B0?Tfl8EAQULdl& A correspondent of the Norfolk Land rnark, aays: "Lately, crossing the harbor from New port News, I witnessed a party of boys in a boat not far from the docks of that city. Two of the party had shot guns and they were busily working havoc and destruction in every flock of gulls that passed them or that they could creep upon. With every discharge some mangled creature would fall to the water to the accompaniment of a hellish cheer from the crowd. What an instant before had been an object of living beauty was now a dead or dying creature soon to become a mass of cor ruption. "If my voice, through the medium of your valuahle columns, may touch a tender spot in the bosoms of the coun citmen of our harbor towns and cities, we may both have the distinction of performing a service in the interest of humanity and the preservation of nature's loveliness for which some kindrtd spirits of the better future may llaa up and call us blessed." If there is no ordinance or State law to protect these birds from wanton slaughter there should be and it should he rigidly enforced. They are a part of our scenery. so to sneak. They are crnamental and picturepque as they sail over the waters and our harbora are not the same without them. They are harmless and they are not fit to eat and it is a sin and a shame to shoot them. That sort of "sport" ia brutal and it should not be tolerated. ?Newport Newa Times- Herald. To eomplete the record with regard to Mr. Viett's letter to The Landmark protesting against the slaughter of sea gulls for sport, as witnessed by him from the deck of a steamer near New? port Newa, we reproduce from the Times-Herald, of that city, the follow ing information: The Times-Herald is informed by Com? missioner W. McDonald Lee that under a Virginia statute enacted sevcral years ago it is unlawful to shoot seagulls under penalty of $5 for each olTonse. We publish this fact as a waming to the public. It is reported that gulls have recently been shot in Newport News harbor for "sport." If the offense ia repeated, somebody is likely to pay dearly for it. The queation comes down to ofta of enforcing the humane law that already exista. It ia usually hardor to get a law enforced than to get it enacted, but we don't think much troublc will be experienced in thia case if the fact of thia statute's existence ia sufficiently advertised in the newspapers for the officers of the law to caution all to be ware of it. ?Norfolk Landmark. There is a law, and it jiiits the miiiiiiiuin line at $5, for killiiur a WlllgnW. This law ibottld be vigoromajf enforced by the game uanlens (including thfl oyster poliee, who are gMM w.inlens by statnte), as the pull is ? motri useful bird.

MORE RA1LROAD TALK. Channing M. Ward, a practical rail road man of the Atchison, Topeka and Sante Fe railroad system, is again in the Northern Neck in the interest of the proposed railroad. which was agita ted last August, and which, if built down the Northern Neck, will connect with the Chesapeake and Ohio road at some point in Hanover county between Hanover Courthouse and Doswell. Meetinga were held at various points during the summer months to consider the matter. Committees were ap~ pointed to secure the right of way and to make contracts with the citizena living within a distance of five miles from the proposed road to pay a small assessment of 25 cents per acre on all lands ao situated. The running of a road down the Northern Neck would mean the devel opment of this section commercially, and Richmond would reap a harveat from the products of thia proaperous terntorv. as the ir.ide would be di vartad from li.il UMaa.

Of the campaign in the Ninth the Times Dispatch haa this to say: "It ia cer tain that not in many years'have party workera on any side of any question done more faithful and more effcctive work than have the Democrats and the Republicana of Uie Ninth District. The conflict haa been incessant, cometimes \ it has been bitter, sometimea it has I been unfortunate, but always it has | been earnest." maicyla.no. Maryland elected five Democrata and one Republican Congrcssmen, a gain of two for the Democrata. Those elected are: J. Harry Covington (Democrat), re-elected; J. Fred Talbott (Democrat). re-elected; George Konig (Democrat). who succeeds John Kronmiller (Repub? lican); J. Charles Linthicum (Demo? crat); Thomas Parren (Republican), who succeeds Sydney Mudd (Republi? can); David J. Lewis (Democrat). who succeeds George A. Pearre NEW VOICK. New York State elected the whole Democratic State ticket. Dix. Demo? crat, defeated Stimson, Republican. for Governor by 100,000 plurality. For the first time aince 1894 the Democrats will control the executive departmenta of the State government. In 1906 Hughes carried the State by a plurality of 57.897 over Hearst, Democrat, and in 1908, a presidental year, Hughes beat Chanler. Democrat, by 69,462. ELECTION SPARKS ELESWBERE. Hooper, Republican, was elected Oov ernor in Tenneasee over Senator Bob Taylor, Democrat, by 30.000 majority. This was brought about by hatred to Patteraon, whoespouaed Taylor's cause. Clean sweeps were made in the usually Democratic States, many of Uie doubtful SUtes and some Republican ones falling into the Demotratic column. With the exception of Iowa, returns mdicate that the Republicane were de feated in every State in which Colonel Roosevelt made a fight for the Repub? lican candidatea. Significant is the fact that Senator Beveridge was defeated m Indiana by John W. Kern, and that eleven out of the thirteen congreaaional distncts in Indiana went Democratic Massachuaetta' response to the Roosc veltian plea for Governor Draper was the election of Congressman Foss (Democrat) as Governor by a plurality eatimated in excess of 20,000. Connec ticutmade the aame anawer hy electing Judge Simeon E. Baldwin (Democrat). In Ohio Governor Judaon E. Haimon (Democrat) waa eaaily re-elected. Ihe Democrata alao carried New Jersey, electing Woodrow Wiison, the Prasident of Princeton University, her Governor by a good majority. Returns from Colonel Roosevelt'a Congrfess district indicate the election of Littletoo. Democrat, by 300. Oyster Ray, the home of Kooaevelt, went Democratictwotoone. In consequence, no wortf has corae from the Colonel* There is silence. absolute and double riveted, at Oyater Ray. Tbe news was read at the White Houae, and tbe Taft smile took flight. Abou't the only cheering thing to the Republicans in general ia the fact that Speaker Cannon is elected by the big gest majority the district has given for ten years. The Republicans lose Senators from lndiana, Maine, Miasouri, Nebraska Nevada, New Jersey, New York and Ohio. This meana that the Republican majority in the United Statea Senate is cut from 25 to 12. The House of Rep rjsentatives will be Democratic prob ably 29, a Democratic gain of 35.

