Currency bill Assured.

Information from Washington is to the effect
that the debate in the Senate Monday made It
clear that there Ia to be final adjournment
of the extraordinary session OF Congress until the
currency reform bill has been disposed of by
the Senate. The President himself has voiced
publicly his earnest wish that the currency bill
shall be enacted during the extra session and
with the least delay compatible with due and
orderly consideration.
Senator James Hamilton Lewis, of Illinois, the
Democratic Senatorial whip has served notice
that what he terms the invisible board of con-
troll meaning certain banking interests of New
England and elsewhere. which have sought and
stll striving to block legislation on this
measure, shall not coerce the Senate into mac
ton. He undoubtedly expresses the conviction
of the majority of his colleagues in the Senate,
Certain powerful banking interests have virtual
~ served notice that such bill shall he passed
unless they permitted to re-wTite II to suit
their Ideas. The announcement by Senator Lewis
Is in the nature of notice served by the Demo-
cratic party that 1t will not be coerced in any
such manner That means ultimately and In
evtably the enactment OF the administration cur
rency bill and its APPROVAL by the President thus
clearing the way for the consideration OF the
great appropriation bills and other measures

GIANT POTATOES
GROWN BY WOMAN
SHE SHOWS MERE MEN FARMERS
WHAT CAN HE DONE ON
HENRIC0 SOIL

That one does not have to go out
aide of Henrico county TO raise fine
crops Is amply demonstrated by the
great Irish potatoes grown four and
n half miles east OF Richmond by Mrs.
Alma Culp, who sent a sample of her
crop to the State department of agri-
culture Just to show what sort of farm .
ing a woman can do on Henrico soil.
OF the sample received by the de-
partment each OF the potatoes weighs
one pound and Ave ounces and about
four of them Ill q peck measure. One
would make meal for an average
family
What Is more. Mrs. Culp made ESQ
bushels to the acre of these fine pota-
toes, which In considered splendid
farming. At the prevailing price OF
the tubers Mrs. Culp's crop is worth
about $725 per acre. though these big
potatoes will probably bring top
notch price on the market on account
of their size and the fine variety.
Mrs. Culpa has adopted scientific
methods of farming and is showing the
farmers of Virginia what a woman can
do for the uplift of agriculture.

NO CHANCE FOR
VIRGINIA JUDGE
COMMERCE COURT JUDGES
AVAILABLE WHEN CIRCUIT
COURT DOCKET HEAVY.

All hopes that Virginia might have
had of securing the appointment OF n
native son as an additional judge of
the Fourth judicial circuit. which has
been talked OF and urged for some
years. was blasted by the passage by
congress of the urgent deficiency bill
merce court but retaining the Ave cir
cult judges of the court in ONCE.
Should the docket OF the Fourth cir
cult now become crowded 1t will be
next to impossible to appoint an addi-
,ional Judge from Virginia as the Ave
judges of the former commerce court
will be available for duty and can be
plaed temporarily on the circuit to
relieve the pressure. For this reason
several of the Virginia congressman
opposed the working of the clause
abollshing the court. but retaining the
judges as Circuit court judges.
When Judge Nathan r. Con- re-
signed to become United States sena-
tor from West Virginia, Virginian
was urged as his successor, as this
State is the only one of the four COM
prising the circuit who has not had q
Judge on the bench, but Judge Woods.
OF South Carolina was named.
An effort was then made to increase
the number of Circuit court judges
and bill to that effect was intro
duced into the senate by Senator Chill
ton, of West Virginia. There Is no
chance Of it's passage now as any
one of the commerce court Judges
will be available when the docket
becomes crowded

PRETTY WOMEN, ETC.

Norman Hapgood has many causes for not
liking this world and for many years has been
doing his best to improve matters. For this
he is entitled to all the satisfaction he can get
out Of 1t, and to credit where he succeeds In his
aim but 1t Is not alone The Virgintdn which will
part company with him when he criticises the
interest men take In pretty women.
In the most recent issue of Harper's Weekly,
Mr. Hapgood takes up this question and while
he handles 1t gingerly. 1t is easy to read be-
tween the lines and learn that he is not fully
satisfied with things they are. The ancient
Greeks he tells us. were as much interested in
the beauty of men as In the beauty of women,
statement which reserve the privilege to
doubt and mourns the fact that In these modern
times manly beauty is altogether forgot
However. We have excuse. In fact, we have
several of them. There were beautiful women
In the days Of Socrates. but they were not as
beautiful as those of today, nor numerous.
Moreover. slit skirts and diapanous gowns were
unknown then. The Greek women. occasions.
could wear as few clothes as the modern beauty.
but they were not worn In way to excite
curiosity.

