sLEMP. THE swuNI1ER.

Brother Bill Eads, of the Wise News,
nearly wore If his feet working that
press in his office from the beginning
of the campaign, but the things he
said about slemp and the things he
said for Stuart were an effective
factor in the contest this year. The
News is not a large paper, but 1t says
things loud enough to make up for
that.
Under the heading, How He swunk-
eth Brother Eads last week thus
observed as to Little Bascom":
Three years ago the Hon. G. Bas-
com Slemp carried the Ninth Congress
siona District by majority exceed
Ing 1000; at the next run he fell To
little over 1000, and on last Tuesday
he almost swunk away and out OF
sight. How like a vanishing dream
how like a Shattered idol; how like a
bursted bubble The Irishman's catfish
has it's sequel In Bascom's latest po-
litical triumph C?) Only 81 majority
at his home precinct and only 200 ma
1ority in his home county--and tire
publican by moro than 600-sounds
bad for a statesman who wears the
label of worlds celebrity, and upor
which is inscribed the glorious adage

Young Man of the Ninth will "swunk'

provement that has ever been SUGGEST
ed to the voters or this district has
carried: no >: skwnrd step has yet
marked our course, and when our
roads are converted into modern and
passable highways we will have taken
a potent stride forward, and the YER
dict In the years to come Will be wen
and truly done. The people Of Front
Royal should feel proud OF this victory
for progress and thrift"
AS this indicates. the liberal spirit
shown by those who are In favor or
good roads is an excellent argument
for this great reform. Instead OF
criticizing the other districts for OPP
posing the bond Issue, the people Oh
Front Royal have faith that the other
districts will follow the example set.
The Impartial reporter very generous
iy says: 1--WE will be the first to ap-
plaud their purpose and our columns
will be at their command"
Warren is one of the eight counties
which hitherto has failed to avail it
self of state aid in road building, but
it is now setting out with vim to
span the whole anty with improved
highways. With such Jealous and
broad spirit, with such determined pur-
pose. Warren can be relied on to come
rapidly to the front in the matter of
good roads.

THE RECORD IN INCHES.

The esteemed Amherst Progress
agrees with The Times-Dispatch that
the newspapers ought to drop the Col
onel; but imagines that our contem-
porary falls far short OF practicing
what it breaches. We do not think that
we miss it far" says the Progress,
when we say that about half of its
editorial space for the last two months
or more has been devoted to Colonel
Roosevelt
In order that we might set our con-
temporary straight on this point, we
have taken the trouble to go through
seven copies of The. Times Dispatch,
published on the seven days immediate
ly preceding the election and have
found this result:
October 3O--12 editorial articles, 8
references to the Colonel. 100 inches. j

ing inches.

jects,
We think that careful examination
of the files of The Times-Dispatch for
the last two months, with measuring
rule, would show that the same admir-
; able balance has been maintained be-
tween what we have said about the
/ Colonel and what we have said about
other things--smithfeld hams, James

Two social clubs were raided at
Greenville, South Carolina, last Sat
urday. One of them was called the
"Owl Cafe" and the other the Olym-
pia Club In addition tothese recog-
nized places of entertainment, another
Interesting retreat for weary travellers,
called the TON Harrison Place" was
also invaded by the minions of the
law. The quantity of malt and al
coholic liquors seized aggregated 467
bottles of beer and nine quarts of
wniskey, which was taken to the
Sheriffs Office to be emptied, probably,
into Reedy River. in which the fish
are said to be acquiring very bad
habits.
Greenyille is a prohibition town, but
from what we have known OF It's peo-
ple-the population of the town being,
In 1900, 11S00--we should say that the
supply there is hardly equal to a nor
NAL demand. The idea Of 467 bottles
of beer and quarts Of whiskey to
1900 people would seem to indicate
that the stuff is really used there only
as medicine" IT is news to US, as ii
will be to all persons who have ever
heard OF Greenville, that It has beer
converted to the homeopathic idea ii
| spirituous refreshment
But how does It happen that any in,
toxicatins beverages at all could be
found In so pronounced a prohibition
1lplace as Greenville?

