L0U00Uh'S CANDIDATE
FOR CONGRESS
Hon. John r. Ryan

Hon. John +. klNey, we respectfully ask
AT the hands Oi the other counties OF the

consideration that il our due
With our .G2G Democratic votes. the
first IN the column of the Eighth District,
aud one Of the first Of the counties of the
state III population and wealth, We are
not without Justice in our plea.
For generation we have remained
the hewer- of wood and the drawers of
water To our sister counties Of Fauquier,
Fairfax, Prince William and Culp-per,
who have carried oil the honors, and
more than once have given their SONS
the support they much needed.
A seIsc Of justice should obtain in
polliirs nialrness In as much out OF
place IN IA campAlngn as III any other
walk oi Lille. II We want to get the
hlg hest aud test seryce IA public work
and duty wc must measuIe by the high
crJ standard. While all men 20 in tO
win there are certain standards Of right
that are so obvious that no man should
be Indifferent tO them.
Loudoun comes now with q solid front
with thacanddate that has been repeatedly
hOnOred by the leading men Of the State,
IN the speAkerrhip of the House of Dele
gates. John +. Ryan is typical Of the
best Of LOudOun. a successful farmer and
u successful business man, and recOg-
nized throughout the State as one OF the
most efficient members of the State
Legislature when he served in that body.
Ia this day of public graft and corpO-
rate schemes a man experienced in the
public service Is the need of the hour.
There is no better illustration OF the
strength and standing of the man than
the tribute Of support that is coming to
him from the leading men IN different
parts II the district.
John +. Ryan has not spent his life In
alone talking about things lie has not
made "A noise about IL, but those who
served with him ia the Legislature-in
fact the members oi both branches
matters Of slatecraft.
There is no better test of mans
standing aud character-his real worth
than the opinion of his neig ghbOrs, and
the people among whom Mr.. Ryan has
lived are his staunchest supporters.
The trust the county has given him 10
the past has been executed with credit
aud honor. both to himself and his
county. and We confidently predict that
the same will be his good report in the
honor he is now seeking in an honorable
and manly way.
This is Loudoun's opportunity and
John + Ryan is our opportunity To win
let us give him our united and enthu-
-iastic uppOrt.-Loudoun Mirror.

THE ROADS ARE GETTING GOOD

I'm tired of forever staying at home,

When the roads get good, I'm going to

Ye editor so kind to carry US through;
But for the Lance" in the dark we'd be.
No news about the roads, don you gee?
Will they ever get good?
I'm going to the bakers to get some
bread,
A change Of diet good for country bred
I'll 90 to the butchers get some STEAK
So tender it won't make my teeth arhe,

The Photographic rooms I'll grace,
Give him a dollar to make face,
Or dozen as it happens TO be,
Such novelties absent friends long To sec,
Should the roads get good.
To tine drug store and the book store
rare,
In both houses III have business there,
At the caie, where oyster are no more,
But will get other good thing galore.
Az the roads get good.
Well. it will not be so very long,
Till we can sing glad new song,
For the March winds and Old Soils ray r
Will bring us brighter and happier days
For the roads are getting good.

THE TROUBLE IN BELFAST.
Martial Law to Be Proclaimed Satur-
day If Police Strike.

epecial Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON, August 1.-Anxiety as to the
situation In Belfast has developed into dis
oussion Of the probability of proclamation
of martial law. in which event the city will
be divided into six military districts. with
one resident magistrate quartered in each
district.
A dispatch from Dublin says that martial
law will be proclaimed on Saturday II the
police 60 out on strike then. in accordance
with the ultimatum of their leader. Con-
stable Barrett. The proclamation would
not affect Belfast, but all parts of the
country. with the possibility that the whole
Of Ireland would be under martial law
within fortnight
It Is highly improbable that the demands
Of the police for higher pay will be granted.
This Is now the most serious phase of the
situation. as the outlook for labor is bright
er and there were the strongest hopes for
the settlement Of the dock laborers' strike
until the characterization of the police gave
the agitators fresh encouragement
Over six thousand troops are now quar-
tered in Belfast, q display of military force
which dispatch this morning says, Is re-
assuring aw-abiding citizens. The arrival
of the Berkshire regiment was greeted with
much popular cheering. But it does not les
sen the tension Of the police difficulty.
