TO SMASH THE MACHINE
Mr.. RI. Aliworth Urges Candidacy
Of Hon. Harry St. George Tucker

In line of an editorial in the Dis
patch and News of Oct i. we find the
following in Norfolk paper;
The great Norfolk Mass meeting OF
enraged democrats. called to denounce
machine politics and demand an in
quisiticn into the Second district pri-
mary, at which United States Senator
Thomas S. Martin, regarded as the
head of the Democratic State ma
chine" was Missed and jeered, has
thrilled the State of Virginia. All the
Virginia dailies have p.inted long de-
tailed stories of it, aud il is still on
everp mans lips. 1t is regarded a. the
greatest political sensation which has
shaken Virginia for many day.
What will be it's consequence;-en-
couragement and greater determine
ton than ever to defeat Senator Martin
for reelection next year and theI eby
smash the Virginia machine within
the Democratic party ami avoid the
danger of a republican victory.
It is known that Senator Martin
feels the danger. Old politicians,
here to attend the state COMMITTEES
meeting, declare that the Norfolk
mass mee ting has created the crisis
in the senior Senator's political career
The talk of opposition to Martin and
Swanson does not subside. Some
regard it as premature, bat admit
that the Norfolk mass meeting has
brought the matter almost to head.
Let us 20 q little slow in march,
ing out candidates to oppose the
two Senators ;at least wait until after
the investigation Of the Second dis
trict primary, advised R L. Ali
worth, of Eastville, and q member Of
the State Central committee. "For
ont of that primary investigation
may develop conditions which will
force another candidate in the race
other than Carter Glass or w. A.
Jones. That man is Harry st, George
Tucker, and it is probable that he and
Mr.. Jones will ne the men called upon
to lead the fight.
/. "There is statewide suspicion that
Tucker was defeated in the last guber
material primary by irregular prac-
tees, and that most of these practices
we're committed in the Second dis
trict. If fraud is shown in the Sec
ond district primaries, who can
say but that there will be demand
for Harry Tucker to enter the US.
Senatorial race to demand vindication?
It is pretty we'll known that Senator
Martin exerted his influence to defeat
Tucker, and Tucker with the battle
cry that he was counted out in the
gubernatorial primary, and that .
United States Senator left his high
office to help defeat him, would set
the state atlre. Jones and Tucker
stumping the state in favor of fair
and honest pri naries would make q
strong team

A RICH CITY

Staunton real property has increas-
ed in one year considerably over half
million dollars. We knew it would be
so. We have felt it in the air for some
time. The town has SO much to give
it values. Empty store houses, an
empty hotel, and other conditions
have so much in them to make values
go higher, we are surprised at the
moderation shown in the assessment.
Not only will our people have the
pleasure of increased taxation so far as
the city is concerned, but it will be
possible for us to assist further in ar
ranging salaries for new officers, and
pay of Especial Counsel" when the
Legislature meets again.
The net increase in one year is 1898,
1G6 AT that rate, in few years, we
will be SO wealthy we will hardly
know what TO do with our money. A
wonderful city is Staunton.

