Passing of the Cowboy.

In the American cowboy the
United States has given one of
the most picturesque and original
characters in the worlds history.
The passing of the hardy, care
free men, who were ready at any
and all times to face danger and
undergo any hardship without
complaining, can not be noted
without a regret.
1t is only too apparent, how
ever, that the cowboys days are
numbered. Even now in the
sections where he is still supreme
his movements are becoming
more circumscribed and the ma
ture of employment so changed
that the cowboy of the present
day IS only reminder of the one
who went before. His occupa-
ton is a tame one compared with
that of his predecessor. He is
no longer expected to sleep on
his arms and be prepared at a
moments notice to fight Indians
or enforce border law against
cattle rustlers and horse thieves.
The barbed wire corral has re-
lieved him in a large measure of
the tiresome and many times
dangerous night riding of the
herd, and the free life with no
bounds but the horizon is ceasing
to be his. With every succeed
ing year the advance of the farm
er into the range country drives
the cowboy still further towards
the 'jumping-off place"

to place an entire machine ticket
at the head of its columns. when
that ticket is being opposed for
nomination by other worthy men
OF the party. This act of the
News is substantial proof that
the services of the Clinch Valley
News have been secured for the
machine ticket in some Interior
way, directly or indirectly. The
News says that it has been re-
celving five cents a copy for extra
papers sent out by candidates.
That is two and a half times its
regular subscription price, and is
pretty large bonus, a shrewd
Indirect way of getting compen-
sation for services rendered. 1t
was generally understood that
four years ago the News made a
pretty good sum out of Captain
Willard by publishing articles
along with his picture and send
ing out extras.
The News calls upon us for a
show down, and we will give it.
Under its present conduct The
Republican never puts the names
of candidates at the head of its
columns until they are made the
candidates of its party. 1t has
never received any compensation
from any candidate for its sup
port, and when it sends out cam
Paigu papers it is done by direc-
ton of the district or county COM
mittee, and we have been paid
cent a copy, the actual cost Of
the paper and postage. And we
have in most Of the campaigns
sent out 500 extra copies at our
own expense, and besides, have
done all job work for the party
without asking or receiving COM
pensation.

Virginia's Great Issue.
Norfolk Landmark.

The greatest issue in Virginia
politics at this time is an issue
which both of the candidates for
gubernatorial nomination ignore
the issue of machine control of
the state Democratic organiza-
ton, which is intimately associ-
ated with machine control of To-
cal Democratic organization. 1t
is almost impossible to break the
local rings when the state ring is
uhbrOken and lends them its tri-
umPhSpt strength.
WHAT'S the power behind the
poll-taX which cuts into the white
vote so seriously' What is the
power behind the fee system.
which costs the general public
more than it will ever know?
What is the power behind the
political coalitions which appor-
ton the official pie in certain
counties between Republicans and
Democrats? What is the power
behind the ward system in cities'
What is the power that keeps the
cities from being able to reduce
their Offices and simplify their
governments, with a view of in
creased efficiency and economy
after the example of Galveston
and Houston? What is the pow
er which prevents the legaliza-
ton of the primary election sys-
tenn, though such legalization is
directed by the constitution which
went into effect in 1902? The
power is the state machine, built
by oficeholders, for oficeholders
and of oficeholders.
So long as this fundamental
issue is ignored by the candi-
dates, the Landmark cannot have
any enthusiastic interest in the
campaign. 1t may be that a can
didate who assails the machine al
this time, intrenched and armed
as 1t is, would go down in defeat
but he would be fighting for,
and in a cause worth risking de-
feat to serve. And sooner or la
ter a candidate is going to ap-
Pear-if not in this campaign, in
another-who will seize the IS
sue, take the risk, inspire his fol-
lowers, arouse the Indifferent,
reanimate the discouraged, and
manfully charge the breastworks
OF peanut politics and sweep the
state for new deal in the inter.
est of the general public.

