TWO SIDES, AS USUAL.

Frequently and from various sources in Vir-
against the voting Of Republicans in Democratic
primaries. We have been told that this of
Republican votes explained the continual sue
c1ssea or THE ring" Now. from Louisa
county we have another note. The Office of
clerk Of court being vacant, Judge shackIeford
decided that he would appoint to hn the va
cancy the man chosen by majority Of the
Democratic voters Of the county in a special
primary. The Democratic executive committee
has ordered the election requiring that none
may participate but those qualified voters who
voted FOR Wilson last November. Thereupon
came queer developments One member Of
the Democratic committee protested bitterly. He
said he voted for Roosevelt and regarded his ex-
clusion from a Democratic primary a scand-
alous outrage The Central Virgjntdn in ex-
cited type and vehement sentences asserts that
the exclusion from the primary Of Progressives
and Republicans and of citizens who have neg
lected to pay their poll taxes or have failed to
register is a deep and desperate plot Of the
ri-,r"
SO we see that IN one instance alleged ad-
mission Of Republicans to primaries by the
ring IS political felony; and in the other in
stance exclusion Of the Republicans by 'the
ring" is a capital offense,

ANOTHER WAR SCARE

Germany. which only recently was laughing to
rfdcuie the repeated scares of Great Britain and
holding that country up to derision because OF
her fear Of war with Germany, now has war
scare Of its own. A few days ago the semi-oficial
Cologne gazette declared that the relations of the
empire with France are strained and argued
earnestly for a big increase in the expenditures
for war Never before" says the Ga2ctte, has
ttfrr French aftia1rce WITH ttrgy1U and The friend
ship with England been so manifest All this is
for the sole purpose of rcconquering Alsace and
Lorraine. In whatever corner OF the world the
flames may begin it is certain that We will have
to cross swords with the French"
Great Britain fears only Germany, but Ger
many. which short while ago was repeating
Bismareks boast that the German fear God and
nothing else in the world, is now seeing visions
,of attack from France Russia and England, and
II snrieRing for large increases in the expendi-
lures for the army and navy More than one
hundred thousand men $1,000 non-commissioned
officers 10000 horses and other additions, costing
a quarter Of billion dollars. Is the proposed
increase For nation that fears no one that
is a pretty large sum. II 1t is an indication Of
Germany's state Of nerves and shows what Ger
many thinks IT needs to protect itself no wonder
the Germans are laughing al Great Britain for
being afraid Of them. Nobody should fear Ger
many If what the semioficaI press has to say
about that nations preparedness for war is the
truth.

Richmond now is talking of increasing the tax
rate to 50. In other words the capital city pro-
poses to give the world another reason why peo-
pc should live and do business in Petersburg

On the contrary Richmond proposes to give the
world another reason why people should do bust
ness in Richmond. The Tirgjntan does not know
what is the tax rate Of the city of Petersburg
but it is very sure that even II increased to the
extent proposed 1t will still be less than that of
the Cockade City Whether this be true not
the improvements 10 be gained by an increase
will make Richmond so near like heaven that
they will not know nor care what Petersburg's
tax rate may be.
Richmond has not yet reached decision as to
whether the tax rate viii be increased or the
needed improvements paid for out OF the pro-
ceeds of a bond issue If the latter method be
adopted it is certain that it viii not take twelve
months or more to get it through the city council

Triumph ftheV.M.l.Boys

1t Is pity that every Virginian was not pres
ent at Washington upon the occasion of the in
auguration of President Wilson and Vice Presl-
dent Marshall to the triumphal march of the
cadet corps from the Virginia Military institute
and the magnificent reception the boys received
from the many thousands OF spectators VINO
lined Pennsylvania avenue.
They We're In excellent form even though they
were fresh from railway journey which. owing
10 the great amount of traffic, was almost twelve
hours long and following this had little sleep
When they marched down the avenue from the
capitol the alignment of men and guns was
almost perfect
They followed the splendid corps from West
Point and were in no respect inferior to the
West Pointers. These two organizations were
the cracks of the parade. The percentage OF
Virginians and Southerners among the specta-
tors undoubtedly very large and therefore
the v M /. boys had larger proportion of
friends among them than any other organiza-
tion but this fact alone is not sufficient to &C
count for the fervor with which they were APP
plauded as they marched.
In view of the march at Washington, in which
$50 cadets and % officers participated. and of
other accomplishments, ii is no wonder that
Vfrginians are proud Of these sons and of the
Virginia Military institute.
1t is but fair to say in connection with the IN
augural parade that there were many other or
ga nizations in line which deserved praise,
among which the Richmond Blues were con-
spicuous The elaborate and beautiful full dress
uniform OF the latter organization seemed to
meet with the especial favor of the feminine
element in the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Ledger

ARighteous Rebuke

Governor Mann's expressed hope that the peo-
pie of Virginia would cease to agitate the Allen

1t will probably be realized, in general way,
but il seems that there is to be denuneiatfon of
the chief executive in Some quarters where one
would have naturally expected a different atti-
tude.
The Richmond Journal roundly denounces the
governor in language that at this day and used
toward the highest official in Virginia is to say
the least, remarkable. 1t describes his state
ment apology. 1t seems TO us TO have
been a courageous document couched in the
language natural to one who pitied those whose
sad plight he could not honorably relieve. 1t
hurls him its decision that his course was
nothing less than unjust and unrishteous ac-
ton" in spite of the fact that il was impos-
sibfc for him under his oath to do anything else
and be either just righteous. 1t goes even
10 the length OF using such language as that

to astonishing. There is nothing in the
history of crime in this State much clearer than

is that the escape of Sidna Allen and Wesley

case, to the injury of the administration of JUS
tice. The action OF the governor was needed,
not only because the men were guilty. but be-
cause certain classes, too regardless of the con-
sequences of their acts, should be told in a
language they understand that the guilty
must be and will be punished even IL the PEN
atty is death. This is not because, as the Jour
nal charGes- the governor any other sane per-
expects that good will be accomplished
by the taking of human life" but because 1t
will deter criminals quick to take life with no
such motive guiding them.
The governor deserves to be supported in the
stand he had to take. There other at
titude possible to him except through a viola
ton of his sense of duty and disregard of his
solemn oath to support the laws of the State.
Heaven knows the laws need support, and the
governor is entitled to backing for that very
son.--Charottesville Progress.

The paper filed by Governor Mann when Civ
ing his final answer to the appeal Of the AL
lens for clemency does the governor credit. 1t
is its race temperate statement. He ought
to receive the moral support of the people Of
Virginia in the stand he has taken. We be
lieye he viii. The Leader says this with the
more emphasis for the reason that it has not
been admirer of the governors and has not
been in accord with him on all his public acts.
We in accord with him in this matter
Killing people has become SO comuon in
this country that one is never surprised TO hear
Of homicide; he is greatly surprised when he
hears that a murderer has actually been not
only convicted but punished.
We could have approved a communication to
life imprisonment in the of the younger
man, for he naturally drawn into it, but
cannot doubt the moral effect win be bet
ter II both men pay the penalty.
When men who being tried go armed into
a Virginia court OF justice, where a prisoner
is known to have every safeguard possible
thrown around him, and every right conceded
to him by the constitution of the State jealousy
guarded. he cannot be regarded in any other
light than a criminal at heart, and the pre-
sumption is all against him If any conflict arise.
A calm consideration OF the facts in this case
has been able to destroy this presumption
and IL all sentmentaity is discarded can
not doubt that the Aliens have met just verdict
and will pay just penalty.~-Staunton Leader.
