An Inexcusable Action.

Harrisonburg Spirit of Valley.
Our attention has been called lately to
an action of the Republican State Execu-
tive Committee in July last, which, go far
as we can find out, is probably the most
high-handed act known even to the Re-
publican organization Of Virginia IN late
years. On July 30th the State Executive
Committee held session in Richmond
and declared Mr.. Edgar Allan, Jr., the
lawfully elected member of that commit
tee. The members of the Executive
Committee under our plan of organiza-
ton are elected by the delegates to the
State convention. At Norfolk the Third
District was entitled to and had present Al
delegates. When the vote was taken for
member of the Executive Committee, Mr..
g. P. Snead received % votes; Mr.. Edgar
Allan votes; and there were eight dele
gates absent or not voting. Mr.. Allan
carried his contest to the Executive Com.
mittee. The only argument of bis cup
porters was that 1t had been agreed upon
between Judge Lewis and Col. Slemp that
he should be the member Of the Execu-
tive Committee. Even if this statement
were correct it would carry no weight, for
the choice is required to be made by the
delegates present and by nobody else;
but both Col. Slemp and Judge Lewis de-
MED that any such agreement existed. In
addition to that Judge Lewis was chair
man of the Third District delegation and,
as chairman, certified the result mention.
ed above, showing that Mr.. Snead re-
ceived more than two-thirds of the dele
gates to which the Third District was en-
titled.
AS seen by us, this action has no possi-
BILE excuse. We were loath to believe that
such action could be taken on 80 slight
fact, on no ground at all. We
took the pains to investigate the matter
thoroughly both by talking with, men,
Der of the committee who was present and
by Mr.. Allans own statement.
This article is not written to stir up any
ractional difference. Both the claimants
agree with the views Of this paper as to
he need of a reorganization Of the party,
out if such actions go unchecked it will
bring discredit upon the party.

WHY SHE BELIEVED HIM.
Teacher Was Going to Marry the
Handsome Man and Nothing
Would Ever Go Wrong.

The pretty school-teacher. for little
advertisement, had asked her class for
the best original definition of wife
and the boy in the corner had promptly
responded: "A rib"
She looked at him reproachfully, re-
lates London Tit-Bits. and nodded to
the boy with the dreamy eyes, who
seemed anxious to say something.
Mans guiding star and guardian an
GEL" he said, in response to the nod
"a helpmeet," put in little flaxen-
haired girl.
Zone who soothes man in adversely"
suggested a demure little girl.
And spends his money when he's
fiush," added the incorrigible boy In the
corner.
There was lull, and the pretty, dark
eyed girl said, slowly:
"a wife is the envy of the spinsters."
Zone who makes a man hurry and
work." was the next suggestion.
"And keeps him from making fool
of himself" put In another girl.
Some one for a man to find fault with
when things go wrong" said sorrowful
little maiden.
Stop there!" said the pretty school
teacher. That's the best definition"
Later the sorrowful little maiden
sided up to her ard asked:
please, teacher, aren't you going to
marry that handsome man who calls for
you nearly every day."
Eyes, DEAR" she replied; put with us
nothing will ever go wrong. He says
30 himself"

ANOTHER YEAR HAS BEGUN.

According to the Christian method of
computing time another year has ended
and another has begun IN the history OF
the world. The year 1904 which has just
been closed was in most respects satisfsc-
tory to the American people. Our coun-
try was visited by no epidemics Of disease,
and was free from war and famine Not only
were our relations with other countries en-
tirely peaceful, but the agricultural pro-
ducts we're Of such enormous volume as to
insure abundant food supplies for the large
and growing population. So far as the
business interests were concerned, all
classes and conditions of men did well.
Labor was all the time employed at agood
Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1905-01-05

