Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1909-09-16

1t is true that 1.-THE books and records
of the State are public documents, but
Republicans cannot secure access there
to except when officially authorized to
reach them. They were even refused
access to registration lists until they
carried the matter into the courts, and
the Supreme Court of Appeals, if we
mistake not, held that those lists were
private property and could not be copied
except by registrars, thus making sc-
cess to them difficult and expensive.
1t is also true that Republican men,
bers of the Legislature can call for in
vestigating committees, but what would
that accomplish in the way of securing
information desired? AS we have be-
fore stated, there have been legislative
committees of investigation called for
by both Democrats and Republicans.
and in each instance the committees
have been appointed solidly from the
Democratic members. Does this look
like the Republicans have been and will
be furnished any opportunity to make
Investigations on suspicion?
Look at the Rhea investigation. 1t
came at the instance of Republican
members of the State Senate. The
membership of the committee that made
the investigation was composed entirely
of Democrats and was so arranged as to
have Judge Mann and other partisan
friends of Rhea dominate the commit
tee. Democrats and Republicans alike
know that the effort of the committee
was to suppress rather than reveal the
facts during the investigation. We will
reiterste: The department of education
was investigated, the department of
agriculture was investigated, the cor
poration commission was investigated,
and Rhea was investigated, by Demo
Gratis and friends. The result was that
where some little fellow could be found
to punish he was pounced upon, and the
white-wash brush was then applied.
At the session of the legislature in
1904, at the instance of Republicans, a
bill was passed directing the Attorney
General to institute legal proceedings to
recover money that had been stolen
from the Auditors Office and to ascer-
tain what amount had been stolen.
Have the proceedings ever been insti-
tuted?
Our contemporary cannot be entirely
ignorant of these facts, but we hope it
has been, for nothing else can excuse its
failure to admit them, unless it desires
to put itself in line as defender of the
Democratic Machine in its policy of con.
cealment.

A GARRULOUS CONTEMPORARY

The Richmond News Leader is very
much disturbed about 1.-The bad fix" in
which the Virginia Republicans are
placed because of their supposed inabil-
ity to prove that the Democratic ad-
ministrations have been, as the News
Leader puts it, UNANIMOUSLY corrupt and
wildly extravagant. Our Richmond
contemporary has published long edi-
torial of mingled sympathy and derision
about the matter, and speaks of the
Republicans as Poor Things" These
remarks of the News Leader are pro-
voked by what the Tazewell Republican
has been saying about Democratic ex-
travagance; aud our contemporary re-
marks:
THE truth is the books and records
of the State, and are public documents.
Financial statements and reports are
printed and widely circulated every
year. Every Republican member of the
Legislature has access to the accounts
and to the Intervals of the State opera
tions, and may call for a committee of
investigation whenever he sees any
thing suspicious.
The Republican says that if the Re
publicans could bring to public view
the accounts and transactions IN the
capitol they could tell from the records
how little good has been done by such
departments as insurance, agriculture
and labor, health, fish and oysters and
roads and also inquire into the depart
ment of education and the corporation
commission.
The News Leader then says:
1--WE hope our Tazewell contemporary
is ignorant because only ignorance can
excuse its failure to mention that each
of these departments it has named, and
every other department, sends in an
nually detailed statement of its re-
ceipts and expenditures and operations,
to be scanned by the Legislature and
the people"
We most heartily appreciate the sym
pathy our Richmond contemporary ex-
presses for our ignorance; and plead
guilty to having no knowledge of the
accuracy of the details made in the re-
ports by the various departments men
toned. And we would ask if these re-
ports are so thoroughly accurate, why
has it been found necessary to have
committees to investigate the transac-
tions of the department of agriculture,
the department of education, the cor
poration commission and even the audi
tors office? Does not the News Leader
recall that these investigations were
made, or will it shelter behind plea
of ignorance to excuse its charge that,
E'the Republicans in Virginia are in the
position of sore-headed and unhappy
critics who can find nothing definite to
criticise and who try to appeal to unrest
and narrowness and moss-back ignor-
ance with vague suggestions Of evil
doing. They charge extravaganza and
fail to show where a dollar has been
wasted or misapplied."
In our issue of the 9th instant we gave
our Richmond contemporary some spe-
cifc information as to the extravaganza
and wastefulness of Democratic admin
istrations; and in the present issue we
will give it more items

A CLEVER RECTOR.
How He Got All the Young Men to
 Church on Sunday.

How He Got All the Young Men to
 Church on Sunday.
 Many interesting stories are told of Bishop Wilmer of Alabama, who was noted for his wit and sharp repartee," said q clergyman. "A story which is considered characteristic of the man was told by Virginia minister:
 "'When Bishop Winner was rector of the little Protestant Episcopal church at Upperville, Va, he was much worried by the nonattendance at service Oh Sundays of the majority of the young men of the community. On inquiry he found that instead of going to church they were in the habit of playing marbles for stakes. Marbles in those days, it must be remembered, was much more serious game than it is now, occupying much the same position in the realm of sports as do billiards and pool in these days.
 Bishop Wilmer, then a parson not well known, determined to break up this practice. He himself had been an expert marble player in his boyhood. Accordingly one Saturday he came across a number of the young men engaged in a game. The good bishop asked several questions and finally challenged the lot to play him for Keeps" They readily consented.
 Much to their astonishment, the young minister won steadily, and soon they had to go to the stores to replen- ish their stock. Toward the close of the a ctsrnoon MT. Wilmer had won every marble in the town of Upper vile. Putting his winnings" in a bag, he remarked as he walked away, 'sNow, gentlemen, since you can't play marbles tomorrow I hope to see you all, at church." And he did, "-Wash- ington Herald.

The New Kind.

Among the passengers in parlor car attached to southern train leav- ing Washington were a reticent ipdi vidual desirous of reading his paper and talkative person equally desirous of engaging the reserved one in cor versation. At first the reticent man took the questions of his neighbor in good part, returning short but polite answers. Finally, however, he grew somewhat irritated at the persistence of the other.
 ''The grass is quite green, ehY' was the idle query that next came from the garrulous one as he gazed through the window.
 "Quite" said the bored one, with g smothered growl. "But, then, consider what change it is from the pink and mauve grass we've been having late ly!"-Harpers Weekly.

SERVED THE TERRAIN.

Crossed the Ocean to Supervise One
 Course of Dinner.
 George W. Harvey, the inventor of steamed oysters and famous restau- rant keeper, was once the hero of an incident that in some respects made the exploits of Lucullus and other noted gourmets of ancient Rome look cheap and commonplace. He made a 5000 mile journey to cook or supervise the cooking of single course of din ner.
 A wealthy Englishman noted for his love of good living while on a visit to Washington was given a dinner at Harvey's, at which terrapin formed the piece de resistance. It was the first time the Englishman had encountered the famous Maryland delicacy, and it made an instantaneous and profound would introduce the dish to his London friends and at once entered into nego- tiattons with Harvey to come to Lon don and do the cooking.
 Harvey named his price, and it was accepted without murmur, although it was a stiff one, as he was a very portly man and did not like to travel. At the appointed time he engaged his passage for England, took a sufficient number of live terrapin along with him and sailed for London. He super yised the preparation of the turtles in the kitchen of his generous employer, saw that they were cooked and served properly, collected his f2OO honorarium and hfS oxppnseo and too1 tha naHt steamer back to New York.-Exchange
