Up TO THE VOTER NOW.

Tuesday the electorate Of Virginia will be
called up to exercise the most important duty
that falls to the lot of the Americanthe exer-
else OF the right of suffrage.
Each voter must face the individual respon-
slbllity OF how he shall cast his ballot. The
campaign has developed the merits AMI dement's
OF the respective candidates, and the evidence Is
all in 1t remains for the citizens Of
sovereign State to select the men who are to
preside over the destinies Of the State for two
years to come and who will probably have much
influence in shaping It's future.
For the highest Office within the gift OF the
people-the goyernorship-the die has been cast
In favor Of one Of natures noblemen, who will
preside Its executive with wisdom and with
efficiency. So, too. with the State treasurer and
the superintendent of public instruction, the pres
ent officials, who have served the State faithfully
and we'll succeeding themselves without oppo-
sition. But there is lieutenant governor, an
attorney general and n commissioner OF agri-
culture to elect and for each Office there is more
than one candidate. II Is the prerogative OF the
voters to say who are the best men for these
Offices
IT is hardly necessary to add that personalities
should not be allowed to figure In the equation.
Each voter must look the situation squareiy in
the face, and after a personal investigation OF
the candidates, vote for the man he thinks will
best subserve the interests of the Commonwealth,
for the State comes first. Whatever Ia good
for the State Is good for Its citizens. The Vir

SERIOUS SIDE TO BANANA TAX.

In line with what The Vtrginidn had to say the
other day regarding the apparent unjust and
uncaed for tax on bananas, the New Orleans
Picavune calls attention to another feature of
the situation which ia an even more serious
side. and that Is the fact that the tax promises
to raise a storm OF Indignation in the Central
Americans countries. as 1t should.
The only excuse that the Picay,tne can see for
imposing tax of 6 cents bunch on this ia.
in solving the problem OF the high cost of living
Is that the persons engaged In the importation
of the fruit are growing rich too fast, and ut Is
contrary to the policy OF the New Democracy to
grow rich"
But the serious aspect OF the situation is that
while this policy may be all right for the party,
1t may not turn out 10 be so good for the coun-
try's commercial interests. The Central Ameri-
can countries, threatened with tariff tax on a
product which is one OF their chief articles OF

gain. and all due to an apparently inexcusable,
unexplained freak OF the tariff trainers.

SPINNERS URGE FARMERS
NOT TO MIX COTTON
Value Of Bale Deprecated
Thereby

Washington, D. c., July 14.-Secre-
tary Houston, of the department of ag-
riculture, received a protest today
from the Manchester, (Eng) Cotton
Association against the practice GER
tain American ginners have of mixing
various staple cottons in the same
bale. You will appreciate" says the
letter of protest, the serious conse-
quences that this growing practice
must have upon the quality of the Am
erican crop, thereby effectively reduc-
ing its monetary value
Secretary Houston is urged to make
representations to the cotton exchang-
es of the South, asking them to inform
the ginners Of the necessity of keeping
different seed cottons of various sta
Piles separate and not to gin different
qualities together.
At the department it was pointed aut
that the trouble was due largely to the
Discrimination of the American ginner
to take the time after ginning one
kind Of cotton to clean out the ginning
machine before he introduces another
staple. 1t was said that the value of =
bale is often lessened from 81 50 to 81
by resultant mixture of grades.