TO HUNT INDIANS

1t is 1uet as well Tor the Indians
lurking in and about the wilds Of
Huntington and Charleston, w. Va,
that two young Buffalo Bills were
disentrained on the arrival of No i
Friday night, upon long distance
phone request from one of their pat
ernal ancestors in New. York.
The boys Carl Kohler and Irving
Isabel, aged II and ID respectively,
were two of party of five, the others
being Harold Whitfield, Henry Ran
and Clifford Hendricks, who had plan
ned this expedition against the Red
skins for some time, but the latter
three suffering from an acute attack
Ct "cold feet'' as the former express
ed it, failed to keep their contract,
but assured the pioneers that they
would follow in the spring.
It is rem arkable that two little boys
couldn't slip out of New York at 80
p. m. and get more than nine hours
distant without being intercepted.
Their fathers however, Chas. Kohler,
1871 w. 105 St.. and Irving J. Isabell
500 W.1l1th st. prominent in the bust
ness life Of the metropolis, were soon
on their track and Chief of Police
Lipscomb started home with them on
No. at / 80 Yesterday morning.
The boys spent the intervening
hours in the police headquarters
en- North New street. They were
wide awake bright little chaps and en-.
tertained delightfully."- few cops and
the DISPATCH reporter with tales of
their adventures en- route. They took
their detention as good joke and
seemed to think the determination of
savages as funny as did anybody else.
They were well dressed city boys,
their neat little leather handbags dis
playing every mark of well to do par
entage and their shooting irons rousing
envy in the hearts of the cops In this
line their equipment consisted of a
Remington double derringer, calibre
"A, 80 calibre self acting revolver
and a French cavalry revolver of
about 16 m. m. bore, very viscious
looking and well:calculated to increase
the death rate among that fast ..disap-
pearing race. When asked about
their literature, Carl said they hadn't
been reading Desperate Desmond. hut
produced a novel in which not only
the principles. but even the women
and children were killed. Irving Isa-
bell, the oluer, but the smaller of the
two boys, said he had uncles and
aunts and cousins and things in Hunt
lngton who might be relied on for a
grubstake in case of starvation facing
the outfit. They were schoolmates
in New York both being in the seventh
grade. The older one, Irving Isabel,
being decorated with medal he had
captured in 90 yd. dash in the ath.
letic contest of his school.
The little audience of cops and
were sorry when the time
came for their departure, their ''Down
East" brogue and wide-awake, alert
manner, together with the interesting
little accounts of their exploits, pro-
ducing no end of merriment to the
easy going Inhabitants of this '.Down
South" town.

FOR aaoRr. yupcEs


Andrew Price, Esq, an attorney Of
the Marlinton Bar, advocating an in
crease in the number of Supreme Court
Judges in w. Va. from to Z. and di-
viding the work, in differing from tn e
position of the Greenbrier Independ-
cnt, which opposes the constitutional
amendment, in part says:
"Your reference to the Supreme
Court of Virginia as compared To our
Supreme Court for promplness in de-
Gliding cases, is not altogether just to
the West Virginia court. l. have count
ed the cases published from both
Courts in the last five volumes of the
Southeastern Reporter, which publish
es all the cases decided by either
Court. These volumes cover a period
from December 26, 1903, to June 4, 1910.
In that. time the Virginia Court dis
posed Of two hundred and fOrty-six
cases, and the West Virginia Court
disposed of two hundred and seventy
one.o
The difference in the number of cases
disposed of is not great. The Virginia
Court keeps close to its docket, and no
doubt would have decided more cases
if they had been before it. We learn
The w. Va. Court is one year behind.
That Court works faithfully, we know,
and has many new and knotty prob
lens before it. The Legislature of that
State is constantly making new bust
ness. The State is being governed
vastly more than is necessary, and thi
puts a lot of work on the Court, often
unnecessary, often of most laborious
character.
The writer makes the following COM
parison. He says:
"kesides it is hardly fair to compare
the business of West Virginia with
that of Virginia. We have great in
duStrial State not to be compared with
Virginia's condition of inocuous desue-
tude, where if you put a dollar in cir
culation in its agricultural commune
ties you can follow its wake for q
week."
Writers, especially those who take
the stump, sometimes have visions.
They see much that can be found only
in the imagination. The writer is
subject to these visions. If he believes
that West Virginia's great 'sindustri.
al" progress is SO far beyond the ''in.
ocuous desuetude" of old Virginia, he
need but study the census reports and
grow wise. We regret that the dockets
of the w. Va. Courts are SO crowded,
and that SO much sbusiness remains
tied up that new courts must be Great.
ed and more judges set to work. But
Virginia has no section wherein there
has been created "courts civil" and
"courts criminalu in the same terrific
~. She has no section where four OF
five hundred criminal cases crowd out
the civil business, and she rejoices that
she has not prospered in that line. II
West Virginia's Supreme Court could
be SO arranged that a portion of il
would handle the ''civil" and another
portion the s'criminaP' docket, as is
done by her in many counties, the
problem would solve itself. The GRIM
inal court would be busy, we admit,
but the present court could handle the
civil docket with ease. A new tribu-
nal to handle the criminal docket
we believe, everybody ought to
favor.

