It is not local. It i3 not ephemeral. It is not bent on muck-raking or sporadic reform. It is not limited to political life, though, as ever, it must find final expression in just laws. It is a spirit born of great traditions and bent cn realizing great ends. It is beginning to fill the hearts of every class and of everv section. It is growing si lently, swiftly, beautifully, and be fore long it will sweep aside old fail ures, mistakes and selfish leadership to build a new Commonwealth of free people, where happiness and justice make life a splendid victory In one sentence, the new spirit is that of service for a better Virginia lie must be a foolish victim of party and organization who thinks this movement is directed against any machine or clique. This new senti merit is not antimachine in any small sense. It is for Virginia. The ma chine must go, not because it is i machine, but because it cramps and hinders the destiny ot Virginia. The Times-Dispatch does not look on this as a political struggle between the ins and outs. It desires to think of it as a fight for ends far bigger than any political victory. It is en couraged because it is not limited to such petty issues, but endeavors to erect a new ideal and give loyal ser vice. The statement that three machine men were defeated in Petersburg because they were benefitted by the aftermath of a congressional strug gle is misleading. This new spiri waits on no uast event. Inree new men were chosen because the pe pie dimly felt that they stood for better things. The entrance of a progressive into the race for Attorney-General tokenedno sudden burst A Transmigration Story i By F. A. MITCHEL Daniels May be Governor. In the city of Bungalore, in India, one Kadur, an old man, lay dying. His wife knelt by his bedside there were no children waiting for the end and praying to Vishnu in his behalf. In India they believe in the transmigra tion of souls, and the woman prayed that in order that she might have her husband near ber his spirit might pass into the body of one of her pets, or which she had a great many. When she was satisfied that he was dead she left the body where it lay and, weep ing, went out to another room. As she opened the door she saw in the middle of the floor a tiny monkey that had just been born looking up at her with a peart face and a pair of bright eyes. Whether or not it was her imagination that made this human-like countenance appear in her eyes to resemble her late husband it is impossible to say. Cer tain it is that she took the little crea ture up in her arms and hugged it to her bosom, at the same time thanking her god that he had answered her prayer, for she did not doubt that tbe soul of him she loved had passed into the body of the monkey just born Now, the woman was rich, and this is what she did. She made a will, leav ing all her property to the monkey so I0112 as it lived, and at its death it was to go to her nephew, Itustom, bov of whom she was very fond. She also bequeathed the monkey to a wo man in whom she had great confidence, who was to have a large sum for its care as long as it lived. It was thus made the interest of Its keeper to pre serve its life as long as possible. The widow lived three years after her husband's death. When she died her nephew, Rustom, was about eight een year3 old and had a sweetheart Naturallv he wished to marry and needed the money. But the woman, Dulmara, who was getting large pay for taking care of her ward, realizing that Rustom was interested in its death, redoubled her pfTort to keen the monkey alive. She .wf it in n wintr of the house, had of personal ambition, nor the desire j lron bar3 put on ri;j tue windows, and or - - 7 T "I a ceiTR t i y ei i choice. up stairs in White ra U to 1 o'clock MORGAN' Pirsiusn and Surgeon :.

The candidacy of young uni versity men on broad platforms of progressive ideas is not just the sparkling of new wine. All of these things, and there are scores of other similar instances, come from a common sentiment now finding expression in Virginia. They symbolize a powerful rebirth of the ideals that made this State the mother of Presidents and the mould er of national destiny. We aie awake. We are selfconscious. We realize the glorious opportunity for wealth and happiness awaiting de velopment in a land blessed by na ture with splendid and various re sources, and peopled by men and women of integrity, energy and un selfishness. Prids in Virginia, both past and present is creating the new spirit. The people of Virginia want a gov pmmnnt that will answer to this nri.-lp THpv will sweep aside all self-seeking, intrigue, small vision and charlatanry. They will demand leaders who lead, and who do not sacrifice the State to personal amDi- tions. The people will no longer vote for a man on sentiment or per sonal friendship. They will vote lor him who represents the new faith. They will win because they are in spired by the same hopes ana strengthened by the same courage i that has made Virginia a glowing name in history. The Times-Dispatch devotes itself to Virginia. It pledges its supreme endeavor to fostering and realizing the new spirit of the whole people. To th.p nation we proclaim that the Virginia Spirit is that of service for the good of men.

