THE JOKER" AMENDMENT KILLED

The Firginian called attention on Thursday
morning to the meritorious measure supported
by the Central Labor Union, forbidding minors
and females to work in any place where intoxi-
eating liquors are bought, sold, manufactured, or
shipped, except in hotels and in clerical position.
such as bookkeepers, stenographers etc. The
bill was passed by the senate, and was sent over
to the house
In the house, under Misrepresentation of its
nature, an amendment was adopted which ex-
empted from the operation of the bill all females
engaged In labelling bottles or Gin any other
work." providing they shall not be brought in
personal contact" with liquor.
This amendment destroyed the purpose Of the
provision. for it allowed females to engage in
any kind of work in liquor establishments, ex.
cept the direct handling of the liquor
FRIDAY morning The .Vtrgnton pointed out
the destructive character of this amendment
and called upon the senate to kill it The senate
refused to accept the amendment, and 1t was re-
turned to the house.
The liquor houses of Richmond made strenu-
efforts to retain the amendments, and
Messrs. Montague and Hobson did their best to
prevent the house from receding Mr.. Hobson
declared that the issue was whether four or five
men shall rule the assembly, and frantically
announced that the issue was wet" and
dry" and that he did not propose TO be ruled
by one man
The house now fully understood the nature
of the amendment which had been adopted the
day before, under misrepresentation. The Vir-
ginian had shown the Joker" in the bill. and
the house now proceeded to remedy the mistake
1t had made, and by vote Of 81 to 8 receded
from its amendment, and then forbade that in
the future any minors or female shall be en-
ployed In any place where intoxicating liquors
are bought, sold, manufactured, or shipped ex-
cept In hotels and in clerical positions, such as
bookkeepers stenographers, etc.

PEOPLES FORUM
Defense of Petersburg.

Editor Nirginian
Sr,-1 have read the communication from
the w, G, 7. L. of the city of Petersburg Va,
with great deal of interest and satisfaction,
for Petersburg has been my home for the
past sixteen years. and ! konw that many OF
the best people of STATE Eve and vote in
Petersburg. ] have often thought so strange
that they would remain silent and allow those
who traffic in the vices of their fellow beings,
their friends and employees, to the city
and allow 1t to so out to the world without
protest, that Petersburg Is wholly corrupt and
dead to Goodness. The actions Of the repre-
sentatives from Petersburg in the senate and
house Is a serious reflection the moral homes
and Christian people of that city. and | am
glad that the good women of Petersburg have
spoken out, and let the State know that their
city is not wholly given over to vice, the
recent votes in the legislature of their repre-
sentatives and the saloon districts of their city
would indicate. w. 7. STONE.

logical thing TO do Is to develop the course at
Farmville into full college course. to gradually
eliminate the normal students. and then to allow
no students to enter the Fredericksburg, Har-
risonburg and Radford schools except students
who have finished high school work, and have
come to take purely normal teacher training
courses.
But not only is the State not In position TO
establish wonlans college but even were it
financially able. The Virginion does not believe
that 1t should be established at or near the
University of Virginia The Virginiom is old
fashioned enough to believe that it is better for
the university that this should not be done While
men and women are equal. yet we are thankful
to say that there are very decided differences
between them. We very glad that they are
not alike, and there is greater educational
error than to train the sexes as II there were
differences between them. Unfortunately
the great effort has been to furnish such courses,
that women would be able to ape men, but we
are thankful TO say that there are definite signs
Of reaction in educational thought In this re.
gard We do not want nor do we need either
womanly women and manly men. Proximity TO
the University of Virginia would be a decided dis
advantage to a genuine woman's college. It
would have no distinctive features of its own,
but would be overshadowed, II not eclipsed by
the university for men. The proposal to put 1t
at least mile away from the university would
not be an advantage, but disadvantage.
II Virginia is ever to have state college for
women let It be established as an Independent
proposition even II 1t be necessary to wait a
few years longer In order to get sufficient money
to establish one that will be a credit to the
State. Mr.. Jordan, OF Pulaski, was right when
he stated in his speech in the house last night.
that If a mistake should be made in defeating
the bill, 1t could be remedied later on. but If a
mistake should be made in passing the bill, the
State would have committed herself irrevocably
to proposition which might be seen within a
few years to be a very great error. The fact
that $4,000 or even 100000 could be secured
matter of small moment, as compared with the
great sum which would be required to develop
and perpetuate it.
These are some Of the reasons briefly stated
why The Virginian could not favor the co
ordinate womans college bill, and why It be-
lieves that the house of delegates acted wisely

SHEARING PIGS.

