Every voter hss right know what

League associates have already exer-
cised that right, in the questions they
propounded TO Mr.. Tucker and T. Judge
Mann. Presumably they were satisfied
with the answers made by both gentle
men, or they would not have committed
themselves to the support of the nomi-
nee of the Democratic party by engag-
ing in the primary election which made
the nomination. Was it idle curiosity
which moved them to interrogate Can
tain Kent? If so, then CAPTAIN Kent
has administered just and proper re-
buke to them, which ought to remind
them that as men, they should put away
childish things. On the other hand, if
they were earnest and sincere in seek

ments, and with the perusal of these

Here has been useless expenditure
of $1,000 of the public revenue, sop
given by the Machine to Democratic
newspapers. There was so sense and
no reason for their publication in ten
papers every day for ninety days, and
a strained construction has to be given
to the constitutional provision to excuse
such publishing.
Besides, it has come to light that the
contract for publishing these amend
ments in the city of Richmond was
awarded to the News Leader on bid
which WAS 1908 20 in excess of the bid
made by the Richmond Journal. 1t
seems that Sc, 900 has been wasted by
the office-holders' trust in this matter,
certainly 1908 20 was thrown away by
the Clerk of the House of Delegates
when he accepted the bid of the News
Leader instead of the bid of the Journal.
We would like our readers to peruse
carefully the editorial we publish on this
page from the Richmond Journal. 1t
demonstrates clearly that this patron
age was distributed in such a way as to
furnish the newspapers most hostile to
the Machine and favor those most
friendly to it.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an Infismed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is infamed you have a
rumblIng sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness is the
result, and unless tue inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out OF ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an infamed condition of the mucous sur.
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of deafness (csused by catarrh)

tinuance Of IN. saloon? Was your no
sitiOn clesrly unders ood by The citizens
Of Wytheville? Did you vote in those
elections, If so, did yuu vote wet or
'dry'?"
The series of interrogstories pro-
pounded speak for themselves, and con-
vict the author of arrsnt hypocrisy.
Mr.. Kent's past record upon this qucs
tion has nothing whatever to do with
his present attitude, having no bearing
whatever upon his present convictions;
and it is perfectly evident that the only
purpose in mind in asking them. was
that of betraying Mr.. Kent into the
hands of the party to which Mr.. Atkins
and the Anti-Saloon League stand COM
mitted.
The voters of Virginia, regardless of
their views upon the momentous ques-
ton of State wide prohibition, we do
not believe will countenance any such
methods. 1t remains for the political
parties to play the game of politics; and
when made the resort of an organiza-
ton whose motto is "fair play" oppo-
sition to double-dealing, and political
chicanery, and in favor of the square
deal' at the polls, the conviction will
obtain that the robe of righteousness
has been abandoned in favor of these
questionable methods.
Mr.. Kent's answer is a manly one.
and the publication broadcast will carry
conviction to many that he is capable of
measuring up to gubernatorial require
ments. That he should be made the
victim of palpably "flim-fam" game
OF powerful organization which stands
for civic Righteousness, will create in
his favor a sympathy that will be far
reaching. and which will assuredly react
against the organization that stoops to
peanut politics" for promoting the in
terests Of the candidate of the party
which the organization espouses.

That was a solar plexus blow which
Candidate Kent delivered to Rev. H. p.
Atkins, president of the Anti-Saloon
League of Virginia, when he denied
that gentleman's right to catechise him
on the liquor question in the name of an
organization majority of whose mem
bers were already pledged to vote
against him by reason of their partici-
patton in the recent Democratic pri-
mary. There was neither significance
nor consistency, under the circum-
stances, in propounding these questions,
for no matter what Captain Kent might
say in reply, it would not and could not
avail anything in his behalf so far as
the votes of the members of the Anti
Saloon League were concerned. They
are men of honor and gentlemen of
their word, and are explicitly bound by
the pledge they took in the primary to

payers to pay for keeping Giles county
in line for the Machine. Governor
Swanson claims to be lawyer of ability
and boasts that his party and admins
tration have done nothing wrong in the
disbursement of the revenues. But in
this instance a Democratic Machine
Legislature passed an unconstitutional
salary grab act and the Machine Cover
nor promptly approved the same.
We are informed that John W. Will
liams, Clerk of the House of Delegates,
is local attorney for the Norfolk and
Western Railway in Giles county and
rides on free pass in violation of Sec
ton 161 of the Constitution. Judge
Mann was constrained by public senti-
ment to resign as local attorney for this
same railway when he was a member of
the State Senate. But here is an of
ficer of one house of the Leg stature,
who can exercise great influence in leg
islation, acting as attorney for corpo-
ration, accepts favors from it and is
made special fsvorite in the way of
increased salary by Democratic Legis-
lature and Democratic Machine Cover
nor.
What will the taxpayers, Democrats
and Republicans, think of this?

EXAMINERS OF RECORDS.

