SULXER AT THE BAR

William Sulzer. governor of New York, faces
the court OF impeachment for high crimes and
misdemeanors. His trial has begun and not
only New York. but the whole nation awaits the
verdict with interest
The question has narrowed down now to
that of the guilt or innocence of William Sulzer.
Charles F Murphy may be forgot for a while, for
Charles F. Murphy has been tried and convicted
before the bar Of public opinion and 1t only re-
mains to sentence him and his accomplices.
Two OF them have been executed by the voters
Of upstate New York; Murphy's execution is
set for November unless there should be a
reprieve from the high court of the ballot box.
Just now, however, the people Of New York
ere concerned with Sulzer. Thousands are hop
ing and praying for his acquttal and other
thousands who constrained to believe In
his guilt are hoping that they may be proven
wrong and that the governor will come through
the ordeal unscathed. This is true not so much
because of any great admiration for the man
sulzer, though he has many admirers, but be
cause they know that the conviction OF Sulzer
makes Murphy governor OF New York.
However all should be content to wait Judg'
ment rests with the court impeachment and the
concensus of opinion seems to be that the wait
may be made with confidence in the fairness

judges of the Court of Appeals. Conviction or

Mrs. r B. Valentine, State presi-
dent OF the Equal Suffrage League OF
Virginia, has put her foot down and
even though Mrs. Emmaline Pank-
hurst should be allowed to enter the
United States she will not speak in
Virginia under the auspices Of the
league.
1t all came about by the action Of
the Equal Suffrage League OF Nor
folk, in discussing plans for inviting
the famous English militant to ad-
dress the league of that city. The
discussion went along smoothly ana
the suffragists of the seaport village
were beginning to believe that II all

that Emmaline Is not an undesirable

cided that she would write Mrs. VAL

State president did not think much.
Mrs Valentine doubted the expedteHey

sit is a question Of expediency.
Would her coming help or hinder the

newspaper In Virginia with tiresome
criticisms and forebodings."
So Emmy will pass Norfolk ana

| Mrs. Valentine believes that the
way to get votes for women In Vir-

ginia suffragists sympathize with the
cause in England, of course. and are
more tolerant in their opinion even
OF the miltants than are those who
are frankly hostile to the cause, but
they do not condone some of the
methods and think it wiser not to
give ground for criticism by showing
Mrs. Pankhurst too much honor.
Moreover. they have their own ideas
as to how the ballot Is to be won In
Virginia. They plan to educate the
people and then trust TO them to act.

Louisa Booth at State Fair

We publish elsewhere, in issue of this
week, an urgent appeal from Mr.. j. H. Quisen-
berry county demonstration, to the citizens of
the county to cooperate with him in making
the Louisa booth at the coming State fair one
of which may all feel proud There is moth
ing which is of greater qualification to the
visitor the big fair, than to his own
county well represented, and nothing which
makes him feel quite as much ashamed to
see a booth, which he knows is not represen-
tative of his county held up to the public
the best his county could do.
There viii be thousands of visitors to the
State fair this fall who vitally interested
in farming, and who will view the various
county exhibitions with deeper interest than
any other attractions and who Will Judge the
counties and their people largely by the COM
parative merits of their booths. If the Louisa
booth is the best of the best, they will
hunt up their friends and take them to see
what they consider the best booth at the fair
and they will tell everybody to go and see It,

ured in dollars and cents. but II is bound TO be

South Must be On Guard

Amongst the 100000 people in the South
there about 1000 saloons In Chicago, with
little over 100000 population, there are
about s, 900 saloons and In New York city. with
population of 5000, 600, there are about Zooeo
saloons Hence find that the two cities
Of Chicago and New York have four times as
many saloons the entire South with four
times the population. Now and then few
saloons or dspensaries are voted back into the
South but SO few and far between are they
that the victories afford little consolation TO the
liquor traffic.
But in this fact lies danger to Dixie.

Numbers of States in the North and West have
