RICHMOND, Va, August 22.-The
Republicans are to name d full State
ticket for the regular November cleo
ton at the State convention In Roa'
noke September 3. The nominees will
come from the various sections, being
grouped in no one district. 1t looks
like Harris Hoge of Roanoke or IL. II.
Rumble of Norfolk will be the candi-
date for governor Both are strong.
The party is TO make a hard fight. 1t
has d good organization.
A friend of former Representative
Slemp said there is not a chance that
Slemp will accept the nomination. Mr..
Slemp is doing remarkably well at his
profession in Washington, he declared,
and cannot afford to accept.
Delegates are being selected
throughout the State.
Looking Far Ahead
Democrats are still discussing the
primary of August 4. Many are scan
ming the figures and pointing TO the
position which Col. John r. saunders,
the attorney general has assumed by
leading the State ticket with about
double the ma jority cast for any other
candidate. Col Junius +. West,
named to succeed himself as lieutenant
run. Col. James II. Price of Rich
mond, who is to be the speaker of the
next House of Delegates, holds the
center of the stage with powerful
following as candidate.
Judge James 2. WodS of Roanoke,
who shied at the nomination for the
State Corporation Commission, is
understood to be the man whom the
organization has chosen as heir TO
the mantle of Harry +. Byrd, when
he shall have completed his term.
FIe comes from the southwest, which
has had three governors in the last
% years. There are some who insist
that Senator Mapp is entitled TO one
more show for the nomination, and
he may offer again.
Committee to Convene.
Chairman Hoker of the State
Democratic committee Is to have a
meeting of that body here during the
first week of September possibly on
September 3, at which time the formal
declaration of the nomination of the
primary will be made and steps taken
TO get ready for the campaign and
TO put men on the stump. The real
trouble will be to poll the vote that
was east in the primary. and no one
expects that this will be done, save
IN the districts IN which the Eepup-
licaus or independents" shall have
candidates for places TO be filled.
The vote in the general election will
be small, save that where there Is
OPPOSITION TO the nominees of the
Democrats there may be a fair re
sponse on the part of the voters.
There is not likely to be any change
in the incoming Legislature.
There viii be no change in the mat
ter OF equalizing the assessments of
property for taxation. Some coun-
ties will still pay less than 10 per cent
cent of the sales of property for taxa
tion-that is, the valuation of the
property will be less than 10 per cent
of the prices at which property is
being sold. There will be no change
of consequence in the matter of ad-
1usting the fees Of the State officers.
and the chances for consolidation Of
offices is remote.

as he Is known throughout Virginia.
Many OF his flock look upon the oc-
casion as one of the most important in
the history of the parish. He was
born in Belgium more than 20 years
ago. For 25 years he served the
priesthood in Belgium and in 1900 de-
cided that there was a greater field
for work in the United States. He
went up to Nova Scotia TO conduct a
mission for the French Canadian fish
ermen. While there he received a let

learn it in a year. FIe consented. and
was placed at Staunton. and given as
his field of cndeavor the counties of
Augusta Rockbridge, Rockingham,
Bath and Highland.
Gladly Faced Hardships.
Not only was he content to accept
the hardships of pioneer life while
spreading the gospel: he was willing
10 support himself while doing SO.
For six years he travelled around on
horseback, on the highways and in the
byways. Il preached" he says,
wherever I could find an audience,
talking many times to adults who had
never before seen Catholic priest" &"
His headquarters were transferred
to Danville for three years. and his
missionary field enlarged to the whole
State, in which he worked with an
other priest. During these three years
Father Van was the editor of a mis-
sionary magazine, the Catholic Nir-
ginian. Then the bishop assigned him
to Oak Ridge the church attended by
Thomas T. Ryan. financier. whose
generosity had built several churches
in Virginia. including the present one

New Parish Created.
In d few years he welded Fairfax
Station. Manassas and Pleasant Val
ley into a parish under another priest
while he continued to serve the re
mainder of his large field.
In 1920 Father Van built church
in PurcelIville and is now building one
in Herndon. Father Van, though in
his seventies, says mass every day
and breaches every Sunday.
The golden jubilee celebration will
last all day. 1t will consist of a
solemn high mass at the ST. James
Church. a dinner at the parish hall
and a public reception. The Belgian

There, sitting by half-eaten
carcass Of a buffalo, was great
big lion, licking his chops, and
there, finishing up the meal, were
9 pack OF jackals tearing the meat
away from the bones and fight
ing and scratching each other in
their fury and hunger.
We lay breathless. Soon the
lion got up, yawned, and walked
off laZily into the wood, leaving
the jackals to their feast
What does it mean?" whis-
pered to Bunny, as snapped my
kodak.
THAT those lazy good-fornoth-
ing jackals are too lazy to rustic
for their own food, so they follow
a lion while ha stalks his big
prey. They know he can't eat a
whole buffalo or a deer in one
meal, so they wait until he has
finished, and then, as it were, sit
down to the second table. That's
why / can't understand why those
wretches are called lions pro-
viders.' A lion should be called
the 'tackals' providers"
