Jimmy Is one Of the score OF
youngsters who nightly yell Even
In Capitul Jurnuls' on the streets
Of Salem. Last Saturday evening,
after chasing around the business
district for several hours, with the
thermometer hoyering around the
100 mark, Jimmy had collected 81
cents and had three papers remain
ing Of the original bundle he car
ried when he left the Journal office.
Grasping these papers in a grlmy
and perspiring fist, he started out
East State street in the direction OF
that stately building whose roof
houses oregon's famous prison re-
form governor, and on whose lawn
reposes two formidable appearing
and shining cannons. The kid was
barefooted and the heat Of the
gravel path caused him to hop iiveiy
in an effort to keep both feet Off the
ground at the same time.
When within a short distance Of
the Capitol building, man came
down the path toward him. "Chah-
llo" will suffice for the mans name
in this case although that Is not the
one he uses on the state pay roll.
He was walking slowly, head down,
and appeared to be thinking hard
perhaps thinking Of some of the
kicks he had received during the
day To his roll-top desk in the
state house come the heads of many

"Evenin' paper, mister7 It's all
bout the murder, Only a penny"
sung out the newsboy.
The state official cast a little side
long glance at the boy, shook his
head and passed on.
Jimmy hesitated, looked toward
the capitol building and then his
eyes rested on the retreatlng figure
of the man who had Just passed. The
little fellow evidently decided that II
was his last chance to get rid of hi.

the path after Charlie" went the
lad.
Say, mister don't you want tC
take these three papers? It's only
three pennies and | want to make
65 cents tonight" the little fellow
splurted out all in one breath. AND
he boylsh plea had It's effect.
Isn't that pretty good wages for
an hours work, G5 cents?" asked IN,
tired official, as he paused for mo-

Portland, Or, July 22.-Barely
escaping with their lives, the crew
of the Shaver Transportation com
pany's steamer NJ. F. Henderson
leaped from the craft as she was
sinking in the Columbia river near
Clifton today, following a collision
with the tug Sampson and three rock
barges.
The Henderson had practically her
whole side torn out, and sank within
few minutes after being struck.
The boat was valued at about S50,-
900.
Captain StiIscn, master of the
Henderson, telephoned the news to
the company's offices here, but gave
few details of the collision.

THE ACCOUNTABLE COLLAR
PAD

Somebody will call the editor a
crank if nothing worse, for. saying
that the collar pad in general use in
this country, is nuisance and an
abomination, which should be dispens
ed with. They are hot, keeping the
shoulders of the horse continually wet
and of course tender. If man who
works out every day, will put on n
big thick heavy glove he will get
some idea of how horse must feel
with a heavy, sweaty old pad all over
his shoulders and wrapped under his
neck, besides, the shoulders like the
gloved hands, will always be tender
and liable to become sore. These pads
are even used on carriage horses and
even single buggy horses, for what
purpose no one on earth can imagine.
except that it is customary. A good
well hitting collar needs no pad, and
horse may be worked daily with
such collar, and never have a sore
shoulder.
A writer in last weeks Breeder
Gazette says, he has used the metal
hameless collars on four year old
mules, and three year old, 1850
pound Percherons for twelve months
ditching, hauling logs and all sorts of
farm work, and has no sore Shoulders.
The idea of working a piece of iron
Tor collar is out of the question to
the man who believes ina big leather
collar, with several, pounds Of thick
cloth stuffed under it. The pad max
ers should go out of business for want
of patronage.

THE DROUGHT STILL ON

The summer of 1911 now promises
to pass into Tazewell history as the
dry summer. Few of the oldest in
habitats remember such a drought
here as has prevailed during May and
June. The meadows and pastures are
cut very short. The oat and wheat
crops are reduced, and gardens are
almost failures. Corn is doing we'll,
so far, except that which was plant
ed late. This has lacked sufficient
moisture to bring it up and start it
off. If rains come soon the corn crop
will not be reduced. Under the cir
cumstances and conditions prevailing
here it is encouraging to read of good
seasons in many parts of the country.
The agricultural report is, that at
this time, there is bumper crop of
corn and wheat in sight exceeding
the enormous yield of last year.
Much, of course, depends upon tho
amount of rainfall during the ncxt
month or so.

THOSE EXTRACTS

The Roanoke Times has been pub
fishing in the current issues, ex tracts
from document which fell into it
hands, written by Mr.. Carter Glass,
in 1905, and signing these articles
with the name of "Hon. Carter
Glass" We thought at first, that
The Times had "cinch," so to
speak, and had really caught Mr..
Glass Gin a trap " After reading Mr..
Miller's statement of the origin, etc,
of this document, which was never
circulated, we confess to some sur
prise that these extracts should have
been put forth as they were in the
columns of the Roanoke Times. From
the facts it appears that Mr.. Glass
prepared this paper at the request of
committee of which he was not even
a member, if we remember correctly,
just as an attorney familiar with all
the facts, and being more fluent and
capable from long experience in such
work than the average laymen, is
asked to do, without endorsing OF
even approving, the object to be at
tanned by the writing. Entirely square
dealing, so it seems to us, should have
forbidden the publicity to this six
year old document, in the first place.
The gentlemen who saw fit to pigeon
hole it, and not use it at the time il
was written, should have kept il
there If he wanted to give it public
ity, why, in the name of all fairness.
should he permit It to go out without
having the proper signature? Do such
near cuts as this constitute IL part of
the game?

