Slippery Politics

II the Clinch Valley News was half
as smart as it is meddlesome, it
would cease trying to bambuozle the
Republicans of Tazewell county by
making gratuitous suggestions as to
how they are managing and how they
should manage their party affairs. In
every recent election for county off
GERS the News has tried this same
game; but its insiduous purpose has
been so apparent that Republicans
have laughed at the ludicrous stupid
ty which the News has exhibited its
fruitless efrorst to get up friction be-
tween Republicans.
In the issue of the Clnch VALLEY
News of the 4th instant there appear-
ed AN editorial: County Politics F."
which is the most artlessly artful en-
deavor it has made to mislead and de.
ceive the Republicans of the county.
We reproduce that article in another
column and ask every Republican in
Iazewell county to carefully inspect
1t, and see how easy it will be to fird
the cloven hoof in every line thereof
The effort of the News to draw
distinction between the Republicanism
OF Mr.. Barns and DR.. Greever, both of
whom are candidates as Republicans
Tor the county clerkship, is extremely
absurd. One is called a "Standnat
Republican" and the other is named
an 'lnsurgent Republican.
Last year the News and the other
Democrats generally undertook with
evil intent to classify Republicans in
the Ninth District in the same wav
DR.. Greever was then as Jealous a
supporter of Mr.. Slemp as was MIR.
Barns, and both were at that time
what the News calls "Standpat,
Republicans. And the very eviden
desire of the News to keep both Mrt
Barns and DR.. Greever in the field a
republican candidates, with the sues
gestions that the Democrats will di-
vide their votes between them is a.
paipable trick, as is proven by the
declaration of the News:
One thing is certain: should it oc.
cur Tor any reason, that DR.. Greever
should come off the ticket, the Demo-
crats VIII put up man against the
machine candidate and give him n
lively race"
but the extreme solicitude of the
O''hch valley News and the TazeweIl
democrats over the "peculiar,' mo-
liticai situation in this county has al
reasy been discounted by the Repbli-
cans. On last Thursday the Repubi-
can committee for this county met at
Iazewell and ordered that conyen-
Ilon be called to meet at Tazewell ON
the End OF September for the purpose
VI nominating candidate for clerk
'1 the circuit court. That convention
VIII be held, will select candidate.
md the Republicans will rally. as
to the candidate of their
'arty. Then let the Democrats make
ZOO the threat of the News and nut
~ their candidate, and we promise
nat the licking the Republicans will
i've him will be as complete as the
ace will be lively.
Everybody can see through the
transparent scheme of the Democrats
keep two Republican candidates in
ne race and to avail themselves of
ne opportunity to slip Democrat

BY SLIPPERY POLITICS

We publish elsewhere an editorial
from our neighbor, The Tazcwell Re-
publican, entitled "Sippery Poll
tics, subject with which said
neighbor has been somewhat familiar
for many years.
The party to which it belongs and of
which it is devoted advocate has
maintained itself in power for MANY
years by methods and means acknowl-
edged to be at least sometimes "Slip-
perry. The slippery" nature and
condition of the G. O. p has become
so much so within the past few wears
as to be quite noticeable. The party
has slipped nearly out of sight, clear
down to the bottom of the hill. Our
friend evidently feels that politics is
slippery proposition.
The article on "Slippery Politics"
was written evidently before the arti-
Gle of DR.. Greever's was seen, else
surely it would not have appeared in
its present form. We ask our readers
all to read the editorial on "Sippery
Politics. and then read DR.. Greever's
proclamation, as published in that
same paper last week on front page.
and republished in the News this
week
The Clinch Valley News is charged
with being meddlesome, and
making gratuitous suggestions to
the Republicans as "as to how thov
should manage their affairs. 1" An eff
ort to mislead and deceive, etc. and
that the Republicans have laughed
at the ludicrous stupidity which the
News has exhibited its fruitless eff

publicans. -

Whenever you hear a man abusing
the churches and protesting Christians
just investigate little and see
whether he is doing as much to help
the suffering and distressed as the
people he is abusing are doing. The
protesting Christians may be cosider-
ably hypocritical, and still be much
better man than the blatant blasphe-
mer. Besides, many of the loudest
'cussers" are deceivers of the worst

BIG PILL DOCS MEET
Talk of Scientific Things,
but Let Alone Some
Interesting Topics.

