STUART TO WELD
GREAT INFLUENCE.

General satisfaction has been cx.
pressed by members of tic
Legislature at the tone Of Cover.
nor Stuart'S Inaugural address ant
the prediction is made that legisla-
ton under the policies Of his a.minis.
tration woul: be essentially sane ant
constructive.
1t seems TO be the consensus OF
opinion among leaders in the Genera
Assembly that the new executive:
influence would be dominant, and tina,
he will, in a sense, largely mold anc
direct legislation, particularly during
the next forty days.
This is attributes to the fact tha'
Governor Stuart is the choice Of tho
whole Democratic party in Virginia
rather than Of majority. He has
no obligations except to the state a;
whole; there are no prilt. u debt;
to be paid; no friens t. 1e NwardcG
no enemies to be chastisel OF @oorcd
Perhaps the chief source Of Cover
nor Stuart's influence it is agreed
is to be found in the IAN himself. |
is freely admitted that he possesse'
the dominant personality at the CAPT
tol, and that, as result, Legislation
will be largely what he makes ii.
Leaders in the General Assembl!
are inclined to compare local con5i
tions with those existing iii the na
tional capital They say thst tie phe
nomenal success Of President Wilso
is due to the fact that he possesse:
the dominant intellect in Washington
They assert no less emphatically tina
Governor Stuart possesses the omi
nant intellect in the State capital
and that he will therefore be able t.
make his influence felt as few Gov
errors have been able to do.
His training in life and his ath
tudc toward public questions appea
particularly to the county de!ega
tions in The General Assembly. wn'
admire his practical views and hi
frank manner of expression. The
county delegates are in the large MA
jority in tie Legislature, ana Cover
nor Stuart's influence Is further
strengthened by the fact that over
half of the House members are new
and, therefore. have no interlocklne
acknowledgements whatever.
As Governor Stuart outlined II
his Ead 'resS his views are entirely
those of'the conservative and yet pro.
gressive business men as opposed t.
those Of the politician: and his ef
forts, therefore. as has been said. arr
to build Up the whole state rather
than the power Of any particular or
ganization.
Members OF both branches Of the
Stature are waiting for his first
sage with considerable interest

GOLDEN BELT COUNTIES
ARE MAKING ROAD GOOD

The rapid development OF roau
making enthusiasm in the central
counties of the state is taking the
form of organizing road companies
or associations, each devoted to
improving one road that leaoe
somewhere. The average citizen Is
more easily induced to give up MS
time and money when he sees
definite result than when 1t is mere
1y a general proposition OF good
roads. All through this county are
roads kept in good condition con-
stantlv because they ~ad to some

CHRISTMAS IN ABILENE
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO
: AaAeAAeAAAAeea

Abilene of rs years ago Jacket
many things that 1t now has: \
lacked the stunning dress OF we'll
lighted and well-paved streets; the
town had not grown to its present
size; improvements that now are
utilized were then unknown. But
Christmas in Abilene 26 years ago
in 1888, was much the same Christ
mas as in 1918.
Christmas came on Tuesday II
1888, the files Of the Reflector Of
the holiday season of that year say
Merchants were advertising articles
for Christmas gifts.
Railroads announced half rates
for holiday travellers. There were
no two-cent rates then.
j. B. Case had a big advertise
ment running clear across the tor
of the seven-column paper, inviting
buyers.
The Evangelical church announc'
ed that a quarterly meeting would
be held at the church Christmas
night.
Prof. A. v. Jewett was getting
ready to leave his school work and
spend the vacation at Beloit.

stun club" the Reflector said,

sufficiently, have sold their extern

there to take charge of the tree and
hand out the presents.
There was little talk of hard
times. The h. c. of |. had not slip
ped onto the front page Of the paper.
There were no opinions on the egg
boycott, for eggs were quoted at 10
cents a dozen, and the market weak.
But there was one way in which
the 1918 Christmas here is away
ahead of the 1888 Christmas. The
Good Fellows are organized now,
and the Christmas spirit will make
a lot OF children happy tomorrow
morning when the stockings are
found filled plump with things they
have wished for. There were just
as many Good Fellows in 1888. no
doubt. but they were not organized
as the Good Fellows have been this
year. But the Christmas spirit was
just the same then as now and real
ly as you read of the doings then
and compare them with today things
have not changed much.