PUT HIM DOWN

One thing Mr.. Taft should do at
once, if he has the power, that is,
dismiss that "half strainer" Gar
rard, who refused young man, a
private soldier, to take the examina-
ton for a commission, on the ground
that the young man was n Jew, and
of low social status. Mr.. Taft was
mild in his rcbuke of this officer. who
evidently doesn't know his business,
and is unfit for the place he occupies.

has never been approached either
orally or otherwise by either Mr..
Swanson or Mr.. Martin, with any sort
of proposition whatsoever, asking the
support of its columns. The editor
received one or two letters from these
gentlemen thanking him for some
thing he said in the paper, but neith-
err of them have ever asked or offered
to buy space in this paper. Neither
has Mr.. Glass or Mr.. Jones ever ask
ed for any notice or announcement or
publication whatsoever. If they had
done so they would have gotten it,
Mr.. Martin is not even subscriber

elsewhere who do not admire him at
all and who are disposed to belittle
his achievement instead of heartily
applauding it. That is one of the bad
phases of partisan prejudice, of
which there is great deal in all
parts of the country. But Mr.. Hitch
cocks work will speak for itself and
the public will give him the credit
that is due him. Despite the rural
free delivery service, which is main
tanned at tremendous loss, and de-
spite the subsidy of millions of dol
lars annually to the magazines, if the
figures that have been given out are
correct he has put the postofIice de-
partment on Il self sustaining basis
something the democrats would have
done some years ago had they had
the opportunity.
There is no question but that the
magazines should be compelled to pay
more postage. The cost of handling
that class of publications is nine
cents pound, while the government
receives only one cent pound. True,
newspapers are given the one cent
rate, but the average haul of the
magazines is eight hundred miles,
while the average haul of newspapers
is only eighty miles, so that the gov
eminent really makes on the latter.
f the magazine rate is increased, as
Mr.. Hitchcock proposes, the post

TAZEWELL, VA, JUNE 16. 1911.
OPPOSITION TO THE BLUE
FIELD TELEPHONE co.

1t is reported in this office that the
building of the new phone line from
TaZewell into Richlands and Raven,
- meeting with considerable opposi-
ton in obtaining rights-of-wa for
the poles, through the farms of some
of the people. While there is some
opposition large number of people
have given hearty consent to the
building of the line through their
farms, at nominal cost. There
seems to be good deal of difference
in the way different people look at
such things. One man wants good
roads, and is willing to have his farm
split open if necessary to obtain
better grade. Another, perhaps his
neighbor, who thinks he is equally
public spirited, refuses absolutely to
concede or grant anything, and doesn't
care fig about good roads. One
farmer is anxious to have a phone
line near him, and phone in his
house for his and his family's benefit
and convenience, while his neighbor
cares nothing about it, and will not
turn hand to help along. We are
not conversant with the facts and
phases of the opposition of the farm
er down the line to the Bluefield Tele-
phone Co. AS we understand it, the
company is willing, as is it's custom,
to pay for the right Whether the
sum offered by the company is too
small, or the amount asked by the
land owner is too high, we do not
know. We only regret that there can
not be an amicable understanding and
arrangement entered into between the
parties, so that this public utility
can go forward quickly and speedi-
ly without the necessary delay of con-
domination proceedings in the courts,
which, being chartered company.
they have the right to resort to, but
which they are loathe to take adyan-
tage of. AS each pole occupies less
perhaps than twelve inches of space,
it would seem that damages to the
land should not be very much. pro.
viding the Company is willing to bind
itself to make good all damage.
etc., done in the future by repairing,
etc.; which, we believe, they do in
all cases. We are not ready to saw
that every man should grant free
right of way through his farm for the
erection of poles, ETC., but, in this
day of public enterprise and push. we
do say, that no enterprising man
should stand in the way of progress
unless he has strong reasons for so
doing.
This line is free line to all phone
holders. and will be of incalculable
value from a business and social
standpoint, to all the people of the
towns and country. The present line
Is inefficient, and not capable of
handling the business satisfactorily
and everybody wants to see it built
upon such terms and agreements as
Will be acceptable to all parties. OF
course, being chartered public util-
ity we suppose the law gives the
company the right of condemnation
proceedings. but this should be the
last resort after everv other
means Is exhausted. Sometimes. per-
haps generally, enmies are made
when such means are resorted to. The
company should be willing to nav.
and the people accept reasonable
damages, and let the work 90 on.
