Never mind how strongly of IIYOMl-ll

15 drops of MYOME1 should be poured

That the women of Virginia?as
least part of thorn?want the suffrage,
and want It bad, is evident from tho
largo number of square envelope!*;
which pack the senatorial mall. One
Senator stated yesterday that he has '
received sixty letters from women dur?
ing the past week?all of them asking
his support of the bill to be. Introduced
at the. present session giving the wo*
men of the State the same suffrage
rights as thc men.
Women's suffroge seems to liava
passed the stage of being legitimst?
matter for Jokes, and. from the busi?
ness-like manner In which It Is beinrf
agitated. bld9 fair to take rank with
the big questions which are beforo th0
lawmakers. Most of the letters con
line themselves to formal requests for
support, while a number of others go
Into the matter more fully, advancing
arguments In Its favor.
Flowers, tobacco and eggs?egge of
the hotter' class, however?figured in,
thc decorations which ornamented
Senate desks at yostorday's session. (
Admirers of Senator E. C Folkes. of i
Richmond city remembered him with
two large bunches Of red and white .
carnations. Thn less fortunate Sena- ,
tors promptly multllated one of tha
hunches for bouttonleres, but tho other
was rescued by a page. A large plug

ing of Secretary B. O- James to tho
Richmond lawmaker.
The eggs referred to camo from Ben
P. Owen, private secretary to Governor
Mann. Senator IT. G. Fletcher, ot
Faueuler. found thorn on his desk
when he entered the Senate chamber,
sharing a small paper box with a halC
dozen red car.natlons. The note ac?
companying thc gift explained that tho'
eggs were strictly fresh, and that they
were offered to set at rest certalni
doubts expressed by thc Senator as tri
Mr. Owen's efficiency as a farmer.
A Joint caucus of th-? Republicans of
the. General Assembly was held yes?
terday, the members deciding upon
their pourro In the Legislature. Sen?
ator J. Towell Royall, of Tazeweil.
was chosen as floor leader of tho
minority In the Senate, while Captai.t
L IT. Wls'sler, of Smyth, will occupy
thc same position in the House of
DolearateH.
It Is probable that party candidates
will he put up for tho United States
scnatorshtps, receiving , tho compli?
mentary votes of the Republicans in
the Joint session.
Governor Mann's Message
to the General Assembly
iContinued Kroin Sixth Pugo.i
had hern made lip to January 1, 1912.
The law, however, needs some amend:
ment. Kor example. It requires notice
before bunks known to be Insolvent
can be taken in Charge and deposits
stopped; the examiners should have
the power as soon as Insolvency ap?
pears to tukc charge of the Hank.
There are some other amendments
which will be included in a bill to
bo presented to the General Assembly
and which I trust, will he pasted.
Htirenu of l,ahor and ImliiNtrtal Stn
tlatlea.
This bureau was established by the
General Assembly of IS97-S and has
proved to be - un Important and valu?
able department. The duties of the
commissioner have been greatly en?
larged by laws enacted from tlpie to
time and by the growth of manufacttir- j
Ing establishments, the value of whoso
output Is increasing lit the yearly sum
of about sixteen millions of dollars.
The commissioner In view of these facts
cannot properly dischurgc his duties of
Inquiry and inspection with lits pres?
ent force. The bureau is well and
economically manured, furnishes with
promptness and accuracy the Infornui
tlnn for which the Governor cnlla from
lime to time and deserves to have Its
appropriation increased from eight
thousuud six hundred and seventy,
three dollars to ten thousand dollars,
lusuraucr.
This Is now effected on the Stute
buildings in Richmond by the Register
of the Land Ofllce and on the buildings
of the several institutions of the
State by the oilier rs In charge of those
institutions. This could be better and
more cheaply done by our Commission?
er of Insurance who is fully luforined
as to tho solvency of tho Insurance
companies - a nil their method of busi?
ness. A record of all tho policies, its
well as the policies themselves on nil
the buildings belonging to the State,
could then be kept In Richmond. A
bill to carry out this recommendation
win be presentoid to the General As?
sembly and I trust will bo minded Into
law.
I'nuinin-I'ucilie liiteruntltuinl Exposi?
tion, till.',.
I'nder authority from Congress, but
without financial aid from the Federal
government, the State of California will
liol,| a great exposition In San l'r.inv
Cisco in I'M-",, to celebrate the opening
of the Panama Canul to the commerce!
of the world. If Virginia Is to take
part In thin exposition, to which she
has been most cordially and kindly In?
vited, an appropriation will have to be.
made by the General Assembly and ti
commission appointed to collect und
put upon exhibition the timber, mltterul
and agricultural products of the
State, and In some adequate way lu j
advertise to the world the wonderful
resources and possibilities of the Old
l 'oitilnlon.
Military.
I trust the legislature will consider
the propriety of making it a misde?
meanor for employers to discharge em?
ployes because of their connection w'th
the volunteer organization of the State.
I uni glad to say there ahs been no oc?
casion to use the military in aid of the
civil authorities during my admlnlsirar
tlon, and I trust thero will not be, but
It Is the organized forcc which rep- I
resents tho power of the people behind j
every act of the government, and a!1 !
Stood citizens ought to recognize the
necessity for such organization, und in- j
stead of hindering should encourage I
enlistments. The men constitutliiB (
these organization's have to make sac
'riflces of tlmo and money, and should I
not be required to givn up positions J
because they are willing to serve the
State.
Muri trul I nrc.
Since the last session of the General
.Assembly, there has been a substantial
and rapid advance In our apple Indus?
try; the.us.inds of trees have been
planted on land v.Ulch experience show's
is capiible of producing when appear?
ance and lldvor aro considered the
best fru.ll grown In the United States.
I might H.iy In thc world. Our pco.
pie nnd those In other sections are
waking up lo the vulue of our apple
lands, and no money could be belter
spent than a liberal appropriation for
the development of this ?great and
rapidly Increasing Industry.
Prompt unit Efficient I.asv Enforce?
ment.
I renew thc recommendations of my
luaugurnl address upon this subject.
An uct should be passed prohibiting
trial and appellate courts from setting
aside verdicts of Juries ntui granting
new trials In criminal cases except on
the merits. 1 am sure sueli an act
would meet with approval of our
courts, but the practice uf regarding
technicalities has become so firmly
llxed In our practice that it will be
Impossible for our courts, "although
realizing the evil," to remedy It. Too
remedy, however, is within the power
of the Gollern] Assembly.
I sincerely trust that In considering
the important matters of this message,
every member of the General Assembly
may have In view the best interest of
our beloved State, and looking to tho
God of States and Individuals, may bo,
guided to his conclusions by that "\vis>-'
dum which Is profitable to direct."
