supposed it would remain there. The

A PRETTY CLEAN ONE.

Speaking of the Republican nomi-
nees, the Abingdon Virginian says:
GAS a rule the ticket is pretty clean
one, and that is really all that can be
said about it.
But speaking further on the Virgin
ian says of Captain Kent: THAT he is
an intelligent man, a good citizen and
one of fine personality no one will deny. "
So, Captain Kent is a man of intelli-
gence, rare culture, a good citizen and
of imposing personality, as well as
clean. And what of Hon. A. T. Lin
coin, the Republican nominee for Lieu
tenant Governor? He is a man of
strong intellect, of extraordinary bust
ness attainments and one of the most
popular men Of this section of Virginia.
And the Hon. Geo. A. Revercomb is a
man of splendid ability, a lawyer of
high standing, Of fine presence and one
of the best political speakers in the

A TARIFF LESSON.

The following story comes from Kan
sas and illustrates a point that many
of the people the country over are prone
to overlook:
A farmer in Hutchinson. Kansas
bought wagon in 1894 for $50. Re-
Gently he needed a new wagon, and the
same dealer priced him the same sort of
wagon for $40.
The farmer objected to the extra $40.
and began to deliver a lecture on the
robber tariff and the robber trusts. The
merchant figured a minute, and then
said he would sell him the wagon on the
same terms as he had sold him the first
one. He reminded him that the first
one had been paid for with 600 bushels
of corn at l0c. bushel. Now" said
the merchant, you bring me 600 BUSH
els of corn, and l will not only give YOU
this wagon, but will give you a S125
surrey, SIPS self-binder, an $50 kitch-
en- range and $50 worth of kitchen fur
niture, all for 600 bushels of corn, which
you paid me in 1894 for the wagon
alone. With corn at zoe. bushel. this
makes 1920 worth" The farmer had
no answer on the point to make, but
counted out $40 and took the wagon.

State. These three men, who head the
Republican State ticket, are incompar
ably superior in every way to the three
men who have been selected by the
Democrats as their candidates for the
above named offices.
But suppose what the Abingdon Vir-
ginisn says about the Republican nomi-
nees is true: "As a rule the ticket is a
pretty clean one, and that is all that
can be said about it," Is this not the
very best thing that can be said about a
ticket presented by a political party for
the consideration and support of the vo-
. ters? Does the Democratic ticket pos
ssss the very important element, clean
illness? If the Abingdon Virginian is
not informed as to this it can get am
pie evidence from Democratic sources
to prove the contrary. Perhaps the
Virginian had this in mind when it de-
clared:
The Virginian took no part what
ever IN the primary, therefore, in 10y
ally supporting the ticket will have no
crow to eat-not even the unsavory
odor arising from the cooking of the
bird to sniff from afar"
We expect many of the virginian's
contemporaries in Virginia wish heartily
that they could say as much. The
Democratic ticket will be a nauseous
dose to them, or their course during the
primary campaign was very insincere
and discreditable. The record of Judge
Mann as exposed and criticised by q
number of Democratic newspapers
throughout Virginia proved him not
only morally unfit for the position of
Governor, but unworthy to occupy any
place Of honor or trust that can be be-
slowed by the people. These newspa-
pers were not so fortunate in hedging
as the Virginian, and they will have to
eat crow and eat dirt when they give
their support to Judge Mann.

THE NEW TARIFF LAW.

After protracted, heated struggle
Congress on last Thursday completed
the new tariff law, and it was promptly
signed by President Taft. This new
measure, which bears the name of the
Payne Tariff Bill, has been made to con-
form as nearly as possible to the gener-
al opinion of the Republican party and
of the country on the tariff. 1t is re-
vision of the tariff along protection
lines. 1t does not meet the demands of
the Democratic party, though, during
the debates on the bill in both houses of
Congress, strong sentiment in favor
of protection was developed by Demo-
cratic Representatives and Senators.
We never believed that there was any
necessity for or wisdom in the intense
tariff agitation that resulted in bringing
upon the country such large measure
OF business depression. The Dingley
law was good one. Its defects were
OF such character that they could have
been remedied in a way that would have
kept business going and saved the coun-
try from the great financial losses that
have occurred from heated and pro.
longed agitation. But the agony is now
over and the agitation should cease.
Will the Democrats act wisely and pa
triotically in the matter? We fear not.

that on the day the primary was held
that the brewers and liquor sellers were
found at the polling places, shoulder to
shoulder and elbow to elbow with the
Anti-SaloOn and temperance advocates,
working and voting for Mann.
A press dispatch sent out from Nor
folk on the 7th instant disclosed further
evidence of the unholy alliance between
the Anti-Ssloon League and the liquor
men, The dispatch announced that J..
w. Hough, president of the Norfolk
Anti-Ssloon League, said that arrange
ments were being made to hold local
option election in Norfolk at an early
date And Mr.. Hough said:
eff the saloon people don't vote with
us on the proposition, they have changed
form nightly from the way they voted
Tuesday in helping us give Judge Mann
that fine majority that Norfolk rolled
up for him.
Could such a service have been rem
dered by the saloon men without the
knowledge and consent of Judge Mann
and his managers? And would such ser
vice and support have been rendered
without some assurance given of future
fsvors to be extended by Mann and the
Democratic Machine?
Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1909-08-12
ARE WE SLAVES TO A RING?

