VIRGINIA AND QUAIL

After many attempts to raise diff

of Virginia found that their best
crop was quail. So the State Com
mission of Game and Inland Fisher
les has specialized on breeding these
birds for the past two or three
years. NJ. D. Hart of Richmond,
Executive Secretary of the Commits
sion, and one of the best known
game authorities in the United
States, says that Virginia will have
the best quai shooting in it's history
this year. In raising quail and
other wild life, Mr.. Hart says that it
is important to restrict the activi-
ties of dogs. In quail breeding sec
tlons of Virginia where dogs are not
to run at large eighty per
cent of the eggs were Matched, while
IN sections where hounds and mixed
dogs were allowed free range sixty
i've per cent of the eggs hatched.
Where bird dogs were allowed, to
run only forty-five per cent of the
eggs were hatched. Virginia has

CAN'T SPLIT THE TICKET

"How can 1 vote for Curtis and not
for Hoover?' How can l vote for
Robinson and not for Smith," These
are examples of numerous questions
we receive daily from persons who
desire to split" the national ticket
The answer it: It can't be done! If
you vote for Curtis you will have to
vote for Hoover, and vice versa.
Likewise, if you vote for Robinson
you will have to vote for Smith, and
again vice versa. In each state
certain number of electors" are
elected by popular vote. Voters do
not vote directly for president and
but for these elect
Ors. Each party proposes a list of
electors and the group which wins
will vote for its party nominees
Hoover and Curtis, or Smith and
Robinson. Technically and legally
these electors can vote for anybody
they please, but they are morally
bound to vote for their party nomi-
lees and they always do.-The Path

SENATOR CURTIS APPEAL
TO WOMEN VOTERS

The appeal of Senator Curtis to
women of this country to take a
more active part in politics-voiced
in his speech formally accepting
the Republican Vice Presidential
nomination - should be needed.
There are 26,OOO,0O0 women voters
and with them lies an almost su-
preme power. Alone they have the
power to turn any national election,
to keep government and politics
clean and on a high plane, to see
that national policies are such that
the country remains prosperous and
that its welfare always is foremost
in the minds of its officials.
Senator Curtis is adequately fitted
to make this appeal, for he has long
championed legislation of the type
close to Women's hearts. He was
foremost in getting equal suffrage
for the women and has been active
in NSuch other legislation advocated
by them. So, he is not uttering idle
words when he warns them that un-
less they do vote, they might as
well never have fought for suf-
frage.
1t was natural that women should
play but small part in the 1920
presidential election for they had
just received the right of suffrage
and knew little of politics. There
was little for them to do in 1924, (
but this year they have the benefit
of eight years of national political
experience and they have in the
candidates two men they
always have admired. There is a
big place in the 1928 campaign for
women and they should not hesitate
to fill it.
AS Senator Curtis points out, the
principles and the record of the Re-
publican party are certain to appeal
to women. Through it have come
peace and prosperity, better pay for
he man Of the house with resulting
for the woman. and
generally improved living condi- !
ions. The Republican party has
always welcomed and encouraged
in its affairs by wo-
men. Through it women have been :
appointed to responsible govern
mental positions; it has caused ap- '
'ointment of women diplomats and =
vomen federal judges and procured Q
he election of women legislators. v
t has fostered the nrincip1a &C T
not just in theory, but in F
act. +,

NATIONAL ASSET

Editorial in the Saturday Evening
Post, on April IA, two months before
Mr., HOOver's nomination.
With men of the Hoover stamp.
the incredible is forever happening.
When Fate finds a youngster who
never falls down on any job intrust-
ed to him, no matter how hard Or
strange, no matter what obstacles
beset him, she cannot let him alone.
As long as he lives and has his
health she thrusts challenge after
challenge, job after job, upon him;
first in the hope of seeing him trip,
latterly that she may admire the
skill and effectiveness of his attack.
Mr.. Hoover is such a man His
personality and his record appeal
to those who are used to doing great
things and hard things and know
their own kind. 1t is no wonder
that the big, broad-gaUged men of
the country those who are it's real
producers and who are contributing
most to its development, are his
staunchest supporters. Nor is it
without significance that those who
have worked for and with Mr.. Hoo
yer are his most loyal adherents.
They know his metal and they
know what has gone into the forg-
ing OF it. They appraise at their
true value his knowledge of condi-
tions over the greater part of the |
civilized world; his unusual gift for !
working with other men and COM |
manding their loyalty, his intimacy |
with his own land from coast to |
coast, his intensive schooling in Of
hclal life and his sound views on
business, commercial and economic
matters.
Then, too, there are even more
to bless him for his humanity than
to praise him for his ability as an
executive and for his genius for get
ting things done. No man can unite
such characteristics with integrity
of character and fail to make a
powerful appeal to formidable mass
es of American citizens.
The idea of maintaining opposing
parties guided by different politicaI
principles is sound, but we often
carry it to too great lengths; and
the smaller minded our politicians.
the farther they run it into the '
ground. If Herbert Hoover has t
been cursed with this species of ego
he would never have got where he l
is. He could not have done his /
work. He could not have begun if.
Such a mind would have made him l
put little prejudices first and great t
ends last. Thought in the large c
and strengthens basic DO g
itical convictions and deep guiding t
but it is death on the a
BETTY parasites that cling to them 7
ike ticks on a cows leg. n
From whatever angle he may be a
egarded, Herbert Hoover is a ma n
ional asset of incalculable value. p
lis extraordinary prestige, at home W
II abroad, has not yet been fully Il
capitalized for the benefit of his II
wn people. el
