virgfhian Tie much esteemed critic
simply informed the writer that he
should post up on ancient history and
also on national affairs and not fool
With current matters about the town
Of Riyesyille and other small matters
over the county etc. ] viii have the
critic as well as the public TO know n!
that. i do not pose as writer or 2
poet for notoriety general or personal
and ] sholl not quote Shakespeare,
Longfellow, shortfellow or Milton. In
order to make a few individuals who
are above current and original writing
think that, / have staid up late at
night and got up early in the morn
ing to read their sayings in order to
reproduce them in the newspapers
when newspapers are supposed to have
the major part of their columns filed
with current history and sometimes
then It's stale before a great many
read it, If ever.
The Lone Star is fully aware that
there are libraries iambed full Of his
tories and books which If read and re-
produced in the newspapers would cut
out a great deal Of current foolishness
as some would term It and it might
be good thing for some of West vir-
ginia's and Marion county's capdi'
dates If 1t was done especially during
the campaign Of 1908 when the an
clent history of some who with few
of their friends think themselves com
petent and qualified to govern the
universe regardless Of their capabil
ity which would he found as wanting
when put to the proper and honest
test as a pound of strong butter when
weighed in the balances and spread
on your bread.
DON'T look in the RiyesVilIe news
for what John the Baptist or Solomon
of old did or said by any means as
you will not see 1t. You will find the
news about them in the Bible.
You may. see something about Sole
mon Howell or John Johnson in the
Rlvesyille news.
When you want to peruse Longfe!
low or Shakespeare you can gel theil
sayings in book form from your Ii
brary, If not the librarian of Con
gress at Washington, D. c., will be
pleased to give information If he Is
anything like A. B. spofford used tc
be and II he isn't he ought to be.
There are some things closer home
that will need a little shaking up oil
reproducing in the future in the little
State which is bounded or surround
ed by Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia
Kentucky, and Maryland, which may
prove as interesting to the generality
of readers as some heap much biz
items.
1t might be best to just glance ovel
the Lone Stars items anyhow. Dom
look close, If you don't want to, any
body, everybody, but there's one thina
sure there are some people who have
the nerve TO ask the people to make
them rulers over the people and the
whole people Of a whole State with 8
half hundred counties or more. Anf
If they were put to the test they

means of words dramatically either
verbal or in writing, parliamentary OF
otherwise to introduce a county su
perintendent to a country school OF
school teacher and still they want tc
be big and their friends want every
body else to stand back and let then
root all the rest out and stretch out
lengthwlse in the trough themselves
and indeed there are thousands of vot
ers who see things in that way ant
one of them is the
LONE STAR.
