to hear /" What the Bible Had to Say

On the 10th inst, the Republicans of

nominated the following candidates:
For House of Delegates, Harry G. Rob
lnson; for county treasurer, w. E. Hill
lenberg; for sheriff, Henry Wilson; for
Commonwealth's Attorney, Joseph
Crockett Shaffer. They are all splendid
men and should receive the usual Re
publican majority that is given in
Wythe county. Mr.. Robinson is the son
OF the late John w. Robinson, is exten-
sively connected with the best people of
the county and will make a fine repre-
sentative. Mr.. Hillenberg is one of the
most popular men in his county. and
was elected to the last House of Dele
gates by handsome majority. Henry
wilson is an old acquaintance of the
editor Of the Republican, and is one of
the best men and most popular citizens
OF the west end of Wythe Mr.. Shaffer.
we hear, is promising young man in
his profession and has all the elements
that make him strong with the people.
We congratulate the Republicans of
Wythe county upon the sound judgment
they have shown in selecting their can
dloates, and confidently predict that
they will be elected in November.

VIRGINIA WILL BE DIGNIFIED.
Try to Prevent Clash Between State and
Federal Courts In r ste Matter.

Richmond, Va, July 23.-Attorney
General Anderson refused again this
morning to go into any details touching
upon the result of yesterdays confer
ence between the governor, himself and
the members of the State Corporation
Commission concerning the fight of Vir-
ginia for the two-cent passenger rate,
and incidentally the integrity of her
commission, the very life of which has
been attacked by Judge Jeter C. Pritch-
ard, of the United States Circuit Court.
in his injunction prohibiting the state
from enforcing the order of the commits
sion promulgating such rates.
81 can tell you nothing about il. -
said Mr.. Anderson this morning. "ex-
cept that we agree upon the policy we
purpose adopting. must remain quiet
about the manner in which we intend to
put that policy into effect You may be
sure, however, that we are going to do
nothing undignifed."
This probably means that an effort
will be made as far as possible to pre-
vent clash between the state and fed
eral courts. However, 1t Is learned upon
semi-official authority that the state
will probably violate the injunction by
publishing the order of the commission,
which publication is prohibited in Judge
Pritchard's injunction, thus forcing the
issue to a higher court on contempt
charge.
1t is probable, also, that the state
will adopt the policy in vogue in North
Carolina of refusing to recognize the
prohibition imposed by the federal court
and proceed to arrest ticket agents of
the railways who sell tickets to passen-
gers at higher rate than that imposed
by the commission in its order.

WILL VIRGINIA 60 FOR ROAOS7
Believed State Will Follow Example of
North Carolina In Rate Matter.

Richmond, Va, July 2O.-The state
OF Virginia is to make a determined
fight to maintain the validity of the
two-cent passenger rate order of the
corporation commission.
The plan of the contest will be ar
ranged on Monday at a conference of
the corporation commissioners, the gov
ernor, and the attorney general. 1t
seems to be the general opinion that the
state will follow in the wake of North
Carolina and deliberately violate the in
junction of Judge Jeter C. Pritchard. of
the United States circuit court, and
summon the railroads to answer why
they should not be fined according to
law for violation of the laws of the
state. This would bring the matter di-
rectly before the United States court of
appeals and to do away with the dilatory
tactics pursued by the railroads in order
to stave the matter off as long as possi-
BILE, the railroads in the meantime reap
ing the benefit.

Criminals Enjoying Prosperity.

st. Petersburg, July 20. While po-
htical offenders are being hanged for
stealing few roubles for the revolu-
uonary cause, ordinary Russian GRIMM
ais are enjoying record prosperity. The
bourse-gambler Andreyeff, who murder
ed his young wife in a fit of jealousy,
has just been honorably acquitted An
dreyeff suspected his wife of having
transferred her affections to General
Pistalkors. a rich Russian guardsman.
whose wife, in turn, had run away with
the Cars uncle. Grand Duke Paul. The
court acquitted him on the ground that
the evidence showed that his wife was a
heartless coquette.
In Samara, landed proprietor named
Uskoff killed his sister for dishonorine
tee family name. The prosecution
brought evidence to show that Uskoff's
real aim was to secure his sisters prop-
erty, but the jury acquitted him.
All over Russia similar leniency is be-
ing shown. Several murderers who
were proven to have sinned from the
worst motives this month, escaped with
terms OF one or two years imprison-
ment. The worst instance took place
at kursk. A woman poisoned three of
her lovers in succession, after robbing
them of everything they possessed. On

TAFT GIVEN CERTIFICATE
BY SENATOR TILLMAN.
Says II We Must Have a Republican Pres-
Ideut He Prefers the Secretary
OF War.

Cincinnati, July 2S.-'If we are to
have another Republican president, 1
am in favor of William H. Taft" said
Senator Tillman, who is in Cincinnati.
Taft is honest and capable. He has a
much stronger individuality than has so
far been made to appear, and should he
be chosen he would be a sure-enough
president.
"But William Jennings Bryan may be
the Democratic nominee again, and the
fact that he is quite as honest, capable
and intellectual as Mr.. Taft, should not
be lost sight of. Bryan will give any
Republican standard-bearer fierce bat
tie, and think he would beat any one
OF several of them, particularly Fair
banks.
eff Bryan was elected and went sf-
ter Rockefeller or Hartman he would
camp on their trail until he landed them.
'In my opinion Roosevelt is not
averse to denomination, his declaration
to the contrary Notwithstanding. There
would be terrible fight on him, and am
not certain of the result.
"Aside from Bryan there are only
two Democrats in the north of anything
like presidential size. They are John
son, of Minnesota, and Folk, of Mis-
souri,. johnson is not quite big enough
and powerful enough for the job and
Folk has factional fight on his hands
that may put him out Of the running be-
fore the race really starts. This leaves
Bryan alone"

Free Trade onIs Issue
Left to the Democrats.

Kansas City, July %. 1.-THE next Re
publican national platform will declare
unequivocally and distinctly for tariff
revision, Albert B. Cummins, govern
or of Iowa, said here. 'T shall bring
up the question of revision myself, and
believe the convention win sct favor
ably on 1t. The next session Of congress
will not revise the tariff 1t win be one
Of the issues in the next national cam
paign.
with the Republicans standing for
revision and for legislation to curb the
railroads and the trusts, the only thing
left for the Democrats will be to fall
back on the old issue of free trade.
Roosevelt IL the man to carry out
these much needed reforms, and am
one of those who believe that he should
be renominated, and I believe he will
be, and if he accepts he will be elected.
If he refuses and wants Secretary Taft
nominated, expect Iowa will go long
way toward helping him.
Taft is able, broad-minded and hon.
est, and is thoroughly in accord with the
Roosevelt policies.
'The country is not through with the
railroad and antitrust legislation. In
all the state legislatures and in congress
the railroads and trusts will be the sub
5ects of legislation for many years.
