NOT A CLOSE CORPORATION.

The Republican party never has been,
is not, and never will be, a close corpo-
ration. 1t came into existence with a
general invitation to all good citizens to
unite in checking slavery. 1t has ever
since practiced the policy of the open
door. In its own ranks it accepts and
approves wide differences of opinion, as
long as they are honest, based on prin-
ciple and resting on a determination to
support the broad policies of the party.
This is not the policy of the Demo-
cratic party, and never has been its line
OF action. Jefferson began and Jack
son continued the policy of treating the
Democratic party as a close CORPORA
ton. Wherever it is in unchallenged
power it draws the party line sharply
and refuses to permit dissent. The unit
rule prevails in its national conventions,
under which majority of a single vote
In state delegation controls absolutely
every vote from the state. The Repub-
hcan party In 1876 decided against this
practice, and in the conventions each
man from every state is free to vote as
he deems right.
Democratic Senators at Washington
under Democratic training are naturally
challenging independent action in Re-
publican Senators. In the Democratic
party there would be no room for ''inde-
pendents" or insurgents. There is in
the Republican party. Honest differ
ences as to details and honest agree
ment as to essentials is its principle and
practice. Every man in the Republican
party can vote for the present Admins
tration with good conscience. No one
can drive him or boss him.
The Republican party is united as to
the general policy of President Taft on
Legislation now before Congress. Every
Republican can vote for the Admins
tration measures and every Republican
Is free to make an effort to perfect
these measures while they are on pas
sage. This combination of criticism
within the party and action with the
party may be strange to Democratic
Senators at Washington, but it is, and
always has been, good Republican doc

Bad Roads, and Why We Have Them.

If hot air could be harnessed to rock
crushers or TazeweIl roads be like Sheol
paved with good intentions, we might
IN time, have some good roads in this
county; but judging from the meaeer
attendance at the lecture on good roads
here last Friday night millennium will
overtake US before the roads are much
improved.
The lecture by Mr.. L. E. Boykin. a
good roads expert, sent out by the De-
partment of Agriculture, from Wash
lngton, D. c., was very interesting and
instructive, and his treatment of that
part of his subject as to how to raise
the funds, something that every one in
the county should have heard. He said
a bond issue was the only way in which
good roads can be quickly secured. and
his figures showing the increased yalue
of the adjacent lands would more than
pay for the investment in bonds the
first year, pertinent to the present Stu
alton in this county.

of Mr.. Stuart, the vice which the Re-
pubhcans are earnestly, justly and per-
sistently urging against him. He made
sacred pledges both for himself as a
member of the Constitutional Conven-
ton and for his party to do certain
things that were closely linked with the
fundamentals underlying our republican
form of government. These were. that
the new constitution should be submit
ted 10 the people for ratification or re-
lection, and that no honest white man
should be deprived of his suffrage. no
matter how poor or un.ducated he
might he. These solemn pledges
were wilfully and wantonly violated by
Henry c. Stuart and his party.
Is 1t not reasonable and leoiti
mate for good citizens to argue aad hold
that man who is once chosen as a REP
resentative of the people and found I'M
true to his personal and party pledges is
unworthy to be again trusted in a rep
resentative capacity?
The Times knows that this is the rec
ord of Mr.. Stuart, and our contempo-
rary will not be able to efface the DO
htical crimes by continued supercihous
ridicule of Republican leadership in the
Ninth These leaders are appealing to
the vitalized, enfranchised citizenship,
and not to the poor outraged disfran-
chised men who have lost their citizen
ship through the insincerity of Mr.. Stu
art and his party. The appeal is, Come
1e Enfranchised" and resent the de-
ception and duplicity that have been
practiced against you, and help to pun
ish the man and party who first deceived
and then robbed the poor and uneduca-
ted white men of their right to vote.

In view of the record that has already
been made, and of the legislation sure
to be enacted, and in view of the splen-
did administration that President Taft
is giving to the country, it seems i'm
possible that the people will fail to re-
turn Republican House of Represen-
tatives, and by SO doing give hearty
Endorsement to Mr.. Taft and his efforts.
He should have Republican House of
Representatives during the last two
years of his term to enable him and his
party to carry out to the full as much
as possible of the legislation needed to
bring about the best results to our civil
and social and industrial life.

Fighting Insect Pests and Plant Diseases,

At this time fruit growers, gardeners
and truckers are beginning to dread the
ravages of insects and diseases on their
crops. 1t is estimated that a single in
sect-the Cooling Moth-causes a loss
of nearly million dollars year to Vir-
gina fruit growers. Right now the
striped beetle is destroying thousands
of plants Of cucumbers and melons; the
fire blight is blasting the twigs of apple.

of greater or lesser pests. However
free from all these troubles crops were

must wage constant warfare against
them.

