THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1906.
THANKSGIVING DAY
Following the custom which has pre?
vailed in this country, the President of
the United Statias has, by proclamation,
set apart this, the 29th day of Novem?
ber, as a National Thanksgiving day.
Truly ought the people of these
United States to be thankful and pro?
foundly grateful to Almighty God for the
many blessings he has bestowed upon us
as a Nation during the past j ear. Peace,
plenty and happiness have been the
prevailing features, though calamities
have visited some communities. With
so large a Nation, occupying so vast a
territory of the earth, such misfor?
tunes are natural and must be endured.
But, upon the whole, the blessings so
far outweigh and outnumber the mis?
fortunes, that the most sceptical must
concede that God is good, and patient
with his people who live in this country,
where men are born free and liberty is
regarded as the most precious of its
possessions.
The people of America should with
one accord give thanks to God, ' 'for he is
good and his mercy endureth forevar."
STILL LOOKING FOR A MOSES.
We notice from the Bristol Herald
and other papers that the Democrats
are contemplating importing a gentle?
men from another district to be the
candidate of their party for Congress in
this district in 1908. It is announced
that Judge A. A. Phlegar will move to
Bristol, Va., and he is the man that the
Democrats hope will be able to lead
them from the wilderness. Judge
Phlegar is a nice gentleman and an able
lawyer, but he is a Virginia Democrat,
and as such, is not likely to have any
more strength in the Ninth than any
other gentleman of the Democratic per?
suasion who has been living in the dis?
trict. It is a serious reflection upon the
ability and popularity of the leading
and aspiring Democrats of the district
to say that the only hope for their party
to win in this district is to import an
abler and more popular man from an?
other district.
The Republicans of the district will be
entirely indifferent tfcthis suggestion of
Judge Phlegar's ?^JMrfdacy. It is man?
ifest that the djttfct is intensely Re?
publican, sMm? t no Democrat, no
matter how "a?MpirJus he may be, is
likely to r?spiW^tit in Congress in the
near future.
THE WILLIAMSBURG INVESTIGATION
The investigation of the Eastern
State Hospital, at Williamsburg, Va.,
by a committee of the Legislature, ap?
pointed for that purpose, has developed
two facts. One of these is that this
important charitable institution has
been in the hands of an incapable man?
agement, and that not only has it been
incapable but brutal in many respects.
The other fact detsloped by the in?
vestigation is that there are two war?
ring factions in the Democratic party
in Virginia, and that the stronger fac?
tion was hostile to the management of
the Eastern State Hospital. If this
war between the factions will only re?
sult in better management of all our
State institutions and an improvement
in the general conduct of the affairs of
the State government, the struggle
will prove a blessing.
THE SiMMONS-SAUNBERS CONTEST.
After more than two weeks of delay
and fumbling with the returns in the
Fifth District, the Democrats declare
they have elected Saunders to Congress
by a majority of about two hundred.
If what we hear be true he has not
been elected, but Dr. Simmons is
clearly entitled to the seat in Congress.
The Democrats are scouting the idea of
Simmons contesting for the seat; but
if there are any proper grounds for
making a contest he should do it, and
the whole Republican party of the
State will stand with him in the fight.
Mr. Bryan in his newspaper, the Com?
moner, denounces the proposed emer?
gency currency bill which was drafted
by the American Bankers' Association
at its recent meeting in Washington.
Of course Mr. Bryan is opposed to any
increase in the volume or elasticity of
the currency of the country, except by
