A Christmas Gift which will
Last A Lifetime.

Parents, while thinking of a suitable
Christmas gift for your children, have
you ever considered the value of one
that will last a lifetime and increase in
value as the years go by? Can you
think of a present that will give more
joy, and happiness, and contentment,
and satisfaction, than one which will
assure your boy or girl a good living,
self-support, Observation-Disclosures
The opportunity of presenting your
boy or girl with such Christmas gift
is offered you by the Dunsmore Busi-
ness College. No more useful or valu-
able present could be given a boy or
girl than business training course at
the ''Dunsmore 1t will never be for
gotten, it will never wear. out and it
cannot be lost or stolen. Its usefulness
and value will increase with use, and
it will make each succeeding Christ
mas brighter than the last by reason of
the increased blessings it will bring.
Such gift only commences on Christ
mas. 1t continues year after year
bringing success to the receiver.

doubtless taking his Initiative from the
commissioning, is doing all he
can to make the rank of the Army
more Efficient. He is encountering op-
position, as might be expected. Many
army officers between the ages of 40
and oO, some of them younger and
some OF them older, are unfit for SER
vice and they are, of course, recalci-
trant against the recent order for test
marches on foot and on horseback. 1t
is the object of the President to elimin-
ate these knock-kneed, pot-bellied old
fellows from the Army. He doubtless
remembers the great mass of flesh that
was sent TO command the Army in
Cuba, and who spent his time on his
back groaning with heat, govt and
obesity during the active operations
that preceded the capture of Santiago.

REPUBLICANS GETTING BUSY

The Republicans of Virginia are
hunting around for new material for a
gubernatorial candidate. Noel of the
Southwest, is not on the list, though
he made splash when he began on
Judge Rhea III his attempt to defeat
him for the Corporation Commission.
Slemp from that quarter is mentioned,
and Alva II. Martin of Norfolk is also
mentioned. These about end the list.
The last Republican flasco is yet fresh
in the memory Of us all, but then the
Taft Democrats were not 80 plentiful
as now. If the glories of National Re
publicanism could be shed on State
Republicanism, and we see no reason
why they should not be, Virginia
ought to go Republican through and
through, and negroes here as in West
Virginia be made not the equals, but
the superiors of the whites. For heav-
ems sake let's try it.

Married in Texas.

The Richmond Times Dispatch of
the 18th inst, in dispatch from Fort
Worth, Lex, says: A Staunton, Va,
couple, Nj. S. Wright and Miss Bess
Adams, were married at high noon by
Rev. William Caldwell, pastor of First
Presbyterian Church, and are en- route
to Alvarado, Tex, where they will
probably reside. The bride came to
Alvarado from Virginia several months
ago to visit her cousins, Mr.. and Mrs.
Dick Mallicote The groom did not
reach Texas until few hours before
the wedding.

Mr.. Taft's play to the South has nc

Mr.. Taft's play to the South has not
a new word or idea in it. Many
Southern men have joined the Repub-
lican party for office, or in the hope of
it. John S. Wise long ago called them
apostates for the price of their aposta-
cy. This avenue has always been open.
Any one who wants to travel it can do
SO, and any "Taft Democrat" can, as
Judge Duke said in speech here dur
ing the campaign, give more character
to that lying misnomer by going into
the fold than by staying out.

CARNEGIE AND THE TARIFF.