at is to be hoped" says the
News-Leader of Richmond, THAT
in naming a successor to Post
master Cabell, of this city, the
President will consult the bust
ness men rather than the politi-
clans. Richmond is growing fast
in wealth and Importance and
the conduct of her postoffice re-
quires energy, ability, enterprise
and business experience. Prob
ably we have no other single in
stitution the management of
which affects so directly the gen.
eral welfare and convenience of

In modern city life good post
master is a public necessity. A
postmaster may discharge his du-
ty, so far as his obligation to the
government goes, and yet fail to
meet the demands of the situa2
ton from the city's point of view.
A model postmaster is hard to
find. He must be a man of abil-
ity, of public spirit, of initiative
and of an accommodating spirit.
He must keep in touch with the
business men of the community
and be in sympathy with every
progressive movement. He must
not wait for demands to be made
upon him. 1t is his duty to an
ticipate demands, and improve
the service in every practicable
way. whether or not such inn
provement be requested.
Newport News is fortunate in
having first rate postmaster.
Mr.. Hopkins is "strictly on the
job" He is always at his post
of duty, he is good executive
officer, he is progressive and &C
commodating and he is ever on
the alert to improve and extend
the service. He is notable ex-
ample of the business man in Of

Party Infide1ity.

The contest between Mr.. Tuck
er and Judge Mann for the Dem
ocratic nomination for Governor
has become very interesting to
the people generally and very
embarrassing to the Democratic
management in Virginia. These
two gentlemen are in possession
OF the field as the only aspirants
for the Democratic nomination
and they are telling startling
things on each other. Mr..
Tucker first assailed the repre-
sentative integrity of Judge Mann
by citing his record as a State
Senator; and Judge Mann has
not undertaken to disprove the
charges of Mr.. Tucker, which
are sustained by the record as
found in the Senate Journal.
To break the assaults of Mr..
Tucker, we find Judge Mann
charging Mr.. Tucker with party
lnhdelity, pointing to his record
IN the campaign Of 1896, when
Mr.. Tucker was opposed to free
silver and gave Mr.. Bryan re-
luctant and possibly question
able support.
When Judge Mann commenced
this assault upon Mr.. fuckers
Democratic fealty he thought,
! perhaps, his own record on that
line had been concealed by time
and would escape exposure. AT
the outset of the campaign he
had proclaimed that his record
as a Democrat was consistent
and unimpeachable. But it seems
that some of the Democratic
papers that are hostile to Mann
are calling attention to the fact
that he in 1879 was a follower
of Malone, and had solicited and
accepted the position of county
Judge from the Mahoneites, who
were Readjusters and Republi-
cans and not Democrats. Judge
Mann will not be able to escape
this charge; and people will be
curious to learn now far he fol-
lowed Malone. Did he follow
him in support Of the July Tick
ct" in 1880, and did he vote for
VIM. +. Cameron, the Readiust-
er-Republican candidate for Gov
ernor, against John w. Daniel,
the regular Democratic nominee,
in 1881? These are serious
questions that Mr.. Tucker may
call on Judge Mann to answer.
His particular friend, VIM. F.
Rhea, holds that kind Of a re-
cord. In 1879 he was follower
of Malone, and was given the
judgship of Washington county
by the Readjusters and RePubli-
cans. He was a champion of
the "July Ticket" and a warm
supporter of VIM. Z. Cameron
as against John w. Daniel in
Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1909-05-20

1881. Mann and Rhea are poll
ticians of the same stripe, con-
sidered by many Democrats
"unscruPulous politicians"
Their records are peculiarly
alike. They received their first
positions Of honor and trust from
Republicans; and have both
taken legislative positions with
tainted Certificates.

There is great excitement in
Florida over the discovery that
some Of its State officials and leg

securing the passage of a law
prohibiting free transportation on
railroads for all classes of public
officials, have been accepting
free passes and riding on the
same. This is very sad, and al

Governor becomes more general
and stronger with Virginia Re-
