Never before was there so much money
In circulation as there is today at the
beginning of the month, the total had
reached $2,S76. 369, 69e, which gives
SSS.23 for each person in the country.
In paper currency alone there is 81. 1872
4S9, 1852, and every day sees large ad-
dltion to the amount of national bank
notes out standing; on November 2 the
total stood at $611, 1922, GIG and since
then probably SIS, 600, 900 more have been
issued. 1t is evident, therefore, that
the fundamental trouble does not consist
of a shortage Of money" although, of
course, if every one who has a bank ac-
count should attempt to draw upon it
for the purpose of boarding the result
would be disastrous. Fortunately, this
stage of the psychological panic is rap
idly passing into the realm of things re-
GREETED and regrettable. The mints are
manufacturing coin at full speed, every
mail steamer from Europe is laden with
gold, outward-bound ships are carrying
rich cargoes of the 81, 600, 900, 600 worth
of our farm products, and common
sense is gradually gaining the ascen-
dant. Is it not time to speak of the
panic in the past tense?

Experimenting With Health.
Washington Post \

Fortunately, the ordinary human
machine is tough old engine and boiler.
capable of grinding along under neglect
and abuse. The microbe maniac. the
exercise visionary. the dyspeptic. and
tho food fsddist are able to carry ON
their freakish experiments because
they have fairly sound constitutions.
after all. AS soon as they recover their
mental balance they discover that there
was not much the matter with them, ex-
cepting in the head-stomach was far
more sensible than the brain. The
cold, gray truth is beginning to dawn
upon Americans, here and there. that
they are just as healthy and strong as
other people, if they think so and give
themselves a square deal in the way of
simple food, leisurely eating. and plenty
of sleep. There is no reason why Anne
ricans should regard themselves as a
nation of nervous wrecks, to be snatched
from destruction only by violent and
freakish experiments with their insides.

Work for College Men.

College clubs are becoming wonder

Club of New York and the bureau of
self-help of the university in New
Haven reports a greater demand for
Yale men than they can supply, and the
same story is true of Harvard. Recent
ly wealthy Pennsylvania, Harvard
graduate, came to Cambridge and won
over to his business Western Harvard
graduate who had just entered the law
school The university was the medium
which brought the two together.

Position in Sleeping.
New York Press.)

Man is the only animal that sleeps on
its back. Many sleeps on their sides.
but most sleepprone-thati is, face down.
Dogs never dream when prone, but in
variably do so when sleeping on their
side. All of US come from the country
have seen Bung, the hound, chasing rab-
bits in his sleep. An animal would be
perfectly helpless if il slept on its back.
And so is man helpless in that position.
If some other fellow wants a fortune
let him invent pillow that will allow a
man or woman or child to sleep face
down without having to twist his neck
nearly out of joint. We will style it the
''back-cure" and introduce it in all
homes. There is no excuse for living on
the back and keeping the spine hot all
night, while the front of the body-the
abdomen the stomach, the chest, the
throat, etc.-is allowed to become chill
led, A hot spine is a disease generator.
And, on the other hand, cold spine is
death.

ton Of members of the Virginia Legis-
lature and for county officers. Colonel
Slemp died in the midst of thecampaign,
but the work he had done for his party
lived after him, as was evidenced by the
splendid results in the various counties
of this district at the election on the 9Th
inst. The four State Senators then
elected within the bounds of this district
are Republicans, and eight of the eleven
members of the House of Delegates are
Republicans. The Republicans also
elected treasurers in nine of the thirteen
counties west of New River; and
in those counties they elected about all
the other county and district officers.
So. the Republican party, under the
guidance of Colonel Slemp and his eff
Gent assistants, has grown since 1902
from a doubtful majority party into a
splendid and invincible organization.
Shall this organization be destroyed and
this party be again put under the heel
of Democracy? An effort is being made
to accomplish these ends through the
candidacy of David F. Bailey, VINO is
now an independent candidate for Con-
gress, invoking the aid of the Democrats
to help him tear down the temple he so
proudly boasts of having assisted in
building. What reason does he give
for his unholy and indiscreet effort?
None, but bare and groundless asser-
ton that Bascom Slemp and Lou Sum-
mers have combined to deprive him of re-
wards which the claims are due him for
party service. This is a baseless charge
and selfish reason, and will make but
feeble appeal to the loyal Republicans
who have suffered so much from Demo
cratic outrage in the past They will
give no aid and comfort to the deserter
who is trying to pull down their temple.
and place the control of the district
once again in the hands of Democratic
machine. The man who performs a
duty from unselfish motives will claim
no reward. When a selfish man de-
mands reward for duty performed, and
turns upon those who stood with him in
the work, he deserves no reward but will
receive the punishment he courts at
the hands of his former political asso-
ciates.
The Republicans of the Ninth Con-
gressional District will stand by the
leadership and constructive work of
Colonel Slemp, even though he be dead.
They will not listen to any outcry
against his son and other friends who
aided him in making the party great anc
triumphant in the Ninth District.

