Some People
Can't Eat
Bread

Bread is reputed to be the "stafl
Of life" yet there are some people
who never eat bread. We allude
to this because of a curious paral.
lei fact in medicine. If even bread
does not suit quite everybody, we
don't expect one medicine, even
Vinol, to cure everybody.
But we recommend Vinol and
sell it on a guarantee of money
back if it does not benefit the user.
Though we can't expect all to
be cured, yet, strange to say, out
of every one hundred bottles sold,
less than two per cent proved
unsatisfactory. IN other words,
ninety-eight out of every hundred
found sVinol of value - many of
them of very great value.
We want to say that if you are
rundown, weak, too thin, ailing,
with bad stomach, poor appetite,
cough, nervousness, that we think
Vinol will help you. AT any rate,
it will cost nothing to try it.
You can have your money back if
you say it doesn't help you. Vinol
has a pleasant taste, and is recon-
mended by physicians as a safe
and unusually effective body-builder
and general tonic.
Our Vinlax, for constipation, is
Vinol's companion remedy, sold on
the same guarantee.

NOT A PARTY OF PRINCIPLE.

Our highly esteemed contemporary the
Norfolk Virginian. in an editorial,
"The Real Force of Democracy" says;
The real force of Democracy resides in
its sincerity. 1t cannot successfully play
the role of a party of expediency. 1t
must have principle to inspire and unity
It's adherens. Without that it can ac-
coInplish nothing"
We have no doubt of this expression
being one of honest conviction on the part
of cur contemporary, but it does not truly
apply to either the Virginia or the Ma
tioual Democracy. There may have been
q time when the Democracy was a great
party of principle, but for the past thirty,
or more, years it has been entirely one OF
expediency. 1t has not only selected its
candidates for the national ticket upon
that idea but its platforms have been
evolved the same way. "Witb whom and
on what issue can we VIM" has been the
chief inquiry of the Democracy; and there
the party stands today. They made the
tariff the leading issue in 1892, free silver
and imperialism, successfully, the para
mount issues in 1896 and 1900 Cleve-
land was the man of destiny and exped-
iency in 1902 and Bryan was labeled the
same in 1896 and 1900. Now the Demo-
cracv, and our esteemed contemporary
along with it, is repudiating them both;
and is engaged in an eager search for a
candidate and an issue that will be ex-
pedient. j. Taylor Ellyson, Chairman OF
the Democra ic party in Virginia, in re-
cent interview at Washington said: GIVE
US a man with whom we can win and we
will give him the solid electoral vote OF
the South" He voiced the sentiment of
the Virginia Democracy, of the South and
of the Nation.
We gay it in sorrow, but the Demo-
cratic party will have to be reformed,
yea, recreated before it will cease to be
one of expediency and become one of
principle.

Trust Evils Are SeIf.curing.

Rochester Democrat and Chronicle"
The Corn Products Company appears
to be one of the trusts that are commonly
described as chad" This means that it
combined a number of small concerns,
capitalized them far above their value, and
undertook to earn dividends on an excess
i've amount of stock by suppressing COM
petition and making consumers of its
goods pay extortionate prices. Attracted
by the profits of the business, new compa-
MES were organized, with improved ma
chinery and processes. The result is thus
stated by the Kansas City journal :"
'Instead of the trust being able to under.
sell and drive them out. they we're able to
uDdersell the trust. single independent
company, with capital of $1,000, 900, is,
it is said, grinding one-third as much corn
and turning out one.third as much goods
as is the trust with its capitalization of
$40, 000,000 The trust has, therefore,
been compelled to shut down several of its
plants, and its stock is undergoing swift
and destructive slump IN the market"
All of which shows the difference between
sound and unsound business methods, and
directs renewed attention to the folly ofat-
tempting to ignore or defy the laws of sup
ply, demand, trade and competition

AN ADVOCATE OF. HATE.

There s a paper in Richmond, Virginia,
called the "Christian Advocate" 1t is
supposed to he the organ of the Virginia
Conference of the NJ E. Church, South.
About one year ago an editorial appeared
in that paper which was a brutal attack
upon the negro race, and last week there
was another such attack in the columns Of
the paper. The writer, who is supposed
to be DR.. Laferty, the editor, treats the
negroes as a race of brutes, and denounces
the taking of the negro from slavery as a
blunder and crime. The articles in ques'
ton are written from a bitter partisan,
political standpoint, and we hope they do
not reflect the sentiments and views of the
ministry of the Methodist Church at the
South and in Virginia. The expressing Of
such doctrine is reflection upon the jus
tice of the Almighty and an assault upon
the integrity of Christianity. Its success
ful PRONUNCIATION would overthrow the es-
sential doctrine of the unity of the human
race, and would subvert the basic doctrine
of the Church that: GAS in Adam all
men died, so in Christ are all men made
alive again." 1t seems that DR.. Lafferty
has outliyed his faith, if he ever had any.
Do the preachers of the Virginia Con-
ference subscribe to bis views on the ne
gro2 If so, they should change the name
Of their paper. If they do not they should
change the editor.
Amalgamation of the races is perfectly
abhorrent to us, and is violation of the
laws of God and nature. We do not sub
scribe to the doctrine of social equality, as
there is and can not be any such thing be-
tween either men or races. But when we
can give our support to such doctrines as
those promulgated by the Richmond
Christian Advocate we will cease to have
faith in the Church and in Christianity.

1T is PECULIAR.

1t is something of coincidence that the
News Leader, standing for law and order
in the street-car strike several months ago,
was falsely regarded 10y some very good
people as the friend of one member of the
Gould family and now finds itself very
earnestly opposing the methods of another
member of the same family. Richmond
News Leader.
1t does strike US as being little pecu-
lia- and inconsistent, this attitude of our
contemporary. Not on account Of the
GouIds being the financially interested
parties; but because our contemporary IN
Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1903-12-10

the first instance stood for law and order
and that it now stands for lawlessness and
disorder. 1t denounced the street
strikers and the mohs for their lawless-
ness, and now expresses sympathy for the
striking messengers of the Western Union
Telegraph Company, though they have
been guilty of repeated acts of violence
toward the negroes who have been EN-
ployed to fill their places. Tie News
Leader has even gone 20 far as to advise
the people of Richmond TO boycott the
Western Uni"n Telegraph Company, and
It has instruct ed its corr espondenis through
out the couotry to practice TIE boycott.
Such course strikes us as being not only
inconsistent but inexcus tbe.
