MONTAGUE SPEAKS

WASHINGTON. April among
The many interesting speeches made
in the house during the past few days
on the canal tolls question. none was
more pleasing or more telling than

delivered just before the final vote
was taken
He contrasted the two planks or
pledges of the Baltimore platform !:
One Is opposed to ship subsidies he
said, and the other is in favor of ex-
emption. or subsidy, These two
pledges conflict, and he must choose,
he declared, between such a conflict.
and. therefore, he would adopt the
time honored Democratic doctrine of
and-ship subsidy, and not the Repuh-
lican doctrine of exemption or ship
subsidy. ono and the same
He also said that he took an oath
of office to support the treaties and
constitution Of the United States. and
when the treaty confiicted with a plat
form he was compelled by the oath
of office to support the treaty, which
is the supreme law of the land.
Perhaps the most interesting part
of his address was his contention that
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty was a
commercial treaty pure and simple.

Sir.-I constant reader of daily

more and more to my notice This particular
expression is in part: Therefore, what ought
to be the attitude of every Christian man and
woman toward such proposition? %
Can 1t be that those who oppose the liquor
traffic have the conception that this is solely
a religious movement, that il should be opposed

and il. other reason for opposing the
liquor traffic, other than 1t is not consistent with
the teachings of the Bible with church rules

what ought to be the attitude of every man
and woman. whether Christian or not?" DO
wonder that the general public is somewhat
slow in stamping out vice of different kinds
No. for the rank and file have not any con-

The Handwriting On the Wall,

To the Editor of The Vrginian:
-Sif-i have heretofore been strongly opposed
to woman suffrage and still think it would
be sacrifice of dignity and a condescension
on the part of woman, for her stand shoulder
ito shoulder with the heterogeneous crowds who
gather around the ballot box. But desperate
cases require desperate means, and it seems to
me Just now. that we are sadly in need of some
reform in our government, evidenced by the
decided opposition shown by a majority of the
members of the legislature at the last session
Of the general assembly to all measures in
troduced for the uplift of humanity The in
tenselv antagonistic attitude toward virtue and
morality which characterized most of the rep
resentatives throughout the session, has been
most conspicuous and equally appalling TO our
civilized and Christian people. 1t is high time
that we call a halt and ask ourselves whittier
are drifting?
It seems to me now never before, that our
sisters might be justfiable in stepping down into
the political arena and lend a helping hand to
rescue their fallen brothers.
oh. Virginia Virginia. You who have
Graded and nurtured our noble ancestors. and in
whose fair bosom sleep thy iIustrous dead
You who long have boasted of your honor,
chiva1ry and virtue! Well may you hide your
face in shame. for. alas, your beautiful capital
city--the heart Of civilization-has furnished
seven lawmakers who voted as a unit against
all moral measures introduced in our last
general assembly. thus forfeiting all Of her rights

The Sun Is inclined to the opinion that the
delay is due to the belief of members of the
commission that they may assume that their
decision will be irrevocable; that when they
have granted the increase asked for by the rail-
roads they will not be able to lower the rates
again. Like the Sun, do not see It that way.
When conditions improve there will be logical
grounds for another change in rates. If con-
ditions warrant an increase in rates now pub
lie opinion will support the action of the conf
mission in granting the increase, and the same
public opinion will uphold the commission II.
st a later date, conditions warrant decrease
in rates The commission has heard all the
mission. But the verdict should not be delayed,
