Mr.. Byars' Shame full Mistake.

Every candidate makes some mistakes.
but some candidates makes worse mis-
takes than others. The Hon. J. Cloyd
Byars, in a degree inexperienced in
politics, and not always using the best
of judgment, has made blunder which,
if nothing else were to be considered,
should cost him the prize for which he
has been zealously striving.
He is now mailing to the people of the
Ninth Virginia District thousands of
copies of an irresponsible and petty cir
cular, which seeks to leave the impress
sion that William Howard Taft, a man
of the highest Christian spirit, is an
atheist.
This subject was broached early In
the campaign. Right there and then
the intelligent editors and church people
condemned it as a matter unfit to be
considered. Great church bodies, the
country over, including Young Mems
Christian Associations, are giving Mr..
Taft the most cordial endorsement be-
cause of his broad views with reference
to the work of the church, especially in
its relation to reclaming heather lands
from the darkness of superstition. No
predetermined man religiously is today
prominently before the American people
than William Howard Taft.
Yet in the face Of the most positive
condemnation of nefarious methods of
attack upon Mr.. Taft's religion, a con-
demnation extending alike to writers
and churchmen, Mr.. Byars presumes
that the people of the Ninth Virginia
district are 80 shamefully ignorant and
unbalanced in their views as to take
heed to irresponsible literature-litera-
ture which did not dare seek a place in the
great journals and periodicals of the day
for the reason that it has been fiatly re-
buked by all right thinking men.
We hardly know what to say of Mr..
Byars under the circumstances. Some
times we are inclined to feel sorry for
him. But, when we think of it in the
common-sense light, he is not deserving
pity.

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

Bryan says he sees sweeping victo-
ry for himself next Tuesday. He sees
it only in his dreams.
Let every Republican in the Ninth
District do his duty next Tuesday. Vote
for Taft and Slemp and work for them
until the polls close.
If Democrat offers you one of those
vile circulars that the Byars' bureau is
sending out, look down and see if he
who offers it to you hasn't cloven
foot.
The Republicans are going to win
another great victory in the Ninth Dis
trict on next Tuesday. You should en-
joy the glory of helping to win that VIC
tory.
Have you received any of the vile.
slanderous literature that the Byars
bureau is sending out? If any man
hands the vile stuff to you insult him, if
that be possible.
We hear that many Democrats are
expressing their disgust over the con-
duct of Mr.. Byars for sending out that
scandalous literature. Some of those
who received it burnt it up. The right
thing to do. Fire was its proper home,
and will be the home of those who ars

INSULT TO OLD SOLDIERS.

There recently appeared in the col
umns of the Clinch Valley News q
communication headed 1.-THE Old Sold
iers." 1t was contributed by some one
who signed himself "Son of A Soldier. 4"
This communication was reprinted in
the Lebanon News and has been sent to
Us by an old Confederate soldier in Rus
sell county, with the request that we
give it some notice. 1t had before es-
capped our attention. The euthor of the
communication must be very stupid, or
he never would have written such stuff,
and no newspaper that claims to be
half way decent ought ever to have
published it. Here is what it says in
part:
at is currently reported and seems
to be generally believed, that all, or
nearly all, the old soldiers in the county
are strong supporters of the Republi-
can ticket. Is this true? If so, am
surprised, and ashamed of the old sold
iers. The idea of an old Confederate
soldier who fought under Lee and Jack
son through the war to get down in
their old days and lick the hands of
their enemies, is disgusting in the ex-
treme. Particularly is that 80 when it
is remembered that these same soldiers
are being supported wholly or in part
by pension money given them by a
Democratic State Government. If they
are going to support the Republicans
let them give up their pensions. To ac-
cept the money of a Democratic ad-
ministration, support themselves and
families this way and then turn around
and vote against this same government,
which puts bread and meat in their
mouths, is base ingratitude and borders
on treason. Or can it be true, as is
sometimes said, that they are generally
up for sale at elections, and thus make
it pay both wsys?"
Was anything coarser or more
insulting ever written about the poor

and am now 81 years old, and in all nv
experience have never seen anvtbino
but disaster to the workingman under
free trade laws. 1t cannot be otherwise.
Manufacturing people will not operate
their works unless they can r. AXE money.
That Is what they are in business for.
and they can no more make .oney under
free trade than we can liz without
work, so that our interests are mutual
If the companies that employ us can
make money, then they need us and nav
US good wages for work. That is history
that cannot be controverted by any ar

make money they hunt US, When thew
cannot then we are to hunt them. That
is plain as day and night to us working

