FIGHTING, WHEN OTHERS ARE THE TAR
GET

Some Richmond papers are meddling in Nor
ing staff correspondent TO that city to put
biased phase on the local political campaign
there What else could he have been sent for?
Not satised with drubbing Richmond, the first
city in the old Commonwealth, newspaper inter
ests here must further befoul the home nest by
exploiting what they find {and cannot find) bad
in the second city of Virginia. The people and
papers of Norfolk, to our way OF thinking, are
fully competent to take care of their own
troubles and manage their own affairs, without
outside meddling and. probably. misrepresenta-
ton.
Where Is their Wanted plea of local self govern
ment these journals set up when submission" is
mentioned Consistency" has been worn
threadbare and flung to the winds by them. If
any one thing lis purely local and affects the
rest of the State little it is the matter of selecting
officials that perform over city alone.
But these papers are spelling for fight" as
they Spoiled" In Richmond's municipal manage
ment Yes. spelling for fight, Maybe they
will yet get Tin another Quarter-where
quarter" will be asked by them.
Would Richmond influences dare invade Roa
noke, or Lynchburg, or Danville, or other Vir
ginia city but Norfolk In such manner? Truly
the people and papers of the city by the sea are
observation-disclosures often claimed but in more
ways than one.

Cause of Two Homicides In Month In Rock.
bridge.

bridge
A Young man near Marlbrook in this county
on September 7th, drew from his pocket his
pistol and shot companion and killed him.
lust a month later, in the county and
within few miles of the former tragedy, a
young drew pistol from his pocket and
killed likewise neighbor and companion Four
mourning families are made thereby; two by the
loss by death; two because members OF the
family are held in the county jail awaiting
trial for their lives And the tax burden Of the
people is increased thereby.
There are other contingencies that might
have happened to prevent both of these homf-
eides- But this may well he accepted as fact
that had not those young men been carrying
pistols in their pockets neither killing Is likely
to have occurred. In carrying them they were
committing an unlawful act and the result shows
why the law makes unlawful pistol carrying
II is n fruitful cause of bloodshed Why was
the law not enforced? Why are such things
permitted? 1t is because public officers ano
public society still largely look upon pistol carry
ing as an innocent act? Such tragedies serve to
arouse thoughtful people to the wisdom of the
law and the necessity of its enforcement as
protection to society. Men who were aware
that these young men who Killed their neigh
bors carried pistols and took no steps to pre-
vent It, are as sovereign citizens in a measure
responsible for the deaths of Carr and Pultz.
1t is evident that the law in relation TO such
matters needs amendment. Why should pocket
pistols be permitted to be sold freely any more
than a deadly drug like cocaine? They have
not the value of this drug. The pocket pistol
is not needed for any useful purpose II a home
Is to be defended gun is effective II there is
necessity for an officer to carry a firearm he
can carry n pistol so large as to necessarily be
visible But there Is much nonsense about
such needs. The London police, for instance
are not permitted to carry pistols. IL a man
cannot meet violent men and master them with
a billy, that man Is not wanted on the force.
/ The carrying OF pocket pistols is neither be-
fitting an officer sensible, peacable citizen
Few but the thoughtless and violent carry them
/ Others avoid places where they may be needed
to protect either life or property, and con-
troll their own temper and their manners that
| they are free from attack.--Rockbridge News.

The provision of the pending currency bill.
making the government responsible for the
treasury notes to be issued is fundamentally
wrong and this policy will inevitably invite
future disaster.
The treasury notes so provided will not be
issued save at the request OF member banks
They will not be isued except on paper repre-
senting commercial transactions and in accord
with the volume of such transactions Every
dollar of such notes will have back Of 1t 100
cents worth of business paper and 33 Ia cents
in gold and lawful money They will conform in
every respect to a strictly banking currency.
But they will have in addition the protection OF
the United States government while they are
in circulation.
wherein is this additional protection "funda-
mentally wrong? Mr.. Hepburn is not ex-
pncit But Mr.. Hepburn and other banking
critics evidently need TO know that the Ameri-
can people will insist upon such a provision.
They have il with the existing bank notes.
They will have 1t with any other bank note
system or those who fasten 1t upon them will
have trouble. They may be needlessy exacting.
But 1t is a condition and not theory we have
to deal with. and If Mr. Hepburn and the others
want to stir up the ghosts of greenback and
silver days and start another great cam
paiEn for sweeping away all bank-note issues
and substituting rredeemable governmeEt paper
they will follow up their attempt to defeat the
bill on this line of attack.
Meantime the banker critics are forcefully re-
minded that theirs are not the only interests
concerned in this legislation. There are the
far larger commercial interests whose chambers
of commerce in all parts of the country have
lust voted 900 to II to indorse the report OF
their committee in general approval of this bill
which has already been amended to embody
most of that committees recommendations

every one they have been accorded
the palm for their merit and perfect
organization Col Barnes is as well
known throughout the show world
as any show man, and the very fact
that it is under his personal super