What a fuss and a fume was kicked I'm by a
morning paper when 1t opened the mares
nest and found some one had been mark
ing legislative bis Footnotes discovered
that paper led the public to believe that the
original bills had been extracted. tempered with,
and. maybe. appropriated. The whole upshot of
the matter was that some person interested in a
circulation, and adder his printed footnote.
All OF which perfectly legitimate and far
less reprehensible than secret letter writing or
pulling strings. According to by gone testimony
the newspaper agitators are quite familiar with
such last named tactics
The product of the mares nest" was a crawl
ing into their hole by the minimized discoveries.

On yesterday morning Senator Mapp made a
motion to take up the anti-gambling bill in order
to give 1t its third reading and engrossment He
stated frankly that he saw no reason for further
delay this bill. If the senators desire to kill
it they could do so, but they should face the issue
squarely. 1t required twenty-seven votes to
take up the bin out Of its order. When the roll
was called it was found that only twenty-four
senators had voted. All these had voted in favor
of taking the bill up. There were thirteen more
senators present in the chamber at the time.
These senators refrained from voting Is this
lodging? If not, what is it? Why should any
senator refuse to go record when he does not
favor the passage Of a bill? Does he imagine
that his constituents will think that he was alb.
sent from the chamber at the time the vote was
taken? Why not come out openly and vote
against a bill? The Tigintan gives below the
record of the vote; first giving those who voted
to suspend the rules and take the bill up out of
the senate chamber at the time the vote was
taken; third those who were present, but who did
not vote when their names were called
Ayes-Senators Blanks. Bowers. Buchanan,
Catron, Crockett Early, Edmonson. Featherston,
Fletcher, Gayle, Gravatt, Holt, Mapp, Moncure
Parr, Royal Saunders, Smith, Sowder. Taven-
ner, Thornton, Walker, Watkins and West-24
Noes--None.
Absent from senate chamber-Senators Brock
Cannon and Echols--s.
Present but not yoting-Senators Drewry,
Garrett. Hartman, Hart Hobbs, Lesner Massie
Montague. Paul. Paxton Rinehart, Rison and
Wendenburg-
| If a senator is present and refrans from yot-
ing for motion when his vote is necessary to en-
able the measure to be passed is he not in effect
showing his opposition to the measure as effectu-
ally as though he voted against the notion If
this is not lodging the issue what is It? The
plain people of Virginia who are not versed in
technicalities will surely count as opposed to the
passage of the anti-gambling bill those senators
who We're present, and by their votes could have
made possible the passage OF the bill, but re-
NAMED silent when their names were called "He
that is not with is against me-"

ORIENTAL CARPETS.
Some Of Those Made Of ksshnir Wool
Strongly Resemble Silk.


Generally speaking, the carpets Of
India can never excel those Of Persia.
as the materials used In the former
are not Of the same superior quality as
those employed In the latter country.
The wool Of which many Of the best
carpets are manufactured is obtained
from Kashmir. Sometimes carpets
which are mistaken for silk are really
of an extremely fine quality Of wool
known as "pashm." This is obtained
from the goats of Kashmir and grows
close to the skin, being protected by
the long and coarser wool. 1t is as
smooth and lustrous as silk and is used
for the beautiful soft shawls for which
Kashmir is famous.
Peculiar methods are employed by
the Indian weaver in converting his
original design into textile Instead
of working from a colored drawing or
diagram, the weaver has the pattern
translated on paper into rows Of SYM
bOls, each of which expresses the num-
Der Of stitches and the color. With
this written "key" in his hand the
head weaver sits behind his subordi-
mates and dictates the pattern to them,
one row at a time, all through the
breadth of the carpet.
These weavers-generally small boys
sit in front Of the warp strings and
tie in the requisite number Of stitches
of each color as called out to them by
the reader from his ciphered scrip.
These boys, who perform the actual
process Of weaving the pile, follow day
by day the dietations Of the head man,
knowing nothing Of the pattern they
are preparing, but gradually building
up in mechanical way the carpet on
the strings before them.-Argonaut.