ICoaunantaatad : A REPLY TO "WHAT ARE OIK HIGU SCHOOLSE^ABLISBEDFOR?" BV PROF. I*. *. COOP1R. PRINOIPAL, OTTOMAN HIGH SCHOL. Mr. EuiUif, Lewis: Dear Sir:-I thank jhou fdir your article publisbed in the "Citizen" of laat week. I will en lighten you on some hiatory aa well aa enlighten you on a hard queation which you seem unable to anawer. 1 don't care for the publicity of a newspaper controveray, but you compel me to an swer you. or I would notclear myself in the regards of the public, or my putrons (for which I care). You do not explain the incident of the ball game. I will do it for you. My boys askcd me to arrange a game with Lancaster HighSchool for Friday, 7th. I told them to go ask Mr. Shack elford, a member of the school lioard. (Friday and Saturday I was to be at a teachers' Instituteat Lancaster). They did so. and reported that Mr. S. aaid "I could go play or not play, just as I chose," 1 interpreted this as all right. Not untit>November 4th did this trustee tell me that his utterance was a veilcd threat. I'm not much scared of threats; but I prefer them to be optn so I will know. Saturday was very rainy. then they asked me for the Kanu Thursday, October 13. (I am a new teachtr here). They sakl when I in quired, that it was custotnary last year for players and those who wished to go, to make the trip. This. with the trus tee's former reply, aaid "yes." A trustee at theSchool Board's meet ing Saturday, said that he heard that I said: "Iwas going to runthis school." with the inference that I was going to please myself alone. My school and teachers agree with me that what I said in a speech to the school was: "If the patrons ask you about my policies, please teil them that if 1 am Principal they must trust my judgment to some extent. as I am supposed to know more about running the school than they." At this trustee*s instigation (I did not get a hearing) the Board deducted $2.12 from my salary and said I was to pay foc text-books used in teaching. In fairness to Mr. Lankford and Mr. Rock, of Uie Board, let me say they did not know the caae. I shall appeal the matter to the School Board and expect to be able to announce that I have received fair treatment. All I want is justice. I am new to Tidewater Virginia and people of I>ancaster. For my family, inquire of any reputable citizen of Win chester, Va., about Lewis F. Cooper. He will be known as a city councilman who has served already 12 years in office. For my character and record. address Mr. M. M. Lynch, Supt. of schools. You ask about the sehool wagon. I am sure my friend. Mr. Warren, can answer you, if he wants. You ask another question: "Do baseball games distract from atudieS?" Then from your great fund of knowledge, you an? swer yourself hy saying my High school boys look first at the baseball news in the newspapers. I am dulighted. that you took cognizance of this tribute to my instruction. What battaf sign that the world is not going to ihe dogs (in spite of howlers) than the fact that the youth is concerned with a clean. red blooded. American-game, that develops him^mind and body; and not in murder news, divorce scandals and other sug gestive things. which I have advised Uiem not to read? If you mean to in sinuate, that the scholarahipof Ottoman High school suffered after that game of baseball. you say something that is not true; proving that you know noth mg about it. Why, I had to have my Lattn class correct your "viee versa," But, hush! I'm not going to tell any body you made a mistake! As you are such a "prophetin Israel," yqU are, of course, well versed in pedagogy. the science of teaching children. If'not you may eay (like the Irishman) that the wisest words you ever said were thoae you never spoke. What High achool did you graduate from; in what year? You are a graduate of what! college? Son, you make the mistake of placing the lessons aa the highest and ultimate aim. They are but a* meana to an end namely: a broader life. Morality' truthfulneas, the virtue of temperance' obedience to just authority, politeness,' altruism (helping the other fellow) k>ve (in roany forms)-all take prece dence. In your attitude against healthful athletics, you are disproved by the best educators. Pestalozz^says, "EducatSn of the individual-moral, mental. and phyaical.
