If the purposoe of the manufactn.
ers' association in compiling and dis
playing the accident statictics with
reference to farming was to excuse
the high percentage of accidnts in
their own business, it's action is .
mistake.
If farming is especially dangerous
then enlightened intelligence and CON
seriousness must work to lessen its
peril. This intelligence and con
seriousness is already at work witt
respect to the great industrial enter
prises where even if the injuries arg
not so large in the aggregate tnaI
are, because of totally different cOf1
ditions and surroundings, more Sef]
Gus in effect, producing greater suns
ing and want. III
The necessity of lowering the hSp
rercentaage of accidents in these s+1
terpFises is urgent. The WorKmVl'
COMPENSATION laws that are being el
acted in a number of States are CUI
ductive to this end, as is also tne 10.

HOTEL GATES.

r. .HE veranda of the Hotel Gates
i is crowded with guests listen
ing approximately to some dreamy
waltz played effectively by, the
orchestra. You enter the cool,
spacious, well furnished lobby,
catching a glimpse, perhaps, of
many pretty girls and well groom
ed men on the smooth floor of the
ball room, or of the immense
dining room with it's long vista.
of snowy-clad and flower decked
tables-and your first impression
of the Hotel Gates is not only a
pleasant but a lasting one. You
breathe an atmosphere Of "know
how te.care for the tourist, and
it is as welcome as an oasis in some
parched desert is to the tired
traveller.
A longer acquaintance with the
Hotel Gates but strengthens your
impression. No detail which
may contribute in any degree to
the guests comfort or pleasure is
lacking, and this, possibly, is the
keynote to the hotels unqualified
! success as the summer hotel of
Western North Carolina.
But you have registered, and
not inclined to try the broad, easy
stairs reaching the floors above,
you step into a modern electric
passenger elevator and whiz! you
are out again on the second or
third floor, into a pleasant lobby
and following the neatly uniform
ed attendant along wide, thick
carpeted halls to your room.
Here you find a big, generous
brass bed that simply spells sweet
slumber all over it. The windows
are large and invite a view of the
surrounding mountains, the cleo
trio bulbs are properly placed, the
chairs comfortable. In short, the
bed room is properly furnished
and if you wish you may have such
a one with a bath adjoining.
But now the inner man demands
attention, and soon in the white
dining room you are being served
skilfully by swift-footed walters.
You find the surroundings of
white clad tables, glistening furn-
lishings and the faint odor of many
flowers in no wise lessons your ap-
petite. And you will find a.
abundance of everything with
which to satisfy that appetite.
Opening from the lobby with its
great mission chairs, you see the
ladies' waiting room and the
ladies' parlor-cool and pleasant.

Again the free Democrat has his
party loyalty constantly impeached
simply because he denOunces the un-

Machine. The Machine leader votes
oftener in the U. S. Senate for Re-
publican principles than any Demo-
crat of that body except the protect
zionist Senators of Louisiana and yet
he is still the very body of Demo-

is Republicanism.
Ask Only Fair Play
We would save the party, ask only
fair play. We would cleanse our
own house before it is cleansed as
in Kentucky and Tennessee. The
free Democrats ask only fair play.
They ask that all unfair methods
be stopped; but they will never be
stopped by a few men drunk with
power and utterly contemptuous of
the peoples rights. The directors
of the Machine have misdirected. the

years of Ring rule is enough.

Sergeant of said city as required by

Sergeant of said city as required by
the Constitution and Laws of this
State, the result of said election
would have been different.
Your complaiannts aver and
charge that there are other gross ir-
Irregularities which would be suffi-
cient to show said election was un-
due, null and void, but your COM
plainants are advised and believe
that the failure of the Treasurer,
and the Clerk to certify the list as
required by the Constitution and
Laws of this Commonwealth, and the
failure of the said Sergeant to post
list as required by the Constitution
and Laws, is manifestly sufficient to
establish the fact that said election
was undue, irregular, null and void.
In consideration whereof your
complainants pray that the said cleo
tion may be declared to be an undue
election, illegal, null and void, that
the said returns thereof may be de-
clared to be false and that the same
may be set aside and annulled.

DRYS TO CONTEST ON
TECHNICAL GROUNDS

Basing their action on technical
grounds the drys yesterday sprung
a general surprise by filing notice OF
a contest of the election held here on
August 1 to decide the question Of
licensing or not licensing the saloon.
which resulted in wet victory by
majority of 1O3 votes.
The complainants aver that the re-
quirements governing such elections
were not complied with and give six
specifis reasons in support of their
charge. The papers were filed by
Attorneys Blease and Mccoy.
Here follow the six reasons why
the drys charge the election of Au-
gust 1, was ..an undue election, and
was illegal, null and void:"
81. Because the Treasurer of the
City of Staunton did not file, as re-
quired by the Constitution and Laws
of this State, five months before the
regular election to be held in said
city in December, 1911, with the
Clerk of the Corporation Court for
said city list of all persons in the
City of Staunton who had paid, in
the manner prescribed by law, not
later than six months prior to said
election, the State poll taxes re,
quired to be paid by the Constitution
and Laws of this State for three
years prior to the year 1911, and
the said Clerk of said court did not
make and certify the copies of said
list which he was required by law
to make and certify, within the time
prescribed by law, and did not de-
liver copies thereof to the Sergeant
of the of Staunton within the
time b - required by the law to
delive ame.

Elections
And as to elections: Does not the
voice of the viva voce ballot still
linger to drown the fraudulent babel
in the primaries in several places in
Virginia? He makes no charge of
fraudulent elections; but he does as
sert that very large number of the
best people in Virginia believe that
our primaries were not honestly or
fairly conducted in many places; and
he declared that it was not sufficient
for elections to be honest, but the
people must believe them to be hon
est. We must provide things honest
in the sight of all men, and we could
harly-come within this scriptural rule
if the Machine names, as it has done.
nearly every Judge in the primary
elections, and if the State Commit
tee declines, as it has done, to inter-
fere by recommendation or otherwise