and through the free coinage of silver. J
THE REPUBLICAN PROGRAM.
At a recent meeting of the Home Mar?
ket Club of Boston, Congressman James
T. McCleary, the defeated stand-patter
of Minnesota, declared in substance that
"protection" was the highest expres?
sion of benevolent patriotism.
Mr. Charles Heber Clark, of the Man?
ufacturers' Club of Philadelphia, stated
that our prosperity and the influx of
immigrants were due to the tariff.
Mr. James W. Van Cleave, of St.
Louis, president of the National Asso?
ciation of Manufacturers, said that he
was in favor of ultimate revision of the
tariff, but wanted nothing whatsoever
done for two years to come.
"Let us urge the present'Congress,"
said he, "next year to pass an act creat-1
ing a tariff commission, to go over the I
entire Dingley law, schedule by sche?
dule, and make a report to Congress,
which can be used by Congress as a bas?
is for revision. Then let us urge the
Republican party, in its national plat?
form of 1908, to promise to revise the
tariff immediately after the inaugura?
tion of the Republican President who is
to be elected in that year. Then, at
the earliest possible moment after the
inauguration of 1909 let that President,
as McKinley did in 1897, when he step?
ped into office, call Congress together
and revise it."
There you are with the Republican
principle and the Republican program?
protection^ a patriotic principle and
no revision of the Dingley tariff for
more than two years.-Rich r.ond Times
Dispatch.
If this be the Republican program, is
it not a sensible one? What's the mat?
ter with the Dingley law anyway? Who
is it hurting, what community in the
United States is being injured under its
operations, or what class of our citizens
are complaining of its inequalities? We
defy our Richmond contemporary to
point out intelligently and successfully
any class of citizens who are being rob?
bed by the Dingley law or any commun?
ity that is not prospering under it. Just
look at Richmond and see how it is pro?
gressing and growing great under the
Republican policy of protection. ?The
merchants, the manufacturers and the
laboring men of that city are more pros?
perous than they have ever been. A
few days ago we saw in one of our
Richmond exchanges that there was a
labor famine in that city and that wages
were unprecedently high. The same
conditions exist in every community in
Virginia and in every section of the
United States. No body is complaining
of the Republican tariff law, except
Democratic politicians and newspapers
and a few manufacturers who want cer?
tain raw materials put upon the free
list.
WATCH THE VOTE DWINDLE.
We have more than once commented
upon the fact that the complications of
the poll tax as a prerequisite to voting
had and would continue to cut down the
vote in this State.
To vote next spring, every voter
should pay hi5 poll tax prior to Decem?
ber 1. There will be many who will
forget it and many who do not care
$1.50's worth to vote. Some cannot
afford it. The poll tax and its cumber?
some provisions will cut the vote all
right. Just watch.?Norfolk Ledger
Dispatch.
Well, it is doing the work the schem?
ing politicians who framed the suffrage
clauses of the new Constitution intend?
ed it should do. The cumbersome and
obstructive provisions of these clauses
were framed for the purpose of curtail?
ing the electorate, to create a great
army of disfranchised citizens, and
place all political power in the hands of
an oligarchy. We warned our Demo?
cratic contemporaries at the time the
Constitution was being made that the
bitter fruits that are now so abundant
would be gathered from the enforce?
ment of the present suffrage laws. But
all the Democratic papers upheld the
Constitutional Convention in its revo?
lutionary and partisan aims and works.
They are now beginning to realize the
great mistake that has been made, but
they decline to call for an amendment
of the dangerous and unfair suffrage
laws.

