the Progressive Republicans and
won out hands down. Since the
election the Democrats and Pro-
gressive Republicans, having stood
together and won out in one great
fight, are inclined to still stand to-
gether, and in this contest for the
clerkship will be likely to vote al
most soidly for DR.. Greever. This
being the condition of things the
machine" is uneasy. 1t means the
defeat of the other "Ring' candidate
if there be Il 'Ring Candidate, for
the Democrats hold the "balance of
power, and all, of course, against
the ring" if there be "riug. "
The natural thing to do, is to call off
one of the candidates. 1t has already
been rumored that DR.. Greever will
be persuaded" to come down for the
"good of the party" and for the sake
of party harmony" This is the u.s.
ual course pursued under such circum.
stances Few, if any of the people be
lieve that DR.. Greever will "come of
under any circumstances. They SAY
that he cannot afford to do so. His
chances for election are too good, the,
say, and besides, after all that ha.
been said and done all the wa,
through, DR.. Greever must and will
stick to it to the end. We don't wan
to be understood as saying that
effort has been made to get DR.
Greever off. We don't know. Only
according to the game, as usual,
played, this would he the natural thinl
to do.
One thing is certain: Should it oc
cur, for any reason, that Dr. Greeve
should come off the ticket, the Dem
ocrats will put up man against tn
machine candidate, and give him
lively race. AS matters now stand
it is not thought that the Democrat
will nominate a candidate, but divide
their votes between the two alread,
in the field. Some will vote for MI
Barns, and some for DR.. Greever, al
they may prefer, and the candidat
w no gets the largest Democratic vot
will get there with both feet. Demo
cratic votes should be worth n pre-
MUM this year.

Cruelty to Poultry
Editor of The Virgini:n

Editor of The Virgini:n:
Sir,-We read much about pure
food; what about sick fowls, people
are eating every day? They are car
rled about the streets in punches, with
their legs bleeding. through the hot
sun, and many packed in crates like
sardines, without food or water 1t
is so in market and grocery stores.
There is no notice taken of this bv
inspectors or families who buy, and
allow them to be thrown down ON the
premises still tied for hours before
killed, or thrown in a coop without
food or water by servants. When will
this end? Fowls can suffer as we'll as
other animals; they have the same
feeling. Is there no redress?
HUMANITY.
The above clipping from the Vir-
gilman is timely. We have, more than
once, in these Columns, called atten-
ton to this bit of barbarism practiced
by dealers in poultry. There ought to
be some way TO compel dealers to be
more thoughtful and humane. Not a
day passes that some delivery bow
does not pass along the street swing
ing chickens by their legs, their heads
hanging down, and the fowls, feverish
and hot, having been confined in n
close coop for hours and perhaps days,
and entirely unfit for food. A man
a grown up man-came in town a few
days ago with dozen chickens slupp
across his saddle-six on a side-hav.
ing Travelled ten miles to get here.
What condition, think you, these fowls
were in when they reached the gro
Ger? They were totally unfit for food
The grocer piled them in a close coon
with other chickens. For an hour or
two they were not able to stand on
their feet. In this condition some of
them were sold, and the boy grabbed
them by their feet, and again thew
started on trip, heads down, and if
the chickens could have talked they
would have no doubt thanked the cook
who cut their heads off. Lets stop
this bit of cruelty, and be more hui
man, even to chickens.

YOUR DUTY

Every Democrat and Republican,
too-every voter. should cast his bal
lot when election day comes. 1t is a
sacred duty, which every man owes to
himself and to his country, to cast his
vote. There is no reason why any man
should be deprived of his vote. If he
is disfranchised now, under the pres
ent law, it is his own fault, due to his
carlessness or Indifference. The Dem
ocratic primary this year is held on
September the 7th. just about n
month off. Every Democrat, whether
for Swanson or Martin, or Jones or
Glass, should come out and cast his
vote, and try to get every other DEM
ocrat to do the same. The trouble. if
any, will be to get the voters out.
Everybody should do their best to
have full vote polled every time the
polls are opened.
Remember September 7th.

REDEEM VIRGINIA."

'All of Congressman Glass attacks |
on Senators Martin and Swanson are
easily and effectively answered by |
quoting from speeches he has made in |
the recent past, before he and Con- |
gresham Jones became avowed candi- |
dates for Senatorial honors. Bristol
Herald Courier.
Just what the Republican has con-
tended all the time, that the machine
methods are and have been we'll un-
derstood by those now claiming to OPP
pose it. but they refused to expose
them because, forsooth, they were fell
low Democrats. Of what good will it
be for Virginia to overthrow the pres
ent machine to erect one i'm it's stead
composed of the smaller satellites of
the present one, who have kicked over
the traces merely because they did
not get just what they thought was
their share of the spoils. Bah, on such
reformers as Glass and Jones, who
stumped this district last fall, sup
porting the most arrogant effort to
debauch the electorate ever known in
this State. Why did they not then
tell the voters of the Ninth of the
corruption of the Democratic ma
chine? The information they are now
giving to the people was not acquired
in day nora year. They knew it
then and knew that the machine was
pouring thousands into the Ninth to
debauch the electorate of this dis
trict. Why then so strangely silent ?
There is only one thing for fairmind-
ed, patriotic citizens to do to ere
deem Virginia, and that is to unite
with the Republicans and smash the
machine. 1t cannot be done within the
Democratic party. -Tazewell Repub-
lican.

Honey Dew

AT certain seasons of the year it is
noticed that the leaves of certain
trees and plants that covered with
what is called Honey Dew. Many peo.

called, and is due to peculiar atmos
pheric conditions. This is not the case
This dew is sweet, resinous sub

Tor the reason, perhaps, that the rains

these insects, causeing the dew to an.