'BELl HOPS"

Col. Fred. Funston, whose malodor-

left bad taste in the public mouth, gets
to the front occasionally, but never in
a fashion to elicit admiration. This
time we learn he left hotel in Kansas
City because the bell boys were attired
In U. s. uniforms. He is reported to
have said
SIT is true that after being two hours
In hotel in Kansas City last Monday,
paid my bill and walked out after
notifying the hotel that 1 did not pro.
pose to stay at house whose bell hops
were attired in the insignia of United
States army captains"
We are glad che paid his BILL" So

OPPOSITION BREWING

There is now forming q determine
ton on the part Of Virginia Democrats
to get out .Team" to oppose the
Martip-SwansOn team for the United
States Senate next time It is well
known that our next legislature will
select TWO United States Senators. 1t
is further well known that team
composed of Martin and Swanso is
now on the track, and have pooled
their issues. The feeling of many Vir-
ginians is that that '.team" should be
and can be beaten. There is just now
a stronger feeling of that kind than
ever before, and in little while more
will be head of it. The reorganization"
has heard of it, and whilst not alarm
ed as yet over the possibilities, their
beds arenot ''as soft as downy pillows
are" They already have heard sounds
and mutterings. The Norfolk affair,
coming as it does Oh the heels of the
combine with the Anti-Saloon League,
and the subs eun maiodorous prima-
ry election, has sti.rtd ihe public and
they are not going to sit idly by and
see offices parceled out and salaries
created for any. set of favorttes, or par
ty manipulators.
Now what will come of this we are
not apprised. This seems TO be the
psychological moment, if there ever
can be such moment.
The men whose names are most
prominent as those who may likely be
in the field, or from whom team can
be picked 10 oppose the already exist
ing team, are: VIM. A. Jones, Henry
G. Stuart, Carter Glass, Harry st. Geo.
Tucker, Andrew Jackson Montague,
and possibly W:.!tcn Moore. These
can be coupled UP rs ',.st suits the vo-
tiers. But out of ,licnl there is almost
sure to be a team chosen. They are

REPEATING HISTORY

There are many living who remem-
Der peddlers who used to come along
with plaster of paris ornaments, if
such word could apply, carried by
them in frame work over their heads.
The bits of plaster were in the shape of
dogs, lambs, parrots and possibly vases
The peddler would come to the houses
by the wayside, take down his load
and exhibit his wares. A few houses
in the country may yet contain some
OF the trinkets' purchased from those
peddlers. The only recent case of this
kind now recalled, or repeating that
ancient history, isthat of Sc nator Ma.
than Bay Scott of West Virginia, who
is manufacturer of glass wares. He
packed load into the senate during
the recent tariff debate and in that
manner of his which is extensively
coarse, and quite brazen aad intensely
common and vulgar, he plead for a
tariff on his curios, just as the Ital-
ian peddler used to, for the sale of his
wares. Aldrich and Guggenheim
worked in their tariff schedules in a
refined and polished manner poor old
Nathan knew nothing about.
A mass of putrid flesh found in DR..
Crippen's residence in London, has
been held by coroner's jury to be
Mrs. Crippen, deceased. In the mass
Of flesh poison has been found, and the
same jury has decided that this poison
was administered to these remains of
Mrs. Crippen by the hand of DR.. Grip
pen whilst she, the said Mrs. Crippen,
was alive and well. There seems lit
tie now for any other jury to do.

exclusive features secured only by the

trezn1e youth of these boys, being but
9 and IL years old respectively. this
was quite an accomplishment Another
interesting item Is a panoramic view
Of the Metropolitan tower, the talIest
building in the world. Ex-President
Roosevelt is prominent in this picture
all the way through and it has been
pronounced by eminent critics to be
the best parade picture ever taken ir,
