THE SUPERVISORS

With the exception of Clear Fork
district, the people of the county
have not yet agreed on candidates for
Board of Supervisors. The Supervis-
ors elected this fall will have more
responsibilities upon them than any
other Board has had for years. In
case of a contest for the office in
either of the magisterial districts
there is danger that men who are not
qualified for the place will be elected.
The citizens of Clear Fork lave ex-
pressed themselvs as being favorable
to c. A. Wagner, of Bluestone, for
reelection as Supervisor from that
district. Mr. Wagner's selection as
the member from that district was
made regardless of his political be-
liefs. His ability to handle questions
of magnitude is recognized, and his
election assured without opposition.
In Jeffersonville district Mr.. Fullen
Thompson has been suggested by sew
eral of his friends as candidate for
reelection, but in Maiden Spring dis
trict the people have not yet decided
on man. C. B. Neel, w. b. F..
White, Albert Mcclure, j. b. Crab
tree and others have been suggeste
for the office, either of whom possess
the needed ability to acceptably fill
the office.
Would it not be we'll for the people
of Jeffersonvile and Maiden Spring
to get together, decide on good men
and avoid political fight. A major
ity of the people of the county are
favorable now to progress and devel-
opment, and the political party who
puts forward weak and inefficient men
can expect them to be beaten at the
polls.

The Trial

Some years ago large sum of
money was taken from the East In
dian mail on the road. Suspicion fell
upon Rama, one of the runners, but
proof of his guilt was wanting, and
resort was had to an aged Brahmin,
said to possess occult powers and to
hold communion with the gods.
All the mail carriers were hidden
to meet the Brahmin at the temple of
Mahadeo. The temple had long been
abandoned as place of worship, and
bore an evil reputation. The hour Sc
lected was twilight, and the dense
shadows grave the place weird, un-
canny look.
The old Brahmin was busily NUT
tering lamentations at the approach
of the party of Englishmen,, on whose
the story Is told, and all
the men seemed to be more or less
under the spirit of the hour. The

The Cancerous Fee System

We think it is not too much to say
that Virginia today is carrying an
absolutely useless and inexcusable
load of expense by the continuation
of the fee system for the payment of
many public officer. Such system
has enriched the few at the expense
of the many. There are court clerks.
treasurers and sheriffs who would not
from financial standpoint, trade po-
sitions with cabinet members. These
fees on which they have grown fat
come directly from the pockets of the
people. We are not of those who
would cut down the emoluments of
public office to bare living salary.
We believe that the pay should be
sufficient to attract efficient men, but
such compensation should be absolute
ly fixed by law, and such fees as NAV
be found proper to impose should be
urned into the public treasury. =

editor of the Chicago Record Herald,
made the not altogether surprising
statement that 500, 600 had been
used to elect Lorimer. He said also
that Edgar Hines, millionaire lum-

election and that efforts had been
made to collect the money, after the
lection, from ten wealthy persons in
the State. Only about 1000 has
been accounted for in the confessions
of various members of the Legislature
who voted to elect Lorimer and the
special committee will make an effort
to secure further information. Mr..
Hines and others will be called to the

ISSUES NOT MEN

The Lynchubrg News, in its issue
of Tuesday morning, in commenting
upon the communication in the last
issue of the ClinchValley New s about
the evil effects of the primary, states
among other things Tin referring to
the State Democratic organization)
that
the entire policy of these gentle
men is one of hostility to agitation 4;
hostility to publicity; hostility to
methods whereby Democrats may be
informed as to the true condition o
their party-and as to the evils which
now poison the administration of the
parties affairs. -
This paper has always favored n
primary as the only method of deter
mining the peoples choi:e for State
and Federal officers. AS the primaries
have been conducted in Virginia,
however, since its inauguration few
years ago, the methods adopted by
some of the candidates for public
office have fallen to such n plane that
many people have. become disguised
with the whole scheme and unless is
sues and not men are discussed in the
future revolt can be expected. Vir-
ginia is one of the best governed
States in the union, its officials are
able and efficient, it's Supreme Court
ranks with the highest in the country
and from the evidence at hard it's
representatives in Washington serve
their constituents faithfully and a
majority of the people are willing to
let we'll enough alone.
If the candidates for office wish to
help the people of Virginia they can
io so more effectively by an able dis
cussion of the means by which this
can be attained than by personal
abuse and villifcation.

Plutocratic and Aristocratic is
Morning Paper, Charges Bryan


Mr.. Bryan, in the Commoner, re-
plying to an editorial in the Times
Dispatch, talks about the paper and
its editorship as follows:
On another page will be found an
editorial from the Richmond Times
Dispatch, entitled, Bryan Still After
Martin. -
The Times Dipsatch tries to be Sc
we're; it uses the words Infamous"
Outrageous, impudent," eds
graceful, " etc, but it forgets that it's
hostility is badge of honor and that
its praise arouses suspicion among
real Democrats. Mr.. Martin cannot
feel happy in company with Brother
Hemphill, for, however congenial the
two may be, Mr.. Martin has too much
, political sagacity to think that the
support of the Times Dispatch will
aid him in his fight for reelection.
The blade of the Times Dispatch s
knife was covered with Democratic
blood before Brother Hemphill's fin
gers had stained the handle. The
Times Dispatch looked at public ques-
tions from plutocratic standpoint
before Editor Hemphill infused his
aristocratic instincts into its editorial
columns. The Times Dispatch has ex-
erted a Supplying influence on the
party for years, but Brother Hemp
hill has converted the paper from an
anesthetic into deadly poison.
If Congressman Jones can only OBJ
tain a photograph of Senator Martin
and Editor Hemphill standing togeth-
er, and circulate it, it ought to insure
the senator's retirement. If there
was any doubt of Senator Martin Is
unfitness for the high position which
he now holds, that doubt has been re-
moved by the enthusiastic endorse
ment given him by the Times Dis
