RICHMOND, VA.. Aug, 20,?The
Senate lit Its next session will have
two men who Will represent distinct?
ly opposing interests, sentiments ami
policies. John A. Leaner, of Norfolk
bounty, who has been nominated lor
the Senate from that district, Is pres?
ident of the Virginia Liquor Dealers'
Association, and as Bitch is much In?
terested III the enactment or legisla?
tion that will give the men engaged
In that traffic all the latitude possible
under proper Control. Judge Mann,
the great apostle of temperance, will
lead the force in opposition to the
wishes ami Ideas of the Norfolk coun?
ty senator, He is an Old man at the
helm ami has BllcCCCdcd in bringing
nl'Mlt much of the restrictive legis?
lation that now finds place on the
statutes of the state. He is n good
Speaker, clear headed and fond of
fight. Judge Mann Is known far and
wide as the foe of the "fake" clubs
with which the state was at one limb
Infested and which have been driven
out of business to a great extent by
measures which he championed in the
Senate.

Dr. CSrnvatt Is a retired naval offi?
cer, lives In Caroline and Is a gen?
tleman who stands well with the poo
tile. He has beep making a still hunt
for votes, has been on the stump and
has debated the Issues. Ho Is not
Inimical to the railroads, but takes
the ground that a representative of the
pudplo should mil be so surrounded
that ho might bolnfliienced In bis yol
lug on matters which affect the peo?
ple. The question has been raised
as to whether lie Is eligible for the
place, the state constitution providing
that no man who holds tiny position
of trust or emolument under the F?d?
eral government can hold office in
Virginia. If ho should win the nomi?
nation there Is good reason to believe
that the right to sit as a member of
the Senate will be raised and would
have to l.'? adjudicated in tlV- courts.
.Politicians ?Muess the belief that
Senator Wlckhani will be returned to
the Senate, and he has scores of
friends who are ncttvoly at work in
libs behalf.

MODERN STORE A MACHINE.
Standardization and the "One-Price"
System Have Changed Business.
The popular Idea Is that a depart?
ment store is merely the grouping to?
gether of a large number of separate
businesses under one roof. Hut the
experiment of assembling businesses
In one store to minimize tho cost of
rent and other fixed charges has been
tried and discontinued as a failure
The success of the department store
rests upon an entirely different prin?
ciple?upon Standardization. The de?
partments are n?t Independent, hut
highly specialized activities conform?
ing to certain fixed laws that gov?
ern tho whole establishment.
The old way of doing business was
simple and tin- methods were highly
elastic. The proprietor bought as
Cheaply us he could, initially in quan?
tities Hint were measured only by his
capacity lo sell and by his credit. Ho
marked the goods in cipher, and left
It to his clerk to got as large a
profit as could be wheedled from the
customer.
Now the difference between ihe
Old way and the new Is the differ?
ence between the old-time workshop,
where everything was made by hand,
and the factory, where machinery
does tho work. The machine makes
articles exactly nllke in standard
sizes and the cost of production Is
enormously reduced, as every one
knows.
Probably the most Important factor
in the development of tho depart'
ment-storo machine Is the Idea of
','oho price articles marked In plain
figures." This makes It possible for
the goods practically to sell them?
selves. The element of bargaining,
Is almost wholly eliminated. The
chief function of the clerk is to see
that the machine works properly. I
do not know who originated this Idea,
