ton. AS result, the Republicans of
the Ninth district have lost the feder-
al patronage, which the leaders of the
party have used to good political adj
vantage. Moreover, the change at
Washington has not only directly
strengthened the Democratic party
of the district by heartening the mem
bers of the party, but has strength
ened it by strengthening progressive
sentiment generally.
The prospect for the reclamation of
the Ninth district is distinctly prom
ing, but it will not be accomplished
without good, hard work and plenty
of 1T. The Democratic convention ex-
ercised splendid Judgment when it
nominated Hon. r. Tate Irvine for
congress, and the Democratic masses
have admirably performed their first
obligation by qualifying for the cleo
ton. So far, fine! The next thing is
the contest. The campaign will open
in few weeks, and if every man will
do his duty during the fight the dis
trict will be reclaimed.-Br Bristol Her
ald-Courier, May 6, 1914.

LOOKS GOOD NINTH

Reports from all parts of the
Ninth Virginia district are to the
effect that the Democrats have paid
their poll taxes. Here and there may
be found one who failed 10 discharge
this duty, an dwho can have no voice
in the November election, since the
time for paying the tax expired on
Saturday, May 2nd. But there are
not many of these negligent or indif-
ferent ones. According to the best
information, the Democrats who have
failed to qualify for the election by
the prepayment of the poll tax are
few and far between.
This is good news. 1t shows that
the Democrats of the Ninth district
are keenly interested in the coming
congressional contest, and it indi
Gates firm determination on their
part TO reclaim the district at the
fall election. Not only is this spirit
OF determination present among them
but feeling of optimism pervades
their ranks. Evidently they believe
that the goal towards which thew
have struggled for many years is in
sight.
On the other hand, the Republi-
cans are said to lack their usual con-
lidence and to have taken less inter
est than the Democrats in complying
with the poll tax requirement. Things
have happened to discourage the Re-
publicans. The last two congression-
al elections have shown drift back
toward Democracy, ana since the last
election Democratic president has
been inaugurated and the Democrats
have taken full charge at Washing

Stuart Moves In Ninth Fight.

Washington, May 11.-Good results
it is believed, will follow Governor
Stuart's call upon the postmaster
general yesterday afternoon in behalf
of Il movement to replace Republican
postmasters inthe Ninth district with
Democrats before the next congress
sional election.
1t is learned by your correspondent
that the postoflice department is anx-
ious to adjust the fractional tangle in
the southwest and replace the Re-
publican postmasters, whose terms
have expired. In order to bring this
about, the suggestion has been made
that men be named who are the choice
of the postoffice patrons regardless of
their Organization" or "anti-organiza
ton" affiliations. Whether this choice
will be determined by primaries among
the Democrats has not been deter
mined. 1t is possible that an arrange
ment of that character will be made.
Governor Stuart made his call upon
the postmaster-general i'm an unoffi-
cial capacity. He came here as an
independent and representative of no
faction, his sole interest being TO re-
deem the Ninth district; and he be-
licves that this can be done should
the Democrats get together and adjust
the fights over patronage He was
received as the most prominent citi-
zen of the Ninth district.
The postoflice department has been
told that the Republican postmas ters.
despite the postal rules, are power
full factor in elections in Ninth dis
trict. Should these postmasters be
shorn of their Office power, a big
Republican influence will be removed
from the path of the struggling DEM
ocrats in the Ninth.
1t is understood that Senators
Martin and Swanson, who have been
holding up the nomination of Buch-
anan to be postmaster at Tazewell.
will withdraw their opposition. This
will pave the way for a settlement of
the fight in the Ninth over the pos
tai plums. The postoflice department
desires to let Representative Glass
select some of the postmasters in the
Ninth. The Senators claim that the
appointments are theirs. AS result
there is deadlock and only few
nominations have been made, these
being equally divided between Repre-
sentative Glass and the Senators. By
permitting the choice of majority of
the Democratic patrons of the post
office to decide whom they wish to
handle their mail, this friction may
be adjusted.

IINDPART BEFORE.

The United States senate. it is re
ported, will appropriate nearly a half
million dollars to fight the boil wee
vii, moths and other insect pests,
and the munificent sum of ten thous-
and dollars to protectinsect-dcstr
ing birds. The appropriation, as we
see it, should be reversed. The in
sect pests have increased rs the birds
have decreased, and no one doubts but
that the birds can beat the scientists
destroying insects, two to one, every
time, and ut no cost to anybody. To
fight the boil wecvil and other in
sccts with poisons, traps, etc, is all
right, of course, but the appropria-
ton, above indicated, is hindpart be-
fore, and should he reversed, or in
plain English, turned end for end.
Is it so that with the saying: ain
time of peace prepare for war;,
should be coupled the warning, "Whcn
April comes, lool; out for Il scrap"
Certainly so far as this country is
concerned, the force of coincidence
gives pertinency to the inquiry, as is
made clear by the following facts to
which the Norfolk Virginian- Pilot
calls attention. "The French and
Indian trouble, it is pointed out, be-
gan in April, 1854, although the clash
at Great Meadows did not come until
the next month. The battle of Lex
ington, opening the Revolutionary
war-if one ignores the claims of the
battle of Alamance to that distinction
was fought on April 10, 1775. The
Revolutionary war ended on April
IL, 1888. The Black Hawk Indian
war broke out in April and lasted
eighteen months. The second Creek
Indian war really began in April, al
though the first blood was not shed
until May 5, 1886. The war with
Mexico began April "a, 1916, and the
war between the states also began
in that month, the first bloodshed oc-
curing in Baltimore on the anniver-
sary of the battle of Lexington. That
was also ended in April, and it was
in April, 1898, that the United States
entered upon the war with Spain.
And now in rApil, 1914, we are en-
gagged in what really amounts to war
in at least part of Mexico"

