VIRGINIA NOW IS BATTLEGROUND OF TWO PARTIES G. 0. P. Hopes to Break Into South at State Election. Bt WALLACE B VSSFOKD. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 20. In Virginia there is a State election this flail to elect a Governor and various other .State officers, and a vacancy is to be filled In the Fifth congressional district. The national Republican committee thinks it sees a chance to break into the South and has elaborated a skilful campaign backed with abundant funds. Th 9 State organization has set its coon trap to catch the voters '‘coming and going.” When the held their recent convention in Richmond they loudly proclaimed that the party is to be a whits jnan’t party, and refused to admit negroes to the hall. This to catch whUe votes. They toothed the feelings of the negroes by citing a State law forbidding mixed assemblages. The law Is an old one and never has been enforced In such cases In the past. But Inside the convention it was dlffer(*nt. The platform adopted on which tho Republicans make their campaign pledges the party to the removal of all Virginia laws restricting negro suffrage. In the (event of the success of this movement, a number of counties in the State would be controlled by the negro vote, and in a close election they would control the reeults in the entire State. ATTACK NATIONAL ADMINISTRATION. The Democrats of the State are waking yip and getting in fighting shape. They have put up a strong State ticket headed by State Senator Trinkle, and have selecttd H. D. Flood, one of the Virginia Congressmen, a resourceful and energetic organizer, as chairman of the State com.mlttee. J. Murray Hooker was nominated for the congressional vacancy. The convention which nominated Mr. Hooker •wen', after the national Republican administration with n sharp stick. In the resolutions adopted is found the following: "Not In fifty years has that party so tignally failed to demonstrate its ancient and exploded claim to be the party of prosperity as today, nor has there been a time when unemployment was so extensive and alarming as now. It is conceded that the number of men clamoring for work has increased more than luO iper cent since the inauguration of a Republican President and the assumption of legislative power by his party. “So striking have been the blunders of this Congress that the Senate itself has halted the program of legislation already approved by the nouse of Representatives lest such legislation should arouse the resentment of an indignsnt and outraged people. “When the Democratic party Is In the minority in both Senate and House it has proved the safeguard of the country In preventing the dangerous and vicious legislation proposed by the Interests which the party in control is Impelled to reward by legislative favors.” President Harding's emergency tariff hill, which was advertised as being dsigned to protect the farmer in the price of his wheat, does not seem to function up to specifications. It went into operation in May and wheat, instead of going up, went down very decidedly. Perhaps It was not designed to affect the farmers' wheat as much as the farmers’ vote. Comptroller Crissinger, the President's personal appointee, has made a speech at tho New York State bankers’ convention, o>. which he says the American farmers are in the same pickle as the Cuban sugar growers; he thinks they profiteered In grain, cotton and livestock nntil it turned their heads and that they then speculated in lands until the bottom fell out of the land market, and now they have difficulty meeting the interest payments on their mortgages on the high priced lands left on their hands, on which they can only raise low-priced crops.

COURT SOCIETY’S ONLY GUARDIAN IN DIVORCE WAR (Continued From Page One.) ca*a where the wife Is plaintiff, there Is e sort of quasi-chivalry apparent In behalf of the woman plaintiff. This is not according to legal sanction and BUcb feeling should never be consciously entwtaiaed or allowed to lnfluonne. “A woman whose father had been a judge In another county, once told me that he had never refused a woman a divorce and never had granted a man ane where hia wife contested. That Judge’s notion of the obligation of his official and Judicial oath was seriously warped. “The Impression commonly prevails that all a Judge is expected to do la to approve and ratify an agreement made out of court by the parties to have a divorce granted/and the sad part of it Is that this Impression seems to have some foundation. I was calling upon a Judge In a distant county soma time ago. While tailing to him in his private room the bailiff came to the door and announced that the Judge was wanted in the courtroom ‘to try a little divorce case.’ 1 went out with him and watched tho proceeding. The complaint had beeu filed less than an hour before the summons was served by reading to the defendant wife over the telephone. Tho husband was present in person and by attorney. An attorney stated that ho represented the wife. Two resident witnesses were called In from county offices. The plaintiff himself testified briefly. A decree was announced and in ten minutes with little ceremony the farce of hearing a Tittle divorce case’ was ended. Mockery of this kind 1s a travesty. ABOLISHES DIVORCE CALENDERS. “About twenty years ago, the then Judges of this county Inaugurated the custom of having divorce calendars In the various civil courts, which custom to some extent still prevails. I early saw the vicious results of such a custom and have abolished divorce calendars. For several years, divorce cases have been set for trial In room 5 Just as other civil cases, triable by the court. The results fully Justify the change. “The vice of divorce calendars consists largely In thiir psychological effects.

