POLITICS TO SUIT.

The Ninth is bound to have It's campaign. We
really believe that the citizens of that district
have conspired to stir up as much enthusiasm
as possible every year in order to keep the
spice life among them. Candidate Slemp has

performance Of the campaign Imagine vir-
enia politics with candidates taking sixty-mile
auto rides over mountain passes and speaking

Missed trains. long distance phones wild autos

appearance torches. dust. cheers. and Repub
tlcans~-fo- all save the last certain colonel

chance
And all the while Mr.. Irvine is saving wood
His campaign is perhaps best expressed by
that ardent champion, Gate City Herald, as fol
lows
"Mr Irvine Is the only candidate for Con
gress in the Ninth district who is a friend &c
President Wilson and his administration. A
vote for either of the other candidates is Civ
ing MIR Wilson slap in the face. Every
ore knows that President Wilson is frienc

preeiate The fact sufficiently to endorse the ad
minstration by working earnestly for the eIec

GRIM SAYS HILL
NOTE A MARES NEST
SAYS DECEASED GOVERNOR OF
MAINE ACTED AS AGENT FOR
THE BILLIARD COMPANY.

New York, Oct l5.---While Charles
s. Mellen was before the federal grand
! jury today his attorney. John w. h.
Grim, told group Of newspaper men
that the discovery Of the si,5ee.o00
New England Securities company note
among the effects of the late Governor
ohm F. Hill, of Maine, was being
endowed with an element of mystery
which really did not exist.
You're making mares nest out Of
this thing said Mr.. Grim. II should
say that the evidence points rather
decidedly to the fact that Governor
Hill acted as an agent for the Billiard
company In The transaction. by means
of which the New Haven Is said to
have got control of the Eastern Steam
ship corporation"
1t will be recalled that the Eastern
Steamship corporation controls the
Metropolitan Steamship company. the
Maine Steamship company and the
Eastern Steamship company, which
was the consolidation of all the lines
between Boston and the Maine coast.
The government, in its dissolution

already controlled, through the New

course Of the campaign. that not one of them
has been courteous or fair enough to make any
allusion To this public declaration. Several near
and notable instances might be mentioned. These
papers were the ones that made the most

But getting back to the NetrsRccord. 1t

Cannon does not and has not aspired 10 polit-

Virginia published statements that DR.. Cannon
was seeking political preferment and posi-

consider such offers was promptly made IN terms

been long known and no fair newspaper or
citizen has had grounds on which TO charge

Railroad DEMONSTRATION.

In ownership and management the Atlantic
Coast Lin. has been long recognized as peculiarly
Southern institution. In "domestcation" the
Seaboard Air Line has made rapid strides in re-
cent organizations while the third big system
in the State, always Southern in name and ten
denotes, Is fast becoming SnutherDized- in man
ogement. This tendency is in evidence in the
iection of two representative Southern men-Dr.
John c. kligo and DR.. Edwin A Alderman--as
members of the board of directors. Identified
ton OF sucn as these with the active di-
rection of the affairs OF that road will tend to
accelerate the fast developing friendly sentiment

Generally Speaking
Invading the Home.

The Brewers Journal. of October l. in three
page illustrated article, exhorts the trade TO
push the consumption of beer into the homes
CT the land. Says the Journal:
Newspaper advertising for beer should be
designed to attract and appeal to women as
we'll as nielt for IL beer is to be used in the
home women must be won overto it.
This article asserts that the saloon Is losing
It's efficiency as a distributor of the brewers
product, that home" orders for beer Will
repeat" that advertising should also be de-
signed TO impress the poorer classes who are
Influenced by what those higher up do etc.
The whole thing constitutes nauseous dose to
that spirit OF decency OF respect for women and
love of the home which many popular novel
writer's of the day designate mid Victorian"

DIR. Cannon's Position.

