Whiskey Rules Rockingham

Under the heading "Whiskey Rules
Rockingham, the Harrissonburg
News, Republican paper, has this
to say of the recent election in that
county in which the Republicans
swept the county:
Whiskey rules Rockingham.
Backed byssa liberal campaign fund
and aided by the Taft Hitchcock
forces at Washington, the "wets, {"
disguised as Republicans, swept al
most everything before them in this
county yesterday at an election for
legislative, county and district Off
GERS.
The Democratic ticket, which was
dry" from beginning to end, met
with the most vigorous opposition at
the hands of the saloon interests of
Harrissonburg, who feared in the
event of a Democratic victory, that
the county unit would at lentgh pre-
vail and that statewide bill would
in time be submitted to vote of the
people. Rockingham Record.

RUSSELL SOLID

The result of the election in Rus
sell county was no surprise. as it was
generally known that the Democrats
would sweep the county by large
majorities. The officers elected in the
county, and their majorities are as
follows:
Sheriff-Steel, 632; CIerk-Combs,
sos; Treasurer-Howard, 566; Leg
islature-Grant, 21S; Commissioner,
Eastern district-Hurt, 618; Western
district-Cross, 594. The Democrats
had no candidate for Commonwealth s
Attorney, the race being between
Routh and Griffith, both Republicans,
the result being 273 majority fol
Routh. c. R. Brown for the State
Senate carried the county by 800.
This election in Russell places the
county back in the Democratic party,
and from the majorities, for the nomi
nees it would seem that it was destin
ed to remain there.
E. H. Combs, who was elected
Clerk, is well known in Tazewell
| where he was student at Tazewel
college several years ago.

A PUZZLE FOR YOU

The result of The election is given
in this paper in tabulated form for
offices voted for in the entire county.
The table is study and puzzle.
We wish some one of our wise men
W ould anlayze and explain it for us.
We give it up. One thing is clear,
out of six or eight Democratic candi-
dates on the ticket only about two
were elected, viz: Daniels and Wag-
ner for Supervisors, and perhaps one
or two for minor Offices. The voting
was wild and irregular at nearly all
the precincts. Democrats and Repub-
licans split their tickets, snapped"
knitted, "took their spite out" re-
buked, etc. The vote was independent
and insurgent in both parties. Just
what it meant or may portend in the
future, is still mystery. The vote
shows one thing-the voters of the
county can be independent when they
chose so to be Will they remain so

about to lay brutal hold upon him
and with one terrific shock, blast
breath from body. All this. while
outside the prison portals, those who
love him are writing in the throes
of nameless agony. IT'S tragedy,
this-tragedy enacted under form
and guise of law. Certainly that
much is to be admitted.
And so many are asking, is there not
some better way?-some less cruel
alternative by which the ends of JUS
tice may be met?
Truly the question is vibrant with
pathos. One can we'll understand why
it is asked, and that in the asking
there is no discredit. 1t represents
really the impulse for better things.
1t embodies that scruple of conscience
which for centuries has been operat-
ing in the world for human liberation
from the dominion of senseless dogma
and the sway of barbarous practice at
the hand of government. And it has
accomplished much. 1t has really
brought the world out of the dark ag-
es. 1t has tended to Danish oppression
from every civilized nation of the
globe. 1t has made it so that no long
er in England as was the case a brief
era since, can mother be snatched
away from the infant nursing at her
bosom, and be consigned by law to
horrible death because by one act of
petty pilfering she sought to satisfy
the gnawing of fiercely pitiless star
walton. 1t has made it so in the Unit
ed States that no longer can women
be burnt at the stake for witchcraft.
Indeed it is this very force in public
opinion that has brought the country
to period when women are practi-
cally immune from legal execution,
however frightful be the crime they
commit. Nay more, it has prevailed
to the extent of causing the death
penalyt to be abrogated in one or
more States of the Union, and in one
or more nations of the world. So we
will do we'll not to estimate the sent
iment for the abolition of capital
punishment either as too feeble to
deserve attention, or too deeply par
taking of mandlin, morbid sympathy
to deserve respect. To our mind it
least betokens aspirations upward,
and convictions that are at least
clearly sprung and nobly nurtured.
This, although they stand as we think
they do, for change in public policy
that would prove inimical to the safe
ty of society, and the highest welfare
of the State. -Lynchburg News

Some one wants to know the value
OF pumpkins as food for stock. One
hundred pounds of pumpkins contains
about 80 lbs of water. 1-2 lb protein.
q LIZ lbs of carbohydrates and nearly
half pound of fat. Ordinary grass
contains about 80 lbs of water 3 1-2
lbs protein, 10 LIZ lbs carbohydrates
and a half pound of fat. This shows
that pumpkins will help out when
grass is short, and will do good, too,
IN the winter time. The milk COW and
hogs relish them.

