VIRGINIA VS.. WEST VIRGINIA
Virginia Debt Commission Undecided
As to What Steps to Take

:: Washington, D. C, April 27-On
Tuesday the Virginia. debt commits
sion met in Washington in full force
accompanied by Attorney General
Attorney General Anderson, and
Ralph Harrison, of Lynchburg, the
last two being special counsel for the
State in the action which resulted in
decree from the United States Su-
prcmc court against West Virginia
for about S13,OO0,00O with interest
amounting to $1,500 day since the
first of last July.
The commission went to the capitol
and called on the secretary of the su-
preme court, but did not appear be-
fore the court. 1t was the intention
to apply to the court for an execution
against West Virginia for the amount
of the judgment. An execution if
granted would have authorized the
seizure of any property of the state
of West Virginia legally subject to
attachment by the Federal Govern.
ment. Just what such property would
be in the case of a state like West
Virginia, which has no public lands
and presumably not much money in
bank, is a question. At any rate,
the Virginia commission could not
find in the records at the secretary's
office any precedent for a writ of eX-
ecution against state, and it was
decided to defer for the present any
request of that sort. Attorney Gen
eral Pollard and his legal associates
will make a further examination OF
the precedents.
1t was recalled by prominent Vir-
ginian not on the debt commission
that in the days of Governor Fitz-
hugh Lee, the late William L. Royal
of Richmond, who was counsel for
English holders of Virginia bonds,
secured an execution from the su-
preme court against the common
wealth. To seize any property, essen
tial to the process of State govern.
ment would have been unconstitution-
al. According to this story. Royall
directed the United States Marshall
to seize the bust of William Malone
in the state capitol, but Governor Lee
heard of this and closed the doors OF
the hall in which the bust stood and
stands yet. This was more. than 80
years ago. Royal and Malone were
bitter, enemies, and Malone had beer
the leading opponent of those who ia
vored the settlement of the debt ac
cordlng to the terms proposed. Tht
gentleman who recalled this incident
admitted, that he might be mistaken
but did not think so.

WAR BREAKS UP ESTATES
Historic Country Properties Sacrific'
ed Because of "Pinching" of
Owners.

London, April 25.-The aristocratic
owners of England's famous country
estates, comprising thousands of idle
acres are selling their holdings
because the war has pinched them
financially. This is believed to mean
that the idle land will be broken into
small holdings and that England will
. become an important agricultural
nation.
Il These grand country manors, cast
les and mansions on immense reserv-
es Of idle land have been famous for
centuries as deer parks, shooting pre-
serves, lands of the fox hunt, golf
and fishing. Today they are a drug
on the market.

THE DEMOCRACY OF THE DEAD

In the democracy of the dead. all
men are at last equal. Their is neith-
cr rank nor station nor perogative
in the republic of the grave. At this
fatal threshold. the philosopher ceas-
es TO be wise and the song of the poet
is silent. Dives relinquishes his mil
lions and Lazarus his rags. The
poor man is as rich as the richest
and the rich man as poor as a pauper.
The creditor loses his usury and the
debtor loses his obligation. There
the proud man surrenders his dig
mites, the politician his honors, the
worlGling his pleasures; the invalid
needs no physician, and the laborer
rests from unrequitod toll.
Here at last, is natures final de-
cree in equity. The wrongs of time
are redressed. Injustice is eXpiated,
the irony of fate is refuted, the un-
equal distribution of wealth, honor,
capacity, pleasure and opportunity,
which makes life such a cruel and
ineXpliciable tragedy, ceases in the
realms of death. The strongest there
has no supremacy, and hte weakest
needs no defense. The mightiest
captain succumbs to that invincible
adversary, who disarms alike the vic
tor and the vanquished. j.
ingalls, eulOgy on Congressman Burns
Of Missouri.

REV. ROEBUCK HAS
A STRENUOUS DAY

Last Sunday was a memorable day
for Rev. A. H. Roebuck, pastor of
the Celna Circuit NJ. Il. Churches
At 1880 he delivered the memorial
sermon at the Mendon NJ. Il. church
to crowded house from the text Of
Mark 14-9 This shall be for a mem
orial." The greatness of America
and the noble part done by the boys
in blue was very carefully delneated
with expressions Of congratulation
from many of his old time friends at
MendOn. After taking dinner with
his son, c. L. Roebuck and family,
he drove to Fountain Chapel, a dis
tance of IL miles, and assisted in the
Sunday school. Then he gave the
same sermon to an appreciative audi
ence at $500 pm. Thence to Mercer,
7 miles more, giving them the same
sermon. After the sermon, installa.
tion services Of the newly elected Off
GERS of the Epworth League were
held. The singing was fine at all of
these services. They then drove to
home in Celina, arriving at the par
songae at 1900. The tired out mem
Der of the party was Billy, the driv-
ing horse.

THE RIGHT ROAD

Young man, you are a locomotive;
you are thing that goes by power
inside of you; you are made to go.
In fact considered as a machine, you
are very far superior to a locomotive.
The maker of a locomotive is man
Your maker is mans Maker. You
are as different from an OK, or horse
or a camel as a locomotive is from a
wheelbarrOW or cart or a coach.
Now, do yuo suppose that the Being
who made Ou-manufactured your
machine, and put into il the motive
poweT-did not make a special road
for you to run upon? My idea of re-
ligion is that it is track for human
locomotive; and that just so sure as
it undertakes to run on a road adapt
ed only to animal power, it will bury
its wheels in the sands, dash itself
among the rocks, and come to an ine-
evitable wreck. G.. Holland.

CRAzED BY DRINK
4 Cincinnati Derelict Killed Prom
incnt Mission Worker Who Had
Befriended Him

Mrs, Nanny Beatty. of Cincinnati
one Of the best known and most loved
mission workers in the Central West,
was shot to death in that city last
Saturday by a man named TOker,
whom Mrs. Beatty befriended and
was trying to save from the gutter.
What was the cause of the trag-
edy?
Toker explains: Il shot her be-
cause | was crazed by drink"
Mrs Beatty, "A years old, the wild
ow of the Rev. Shirrard Beatty, had
for years given her time energy and
much of a snug fortune to the work
of helping the fallen. She establish
ed missions, visited other cities in
EGI mission work, and 'roKer was one
of the persons she picked up and fl
nally placed him in charge of a small
hotel in Cincinnati. The lure of John
Barleycorn was too much for him and
in his drunken frenzy he struck down
and killed the person who had be
friended him.

Would you feel creepy if you were
Tom Rooney and was to drive the
car built for and partially by the late
Bob Burman? If you are the least
inclined to be superstitious, you'd
never enter the new Premier special
racing car in the Sixth Annual Inter
national Sweepstakes race on the In
dianapois Speedway, May 80.
But Tom Rooney is not given to
spooky emotions that disturb mental
equilibrium and is glad of this, his
second chance of his racing career to
play the star role of driver. His first
opportunity he turned into victory
and bag of gold to the amount of
ten thousand perfectly good made in
U. S. A. dollars. This was late last
fall on the New York speedway when
Tom came in second, averaging bet
ter than 100 miles per hour.