Now,We cannot expect any railroad or
manufacturing company to operate their

They cannot keep up expenses otherwise.
and, as l said, they are in business for
profits just as we are in working fo,
them. 1t is to us bread and butter and

They cannot run on wind, any more
than we can live on wind, and without
money the grocer will not trust US. 1t
is, then, to our interest, to vote such
laws as will help these big railroads and
manufacturing plants to earn money. If
they can do this, then they want US; if
they cannot do it, then they do not want
US, and we must go hungry and see our

FOREIGN MISSION
SECRETARYF FOR TAFT
ReY. Dr.. Homer C. Stuntz LaudS The
Republican Nominee and Tells
Why he Shall Vote for Him.

New York, Oct. 26.-The Rev. DR..
Homer c. Stuntz, first assistant secre-
tary of the board of foreign missions of
the Methodist Episcopal church who
spent several years in the PHILIPPINES
when Taft was there, and and who has
written book entitled ''The Philippines
and the Far East, has announced his
intention to vote for the republican can
oidate for president. He is supporting
Judge Taft's candidacy heartily. and
when seen today spoke al ut the fair
ness which Taft had sho to all re-
llgious sects in the Philippine.
Il was in the Philippines" said DR..
Stuntz, "as superintendent of missions
Of the Methodist church from April 1901
almost all the time until December. 1906
During that time I had ample oppor-
tunity to observe the laws passed bv the
commission, Of which Governor Taft was
the head, and the administration of the
Philippines under the civil commission
In preparation for my book on The
Philippines and the Far East l was
given access by Judge Taft to any and
all documents which wished to see. and
thus 1 had unusual opportunities for
securing frst-hand information as to the
legislative and administrative work
which was carried forward in the
islands during that period.
while we, as Protestant ministers
differed with Judge Taft on manv oues-
tions and were compelled to oppose him
and the commission in certain legislation
which was proposed, I am clearly con-
vinced that Mr.. Taft himself did all that
could be reasonably expected of him in
his attempts to be entirley fair as be-
tween the different commercial and re-
llglous parties with which he had to deal.
Il have looked the ground over thor
oughly, and have conclued that he will

old veterans who gave years of the best
part of their lives to the service of a
cause in which very few of them had
any material interests. Is their fidelity
to duty to be rewarded by insults from
one who dares to sign himself "Son of
a Soldier?" If the father of this son
was true soldier he should blush for
shame for this simple son. And
the Democrats of proper refinement
and intelligence should be ashamed of
such a champion.
One would think from the reasoning
Of this fellow that pensions were grant
ed to Confederate soldiers to bribe
them to vote the Democratic ticket,
and not as a reward for faithful service
to the State when it formed part of
the Confederacy. Does the acceptance
OF the pension money bind their politi-

ture that would so insist. He brands
them traitors because they are not
Democrats, and closes his gross and
coarse insult by saying that the poor
old Confederate soldiers in Tazewell
county sell their votes. If he is the son
of a Confederate soldier he is an un-
worthy son, if his father was a worthy
soldier. We take it that no true man,
especially a true Confederate soldier,
will tolerate the conduct of the person
who has been guilty of this outrage
upon the Confederate soldiers who
choose to be Republicans. There are
many of them who are still strong
enough to mash his mouth if he would
speak to their faces what he has pub
lished about them in Democratic papers,
and they would do it too.

Lost and the most wonderful poet of all
the centuries: and Sir Isaac Newton,
the greatest mathematician and natural
philosopher of his own or any age. Will
any intelligent Christian man who be-
longs to what is known as orthodox pro-
testism say that Locke, Milton and
Newton were not Christians, and that
they were infdels, because they did not
subscribe to the Athanasian creed?
The Unitarians believe in God the
Father, God the Son, and the Holy Spirit;
but they do not believe in the oneness
OF God the Father and God the Son, as
taught and believed by Athanasius.
The doctrine of the Trinity is
one of the highest and the most
mysterious doctrines of the Christian
religion. Melanchthon, the most faith
full and capable co-worker of Martin
Luther in the Reformation, speaking Of
the doctrine of the Trinity, declared it
was better to reverence than to inquire
into it. Shall a good and pure man,
who believes in Christ and lives up to
his teachings be called an infidel, an un-
believer, because he has not the same
peculiar belief that others have in re-
gard to the relationship of Christ to tho
Father?

hr. Stuart at TszeweIl.