COMPULSORY EDUCATION

->,~Lynchburg is the first city in the
state, we believe, to adopt n compul-
sorry educational school law. The Hill
City has taken the lead in move
ment which will become universal in
Virginia. The majority of the States.
we believe, already have the law.
The theory is unquestionably sound.
Its adoption in any given county,
toWh--or city will be governed by
local conditions. Compulsory educa-
ton means free school books, more
school buildings, more teachers, and
in many instances transportation
facilities for the pupils, to and from
school. Communities a dopting the
law must consider these things. If
the state has the right to compel par
ents and guardians to protect morally,
and physically, their children and
: wards, certainly they have the right
to dematd that Ignorance, one of
the chief <vices, shall be included in
the catalog of its authority. Some
months ago., the editor of this paper
in the exercise of his authority rs a
member of the Board of the Child
ren's Home Society, swore out n war
rant, and by law took several children
from relatives who were unable or
unwill ing to care for them, and turn
ed them over to DR.. Maybe. The
law steps in and protects the helpless
children of the State, and everybody
applauds. Let the law say, "you
shall not afflict your children with
ignorance, and deprive them of their
only chance" Good for Lynchburpi

The defeat of John T. Barns,
Chairman of the republican committee
of Tazewell county, by DR.. C w.
Greever, the independent republican
nominee, is considered by those who
profess to know, as strong rebuke
to ring rule in Tazewell county, and
a continuation of the fight, begun on
the 18th of last April, for progress
i've and modern administration of the
county's affairs. The effect of the
bond issue fight. wherein political
lines were forgotten, was apparent by
the election returns of Tuesday.
Many political bubbles were punctur-
ed Tuesday because of the opposition
to the bond issue, Notwithstanding
the fact that the bond issue is n
thing of the past, and was carried by
progressives OF both parties of the
county, regardless of politics.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT

There is considerable discussion now
going on in the papers of the State as
to abolishing the death penal ty in
this State, substituting life imprison-
ment therefor. The question came up
and was precipitated in the newspa-
pers by an effort now being made to
have the sentence of Beattie, the
wife murderer, committed to life i'm
prisonment. 1t is said that a promi-
nent physician of Richmond is getting
up petition which will be presented
to the Governor, asking for commuta-
tion, not on the ground of Beattie's
guilt or innocence, but on the ground
purely that capital punishment is
wrong from every standpoint. We
have thought and felt for years that
capital punishment is wrong, first
last and all the time. Why should the
State kill man? The State forbids
the taking of human life, why should
it do the self same thing which it
forbids. Of course, the object of the
death penalty is supposed to be RENE
dial-not punitive-to deter others
rather than to punish the guilty, but
does it deter? Do the statistics show
greater crime in those states where
the brutal, unchristian uncivilized
law has been abolished? No good can
be done man by killing him. Let
him pay the penalty of his crime. He
can pay. Confine him for life. Keep
him at some profitable employment
and let the surplus. over and above
MS support, go to the family of his
victim, if needed.
In this way society will be as com.
pietely rid of him as if he were dead
This method of disposin g of the crimi
nal is both punitive, remedial and
reiormatory; punitive, in that it
lashea to his body the dead body of
his victim and compels. him to carry
i with him in vivid recollection,
through life. 1t is remedial, as no
punishment is so great as isolation.
: Isl reformatory, in that another
hance" ia given to atone for sin.

Democracy Holds Its Own

Returns from the elections show no
strong swing back to the Republican
party throughout the country to offset
the heavy Democratic gains of last
year. There is nothing anywhere that
could be taken in an off year as coun-
ter balancing the election of Demo-
cratic House of Representatives or of
Democratic Governors in half dozen
Northern States that were regarded
as normally Republican.
In Mr.. Taft's own State the princi-
pal cities, Cincinnati, Cleveland and
Columbus, were captured by the Dem
ocrats. The defeat of Boss Cox's
candidate for Mayor in Cincinnati, in
whose behalf Mr.. Taft's letter of sup
port was used as partisan appeal, is
especially significant. Ohio remains
doubtful state in 1912.
In Massachusetts, where the tariff
was made an issue by Senator Lodge
to catch the vote of manufacturing
districts. Gov. Foss wins brilliant
victory. In the legislative fight in
New Jersey, Gov. Wilson had to meet
treachery in his own parry owing to
his opposition to the Essex County
machine.
The recovery of Kentucky by the
Democrats, with ex-senator McCreary
as their candidate for Governor, fixes
that State once more in the Demo-
cratic column.
AS a whole, the result of yester-
days voting is diseouraging 10 Mr..
Taft and the Republican party.-New
