lawyers of the State when appointed
to the Bench, June IL. 1897
"His legal opinions as a judge are
evidence of his accurate knowledge
of law, of the independence of his
judgment and the courage of his con-
victions.
"In 1855 about the time Judge
Spruance entered upon the practice
of his profession the slavery ques-
ton then enlisted every man upon
one side or the other of that great
controversy. Nowhere was the mettle
of American manhood more severely
tried than in the borderland of which
Delaware was a part. Judge Spru-
ance's strong sense of right and JUS
tice caused him unhesitatingly to op-
pose the existence of slavery and its
extension into the territories of the
| United States. Such conduct severed
! friendships and divided families.
when the slave controversy
ceased to be a political question and
eliminated in the war for the dissolu-
tion of the union. Judge Spruance
threw his strong and courageous per-
sonality and the whole weight Of his
I character and ability in the cause for
/ the preservation OF tue unloH
Throughout the many years that
fell to his part as man, citizen, law
yer and Judge he upheld the best
traditions of the bar and of the bench,
and of the citizenship of this state.

ness of years. Like as a shock of corn
cometh in, in his season.
Herbert H. Ward seconded the
adoption of the resolution and re-

HE WAS aTROLIEY PROOF.,

The saying that "things amt what
they uster was" is true if an accident
of last night is a criterion. Il has
been the custom of trolley cars to
MAIN people but this rule was broken
last night by a man who. staggering
across Eighth and Market walked di-
rectly into a car. He was knocked
down and those who witnessed the ac-
cident thought he was seriously in
jured. They we're mistaken. however,
for the man calmly got up and walk
ed away as III nothing out of the or
binary had happened. His name was
not learned.

EFFICIENCY OR SOMETHING ELSE.

1t was efficiency of the highest type that made
the Standard Oil the marvellous industrial tnsti-
tuition and money maker 1t was, and that ITS
constituent parts still are today. Ii was EN-
cheney that made the Steel corporation so pow
erful and productive. il was efficiency that
made the railroads of this country the best in
the world, that gave our universities their high
standing and that made the American working
man tho best paid and most envted industrial
factor of all the Iands--Ieslie's Weekly.
1t was not efficiency much as lax laws and
the violation of those which existed that made
the Standard Oil company money maker. 1t
was the same thing that made the Steel corpora
ten SO powerful and productive 1t was not
efficiency at all that made the railroads OF this
country the best In the world, for they are
not the best In the world.
Presidentelect Wilson answered all such talk
as this INDUCED in by LesIie's and other blind
exponents of the doctrine of laissez faire when
he said that big corporations built up by eff
cheney are inevitable, bat that the trusts were
not built up, but artihcally created

be held at Norfolk Friday, and viii he attended

the governors OF eleven States men who have

practitioners who have made special study of

their time and influence to the organization of
leagues In all the States where the maIarial germ
and the mosquito flourish, the object being the
determination and prevention of the maady.
The tsdewater section OF Virginia is afflicted

WORK FOR THE ASSEMBLY.

If there is one thing morally certain In the
scheme of human events 1t is that the next
general assembly of Virginia will be called upon
for sweeping and general revision OF the States
tar laws, which admittedly about the worst
extant.
If the assembly does nothing else but this
ii will have deserved the everlasting gratitude
of the people. and nothing else In the way of
legislation should be attempted until the tax
laws are standardized and made possible of in
teIiigent construction. The mortgage tax law
should be repealed and so should the statute
which imposes tax on bank deposits Both are
unreasonable and unjust. There are other tax
laws that should be repealed too and probably
all OF them viii stand reyamping.
1t is no easy task that is set for the general
assembly and the people of Virginia will stand
for nothing short of thorough revision, and q

WHERE VIRGINIA HEADS.

Virginia is the only State IN the South~-so
far as The Vtrainiun is aware in the union
which maintains the practice Of conducting
special farm institute trains, manned by ex-
perts, for the purpose Of reaching the farmers
In their OWE bailiwicks and intoxicating the
theory and practice of modern farming methods.
These experts do not spend the time allotted
to them at the various stations at which the
train stops induiging In high-fown adjectives
and technical statements which would float over
the heads Of their hearers, but get down to prao-
teal heart.to-heart talks; discuss ways and
means and point ont practical. tried and tested
methods applicable to the soil and the climate
in which their hearers live and farm and have
their being. And they answer all the questions
nut to them, and demonstrate the faith thatsfs
In them with the exhibits of farm products and
Fertilizers and such other object lessons as drive
home their logic.
The farmers are manifesting intense interest
in these farm institute specials, many OF them
1curneying as far as ten miles in Indictment
weather at times to meet the train and gain
aueh knowledge of their, business these ex-
perts can impart. The railroads themselves
realize the great and permanent value Of this
work for they are furnishing, free of charge
to the department of agriculture, the trains used
In this work Better educated farmers more In
telligent farming, means great deal in the
upbuilding of the sections traversed by the rail-
roads--it means great deal more to the, pros

PEOPLES FORUM


Editor The Virgnian:
Sir-~~I have not had the pleasure of hearing
any OF DR. McDaniels sermons on The Bible
in the PUBLIC schools" but have read the re-
ports in the papers and talked with those who
had attended his preaching. III the reports
that have come TO me are correct, l think the
doctor Is assuming very strange and awkward
position for minister OF any denomination OF
the Protestant Church, and / would like to
know whether how far he represents the
sentiments or his church in the matter.
He says that Ito understand the question one
must be willing TO lay aside sentimentality.'
II seems TO me that in this the doctor is asking
too much of OF what use is sentiment II
we are TO lay 1t aside every time important
question is discussed? The Baptists, the Meth
Aodist. the Disciples, indeed. every school Of
thought and theology, IL iaboring TO create SEN
timcnt, and yet the drst thing the doctor de-
