wANTED--A LITTLE FORESIGHT.

The movement for annexation received a dis
tinct impetus yesterday afternoon when the
business men of Richmond who attended the
luncheon at the clubrooms heard with manifest
approval some straight talk on Richmond's de-
linquencies in this particular Richmond was
not boosted at this meeting, except inasmuch
as every knock is boost If that be true, Rich
mond was boosted, and boosted well.
This city has been backward in the matter of
annexation. 1t has not annexed territory 1t
should have annexed, and when it has acted it
has acted too late
1t was pointed out by one Of the speakers yes
terday. as 1t has been pointed out in The VtY-
o8nidn that territory should be taken into the
city before 1t has become improved The city
should see to 1t that proper improvements are
made, the streets laid out in accordance with

Good For Governor Mann

Edftor or The Nfrginian:
Sir-In his decision in the case of the Aliens,
the mountain outlaws, Governor Mann has
shown that he has both courage and brains.
What tide of sckly sentimentality and
hage of rot did our excellent governor have to
Withstand! But he was equal to the task. and in
his strong unanswerable paper gave his reasons
for the course he has taken in the matter. DR..
w. j. 4oungs utterances in a recent sermon on
this subject were excellent. With such a gov
ernor as we have no wonder old Virginia Is
forging ahead. Then think of the success of
the Webb Kenyon bill and aid TO 1t that such
"a splendid man Woodrow Wilson is president
and such man as the peerless Bryan is in his
cabinet-it looks too good 70 be true.

With the spring election only about
three months off. the candidates have
started their clectioneering in South
Richmond.
The voters of the Southside feel n
particular interest in the election Of
a city sergeant and high constable,
this being their first opportunity to
vote for candidates aspiring TO these
offices in Richmond. The last election
of these officers was held a short while
prior to consolidation of Manchester
and Richmond.
Wilbur F. Griggs Is receiving
strong backing on this side of the
river for the position of city sergeant.
while Herbert Mercer is receiving the
Endorsement Of many people to sue
coed himself as constable.

PEOPLES FORUM
The sunragettes Ought to Heed the Lesson.

Editor of The Virgnian:
Sir.-The rude treatment many of the women
inafchers received in Washington the of
the recent inauguration ceremonies in Washing
TON whlle deserving the condemnation of right
thinking people at the same time was a good
lesson for the suffragettes heed. When wo-
men get out of their God given sphere and as
sumo the roll Of the sterner they may nat
urally ana logically expect to come in contact
with the rough element and and hear OBJ
scenity and profanity galore. Nor will they get
much sympathy from sensible folks either. That
sufragette parade was a step the pa of our
women towards the spectacular stunts perform
ed recently in%-ondon. Let good women
take care and stay at home and adorn the family
circle, which is glory enough for any woman.

A Friend of Civilization

Governor Mann has done his part in the
civiltzing of the Southern mountains. His
ton in refusing to commute the sentences of
the two Allen brothers, condemned to die in the
electric chair for their part in the famous Hills
Vile court murder Will receive general and we'll
deserved Commendation. There are pathetic
features connected with the of Floyd and
Claude Allen, but clemency extended to them
now would be false and dangerous manifes-
tation of mercy.
1t is entirely within the bounds OF possibility
that the outlaws, in taking matters Into their
own hands and firing into the courtroom where
the judge sat in the performance OF his duty,
may have believed that their just
one and that their action only justi-
fable but necessary. Something of the spirit
OF fuedalism has survived in the mountain
mans code Of right and wrong. He is governed
in his daily life not SO much by the laws of man
as by what he conCeives to be the law of God /;
and he considers that wrong done him
by another entities him TO the vengeance of
knife or rife. Neither his honor his craving
for revenge Is satisfied by the redress to be oh

News That Would BE Enjoyed.

About the best news could get from Wash
ington would be that somebody other than SEN
ator Simmons, OF North Carolina, would be
chairman OF the finance committee. During his
campaign for denomination last fall Mr.. Sim
mons said that If he not made chairman
of this committee If the Democrats secured con-
troll of the senate he would resign, He always
has been particularly close friend of Senator
Martin but in the contest between Martin and
Kern for the leadership of the Democrats OF
the senate, this long-tim friend of the Virginia
senator deserted him and supported Mr.. Kern.
1t is possible if not probable that this attempt
of the senator from North Carolina to gain the
support of Mr., Kern and his friends in the con-
test for the Craftsmanship of the finance com
mittee will result in his losing it. Is there any
doubt in the mind of anybody as TO which man
has the higher regard of Senator Kern Pc

received by one of the houses sold at
the rate of $4 crate. The market
has been cleaned out of tomatoes for

the south was made. This is probably
the last lot of tomatoes to come in
about June 1. The first large receipts
of Imperial valley cucumbers arrived,
when 80 boxes were received. They

NEW YORK COTTON MARKET

NEW YORK, May 14.-Our cotton
market started off strong under influ-
ence of stronger cables and a practi-
cally dry weather map, but the edge
worked off. A rather more favorable
weekly report than expected with in
dications for precipitation in the east
ern states. induced some short sell
| ing and a considerable volume of liq-
! uidation for recently accumulated short
account. Neill's figures on European
mill stocks showing a decrease of
$4,000 bales as compared with last
year received a bullish construction.
The weather is the controlling feature
and unless fairly general rains with
higher temperatures shall be had in
the next few days a further upturn is
probable.

the furrow is turned it falls over in

The Poetry of Farminu


Campbelrs Farmer: Life in The
country and work on the farm is not
all prose. There is poetry 10 the way
ing wheat and the rustlng corn. What
perfume is equal to that of the new
mOwn hay? What is sweeter than the
clover scented breath Of the kline? And
then what can compare with glory of
the early mornings, the quiet Of the
twilight hours, and the somnolent peace
Of gathering night?
Now fades the glimmering landscape
on he.sight
And all the air a solemn stiffness
holds.
Save where the beetle wheels his dron-
ing flight,
And drowsy tinklings lull the distant
fold"
The richest inheritance a man can
have is the memory of boyhood spent
on the farm within reach of the loving
arms OF nature. The child, like the
primal man, is The true poet-he sees
things as they are, not as they have
been warped and scared by experience
and ruined digestion. We would mol
exchange the experience of the first
sixteen years of our life spent on a
farm in the woods Of Wisconsin for
the wealth Of Rockefeller, nor the
knowledge gained there for a course

that cannot be learned at schOOl-some
things that money cannot buy.
These observations are brought forth
by the following excerpt from a COM
munication on plowng by man who is
personally unknown to us, but whose
life we know has been grand success
lie is farmer and evidently loves the
soil and the things of the soil; and
to be in love with the things about
you is to be happy, and happiness is
success. Listen:

WOOL MARKET

BOSTON, May 1.-THE continued de-
cline in values is the feature of the
domestic wool market. The situation
is regarded as unusually complicate ed
as dealers hesitate to purchase heav-
lily of the new crop, with the tariff
bill still an uncertainty, while the
growers are threatening to make con-
signments unless bids are received.
Unwashed Ohio delaine sold recently
at 22c the lowest in many years, while
q lot of Montana half-blood was trans
feTred at 21c.
More attention is being paid to Texas
woods and a good sale was mada of
eight months at 15c.
Pulled wool is fairly firm. while the
California product is very dull.
