out the ability or the inclination
to do anything useful or add
anything to the sum total of
human progress. These and
their counterfeit imitators in the
humber walks Of life are sett-
.ng the pace which is tearing
society from its safe mooring of
frugality and leading it into ex-
travagance and all its attendant
evils, Salem Times-Register,

MAN-TRAPS ON THE HIGH.
WAY.

A verdict of $500 was render
ed last week in a court against
the city of Roanoke for damages
sustained by a lady whose buggy
was overturned by driving into
a ditch or excavation left open
by the street workers. The usual
red signal placed at such places
IS a warning had been either
omitted or removed, and this
lady and her husband, driving
home after dark, plunged into
the ditch with serious results to
the lady and a cost of $500 to
the city of Roanoke.
Between this town and the re-
sidence of j. G. Buston, there
are at least three dangerous
holes or bitches, left by the road
people where drains were made
under the roadway. These broad
deep holes are open where they
empty into the fields some dis
lance from the fences, and are
dangerous, in the night time,
and in the day time as well, as
weeds and grass almost hide
them from view. Just why the
road people left these mantraps
and hog holes open and exposed
as they are is known only to
"the bosses" themselves. 1t will
be no great surprise to hear,
someday that somebody has been
crippled or killed, and the county
sued for large damages. This
hint and warning is given to
people who drive these roads in
buggies or wagons, and have
occasion to turn out aside from
passing vehicles. Look out for
these man traps. And this hint
to the authorities ought to suffi-
cient.

9 The editor of the Fender
Chronicle tells of finding $40 in
a farmers fence corner the
other day. The story is so inter
esting that we pass it on for the
benefit of our readers:
1--WE were a little surprised a
few days ago to find $40 lying in
the road beside the hedge at the
corner of one our prominent
business farmers home, and the
more so to find that it had lain
there several months unmolested
but beginning to look much the
worse from the exposure. The
money was in the shape of a
two-horse corn planter that will
have to be replaced by a new one
before many years unless cared
for better than that"

The New Law.
Progress:

Charlottesville Progress:
Mr.. Underwood warns us that
there will be no immediate re-
duction of the cost of living due
to the new tariff bill, and gives
a reason which ought to be OBJ
vious to any thoughtful persons.
The stores of the country are
supplied with goods purchased
under the old law and these will
be sold until the supply is ex-
austed precisely as if the Payne
Aldrich tariff enactment were
the law still. There are other
conditions which will operate
to delay relief, but the shackels
have been removed, and COM
petition will eventually do it's
good work.
A Protectionist newspaper,
jibing at the new tariff law,
declares it is neither fish, flesh
nor fowl. Why should it be any
of these things, if any of them
means more or less than a
straight revenue bill? What the
Underwood Simmons bill or any
other tariff law ought to be is a
measure to provide a revenue
for the government. No bill that
a Republican administration has
framed has ever considered
government at all. All of them
were framed to take care of
something else.
One of Hearst's newspapers
says of the effects of the new
law: eve in the United States
will pay the bills" We always
have done so, and this threat is
nothing new; but we will pay
them to the government for its
support and not to the Trusts
for their enrichment.
In four months to the day al
most the Democratic party has
changed the ideal of taxation,
as reflected in luck to the nation
in need of revenue. The object
in view is now, as in the past,
sugar grower, wool grower, and
the like, but the people of the
United States. They will con-
tinue to pay for what they get,
but they will pay less for what
they don't get and the interest
will get smaller unearned divi-
dend than under the old order
of things. World News.

Patrons Urged to Visit Schools.

Richmond, Va, Oct. Is, 1913.
Reports received at the office
of the Cooperative Education
Association indicate that Patrons
Day, Friday Oct, 81, will be
observed in every county of the
state. School superintendent
and teachers are busily at work
to make the day a success.
The object of Patrons Day is
to awaken a greater interest in
our public schools. On the day
appointed parents will gather at
the schools to hear songs and re-
citations by the pupils and
public addresses by citizens in
terested in building up our
schools. In many cases Patrons
Day will be an all day affair, a
part of the time being devoted
to cleaning up the school grounds
and making necessary repairs to
the building.
1t is hoped that no school will
observe the day without organ
izing a School and Civic League
to hold regular meetings through
out the session and work in a
systematic way for the improve
ment of the school.
The Cooperative Association
urges all public spirited citizens
to help make Patrons Day a
success. 1t especially urges that
on the Sunday preceding or fol-
lowing the day, our ministers
preach a sermon on Education.

took Llano in charge and to city

he and Chief of Dectives Allend-

much cash in such a small wad.
Llano told such badly conflicting
stories of how and when he got
the bills, that he is held for fur
ther investigation. He can
speak nothing but spanish, and
the interpreter also believes him
crooked. He had more than
$4,000 in 20 dollar gold pieces in

in small bills and change in his