II must come as a source of great gratifica-
ton to hear Dr. James Cannon put aside the
suggestion that he become candidate for the
gubernat orial nomination in Virginia to succeed
Governor Stuart.
In these days when so many espouse
prohibition in order to be riding in the band
wagon, it makes one renew his faith in humanity
and in mons motives to hear a man like DR..
Cannon reject suggestion that might lead 10
the governorship
His hirh-minded devotion to the cause of
temperance that makes him put 1t ahead of a
laudable ambition to be the chief executive of
the proudeat state in the Union, is an answer
so complete and 80 convincing against the
charges Of unworthy and sef-seeking motives
made aga INST him during the campaign that it
Y ould seem to rs that those editors who imputed
such motives to him would feel like publicly ex-
press ng their deep regret that they had done
so
DIR. Cannon is the type of men We need in Fir-
gnia in the forum, in the newspaper orr1cs. Pm
the State at large and the county at home. We
need men who are without desire for personal
sgrandsment, who will be content to work
year in and year out for the good of the cause
with private ambition to crafty.
Right here In rockingham we need such men.
There are too many Of Us who are enthusiastic
workers rs long position of some sort seems
To be the probable reward. What need is
that we shall have men who are willing to serve
their party and their people because duty calls
than rather than because prospective position
lures them We need men who put aside
the idea ~ political preferment and fight the
battles of the people because they love the cause
of the people. and because they can find their
chief Joy In doing something for the people.
DR. Cannon's position taken at this time comes
as high example of lofty citizenship that puts
the public good above private interest, and 1t is
deyoutlv &c be wished that many there will be
will catch inspiration from his example
md rive 10 the people the pleasing spectacle
Of seeing 1hat there were leaders who fought
the battles OF Statewide because they loved the

NOT ~ BANKERS. But AS MEN.

Glass participation in politics is an evil second
only In MAGNITUDE to the far too prevalent non
participation For any citizen 10 refrain from
TIE exercse Of the rights Of citizenship Is for
him 10 shirk the plain requirements Of duty.
For any citizen, body of citizens, to exercise
those rights as members Of a body or class is
to put the good of class above that of an
other aboye that Of all above that of the country.
One is negative; the other Is positive Either
Is inexcusable.
So when President Reynolds, Of the American
Bankers association, advised the bankers Of the
United States 'to take action through the full
exercise Of their rights as citizens" his advice
is good or bad, according to the spirit In which
given and received II he really meant for them

ing stock to constitute a definite con-
troll. Mr.. Grim thought that this
charge was due to an error In the
governments bill, which should have
read that the New Haven secured con-
troll of the majority of the bonds in
the steamship corporation through the
Billiard company.
The Governor Hill note, as It II
called now. was made payable to the
Billiard company by the Eastern Sc
curities company. which was conced-
eddy the conduit through which all tho
money used in the purchase OF, tho
New Ravens water transportation IA
ciIities flowed. II IL thought likely,
therefore. that the note represented

New Haven company to the Billiard
company to effect the purchase OF thu

ship corporation. through Governor
Hill.

along these lines the federal grand

Honesty, Like Advertising, PAYS.

One great reason why baseball is so universally
popular in this country Is that, in spite of its
professional character, the people feel assured
that It Is strictly "on the level"
rather striking exemplification of this Is
pointed out by Johnny" Evers in his dispatch to
The Sun Two years ago the series between the
New York Giants and the Boston Red Sox
| required eight games to settle 1t, one game be-
ing a tie. The receipts amounted to nearly half
a million dollars. The players shared, under
the rules in only the first four games the others
going to the club owners and the two leagues.
In the series just closed only about $4,000 was
taken in. ard the club owners share was COM
larativeIy small. A little jockeying might have
resulted in several other games being played
that would have netted small fortune. PROB
ably the idea never even thought Of by
players or magnates OF course. they know that
If the slightest suspicion of crookedness or double
dealing to gain lodgment in the public mind