HOW BLACKSMITHS GOT
COAL FIFTY YEARS AGO.
Walked From Raven Twelve Miles Into
Buchanan County and Carried il
Back in Sacks,

Hon. John M. Ratliff, delegate from
Tazewell and Buchanan counties to the
last session of the Virginia legislature.
in speaking about the coal which is now
being mined in the vicinity of Raven
tells how he and other blacksmiths used
to get coal to Raven and other points
fifty years ago.
he says at that time Dave Ratliff. his
uncle, was blacksmith at Raven and
when his supply of coal gave out it be-
came necessary for him to get more 30
that he could make the horse shoes
which were much in demand. When
coal getting day came a party would
set out with horses or on foot and walk
or ride from the points between Cedar
Bluff and Swords Creek over into Buch-
anan county to the Levisa river. a dis
lance of twelve miles. There thew would
have lunch and perhaps make visit or
two but they would never return home
without the coal which in MANY cases
was placed in bags and carried ON the
backs of the sturdy blacksmiths from
Levisa river beck to Raven other points.
This practice was carried on for wears.
Inc coal was secured from q two foot
vein which showed an outcrop but which
is now known as a squeezed vein. At
that time the people thought it was fine
coal.
Nothing was then known of such a
thing as coal nearer than the head
waters of Levisa river, but now at Ra-
ven, from which point Dave Ratliff and
others walked fifty years ago, compa-
MES are mining a seven foot seam of
coal and there are other seams as well.
which, however, are not being operated
at this time.
Years before the coal along the Le-
visa river was opened up the coal at
Raven and nearby points was discover
ed and men were at work mining il.
The coal at Raven is known as Raven
Red Ash, and is one of the best domes-
tic Goals known in this section.-Blue-

The Dead hng's Dog.
Washington Herald.

King Edwards pet dog, Caesar. g
oig, buriy, good-natured fellow, is said
to be one of the sincere mourners in
Buckingham Palace nowadays"
While it may not be surprisingly i'm
portant, we think it quite likely that
this mourner's grief is sincere. indeed.
The dog does not grieve for the King
he grieves for the man. That is the
best evidence of his sincerity. Dogs
are capable of most wonderful affection:
once dogs love is won, he is constant
and true to the end of his life.
1t is doubtful that in all King Ed
wards vast realm there is one who real
~ loved him more than Caesar. And
Caesar would have loved his master in
rags no less than royal raiment. In
deed, we are not sure but that Caesar
would have loved him more in SORROW
and distress than he did in happiness
and content. That seems to be the way
with dogs, if not with human beings.
And so Caesar rosms about the palace
and looks beseechingly into eyes that
o N A~ ASoA OOAuAOEI, buQ All the
time he seeks the one he never shall see
again. He is not looking for an en-
peror, prince, and a man of might and
power. He is looking for more than
that, and something better than that.
DE is trying to locate his friend, who

head, tossing him choice morsel to eat.

and sympathizing one-but he cannot.
Grief sincere? In all that proud and
fearful household, no mans grief is
more genuinely sincere than Caesars.
and none will be more abiding. No man
gave of his love as freely, perhaps, and
no man asked as little in return. Gaze
sar, in his sorrow, is merely a dog
among kings. But the hurt in his heart
will not heal this side of his own grave.
That is the way it so frequently seems
to be with dogs.

there is no doubt that there will be most

POLLY A6AIM TALKS TOO MUCH.

The Clinch Valley News continues to
chatter and say foolish things. Polly
has become so frantic that she forpets
to utter her most intelligent cry: ''Polly
wants cracker" but says instead:
Polly wants to give you a cracker"
In its issue of last week the News be-
came very generous. First, it proffer-
ed its columns free for publishing any
thing in Mr.. Slemp's record (which il
commendable. Then calls upon the
Tazewell Republican to say whether
Mr.. Slemp has a record as Congressman
OF which he is proud, or even willing to
face at the polls in November?
II Mr.. Slemp is not proud of his rec
ord as Congressman, he ought to be.
His record was made prominent in the
campaign two years ago and was rati-
ned and endorsed by the people of his
district with a magnificent majority of
four thousand votes. 1t is unnecessary
for The Republican to enter into a dis
cussion of Mr.. Slemp's record. which is
an open book to his constituents, and
which will receive another splendid en-
dorsement next November.
Polly has evidently become insane. if
a parrot has enough gray matter in its
Uranium to go crazy. This only ac-
counts for its generous offer to send the
News free to every DISTINGUISHED man
In Tazewell county. Here is what Polly
said:
We mean just what we say-a six
months subscription to this paper free
to every white man in this county-and
we are tempted to include negroes
who was cut off the voting list by the
new constitution and who could not get
back if he tried"
If the men who have been deprived of
the ballot in Tazewell county by the
new constitution think the Clinch Val
ley News valuable enough to avail them
selves of the offer, the News will make
no money during the next six months.
We call the attention of the News to
the following figures: In 1900, the last
national election before the new consti-
tuition, 4,375 votes were cast in Taze-
well county for the presidential candi-
1ates. OF this number Mr.. Mckinley
1858 and Mr.. Bryan 1872.
In 1908 the number Of votes cast in
razewell county for the presidential
was 2,237. Mr.. Taft re-
'eived 1,42s and Mr.. Bryan 300. If
Polly will figure the thing out she will
lee that the new constitution has cut
'lS8 men off the voting list in Tazewell
ounty, and that of this number 500
we're Bryan Democrats. But Polly
Inches her argument when she saws:
The truth is, that nine men out of ten
7ho were disfranchised are rather glad
I it." This shows how completely IN 4
Intelligent is the News in its treatment !,
the supreme question now before our
eople-the right to vote.
