II Is A Party Question.

Those Democrats who vote against
repeal of the toll exemption clause of
the Panama Canal act cannot lay to
their souls the flatterng JUNCTION that
the question is not Il party one. 1t is
Il party question, and the Democratic
party stands for repeal.
When the clause was up for consid-
Grafton in the Democratic House of
Representatives, it was passed by n
coalition of Democrats and Republi-
cans, with the majority of the Demo-
Gratis in the House voting against it.
The Baltimore platform declared for
toll exemption to American coastwise
commerce, but another clause in the
platform declared against subsidies
to shipping. The two declarations
are antagonistic. Both cannot stand.
The antisubsidy clause reflects the
position of the Democratic party Of
all time, and, if the Baltimore plat
form is to be considered, that plank
which enunciates an eternal party
principle must take precedence over
the plank declaring for Republican
party principle, and adopted without
knowledge of its existence by vast
majority of the members of the con-
vention.
The President of the United States,
not the titular, but the real leader of
the Democratic party, favors repeal.
When the first test vote came in the
House of Representatives last Fri
day afternoon, 1919 Democrats voted
for repeal and fifty-fve against re-
peal; eight Republicans voted for re-
peal and 1913 against. No progressive
voted for repeal, and nineteen voted
against.
If this does not make question a
party question, there is no such thing.
Those Democrats who vote against re
peal are voting against the Democrat
ic party declaration, and not for it..
They are voting with Republicans on
a party issue. They are voting against
their party and their party's faith
They are voting against their party's
leader. They are lending aid and
comfort to the enemy.
This they have the right to do. The
Times-Dispatch would deny independ-
ence of judgment to no man. but it
does deny that a Representative in
Congress can vote agains: repeal
without confessing to opposition to
his party on this question.-R;chmon

The Southern Farm Journal, in an
extended editorial, calls attention to
some mistakes the farmers are almost
sure to make this spring, and warns
against them. Among the mistakes
enumerated are, shallow, poor plow-
ing, poor and imperfect preparation
of the seed bed, and planting of the
wrong kind and poor seed. Owing
to the lateness of the season some or
all of these mistakes are likely to be
made, and next fall poor crops will
be gathered as result. To be fore
warned is to be forcarmed, or ought
to be, and still many farmers go on,
from year to year, planting in cloddy,
poorly prepared soil, using Il poorly
selected seed-corn which has run
out" and which cannot possibly make
a full yield. 1t is to be hoped that
the "boys" will try to shun these old
mistakes this year.

Virginia's Eye Opener.

A Massachusetts paper makes the
following comment on the treatment
accorded the equal suffrage resolution
by the Virginia house of delegates
recently.
Virginia suffragists have every
reason to rejoice over the discredit-
able scenes that attended the recent
vote on woman suffrage in their
state Legislature. If the measure
had been debated with dignity and
voted down with decorum, those Vir-
giniawomen who are now opposed
might all have remained under the
impression that the lawmakers were
animated chiefly by the motive of
chivalry in wishing to debar them
from the ballot box. But the tone of
the debate was neither courteous nor
chivalrous. a large number of highly
respected Virginia women had asked
that the voters of their state should
be allowed to express their opinion
upon proposition which has already
been accepted by ten states of the
Union and by six foreign countries.
Their serious request was discussed
with ridicule and insult and was
voted down with contumely. The
character Of the speeches made in op-
position cannot fail to be an eve
opener to many Virginia ants"
The result of the vote was: "a
against, Is for; 10 not voting G914).
80 against; IL for; 3 not voting
(1912).

WHO CAN VOTE IN THE SEPTEM-
BIER ELECTION.

On September 10th the statewide
prohibition election, as provided by
the last general assembly, will be
held. The question as to who can
vote at that election is an important
one. The act provides: "All persons
who were qualified to vote at the reg
ular November election of 1913, and
all other persons who are otherwise
qualified, and who have personally
paid, at least six months prior to the
second Tuesday in June, 1914, all
poll taxes assessed or assessable
against them for three years pre-
ceding 1914, and all other persons
who may become of age prior to Sep
TENDER, 1917, and are properly reg
lstered, ETC., against whom no poll
taxes were assessed or assessable.
etc.
So, those voters whose poll taxes
were not paid six months prior to the
second Tuesday in June next, cannot
vote in the September election.

November election must pay their
poll taxes on. or before May 1st next

icants. Nothing could do more good
for the future of Virginia in man.
hood and prosperity"
Such expressions as these are as
strong and to the point as any pro
hibitionist could wish. Our task is
simply to bring about just such con-
ditions as you describe. How can you
reconcile the above splendid words
as uttered by you with the many col
umns of liquor advertisements to be
found in your paper? The induce
ment held out to advertisers by news
papers is that business will be in
creased by advertising with us and
your wares will enjoy increased sales,
consequently increased use. Accord
ing to your own words, the use of
intoxicants will cndanger both the
manhood and prosperity of Virginia.
! quote your words again: eve could
but wish that every man in Virginia
were so aroused to the dangers of
strong drink that none would ever
use intoXicants. Nothing could do
more good for the future of Virginia

lows day by day, week by week (Sun-