We have no quarrel with the citizen
who, with all the lights befone him. has
formed the conclusion that Judge Mann
is the safer candidate for the Virginia
Democracy and has the stronger claim
and higher qualifications for the Office
of Governor. We may question Sc
riously the soundness of the judgment
that can so decide, but for an honest
convection, however mistaken, we have
the most profound respect, and we con-
denim in no one the exercise of that
freedom of opinion which we claim for
ourselves.
Not so, however, as to the voters
who openly confess their disapproba-
ton of Judge Mann's past political con-
duct and their distrust of his present
professions, but still declare their pur-
pose of voting for him at the dictation
or solicitation of somebody else. If
there were no other objection to Judge
Mann than that he has been entered
and groomed for the race by ring
within ring, by a machine inside of
the party organization and seeking to
dominate it, that of itself to our mind
would Justify the people of the party in
resenting such an invasion of their SOW
ereign prerogative and in rejecting the
candidate so trained and backed. He
Is the chosen instrument of an oligarchy
and the main object sought in his nomi-
nation and election is the strengthening
OF political dynasty which aims to
perpetuate its regime by filling all
places of trust and emolument with
creatures of its will.
If this arrogant assumption be now
conceded, the administration of Vir-
ginia's affairs for the next four wears
will be entirely subject to the guidance
of the hand which we are told is 1.-The
real issue in this canvass" More than
that! Mark and ponder on this, YOU
Democrats of Virginia who fancy YOUR
selves self-governing! If the combina-
ton succeeds this time, the slate to be
put up in 1908 is already made up; if
Judge Mann comes out ahead in this
contest, 1t Is an open secret to whom
the mysterious power behind the organ
cation has already assigned the success
ion to the Governorship four years
hence.-Norfolk Virginian-Pilo
The above editorial appeared in the
columns of our Norfolk contemporary
on the 5th inst. 1t states a condition
that is known to be an absolute verify.
But our able contemporary since the
primary has been held has decided tc
submit to continued ensIavement, and
permit the machine oligarchy to rivet
anew the chains of slavery placed upon
it and the Virginia Democracy by g
mysterious power. Is this the way tc
uphold truth and defend the right?

Rigid Regulation for Saloons.
Bristol Herald Courier.


Under a suspension of rules, the Bris-
tol, Virginia, city council on Tuesday
night passed an ordinance providing for
the rigid regulation of the saloons that
will be located here, in the event the
recent local option election is held to be
valid by Judge Kelly, of the corporation
court.
The license fee is to be 81, 500, which
will make the total license for each sa-
loon about 5000. The closing hours
are to be from 10 p. m. to 5 M, and
during these hours screens must be re-
moved and saloons lighted, giving a full
view of the interior from the street.
No saloon keeper may have any sort of
game or gaming device in his place of
business. No liquor is to be sold on
Sunday, or on Christmas day, or to
minors, students of any public school,
college or university, idiots, lunatics or
epileptics, or habitual drunkards, nor is
any person to be allowed to buy LIQUOR
for these classes.
For violations of these provisions. the
offender is to be fined for the first of
Tense not less than $25 nor more than
$50; for the second offense not less than
$50 nor more than 500; and for each
subsequent offense he is to be fined
$500 and in the discretion of the court
confined in Jail not more than three
months. These are severe penalties.
but for the third violation the saloon
keepers license should be revoked. No
habitual offender should be permitted
to continue in the business.
No entertainments or performances
or mu3ic of any kind are to be allowed
in saloons. Females must not enter
them; no drunken or disorderly persons
must assemble there, nor must lewd or
indecent pictures or statuary be expos
ed or displayed therein. No drinks
shall be served in booths or private
rooms, nor shall any booths, partitions,
alcoves or apartments of any kind be
allowed in saloons. No saloon shall be
connected by doors, windows or other
openings with any other room in which
is carried on any billiard parlor, pool
room, grocery store, or other merchan-
dising business, nor shall any saloon
have stairway, dumbwaiter, carrier.
or other means for carrying liquors to
rooms above, below or adjoining it,
This does not, however, prohibit stock
or warehouse rooms, nor does it pre-
vent a hotel bar from having connec-
ton with the hotel, nor does it prevent
the serving of drinks in the rooms of
hotel guests. Violations of these pro-
visions are made punishable by fine
Of not less than $40 nor more than $50.
One section of the ordinance, and q
good one, provides that a minor who
represents himself of age in, order to
secure liquor shall be fined not less than
500 nor more than $50. But the coun-
Gil overlooked two other regulatory
measures which it should adopt as
amendments to the ordinance, if it
should ever become necessary to put
the law IN force. Treating in saloons
should be prohibited, since that custom
is responsible for much drunkenness:
and crowds should not be allowed to
congregate in front of saloons, forcing
pedestrians, men and women into the
streets. A moveon ordinance would
remedy the latter trouble.
