New York-Officers of the Cunard
liner Pannonia, arriving here from
Trieste, report that miniature Bal
kan war occurred aboard almost con-
tinuously during the twenty-six days
voyage. Among the steerage passen-
gers were several hundred ex-volun-
teers, Greeks, Servians, Bulgarians,

these hostile factions in the first few
days resulted in several combatants

Is This
Loyalty to arty

We very much interested in reading an
ingenously contrived editorial in the Richmond
Times Dispatch of Saturday on virginia. ms
Without Party" in the course of which the
writer relates what he terms an incident
which he says is typical of what he has called
the new Virginia spirit and expresses the half
realized yearning of the people for govern
ment that will do for them what State gov
ernments have done elsewhere"
The incident in question was q purported
colloquy among three men, scientific far
mer recently removed to Virginia from the
West; the second the manager Of a large estate
in Orange county. and the third unidentified
man dissatisfied with the Virginia political con-
ditions. The manager of some thousands of
acres presumably the Orange county man, is
quoted HIS saying; We have party. The far
mer is told to be a Democrat and to vote for
Democrats and he finds that his interests are
secondary to the personal wishes at his own
hired servant In the legislature. To this the
visitor presumably the Englishman, Is quoted
as retorting: We'll. things are changing. In
a little while there will be a progressive Demo-
crasic group and a conservative group. If you
will help the progressives you will have a
party. The day know there Is a real party Of
democracy ready to the people honestly
and efficiently. / will take out naturalization
papers. TILL now / have never felt that voting
was worth while
To our surprise, the Richmond paper, pre-
sumed to be the leading newspaper in the
State, and-ere- which undertakes TO dictate the
policies and the candidates of the Democratic
party, makes no denial, enters no objection to
the ideas quoted and in effect gives its tact
assent to the truth of the statements OF the two
protestants. Here is its comment and all OF 1t:
CIVIC say nothing AZ TO the right or wrong
Of this viewpoint. We say nothing as to the
need for two parties We take no position on
this conception of the Democratic party What
we do say is that If there is a sentiment among
the farming backbone and wealth OF Virginia
that they not represented and have no
party, then something Is radically and terribly
wrong
Why is our contemporary silent Has 1t no
information on the subject discussed? Has it
not opinion? If il knows anything
as to the right or wrong of the viewpoint 1t de-
fines. ought 1t not to speak out? Does II not
know that II what 1t il pleased to term the

TAXING BACHELORS.

One feature of the income tax bill, as amended
by the senate has excited less interest than
might have been expected and at the same time
has aroused but little opposition. For years
there has been talk of taxing bachelors but 1t
has always been considered merely the talk of
irresponsible radicals and devotees Of freak
legislation. Yet the senates amendment to the
house income tax measure Is essentially that.
Married men are especially provided for and ad-
fathers of families for while bachelors are ex-
empted from taxation UP to $4,000 only. married
men with children exempted up to $4,000.
The married man would get $4,000 exemption
in his own right, as every other man who has
an income Then he would be allowed $1,000
additional exemption for his wife, unless she was
self-supporting. He would get another $500 ex-
emption for each OF his children up to $1,000.
If the wife was enjoying an independent in
come in excess of $4,000 she would be required
to pay taxes upon it.
Thus single is Disseminated against.
He would be compelled to pay taxes upon all
income above $4,000. while the married man
with two or more children would have to pay
only on his income above $4,000.
This. of course, amounts to a tax on bachelors.
in that he would have to pay more than the
married man.
The theory on which this discrimination is
made is that man who supports a wife and
family is a better citizen and more valuable one
than the man who has shirked that RESPONSE
is ahl frp
orally speaking the theory II sound, although

farming backbone and wealth Of Virginia are
mot represented and have no party. II II purely,
simply and solely their own fault? II II nd
mitted that one OF the critics Is alien who
has never become a naturalized citizen; that
another Is a Westerner unfamiliar with our
State government and with our people and our
institutions. II these men who do not vote and
other farmers do not vote and assert their In
fuence in the State and local governments,
whose fault is 1t and who is responsible? The

wards and most ineffectively when he refuses

The wise and logical course for man who be-
lieves as he does is to become a citizen ana
acquire and exert an influence. If there be any
'virginians without party" politically II is
there fault and the responsibility rests
solely upon them.
1t appears evident to us that the whole pur-
pose of the editorial Is to undermine the Demo-
cratic party in Virginia by making 1t appear
that 1t Is an ineffective party out OF sympathy
with the agricultural classes and especially with
the thrifty classes. We challenge and deny
that statement If IT be true let us nave e some %re
ginia embraced in the agricultural CLASS
for our rural exceeds our urban population. Our
Richmond contemporary, which mas never peen
loyal to the party to which it processes allegiance
is always striving to lead revolt to create or
to foster factional division, and IN the eaitorlal
quoted Is insiduously and artfully trying TO
create discomfort and to make the farmer be-
lieve that the Democratic party OF Virginia, COM
posed in the main OF farmers, Is not In sympathy
with that element. What have the owners OF
the paper done to entite them to be spokesman
for or interpreters of the sentiment or the lar
mers of Virginia? We cannot now recall an
instance in which a. decisive majority OF the
voters of the counties have not been out OF
sympathy with the Times-Dispatch politicaiiy
That paper is generally the organ OF d'ssrun,
tied minority whose grievances when submitted
to the people of the State at large are dis-
missed as groundless. If our contemporary de-
sres strong opposition party in Virginia, II
has not the courage OF convictions and may II
not say so plainly and frankly and give IT'S
reasons for its positionsf 1t is neither FRANK
nor courageous while protesting allegiance to
party to be steadily and disngenuousiy hgnt-
ing that party
We deny that the Virginia Democracy IS not
liz thorough sympathy with the farming ee-
ment in Virginia. 1t may not be In sympathy
with the individual views of the Englishman, the
westerner and the other unnamed Director But
we DENY that these three protestants. whoever

lcracy-Danville Register.
