Edgar Iliff. Mr. Edgar Iliff, a local merchant, who has dedicated his literary talents to the service of Doc Zimmerman, used the columns of a local newspaper recently, to make a mordant attack on Mr. Alfred Bavis. Mr. Iliff accused Mr. Bavis of being a liar, of writing for the Palladium, and of being an Englishman ! Only a lapidary with a hair-balance could discover any weight in such charges, and as for the logic of them, not even G. B. Shaw could discover the least semblance of any. The last thing anybody will believe about Mr. Bavis is that he is a liar. Those who know him best admire more than all his splendid qualities, his unshakable Integrity. And Mr. Iliff himself, in his desperate attempt to prove him a dissembler, has come dangerously close to the ranks of Annanias, for he has deliberately misrepresented Mr. Bavis' plain statements as anyone can see

who takes the trouble to re-read the articles in question. Mr. Iliff accuses Mr. Bavis of trying to work a con game on his readers by clandestinely substituting the Wayne county tax rate for the Richmond rate. It will be interesting to those who read the accounts of Mr. Bavis' researches if Mr. Iliff will kindly point out just where Mr. Bavis docs that thing. As to the insinuation that Mr. Bavis has been hired by the Palladium, that, of course, is untrue, as was said in these columns recently. Where Mr. Iliff shows off to the best advantage is in his startling argument from Mr. Bavis' birthplace. Here, he says, is an Englishman; yes, an Englishman! Mr. Bavis has actually been guilty of this high crime. Anyone who really believes in this city and is a genuinely patriotic citizen of it will be careful to be born here as anybody knows. That is essential to being able to tell the truth or to understanding the a b c's. Whatever Mr. Bavis has to say will be worthless on the very face of it because he wasn't born in the right place. Therefore this foreigner is not to be trusted; he is a deceiver, a pretender, an imposter, a cheat, a rogue, a humbug, a sharper, yes, verily, a regular dyed-in-the-wool Cagliostro! Mr. Iliff's amusing arguments deceive nobody, least of all himself. And they reveal the total collapse of Zimmerman. Mr. Bavis avoided most faithfully the dragging in of personalities and was careful at every point to make it clear that he bore no resentment against Zimmerman. His charges were specific, open and above board, and easily examined by any interested person. If they were false it would be very easy for Mr. Iliff and other friends of Doc Zimmerman to prove so. But Mr. Iliff has not even attempted to reveal the inconsistencies of Mr. Bavis' contentions. He knew he couldn't. He has resorted to the wornout old political trick of throwing dust into his readers' eyes by appealing to their prejudices.

Apple Day. This is apple day. During this present year the fruit growers of this land will produce more than 200,000,000 barrels of apples. Of this vast output millions will be exported. The apple has become a staple crop. Peaches, oranges and bananas are still classed as luxuries but the apple finds a place with potatoes and meat. It is adapted to a greater variety of uses than any other fruit and can be raised, marketed and consumed with a minimum waste. Somewhere in the land they reach maturity during every month of the year. They are the most easily stored and handled of all fruits and the crop is disposed of with less difficulty. Everybody likes apples; if not in one form then in another. Some varieties such as the Bellflower and the Grimes Golden are almost as palatable uncooked as oranges. And the other kinds, of which there are hundreds, are useful for dozens of purposes. Folks evaporate them, transform them into applejack, marmalade, apple butter (a god's dish), cider and vinegar; it is even whispered (keep it to yourself), that peeling and cores are shipped to the "auld countree" to be used in champagne! The American apple is a far-otf descendant of the wild European crab which flourished before the Germanic race separated from its parent stock in India. It is a cousin of the rose and. like that, always builds its sepals, petals and stamens in series of fives. Whether pomologists will ever succeed in rivaling the European stock with varieties bred from native American crabs remains to be seen. It may well be that

