America Is enjoying steady and

The State Highway Commission of
Virginia was formed just ten years aro.

the work of the department has in
creased by leaps and bounds During
the last fiscal year we constructed n
total OF S46 miles of all classes Of
road. and since the organization Of the
department We had constructed I'D to
the LIST OF October, 1915, a total Of 3,76o
miles. this mileage scattered through
the 100 counties OF the State. During
this year we expect to construct APP
proarmately 800 miles Of road. The
short sections OF road which have been
constructed In the various counties are
gradually being connected up. giving
us a thorough system of State roads.

road purposes approximately $1,000

OF the church are not certain whether they
disappeared soon after they were written
or whether they were lost recently. IL Is
fact. however. that no vestryman or church
official has seen the policies for many years.
Discovery that the papers were missins

OF his church on n business basis. In this
work he was assisted by John q. Plat, who
was elected n vestryman about six months

could find no trace OF the policies.

PROTECTIVE TARIFF SUPREME
ISSUE AT POLLS NEXT WEEK
Republican National Committee Makes
Powerful Presentation of the Case

NEW YORK. Oct 30.-"Back to the
bread line II Wilson's tariff is not re-
pealed" This is the text OF an address
TO President Wilson printed in today's news
papers over the Signature of the Repub-
lican National Committee. II is COM
prehensive and convincing resolution OF the
protective taTifr as the supreme issue OF
be determined at the election next week
1T Is a fact, and you know II is n
fact" the President is told. that under the
operation OF Republican tariff, and prior
to the artificial stimulation of industries
due to the European War. the exports Of
the United States vastly exceeded the i'm
ports. and this excess was steadily and
swiftly reduced I'm the period following the
operation of the Wilson tariff. Thss de-
crease. in the course Of few months con-
tinued until the excess OF exports reached
the vanishing point and was replaced by
balance Of trade on the other side of
the ledger"
The figures are presented month by
month. In support OF the argument for
protection. the summary showing that "in
1913, inclusive. under the Republican tariff
we sold abroad s21s, 10000 more than we
bought abroad, but in the corresponding
months Of 1914, under your tariff, we
bought abroad s3e,000.000 more than we
sold abroad"
Warning is given that with the cessation
OF the munition exports hundreds of thou.
sands of wage-earners will be separated
from the payrolls OF Industrial plants now
supplying the European belligerents and II
back TO the bread line OF 1914"
II is a powerful and unanswerable ar.
gument for protection.

Roosevelt Unable to Appear

Blamed
FOR wHIRLwIND FINISH

Philandcr c. Knox. former Secretary OF
rtate and Republican candidate for United
States Senator from Pennsylvania, will de-
liver the principal address at tie big Re-
publican rally IN the Academy Of Music
Friday night
In spite OF the fact that Theodore Roose-
welt. whom the city committee and other
organizations that are staging the rally
had asked TO speak. was forced to decline
because OF other engagements. Senator Ware
today predicted that the Academy meeting
would be one OF the largest political DEM
onstrations ever held in this city.
Governor Brumbaugh. Congressman J.
Adam Bede, OF Minnesota Congressman
George $. Graham. william Draper Lewis
and probably several leaders OF the city
will also address the meeting. II is adj
rnitted by politicians that Il is altogether
likely Senator Wares prediction as TO the
eize and enthusiasm Of the assemblage
will be borne out TO the full. for the Wares
are making personal efforts to arrange such
n rousing rally as will not only add I'M
petus TO the closing days OF the campaign.

Of three states in the big rally that will
be held in the Academy of Music the same
night
Many Ware leaders are inclined TO blame
Senator Penrose for the failure TO obtain
Roosevelt as the principal speaker. They
are charging him with having played fac
tional politics in the whole affair and with
sthrowing down. Philadelphia and Penn
sylvania Republicans.
In support of their assertions, they point
20 the fact that Roosevelt was asked TO
speak at the Academy meeting full month
ago.
A representative of the Wares presented
the first invitation, and later William Finn,
Of Pittsburgh, Roosevelt leader In Penn
sylvania In 1919, who previously had re-
ceived n declination from Roosevelt to speak
IN Pittsburgh on Friday night wrote to
Roosevelt and asked him to come to Phila-
delphia IL the Colonel could not arrange &c
speak in Pittsburgh.
The invitation extended last Friday tc
Roosevelt to address the voters Of the ma
tion and call upon them to support Hughes
ct the Cooper Union meeting, the Ware fol-
lowers point out, was extended by John
wanamaker who has been closely aligned
politically with Senator Penrose since the
start of the Penrose- -Brumhaugh fight.
