THAT COMBINATION.

Since so much has been said about
that Combination by Mr.. c. t.
Jordan, the leader of the prohibition
movement in Staunton, with RepubIi-
can leaders in the fall of 1907, the
direct and only object of which was
to defeat the regular Democratic nomi-
nee for the Legislature, and as there
has been confusion of ideas, and more
or less denial on this subject, certain
parties have been probing into the
matter and have given out the follow
ing facts, which they are ready and
willing to make good in all particulars.
The Combination was made with Mr..
Jordon; the place of meeting and the
time are known, and the names of
every party present is known and can
be given, and with the exception posi-
bly, of one other Democrat besides Mr..
Jordan, all present were at that time,
and are now, staunch Republicans We
hope this will forever set at rest this
veXed question.

DISTINCTION WITHOUT A
DIFFERENCE

The Rev. Mr.. Wood ward, of Clifton
Forge, referred to the SPECTATOR in
his address here on Friday night last.
He did it in such pleasant manner
that it gives US pleasure to recall the
incident. No one better pleases US
than by fair and logical criticism.
We had in quoting the Rev. George R.
Stuart, Mr.. Woodward said, failed to
give enough of the extract to show the
real idea of Mr.. Stuart-that is, the
words we quoted when read with the
context did not make the words quoted
so harsh as we seemed to think. The
context we think simply shows Mr..
Stuart's warrant for his statements
and if the facts as stated by him are
true, show his conclusions must be
true, to-wit: that ga murderer is far
better than saloon keeper"
ga highway robber is a better citi-
zen that a saloon keeper
"When l say that saloon keeper
is five time worse than robber or a
thief, 1 am putting it mildly.n
These are certainly Mr.. Stuarts
words as found in his book, and, we
fear, his sentiments.

WHY OBJECT TO TRUTH J?

We learn that some of our people
object to the term "paid agitator" when
applied to the imported talent used by
the "Drys" in local option contests.
We do not see why they should object
except in so far as truth is objection
able on such subjects. Certainly none
will deny that there are number of
persons who seem to have developed
faculty for stirring communities by
infiamatory addresses at such times, in
the PAID employ of some organization
whose sole business is to "destroy the
liquor traffic" Certainly there can be
no denial that these people are Travelled
just as agents in any other occupation,
certainly there can be no denial that
they have fixed salaries, allowances for
travelling expenses, and guarantee all
round. Nor can it be further denied
that these persons have no interest
usually in the towns in which they
appear, and often that they do not
know a man, woman or child in most
OF them on their arrival. 1t cannot be
denied that each has a stock in trade
in the way generally of abuse rather
than argument, which he delivers him.
self of at each stand.
If these facts are denied or are I'M
true, then there might be cause for
complaining of the expression 'paid
agitator." Otherwise we see no cause
for umbrage.
For our part we never listened to one
OF these importations that we did not
practically know, that he was paid for
every utterance, that he had no knowl-
edge OF the surroundings where he
stood, and really cared less, that he was
.ilere much for what there was in it
for him, that he always exacted the
last cent, and that as soon as his en-
gagement there was ended he took the
train for the next stand, tucking his
earnings" snugly away in his jeans.
The colored orator who was imported
two years ago got his "wages" all right
that is certain. Why then object to
the term paid agitator, when the truth
is, they are paid a?
Staunton spectator and vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1896-1916, 1909-07-13

What is the use, says the reformer,
OF wasting time trying to teach people
the immortality of imbibing too freely.
If drunkenness is crime, why not at
once cut the gordian knot, why not at
once bring about the desired result by
prohibiting the manufacture of alcohol
ic drinks and accomplish the end at one
stroke of the pen?
John the Baptist was in Herod's
way. He did not try to close his
mouth or stop his teachings by any
ordinary methods, he simply at his
daughters solicitation chopped off his
head. The prohibitionist would be as
as far from accomplishing his ends by
his mistaken course of chopping off
the head of alcohol, as Herod was of
dest ,oying eternally John the Baptist
by chopping off his head. Some enc
miei must be destroyed by reason not
force.

BRISTOL WET.