ENCOURAGING VICTORY.

/ The Republicans Of the Ninth Con-
gressional District won a most signal
victory at the election held on the 9th
inst. for members of the Legislature
and for county officers. Four State
Senators, all that are in the bounds of
the district were elected, and eight of the
eleven members of the House of Dele
gates are Republicans. Two of the
three Democrats who were elected had
no opposition, and the other Democratic
member was elected by less than twenty
majority.
In eleven of the thirteen counties west
of New River the Republicans have
elected nearly all the county officers, in
nine of these counties the county trea-
surers will be Republicans. These cleo
lions have demonstrated more forcibly
than anything that had previously oc-
CURED the growing strength of the Re-
publican party IN the Ninth District.
And, now, with anything like fidelity on
the part of our leaders and workers, the
party should stand so firmly intrenched
that there will be no hope for the Demo
cracy to gain control for many years to
come.
Such a victory as was won in the
Ninth District could only come from an
honest leadership and most intelligent
and active organization. The leader
ship of Colonel Slemp and the organiza-
ton effected by his son c. B. Slemp
have accomplished these great results
for the party in the Ninth. The Repub-
licans recognize these truths and will
give no countenance to any sorehead or
recalcitrant who seeks to dispute them.

WHO SHALL 1T BE7

The District Committee of the Re-
publican party met at Bristol on the
1th inst. and called a convention to
nominate candidate to succeed Colonel
Slemp as our representative in Con-
gress- That convention will be held at
Gate City, Scott county, Va, on the
18th inst. We think it is pretty gen.
orally understood that c. B. Slemp,
known to US all as "Bascom, will be
nominated to succeed his father
A few days after the death of Colonel
Slemp we announced in our columns the
opinion that Bascom Slemp should be
elected to I'LL the unexpired term of his
father. In support of that position we
offered the following suggestions,
"Bascom Slemp is thoroughly CONVEX
SAINT with the work and policies of his
father as the representative of this dis
trict IN Congress. There are q great
many things of interest to our people
that Colonel Slemp was undertaking to
do and have done, and in those matters
Bascom was the confidential adviser
and assistant of his father. He can
take these matters up where his father
left them incomplete, and carry them
to finish Besides, C. B. Slemp is
more thoroughly in touch with promi-
nent officials and public men generally
at Washington than is any man in the
district, or, perhaps, in Virginia. 1t
would take new man years to acquire
the information and influence that Mr..
Slemp now has, and which he has won
with such energy and fidelity.
LAS a matter Of high sentiment as
we'll as from sound business viewpoint
all those Republicans who may aspire
to represent the district should upon
this occasion stand aside and let Bascom
Slemp be selected rs our candidate for
the unexpired term.
Furthermore, he is recognized by
public men, Of the highest official posi-
ton, as one of the most capable men,
in either party, in this State. Of sonnd
judgment, unbounded industry, unfiinch-
ing integrity, high moral and physical
courage, he will make an ideal repre-
sentative for this or any people"
Since the above was published we
have been in touch with many Republi-
cans from all parts of the district, and
have failed to see or hear one, except
Mr.. Bailey, who did not and does not
agree with u.s. Ali the other probable
aspirants for Republican nomination,
with the exception of Mr.. Bailey, have
taken the same view of the situation.
This of course will insure his nomina-
ton at Gate City. And after his nomi-
nation he will be triumphantly elected. |
No living man can defeat him, because
the Republicans stand as solidly for him
as they did for his father, and no doubt
many Democrats will be his friends.

4 Substitute for Sprees.
Chicago Tribune.l


Prof. William James has written for
the American Magazine a profound
study of the powers of man. He shows
by numerous examples that most men
rarely reach the limit of their powers.
or that the habitual limit beyond which
they do not go is far from the limit
which they are able to reach under some
great stimulus. Among these stimuli
which drive man beyond the boundary.
or shift the boundary, are liquors, drugs
and dissipation. Professor James saws,
MANY of US find that an eccentric acti-
witty spree, say-relieves. There is
no doubt that to some men sprees and
excuses of almost any kind are medical.
temporarily, at any rate, in spite of
what the moralists and doctors say. -
If the professor had paused there his
words would have been quoted with de-
light by many as a justification of their
eXcesses- But he continues; "But
when the normal tasks and stimulation
OF life don't put mans deeper levels
OF energy on tap and he requires dis
tinctly deleterious excitements, his con-
stitution verges-on the abnormal.
The writer then goes on to show how
much truer and more powerful stimu-
lus is the will. The exercise of the will
opens greater depths of unused energy
than outside stimulations could ever
reach. An act of abnegation, a cons
cious sacrifice of self for the good of
others, or a manly resistance against
temptations, is in itself a greater stimu-
lus than anything that could be applied
from without accompanied by the con-
sclousness of weakness within. By go
ing on from day to day to harder tasks
OF resistance one reaches, in the normal
soul, a condition where the full energy
of the man is at his command.
