A Home For Inehriates.

There has been suggestion to turn the cpl
leptic colony plant at Lynchburg into home for
inebriates, leaving the epileptics In the various
hospitals.
The State ought TO have a home for inebriates.
1t is pressing. crying demand. Large part
OF the space that might be given to people who
have lost their reason is given to men who
are sent to the hospitals insane, and who
simply need home where they be kept
from liquor for awhile, to restore them to normal
condition. II would be capital idea to use the
plant at Lynchhurg for this purpose. There
never was any real need for the plant for cpl
leptics, as it would have been easy simply to
erect another building or two some one OF the
plants for the insane, and the epileptics might
have been cared for just well at Lynch
burg. and at less than one-tenth, perhaps of the
initial cost, and at less permanently be-
cause of concentration of management and 'ad
ministraton.
But the plant at Lynchburg has been estab-
itshed at an immense unnecessary cost to the
State, and still have home for the in
ebriates- Let the plant be changed into a home
for this class, as suggested, and let the insane
hospitals erect buildings needed to care for
the epleptics.--Staunton Leader.

preliminary step, had touched" each of his rever-
end hearers without the execution of any GYM

peculiar appropriateness in cultivating rightly
of knees In preachers
The general advice was to eat apples. plenty

onion diet that the tendency of It would be to
encourage the pastor to much solitary meditation

Are You "A Political
Nonentity?
Are You a Political Nonentity?


There is great movement going on in the
city OF Richmond, and. in fact, over the entire
State, to urge upon the unqualified voters of
Virginia. especially the young men, the necessity
and duty to qualify and exercise the right Of
franchise.
In recent editorial the Richmond Virginan
refers to the unqualified voter in the following
forceful language:
Who cares. anyway. what they want or do
not want? Who whether they favor this
man or that or this policy that? Who cares
what their political views are or what they think
about any phase of city or State government"
The answer Is: No one. They political
nonentites. Their wishes are considered no
more than the wishes of the Inhabitants Of the
South Sea islands by the politicians. and how
much they are considered by the officeholder
depends altogether the character of the office
holder. with whose selection they have nothing
to do. If high-m minded man is chosen by those
who have the choice, he will consider the wishes
OF all the people. but he will consider more the
wishes of those who have considered themselves
worthy enough to become voters. If he be high
minded 1t is not the work of the disfranchised
that he has been elevated to office. 1t is with.
out them. and. so far as they are concerned.
matter of chance.
do any of those twelve thousand men who
have placed themselves in the position of politi-
cal outcasts care that their Indifference has put
them in this position? Do they wish to become
again factors in the city and State government?
Do they wish to have to pay their poll taxes
which they owe whether they wish to vote or
not, and then take few additional moments of
their time to register"
Do the people of Louisa county realize that at
the last presidential election there were only
$40 votes cast for all candidates? And this
small vote from county with population of
over 10000 Do you realize that the smaller
the vote the more easily it Is bossed and con-
trolled? And you people OF the county who are
always complaining about the way in which
county and State affairs are managed do YOU
think that they will ever become better as long
as SO many of our citizens sulk and will not do
their duty in voting for what they think right
and against what they think is wrong?

vote for your candidate for the legislature next
