HANDLING OF
DRUNkARDS.

eff a man is hopeless. helpless
habitual drunkard, chloroform him.
This suggestion is made in al
seriousness by Stewart Browne hank
er and big real estate owner. who
il fighting the plan OF New YORK
City to spend a quarter Of million
dollars for an institution i'll the coult-
try where habitual drunkards may
be sent to recuperate and. ii pos
kibl, overcome the curse OF the
habit.
These men will be sent to the
country at the taxpayers expense.
said Mr.. Browne, in heated and
serious speech. They will eat fresh
eggs and vegetables and have a good
time generally while they are going
into training for their next bout
with John Barleycorn.
What good are these men 10 the
community anyhow? 1t seems to Inc
it would be a much better plan for
the city to chloroForm them.
Another suggestion was thai
drunkards be put on board ship and
sent to the European war.
Ohio, one of the Roman emperorS,
had a more humane mode of dealing;
with such unfortunateS. All persons
found drunk in the city were brought
to the market place next day and
tossed UP in blankets to the aniISe-
i,.cnt OF hundreds Of spectators who
came to that place daily to see tic

THE PRESIDENTS
TESTIMONIAL.

The letter of President Wilson,
commencing Hon. C. c.. Carlin for
reelection by the people of the
Eighth Congressional District, pub
lished in yesterdays Gazette, was
read with pride by democrats
throughout the State. 1t was just
tribute to a worthy representative,
which was uttered by the chief execu-
tive of the nation. During the
time Mr.. Wilson has been occupying
the presidential chair he has selected
men upon whom he could rely as
counselors and patrons of measures
provided for in the democratic plat
form. Mr.. Carlin was one of the
Presidents early selections, and he
has met the expectations of the head
of the nation and the latter would be
10th to lose his cooperation.
Virginia has always had sons in
Congress Of whom she has been just
ly proud. The fact that the Presi-
dent of the United States finds coad-
tutors in representatives from the
Old Dominion will add to the honest
pride our state has always felt at
the honors shown her sons from the
days of the Colonial Congress.

GERMAN TRIP HAMMER
&. DISAPPOINTMENT.

Today's dispatches from the Eu-
ropean war zone show that the ter
rife blows of Kaiser William are be-
ing met by foemen worthy OF his
steel. The fact that the allies have
forced the heretofore regarded III
wnciblc invaders over the frontier
is a bitter pill for the Fathcrland 20
swallow. Germany has sacrificed the
lives of many thousands of men ana
spent millions Of money since last
August when her army, probably inc
most powerful ever modified III an
cient or modern times, set out lor
Paris. Her object was to deal france
terrific blow, before the defenders
could he ready to meet them. 1t
all looked we'll enough on maps
which had been prepared by the Fer
lin war Office years ago. but when inc
wouid-he couGuerers started on thc't
crusade they met Belgium in arms.
which protested against them pasSlh@
through that country. This snas'
gave the allies time 10 prepare for
the reception OF the Kaiser. and from
that time to the present the Germans
have realized that they have bitten
on more than they imagined
a,.Emperor William has at times he
come rash when he found his army
was not meeting with the success
he had supposed was assured. anI