On Tuesday Hon. H. c. Stuart ad-
dressed large crowd in the court house
at this place in behalf of Bryan and
byars- The Democrats from all parts
Oh the county had come to hear him.
and there were about four hundred. in
cluding a number of ladies'.
Mr.. Stuart is not an orator. His
voice IS weak, and he talks in his throat.
he discussed the tariff, Capitalization.
the guarantee of bank deposits and the
kindred questions upon which Demo
Gratis usually talk to amuse themselves.
Mr. Stuart, while assailing the present
protective tariff, did not tel his audi
enco how he and all the farmers of the
country had suffered under Democrat
&c tariff, nor how he and many of the
audience had grown rich under Re-
publican tariff. He told them if a re7-
enue tariff was established more fac
tories would be built, there would be a
greater demand for manufactured
goods, there would be more mouths to
feed and more demand for farm pro-
ducts. We wonder if Mr.. Stuart and
his audience of Democratic farmers re-
called the conditions of twelve wears
ago. They were the very reverse of
what Mr.. Stuart said a Democratic
tariff law would bring.
Mr.. Stuart depicted the dangers of a
centralized form of government and at
the same time was advocating the cleo
tiOn of William Jennings BRYAN. the
most ultra centrslizer this country has
ever produced.
Mr.. Stuart didn't say anything about
Shall the People Ruler" He remem-
bered how he and others had made a
new constitution for Virginia which has
disfranchised two-thirds of the white
voters in the State and made it impos-
sible for the people to rule. Mr.. Stuart
steered clear of state questions, and we
don't blame him. They don't show up
well for him and his party.
His speech was clean, and was con-
vincing to his Democratic hearers; but
he spoke as one whose heart was not
thoroughly enlisted in the cause of Bry-
anism. We suspect that Mr.. Stuart ia
one of those who will vote for BRYAN
and pray for Taft's election.

history that the first tariff laws ever in-
augurated in America were placed On

istration as president of the United
States, so that when these Office hunters
are shooting off their oratory on us about
the tariff and trusts, just ask them %

they would have it.
1t is right up to the workingrnan now
to know that if HE vote is against the

cannot expect that man to employ him.

The Typographical Unions of Indiana
and other states are forwarding resolu-
tions to William Jennings Bryan, de-
manding that the union label be placed
on his publication, "The Commoner. &"
In many instances the resolutions state
that, unless the demand is complied
with copies of the paper which are re-
ceived by union subscribers will be re-
turned to the Commoner office at Lin
coin, Neb., in their original wrappers.
The printers feel that so long as Bryan
processes to be friend Of the unions he
should see to it that his publishers fell

aid on last Sunday gave Mr.. Taft 28O
electoral votes, certain, or 3S more than
enough to elect him. The Cincinnati
Enquirer made precisely the same fore
cast; and there is not single well in
formed newspaper that now claims
there is any chance for Mr.. Bryan to be
elected.
Two great armies will contend for
supremacy in American politics next
Tuesday. The Republican army will be
led by General Prosperity. The Demo-
cratic army will be commanded by Cen
eral Adversely. Which army will you
march and fight with?
The Democratic platform advocates
putting lumber and logs on the free list.
Is that what the people of Buchanan
want? Mr.. Byars stands on the Demo
cratic platform. Will the people of
Buchanan county vote for Byars and
against their most important industry?
The men who are circulating the
vicious campaign literature have been
educated in the school of Rheaism. This
means that if these men have the
chance they will tamper with ballots
and election returns. 1t will be well
for Republicans to be on guard at every
precinct next Tuesday.
Mr.. Byars asks Republicans, in his
address, to lay aside prejudice and pas
sion and vote for him. And then he
sends out vile, slanderous literature to
Republicans to arouse their religious
prejudices, hoping that it will cause
them to vote for him. He arouses their
contempt and they will vote solidly
against him.
Mr.. Byars gave out statement two
days before the special election last De-
cember in which he said his father-in-
law, Mr.. Bailey, would receive 1000
majority in the Ninth District over
Bascom Slemp. We wonder if he will
make predictions about the results next
Tuesday? Slemp's majority over Byars
will be as large as any Republican has
ever received in the district.
The Constitution requires that the
ballot box be kept in public view all the
time an election is in progress. See
that this requirement is fully complied
with at each precinct in the district.
Take no excuse from judges who wish
to put it where it cannot be seen all the
time by the public. Judges who insist
on not complying with the constitutional
requirement will not do to trust.