The wealth of the Southern States is
growing rapidly and enormously.
Strange to say Virginia is now the
wealthiest o? the States that formed
the Southern Confederacy, except the
great Empire State, Texas. The largely
increased wealth of the South is due to
the development of its vast material
resources, the great increase in manu?
facturing enterprises and the conse?
quent development of its agricultural
resources. All this has come under the
economic and industrial policies of the
Republican party. The most remarka?
ble thing is that it has been coming
over the protest and the relentless op?
position of political leaders who have
been dominating; the politics of the
South for more than twenty-five years.

There is some threat of Governor
Swanson calling the Virginia Legisla?
ture to meet in extra session, unless
the railroads consent to make some one
president of the Fredericksburg and
Potomac Railroad who will be free
from the influence of the Pennsylvania
Railroad. An extra session of the
Legislature would give the railroad
lobbyists an excellent opportunity to
show the same skill that they displayed
at the regular session last Winter.

Change of Venue.
(Richmond Times-Dispatch.)
It was reported in our news columns
yesterday that the people of Princess
Anne county were indignant because of
a change of venue in the case of one
John Smith, colored, who had been in?
dicted for criminal assault. Feeling
against the negro was so bitter that an
attempt at lynching was feared, and the
prisoner was escorted from the Norfolk
jail to Princess Anne Courthouse under
military guard, in order to protect him
from the mob. When the prisoner arriv?
ed there was a crowd of men around the
station, "many of whom were angry,"
says the correspondent, "and their mut
terings were violent. ' ' In view of the
intense situation there was a conference
between the Commonwealth's Attorney
and the attorneys for the prisoner, as a
result of which the judge granted a
change of venue on the ground that the
prisoner could not secure a fair trial in
Princess Anne county.
For this act the judge and the attor?
neys on both sides are to be commend?
ed, and not condemned. The Constitu?
tion guarantees to every man accused of
a crime a fair trial, and when, in any
community, the feeling against the pris?
oner at the bar is so intense as to re?
quire a military guard to save him from
mob violence, it goes without Baying
that a fair trial is impossible. In all
such cases there should be a change of
venue, not on the prisoner's account,
per se, but on account of our court sys?
tem itself, and in behalf of law and or?
der.
A few years back a prisoner was tried
in the northern part of Virginia for
criminal assault, and although he was
protected by military guard sent to the
scene by the Governor, some man in the
courthouse actually crept up behind him
and slipped a noose over his head. It re?
quired prompt interference on the part
of the officers to prevent the prisoner
from being choked to death in the pres?
ence of the court. It is needless to say
that the trial was a mockery, and to all
intents and purposes a legalized lynch?
ing.
The prisoner was doomed long before
the jury took the case. And it is so al?
ways when the mob spirit prevails
around the courthouse.

Cleaning Out at Williamsburg.
(Richmond News Leader.)
Results show that the legislative in
vestigation into the affairs and manage
ment of the Eastern Hospital for the in
sane at Williamsburg was needed. It i
worth all the time and money it cost
The institution belongs to and is sup
ported by the public and its function L
one of peculiar delicacy and interest
Tender care for the insane, the helples
and the unfortunate and giving then
every possible opportunity to recove:
their faculties is one of the first an?
highest duties of a civilized people.
Investigation has resulted in the sift
ing out and examination of all the man]
ugly rumors which were going about th?
State, the revelation of the truth anc
the settlement of all disputed question)
and points. It has further resulted in i
clean sweep of the medical staff, noi
under any charges of corruption 01
affecting the personal characters of iti
members, but for the general reasor
that because of the coi plications anc
the relations among the doctors and the
executive force efficiency was impossi?
ble. The general change is wise, timelj
and encouraging. It seems to have
been made without the slightest regare
to political or personal considerations
and with the sole view of making the
management efficient and humane and
securing the best possible results. The
management has failed to make good
and has been replaced by one which it
is hoped will do so. That is a sound and
safe business policy and course.
Now that we are to begin all over
again, we hope sincerely that the at?
mosphere of secrecy, of seclusion, of re?
sentment of private or public inquiry,
which surrounds so many of our public
institutions, will be swept away and
that the idea that a public institution is
the private property of those who hap?
pen to be in charge of it will not be al?
lowed to develop. Not only profession?
al, executive and business ability, but
careful tact and some magnanimity will
be required to bring the Eastern Hospi?
tal to the proper degree of efficiency.
A good many sores remain to be healed,
a number of little personal, political,
local and neighborhood feuds must be
considered and smoothed away firmly
but gentl/. The n<*w management will
have no easy task before it, but we
hope sincerely and with some confidence
that that task will be performed suc?
cessfully.

China's New Army.
(From the New York Tribune.)
The Chinese military maneuvers,
which attracted some attention a fort?
night ago, were small in numbers and
extent compared with those of the great
military powers of Europe, implicating
in all not more than twenty-five thous?
and men; yet they were exceptionally
significant as the, first exhibition of the
new army which China is earnestly and
energetically developing and they will
repay the careful observation and study
of all who are interested in the progress
of affairs in that most populous empire
of the world. Compulsory military ser?
vice has not yet been introduced into
China, and so there has not yet been
created an army commensurate in size
with the population. But there has
been a considerable increase in the
wages offered soldiers, with the result
of a far greater rush of recruits, or
would-be recruits than ever before. In?
deed, enough men have offered them?
selves to give China the largest army in
the world. But only a small proportion
of them have been accepted, because
the required qualifications have been
raised as much as the wages. All the
cripples, wastrels and illiterates are re?
jected.
