SENASOR MARTIN is ENviUUS.

Senator Martin unquestiOnably has
more newspapers on bis staff now than
he had six years ago. He has we know
the Petersburg Index Appeal, the
Rock bridge News, the Rockingham
Register. the StauntOn Dispatch News,
the Danville Register, and many
others. But Senator Martin ought not
to grow so spiteful at those papers
which do not support him simply be-
cause be is In the newspaper business
himself. If Mr.. Martin cannot control
the entire press of Virginia he should
not rage like the heather over the fact.
If his wallet. or those of his friends
who so graciously contribute to causes
which work out to his benefit, is sutfi
GENTLY large, he may control more
newspapers than he does now control.
If money is not the influence which
draws toward him, the more virtuOus,
he can use other ''extraneous infiuen-
ces'' and see what he can do, he may
get all or nearly all, but he should
not do as he has done every time he
has spoken in Stanton, where he is
said to have newspaper property
wither the poor hard struggling little
weeklies by the awful blasts of his ter
rifle OratOry and his terrible vengeance.
The Argus possibly, we know the
SPECTATOR, hegs that it may not be
blasted by this Omniverous newspaper
statesman. They admit their crimes
in not supporting him and being in
the way OF his newspapers. they
acknowledge their Offense and how
heniOus 1t is, but they would die easier
if they could but divest themselves of
the idea that the hurt inflicted on
Senator Martin is not so much felt by
him as a senator, as by him as news
paper monOp0list and fixer- If you
wish to hurt some men, says seer,
stab them in their pocket book. 1t
may be envy that drives Senator Mar
tin to such belittling extremes, or re-
venge at supposed injury to his min
ions of the press.

1T OUGHT TO REFLECT ON MR..
MARTIN.

/ in the face of the Richmond prl
mary frauds Mr.. Martin can win in
this election, We say good bye to efforts
for fair dealing in Virginia. We hear
it asked what did Mr.. Martin have to
do with the primaries in Richmond ?
We don t know exactly what, his head
quarters have been and are now in
Richmond, he is consulted about
everything political that goes on in
the State, he was consulted, we feel
sure, as to the judges who were to hold
that election, HIS FRIENDS were the
ones who did hold 1t, and it is HIS
FRIENDS who stand today Indicted for
the frauds committed. "How glorious
Is battle when you haYe no friend
there ?" Some one has added, ''and
are not there YOURSELF
Governor Montague can truthfulIy
say he had no friend there and was
not there himself. But Mr.. Martin if
not there did have friends there, some
of whom are likely to suffer penalties
if not wear stripes. This is the worst
blow a machine ever got. 1t knocked
several cogs out of the main fly wheel,
and how humiliating to have grand
jury investigating an election in which
we were found cheating ourselves, de-
frauding ourselves, just as the Repub
licans were holding their convention.
What a sweet morsel, did our Boss,
Mr.. Martin, serve up for us, and how
sweet it tasted to the Republicans as
5embled at Roanoke. That they took
advantage of it can be seen by their

TO THE PEOPLE.

This is our last issue before the pri-
mary which takes place on the I'D OF
this month. We call especial atten-
tiOn to the fact that every Democrat
has a right to vote in this election, and
if he fails or refuses he has no right
afterward to lament or condemn. The
fault will be his if things have not gone
to suit him. We know that corporate
interests are growing more and more
dangerous to the interest of the indi-
vidual every day; we know that GER
tain men are being placed in positions
especially to aid corporations; we
know that corporations never count
the money they spend to accomplish
an end; we know that lamb and a
wolf cannot long exist in the same
pasture; we know that those who till
the soil, just as do our Augusta county
farmers, have been and are now the
prey of the schemiDg capitalist who
manages the beef trust, the coal trust,
the money trust, and the thousand and
one other trusts which live upon the
toll of the producers and who stand in
with the railroads in rebates and other
wise to get the hard earnings of those
who labor. The people can break up
many of these rObberies if they will go
to the polls and vote for men who are
not the servants of corporations and
who are free to act for themselves and
the masses they represent. Let our
friends go to the polls and make them
selves felt. Let them smash machine
politics. and take the yoke of the boss
off their necks. This is the first time
they have had a real chance, let them
avail themselves of it.