Rut these precautions were not nee Richmond, Va. Men who claim to be close to the heart of political moves in North Carolina have brought to Richmond within the past few days the statement that Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy, may be the next Democratic nominee for Governor without a party struggle. It must be said to the credit of Secretary Daniels, how ever, that he has not been engineer ing the campaign, which makes the situation all the more compliment ary, and shows that the people are beginning to appreciate what he has done to throw the national spotlight upon the Old North State. Since he has taken hold of the navy, since he has toiled for the up- ift of the enlisted man, since he has endeavored to throw a little human interest in the service, and since he has figured so prominently in the public eye, the folks at home have turned to Josephus as the right man to pick up the affairs of the govern ment when Locke Craig puts them down a few years hence. Of course if President Wilson should be re elected in 1916, he might desire to retain Mr. Daniels as Secretary of the Navy, but after serving four years in the cabinet, Mr. Daniels would hardly object to being nomi nated for Governor of his own State when that nomination would be passed to him as freely as if it were a cup of cold grape juice unfer mented. The Biggest Tree in tbe World? Recently Country Life in America printed a cut and sketch of a big tree in California, which wasdescrib ed as the largest tree in the world. Its circumference was given at 23 feet and one inch, but the point at which the measurement was taken wis not stated.

The story in Country Life said the California tree had long attracted attention and had become known as the largest tree in the world.

WW 1 W 1 In the monkey and ir ne miiea it ne would be guilty of a crime. But Agya, the girl he wished to marry, had been to a Christian mission school and did not believe in the transmigration theo ry. She could not see why a monkey should prevent her and the youth she loved from enjoying a fortune. In deed, she thought no more of killing a monkey than a dog. Besides, It was plain that Dulmara might at the mon key's death substitute another monkey in its place and keep on thus substi tuting monkeys till the crack of doom. She therefore determined that the lit tle beast should die. Fortunately for her intention, Rus toni's love for her was not known to Dulmara, nor had Dulmara ever seen her.- One day Agya appeared to Dulmara ni:d said that she had a singular dream. But before she told the dream she look ed about her at the pets which were wandering around. A hen was sitting on some eggs, upon seeing which Agya told her dream. She said that n woman had appeared to her in her sleep and said that her husband's soul was in a monkey in a house which she describ ed. The woman herself had died and passed into the body of a cow (sacred in India). The cow was about to die. and the woman's spirit had been per mitted by Vishnu to be born in the house where her husband lived in a monkey's body. She would come out of an egg. The girl was Instructed to go to the house described, and the first chicken hatched in that house would contain the spirit of the wife of the man whose spirit inhabited the mon key. She was to have the care of the chicken. There is no end to the superstition in the people of India, and Dulmara be lieved the story. While the two were talkinz a wee chick picked through the shell of an egg, and this settled the matter. Dulmara did not dare to turn Agya away for fear of the Wrath of the tiny bird which might contain the soul nf lier from whom sue arew ner su tiiil. The srirl was at once taken into the household and given tbe care of the chicken. She took it in to see the mon key, but the little brute evidently uiu not recognize it as its wife, for if per mitted to get at it would have eaten it. Agya, having effected an entrance to the household as well as access to the monkey, lost no time in carrying out the rest of her plan. Soon after her arrival the monkey sickened and died The Old Joke About "Something Just as Cood," Doesn't Apply to Thts Drug Store. Saying and Saving. Tommy Mamma, what Is economy?
