Two XiipInianS

WV
When tho tariff bill was under con-
sideratton in the House of Represen-
tatives and in the Senate, the new
Democratic administration did not
lack support from the native State
of the head OF the administration.
When the battle for currency reform
waged hot 1t was Virginian who led
the fighting. These two great meas
urcs having been disposed OF success
fully. the trust question, the third
problem on the Wilson program,
comes to tho front, and here, too.
Nirginians are found taking an i'm
portant part. The State is being
ably represented in the effort to free
our great commerce from the shackles
which impede its growth. Montague
and Carlin now come to the front.
Two of the finest speeches made in
the House on the pending antitrust
legislation wore made by these two
Nirginians. or the speech OF Con-
gresham Carlin, member of the
House Judiciary Committee, which
framed the bill, President Wilson
spoke in terms Of highest praise. OF
the speech Of Congressman Montague
on the trades commission bill. a part
OF the trust legislation program, moth

been heard from any source. Mr.
Montague showed clearly the weak
ness of the Murdoch measure, point
ing out convincingly that far from
being vigorous and masterful." il
carries within 1t the seeds OF its own
destruction, because il could not run
the gauntlet of the courts. In the
NlrGlnians' language the very control
desired by the kansan "may be re-
Taxed by tho juridical hand OF the
government" In other words. Mr..
Montague impressed upon his col
leagues tho truth that Il law when

The Times-Dispatch ventures TO eX-
press the hope that when Judge
Richardson hands down his decision
to-day with regard to saloon IL
censes he will refuse licenses to sa-
loon-kcepers OF Jackson Ward. That
saloons shall not be allowed in resi-
dental sections Is a well-established
policy in Richmond. That they shall

BEING A VERY SICK MAN
INDEED.

Virgil II. Davis, who has been con-
fined in the Glynn county Jail since
last November charged with the muir
der if his wife near Thalmann, has
changed greatly since his last trial.
Gaunt, hoIlcw-eyed, and with a death
ly pallor, he has every appearance of
being in the last stages of consump-
lton
He has allowed his beard to grow
since his last trial, which to some
extent hides the gastly pallor and
his sunken cheeks, but he has aged
greatly in the past few months. AL
ways an outdoor man the long CON
finement has told on him terribly, and
with a hacking cough, sick in body
and mind, he is really a pitiful hg-
ure.
Unless Davis appeal for bond IS
given favorable consideration or his
condition shows decided improvement
it is debatable question whether
the man will live to face trial again
