MORE CONCLUSIVE

The readiness of a majority, both
in Senate and House of Delegates, to
support the proposed issue OF bonds
tor highway construction grows more
unmistakable. The announcement that
delegate Diggs recently has written
to Governor Trinkle expressing his
desire for a special session and bond
issue brings the total of black and
white" pledges up to 80 per cent Of
the House membership. That there
are others who, though less formal
~ committed, would vote for the Is
sue i'm the event of special session
no competent Observer OF Virginia
affairs may now question,
Mr.. Digrs' letter to the Governor
is said to have given Gs reason tor
the formers expression the change Of
sentiment that recently has occurred
among the people of his section. TINS
change Of sentiment Is neither local
nor spotted, but affects every part
OF the State. Members OF the Gen
eral Assembly, accordingly, are fall
ng in line, with the result that the
outcome Of legislative vote no
longer rests i'm the field of che probe

plain duty Of Indicating to the Gov

WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY

The Gazette has received SuS-
gestions from a number OF
sources with reference to an old
time celebration in Alexandria
on George Waahington's Birth
day, February p, next. This
paper believes that it would be a
good thing for the city and fot
its residents if this oldtashioned
custom should be renewed. The
years that AIeNandria's citizens
made SO much o. the birthday OF
the Father OF his Country were
very happy ones indeed and
brought into tie homes OF the
citizens. people from various
parts OF the country.
The revival OF the twenty-sec-
ond of February celebrations IN
Alexandria would once more
call the attention OF the country
to the fact that there is one Place
at least that still reYers the mem
DRY OF Washington and would
bring into our community a spirit
OF good fellowship that has been
lacking ever since it was deter
mined to abandon these events,
The Gazette believes that the
citizens OF Alexandria should get
together, talk the matter over
and see il a rousing celebration
ON February p next, cannot be
held.

A RHODE ISLAhD SCANDAL

The Republican party is about
to acquire another Newberry
case-thiS time from Rhode Is
land. The manager for the Re
publican candidate for the Senate,
Liyington Becllman, is accused OF
handing to a man. presumably 4
diSgruutled Democrat, an eDveI-
ope containing three FIVE hundred
dollar bills, for his support. There
does not seem to have been mucn
doubt about what happened, as
the man who got the Beecllman
money took a Providence news
paper into his confidence in adj
vance. Cordell Hull the Demo
cratic National Chairman, says
the scandal should result in the
reelection OF Senator Gerry, the
only Democrat who has been able
to reach the Senate from that
State since the civil wa.
Chairman Hull is right in
saying what ought to happen, bu:
we are not so certain that it will
work out that way. Rhode Island
is more or less accustomed to bat
ties Of dollars, as we'll as OF bal
lots. But the disclosure may ad-
yerscly affect Republican for
tunes in somcother sections. 1t is
certain Republican leaders would
avoid another Newberry case, as
they would the plague. Withour
any contribution from Rhode Is
land Newberryism is going to
cost the Republican party some
votes in number OF states.

Boston, Mass, Oct. 23,-J, G. Brad
lev Of Dundon, ". Va, president of
the West Virginia Coal Association,
N a statement issued here today,
charge that the railroads Of the
country are contiHUin to discriminate
against the coal industry in face Of
the desperate need Of cars in the
bituminous coal fields.
The statement follows:
The railroads continue to discm-
inmate against the coal industry in
ne face Of the desperate need for
empty railroad cars in the bitumin-
Gus coal fields and 10 the great dam
age of industries and domestic con
sumers needing coal In support of
this assertion is the fact that for the
month of September the per cent OF
cars Of ccal to the total cars loaded
was only seventeen and one halft a.
against a normal Of thirty-four per
cent. which would indicate that less
important bat better paying commodi-
Ties are being moved at the expense
Of coal at this time. Such situation
would seem to be against the coun-
try's best interest

bonding expression from them is
