JUDGE WILLIAMS EXPLAINS

Judge Martin Williams, who
has been a leading and prominent
member of the Virginia body of
lawmakers for years, makes a
statement at length in explana-
ton of his declaration at Roanoke
that he believed he could take
hold of the State government
and so manage it as to save 500
thousand dollars annually. His
statement is too long for our
limited space. Summarized it is
about as follows:
He says that we have too many
Boards of Visitors for our
schools. From the University on
down to the Luarel Industry
we have 25 schools and 200 men
on the Board of Visitors, man.
ayers etc, all of whom are paid
a per diem salary. There are,
beginning with the State Agri-
cultural Department on down
through all the schools and
departments doing agricultural
work, four sets of men, with
clerks, stenographers, agents
ect:, galore, doing the work
which one department might do.
These departments are costing
the State hundreds of thousands
of dollars annually.
The health and medical de-
partments, commencing with
medical school at University,
500 thousand a year. Medical
College of Virginia 5 thousand
dollars, Health Department, board
of Pharmacy, Board of Dental
Examiners, besides experts,
stenographers, clerks ect., en-
tirely too many departments.
A gain. says Mr.. Williams,
there are 119 division superin-
tendents of schools, fifth
wheels in the SYSTEM. The
courts-there are five judges of
the Supreme Court, 81 circuit
judges, % city judges, still we
have a board composed of five
members to examine applicants
for licenses to practice law.
Surely, says Judge Williams,
'..out of So judges enough of the
time of some of them could be
consumed in performing the
duties of this extra board".
Judge Williams concludes his
Interesting article by declaring
that he believes the State has
reached the point in its develop
ment where we can abolish all
direct taxation except from cor
porations. for State purposes,
and require each county and city
to bear its own criminal ex-
penses, and save the State a
great deal of money. 1t is only
fair to presume that there will
be something doing when the
next Legislature meets, and
there ought to be.

tation charges. Now, the point
is, what those women did on a
small scale can be done by the
farmers on a large scale. There
is much talk of cooperation
among farmers, and in many
sections they are cooperating in
many ways. For instance, the
seedsmen make a lower price on
seed potato es in ten barrel lots.
Fertilizers by the car lot come
much cheaper. Three or four
neighbors get together and buy
a gasoline engine and crusher
and make lime for themselves
and their neighbors and use the
engine to drive the thresher,
saw wood, etc., etc. In some
communities, where the land
lies well, a traction engine is
bought and the blowing for the
neighborhood Isl done. Manure
spreaders, stalk cutters, spraying
outfits, etc., etc., can all be
bought by the cooperation plan
and no one farmer be burden ed.
The small farmer, whose acreage
and circumstances will not per-
nit him to buy improved ma
chinery, can come in just as well
as the large farmer. The day OF
cooperation among farmers is
coming-has already come in
many communities. Why not
commence at once. Move around
among your neighbors and find
out how many of them are will
ing to cooperate. In this sort OF
union there is great strength.

The Index-Appeal has no word
of criticism Of Governor Mann
for his refusal to interfere to
prevent the execution Of Floyd
and Claude Allen. We always
said, in urging the governor to
commute the sentences of these
men, that should he decline we
would not complain, 1t is always
to be assumed in cases of this
character that the man in whom
the power to pardon is vested
exercises it conscientiously. We
have no doubt that Governor
Mann has followed the dictactes
of conscience in reaching his
determination to allow the Aliens
to die. 1t is unfortunate that he
was not able to reach a conclu-
sion which we believe the entire
mass of facts surrounding the
case justified. We may add that
it was unfortunate that the
beauties of mercy should make
Il weak appeal to the Christian
governor of a Christian Com
monwealth, than the sterness of
justice, the dignity and majesty

gave evidence in the statement

penalty that he had devoted a
great deal of study TO the case.

Sioux City, Ia, Sept. ao:-Hail to
the queen of babies! Let everybody
salute this dainty mite of humanity
who-for the time being-wears the
regal crown of baby perfection
Catherine Corr of Onawa, la.
y Baby Catherine is the nearest per-
feet specimen of babyhood so far pro-
duced in the world! She lacks just
three-tenths of one per cent of being
absolutely perfect!.
Since this better baby movement
has been given widespread publicity
and great attention, there have been
held hundreds of baby fairs in which
babies were judged and the nearest
perfect awarded prizes.
State after state found nearly per-
feet babies only to learn that other
baby fairs unearthed still nearer per-
feet infants.

The better babies" contest was
the big feature of the interstate live
stock fair held at Sioux City. Nearly
400 of the best youngsters from Iowa,
Nebraska, Minnesota and South Da-
kota entered the contest and were
judged. Sioux City, being the hub be-
tween all these states, drew the pick
of their babies.
Catherine Corr, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. E. D. Corr of Onawa, a.,
was awarded first place, with a per-
centage of 99.7. Up to this time the
highest percentage ever given a baby
was 1886, accredited to Helen Jol-
dersma of Grand Rapids. Mich, at
the Michigan state fair. That makes
Catherine Americas best or near
est perfect baby as far as is now
known.
Catherine Corr is 2 years and. 10
months Of age, and the physician who
examined her declared her to be prac-
ticaly perfect. The set of measure
ments used by all of the big better
babies" contests was used and the
percentage is not a matter of option
with the judges, except in one de-
partment-the mental test where the
child is measured according to it's
quickness of observation.
The Corr baby scored a higher
average than the babies that won the
contests at the Iowa state fair, the
Nebraska state fair, the South Da-
kota and the Minnesota state fairs.
So Iowa, in addition to being first
in corn, hogs, horses and oats, claims
the worlds baby championship.

But London cries are few of them in

VISITOR TAKES STRANGE
FANCY TO HACK DRIVER
GIVES HIM CHECK FOR HUNDRED
DOLLARS AND PROMISES GEN.
ERous REMEMBRANCE IN HIS
WILL.

Phillip Parramore, who came to
the city recently from Jacksonville
and has been in the employ of
Leonardy Brothers, proprietors of
the Halifax Livery and Transfer COM
pany. recently met with a peculiar
piece of good fortune through the
fancy taken to him by a gentleman
who was in the city only from one
day to the next on his way to
Panama. This visitor, whose name
Is stated as A. Freeman and his
place Of residence as East Orange.
N. J.. engaged for few hours the
carriage driven by Parramore and
took such strong interest in the
young man that at the conclusion of
the drive he handed him five dollar
bin and told him to call and see him
before he left the following morning
by boat for Palm Beach. The fol-
lowing morning Mr.. Freeman pre-
scented Parramore with check for
500 and asked him to accompany
him to Panama, further stating that
he could draw on him for any amount
necessary should he later decide to
make the trip.
Parramore also stated to a num-
Der OF people that Mr.. Freeman had
said to him that he intended to pro-
vide generously for him in his will,
the amount varying as the young man
, told it from $4,000 to $4,000
This meeting occurred last week
and the forepart of this week, Par
ramore cashed the check at the
Peoples State bank of this city,
! after wiring the New York bank. on
which it was drawn to see if it
| would be honored. Thursday he bid
his friends here good bye and
boarded train for Jacksonville, say.
ing he expected to pass through here
in a day or two to join Mr. Freeman
in Key West and go with him to
Panama.
A number of persons saw Mr.
Freeman give the check to PARA
more and heard much of the CONVEX
sation in addition to what they were
told by Parramore himself and Their,
has been considerable speculation
over the strange fancy of the oldel
for the younger man, who was ap
parently stranger to him.
