and mighty temples sanctuaries and
places OF refuge against tyranny and
wrong. She proclaimed and enforced her
truce OF God
Around her bishops houses grew up

universities like Paris and Pavla and
Oxford and Cambridge and Salamanca,
and she it was who, through her clergy
and great teachings, ordered democ-

frightened by their songs, the birds were
given to John iSimmerle, an undertaken,

offered to provide n decent burial for the

songsters to provide the funds for his
services
This arrangement was made by the Rev.

entered his last sleep in the lonely room

Robbery.

About SIS Sunday night three men
entered the store OF the Madison Drug
Company. One of them had prescrip-
ton which was handed 10 Mr.. Guy, the
prescription clerk, to be filed. Mr. Guy
took small box of money with him
back TO the prescription desk and filed
the prescription, returning to the front
room he handed it TO the purchaser.
The purchaser also called for some
Prince Albert tobacco. There being
none in the front room. Mr.. Guy went
from the main room through the pre-
scription room and into the wareroom
holding small hashlight. While he
was in tie wareroom some one stole the
tin box containing cash and checks 10
the amount of $25. The two strangers
who accompanied the purchaser in
the store, were about 10 or 20 years old.
ore of them slender and the other of
stout build, weighing about $50 pounds.
The last two made some small pur-
chases, after which they left the store,
which was closed for the evening. On
going back to get the cash box to lock
up for the night, Mr.. Guy discovered
that it had been taken.

THE PARAMOUNT QUESTION.

The National Economic League has
recently taken ballot of intelligent non
partisans as to what is the greatest ques-
tion of today before the American peo-
pie. Twenty questions were submitted
TO them, as follows:
l. World Peace, International Arbi-
tration, Militarism.
American Merchant Marine.
,. Efficiency and Economy in Gov
eminent
Taxation and Taxation Reform
Federal, State and Municipal)
.. National Budget.
q. Liquor Problem.
Z. Foreign Relations of the United
States.
s. Regulation and Control of Public
Utilities.
8. Conservation of the Public Health.
10. immigration.
IL Law Beform.
r. Child Labor.
3D. Cooperation VS.. Competition, (aS
a social and industrial principle.)
ii. Economic Wastes.
10. Public Schools.
10. Short Ballot.
II. Conservation of Public Resources
Is. Equal Suffrage.
10. Government Ownership of Rail
roads.
20. Good Roads.
The answers received put the first four
questions i'll the ascendency, as follows:
towil: For the first question 26 per cent,
the second "a per cent, the third 10 per
cent. and the fourth Z 1 ? per cent On
the final choice the answers put the first
question at 81 per cent and the second
question at 40 per cent.
In this connection it is worthy of note
that the 10Th question relative to Gov
eminent ownership of railroads, received
only per cent of the vote.
From an intellectual standpoint, the
discussion of these 20 questions is high
ly entertaining, but the paramount ques-
ton before the people today is, How
can we connect with enough to eat and
wear"

RECENT EDITORIALS.

In the last issue of the Winchester
Democrat that excellent paper takes ex-
cepUion to the statement made in these
columns that both papers at Winches-
ter had singled out Judge Shackelford
as the object of attack in the celebrated
grand jury report. 1t AYERS that it has
never said anything derogatory to Judge
Shackelford and asks that we correct
our statement.
In an editorial which appeared in that
paper under date of February 3, No. IL,
was this paragraph;
This is not fight between
Judge Benton and Judge Shackel-
ford. 1t is fight between the man
who casts his ballot honestly and the
man who buys the ballots of others
by the wholesale. II is a fight for
existence by the common voters
against the power OF money and
liquor.
The plain inference from this para
graph, as we understood it, was to charge
that Judge Shackelford represented that
class of people who dealt in corrupt pol
itics in the use of money and liquor.
We are glad to know that the Win
chester Democrat did not mean it that
way, and so far as we are concerned the
incident is closed

qualified health officer, and let him go
on with the discharge of his duties I'M
hampered.
There is much to be done in the way
of cleaning up the city and now is the
time to do it. The health board should
not stand for further meddling from
delay to take jurisdiction and superin
tend and direct the enforcement of its
rules and regulations for the health of

that it do so without any further delay

THE HEALTH OFFICER.

The city council is behaving unseen
ly in the matter of the appointment of a
health officer for the city of Richmond
The health board is an independent body
and as such it elected health officer on
the SLh of January. Up to the present
time, the city council has not recognize
ed the appointment, but has sought to
override his selection by continuing in
Office physician who has not the shad-
ow of right 10 the same. This breeds
confusion among the citizens and makes
il highly annoying to the physicians and
to the heads of families. who are requir-
ed under the law to report to the health
officer.
1t might be well to suggest to the city
council that they have had nearly three

PLArFoRM NECESSARY.

No party can exist without declara-
ton of principles. Thore must be some
thing for which it stands and this must
be expressed in its platform. There is
a great discussion going on by the press
of the State as TO whether or not there
shall be platform convention held Ell
Their before or after the primary cleo
Jion.
In our humble judgment it Appeals
to us that the proper time for the
holding of the convention is before the
primary election. This gives each can
didate time to express himself on the
party principles and enables him to de-
clare whether or not he endorses these
principles. When this is done, the great
body of the party can intelligently select
the leaders whom it desires TO carry gu,
its principles.
Nominating candidates first and ther
holding the convention, is something like
game of blind man 's-buff. You may
catch something, but YOU don't know
what it is until the blind is taken off
The same is true of candidates. You
can select a candidate for the various
offices 10 be filed, but whether or not ht
measures up to the platform which ma.
be adopted later on, or whether he will
agree 10 the principles enunciaLed there
in cannot be known.
The Democratic party is not afraid o
the issues of the day. 1t is not afraid Il
declare itself on the public questions
confronting the people. If it is, 1t should
crawl into hole and pull the hole in af
ter it,.
BY all means, let's have the conven'
tion first and the candidates afterwards
