VIRGINIA GOES DRY

Virginia goes dry November 1. The
new regime enters under auspices much
more favorable than those under which
Alabama and other states. following 81
years behind Maine, adopted the political
innovation. The people voted Virginia
dry. As a result of an investigation made
in Richmond, The Age-Heralds repre-
sentative is prepared to state that the
people of Virginia-the business people
are determined to give prohibition a fair
trial 1t is thought probable, as a re-
suit, that success to a certain extent,
will follow. The condition which now
prevails in Alabama-a condition under
which all men secure their quart and

ton has failed-until, in other words

Poor Explanations.

1t was Pennsylvania manufacturers
who spoke of business as trembling
in the presence of the Democratic par
the same sensitive barometer, and
compelled to admit a certain general
prosperity, remarks that much of the
hopefulness is based upon the as
sumption that the Wilson administra-
ton and Its policies will be defeated
and protection will be restored to the
nation" So used Is Senator Penrose,
like Representative Mann and others,
to whistling to keep up his courage,
that when he perceives business in a
whistling frame of mind he can think
of no other explanation. The psychol.
ogy Of business, according to these
Republican diagnosticians, is a fear
full and wonderful thing. In 1907, be-
yond any doubt, it was some previ-
sion of 1912 that caused a panic. The
depression Of the last two years arose
from the consciousness that, whatever
happened, business was in for Demo-
cratic misrule till 1917. But business
can reach an almost unparalleled
pitch of prosperity upon the mere
hope that such misrule will not ex-
tend beyond that year. One puzzling
aspect of these explanations" is that
their authors should admit SO much
virtue in a mere frame of mind-vir-
tue able to triumph over the hard
facts presented by Democratic meas
ures. Another lies in the circumstance
that a multitude of manufacturers con-
fess to doing well at the same time
they contemplate the probable re-elec.
ton of President Wilson.

DOES NOT CONVINCE
Speech of Ex-Secretary Root Is
FalIacious.
His Arrangement Of the Policies of the
Democratic Party Adroit but Eas-
lily Answered by Any
Thoughtful Person.

it is trite to remark the distin-
guished ability Of Hon. Elihu Root of
New York. Political friend and foe
alike recognize his intellectual pre-
eminence and his keynote speech be-
fore the New York Republican con-
vention was adroit in all respects and
a plausible arraignment of the Demo-
cratic administration.
To those who are constitutionally
at enmity with the Democratic party
his u~tterances will no doubt be regard
ed as a masterpiece.
But Mr.. Root was quite as fallacious
as ever, as may be seen by all who
will analyze his speech.
II he tells US that the Democratic
party is late In realizing the necessity
for greater armament, why does he
not tell us why it is that in the half
publican party vas in control 40 years
without an adequate naval program be-
ing adopted until a Democratic admin
istration came in?
The Wilson administration had to
repair the neglect of the Republican
party with respect to the army and
navy, as it had to repair it in respect
of the banking system and currency
system and the revenue system.
Mr.. Root might answer, of course,
that during the Republican admins
trations there was no need of a great
er army and navy. Even if that be
true, he must admit that the Demo
cratic president was quick to recog.
nize the need when it appeared, and
proceeded to evolve a plan to sup
ply it.
AS for the business mixup to, which
he alluded, Mr.. Root is almost ridicu-
lous, in view of the existing business
conditions. The thoughtful people
of the country are not going to be
caught by Mr.. Roots ~fallacies.

country Would choose oulckIx.

The ~Progressives deserve all the aid
the Democrats can give them in urg-
ing Roosevelt upon the Republican
party. In this delicate situation of all
our foreign relations, giving Mr.. Roose-
welt the presidency would be very
much like giving a boy a knife; some
thing would get whitfield. Persons
who recall LELAND vast numbers do
and have heard Mr.. Roosevelt's CON
tinuous and indecent attacks upon the
mar who defeated him, will not be-
long in making choice between the
president and the ex-president.

long ago he was sent to a town in the
middle West to investigate quietly the
condition of a bank there. In order
not to arouse any suspicious he used
an assumed name in registering at
the hotel.
All day long he busted himself
about the town and went to his hotel
at night tired and footsore.

"This old chap used to sit all day

bought a ticket in the Louisiana state
lottery. Finally his persistence was
rewarded, and he was notified that he
had won the $4,000 prize. He closed
his shop, bought an outfit of new
clothes and went up to New York, as
he had always dreamed of doing.

COUSIN BOB" BROUSSARD's HOLD

Down in his state Of Louisiana
Robert F. Broussard, United States
senator, is generally addressed as
"Cousin Bob" and, indeed, he seems
to be related to most Of the people
in his district, If not most of those in
the state. He speaks Louisiana
French, which is a language entirely
distinct from Notwithstanding
school French, or learn-to-speak-
Observation-Disclosures French.
SNeaking their language as he does,
"Cousin Bob" has a strong hold on
the people of his section of the state,
and their main religion is to vote for
Bob Broussard without question and
without stint whenever he runs for
anything.
When Broussard was running for
the United States senate, Representa-
tive James B. Aswell was seeking
election to the lower house of con-
gress. Aswell was talking to a man
in the section where Broussard is best
known, and asked him for his vote.

INVENTOR OF THE FOKKER

Mijnheer Fokker, the inventor of
the monoplane that bears his name
and that for several months has been
greatly disturbing the adversaries of
Germany by its speed and destructive
powers, is a native of Holland, and is
said to be not more than twenty-three
Or t~wenty-four years old. He has
spent the greater part OF his life in
Germany, but would appear to be
thoroughly familiar with the French
flying machines. A number of the de-
vices on the Fokker are claimed by
the French to be outright copies OF
their own.
About five years ago Fokker made
his appearance in the German flying
corps, and his first monoplane was re-
ceived with such small enthusiasm
there that the invention was offered
to the British government. Some Eng.
fish experts examined 1t, recommend
ed it as being uncapsizable, but so bad
ly constructed that it made the flyers

Nothing more a heard of Fokker, except in a general way, until his
formidable new monoplane entered the field last December and speedily
captured, for the time being, the honors of war.
The chief value Of the Fokker is its speed, this being overo n hundred
