From highly respected source we

tanning as we did that Mr.. Bryan's
occasional presence at Washington

more defensible than the presence of

in the behalf of the monopoly inter

that Bryan's active interest in Con-
gressional matters is calculated to
prejudice the prospects for Democrat
ic victory in 1912-and that we
should think of the matter from that

Nothing Obscure About 1t

1--WE know that whatever the
views of our friend they are honestly
conceived, honestly entertained and
fearlessly expressed. With all the
more regret and concern therefore do
we now note that the Clinch Valley
News not only clearly apprehends the
direction in which Democratic poll

it puts in its oar to accelerate the
movement. "-Lynchburg News.

the light. -Clinch Valley News.
The context of the editorial from
which the Clinch Valley News quotes
affords all the light that could reason
ably be required. The Lynchburg

Iaft's Democratic Appointments.
Blackstone Coprier.)

Blackstone CoDrier.)
The appointment by President Taft
of another Democrat to an important
position is causing much comment in
the press of the country and many
nice things are being said about the
President by the Democratic newspa-
pers. This recent appointment is that
of Mr.. H. A. M. Smith, of Columbia,
sc. to be Judge of the Federal Court
of S. G. as the successor of Judge
Brawley, retired by the age limit.
Judge Smith has been life. long
Democrat and the appointment went
to him unsought.
In making these appointments
President Taft is but carrying out the
idea expressed by him before he be-
came President. While Secretary of
War. Mr.. Taft delivered speech in
Greensboro, N. c., in which he made
declarationh along this line. We for
get his eacxt words, but they were
to the effect that it would be better
for the Republican party if all the
Federal officials in the South were
taken from among the Democrats. Of
course there were two constructions
to be placed upon this remark. One
was that the affairs of the country
would be better managed; another
that the Southern Republican party
would be built up by this method.
Some have placed one construction
upon this and some the other. But
which of the two was meant by Mr..
Taft, he has been carrying out the
idea since being President.
We have always believed Mr.. Taft
a bigger man than his party. We have
always regarded him as honest and
patriotic. AS trying to do the best he
could with the environments which
surround him. We are disposed to be.
lieve he has made appointments from
the Democratic party in the effort tt
select the best man for the position
he wished to fill. We have been dis
posed to place this construction upor
these appointments instead of that Of
proseliting. We prefer at all times t.
think good instead of bad of any man.
and only think the latter when forced
to do so. So long as we believe Mr..
Taft is trying, so long will we give
him credit for honest intentions. We
have not yet arrived at the point OF
doubling him.

We venture the assertion that
there isn't an intelligent farmer in
Virginia who would for moment
endorse a proposal to erect high
tariff wall between this State and
Maryland, or Pennsylvania or New
York. even though the Federal Con-
stitution contained no prohibitory
provision. Yet the attitude of those
who oppose reciprocity with Canada
amounts in essence, to practically the
same thing. Commerce between this
country and the Dominion ought to
be as free as it is among the several
States of this Union. and there isn't
an argument, save that of revenue
alone, in favor of free trade in the
one case which does not apply with
equal force in the other. Norfolk