Whenever several separation suits are set for the same forenoon or afternoon, it invariably occurs that a more or less large concourse of outside parties is present. These hear the petty quarrels and bickerings of the contestants, picture themselves In the same plight or as verging on it, go home more discontented than ever. Sometimes they soon talk it over with their friends involved in the case they beard, are advised to see the same lawyer, by him they are encouraged often to separate and sue, and the divorce fraternity fattens, the divorce colony Increases and society at large begins to tremble. “The saving of the court’s time and nerve energy, the saving of county expense, the disposing of more cases in a given time, are all accomplished at the frightful risk of encouraging unmerii torious divorces. So I have abolished the divorce calendars. INTERESTS OF SOCEETT ARE IMPORTANT. "Besides, to my mind, a divorce case involving the two Immediate parties, perhaps one or more children, certainly the interests of society is equally Important and deserving of careful consideration as mechanic's lien cases involving perhaps a few dollars and an attorney's fee, in considering which a court will often spend a whole day, or an appeal from a justice of the peace, Involving necessarily Rot over S2OO and which entitles the party to a jury with a full panel and costing the county very often more than the amount involved in the controversy. Contrary to the view of the judge in the other county referred to, I do not think that there are any Tittle divorce case*.’ "Another unfavorable incident or attribute of divorce calendars, as such, is that j not uncommonly a great number of cases is set for hearing at a day's session. As many as forty-two have been set and heard in a single day. Personally, I could not physically accomplish this much. To examine the complaint, to see whether it and its accompanying necessary affidavits are proper in form and substance, to examine tbe summons and return or publication notice and proof thereof, to see whether they are likewise sufficient, to examine the necessary couple of residence witnesses, to hear a modicum of witnesses as to the merits of the case, and to do them properly, th -ee, or at most, four cases, during a halfi day session Is all I can accomplish and I confess I do not see how more can be done by other judges. GIVES CASES ATTENTION, THOUGH DISTATSEFPI.. “Still another important feature of the divorce calendars, as such, is that i quite commonly the regular judge will appoint a member of the bar as judge pro tempore, to hear such calendar. Dls- • agreeable adn distasteful though such ] cases are in the mass, I prefer to hear I them and give them the same attentton I ■do other court cases. 1 consider it a | part of the year's work, a part of the i duties I was elected to discharge. "Moreover, the special Judge so appointed, is usually one of the more prominent members of the bar, one whose \ practice in divorce cases is exceedingly j limited and one who, in consequence, is apt to be very sympathetic, unduly sub- j Ject to believe all he hears, but which’ a | regular Judge soon learns to discount or ] to examine into more zealously, and one who consider* such aa appointment as more or less of a pastime, a aort of a j brief vacation. Avery prominent elderly | lawyer, who served in that capacity in j one of our courts, told me he had not filed a divorce case in over ten years, and as a temporary Judge, tried nearly thirty divorce cases in one day and had granted decrees in every one of them. “Experience ha* demonstrated to me that the best results are obtained when j the regular Judge tries the cases on his docket, and in m.v own court, by having no separate divorce calendar.” Cone.uding. Judge Moll said, "I am obligated to The Times for giving me opportunity to voice a few aentlments which I entertain. J, do not expect all to agree with me but I am so impressed with the seriousness of th# divorce ; problem and am sure that reforms can I be worked out along the several lines suggested, that I feel constrained to voice them not so much to set myself right with a large number of critics at the bar as to demonstrate the real concern I feel in tills so vital question.”

Accordingly,\ the plantation planters have requested the government to establish a standard price for black men’s wives.

