two presiding officers during the ses-
sion of the legislature just ended.

and it might be added, to the clerks Of
ths two Houses,
In the Senate President Hatfield
received a solid silver salysr, the

engraved. The value of the salyer is
between $500 and $500. Senator

butte could be paid to a man tha1 to
call him a manly man, and that that
expression was true of the president
OF the Senate. The ex-governor al
ways interesting when paying COM
pTfments, paid a beautiful tribute to

present in the Senate Chamber wept
over in the House Speaker WetZei
as the recipient Cf a silver service
Of ssventy-ive pieces, the gift OF the

not need a gift to assure him that

that esteem by further showing their
appreciation with the gift which he
accepted.

TRUTH CROPS OUT.
Why Pile Sufferers So often Fail To
Get Relief.

Science is getting to the bottom of
everything, including the cause and
cure of piles. The brightest doctors
now admit that piles are caused in
ternally and can be cured only by in
ternal treatment. Dr. J S. Leonhardt
some time ago perfected remedy IN
tablet f0rm-Hem-Roid. which cures
the cause of piles, and therefore cures
permanently. 1t is sold by w. 5, Har-

FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE
TRUSTS

President Taft gave, as one reason
for vetoing the bill reducing the tariff
on wool as follows:
More thhan u million of our coun-
trymen are engaged in the production
of wool and the manufacture of wool
ems. Large communities are almost
wholly dependent upon the prosperity
of the woolgrower and the wooden
manufacturer.
Roughly estimating, 5000, 600
of American people would be injured
or affected by illadvised reduction of
the tariff"
The President did not state the num-
Der of people in this country using
wooden goods. He seems to have had
in his mind only the manufacturer.
So it is always with the Republican
party. The trusts, the manacturers
must be protected, the consumer can
take care of himsf. The vetoes of the
President at this session of congress
shows him in very close touch with
Wall Street.

KEEP 1T UP

There is only one way to get rid of
the frightful incubus of Democratic
missrule in the state and that is for
all honest and patriotic citizens to
unite with the Republicans and ere
deem Virginia. Tazewell Republi-
can.
All right, neighbor. We repeat
our acceptance of this proposition
which you have made heretofore. We
have commenced on Russell, Tazewell
and Smyth counties. We suggest that
we spread out little, and include
more territory in this redeeming bust
ness. Congress has just adjourned and
did good deal along this line. Next
year we will take up the good work
again, by electing Democratic Pre-
sident Congress and Senate, and go
into the redeeming business on a
large scale. Pitch in and help us. Our
notion is to have complete cleaning
up from cellar to garnet. Work along
this line is progressing fairly well in
Tazewell and Russell. Pitch in and
help. Do more and talk less.

disentangled party. We haven't made
any embarrassing promises. We
haven't made any entangling alli-
ances; we are ready to go in any
direction that we want to go, and we
want to go in the direction of the
light. We have seen the light and we
have seen the growing dawn of new
day; our faces are alight with the
reflection from that kindling sky. We
know that there are steep and rugged
paths ahead of us, but we have the
blood, the full blood and hope of
youth in US, we have the confidence
that the people believe in us, and are
going to support us, and we shall
struggle up those nights to the levels

The Rights of The People

We say that we are against privi-
lege and for the rights of the people,
but privilege has worn many form.
What is the especial form of privi-
lege we now fight? By privilege, as
we now fight it, we mean control of
the law, of legislation and of adjudi-
cation, by organizations which do not
represent the people, by means which
are private and selfish and worthy of
all condemnation. We mean specific
ally the conduct of our affairs and the
shaping of our legislation in the in
terest of special bodies of capital
and those who organize their use. We
mean the alliance for this purpose of
political machines with the captains
of organized industry. We mean the
exploitation of the people by legal
and political means. We have seen
our governments under these in
fuences cease to be representative of
the pople and become governments re-
preventative of the special interests.
controlled by machines which in their
turn are not controlled by the people,
