Many Anxious to Open Bars

About dozen men have filed APP
plications to open saloons in the
city of Stanton, now that a major
ity of the people at that place have
voted in favor Of licensing the sale
OF liquor. Most of those who have
applied were in the business before
Stanton went dry two years ago.
No action will be taken on the APP
plications for licenses, however, I'M
til the courts decide the contest,
which has been made by the repre-
natives Of the Anti-Saloon League.

Meat is Going Way Up Again

A Chicago dispatch says the coun-
try at large is already beginning to
feel the effects OF the drouth in the
cattle raising country, and that a
big advance in the prices Of meat is
under way. Not only will last
years high prices in meat products
be equaled, but it is predicted new
records will be made.
There are practically no CRASHED
cattle being shipped into Chicago.
The continuous heated spell has
dried up the grazing, and the ami
mails received in Chicago have beer
in terrible condition, with practi
cally no meat on them.
A peculiar feature of the comine
high prices will be the fact that in
stead of the choicest cuts being -
fected, the cheaper beef will feel {,
advance quickest and will suffer th,
greatest increase.

HOT SHOT FOR MONTAGUE

Andrew jackson Montague is
the last man in the Common wealth
to utter any complaint against her
people. who have done so much for
him. And when say her people,
| mean the Democratic party, to
whose members he owes all the
political honors that have come to
him from his fellow citiz,ns OF Vir-
ginia.
This is the opening statement OF
Chairman ]. Taylor Ellyson # the
Democratic State Committee, whose
card appeared in Sundays papers.
Dir. Ellyson then proceeds to show
up the political record of eX-Gover-
nor Montague who was beneficiary
for many years Of the campaign
funds raised for use by the Demo
cratic Committee. EXTRACTS are
quoted from letters written by Mr..
Montague requesting the aid OF the
committee in a financial way.
Mr.. Eliyson declares that John
W. Daniel, Fitzhugh Lee, JOSEPH
Brvan. Bevel ley b. Munford anC
other men OF like character deemed
it important that they should len(
their personal assistance to tn

Old Veterans to Receive Pensions
Promptly

Virginia pensioners may rely this
year upon receiving their checks
promptly. According to a state
ment made Monday by Governor
Mann, there will be no delay in
paying pensions since the money is
on hand. 1t was found necessary
in 1910 to defer sending out the
checks, because OF the treasury,
and a good many of the beneticiaries
waited for several weeks to hear
from the Auditor of Public
Accounts.
The money necessary to pay the
pensions which are due in Septem-
Der, amounting to about 1870, 800 is
in the Treasury" said the Cover
nor yesterday. 1T is hoped to
have all the checks made out ready
to mail on September l. "

UNFAIR TO TEACHERS

1t would appear to us that the Di-
vision School Superintendents Of
Virginia. at tn ir meeting held re-
Gently in Farmville, made a mistake
when they adopted a resolution de-
nying the public school teachers of
the State the right to letters Of en-
dorsement from this body of school
men at the head of Virginia's edu-
cational system, who, above all
others, are in position to know the
qualifications of teachers.
1t is unfair and unjust to faithful
teachers TO deny them this right,
for it is their right, as it is the right
of every other employee who desires
to apply for better position. Not
only did the superintendent r.
solve to withhold deserved recogni-
tior, but they decided that they
would give private information to
each other concerning teachers who
applied for positions outside their
own districts.
Efficient teachers are entitled to
recommendation when they desire
it, and inefficient teachers should
not be endorsed to other superin-
tendents. Each superintendent
should be left free to act in accord
ance with justice and fairness. net
only 10 the teacher but also to his
fellow superintendent and the good
OF the schools at large.

Glidden Tourists to Pass Through
Lexington

The announcement made last week
that the Glidden tour for ISL would
be a fall tour to the Land of Dixie, y
and one that would be organized and
conducted along the lines originally
conceived by the donor of the tro-
ply, has met with enthusiastic and
universal approval from all sections
of the country, but especially from
the Southern States through which
the tour will pass.
The motorists will leave New
York on October IA, and are due to
reach Jacksonville on the 18th OF
that month. 1t is expected that
Winchester will be enc of the con-
troll points, and it is likely they
will arrive in Lexington on or about
October Is.
The route OF the National High
way affords a veritable lesson in
early American history. 1t passes
the battle6elds of Gettysburg and
Antietam and also the revolutionary
battlefield Of GuilfOrd Court House,
and follows TIE Shenandoah Valley,
which is replete with historic war
time sites and monuments. Emerg
ing from this beautiful valley, the
route passes directly across the
famous Natural Bridge of Virginia,
and south Of Roanoke there is noun
tain scenery a plenty, where one
gets in intimate touch with the
hardy Virginia mOuntaineer.