In the Bill of Particulars we filed last
week we mentioned the waste that has
been going on under Democratic admin
istrations in Virginia through the crea-
ton and continuance of the office of Ex-
aminer of Records. At that time we
didn't know the number of these officers
on the payroll of the State. We have
come across the last message of Cover
nor Montague, sent to the General As
sembly of Virginia on January 10, 1906,
and we publish the following paragraph
from that message:
THE assessment of revenue is a deli
cate and difficult task under any form
of government; but manifestly the sim
plest machinery for this work is prefer
able. Some years since the State Gre
ated officials called examiners of rec
ord, and ode of whom in each judicial
circuit must make assessments of all
monies, bonds, notes, stocks and every
species of personal property under the
control of the court, as well as all
water-craft over five tons burden. After
making these valuations the examiners
of record report them to the commits
sioners Of revenue, who make extension
thereof upon their books, the State pay
ing commissions to both sets Of officials.
There Is hardly any class of property
less difficult to reach and assess than
that in question, and the fact that the
State should have paid to these exam
iners of record alone the large sum of
one hundred and eighty-two thousand,
seven hundred and seventy dollars
($182, ITO CD and sixty-seven cents in
the past ten years for work which could
have been done by the commissioners Of
revenue, who are also paid the regular
fees for extending these valuations, is a
great wrong upon her taxpayers. l,
therefore, advise the abolition of this
new and unnecessary Office and the i'm
position of its duties upon the commits
sioners of revenue with rigid account
ability of service"

Mr. Kent Scores.
Roanoke Times, Democratic.

Roanoke Times, Democratic.
The Republicans of Virginia can not
be alone in their commentator of Mr..
Kent's mastery response to President
Henry Pearce Atkins, of the Anti-Sa-
loon League of Virginia, demanding
that Mr.. Kent declare his attitude to-
wards the cause of Statewide prohibi-
ton. Every Democrat as we'll as every
independent thinker, which must in
clude many of the rank and file of the
prohibition movement in the State,
must concede that Mr.. Kent has effect
ually disposed of Mr.. Atkins, at the
same time creating for himself a status
upon this momentous question that will
be eminently satisfactory to the voters
of Virginia.
In the first place, what right has Mr..
Atkins as president of the Anti-Saloon
League, an organization which, as Mr..
Kent discloses, is intensely partizan and
lined up in favor of the Democratic
nominee, to demand of Mr.. Kent that
he declare his personal views and con-
victions? Waving the assertion that
he is exceeding his authority,-is it not
patent to any reasonable mind that the
only purpose in thus attempting to ex-
tort from Mr.. Kent an expression, is
for the single purpose of making polite
al capital of it, to be used in furtherinR
the candidacy of the Democratic nomi-
nee?
Note the astute demands:
Sixth. Should an election be held on
the question of Statewide prohibition,
in such an election would you vote

Concerning your past record on the
liquor question, we desire information
on the following points:
First. AS citizen of the State of
Virginia, what has been your attitude
toward the liquor question? Has your
personal influence been favorable to or
opposed to the saloon? Have you ever
made any speeches, written any ar
ticles, or personally appealed to the
voters either for or against the saloonf

where "a single dollar of the revenue
has been wasted by Democratic admin
istrations. Upon the testimony Of
that sterling Democrat, Ex-Governor
Montague, we show that in the ten
years previous to 1906 the sum of 1882
77O.67 was thrown away-wasted to
feed hungry Democratic office-holders:
and the records show that in the three
years that have passed since 1905 at
least $50, 900 more has been wasted upon
them, grand total of more than S24O.
600. Will the News Leader call this a
trivial matter or insignificant sum?
or course the Machine Legislature to
which Governor Montague addressed
the suggestion paid no attention to it.
He, perhaps, believed that the pro-
claimed purpose for making a new con-
stitution to decrease the number of Of
fce-holders and the expenses of govern
ment was pledge made in good faith.
He has lived to realize that the Office
holders trust instead of decreasing has
greatly added to the number of officers
and more than doubled the expenses of
the government. What do the Machine
office-holders care about the waste of
the public revenue further than to have
it put into their pockets?

AMENDMENTS TO THE CONSTITUTION.

The Constitution of Virginia provides
as follows for future changes in the
Constitution
''Sec. 1856. Any amendment or amend
ments to the Constitution may be pro-
posed IN the Senate or House of Dele
gates, and if the same shall be agreed
to by majority of the members elected
to each of the two houses, such pro-
posed amendment or amendments shall
be entered on their Journals, with the
ayes and noes taken thereon and refer
red to the General Assembly at its first
regular session held after the next gen
eral election of the House of Delegates,
and shall be published for three months pre-
cious to the time of such election"
At the last session of the General As
semblY Q9Os) three amendments to the
Constitution were proposed and agreed
to, and are now being published in ten
daily papers in the Commonwealth
This is being done under an Act of the
General Assembly approved February
8, 1908, which Act directs the Clerk of
the House of Delegates to publish the
amendments, for the time prescribed by
the Constitution, in at least one daily
newspaper published in each city of the
first class in the State. Acting under
this authority the Clerk of the House of
Delegates awarded the publication to
the following newspapers and at the
prices named:
Richmond News Leader, 81. 120; Nor
folk Landmark, 1921. go; Danville Regis

Newport News Times-Herald, 1865. o.;
Portsmouth Star, $341.2S, a total ex-
penditure for publication amounting to
Sc, 1904.
The making of the new constitution
cost the taxpayers not less than half a
million dollars; and this new constitu-
ton has doubled the expenses of the
State government and increased the
army of office-holders. 1t looks like
large sums will be expended to correct
the many imperfections of this consti-
tuition.
We would like to know if the provi-
sion in Section 1876 Of the Constitution
for the publication of amendments war
rants the action of the Legislature, di-
recting how they shall be published,
that is, in daily paper in each of ten
cities in the State. The Richmond Jour.