The city of Bristol, Va, went "Wet"
last Thursday by majority of 3S.
This when taken with the fact that
two years ago Bristol voted "Dry" by
a vote of 207 in a vote of little over 800,
is wonderful change. We are not
fully advisedsas to the influences at
work there by the ''license" and ''no
license" people, but we have heard
that on the side of no license there were
many of the same workers, who carried
Petersburg for5the license ticket, by
such decided majority short time
since. Bristol is peculiarly located
town. The state line between Virginia
and Tennessee runs through it's main
street. On one side of the street there
will now be saloons on the other none,
as Tennessee is "Dry" State, in name
at least 1t is said that the very first
workings of prohibition in Tennessee
opened the eyes of the Virginians on
the other side of the line and in part
caused this wonderful revulsion of
feeling, in addition to two years. ex-
perience by the people of the Virginia
town of what prohibition meant with
them. Ofcourse there will be many and
various reasons given for the change.
The managers of the Dry side will tell of
influences no doubt very dark, very
direful, resorted to on the other side
The public is always prepared for these
when something goes wrong. They
will never admit that the agitator has
wearied the public, or that two years
of prohibition has taught the people
of Bristol that it is not all gold that
glitters. We sincerely trust there
were no denominations" with Repub-
licans by the democratic" prohibit
ton leaders out there, because no mat
ter what their opinions are on moral
subjects, we hope in real morality they
rose to higher level than has

FREE AGENCY DENIED.

In discussing the subject of prohibit
ton, which means forced morality, we
seem to forget that if people can be
made good by law, in one respect We
should apply the law to all. The
Puritan did this and whether his was
the true mode has been largely decided
by the people of to-day, because out
side of those who would force temper
ance by removing temptation, puritan
ism Is a failure and distasteful to most
people. For instance, the Puritan sup
posed he made people better by All en-
forced observance of the Sabbath
This is in fact, just what the prohibit
ZIONIST thinks he can do by a denial
of drink. IF there were State in the
Union that has tried prohibition and
succeeded The proof ought 10 he forth
coming that he could succeed. But
none has, and no truthful man will
say so. We hear the paid agitator, of
course, tell pleasing story. He tells
what he is paid to tell, but he misses
the truth III most Instance He
misses it entirely hen applied 10 the
State at large. Most of the laws IN
dertaking TO enforce prohibition are a
ton by-word and 4 jest. Bat " hat
becomes of personal liberty when NOR
ality is FORCED upon us? We are told
that men may choose between good
and evil. If that be true then we are
deprived Of choice when temptation is
removed, or others choose for US, and
force us to that choosing by law. But
those who would choose for us forget
that there are many people who do not
admit that they have done any thing
morally wrong by taking a drink of
wine, whiskey or malt liquors, and on
this subject they yield TO 10 man
their personal opinion, and TO no
set of men their personal liberty. They
Yield to no man the right to tell them
they are SHINING when they do so, and
to no man the right to lay down for
them code of moral law founded only
on the individual opinion of the man
who undertakes to read them moral
laws and lectures suited to his particu-
lar views. This is where the paid agi-
tator loses force. He assumes the right
to go to community and tell it what
it CANNOT do, just as if he were gifted
with the divine right of a king, or pos
sibly possessed greater power given
directly from on high. 1t is just these
things that worry people. They grow
tired of men unable to take care of
themselves often without assistance,
and men who agree upon fixed COM
pensation before they start on their
journey coming into their community,
and one in which those agitators have
no interest, and denouncing them and
the mode in which the bona fide citi-
liens conduct their business. The
real citizen objects to having his NOR
ais looked after by them and a recipe
given him, whereby he can correct
all and work out an Eden here on
earth.

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 infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eu-
stachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, I'M

and this tube restored to it's normal
conditions, hearing will be DESTROYED

by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
infiamed condition of the mucous sur

CLIFTON FORGE IS CITED.

The Rev. Mr.. Woodward, of Clifton
Forge, addressed number of our citz-
zens from the Court House steps on
Thursday and Friday nights last, talk
ing for his subject ''The Saloons Must
Co." He is apleasing speaker and
presented an array of ''facts and fig
ures" tending to show that Clifton
Forge has been greatly benefited by a
denial of license there. The squalor
and desolation caused by the empty
houses along the river bank at Clifton
Forge, are not first rate sign that all
is well in that town, under prohibition
1t may be that it is as well as it could
be, but if Clifton Forge, as one enters
it from the East, is sample of wealth
and happiness, and good morals, a
sample of what we would like to make
Staunton under prohibition, we would
oppose it more and more The arrival
of the ''pay car" seems to be the main
source of happiness there, and we sup
pose it had reached theltown before Mr..
Woodward left, hence his optimistic
views and his love OF existing condi-
lions.
