So formidable was the line up and so audacious the slogans, demands, music and tramp, tramp tramp of the marching that it began to look like attack in force on the White House.
 There has been good deal of this sort of thing with the 'Drys, Consolidated" They tried it on Mir Coolidge, and even intimated that he ought to be mpeached MT. Coolidge disposed of the brag- adocio with his usual tactcs-studied, contemptious silence. The "Drys Consolidated" concluded to be meek and take such crumbs they might discover lying about, and confined their bulldoz- ing to smaller fry than the President The indica- tions are that MT. Hoover has been giving them of the Coolidge medicine. At any rate the story from Washington that Mrs. Willie brandt will retire from office. MT. Hoover is the power at Washington not the "Drys, Consolidated And they cannot stampede him.

Byrd himself is an apple farmer are remaking the State. Virginia has discovered that instead of being poor she had great natural advantages in coal ore, water power and land.
 But much of the credit for the transformation must be given to Gov. Byrd's progressive Admin istration following that of E. Lee Thinker. Gov Byrd counts the reform of taxation his greatest single achievement; the State has given up all taxes on land and tangible personal property, and yet converted deficit into heavy surplus. An excellent road system is being built on the pay as -you-go plan with fund of $50,00O,OOO raised by Gov. Thinkers gasoline tax The State Gov ernment has been reorganzed, with a clutter of bureaus boards and commissions swept away in favor of twelve efficient departments. Public schools are being improved; the University of Virginia has been given such appropriations it never dreamed of few years ago. The Old Dominion has reason to be proud of past memories but she is not living in the past.