THE LOOT OF THE PUBLIC DOMAIN.

How the vast public domain has been looted by
means of government grants and private exploitation
is story that the American people have very little
the people and was granted stolen at different
periods and they not conscious of the loss
The enormous value of oil lands belonging to the
nation and made gift of to the ranscontinenta
railroads was unknown the people until after the
government brought suit in the Supreme Court for
the recovery these lands under the conditions of
their grants or patents which required that if they
should prove to underlaid by minerals they would
revert to the government
An estimate of the money value of all these lands
is $500 900 900 The Supreme Court denies the gov
eminent suit confirms the titles of the railroads
TO this vast landed wealth. The lands were found to
contain oil, which should have been equivalent to
their surrender by the railroads under the terms of
the deed of gift but the agents of the
ment proved negectful and unaithful in their duties
the people must lose their rights to the lands.
There is remedy. The loss to the nation is
irrevocable A vast property that could have been
utilized to pay for national improvements is in
private hands for the making of colossal individual
fortunes. And who is responsible for this but the
government itself Lax administration of the public
domain by those whom the people trusted, and even
collision with interests grabbing for it, have been
plainly in evidence. The plumber of the nations

BUSINESS MEN IN POLITICS.

The statement by President Vanderlip, of the
National City Bank of New York, at the Chamber of
Commerce meeting at the Washington last night that
the time had come for business to take more
active part in politics. cannot be gainsad But at
all times this remark is Business men always
have vital interest in public affairs, local State
aud national
And yet business generally have been in
different to politics. ignoring the patent fact that
they are subject to the operation of public policies
and laws that grow of partisan politics and must
be the chief victims of bad policies and bad laws.
1t should be part of the training of business
man to study nelligently the most important prob
lens of government. to acquaint himself with the
important affairs of his own State and make himself
familiar with those of the local community But
how many business men do that? How many care to
inquire into the qualifications of candidates or even
pay attention to the platforms of political parties?
The business community is potential one in its
influence if it chooses to this influence But now
often is solid business sense organized in politics.
It was well organized in 1896, when the business
world was aroused against the threat of free silver
and it then showed the potentially of its influence
in politics. That was a supreme effort. Are business
men so sefshly engrossed in their private affairs
that they cannot take any of the interest they
then took in the nations politics? They knew in
1896 the relation between politics and business
Why should they be ignorant of it or Indifferent
now?

COUNCIL CONTROL OF STREET LAMPS.

Waste of money in improper public lighting is a

ICES the location and relocation of the street lamps
The council is composed of representatives of the
wards and each representative looks out for his own
ward regardless of other wards AS result private
property is favored and alleys brilliantly ilumi-
mated in some wards while in others the lights are
few and dim.
Newark had these conditions before the Board of
Works was established and when Common Council
committee had charge of the public lighting. Every
ward representative used his efforts to get for his
ward as many lamps possible, and if he belonged
to the political majority in the council he usually
succeeded. 1t often happened that lamps placed
conveniently for favored constituents of the council
man. Therefore while there was waste of public
light in one place. there dearth of it in other
and important places

them. Newark is away ahead of Philadelphia in this

HARD TO GET A QUORUM.

AS the summer advances the members of Congress
grow more FESTIVE. Washington is hot place in
summer the prolonged session has begun to tell on
the physique and prospects of adjournment are dis
couraging But the principal matter for concern IS
the political fences at home. The members are long
ing to get back look after their interests in the
primaries.
1t is hard to keep quorum to do business and
the absentees are multiplying When June mets into
July and the thermometer is galivanting among the
nneties the task of the House leaders to keep
quorum will be harder.
The absentee outlook in the Senate is also serious,
and the Senate is depended to make some kind OF
showing on the trust bills to save the face of the
administration. The House must wait upon the Sen
ate besides putting through the sundry civil appro-
priation bill and acting the other appropriation
bills when they are returned by the Senate.
The fight on the labor and farmer provisions in
the trust legislation that has developed in the Senate
is bound to be a prolonged one. The Senate COM
mittee has greatly modified these provisions and
that means a battle. The Colombian and Nicaraguan
treaties, if acted upon will consume weeks of time
There will be no adjournment in July unless Con-
gress incontnenty departs leaving these matters to
go over the next session That would look bad for
November.
