THE TEMPERANCE PEOPLE.

At the election which is to be held on
the 18th inst. the temperance advocates
10 the Ninth Congressional District will
have an opportunity to show by their
votes how sincere and earnest they are
in the principles they profess. Never
before has either of the two great po-
iitical parties pr scented a platform that
endorsed the principle of local option
snd its effective enforcement by
proper National legislation This the
Republicans Of the district have done in
the platform which was adopted at Gate
City on the 18th Of Move Der.

Baked AppIes.-A baked apple is
the most easily digested of any way

apples and baked apples.
For variety's sake, try peeling
them before baking. Peel and core
the apples carefully, fill the hollows
with sugar and any spice preferred,
lay in an enameled baking pan, pour
ing just enough water to cover the
bottom, then bake in a moderate
oven until tender and delicately
crisped on the surface. Sometimes a
bit OF butter is placed on top of each
apple before putting in the oven.
Meantime take the cores and peel
ings, cover with water and stew gent
ly for an hour. Strain, sweeten slight
ly, add little nutmeg, cinnamon or
lemon, and pour over the apples. cool
in the Tan in which the apples are
baked, then serve cold with cream.
Apples should never be baked in
tin, which darkens both apples and
juice.
Filings for Baked Apples.-As a
variety is the spice of life, even in
baked apples, here are a few good
filings that may be used from time to
time. Nuts are specially nice for
this. Any kind may be used, but pc
cans, black walnuts, hickory nuts or
butternuts are perhaps best For
dozen large apples, a cup and a half
of the meats will be required. Chop
fine and mix with sugar. allowing a
dessertspoonful for each apple. Fill
the cavities and bake in the usual way.
A half banana sprinkled with sugar
and lemon juice makes q good filing
for an apple. Figs and dates steamed,
chopped and rolled in sugar, chopped
nuts with strips Of lemon or orange
peel, or honey and butter are all ap-
propriate and usually approved.
Baked Apples to Serve with Meat

FHE DAYS DUTY.
CONTRIBUTED

The Republicans of the Ninth Con-
gressional District of Virginia have a
chance to do three very distinct things
on the 18th of December:
First. Honor the memory of the late
Colonel Slemp by electing his son 70 fill
his unexpired term.
Second. Honor themselves by send
ing to Congress a man who has the es-
TEEN and confidence of every honest,
loyal Republican in the District.
Third. Rebuke by a most decisive
vote the attempt to disrupt the party
and censure the man who was afraid to
submit his claims to the regularly
chosen delegates of the county mass
meetings.
Tdere IS no question of the compare
tive merits of Bascom Slemp, the regu-
larry nominated candidate and the one
or more self-aominated candidates.
Slemp will be real representative in
every sense Of the word. He is young,
ambitious, energetic, capable and trust
worthy. His election will not be in
doubt if every loyal Republican does his
duty. But there is something besides
the election of Slemp to be done on De-
cember 18th. 1t will be necessary to
bury all so-called independent move
ments If the Republican party is to keep
in control. A divided party would mean
disaster. Let those who do not believe
in system and organization and regu-
larity go over to the other side and a
good time to draw the line will be on
the third Tuesday in December.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1907.
a HOPELESS UNDERTAKING.

AS the campaign progresses and nears
a conclusion Mr.. Bailey must realize
how hopeless is the task he has under
taken to perform. Perverse as he has
shown himself to be in disregarding the
counsel of friends and foolishly accept
ing the advice of former political foes.
he has plunged recklessly into a move
ment to defeat his own party at one of
the most solemn periods in its history.
IL he has not become totally blind from
passion and desperation he must see
that it would have been wiser for him
to have submitted his claims to a regu-
lar convention Of his party friends, even
II 'Bascom would get the nomination
and Bailey would get the ovation" 1t
would be much more comfortable, we
imagine, for his friends to put him on
the shelf than to have to give him a
licking, with his pretended Democratic
friends looking on and shouting with
delight as they see the unequal fight
going on between Slemp and Bailey, a
contest which Mr.. Bailey has permitted
Democrats to cajole him into making.
Even the Abingdon Virginian, supposed
to be friendly to Mr.. Bailey, says:
The thing for the Democrats to do
IN this game is TO watch the fight be-
tween the Bailey and Slemp factions
and gather up what lessons there are to
be learned therefrom.
Now watch the wool fly from the
other fellows"
And this is the attitude that Mr.. Bal
ley's Democratic friends occupyl They
will see no wool fly from the other fell
lows, because there are no Bailey and
Slemp factions among the Republicans
of the Ninth District. The Republican
party in the district was never more
thoroughly united, and it is united for
Bascom Slemp. Not only is this true,
bat of those Democrats who do vote on
the 18th inst. a majority will vote for
Slemp. The moral force of the Democ-
racy in the Ninth is Disguised with the
very small politics that have been
played by certain of its leaders in con-
nection with the candidacy of Mr.. Bal
ley. They are turning away with loath-
ing from such tricks as have been
played, and will help to swell Bascon
Slemp's majority over Bailey, and thus
enter protest against the action OF
the so-called Democratic mass meeting
at Bristol. Not a single Democratic
newspaper is giving its support to Mr..
Bailey, while several are outspoken in
their support of Mr.. Slemp.
With only few Republicans in very
few localities standing by him, and with
practically all the Democrats turning
their backs on him, Mr.. Bailey is in a
truly pitiable situation. He has already
found, as was predicted to him, that
kicking Republicans are few and "on-
sartin" and that Democratic friends
will not do to trust at all.
Mr.. Bailey can yet save himself from
crushing humiliation by withdrawing as
a candidate. We make this suggestion,
not because of any apprehension as to
the triumphant election of Bascom
Slemp, but because of our desire to
save Mr.. Bailey from the certain po-
litical death which awaits him if he
continues to stand as an independent
candidate.

There are about thirty weekly news
papers published in the Ninth District.
Of this number eight are Republican
and the balance are Democratic in poll
tics. All the Republican and several of
the Democratic papers are supporting
Mr.. Slemp. Not single newspaper in
the district is supporting Mr.. Bailey.
This shows that he is nobody's candi-
date, except Bailey's.

ten Republicans in the district favored
the nomination of Bascom Slemp as the
successor of his father for the unexpired
term. With that sentiment prevailing,
how could any other man be nominated?
