curing not only recognition but hon
ors at the hands of woman suffragists,
as @as conclusively shown at the an
nual meeting of the District Equal Suf-
fTage Association held at Lockwood
Hall, ORG F street, last night, when for

third vice presidents, respectively.

president; Helen Calking. corresponding
secretary; Florence Etheridge, recording
secretary; Carrie E. Kent, treasurer;
Harriette ]. Hilton and May l. Talbot,
auditors; Helen Rand Tindll, executive

Nearly everything was touched upon,
from the Italo-Turkish war to oleomar-
garine and high-priced butter. A resoIu-
tion was passed protesting against Italy
making war on Turkey. Complaint was
made that Italy, being one Of the sigma
tory powers of The Hague peace treaty,
did not submit her differences to the ar
bitration court. The resolution also
stated I'VE trust that no government will
consent to recognize any annexation of
territory by Italy, but that all will in

tration."

Burleson to assist him in his fight to
repeal the law imposing tax on oleo-

resolution, which was re-
ferred to a committee of five:

purity of which is readily ascertained
and easily secured, and which is pro-

association become a member of the

government, and that is really the
meaning of the initiative and referen-
dunn and the recall. The initiative and
referendum supercedes no State Leg
islatures, as is claimed by some.
They merely provide the people n
means of securing laws which legis-
latures refuse to enact and of defeat
ing nudesired laws which legislatures
do enact. The technical work of
drafting measures should be perform
ed by men of skill in that particular,
but the people, as whole, are the
best judges of principles invol> ed and
can be trusted to pass upon the
merits. Why should Democrat OBJ
ject to the people having this power =?
What objection can there be to the
officials of all, including judges, who
prove dishonest or untrue after get
ting into office. Such law would i'm
prove the character andhonesty of our
officials very much. There is no
reason in government like ours, why
any officials, be he judge or any other
ocffier, should be above the people, in
whose hands is supposed to rest all
political power. No Judge should be
appointed for life, unless the people
be given the right to remove him by
the recall if he goes wrong. Such a
law would kane judges more careful
in their decision.
About the only objection worth con-
sidering that we have seen advanced
against the recall as applied to
judges, is that it would make tn m
subservient to popular clamor and
cause them to render biased decisions
for fear of being removed. This posi-
tion is not tenable from the fact that
Judge who will yield to popular
clamor will also yield to the wishes
and interests of political boss or a
trust magnate. On the other hand,
the recall would keep such judges
straight. Beieveing in the recall will
not hurt Wilson with the people, how
ever it may hurt him with those
newspapers that are afraid to trust
the people.

WILL THE DEMOCRATS
NOMINATE?

Will the Democrats call a conven-
ton? The party has no candidate for
clerk, sheriff, Legislature or Senate,
in this District or the county. There
are four candidates for Commissioner
of the Revenue in the county. Oppo-
sing them are four Republican can
didates. Will the Democrats sit still
-"lay down" and let everything go
by default?At this writing it looks as
though this is exactly what they are
going to do. There are two kinds of
Democrats, as there are two kinds of
Republicans, viz: Democrats from
pinciple, and Democrats for Revenue
only. The first named are always here,
hay or no hay. They are ready to con-
tend for the faith, day and night, win
or lose. The other class are the
Revenue" hunters. They don't care
to fight unless there is certainty of
victory. They are loyal, good fellows,
but they do not care to waste time"
on a losing fight. We have both
classes in every community. We have
them of course in Tazewell, and will
awlays have them, but it is unfortu-
nate for the party that this class are
in the majority, here it seems. We
will get no more than we fight for in
this life, in politics as in every thing
else. The Democrats of this county
are loyal crowd. They have stood
many storm but the trouble with
many of them is they are not aggres
sive fighters all the time. They figh
by spells. There should be conven
ton of the party held at once, and al
effort made to hold the party togeth
err, solid. To turn thighs loose thi
promising year, and let the voter
drift wherever they may will be
bad thing for them and the party il
future. 1t would be better for tn
party to have a meeting and endors
candidates of the opposite party a
theirs than to have no candidates Il
all.

