mctlods or the two inen have differed
! widely, but their purposes have both
been the same" That is the hardest
! thing yet said about Mr.. Taft; but
There Is this grain OF satisfaction In
the situations; what Mr. Roosevelt at
tempted to do with a club. Mr.. Taft ~
trying to do by law.
Every time. lie comes back says
the Lynchburg Advance, speaking or
the Bryan portent In the political Sky.
Tie prOclaims that he has found an
other ultimate issue 1t was Gov
ernment ownership once; nowslt is SUR
missed that It will be prohibition in all
It's popularity. Next tine 1t may be
lhatpins, or the abolition or corsets.H
| AS the Advunccdoes not WELD the hat
pin or wear corscts, why should 1t fret
about IT? Besides. Mr. Bryan would
come nearer winning on either OF these
important issues than on any Of the
other equally foolish things he has adj
vocated
We join the Virginia Citizen most
heartily in this eiaculation: Long
live the Q. O. and may the health Of.
It's lady editor, which, as we CLEAN
from the paper, is frail, be soon and
completely restored. virsinia's only
lady Journalist should be clerished.n
The 'razewell Republican praises
President TAFT for his remarkable
work as "pacihcator' without med
ding or interfering. yet he has a way,
of bringing together different factions
and conciliating different Views not
only in Washington, but in the various
States" This statement will doubt
less be very gratifying to Mr.. Taft.
II nearly all the other papers we have
read are to be believed, Mr.. Taft is
| in n very bad way with the different
| factions. Probably he would get along
! better II he would let the factions
fight out their own differences and
| stick to his Job of being President or
the whole country.
The truth is mighty and will pre-
vail. The Lynchburg News is coming.
over into the Cook camp of arctic ex-
plorers. or at least. it believes In help
| Ing out the under dog in an unequal
fight against the alleged scientific
world. THE rigid tests which Peary
insisted should be applied to Cook, the
public insist should now be applied
to Peary." That seems to be fair
What does Matt Henson think about
It? Some enterprising newspaper
ought to interview Matt as to how
the Peary records were made up. Matt
ought to be ripe now for an Interview.
Richmond has never claimed to be
"all of Virginia" 1t is only a. part
of Virginia, and not a. very large part,
unless it be measured by it's share
| in tho history Of the state. There Is
.old Botetourt," for example. that Is
filled with good people who are served
by a very excellent paper every Fri
day in the week. 1t doesn't require
any special investigation to show that
this is the case. How does that suit
the News?
saws the Lebanon News: Stuart Will
stand by the poor mans interest In
| Congress when the trusts try TO get
lbills through that will rob the people
nv high prices" That Is the reason
why the poor man in, the Ninth District

What good would 1t do now 10 pc

with committee of ten telling now

But Just the same, we are rathcr
glad that they took away Speaker
c.annon's peacock feather and stripped
him Of his yellow jacket Probably
! he will now begin to wear his suit Of
! South Carolina jeans. his wool hat and
his Charleston boots. They would
keep him warm in this winter Of his
ldiscontent.
