Anti.Monastic Order.


The decree of the new Republican
government OF Portugal that the relig
lous orders shall leave the country
within twenty-four hours is, il accu
rately reported, fanatical undertak
ing that may react against it's promul
gators. Obedience within so short a
time Is impossible. Any attempt 10
enforce the rule will lead 20 more
bloodshed
Yet Portugal. like France, Italy and
Spain, in undermining it's government
must face the problem of the monas-
tic orders. AS in Spain, where the
CanaleJas ministry is carrying out an
antimonastic policy, the orders with
draw too many OF the people from
normal life, they lock up too much
property through the slow processes
or mortmain, they often compete up
on unfair terms with taxed and wage
paying industries
In none of these four countries is
the anti-monastic policy necessarily
anti-Catholic. The par.p;l mi SITS ~
the bishops are expected to continue
their work. Most of the people who
adhere to the governmental policy
even in France are Catholics.
Before Englishmen or Americans
exclaim too loudly against anti-mo-
nastic policy in Latin lands they
might remember that England passed
through the same process so long ago
that the wounds are healed; that the
suppression of Episcopalian Church
endowments in Virginia by Thomas
Jefferson caused baptismal fonts TO
be used as horse-troughs, and that in
our own day the friars' lands in the
philippines were acquired by the
American Government because their
ownership was contrary to public poi

OH, THE GALL OF IT.!

The Mountain Messenger of Prin-
ceton seeks to saddle the blame for
the present high taxes on the Demo
cratic party. because Mr.. French in
sisted on the countys paying some of
its obligations instead of allowing the
debt to increase. Mr.. French was in
no way responsible for the county
debt of 100000, which existed when
he went into office, and it is due to
him that the doubt was reduced some
100000 last year. Mercer county to-
day owes $4,000 less than she did
when Mr.. French was elected mem
Der of the court and county warrants
are again at par. The reckless waste
of the county funds has been checked
and with the fiscal affairs of Mercer
county in the hands of Messrs Writ
A. French and Robert NJ. Calfee, we
predict that in two years more the
entire debt will be wiped out and the
tax rate cut to one half the present
figure.

Some Old Tricks


The Republican party has been I'm
control of the government for prac-
tically fifty years. Just previous to
every election in that time favor
lite deception of the leaders was to
inform the public that in the event
of Democratic success, securities OF
all kinds would depreciate i'm the mar
kets, accommodations would be with
drawn from the bankers of the coun-
~, and disaster would surely follow.
This trick has been worked for all
that II is worth, and it can not be de-
MED that II had it's influence upon the
voters, and many an election was car.
ried thereby by the epublicans. Just
after the recent election in Maine.
when the Democrats carried the state
by an overwhelming vote. all legiti.
mate stocks, bonds and other seouri-
ties at once rallied from sluggishness
and depression, and gain notable
appreciation. Not only the masses.
but the business interests now dis.
trust the Republican machine. It has
been clearly proven that the Republi.
can organization has been worked for
almost half century aaginst the in.
ttrests Of the people in behalf of the
money trust and Big Business. The
Democratic party Is not an enemy of
The legitimate business interests, and
the public as never before now re.
allies it.-Clarksburg Exponent.

A RIGHT TO DOUBT.