NuNIBER TEN,

Chairman Ellyson, of the State DEM
ocratic Committee. prophesied before
the election that Virginia would send
ten representatives to Congress. Strict
ly speaking, he missed 1t barely by
one, but in another sense he was right
Dr. John Joseph Kindred, a native
of Southampton, will complete the
number forecasted. He has just been
elected for his first term on the regu-
lar Democratic ticket as representa-
tive from the Fourteenth district OF
New York, composed of part OF
Queens and New York city. Twenty
one years ago he left Virginia. almost
friendless and penniless. and started
life In New York as a young physi-
clan He is reputed to be millionaire
now.
1t is the old story of the ambitious
Virginian in New York.

..MR. rAFTs CLOSE FRIENDS

The Colonel will lecture before the
National Geographical Society in
Washington next Thursday night on
his African hunting trip. He will be
entertained at luncheon on Saturday
by Secretary Grosvenor, of the Society,
and this will be his first public APP
pearance since the Battle of Waterloo.
The President will not be In Washing
ton, as he will not return from Panama
until the latter part of next week.
A Washington dispatch to the Bal
timore sun says: Mr.. Taft's close
friends here are bitter towards
Roosevelt No one who knows
either of the two men we'll ap-
pears to have any doubt that their
friendship is thing OF the past, and
that there will never again be between
them the cordial relations which for
merly existed"
How would it do If "Mr. Tafts
close friends" would occasionally
| permit him to express his own
views about his relations to the Col
onel and the Colonel's relations to
him? So far as we know, the Presi-
dent has maintained most dignified
and self-respecting silence about the
Colonel. 1t would not be surprising If
he should have some views on the
general subject of the infamous treat
ment he has received, but no word has
ever come from him to the public, and
it appears to US that his "close friends
should be controlled somewhat in the
expression of their views by the digni-
fled and manly courl SO far pursued
by the President. When he gets ready
to speak he will doubtless speak, ant
with no uncertain sound. Ones foo
friends often occasion one great en-
barrassment.

AyIATIoN DEVASTATION.

Many newspaper writer's, who in
their callow days dragged legal texts
around in green bags and followed
theory into the empyrean. have de-
scanted at length on the law OF aero
navigation. Column after column has
been filed with the statement of pro-
posed principles-enough to constitute
code, We're they all sound.
Legislation over the aerial domain
however, has already begun, and may
put to flight some OF the theories adj
vanced In certain districts in Ger
many all cross-country dying is pro-
hibited In England there have been
many complaints from land owners on
whose property aviators have been
forced to make sudden and unavoid-
able landings. The Royal Aero Club
of the United Kingdom has forbidden
its members to fly over towns or
areas thtckly populated. The reason
assigned is that such flights imperii
the public.
Aeroplsnes now have one-hundred
horsep over engines, and can make
seventy five miles the hour. If they
were to pass from the control of the
aviator, there IS no telling how much
damage to life and property might be
done
Practical legislation on this subject
is likely to multiply greatly within she
next few years

Unison at Last.
10 the Editor OF The Times Dispatch;
Sir,--Now that we are all rejoicing
over the great Democratic victory, we
of Virginia should feel doubly proud
of our great big statesman, Henry 9
Stuart. Although defeated in the
greatest race that ever occurred in his
district, his candidacy has done more to
unite all factions In Virginia than any
thing that has occurred for years
All party leaders went to the help
OF this great man, and all now that
remains to solidify and unite our party
is to have grand State convention
here In Richmond next spring, and as
d great family gathered together we
will reaffirm and promulgate an old
time Democratic platform and indorse
Henry 9, Stuart for our next Cover
nor, and prepare the way to elect Gov
ident, GEO, Mod BLAhls.
