It would be a sad thing if KSSSI to prom ising a career as that of Senator Bail ey should be ended prematurely. He is one of the most brilliant leaders of the south, at a time when the south is In great need of leadership. Even if she has no leader of special value, with the exception of Booker Washington, the quality of leadership should be cultivated in the hope that the cruder forms of it may develop into service able guidance. In politics the lead ership must necessarily be in the hands of democratic statesmen, and of these none seemed more promising than Senator Bailey of Texas. The mention of his name as a possible candidate for the presidency expresses a wish rather than an expectation. But it is of promise to the south that such a thing has been deemed even within the bonds of possibility. In some respects therefore the misfor tunes that threaten him have espec ially tragic interest. It 1s charged against hW that he has received moneys from Standard Oil, through one of its subsidiary com panies. for services earned in secur ing Standard Oil's occupancy of the Texas field, after the legislature had expelled it from the state and, as was hoped, had saved its promising oil fields from exploitation by the great monopoly. The charge has been made before, substantially, and the de fence urged was that Senator Bailey had not exceeded the limits of proper professional service of a lawyer to his client. Now, however, the senator's defense is that the attorney general of the state has conspired against him, and that the vouchers which the at torney general has obtained for evi dence showing the payment of money* to Senator Bailey are forger ies. The defense has undertaken a hard case to prove. Unless Senator Bailey's defense is established it seems certain that the legislature will not Return him to the senate of the United States. If that is done hif $ublio prominence will be ended Without prejudicing the case and with the hope that Senator Bailey may clear himself ^nd continue for many years a career Increasingly useful, the matter has a national importance in any event. Here Is a man refused r' 4 9 senators. Subserviency to monopolistic Interests has grained many senatorial chairs. When those interests were threatened the monopolists had their representatives in the supreme legis lative chamber of the world. This does not apply to the senate as a body, but to a considerable number of individuals among them. And other senators whose sympathies were an tl-monopollstlc have felt that great in terests were too threateningly strong to be resisted. And now the very opposite condition prevails in Texas at least, anil implication in the cause of the power that has ruled the people is making it impossible for a man to keep political prominence. The Sentiment in Texas with regard to Senator Bailey represents the sen timent in every state in the union. It is evident that much has been done and much gained to bring about such a condition. It is of special significance that the opposition to Senator Bailey for his supposed connection with Standard Oil centers in the Texas state legisla ture. The state legislature has seem ed to be a weak point in the defence of the people against monopoly. It is for this reason that direct popular election to the United States senate is urged so strongly. But here is a legislature above monopoly's reach, as it scams now and truly representing the conviction and determination of the people. Whatever the success or failure of Senator Bailey's attempt to clear himself, the incident Is one of the signs of the good time coming, or rather of the good time which is al ready here.

British Medical Journal: Only an imaginary remedy will cure an imaginary disease, which is true to tlie old maxim, "similia simillibus cur antu." This may be condemned by the righteous as quackery, but quack ery of a kind it undoubtedly is. But if the real end of medicine is to cure can she, when legitimate means fail, afford to despise anything that re lieves suffering even tfcougfc jthflt suf* fering be imaginary?

Indeed, it is one of the? old est in Virginia, although it has under gone certain improvements which were required by reason of wear and tear, but the workmen have f»ot al tered, the style of architecture. when noted Scotch baron of Cameron, came from "jilted" —to say the naked truth—by a love ly young woman of noble birth. Most readers and students of historical lit erature are acquainted if not familiar, with the life of Lord Fairfax in this country. He owned all the "northern neck of Virginia"—not merely that portion of the Virginia of today, but the Virginia of nearly two centuries ago, when the old Dominion extend ed her boundaries as far west as th Ohio river. Were Lord Fairfax liv ing today and so situated he would probably be derided as a trust mag nate or a monopolist. But the land grant and being human and natural, he, of course, gratefully accepted the royal present, for be it remembered the house of Cameron ranked high In Britian. "Lord Fairfax's American home was called "Greenway Court.' It was as now, situated near Whit Post, Clark county, Virginia, which is a pleasant drive southeast from Winchester. On his deathbed in England Lord Fairfax made arrangements for his funeral. He wished to be buried in the country to which he had come to try and forget the bitter past in Eng land, and today the bones and dust of the former owner of all the land as far west as the Ohio river repose In a massive vault- of cement and limestone under the altar of Old Christ church of Winchester, which he endowed. The first vestry organization was in 1744 its action recognized in 1747. This vestry was dissolved by act of general assembly in 1780. The church thus losing its connection with the state, its vestry organization became purely ecclesiastical. Prior to this, one part of their work and office was to be overseers of the popr. The present pastor is* the Rev. William D. Smith. Although here less than a year, he has succeeded in hav ing erected in Christ church a $4,000 pipe organ, which is said to be the largest and most magnificent instru ment of the kind in. the valley of Virginia.

"Look here, Maud," he said sternly, "if that young man of yours is going to call four nights a week regular tell him to come after dinner." "It Isn't, necessary, father," replied the young girl. "That's what he cozaes after." A local glove dealer took from a cabinet the other day a handsome pair of brown gloves. "Ratskin," he said. "These gloves are made of ratskin. They look well at first glance, but examine them care fully. Look into the skin." The skin, though soft and fine and supple, revealed on close examination a great many cuts and scars and scratches. None of these went quite through nevertheless their effect was to weaken the gloves greatly. "Those cuts and scars," said the manufacturer, "are what bar ratskin out of glove making. You never get a skin without them. Hence you can't make a good, strong, perfect rat skin glove. "These scars are the result of the rats' pugnacity. Rats fight so much that they become at ah early age a mass of scars. Their torn hides are of no use to commerce." Accusation, consternation and re taliation all reigned supreme yester day on a Milwaukee depot car when a young and rather attractive woman hurriedly arose from her seat and in tones of anguish, expressing the sor row of her heart, cried: "Oh, dear, I've lost my purse." "S'matter?" excitedly iftqulred* her escort. k "Oh, oh, dear—my purse, m-uiy lunch money, car fare, and—and—and —and—things. Had them in my purse when I got on, an— and—now oh, some one took it. I just know they did. There wiis a big fat man standing here, and he—he moved.' Where is he—where did he go? The several big fat men in the car looked uncomfortable under the sus picious glances cast toward them by the other passengers. The conductor came to her side. "How much did you have, Miss?" he asked. "Well, you see—why, just my car fare and—and lunch money, but I didn't want to lose them."

"Sure," said the man from the south. "Why, every man I was introduced to said, 'What will you have?' Oh, they are certainly great people down there."

The charge against him now is assault with a dangerous weapon. The letters were written as a result of his being "jilted."

"They are no account for soldiering," he would bluster in his tremendous bas so. "They pajit, they wheeze, they snort, they choke, they grunt, they! groan, they waddle, they slouch through the world. Not a particle of good on earth, fat soldiers—would not have one of 'em around if I could help it." "Er—but—er—you would not ex actly—er—call yourself slight would you colonel?" a venturesome major once asked Shafter after one of these out bursts. "Slight? No!" Shafter thun dered in reply. "I've been a fat blob by old nuisance ever since the day I tipped the beam at over 200 pounds, and right then I ought to've been court martialed and cashiered for outrage ous and malicious adiposity, sir—for scandalous corpulence to the preju dice of military discipline."