rate of wages, and capital found no trouble
in making profitable investments. The
farming class was especially fortunate.
Crops were abundant and prices ruled
high during the entire year of 1904.
Though at times the financial world lem
braced in Americs) became alarmed at
what was apprehended to be threatened
scarcity of money, at no time during the
year was there dearth of circulating
medium. Natural conditions were rein
forced by wise and successful manage
ment of our governmental affairs, and
everything conspired during the year just
closed to make the American people pros
porous and happy.
From present indications the new year,
1905, gives promise of being another good
business year for our people. Within the
past two months there has been renewed
activity in the manufacturing and mining
industries, and it now looks as If this ac-
tivity will continue and grow as the year
progresses. In financial circles there is
more conservatism than has been known
for long while, and the speculative fever
has been greatly toned down. A spirit of
confidence and hope seems to permeate
our business affairs.
For the agriculturlsls all seems well, ex-
cept for the cotton growers Of the South.
The enormous production (l4,0O0,O0O
bales) of that staple last year has caused
break in the excellent prices that prevailed
in 1904. Fortunately the planters are in
good financial condition, and they will be
able to hold their cotton for better prices
and will not be 30 completely at the
mercy of spectators as they were in years
that are gone. We trust this may be &C.
complished.
Here, in our own section of Virginia, the
outlook is bright. Our people are in good
financial condition, and the indications
point to greater development of the ma
terial wealth than has been witnessed DUR
ing any year of the past decade. Last
year conditions were most favorable to
our agricultural interests, and we are con-
6dsnt that this year will prove as good, if
not better, for our farmers than the last
Southwest Virginia has for the last twenty
five years been steadily progressing in
every way and it is destined to become
one of the wealthiest and most noted sec
tons of the world. If we are not misled
by the present outlook the year 1905 will
be noted one in Its history.

Scientific personages, as we'll as the rest

the human race through all ages has eaten

All stomach trouble is removed by the
use OF Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. 1t gives
the stomach perfect rest by digesting what
you eat without the stomach's aid. The
food builds up the body, the rest restores
the stomach to health. You don't have
to diet yourself when taking Kodol DYs-

vile, Mich, Gays, 81 suffered heartburn
and stomach trouble for some time. My
sister-in law has had the same trouble and
was not able to eat for six weeks. She
lived entirely on warm water. After tax
ing two bottles of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure
she was entirely cured. She now eats
heartily and is in good health. l am glad
to say Kodol gave me instant relief"

the benefit of his country, and that under
no conceivable circumstances is it a sub
iect for barter or sale. But the Demo-
Gratis cannot complain Of the Republicans
buying votes as long as they show will
ingness to do the same thing, AS long as
both political parties are inclined to but
votes, neither has the right to complain
because the other happens to have the
longer purse.
If the seller is on the permanent roll
that is, if he registered prior to January
l, 1904, by virtue of section q Of the
constitution, he has the right to be aided
in the preparation of his ballot by such
officer of the election as he himself may
designate. This provision facilities the
purchase of votes. The buyer can require
the seller before consideration is paid that
he must have a certain officer mark HE
ballot. The provision of the constitution
that persons registered after January J.,
1904, shall mark their own ballots should
be strictly enforced, as it tends in some
degree to curtail the purchase of votes by
rendering the buyer lees certain that the
vote is cast in accordance with the agree
ment; but do not think proper attention
was paid to this provision in the last
election, the officers in many Instances
aiding any voter desiring assistance, re-
gardless of when he registered.
The convention thought the voters on
the permanent roll should have aid,
and it could devise no better measure than
to allow the voter to select his own mark
er. While it may facilitate the purchase
of votes to some extent, it fs certainly
preferable to the old method OF allowing
the judges to select marker by majority
vote, method which was subject to the
very greatest abuse. Whatever may take
place outside the booth, we should most
earnestly desire that nothing wrong
should take place on the inside of the
booth. To this end the greatest care
should be exercised by the electoral
boards in selecting good men for election
officials. Absolute purity in tie election
officials will have great tendency to raise
the standard of political morals among the
people.
The Democracy has control Of our cleo
ton machinery, and the duty devolves
upon it to provide the State with election
officials true and conscientious, fearless
and faithful, incorrupt and incorruptible,
sustained and maintained by the whole
power of the Commonwealth.
The result in the Ninth IN the last cleo
ton disarms the suspicion of our election
officials, which cur political opponents are
ever too ready to engender and encourage.
If the Democrats of the Ninth will pay
their poll taxes, organize and determine
to use all legitimate, fair and honorable
means and methods to redeem the Ninth
from Republicanism, they will redeem it,

edgment of my high appreciation of the