The Mountain Messenger says that
1t comes with bad grace from the
Leader to tell its readers il is doubt.
full II Senator Baker and Mr.. Hawley
will vote for the suppression of the
liquor traffic.
And pray why should doubt
OF this nature come with bad grace
from anyone? These men have been
both wet and dry; they have deceived
the people, they have broken their
platform pledges, and what reason is
there to believe that the!S promises,
even though supplemented by a sign
ed statement, is any more worthy OF
serious consideration now than for
merly? On a very memorable historic
occasion, Patrick Henry said that
there was no way of Judging the fu.
ture except by the past, and this is
exactly the position we occupy in re.
gard to the Republican candidates. II
they have violated their promises in
time past they are likely to do the
same thing again. We have perfect
right. as every other voter i'm the
county has. to doubt their sincerity.
On the other hand. the Democratic
candidates have said repeatedly that
they stand squarely on their party
platform which declares for the sun
preston OF the liquor traffic. and
there is absolutely nothing in their
past records to discredit their state
ment or to lead to the conclusion that
they will not perform the pledges OF
their party.
A mans bond is no better than his
word.
Again. the Messenger criticises
the Leader for carrying liquor adver-
tisements. This is a matter OF cool
cash and not politics, and we suspect
the Messenger and the rest OF the ul-,
ira dry Republican papers of recent
conversion would carry them too if
they were afforded the chance. The
Messenger might do well, if it is so
righteous in this particular, to cut out
its patent medicine ads, since it has
been shown that the main ingredient
in many Of these medicines is low
grade whiskey.
Heretofore we have expressed SYM
pathy for the Bluefield liquor dealers
in the raw and rotten deal they re-
ceived at the hands of one Ernest
Freeman, Republican member of the
county court. but as to committing
ourselves to a wet policy, or the Dem
ocratic candidates being backed by a
wet crowd the Messenger knows
when it is intimating as much that IL
is talking to deceive. II it will re-
lieye the Messenger, we will repeat
that the Leader, along with the Demo.
cratic candidates, is standing all over
every plank in it's party's platform.
And moreovert it is willing to pledge
its candidates to use every effort DOS
sible to carry out, if elected, the prom
ises of this platform.

oUN,RAISIpd ON THE INCREASE.

~ b,dGetin from the Department of
agriculture, Washington, D. c.,
yields the information that in Corn
production Mississippi has moved up
from 14,5 bushels average per acre
in 1909 to 205 in 1910, the heaviest
increase on that product of any
Southern state. For the last ten
years Mississippi shows from this
report an average yield per acre of 10
2 bushels She can be depended upon
to very greatly advance that average
during the next decade The total
crop in bushels for 1909 was 40, 745,
600 and in 1910, &c, 256, 600. The U.
S. Government has conducted Farm
er Cooperative Demonstration
work in all the Southern states in late
years, which accounts for the in :
crease in contrasting.

ADVERTISING IN THE SUMNER
Lack Of Optimism on Part of soici
tors May Cause Falling OFF at
This Time.

Before recent business meeting Of
the New York Times staff, Ernest ].
Preston, manager of the Daily News
paper club, discussed "The Decline of
Advertising in the Summer" He gave
various reasons why advertising
should be kept up during the hot sea-
son above all other times of the year,
and said that it may not be all the
fault of the advertiser that he lets his
publicity fall off in the summer but
that some of it may be brought about
by the lack of optimism on the part
OF the advertising solicitor.
1T is as senseless for an adver-
tiser to stop his advertising break
the effect of repetition-to quit firing
at that great SO per cent. of the indif-
ferent, thoughtless, obstinate public"
said Mr.. Preston, las it would be for
the engineer to let his fires go out
or the chauffeur to let his power and
speed go down on approaching hill.
THE public must be told the story
OF q product without the cessation of
month or two for it has been proven
that 1t costs twice as much to get
back into the former commanding DO
sition than it would have cost to keep
the attention with some shots each
'TccL, even il the full schedule was
not maintained
Tell your customers to advertise
to the people that are staying at home
there's hundred times as many re-
manning here as go away. Some per-
sons believe that the people read less
in the summer than in the winter. but
l don't believe it.
You have hundred reasons to give
why line should be persistently ad-
vertised in the summer as any other
time Personally you get hungry in
the summer-you read in the summer
you may take things a trifle easy
out you don't let up It's not human
nature to let up, so bring that to the
attention of the man who should spend
some money in the display columns
and see if good bunch of optimism
plus some good common sense
won't make them look at things in
light that will enable you to obtain
the name on the dotted line"