WILL PAY BIG DIVIDENDS

Tazewell will spend about SIS, :
600 OF more this present season for
expenses Of the boys and girls who
are going away to school. This will
be money well spent no doubt. 1t all
depends upon the boy and girl them
selves. They can waste this money
and their time in idleness or extrav-
eagce or both, il they are so disposed.
Much depends upon the discipline and
standard of the school, but still more
upon the pupils themselves. The best
of reports are expected from these
bright boys and girls of Tazewell. BY
the way-how many of these boys anC
girls might not have spent year o,

Shall The People Rule?

Orangeburg. S. c., Democrat: One
of the objections on the part of some
of the newspapers to Woodrow Wilson
as a Presidential candidate is his adj
vocacy of the initiative, referendum
and recall, three of the things that
Bryan has advocated for many years.
and which have been adopted in some
of the Western States, and will be
adopted in all the States before many
years. Why any true Democrat should
oppose either of these things we can
not understand except on the theory
that he believes the people have not
sense enough to manage the affairs of
the country and therefore cannot be
trusted.
We do not blame anyone who is
afraid to trust the people for oppos-
ing these reforms, for their adoption
would give the people great power
and would enable them to control
public affairs absolutely.
Believing as we do that under the
political system which has been built
up IN this country, the government is
not truly representative and will not
be until the people have the power to
make 1t SO, we are heartily in favor
OF the adoption of the initiative, the
referendum and recall. In other words,
we are in favor of giving .sthe people
the fullest, and most complete power.

officials they elect.

The People Have Spoken

Eighty thous and white men in Vir-
ginia voted for United States Sena-
tors at the Democratic primary cleo
tion OH Thursday. There were four
candidates in the feld-Martin, Swan
son, Jones and Glass. In round num-
bers, fifty thousand votes were cast
for Martin and Swanson and twenty
thousand for Jones and Glass. The
majority for Martin and Swanson was
approximately thirty thousand. There
is no charge of fraud in the conduct
of the election; there is no question
that the majority of the successful
candidates was in the neighborhood
of thirty thousand.
The campaign was one of the most
bitter in the history of Virginia. The
methods adopted by the opposition to
the machine" candidates, as Martin
and Swanson were described, were
unfortunate. The washing of the soil
ed linen of the Democratic party has
not reflected honor unon the party or
the State, the v. ISIS f many
of the speeches de ,ered during the
campaign against the incumbent SEN
ators contributed nothing to the dig
nifty and effectiveness of the fight
made against them, and exposed this
State and its political condition to the
reproaches of the whole country. We
say now. as we said before the cam
paign begun, that there are many in
Virginia outside the machine" who
would confer distinction upon the
Commonwealth in any great position
of national Importance to which they
might aspire, such men for example,
as Colonel Archer Anderson, Caperton
Braxton, Eppa Hunton, jr, and others
of their general type, and it 8 the
duty of such men to manifest them
selves in the political life of the
State. The election on Thursday was
decisive as to the wishes of the white
people of Virginia on the senatorial
question, and we shall wish for Mr..
Martin and Mr.. Swanson great success
in their work in Washington for the
benefit of the State. We regret that
the campaign which has just closed
caused so much bitterness of feeling
in the State. and we accept the yer
dict of the people in good faith. What
IS needed now is constructive work,
the burying of animosities, the educa-
ton of the people into larger and
better appreciation of political issues,
so that when the next contest comes,
as come contests will and must, we
shall be able to divide upon issues
rather than upon men.-Times Dis

A Perfectly Natural Result

When two men like Jones and Glass
start on campaigns like theirs were
against two such men as Martin and
Swanson are, the better plan for them
to pursue would be to lay out about
ten different schemes, ask some disin-
terested person to select the most
sensible one, and then cut all the
others out. They did the opposite
thing and their reward is the perfect
ly natural one. When they first inau-
gurated their fight it was believed
they had issues to stand upon State
wide prohibition appeared to be one
of them. For perfectly feasible reas-
ons they abandoned that as an issue
and several other apparently popular
ones, with reckless and inexcusable
bad judgment chose defamation of
character instead of important State
issues. The very first speech of Mr..
Jones awakened disgust for his
methods and made friends for the
man whose good name he bitterly as
sailed. That's where the love of
honest dealing and fair play came in
and got their work in against him.
From that time to the reading of
stolen private letters, which meant
nothing in the world for him, he con-
tinued to lower his standard in the
opinion of the people and he, and his
running mate, and their questionable
way of campaigning, have simply
been laid down on the ground and
jumped upon with both feet. -Abing-
don Virginian.