some new strain will be introduced making commercial apples still better than they now are. At any rate the popular apples of the present day are far removed from the apples of Sodom and give little danger of breeding discord among the gods like the golden breed of Hesperides. If Eve used a juicy Grimes Golden in her historic act the fall of Adam is entirely credible. The Indiana Apple Show Commission plans to have 20,000 persons in Tomlinson hall on November 5th. It is to be hoped they will succeed. A fruit that takes kindly to climate and soil from New Brunswick to Georgia, from Scandinavia to Spain, which belts the globe with the temperate zone, which yields harvets the year round, which will fructify in two-thirds of American territory, and will fit into any man's stomach, is to be encouraged by all. Everybody eat an apple. This is the day.

Minimum Wage for Preachers. The Pittsburg Synod of the Reformed church has gone on record as favoring a minimum wage for its pastors and sets thv f ; - $900 per year and parsonage. At last ! At last ! The church is beginning to il.e chief

reason which has kept so many men from the ministry and depleted its ranks of workers. A pastor is a man who must eat, sleep and wear clothes; usually he has a family to care for and to educate. It is as impossible for him to make ends meet in this day and age without sufficient funds as anyone else. The old argument against the frank recognition of the economic problem in the ministry has been a false interpretation of Jesus' teachings regarding poverty. Because He said, Blessed are ye poor, the inference has been drawn that poverty is therefore holy and peculiarly Christian. But this is to reason without taking into accounts the conditions of His time. The aim in the Master's mind was to establish Himself and His followers in a condition of uninterruption from the appeals of mere worldliness and carnality. Being wealthy was too distracting a thing for a devoted man to wish for. If one had a sufficiency of food, of clothing and shelter, he had all that was needed. To seek for wealth was to divide one's attention between temporary interests and the concern of the Eternal Kingdom. Therefore, he said, blessed are ye poor. But today it happens that in order for a man to be free in mind about temporal things he must be possessed of a certain standard of living. No person can be more harassed about "worldly matters" than an impecunious preacher three months behind with his bills. If the churches wish to make a modern application of the intent of Jesus' teaching regarding poverty they can do no better than establish a minimum wage for preachers and life from their shoulders the engrossing burden of poverty.

WAR ON DISEASE GERMS.

Richmond citizens who, through the awakening interest in public health matters, are becoming interested in dlease gearms will be glad to learn that Prof. Paul Ehrlich, accepted over the world as a very great authority, has announced his belief that in the next five years or so we may discover some germicide which will destroy any and all disease germs in the body. 0 Prof. Ehrlich is the inventor of salvarsan, the remarkable cure for the "black plague," and popularly known as "606" because he had made 605 ineffectual efforts before hitting on the right combination of chemicals. He is the leader of a -school of medical science which is endeavoring to establish closer relationship between chemistry and healing. Before the International Congress of Medicine held a short time ago in London, Prof. Ehrlich explained that his great aim has been to discover some chemical which will be fatal to germs in the organism and at the same time be harmless to the body s own tissues. One of the chief difficulties, he explained, lies in the peculiar conditions of each individual. Some persons will respond to treatment in a manner the exact opposite to that of others. For this reason, he says, it is necessary that serums be applied by expert specialists in order that allowance may be made for individual idiosyncrasy. Another difficulty in destroying disease germs in the organism as pointed out by him is due to the body's peculiar habit of "sewing" germs up in little sacks in order to prevent their wandering about through the blood. When that sack bursts, he says, so much poison is thrown loose at one time that many painful or even dangerous symptoms result. If only a few germs escape after having come into contact with a serum they are made immune and become more dangerous than ever. This "relapsing crop," as he calls it. will often baffle the most skilled specialist. As one learns all the difficulties in the way of finding remedies for diseases it is borne in upon him that after all the one safe method is to avoid capture by the germs. To live a clean, simple life, free from vices and unnatural habits, with plenty of exercise, fresh air and pure water, is the one safe insurance against all diseases.

PRESIDENT'S LOBBY TOUCHESQFF MINE "Insidious Lobbies" Have Come Into Vogue At National Capital.

