We thank our esteemed contemnorsrv

accurate than its general line of politi-
cal statements. If The Roanoke Times
really did pull majority of 4,IO1 down

hardly visible to the naked eve. we feel
UNNECESSARILY proud of the achieve

Is the funniest-the feebleness of our
satire or the silly self-praise of the
Times which in this case is considerable
more than half scandal"
Fer the information of the Times we
will tell them that, except as a mouth
piece for Democracy, to appeal to the
ignorant, venal and vicious voter of the
Ninth, they had about as much influence
in the last election as the proverbial

A FHrgiag Of Virginia politics can

one way, then, to DO in Virginia. and
that is for the Republicans to complete

OUR OFFICIALS LlTlGANT.

Inc Governor of Virginia is being
sued for damages, and the ATTORNEY
General, for the rent of typewriter in
MS campaign last year. If this keeps
up we may expect the Governor to ap-
point another assistant COUNSEL to
take care of this public litigation
Waynesboro Valley Virginian.
The above paragraph was reproduced
IN the columns of the Richmond Even
ing Journal. Evidently that paper is
heartily ashamed of the men it helped
TO elevate to the highest positions in
our State government, but the Journal
has not the courage to express its dis
gust and contempt. Verify, has the old
commonwealth been brought very low
by the Machine Democracy which has
supreme control of her affairs. Carter
Glass is even protesting against it. In
an interview at the Raleigh Hotel in
Washington few days ago Mr.. Glass
declared that he thinks somebody
should voice vigorous protest against
existing conditions which he regards as
disgraceful to the State"
The reporter who sent out the inter
view in which the primary contest next
year for U. S. Senator was the LEADING
feature also reported that. "Glass is
said to have been particularly caustic
In his condemnation of certain nublic
ofnclais at Richmond whom he CHARGES
with having been procured to write let
tiers over the State in behalf of a GER
tain avowed candidate, saying it was
just such impertinent intermedling as
this that gives force to the charge that
there Is an 'office-holder' trust in Vir-
ginia.''
Ten years ago Mr.. Glass repeatedly
charged that an "office-holder's trust
or band of political brigands" had
charge of Virginia's affairs. This was
the first reason he offered for the max
ing Of new constitution. We have
been living ten years under the new
organic law and Mr.. Glass is forced to
admit that the ''office-hoIder's trust,
still reigns supreme and that the State
Capitol is In full possession of the do
litical brigands.'
We shall wait with much curiosity to
see what Mr.. Stuart and his followers
will do in the contest for United States
Senators next year. They dickered
both with the political brigands' and
the ants in the recent campaign. They
can't do this next year, so we conf
IDENTIFY expect to witness a campaign of
elimination and recrimination; and both
sides will have abundant testimony to
offer against each other.

SATAN REBUKES SIN.

The Roanoke Times reached the limit
of absurdity during the campaign as a
supporter of MIR. Stuart, but it has
now gone far beyond the limit. Crushed
and Inundated it shouts victory where
1t should see nothing but the most ig-
nominious defeat. The Times pretepds
to believe that the Republicans of the
Ninth have been beaten and Inundated
by the great reduction in Mr.. Slemp's
majority. This is the merest pretense
on the part of our Roanoke contem-
porary. 1t says:
Probably in the political history of
the country there has not been a more
beautiful fight or one more worthy of
men to engage in than that in the Ninth
District this year."
This is said in praise of the Democ-
= racy, who conducted the most wantonly
corrupt campaign that has ever been
known in Virginia. But after declar-
ing the fight beautiful one, the Times
discloses its bitterness of heart by a
slanderous attack upon the intelligence
and integrity of the Ninth District Re-
publicans. 1t says:
The Republican in the Ninth Dis
trict has not made itself strong and re-
spectacle, it has taught the doctrine of
pie. 1t has taught that the chief pur
pose in life was the dollar and the lob.

A GLORIOUS VICTORY.

The brave and true Republicans OF
the Ninth Virginia District, under the
leadership of their worthy and gallant
leader, Bascom Slemp, won a glorious
triumph over the Virginia Democracy
on the 9Th inst. With so much to con.
tend against it is wonderful that thew
succeeded. Nothing but the most reso-
lutte adherence to duty could possibly
have brought success. With all the
election machinery in their hands and
with corruption fund of immense pro-
portions, the Democrats are still
amazed at their defeat. The Republi-
cans of the Ninth have emerged from
the hottest contest they have ever
fought with renewed strength and in
creased courage. If they have sue
ceeded under such conditions, when
they had to battle with the entire Vir-
GINA Democracy, its money and its ae-
gregated influence and crooked meth
DDS, what can they not do when thew
meet the Ninth District Democracy
single-handed?

In other words, the public schools
would have had $50, SOS. 81 more than
they now have if the General Assembly
OF 1910 had made neither a change in
the law nor additional appropriation.
There is an Increase for this wear
over last year, but it is due to the in
crease OF assessments. The taxes for
schools in 1909 were SIG, 613 AZ. while
IN 1910 they amounted to $761, 569. IL
an increase of $44, 955. 60 This increas
In the main, is attributable to increase

did nothing to give better support to

and white, will not endure and On No
vember the SIh they announced to the
''big bosses" in no uncertain tones their
determination never to wear an opprss-
sive yoke. The men who on that day
proclaimed their political freedom were
not men who believed in e single prin-
ciple advocated BY Domccrscy, but on
the contrary, in every principle for
which the grand old Republican party
stands, but they simply threw aside
party success rather than wear the yoke
of political boss. This the Democrats
of Mercer recognize as being true as
the following taken from the Bluefield
