A LAME EXCUSE.

John w. Hodges, member of the
House of Delegates from Halifax coun-
ty, has written communication to the
South Boston News, in which he under
takes to explain why he voted for the
confirmation of Judge Rhea. Mr..
Hodges says: 81 stated when l cast
my vote that, personally, l was opposed
to confirmation, but from what 1 could
learn a majority of my people were in
favor of it; and, as representing them,
l voted for confirmation.
Mr.. Hodges then proceeds to saw:
while speaking of Judge Rhea. will
say | think it unfortunate that he was
appointed on the Corporation Commits
sion under the circumstances.
The South Boston News, commenting
on Mr.. Hodges statement, says:
Mr.. Hodges statement in the News
of this week in regard to his vote for
the confirmation of Judge Rhea is but
reiteration of what he stated when the
vote was taken.
lie states that the appointment of
Rhea was mistake. Why If mis-
take. why did he confirm" it bv his
vote? He certainly had no instructions
from his constituents as to how he
should vote upon the report. The few
who impOrtuned him to vote to confirm
the nomination were probably those who
spoke ''the language of the tribe" or
for some personal reason. While Mr..
Hodges thinks that the Governor made
a mistake in appointing Rhea, we are
equally as certain that Mr.. Hodges
made huge mistake in supposing that
he was expressing the wishes of his con-
stituents in voting for the confirmation.
Mr.. Hodges intimates that Rhea
should not be made to suffer for conuiv-
ing at frauds years ago. That was be-
fore the adoption of the new Constitu-
ton. But Rhea was charged with at
tempting to manipulate the Buchanan
county ballot in 1902.
The News has no quarrel with Mr..
Hodges. We doubt not that he did the
best he knew how with the lights before
him, but the lights were evidently
dim, and therefore in that particular
case his vote did not reflect the SEN
timent of his people"
We strongly suspect, as does the
South Boston News, that Mr.. Hodges
laid aside his conscientious convictions
at the behests of the chiefs of the
tribe" No doubt many others who
voted for Rhea's confirmation were
moved to do so by the same influence.
No intelligent man who gave a careful
and conscientious examination of the
evidence could have had honest faith in
Rhea's fitness for the very important
place he now holds.

Rheumatism Cure.
A well-known authority on Rheuma-
tism gives the readers of large New
ork daily paper the following valuable
yet simple and harmless, prescription
which any one can easily prepare at
Fluid Extract Dandelion. one-haIf
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce:
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking well in bottle. and
take teaspoonful after each meal and
at bedtime. '''''' anu
He states that the ingredients can be
OBTAINED from any good prescription
pharmacy at small cost and being of
take. "
ms pleasant mixture, if taken regu-
larry for few days, is said to overcome
almost any case of Rheumatism. The
pam and swelling, if any, diminishes
with each dose, until permanent results
are obtained. and without iniuring the
stomach. While there are many 80
called Rheumatism remedies. natent
medlcnes, etc, some of which do give
renei, Few really give permanent re-
suits, and the above will, no doubt be
greatly appreciated by many sufferers
here at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores of this
neigh6orhood elicits the information
that these drugs are harmless and can
DE bought separately, or the druggists
here will mix the prescription for our

WHAT HEARST WILL DO.

The friends and supporters of Mr.
Bryan have been hoping that w. R.
Hearst and his Independence League
would support Mr.. Bryan for President.
The Republicans have not looked for
nor asked for their support. There will,
therefore, be no disappointment for the
Republicans at the following which ap-
peared in a recent issue of the New
York American, which is owned by Mr..
Hearst, and is the organ of his League.
The American declares:
"First-The Independence party is
not going to support Theodore Roose-
welt.
'Second-The Independence party is
not going to support William J. Bryan.
''Third-The Independence party is
not going to support John A. johnson.
THE Independence party is going to
nominate its own candidate, and is go
log to vote for him with strength and
heartiness Of numbers that is likely
to be revelation to the older and sad
der political organizations. If it does
not elect this candidate of its own in
this particular election, it is going to
lay the solid foundation for doing so in
the next"
These declarations are calculated to
cause terror among the Bryanites. 1t
is an announcement that the large Pop
ulistic and Socialist element, which now
constitutes the chief force of the indie
pendence League, and the same element
that was solidly for Bryan in 1896, will
not support the Democratic candidate
in 1908. If the League continues to
occupy this attitude toward Bryan it
will destroy all possible hope he and his
friends may have for carrying what
they now call doubtful States, such as
New York, Massachusetts, Illinois and
California. In all these States Hearst
has large following.
If the platform recently adopted by
the Nebraska Democrats had declared
for Government ownership and for ini-
tiative and referendum the Hearst
crowd would possibly have supported !
Mr.. Bryan. But if that platform had
declared for those principles it would |
have driven all the conservative Demo-
Gratis from him. So, Mr.. Bryan had to
make his choice. He made it in the
Nebraska platform and the outcome
will be disastrous to him. i

COSTLY BOwlN6.


Last year We of Virginia could con-
tent ourselves by bowling to His Excel
lency, the Insurance Commissioner.
Now we will be obliged to bow to His
Excellency, the Health Commissioner.
and His Excellency, the Dairy and Food
commissioner. Soon we may be requir-
ed to bow to the House Commissioner.
the Cattle Commissioner, the Hog Com
missioner, the Sheep Commissioner. and
the Dog Commissioner. Staunton Spec
tator.
Our Stanton contemporary fails TO
mention His Excellency, the Fish Com
missioner, which was created for one of
the Jealous and blatant members of the
tribe, " with a salary of 81, 500. per an
mum, attached.
The Spectator in another editorial of
the same issue from which the above is
taken, under the head, More Good
Jobs, has this to say:
The Legislature is about to end its
work, and its day and generation shall
know it no more forever. When it
walks out of the halls where its work
was supposed to be done, it should. if it
merits 1T, hear from the people well
done thou good and faithful servants. :"
But We doubt if we ever hear those
words when the State wakes up to a
realization of what has happened. 1t is
Just little early to shower congratula-
lions on this body, though some of its
work can be commended. There is.
however, some which is of an extremely
doubtful character. We are again bless
ed with some new high salaried officials.
Each year that body meets new ones
are added to the list; and should this
epidemic continue, it will not be MANY
generations before every other man we
meet will be an official, with a salary
that will jolt the treasury every time it
comes in for payment.
This is pretty sarcastic hit made by
an ultra Democratic paper at the ma
chine controlled Legislature of Virginia.
1t evidences a conspiracy of a political
ring to extend its power by the creation
of new bureaus and by providing fat Of
fees for as many as possible of its
faithful strikers. OF course no one
but man who speaks the language
of the tribe" is appointed or elected to
the new Offices.
The people will remember that one of
the most urgent reasons assigned for
making new Constitution for Virginia
was to reduce the expenses of our State
Government. But under the new Con-
stitution the salaries of the State Off
GERS and of the judges have been in
creased from twenty-five to fifty per
cent, new departments have been ere
ated and new offices established, there
by making the expenses of the State
Government nearly double what they
were under the old Constitution.
The Hon. Eugene Withers, of Dan
vile, ought to look into this matter.
Our Democratic contemporaries should
also reproduce some of the very positive
statements they made as to what was
intended to be done in the way of giving
the people less expensive government.
