The Liquor Vote.

1t is reported here that the saloon
keepers inPocahontas will! vote solid
ly for Mr.. Green, the Republican cam
didate for the Legislature. This is to
be expected. Mr.. Lake, his opponent,
has come out squarely for local op-
tion and the Anti-Saloon Leagues
policies. Up to this time Mr.. Green
has said nothing on the subject,
though repeatedly asked to state his
position, and now, on the eve of the
election, he has made no public ut
terance on the subject so far as
known. A vote, for Mr.. Lake, there
fore, is vote for the abolition of the
saloon from the county entirely.

We are authorized and requested to

Mr.. WERTH'S
PLATFORM

Note-For want of space the articles
on Employers Liability bill, Roads.and
the The Torrens System OF Land Reg
istration, are omitted from Mr.. Werths
piatform-Ed Editor.
To the Voters of the Th ird Senatorial
District:
| announce myself IA candidate for
the State Senate from this District,
and ask the honor of representing
you in that body.
If / am elected as your Sena.or, /
shall always lear i'm mind that | am
the representative OF all the people
and-Of every interest.
The important questions which
are most likely TO be the subject of
legislation during the next legislative
convention are too numerous To be
specifically referred 10.
There are some, however, of prime
Importance, rs 10 which il may be
proper for me 10 state my views so
that you may know precisely what
stand for and approve or disapprove
by your votes.
FIRST. Election Laws. / am op-
posed To any law or provision, " hich
is enacted for the purpose of giving
any political party Ii partisan advan-
tage over another. Every such law
should be drafted with the sole view
of making all elections aS ABSOLUTELY
fair as laws, executed through human
agency, can make them.
SECOND. Poll Tax Qualification
The present constitutional provision
making the prepayment of three
years poll ta-S six months before the
election, a prerequisite TO voting, was
never submitted TO or passed upon by
the people. l believe that it is OBJ
noXiOus TO large majority of the
people of Southwest Virginia, with
out regard TO party affiliations. |
also believe ii TO be fruitful source
of fraud and fraudulent devl ces.
/ believe the qualified voters, un-
der the laws now in force, should
have the right TO say whether this
provision shall continue 10 be part
of the organic law of the state, and
will therefore favor submitting con-
stitutional amendment upon thai
question TO the voters Of the state.
THIRD. The Liquor Question
am, and have always been, wholly
oppose 10 the sale of Intoxicating
liquor as beverage. / believe thai
nothing but unmitigated evil car
possibly result either TO the man whC
sells or TO the man who habitually
drinks it, and shall favor all legisla,
ton that has for its object the elimi
nation of this evil.
FOURTH. Insurance Rates:
shall favor and try to pass, Law
which shall prohibit and pen,Jiz
any combinatiCh among fire insur
acne companies for the purpose o
fixing rates unreasonably high.
To those of the voters of this dis
trict who favor the above views,
submit the following questions:
OF the two candidatse before you 70
State Senate, which will be the mos
likely TO accomplish something il
support of the above principles?
VIII the fact that one of the can
didates is the nominee of somebody

them out or strengthen his hands il
the Legislature?
; VIII the fact that one of the can
. didates belongs 10 the minorit
} party, which only boasted of eigh
teen members in the last Legislature
: help that candidate in the least dc
gree 10 secure the passage of a singl
5 measure which you want?

of negotiating that point of mystery,
and it is quite possible that they be-
lieved they might reach it in a ship.
They were without the knowledge of
Arctic geography now the property Of
almost every reader, and, consequently,
had very primitive ideas about the sue
cessful method Of attacking the Pole.
During the nineteenth century the Arc
tic regions were fairly well charted up
to the eishy-third parallel, and dur
ing the last two decades Of the century
attempts to reach the Pole BY various
more or less scientific and novel plans
were made.
These attempts, made at great sacri-
flee Of life and at great expense, show
ed that man may get to the Pole, but
that tho natural conditions must b
favorable. Sir John Franklin essayed
the northwest passage In 1S47. and his
whole expedition was lost; yet they
were 1000. miles from the North Pole.
Thirty search expeditions, costing
about $5,OOO0O0. were sent out by Great
Britain anc the United States during
the succeeding thirty-five years to re-
cover the remains of the party. All

Psary has surpassed his own former

best performance in northing by thirty

Pole than he had ever before been, and
about thirty seven miles further than
bis closest competitor, Captain Cagni.

geographical prize, will be his, for he

Attraction fer ExDlorsRs.
The North Pole has been an attrac-
lion to explorers only in recent times
cay within the last quarter century.
The early explorers did, indeed, dream
Of reaching 80 deg. north, but that
was only half of their vision. The
other half included a descent on the
other side. In brief, they sought a
short route to the Far East, which

Africa. A northeast passage was first
looked for, and then passage by way
of the northwest. Although the explor'
ers encountered floating ice they do not
appear to have started out with the
same respect for the frozen barrier
they subsequently admitted.
About the middle of the sixteenth
century Edward VI. sent out Sir Hugh
Willoughby to find northeast passage.
1t appears to have reached Nova Fem
bla, and was subsequently lost Forty
years later Barentz reached II deg,

son tried to find the passage between
Spitzbergen and Nova Zembla, which
would lead across the Pole. but, al

TIPS IN JAPAN.