REPUBLICANS PUT ON WAR PAINT.

The Republicans in Virginia have
grown bold, they have at last swelled
themselves from toad size to that of
the OK. They have shouted themselves
into the belief that they can accomplish
something in this State, but they are
not quite sure, and those outside the
State are not quite sure. This is evidenc
ed by the fact that their candidate for
GOVERNOR udge l.. L. Lewls-who is
now District Attorny for the Eastern
District of Virginia, has resigned his
position with string to it, That
is the president will give it back to
him In the event he falls down" In his
gubernatorial aspirations. This is a
bad start. But Judge Lewis and his
party have made other bad starts. AS
strange as it may seem Judge Lewis
has displayed venom in his speech of
acceptance which we did not believe
Was in him. He has shown a pent up
hatred toward the Democratic party
which savOrs of reconstruction times.
We had regarded him as conservative,
as man of pronounced opinions but
devoid of bitterness, of fixed ideas but
free of hatred, in fact sorry for what
he called the errors of his brother Vir-
glnians In their political ideas, but
charitable as to what be considered
their faults. If his speech at Roanoke
is sample we must learn the judge all
over again. We have been misIed from
start to finish and his organism is not
what we thought it, We are 10th to
change our views and opinions of him
for we have had for him feelings of
high personal regard, as politician, as
public official. and as man. The
speech of Judge Lewis will be handi.

wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
OF the urinary passage. 1t corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of LIQUOR,
wine or beer, and overcomeS that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to 90 often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night The mild and the extra

Hon. Chas. Scott Coming Home.

Hon. Charles Scott, of Rose
dale, Bolivar county, who is
known as the largest individual
cotton planter in the world, sailed
Sunday for New York. Mr..
Scott was in Paris Saturday,
where he concluded his tour of
the continent, where he has spent
the past three months studying
labor conditions and the immigra-
tion question.
Mr.. Scott, in common with 9TH
er planters of the South, has
suffered much of late years from
the unsatisfactory condition of la
Dor. The negro appears to be
becoming more uncertain each
year, and it is getting harder and
harder to get sufficient labor for
growing cotton. Mr.. Scott sailed
early in last July on a trip of in
vestigation to ascertain the most
suitable classes of immigrants in
the old world for the cotton in
dustry. During his tour he has
visited Italy, Belgium, Holland ,
Germany and France, and it is
expected that he will have much
of interest to say when he returns.
He is expected to reach home in
the next ten days or two weeks,
via New York.

Editor Joe Dale Talks SageIy About
Going 10 School.

Boys or girls who fail to go to
school when they have the oppor-
tunity, and make every minute
count, will realize when they come
to face the sterner duties of life
that they have made lamentabIe
mistake. Most parents are to
blame for this in that they do not
encourage their children, or make
the way possible. They Justify
their course by saying that if
their children have as good a
chance as they had they (t6e chill
dren) should be very well salts
fed. Well, we have this much to
say about such a line of argument:
If the children of the editor of the
Press have no better chance than
we had, and we are responsible
for it, we'll feel like the place in
which to end our days should be
the penitentiary. Times have
changed, conditions have changed,
almost everything has changed
except the rate of interest, and
poor little you and me can't step
up and take the hand of time and
turn it back to our boyhood pc
riod. Obi the Improvements we
would make if we could, but we
can't do it. The time may be a
little fast for us, but we've SIM
ply got to rub some liniment on
the rheumatic" joints, apply a
little turpentine to the tender
parts, and catch the procession!
Those who do not educate can not
possibly stand up before the rush
of the present tide and that which
is to come. The power is ire
sistible. How, oh! how can we
afford to stand stiIl?-To 60 on is
to win. The saddest sight in the
world to us is to see a boy or a
girl without any ambition, with
out any desire to improve, and
whose only effort is the energy
expended in trying to keep out Of
work; whose polish, if imbeciles
can be polished, is on the surface
and can be seen through at a
glance; whose creed is selfshness,
and whose god is pleasure. Where
will they land9 God only knows.
There is one thing; we hope we
all won't 60 to the same hereafter,
for we've had enough of them in
this sphere. Lawrence County
