 in the air of Virginia. It was not long until every county had a commit tee of safety and an armed militia, call ed the independent companies, formed to be employed against the government should the occasion arise.
 Shortly Williamsburg was TO longer a safe place for the meeting of the pa- triots who were disposed to reslsI- the king, and when the Virginia convention met in the spring of 1775, six months after the great congress at Philadelphia, 1t was not in the capitol, but in old St. Johns church. on a grassy hill in the suburbs of Richmond, overlooking the foaming river.
 The old, colony had been moved by Pat rick Henry's oratory to the extent that there was no turning back. When the news eventually came from the north of the clash of arms from the plains of Concord and Lexington, the militia of Virginia was ready to form, salute the banner of American freedom and march to battle with whoever presumed to deny Its rights-which they did till the happy day came when, on the very peninsula where Virginia was first settled, Lord Cornwallis's officer handed to the officer of General Washington-and he, too, was Virginian-a surrender and owned that the Americans had conquered.

ABSENTEE VOTING.

With bills concerning absentee voting coming before the general assembly this proposition is bound to arouse a large amount of interest, not perhaps So much with the idea of indulging in it but in recognition of the justice of the idea. II is practiced in other states where vot- CTS make use of 1t to greater or less degree. There are restrictions which have to be placed upon it in order to check up the voter and make sure the vote is counted and it Is invariably those points upon which the greatest interest eenters.
 Under the absentee voting idea it Is in- tended that the voter shall not be denied his suffrage privilege because conditions are such that he is not able to get to the polling place where he should east his ballot It is probably there Is only a small percentage of the people who can vote and would vote are unable to do SC because they are out of the state on cleo. ticn day but it can be recognized that under the present law it is impossible fol them to be numbered anung those vot ing.
 It is likewise appreciated that a per Son who IS sick. or because of eeciden is unable to walk, has some ground fo feeling that such physical disability oush not to prevent them from giving expres sion to their wishes regarding office hold CTS or other matters coming up on cleo tion day. Whether 1t will be possible t so extend absentee voting as to cove that phase Is rather uncertain. It pre- sents so many conditions and leads to s many possibilities that it's adoption seem less likely than the straight plan of al sentee voting.
 In some states there is a certai amount of red tape connected with abser tee voting, or voting by mail which dis courages many from taking advantas of iS but if there is due appreciation such a law those inconveniences are nt allowed to interfere.

 At the time Henry was just twenty nine, tall in figure, with a grim ex- pression, small blue eyes and he wore brown wig without powder He had ridden to Williamsburg on "a lean i1orse'' and carried his papers in a pair of sad. de bags.

AGE LIMIT OF supaEs.

Among the measures which have been presented to the general assembly and which will be bound to get careful con- sideration is, that which favors the changing of the retirement age for judges of the superior and supreme courts of the state from 70 to 75 years.
 At the present time when a judge reaches the age of 70 he must conclude his service whether he wants to or not and whether he is in just as good pflysi- cal and mental condition as he was dur ing the previous five or ten years. Be- cause of this provision of the law Con- recttcut has lost the services of a num- Der of excellent judges who have been just as fit to carry on their work since passing 70 as they were before they reached that mark
 After completing his service on the bench Marcus H. Holcomb has for sia years administered the affairs of this state as governor, including the war pc. /riod, and proved a most capable execu' tive, while previous to that time for foul years ex-Chief Justice Simeon E. Bald win was a good governor. Ex-Chief Jus tice Samuel O. Prentice is in every wa, qualified to have continued at the heat of the state supreme court. even as ex Justice Thayer of this city was to con tinue his work in the supreme court while the approach of the age limit b! Judge Greene of this city emphasize the fact that the services of such men fl fine courts of our state ought not to b lost
 Because men have reached the age o 70 does not necessarily mean that tf1ei usefulness has gone, that they have pass ed the age of competency or that the are not fit for a number of additiona years service There are in fact s many instances where the opposite is tn case that thnra is sufficient reason fo the introduction Of the bill, and it woul not be surprising if there was found t be much sentiment in favor of mal1in The advocated change.

4 FRIGHTFUL CONDITION.

Every now and then there are eases of life taking and torture from the south which cause the rest of the people to wonder just what the degree of ciyiiiza tion can be in those parts There seems to be little aversion to taking the law into their own hands by the people of certain of the southern states. They care not whether those who are guilty of crime have been arrested and are facing the penalty for the act they committed, or in many instances whether the ac- eused Is actually guilty of the offense charged, they insist upon the pound of flesh, then and there, guilty or not guil- ty.
 Such gross injustice meted out in most instances to blacks but in some cases to whites is more likely to occur, in some of the southern states than in others. Geor- gia holds the yearly record for such law lessness but even that state has been clearly outdone by the fiendish method re- sorted to by Tennessee mob in roast
 ing alive coiored man who was taken away from the authorities while he was under arrest and on his, way to jail charged with murder. It may be that he deserved the death penalty, and there is nothing to contradict the suppositior that he would have received 1t in a law ful way, and 1t may be as the sherin claimed that every man, woman and child in the county wanted him iynched but that didn't justify the disregardins of the law or the resort to the horrible | means that was taken to torture him fo! half hour or so.

cHAMCn To sroP wAsrn.

Evidsnce galore has been produced concerning goods which were acquired by tho government for war purposes but which were never used. They were or dersd Ia anticipation of future use and were of course on the governments hands when the war ended. In different ways this surplus has been and is being worked of. Where 1t Is properly pro tected against deterioration no great harm Is done in delaying disposal of It, but there appears to he justified com- plaint when 1t is alleged that the refusal to do anything with it, either by utiliz- ing 1t or disposing of 1t. Is causing it to go to waste.
 If Congressman Reaxts of Nebraska is correct a case of this kind exists in the war department which has equipment to the value of more than s1oo. 100000 rust ing and rotting in the open air. which is desired and could be made excellent pse of in road building projects about the country.
 From the claim of the congressman the government has no use for such tractors and other machinery specified. and even If it did the proper attention is not be- ing devoted to its protection by leaving it exposed to the clements. This depart ment appears to be indulging fin that very same waste through failure to care for it's equipment which another branch of the government is repeatedly urging the farmers not to do. and thereby knocking in the head not only the golden advice of the government but indulging in waste when the prevention of waste is what is needed. 5 Congressman Reavis is seeking through
 a bill which he has introduced that this equipment be turned over to the 4s states for road building purposes. Wheth.

THE SHEPHERD PSALM.

What deathless poem the twenty third Psalm is. Our Bibles would be robbed of one of their brightest jewels without it, and our memories of a gar nered and cherished treasure.
 What a multitude there would be could we assemble all who have ever read or snug it. There would be the sufferer on the sick bed, shortening and beguiling his weary vigils, repeating its consultations There would be the martyrs chanting it at the stake as the flower wrapped their red winding sheet around Him. There would be the soldier in his bivouac on the eve of battle pondering it's majestic solace by the smoldering embers of his ire, or his Bible found among the heaps of the slain, with it's leaf turned down at the song of the valley of the shadow of death" There would be the shepherd wondering in green pastures and by still 1 waters, warbling the strains of the in spired minstrel of all time, who had thus