WORD BECOMES A FAD

Even Church Societies fected By New Political Rage.

Af-

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21. Since President Wilson issued his broadside from the White House charging the existence of a numerous and insidious lobby, many legislators have put on their spectacles and pried around in

the catacombs of the past and into the shady places of the present in a frantic search for lobbies. Whether these worthy gentlemen are engaged in this practice because of any genuine patriotic interest, or whether their activity may be traced to an effort to curry favor with the President of the United States by joining him in the chase, cannot be declared with any degree of certainty. But what is certain "beyond peradventure" as Samuel Gompers says, is that big lobbies and little lobbies, harmless lobbies, and venomous lobbies have ben uncovered. That little statement which President Wilson issued from the executive mansion, one evening after supper, may be likened to the striking of a match. The President struck the match and touched it to a substance which he believed needed burning out. That substance took fire like oil-waste and has flamed up until its light has illuminated the activities of so many persons and organizations that Washington almost smells sulphurous. Lobbyists and lobbyists' employers have been scorched and, it is said that some of the Congressmen who have been poking the fire have burned their fingers a litle. Latest Style. Lobbies have become the style in Washington. The word has practically passed into the w. The man who stops you on the street and seeks to influence your tender heart to a point where he will be a beneficiary to the extent of a drink's worth, no longer is called a panhandler. Oh, no. He is a lobbyist. If you want a raise in salary and have a heart to heart talk with the boss about if, you are lobbying. If your wife is especially gracious and solicitous about the number of lumps of sugar in your morning coffee, and other matters pertaining intimately to your physical well being, she is insidiously lobbying for a hat, a sealskin coat or what not! Hallboys, bellhops, waiters, taxicab drivers, hackmen, office boys, elevator men are not cringing when they' approach one obsequiously J Oh. no, they are lobbying. Everybody's lobbying now! President Wilson is a positive genius. Many and many a psuedo-suc-cessful song writer would give up his sleep for a thousand and one nights .Arabian or otherwise if for compensation, it might be g'ranted that he hit upon a word which would prove so popular a catch as that magic word "lobby," which President Wilson has conjured into everybody's mouth. It was major league work on Woodrow's part. Not even the grape juice of Secretary Bryan, not the dollar diplomacy of Secretary Knox, nor the big stick nor the square deal of Theodore Roosevelt, nor the gold bug of President McKinley, nor the innocuous desuetude of President Cleveland, nor the split rails of President Lincoln, nor the conskins and hard cider

, of President William Henry Harrison, not any of the words and phrases that i have been at home on the lips of the ! people following their pronouncement by popular idols, have had the vogue which the lobby of President Wilson ! has enjoyed and seems likely to enjoy for many months to come.

Strange Lobby. But probably the strangest lobby which has yet been charged is that which a certain ecclesiastical publication has discovered. It has to do with the movement, which has recently gained headway, to segregate white and colored employes of the government departments. The church publication in question not only supports this lobby, but has constituted itself a part of the organization. Its position is that the black brother should be given an opportunity on a

parity with the white hopes of the ad

ministration. The' Democratic Fairplay Association, a society which was organized in Washington at the dawn of the Wilson administration, has done yoeman service in the segrega-' tion work. It discovered that in certain cases white girls are forced to work under the supervision of colored clerks and officials in higher capacities. It was alleged that advantage was beiug taken of this state of affairh in some cases. This far south of Mason's and Dixon's line, there is sometimes a little hesitancy on the part of white people to allow their daughters to be ordered around by colored men. Therefore the work of the Democratic Fairplay Asociation found favor in many eyes. President Wilson, himself a southerner, countenanced the movement and there has been much segregation in many departments. Now the church publication comes forward with the plea that discrimi-

nation is being practiced, that prejudice is bein gtwisted. Somebody is ; holding an umbrella over either the j just or the unjust, the new lobby com- ' plains; which of the two it does not

specify.