There the Innkeeper Is Not Forgot
ten When Guest Goes Away.
If you hotelkeepers should ever be
told of the japanese method Of tipping.
why we would all have to take to the
woods" said a far eastern traveller, IL
the New Orleans Picayune. I'm a jap
anese hotel you give the proprietor til
biggest tip of all when leaving and
grade the other tips accordingly.
when your bill is handed to you it
Is customary to wrap up in separate
piece OF paper an amount approximate
Ing about One-fifth Of the whole account
and give that to the worthy innkeeper,
together with the regular amount re-
CURED Of you by his account, which you
indorse in the folded bill. Then you
wrap up smaller sums In smaller pieces
OF paper and parcel these Christmas
packages out among the servants who
have waited on you.
This tip to the boniface Is called
chodal, or tea money, and the japanese
explain its usage after this manner of
reasoning:
AL hotel charges in Japan are forced
by law to be very low, SO that even the
very poor man who finds himself ON
the road of nights can get food and
shelter for nominal sum. The rich
man has to pay no more than the beg
gar.
Since the hotel man could not make
living If this order Of things were al
lowed to exist, without some saving
grace, some recompense must be made
to the hotelkeeper for his enforced gen.
crosby. Therefore, 1t Is argued, If a
guest can we'll afford to give the host
something more than he asks he not
only provides for those less fortunate
than himself, but he tends himself
against the evil day when he may have
to ask beggar's board and bed. It IL
not charity to the innkeeper, but mere
~ wise provision against possible hard
times.
But II man whom the worthy host
believes to be able to afford q generous
chodal leaves the hotel without paying
the came, woe betide him should he
ever return to that hostelry again. He
will get last chance at the communal
batttub, will get the most drafty room
In the house, and in q hundred WAYS

Terrors Of the Arctic.
To reary the Far North has few ter
rors, yet even he Is willing to admit
the terrors are there. Hunger and
starvation" he says, shave played an
important part in many Arctic expedi-
lions, yet 1t should be remembered that
they have played an equally prominent
part in expeditions III what are cons!d-
cred more favored regions. Careless
ness or mismanagement, or inexperi-
ence or carelessly considered taking
of chances, may make them serious
menace anywhere In the world. In
regard to hunger, as in regard to dark
ness, how many Of my readers know
what real hunger is? I do not mean
the hunger of the man who has slowly
starved to death inactive until he IL
conscious and life Is but the faint
est spark. Such hunger I have nevte
known.
What I do mean Is the hungs
which q man feels who has for wee
been working to his limit, in the biti 4
air Of the Arctic regions, on half Ia
tons or less, till he is only gaunt ma
chine of bones and sinews; the hun
ger Of a man whose heart and lungs
and muscles are working overtime

hot, and every drop of 1t calling fN

THAT is the hunger which leads q
man to jump on bear or musk OK that
he has just killed, lift the skin with his
knife, and fill up on the delicious raw,
warm meat, without waiting for the
useless luxuries Of fire or salt The
hunger which, when a dog dies in har

The North Pole" said Commander
xooert E. Peary before starting on his

geographical prize which the world has

for which the best men of the strong

four centuries; the trophy which the

proud to win"
Peary's hopes Of the prize are found

Of the Arctics. He spent the greater
part of ten years in his reconnaissance
of the Great Ice Cap Of Greenland.
Having conquered this immense Arctic
Sahara, he turned his thoughts toward

Changes took place. They take place
everywhere. The most notable one was
the marriage of Mr.. Baumgarten.
That he had been grievously disappoint-
ed and annoyed at the appointment of
another to the living. which he had been
led to suppose would be his, was a bitter
fact. He set it down to the caprice Of
great men. and strove to live down the
sting. The chief difficulty lay in his con-
templated marriage; and he deliberated
with himself whether he ought for the
present to abandon 1t, or to carry it out.
He decided upon the latter course. 1t is
| probable that he deemed he could not In
honor withdraw now, and it Ia more than
probable that, once having allowed him
self to cherish his hopes and his love, he
was not stole enough to put them from
him again.