The big pill docs Of the Mis-
souri, valley held their annual
conclave in Omaha during the
week, and much scientific CUFF
was dispensed. II was a
regular highbrow gathering
and full of good cheer for the
men who call your funny bone
by a Latin name fourteen syl-
tables long.
The program was replete
with subjects for addresses on
topics that have to do with
human ailments. real or i'm
aginary, plain and fancy sur
gerry and such. 1t is noticeable,
though, that the docs haven {
got 10 the point where they
will take up some of the
simpler propositions in which
the big mass Of their fellow
citizens might be interested.
Among these topics is fee
splitting. Down east a medi-
cal society has this on its
program, and after a full dis
cussion concluded that IL was
too big a topic for one body
to settle and passed II on to
some other.
To an outsider, one who
doesn't pretend TO know too
much about scientific medi-
cine, II would seem that the
simple way to dispose of the
fee splitters would be to agree
not TO split fees.
Let the docs amend their
ethical code by adding to the
rule one that prohibits adver-
Using. another that will pro-
hibit fee splitting. II they can
prevent advertising they ought
to prevent the other.

Held Up to the Clinging Vine
Girl.

you may not actively teach them, but they
can see what your strong and immediate
appeal 20 the tenderness and chivalry in
men wins.
Carl who has the strength to support,
have you ever watched from your grown
up place Of power and strength, the bright
and snowy antics of a clever child? Its
keen mind charmed you. You enjoyed
hearing the baby lips lisp verses. You
reveled in the romplng play that revealed
the youngsters health But what won you
utterly? What swept your heart right out
of your bosom and laid it as a tribute at
the little feet? What brought a flood Of
tenderness to your whole being ex-
quisite that you thrilled and throbbed and
scared heavenward in IL? What? one little
nesting gesture, one instants pressure of
the golden head against your breast, one
divine second when the baby leaned for
love OF your strength against you, tsctily
putting himself in your protecting care
Do you wonder, then, that the girl, the
clinging vine who has the gift of this
exquisite surrender, wins strong men? Much
as they admire the bright, gay, clever,
strong girl. they, too like you, are really
captured by. the girl who knows how to
trust herself to them. to express love S
deepest meaning. why don't you learn
Strength can cling. And the willing clasp
of a vine that does not need support is
finer tribute to a man than the cling Of
mere dangler.
Men haven't any sense about these
things They cannot see what is good for
them Show them. Learn to attract them
with the tender grace of the clinging
vine. And you can keep them with the
strength that-well. IL seems to require
a good deal to make marriage last!

Men Who Helped to Make America

Peter stuyvesant, who became the gov
ernor of the Dutch province of the New
Netherlands, atterward New York. was
born in Friesland. in the Netherlands IN
1902.
His father was a clergyman but Peter
followed In the ways not of peace but or

He entered the Dutch military service
after his troubled school days, and soon
became director of colony OF the West
India company in the Caribbean sea and
subsequently became governor.
In an attack on a Portuguese island In
1874 ne lost a leg which he replaced with a
wooden leg mounted with silver. which
started the tradition that he wore silver
leg. He was then appointed governor OF
the New Netherlands, and when he ar
rived in New Amsterdam now New York
he found the colony in poor shape
His stern measures soon restored the
colony, but unfortunately for Stuyvesant,
he was forced by superior numbers to sur

land to vindicate himself, and returned TO
his farm at Bowerie. near the city of New
York, where he died in August, 1872

predecessors, being neither tranquil and

he never sought nor accepted the advice OF

truth. he wanted nothing more to complete
him as a statesman than TO think always
right, for no one can say but that he al

He was never a man TO finch when he
found himself in a scrape. but TO dash for
