MIR. Kownslar's Appointment.

The following statement, regard
ing the appointment of Mr.. Conrad
Kownslar as Clarke couuty's school
superintendent, is taken from the
Richmond News:
Secretary Brent, of the School Board
in speaking of the appointment of Con
rad kownsiar, of Clarke county, as SUI
perintendendent of schools, stated that
Mr.. kownslar was the only candidate
for the place held by c. G.. Massey. and
W as appointed when the board decided
not TO resppoint the latter.
The fact that Mr.. Kownslar was the
avowed friend and supporter of Mr..
Montague had nothing to do with the
appointment" said Mr.. Brent, 1.-THE
board decided not to re-appoint Mr..
Massey, and Mr.. Kownslar is a good
man and was well endorsed and he was
made superintendent"
Mr. kownslar stated in the Clarke
Courier that while he was a supporter
of Mr.. Montague that his appointment
or rejection would not influence that
support, and he disclaims any under
standing or combination with Mr.. Mon
tague on the subject"

Returning Orestfallen.

The loud beating of drums year
ago, when the powers sent their ar
mics to China, was accompanied by
boasts by several of them of the great
things they we're agoing to do. They
were going to infict severe punish
ment upon the Dowager, Prince
Tuan and host of other prominent
Boxers, to say nothing of big pecuni-
airy indemnities they were going to
bring away China was to be reform
ed and transformed. Several of the
powers expected to get large slices
of the Flowery Land.
Well, they are all scuttling out of
China glad to get away-without &C.
complishing a tenth of what they ex-
pected. The Dowsger and Prince
Tuan are all right, having discreetly
retired out of reach. Very few of
the Boxer chiefs have been executed.
A good deal of public and private
property was looted by the foreign
armies, but they have no indemnity
cash to carry home and have q slim
chance of getting the big indemni-
ty they have demanded. Not one so
far has got any Chinese territory.
Russia is on the ground, but her po-
sition as a bulldozer of China is i'm
paired. The game, in fact, is not
worth the candle. Sending and
keeping armies in China, half round
the globe, is awfully expensive, and
the powers are retiring in dismay at
sight of the big bills they are run
ming up. England has spent over
$2S,OO0,OOO, Germany over $6O,0OO,-
900 and the other powers in proper
ton. Yet China apart from a prom
ised indemnity, has conceded moth
ing important.-Balto. Sun.

Chaunoy Depew has come TO the
front again as a member of the
claque which wishes President Nc
Kinley to be candidate for re-elec-
ton. Mr.. Depew says: ga third
term for a president of the United
States is not bogy to be frightened
at simply because no precedent has
ever been set. There is absolutely
nothing against such a plan. SO far
as l have been able to discover there
is no prejudice among the American
people on the question of a third
term for President Mckinley. The
rule has been that man is elected
to the head Of the nation so late in
life that he. cannot live many years,
and this has operated to prevent
third terms" On the other hand
Senator Harris of Kansas, has this
to say on the subject. "There will
undoubtedly be q number of claq-
urers and toadies who will soon be-
gin suggesting the third term nomi-
nation of President Mckinley, but |
cannot believe that the President
will be a party to the movement.
The sentiment against a third term
is very strong in the country and es-
pecially so in the Middle West.
While l do not believe that the Presi-
dent will seek third term or that
his name will be seriously suggested,
| can readily understand that the
business element, which is entirely
without sentiment, may say that it is
worth while to keep Mr.. Mckinley
in the White House" In other
words, Senator Harris is opposed to
q third term but admits that the
money interest runs things in this
country nowadays.

To the Voters of Clarke County:
Your executive committee this morn
ing, June 10, 1901, has declined to
let the official ticket you are to vote
have the name of any candidate for
Governor upon it, rs the following
resolution shows:
Mr.. Conrad KOwslar offered the fol-
lowing resolution: In preparing the
form of the ticket to be voted at said
primary election, Chairman T. ID. Gold
will, If requested so to do by the dele
gates, print on same tickets above the
names of the delegates, the name of the
candidate for Governor for whom said
delegates announce themselves.
Mr.. BrOun raised the point of order
that the call for electing delegates has
already been issued, and the committee
at It's previous meeting determined that
nothing but the names of the delegates
should be upon the tickets, and that the
call for this meeting was for a particular
purpose. Said point of order was sus.
tanned by the chairman. From this de-
cision Mr.. Kownslar appealed, and the
chairman was sustained by the commit
tee; said Kownslar then voting in the
negative.
Are the Swanson men afraid of the
magic of the name of the gallant
Montague? They can't head off the
"little red fox" this way. Fitz Lee
travelled 5000 miles to vote for him.
Let every Clarke county democrat
who is not afraid to trust the people
and who favors fair means come out
on Saturday and vote for the Monta-
que delegates. Their names are as
follows, and they cannot be smother
ed by the committee by any such &C.