Keeping House With the Hoopers

[The Hoopers, an average American family of five, jiving in a suburban town,' on a limited income, will tell the readers of th'e Daily limes how the many present-day problems of the home are solved by working on the budget that Mrs, Hooper has evolved and found practical. Follow them daily in an interesting review of their home life and learn to meet the conditions of the high cost of living with them.] 0 • - -’ TUESDAY. Mrs. Hooper’s mother had arrived right after breakfast to take charge of the house during the time that it would be necessary for her to be Isolated in ordet to nurse Betty. Miss Ring, the trained nurse, had taken her departure after turning over the sick room to Mrs. Hooper. While the case was still critical and the doctor had given her no positive assurance as yet that the child could be pulled through, Mrs. Hooper felt new hope the moment she was permitted to care for Betty herself. Following the doctor's instructions would be simple, and this, with constant vigilance, would be the main thing for another week at' least, and once Betty regained consciousness, she was positive that her presence instead of that of a stranger, would be best for the child. Her little bed was in the alcove adjoining Mrs. Hooper's bedroom, where there was plenl y of light and air, and with easy access to the bathroom. As she had told Henry, she had put an extension cord on the telephone, so that it could be carried upstairs, and the would be able to keep in communication with the outside world without having to go downstairs. She had put the phone into Roger's unoccupied room across the hail so that its muffled bell would not disturb Betty. Her mother waa occupying guest room and Helen and Roger were being j kept on the lower floor, and using the j washroom facilities in the laundry. A j temporary gas plate, connected by a piece of tubing to the gas Jet, made it ; possible for her to prepare everything; Betty needed, and as her own meals were to be brought to the door on a tray. ! she would not have to go to the kitchen at all, and would thus escape any con- j tact with the rest of the family. She had I brought her account books upstairs to ( the desk in her room and intended to do j her ordering and plan her meals from there, leaving written instructions on her tray every morning, which her mother and Helen and Roger would carry out. She realized that she ought to let thing take care of themselves, and permit her mother and the two children to manage as they pleased about their meals, and the ordering of the necessary commodities for the household, but the force of ; habit was strung upon her, and she found it impossible to give up tho idea that she must take care of the details of the household machinery every day She knew that Henry would Insist that this wa* her opportunity to let the family absolutely alone to take cate of itself and confine herself to the more important task of taking care of Betty; she even felt that tho doctor might disapprove of her having anything else on her mind but her nursing. But she seemed so capable of doing It all herself, that instead of actually abdicating, and | leaving her authority in the hands of • her mother, when she went upstairs to j shut herself off from tho family for a j couple of weeks, she took all the reaponsij blllty of managing the house with her. | She thought there vras no reason why j she should not do go, because there would 1 be long hours of the night and day when there would be nothing she could do for poor little Betty, except that it would have been Just the opportunity that she might have used to see how well Helen and Roger could get along witnout her. So after the doctor had made his morning visit, and had satisfied himself that she knew how to take Betty's temperature properly, handle an ice pack and prepare the child s nourishment and had given her instructions for the day and takun his departure, she took the first opportunity when Betty had dozed off to telephone her orders to the market and write out tho menu for WedDesduy. together with the various things that Helen and Roger were to do. The menu for the three meals on Wednesday is: BREAKASFT.

fish lifted his head out of the water. His scales shone like sliver and his eyes were red as rubles. “Listen, Puss Junior,” he said. “I know you are in search of the Flower of Youth. But he who seeks does not always find,” and then the little fish looked at Puss with his ruby red eyes, and then he gave his tail a flicker and sent the water flying in sparkling drops over the grass. But Puss kept very quiet, for he knew that this fish was no ordinary fish. Perhaps he might be a magician in disguise, or maybe a prince. Well, anyway, in a few minutes the fish said: "Follow the moon’s path down the glen Till you come to an old dead tree, and then, Ins'le of its hollow trunk, you’ll see, Tied to a silken cord, a key.” And then the fish disappeared, and Puss looked in vain into the pool, but the fish had gone somewhere out of sight. “Get on my back, little master,” said the Good Gray Horse. “Let us wait no longer, but foUow the Instructions of the fish.” So Puss Jumped on his faithful steed's back, who at once trotted off down the moon's path that lay like a silver strip upon the ground, and by and by they came to a dead tree. So Puss rode up close and pushed his paw into the hollow opening in one side and sure enough, he lound the key, just as the fish had said. “But what am I to do with it?” he asked the Good Gray Horse. And Just then a big owl looked out of the old tree and said: “FoUow the brook till yon come to a door In the side of a rocky wall. Have a care that your 6teed in wading the brook Does not slip on its pebbly floor.” “Never fear,” said Good Gray Horse, and he trotted out of the wood-and followed the brook through the meadow where the fairies and elves were dancing iu the moonlight. But when they saw Puss on his great horse they all hid themselves, for they didn’t know Puss was a friend of their queen, you aee. Well, by and by, the land grew rough and rocky, and great high mountains rose on either side, and the little brook foamed and splashed as it fell over the rocks. And to the right, they came to a high stone wail. And in the next story you shall hear what happened after that. —Copyright. 1921, David Cory. (To Be Continued.) BET HAYED BY TATTOO.

Library Notes A 38 per cent Increase ovef August of last year in the number of books circulated for home reading is what Charles K. Rush, city librarian, reports for the month of August. Books lent totaled 78.946, making a net increase of 20,698 over August, 1920. This report Includes the Central Library and all its branches and stations and shows a substantial gain In practiea'ly every department. In the sixteen branches, moreover, there is the phenomenal showing of a 43 per cent increase over la9t year. Only once during the past year has this record been surpassed. The solitary exception is the month of June, 1921, which showed a gain of 40 per cent in | books circulated over June, 1920. Heretofore summer has been regarded by I‘- ! brary workers as a comparatively dull season compared with the busy wintei month*, but 1921, in spite of the extreme heat, has set anew precedent. Business depression and unemployment partially account for the situation, but it seems to be due also to a growing interest in books and reading. Children, as a rule, are better library patrons than grown-ups, both in the n-fmber and kind of library books which they take home. In spite of this fact, the children’s department shows an increase this month of 33 per cent over it* previous high standard. In addition to