Mr.. Carnegie's testimony before the
congressional committee at Washing
ton that is investigating the tariff, was
perhaps the most talksd-of event of the
week. Mr.. Carnegie appeared before
the committee on Monday, and as
much was made as possible by those
who were trying to depress the stock
market out Of his declarations on tariff
matter. After a little time, Wall street,
with its usual sagacity, saw the whole
matter in its true light as a hippo
drome performance. Mr.. Carnegie did
not attempt to substantiate his asser-
lions with facts or figures in any way,
and his utterances became incense
quential beside the less dramatic but
more substantial words of men who
really know something about the iron
and steel business.
The above is from the Wall street
correspondent of an influential news
paper. This tells the true tale, this
demonstrates that even steel manufac-
turers, indeed the great steel trust will
be further protected in public robbery
The fact that Mr.. Carnegie did not pro-
duce figures to substantiate his state
ments is absolutely so absurd as to
become joke. That Mr.. Carnegie
should make any statement regarding
tariff on steel that would be incense
queptial is likewise absurd. Mr.. Car
negie, who has been steel manufac-
turer all his life, knows more about it
than any other man in America, to be
called on for figures to substantiate his
statements would be a hippodrome per-
formance indeed. The people cannot be
bamboozled by any such stuff, but
there will be no reduction of tariff du-
ties calculated to do the people any
good. This has been known from the
start. These people would not believe
though one rose from the dead.

NEW PROTECTION RUSE.

The new scheme of the pretectionist
is to protect all industries which are
called on to compete with foreign Ia
Dor. If there be any product manufac-
tured here that is not manufactured
abroad, that will need no protection, if
a similar article to the one manufac-
tured here is manufactured abroad,
then that product must be protected.
The microscope will not discover any
industries or products that will not
need the sheltering wing of the tariff
cormorant.

ISy i'll many respects, may compare
Is the molehill to the mountain, so if
the mountain was assailed the mole
hill may crumble under the heel of
popular contempt, and he may regret
before the last is written or said, that
the Buck Stove Co. ever existed as
SCOT maker, and especially that any of
its SCOT was said to have touched his
own judicial ermine. When men like
Wendell Philips could denounce the
constition as "a league with hell, "and
be supported by millions, and Abra-
ham Lincoln and Charles Sumner
could damn decision of the Supreme
Court of the United States before
shouting multitudes, this PUIsNE
judge will find that with all his EN-
PRESsMENT and learned citation of au-
thorities, that he has convinced few
persons beyond the corporations of
either the wisdom OF the business of
these sentences. He has hit capital
huge blow, he has broken the neck of
the Buck Range Co., he has not exalt-
ed respect for courts, and he may have
paved the way for many outrages.
Certainly this court will never be able
to explain why this sentence was not
administered before the election, and
in not explaining the public will draw
various conclusions, not always to its
credit. Some may go so far as to call
it cowardly partisanism. For ourselves
we will give it the benefit of the doubt.

Commissioned from Ranks.
WASHINGTON, November 27--As
the result of competitive examination
the following enlisted men have been
appointed second lieutenants in the
field artillery arm of the Army: Sergt.
Frank A. Turner, Troop L, Second Cav
airy; Squadron Sergt Maj. George
G. Seaman, Second Cavalry, Sergt.
Charles c. Reynolds, Troop l., Eleventh
Cavalry, and private Armine w. Smith,
Troop H, Fifteenth Cavalry. Those
appointed to the infantry arm were:
Sergeant McGrath, Company I, Ninth
Infantry; Sergt Cornety II. Hodges,
Company L, Seventh Infantry; Sergt.
Rollo C. Ditto, 166th Company, Coast
Artillery Corps, and Sergl. Samuel
S. Stribling, Twentieth Infantry.
New Ration Satisfactory.
The new army ration appears to be
giving general satisfaction, according
to reports received by General Sharpe,
commissary general of subsistence The
chief commissary of the department of
the East says that from the absence
of criticism, complaint or even sug
gestion, it is a safe assumption that
the ration is satisfactory in kind, guam
tity and variety to the trops. He adds
that the liberal savings made on some
of the eomponents at nearly all posts,
especially in the articles of lard, sirups,
spices and havoring extracts, indicate
that the allowance of these is gener-
Gus perhaps to an unnecessary degree.
In his opinion the time has not yet ar
rived for thorough and decisive test
of the merits of the new ration regard
ed from an economic point of view, but
that another year s experience may fur
nish an answer to many queries now
hard to satisfy. It is the intention
during the present winter and coming
spring to send all commissaries a circu-
lar letter asking report covering such
matter as is now debatable, the result
of which will be stated in the next
annual report.