COMMUNICATED

ED. COURIER l have heard
on the streets today that
there has been some criticism
of the action of the county Execu-
tive Committee held in Berryville
Monday morning. The proposition
submitted to the Committee was that
the Chairman should be directed to
SO mark the tickets as to identify the
preference of each delegate for Gov
ernor, In substance and effect this
proposition had been voted upon and
defeated at a meeting of the
Committee held June Let. At
this first meeting the proposition
submitted by friend of Mr.. Mon
tague was that the vote should be
direct for the Governor. The COM
mitteee defeated this resolution upon
the idea that it required too great q
surrender of personal right to dele
gate to any individual candidate, not
merely the right to select delegates
favorable to himself, but likewise
such delegates as would be called
upon to vote for Lieutenant Govern
or and Attorney General and the
still greater surrender, practically
speaking, of giving to the successful
gubernatorlal candidate the authori.
ty of making platform that would
bind the Democratic party of the
county of Clarke. The successful
candidate assumed entire guardian
ship of free people.
1t was concentration of power in
one man living outside of the county,
which the committee thought it nei.
Their had the right nor the power to
grant. The committee was of the
Clarke courier. [volume] (Berryville, Va.) 1869-1997, 1901-06-12

opinion that the people of the county
or Clarke possessed sufficient intelli-
gence and manhood TO vote for dele
gates to act for them In these impor-
tsnt matters, and it so decided but
with one dissenting vote. Has il
come to pass when the people of
Clarke are such imbeciles and idiots
that they can't select for themselves
their own delegates and that they
have to select q gentleman living in
the city of Richmond to determine
for thep not only who they want for
Governor. but for Lieutenant Gov
ernor and Attorney General and what
platform of principles shall be adopt
ell for their government? 1t required
some nerve to suggest this delegation
of power to a stranger. Ii is said on
the streets today that the people are
told that Gen. Fitz Lee rode three
thousand miles TO vote for Montague
and therefore it is assumed, because
Gen. Lee voted for Mr.. Montague,
the people of the county of Clarke
must likewise do So Has it come to
pass too that Gen. Lee, who has not
been in close atflidtiOa at least with
the Democratic party either ia 1896
or 1900, shall by his action, thus die
tate to the people of the county of
Clarke for whom they shall vote.
Mr.. Montague has claimed that be-
cause Maj. John W. Doniel, amongst
others, was for Mr.. Swanson, the peo-
pie of Virginia should turn down
Swanson. Has it come TO pass, in the
county of Clarke at least, that the
people can't trust the brave, lame
lion of Lynchburg, or has it come to
pass that the people of the county of
Clarke have less regard for John
Daniel, who has ever been found in
the midst of the fight for democratic
candidates and principles, than they
have for General Lee, who, notwith-
standing his ride of three Thousand
miles, has not stood in with the Dem
ocratic party in the past two Presi
DENTAL campaigns:
| venture 10 say without dispar-
agement that Mr.. Swanson stands as
high in public estimation where
either ia known a. does the leading
competitor, Mr.. Montague. de-
plore the idea that the people of the
county of Clarke shall be coerced in
to voting for Mr. Montague sinD-
ty because Gen. Lee chose to ride three
Thousand miles 10 rOfe for him. Ii is
said by those VINO ought to know
that the "Red Fox" as they call him
was very astu'e in the campaigns of
! 800 and 1900 in the fact that he
avoided espousing the fight then be
ing made for the free aud unlimited
coinage of silver; In other words it
has been charged, and so far as have
seen. not denied, that Mr.. MOntague's
sympathies were with the gold ele-
ment. On the other hand the OBJ
posing candidates were acting in
their support of the Democratic
ticket in the campaigns of 1896 and
1900. MARSHALL MCCORMICK.

Clarke County Politics.

The Berryville correspondent of
the Richmond dispatch thus reviews
the present political situation in the
county:
The political pot is kept constantly
boiling in this county at this time, all
other topics being sunk into insignifi-
canoe.
The principal interest, of course, is
conferred in the gubernstorisl fight. At
recent meeting of the Democratic Ex-
ecutive Committee of this county June
18th was fixed upon as the date for the
holding of primaries to elect delegates
to the Norfolk convention
The Montague men wanted the voting
to be directly for the several candidates
for the governorship, but this was op-
posed by the Swanson men, who adyo-
Gated voting for the delegates, and the
latter was the plan determined upon.
As between the two, Montague and
Swanson, the sentiment of the people is
believed to be divided, with possibly a
majority in favor of the former. The
real sentiment however, is believed TO
be in favor either of Ellyson or Echols,
rather than for the present leaders in
the fight.
For the Legislature there are already
two candidates snnounced-Messrs
Blackburn Smith, q well-known lawyer
of this place, and John r. Castleman, a
prominent farmer-with rumors of
others. yet to announce themselves. All
of the candidates so far spoken of for
the latter position are from Clarke
county, Warren as yet having no candi-
date in the field.

Attractive Women.

All women sensibly desire to be at
tractive. Beauty is the stamp of
health because it is the outward man
Hesitation of inner purity. A healthy
woman is always attractive, bright
and happy, When every drop of
blood in their veins ia pure beaute-
Gus flush is on the cheek. But when
the blood is impure, moroseness, bad
temper and sallow complexion tells
the tale Of sickness sll too plainly. And
women today know there is no beauty
without health. Wine of Card nj
crowns women with beauty and at
Effectiveness by making strong and
healthy those organs which make her
u woman. Try Wine of Cardui, and
in month your friends will hardly
know you.

the students of Washington and Lee
University N its forthcoming issue,
will contain a number of articles
from prominent people on the late
William l.. Wilson, who at the time
of his death was president of the in
stitution. Among the contributors
is President Mckinley, who says:
William L. Wilson was devoted
to lofty ideals. Although man of
great learning and pronounced lit
erary tastes, he actively participated
In public affairs and gave to his
country his best service. Those who
associated with him learned to re-
spect him for the purity of his mo-
tiyes and the sincerity of his nature,
while his advocacy of measures of
legislation was so able as to win for
them the fullest hearing from their
opponents"
