A POSTAL LABOR UNION IMP0S-
.SIBLE,


Is taking up the cudgels in behalf
of those members of the United
States railway mail service who want
to form labor union affiliated with
the Knights Of Labor.
The Chief has always sympathized
with the labor unions. 1t realizes
and has never hesitated to affirm
that these organizations are abso-.
lutely necessary. not alone for the
laborers themselves, but for the well
fare of the community. There is
probably no one element that has
worked more for the making OF
what is good in twentieth century
civilization than has the existence
Of the labor unions.
There is a vast and vital differ
ence, however. between an organi-
ration amongst the employees OF
private individuals or corporations.
and one of like character formed
of employees of the government.
whether federal, state or municipal.
An oath-bound secret society amongst
the employees of any governmental
branch is absolutely intolerable. 1t
cannot be understood how any one
imbued with the true spirit of our
institutions can conceive such thing
possible 1t strikes at the root OF
government and order and spells
anarchy in its worst, because most
insidious form.
In the first place every individual
In the public service is a sworn Of
ficer. He has taken an oath to OBJ
serve and enforce the law and obey
the constitution. The moment he
joins an oath-bound society whose
aim is to coerce the government ne
has forsworn himself, because he has
commenced to lay plans to usurp the
authority Of those over him and by
threats or force in some form to
compel them to do that which other
wise they would not do.
In considering this class of ques-
tions it is good to go back to first
principles. The very fundamental
thesis of our system, the life by
which it exists. is that the people
confer together and from time to
time, by means of elections, express
their opinions upon men and meas
ures and select those who are to
WELD the prime authority for exc
cution. Amy oath-bound secret So
ciety for any purpose is a violation
OF the principles of our system and
is and Of itself revolutionary.
This is exactly the kind of thing
that leads up to the lack of system
that for hundred years has made
the so-called governments Of South
and Central America a stencil in the
nostrils of the civilized world. Those
countries happily show disposition
to put away such methods. Is it
possible that any sane man in this
country thinks we have refrigerated
SO far as to go back on the road
they have abandoned? 1t is to be
hoped that injustice has been done
Senator LaFollette by the report that
he Is preparing to champion the
right of sworn public servants to vio-
late their oaths and repudiate their
obligations to the people.

Give Southwest More Members

Facing the busiest sixty days of his
whole life as chairman of the House
Committee on Privileges and Elec-
tions in Legislature, which is going
to be the busiest in generation,
Judge Martin Williams spent yester-
day in Richmond doing some prelimi-
nary work. He left last night for his
home in Giles county.
While preferring not to go into de-
tails. inasmuch as he occupies a semi
judicial position, Judge Williams said
that in the matter of redistricting the
State. he proposes to try to see that
the Southwest gets its due share of
membership in the Legislature. 1t
takes many more people to elect
Senator or Delegate in that section
than in the rest of the State. "For
instance" said Judge Williams,
Buchanan county. with II, 900 peo-
pie, and Tazewell. with $4,000, to-
gether elect member of the House
Appomattox, with only 5000, elects
one. against ZOO in the other
counties named. This is not fair"
The Giles county man, who will be
leader of the Democrats on the floor
of the House, will again vote for rat
iiication of the income tax amendment
to the Federal Constitution
= In his committee he will have
charge of congressional and legisla-
tive redistricting, ard the bills to re-
fer the liquor question, primary bills,
pure election bilII Zone of which he
will introduce) and woman's suffrage
bills AS to primaries. Judge Will
Jams is still opposed to them in toto,

Good Road And chIna,s Dynasty

Correspondence of London Spectator:
On going over some old notes of
Picking in 1904 l came across the
subjoined prophecy: 1.-The Ming dy-
nasty came to an end when the tenn
piles were restored. The Ching dynas-
ty will end when the roads are put in
order"
In 1904 the roads were far from
being put in order. because on one oc-
casion, driving out to dinner in a
rickshaw, got begged at the bottom
of Legation street, near the Ha-ta
Gate, the mud coming right up to the
aAles of my carriage. Since then the
advent of the motor-car has created
great changes and now it may reason
ably be said that the roads have been
put in order.
AS regards the railway coming to
Peking. we must go back. to the time
when the northern capital was built.
At that period, twill be remember
ed, Marking was the chief city. But,
POLITICALLY, the Emperor is sometimes
referred to as the dragon, "whereas
the Empress is symbolizcd by the
Phoenix" When, therefore. Peking
was built. according to the chinese
astrologers, it was constructed in the
form of Phoenix. the half moon of
the Chinese city outside the Tartar
wall representing the wings.
When the railway came it cut
through the Chinese city wall and ran
parallel to the Tartar city wall, there
by cutting the birds wings.
The asti ologers declared that the
Phoenix would never fly again. and
undoubtedly the Chinese were very
hostile at first to the foreign iron
road.

With The Poets

Chant me rhyme of Christmas
Sing me jovial song
And though it is filed with laughter,
Let it be prue and strong.
Sing of the hearts brimmed over
With the story of the day
OF the echo of childish voices
That will not die away.
OF the blare Of the tasseled bugle.
And the timeless caltter and beat
OF the drums that throbs to muster
Squadrons of scampering feet.
But, o let your voice fall fainter,
Till, blent with minor tone
You temper the song with the beauty
OF the pity Crhist has shown.
And sing one verse for the voiceless
And yet, ere the song be done.
A verse for the ears that hear not,
And a verse for The sightless one.
For though it be tiRe for singing
A merry Chrstmas( glee,
Let low. sweet voice of pathos
Run through the melody.

Young, which was then delicate. be-
gan to decline from this, and while
she would improve, she never fully
regained her strength and in the early

She made profession of religion
at Mt. Pleasant church, Mawxell,
under the pastorate of Rev. Boyd, in
May 1909 and uni ted with the Nj. Il.
Church, South, of which she remained
a faithful member until God took her
home. She was strong Christian
character, withstanding severe temp
tations, and when Satan presented
himself as an angel of light. In her
last hours, when her friends and loved
ones could not restrain their grief,
she would look at them and smiling,
say, "Don't grieve for me; am
going home"
Services were conducted at the
home at IL a. m. Sunday, by the
writer, and her body placed to rest in
the Peery Cemetery, near Tazewell.