With the State Press
Tribute to Underwood.

There Is prospect that Mr.. Underwood
will ere long retire from the sphere of activity
TN which he is the most conspicuous figure.
simultaneously with the enactment into law Of
the tariff policy to advocacy Of which ali the
years Of his public career have been primarily
devoted, he exercises a desire to be transferred
TO the Senate to fill vacancy in the representa-
ton Of Alabama This announcement has called
forth regretful comment from newspapers Of all
shades of political opinion; all voicing recog
milton of the eminent talents of Mr.. Underwood
and deploring the loss To that branch OF congress
of all the requisites of successful leadership as
are rarely found united in one person. Many Of
them, however, think to a more brilliant flu
ture for Mr. Underwood II retaining the position
he now adorns in the popular branch of Con-
gress. than should he accept doubtful promotion
TO the chamber called upper" but which they
say, has often proved the grave of presidential
ambitions rather than a stepping stone to their
realization. They cite the instances of Calhoun,
Clay. Webster. Douglas and Blaine. forgetting
that Monroe, John Quincy Adams. Andrew Jack
son. Van buren,, Franklin Pierce and James
Buchanan. each and all. wore the toga previous
to induction to the White House
But be that as 1t may If Mr.. Underwood cher
ishes presidential aspirations for the future. We
think his friends may safely trust his fortunes
to that we'll balanced judgment which has SO far
shaped course singularly free from mistakes.
/ Reside that, we think that who has placed
his party and country under such heavy obiiGa-
tons for services rendered has earned the right
TO decid5 for himself the reward he prefers Ger
tain it Is that whenever Oscar Underwood may
be placed in the public employ he Will. as In
the past, find the way, make one, for useful
activity, and place his duty to the country and
people above any consideration of political adj
vancement personal gain. We take for grant
ed that Alabama will have no hesitation in be

More Work for Goctllals.

The Panama Canal the greatest engineering
achievement of times, perhaps OF all
times, is rapidly approaching completion. Soon
the inter~oceanic waterway will be opened to
the commerce of the world. What shall be done
with Goethals and his competent corps of en-
gneers and assistants who have gained so much
valuable experience the isthmus and what
shall be done with the improved machinery
that has been employed in the work? Shall the
machinery go to the scrap pile and the men
retire from public view? The answer is a de-
cided negative. There's work enough in this
country to employ the and machinery for
years to come There's the great Mssss ppi
river which every spring and autumn mandates,
threatens to inundate. many thousands of the
most fertile acres on the continent, involving
an annual loss of millions of dollars,
1t is beyond the power of the States acting
separately to control the mighty volume OF
water The task must be undertaken by the
Federal government. 1t is not an impracti-
cable undertaking, but 1t is estimated that 1t will
cosa initial expenditure of fifty sixty MIL
lions Of dollars and an annual Appropriation to
keep the work in order. There is job waiting
for the men and the machinery no longer needed
at Panama There is another job scarcely less
important demanding attention. It is estimated
that there are in these Southern States IS, 900
square miles of swamp lands that might be
deemed by drainage They useless for
agricultural purposes and breeders of malaria
If drained. they would become wonderfully pro
ductiwe and furnish support for millions of
industrious cultivators Why should not the
Federal government undertake this work which
would practically add TO our territory an area
twice as large Virginia an achievement which
would be far more valuable than the acquisition
of similar IN other part OF the

CURRENT COMMENT
. CAPTAIN OF the NoltIrno.

One thing that stands out splendidly in the
Volturno disaster where those antagonstic ele-
ments. fire and water made grim alliance
against human life. is the bravery and fidelity
of the captain. All accounts give praise to his
calm and unselfish ge.and to the manhood
and elf-possession which he displayed under
circumstances calculated TO shake tho frmest
nerves. But for him and his officers the panic
would probably have been far worse and the ia
talities more numerous The world is always
ready to take off It's hat to captains who are
real captains in time of need whether on land or
sea And the captain OF the Nolturrc takes
his place among those who have been ready to
perform a great service In q great emergency.
