The Richmond Virgnan, in a lengthy. well
conceived editorial. labors to answer its own
question: What Is "a ring in Virginia, and
where Is It and wherefore and why?" and
says nobody will locate 1t point II out

or details" and finally concludes tina, perhaps
ed Office by simple, old fashioned process Of
receiving votes than their rivals: and
that gloomy but valiant warriors against the
ring frequently citizens who desire office
or have been defeated for 1t, in the painful
but familiar way Of failure to command sum
lcient votes" lust And the Clinch Valley
News has more than once stated its con-
cluston. the fellows the outside who want
on the inside find little difficulty in discovering
"a ring somewhere that should be kicked out.
but silent and dumb when asked to pro-
duce facts, names etc.
Perhaps the only serious outcome OF such
lcriticisms and charges being made by
the Times Dispatch and few other great
lreformers, will be TO discourage the valiant
Democrats of the Ninth district. who have
borne long the heat and burden OF the day
against great odds. Republican papers want
no better material than is furnished by certain
Democrats who candidates for ONCE. and
certain Democratic newspaper as WELL These

The action OF certain Episcopal ministers OF
Richmond In opposing the Operation OF the
resolution adopted by The Diocesan Council u
Virginia calling ON ciergymcn of the Protestant
Episcopal church of Virginia TO require Of In
tending brideyrooms a certificate from the fam-
lily physician Of the bride that he Is free from
Diseases OF immoral origin. 10 surprising. 1t Is
not thought that any clergyman would object
TO carrying out the provisions Of such resolu-
ton. 1t seems TO us that the ministers who
do object base objection almost entirely upon
the ground that such a policy would be humiliat-
ing to the bridegroom. that many would not
consent with the result that they either would
forego marriage would have the ceremony
performed by q Justice of the peace. But 1t is
ervc to refuse to obtain such certificate and
equally hard to believe that any young woman
Of sense would marry man who objects to sub
hitting himself to such examination"
The idea OF humiliating a prospective bride
groom by such requirement as that proposed
against objection to the plan that we can
conceive. AS have been at pains to point
out, who stand the eugenc test or
fitness need fear IT. and 1t seems to us he would
rather welcome it. But suppose, for instance,
young afnanced to n sweet. oGre young
woman baked at submitting to the eu2cnic Mt
ness test, It would be tantamount to proclaim
Ing his unftness IL the young woman were
willing to wed the man before Justice OF the
peace II would be construed that she vas will
ing to wed the regardless OF his freedom
from communicable disease of immoral origin
and that her people were willing for her to risk
her happiness thus.
The attitude of some OF the churches in wait
ing Tor legislation to provide such test as a
condition precedent to marriage seems to us to
be a strange Sinking OF duty and responsibility
by the churches so viewing the matter III is
their opportunity and their obligation to mould
public opinion, rather than to await II in such
g. matter and merely accept Its provisions

PROFESSOR JoRDAN's STATEMENT.

Having taken occasion to register an emphatic
dissent from Professor Jordans views on The
race question and having pointed out that be
not only advocated miscegenation in his sentence
declaring that the aspirations of the mulatto to
be White should be encouraged but that no other
conclusion could be drawn from his article, The
Virginian is glad to publish Professor Jordans
explanation as contained In letter to the Lynch
burg Meas.
I'm view of what / have said, l think that
dspassonate rereading of my entire article

intermarriage OF mulattoes and negroes. Now
that the statement that the negro aspires be
muatto and the mulatto to be white and that in

fortunate. To interpret this meaning that In
termarriage between the white and the negro
should be encouraged, contradicts. however. all

BURLESON's ORDER STANDS.

The order OF Postmaster General Burleson in
creasng the size OF parcels and reducing the
rates In the first and second zones Of the parcel
post service will be allowed to stand by the SEN
ate postofce committee. In spite OF the efforts OF
Senators Bryan Democrat. and Bristow. a
Progressive. Just what these two senators have
In mind and why they should be fghting the
order OF the postmaster Ia something they have
not explained. That Burleson is Democratic
postmaster is probably enough for Bristow and
Bryans trouble may be that he believes the
postmaster general has too much power. however
wisely he may exercise It, At any rate It seems
to have been determined by the committee that
Burleson did not exceed his authority In making
the order and that the change in size of packages
was for the good OF the service.
The order seems to be a wise one. 1t will
prove OF benefit to the public *and II Mr..
Burleson's calculations are correct II will not
result IN a loss to the government The postmas-
ters explanation clear and probably had a
great deal to do with the decision of the COM
mittee.

The epidemic Of hog cholera
which has been devastating the
swine herds in Iowa and Mimi
esOta has now reached this part
of the country, and quite an
alarming exhibitiono Of the disease
has been in evidence in the
country east of Wilmot. Dr..
Linse was called up there last
week. and inoculated a number
Of the animals affected with a
serum, and those vacinated have
recovered from the disease. The
doctor had such call for inoculat-
ion that he has run out of the
serum but has ordered another
supply. But one or two cases of
the disease have been reported
in this county SO far, but it
may be that farmers had better
get prepared to battle with the
disease.

BRIEF TREATISE ON HOG CHOLERA
BY DR.. J. +. Linse, Deputy State
Veterinarian.

Hog cholera is an acute febule
decease which is characterized BY ex-
IRENE contagiOusness and q very high
death rate. 1t ccurs in two forms
D namely the acute and chronic. In the
acute form the disease is sudden in it's
Q lset and rapid in its course, whereas
IN he chronic form, affected nOgs
finger for weeks or months before
death or recovery. The germ or
microbe which causes cholera is pres
ent IN the blood Of sick hogs and also
Ia the exeretiOns, particularly in the
urine. The germ is SO small or else
OF such structure that it cannot be
e with strongest microscope.
Cholera can be started in a herd only
by introducing the germ which causes
it. IL has been shown in the vast mai.
GRITTY Of cases, this germ is tr IAN spOrted
mechanically, in the bodies OF sick
hogs and on the feet of men or animals
including birds. The enforcement Of
a complete quarantine is however,
not practicable under the average
farm conditions and the best that can
be hoped for is the lessening of the
opportunity for Infection by placing
he herd on q part of the farm that
will be the least accessible to men or
an in ais from other farms. All newly
purchased stock should be kept
separate from the main herd for at
least 30 days. The general health OF
the herd should be carefully looked
after The hogs should have clean,
dry sleeping places and the lots and
feeding troughs should be kept clean.
1t is we'll occasionally to SC latter slaked
lime about the lots and to wash and
disinfect the troughs. The best dis
enfectant for this purpose is the COM
pound solution of Cresol, ~. s. P.).
which q be prepared ct any drug
store. ] part of this should be mixed
with 30 parts water, and trOughs scrub
bed with it. Dead hogs should be
burned and buried deep with quick
lime, the litter should be collected and
burned and lime scattered freely over
the ground. The sh .ds and hog houses
should be thoroughly wssheo with the
above mentioned disinfectant. There
is no med icine which can be regarded
as a cure for cholera but it Is q good
idea to improve the general health OF.
the hogs by giving them . good con.
dition powder, the prescription for
wh ich may be obtained from any
veterin arian. Probably the best pre-
ventitave is to vaccin ate the hOgsla as
there can be no doubt that If used
properly an in the early period Of an
outbreak Of hog cholera it will effect
a very large saving.
