Virginia Governors Mansion.

virginia AOveFnorS mdnStoHs
The spirits of history, of sentiment
and of beauty rise to form triple alli-
ance in protest against the proposal
to remodel the first floor of the gov.
ernor's mansion. To them 1t Is al
most an act of vandalism to break the
splendid sweep Of the central hall with
a stairway, to obstruct the view from
the eatrance, to oDliterate the effect OF
space given by the wide interior en-
frances to right and left, to instill
eramped feeling into all who enter.
to make any changes In an intavior
the most distinctive historically and
INTELLECTUALLY OF all the state execu-
tive mansions. There are improve
ments to be made In the rooms of the
upper floor. and probably In other
parts of the house. Smaller and more
bedrooms, for instance, are needed.
But the first floor can only be, ruined
by the contemplated Improvements"
Rich In history, beautiful In design
and comfortable in arrangements, it
should not be touched.

Menace.

The Akoond of Swat had 10000 men.
He marched them up a hill one day,
and that done he marched them down
again.
The great Powers we're not asleep
If this isn't mobilization, what is it,"
they demanded tensely.
The Akooned of Swat fastened to
point out that when his men were up
they were up, and when they were
down they were down, and, finally,
that when they were only halfway up
they were neither up nor down.
No temporizing!" Numbered the
great Powers, and forthwith fell upon
one another with the utmost ferocity.
For while the great Powers were
Christian, Swat was heather nation,
and so constant menace to the peace
of the world.-New York Evening

forward the warehouse receipts to-

OPTIMISM IN SOUTH.
Heavy Financial Depression
Gradually Being Relieved.
COTTON GROWERS GET MONEY
Natleu., Banks Are Reaching Out
Helping Hand and Extending r.
naneiaI Aid to Farmers-Loans
on Warehouse Receipts.

The hearts Of the people OF the
South have been gladdened and feel
ing of optimism is permeating the at
mosphere. The heavy hnanciai oe-
preston which gripped the cotton
states during the early part or sep
TENDER is gradually being relieved ana
money is becoming freer, The bank
ing institutions of the southern states
are coming to the aid of the cotton
growers with cash. advancing loans on
cotton warehouse receipts.
Although it will take some time tor
the effect of the money being put into
circulation to be felt to any great eX-
tent. the assurance that something IS
being done to relieve the situation
has lent courage to the business man
as well as to the farmer. Because OF
the fact that the cotton must De
hauled to town and properly ware
housed before loans will be made on
the staple the work OF advancing loans
has been necessarily slow.
According to dispatches from Varl-
Gus portions OF the cotton belt there
have been thousands Of bales retired
from the open market and money ad-
vanced to the growers at the rate OF
six cents a pound, or approximately
$50 a bale. This money is represented
principally by the Aldrich-Vreeland~
currency furnished the national banks
by the United States treasury depart
ment. Under the provisions OF this
currency measure the cotton must be
properly warehoused before loans can
be made upon It,

also know that Mr.. Robinson and

was granted but of course it would

COMMISSIONER PECK
BREAKS LOOSE AGAIN

Commissioners Peck inflicted an
other letter on the public last night
through the Free Press. AS nearly
all Of it is devoted to us personally,
1t is hardly worthy Of a reply.
Judging from the following para
graph Of his last effusion our reply
to his first communication must
have struck home:
al suppose | should treat your
reply with silent contempt and con-
slider the source, but you take ad.
vantage Of your old age to throw
slurs and insults at people, as you
know it would be NJ honor to any
man to take you out and give you
what q younger man would get"
Then you are in a fighting mood
are you? Well, it's NOT the first
time we have been threatened for
turning the light on the action of
county officials and we have no idea
thet 1t will be the last. But say,
Commissioner Peck, SOUR threats
have no more effect on us than.your
ridicule had. If the ~notoriety you
are getting hurts, remember that
personally yoI cast the first stone
and don't forget that we will stay
with you as long rs you enjoy the
fun. We really enjoy it and hope
that you do. {.

NCINTOSR'S HOPES
MAY Be SHOCKED

The persistent rumur that Bert
Mcintosh has the appointment of
United States district attorney UP
his sleeve is not borne out by the
signed letters of the powers that be
at Washington.
When in Reno last week on his
way to visit with his wife at her
California home, BERTHE was asked
what his chances were of receiving
The appointment ard he answered:
"Oh that was all settled a long
while ago. Pittman never goes
back on bis word, and ] have his
promise" Now, the facts are that
the letters received from Washing
ton do not endorse the egotistical
confidence of the honorable BERTHE,
hut on the contrary, state that the
choice of the Nevada senator's will
be guided absolutely by party en-
dorsements. Therefore McIntoeh's
confidence can have no foundation
IN fact, as it is we'll known that
John F. Kunz of Goldfield has re-
ceiyed the endorsements of a large
number of the party leaders and
workers from all sections of the
state, while Mcintosh from his
own statement, has but few if any.

COMMISSIONER TALLMAN
HELPS AOMESTEADERS

Hon. Clay Tallman, commissions
er Of the general land office, is
making a splendid record at Wash.
ington. Instead of making it diff
cult for a homesteader to secure
title to his land, he is smoothing
the way and making it less expen-
sive. In a conversation with VIM.
j. MCGEE who is here from Wash
iugton to Start the Elko land office
we were Informed that Mr.. Tall
man was one of the hardest work
ling officials in Washington and that
he worked early and late. He
thoroughly understands his duties
and is fearless in their perform
ance. While he holds the position
everyone who has business in his
department is assured of a square
deal. Mr.. MCGEE has been in the
government land office nearly 20
years and knows whereof he speaks.
The following from the Churchill
County Standard tells how Mr.. Tall
man is helping the homesteader by
removing stumbling blocks from
his path:
The interior department has
found another way to help the
homesteaders. Commissioner of the
General Land Office, Clay. Tallman,
who halls from Nevada, has order
ed that hearings be had both sum-
mer and winter, and has appointed
hearing officers to represent the
government in all contests or pro-
tested cases.
The new method which is simple
and direct, will give the settler his
homestead from one to two years
sooner than now, if he is entitled to
it. Heretofore, where an -entry
was questioned by the land officials
it was customary to investigate by
special agent and then serve
charges upon the entry man. A
hearing on the case was then set
for the following winter when field
work is generally impracticable
and it frequently happened that
witnesses for both sides we're scat
tered or entirely understandable.
To remedy this and obtain speedy
hearings q special agent has been
designated for each field division
who is we'll versed in land, law and
practice. who will represent the
government in all contest cases.
These agents will devote their time
exclusively to sue cases, on which
hearings car be held both winter
and summer, so that a hoInesteader
can have his case come to trial at
almost any time that suits his con-
venience. The special agent or
hearing officer, will be allowed to
file an appeal where the decision is
adverse to the government when in
his judgment and that of the chief
of the field division, such action
is warranted.