THAT YELLOW DOG" FUND

MIR. Jones has charged that Mr..
Martin collected and disbursed what
is known these days as "a yellow dog
fund'-money used in bribing and
corrupting Legislators and legisla-
lures, we believe. We don't know just
how the name or designation, "yel-
low dog" came to be applied to such
fund.
Mr.. Martin and Hon. j. Taylor
Ellyson, Chairman of the Democratic
State Committee, as well as other
leading Democrats who knew all the
facts, have answered fully and con-
clusively Mr.. Jones charges. Away
back, before Mr.. Martin was a men,
Der of anything except bar associ-
alton, he seems to have been employed
or retained as attorney by some rail
road, and perhaps tried to secure some
legislation which said railroad want
ed. Was this crime? The said rail-
roads, along with others, contributed
to the election expenses, part of
which fund, says MIR. Ellyson, was
spent for the benefit of Mr.. Jones
candidacy his, Jones district. So,
there your are. MIR. Jones has "fell
down" on this, as on other charges,
made by himself, and MIR. Glass
against Senators Martin and Swanson,
in this wonderful campaign.
AS we understand it, the fact that
lawyer, as paid attorney represents
railroad, or other corporation in a
given case, does not necessarily stamp
that lawyer forever as favoring or
approving all, or even any part of the
corporations methods. Mr.. VIM. II.
Werth defended, as an attorney, the
Republican Office holders of Russell
recently in that county. against the
charges brought against them in de-
nying certain Democrats and Repub-
licans the right of registration. Does
this fact render Mr.. Werth less trust
worthy as n Democrat? If a lawyer
defends criminal does he become
criminal? Hardly. If the fact that
Mr.. Martin, as young lawyer, some
dozen or more years ago, was attor-
ney for railroads, and perhaps was in
fluential in securing a campaign con-
tribution from his clients, instead of
being censurable seems to us rather
the opposite. AS to the now famous
Thompson letters, stolen or not, Mr..
Montague, we are informed, knew of
these old letters years ago, when he
ran against MIR. Swanson for Governor
but before springing them upon the
public went to Mr.. Ellyson, saw all
Inc data, got all the facts, and decid-
ed at once that there was "nothing to
it," and said nothing about them in
his speeches. If Mr.. Jones had done
this he would, no doubt, have let
these letters rest in the accumulated
dust of all these years, and not gotten
himself into this mesh, which has al.
ready done his candidacy harm. Now,
let this "yellow dog, black dog, bull
dog, or any other kind of dog fund
business be dropped unless somebody
will come forward and with some
show of reason and common sense, say
something definite.

THE SENATORIAL CAMPAIGN

There is good deal of gossip as to
who will be nominated by the Repub-
licans for the Senate from this dis
trict, and whether or not the Demo-
Gratis will nominate candidate at
all. 1t is said here that Mr. Chase
will not be a candidate for reelection
this time, and that Mr.. j.. Powell
Royal will be the nominee, that MIR.
Chase's brother is candidate for
Clerk of Dickinson county, and that
one member of the family at the pie
counter is enough at one time, and
that Tazewell or Russell is entitled to
the candidate this year. However,
private advices from Dickinson coun-
ty declare that Mr.. Chase is a candi-
date for reelection and will make "A
stubborn fight for the nomination
when the convention meets on the
18th, and that the counties of Dicken-
son, Buchanan and Russell are solid
for Chase. This may or IN ay not be
true. AT any rate lively times are
expected unless ian agreement is
reached beforehand.
In the meantime, the question is
being asked all around, "what are the
Democrats going to do?' Will they
nominate candidates for the senate
and legislature? There is strong
feeling among many of the leaders
that candidate should be nominated
for both these Offices. 1t is argued
that the Democrats of the great coun-
ties of Tazewell, Russell and Dicken-
son, as we'll as Buchanan, should not
LAY down" and let the Republicans
walk over them without contest. 1t
is further stated that in case MIR.
| Chase is nonominated, that the Dem
ocrats can carry Dickinson and Buch-
anan with the right man, and that ow-
ing to political conditions in Russell
county it will be impossible for the
Republicans to carry that county at all
if the Democrats nominate a proper
man. This is about the situation at
present. There will be some definite
developments soon. This paper has
always urged that candidates should
be nominated and fight made for all
state offices every time. We will get
no more than we ask for, nor win
more than we contest for. Frequently
in county offices it is best to keep
down fights for the good of the coun-
ty, and for all parties to unite upon
the best men. There is no reason,
however, why the Democrats, when it
comes to state and national affairs,
should not put up their best men, and
elect them. We see no reason at all
why the the Democrats should not
nominate candidate for the Senate.

BUILDING 100 STORIES HIGH
Nothing improbable In Report Of Plans
for New Structure for City
of New York.

There Is nothing intrinsically i'm.
probable In the report that a hundred
story building has been planned for
New York. A 50-story building Is al
ready In process Of construction there,
and presumably there are no serious
engineering problems involved in the
higher structure that have not been
encountered in the lower. The one es.
sential would appear to be that a plot
OF ground sufficient in area to provide
an ample base should be obtained; the
relation between base and height in
skyscrapers has been at least theo.
retically determined. Whether hun.
dred story building is commercially
practicable is another question. Would
suite Of Offices on the ninety-ninth
floor. say, rent easily? This is some
thing that perhaps even the real es.
tate experts in Manhattan could not
decide offhand. But If the hundred
story structure should be built, ris.
ing 1000 feet above the pavement,
New York would take a certain pride
In having by far the Hottest building
in the world, continuance of steel
and cement greatly overlapping the
famous Eiffel tower.-Providenc

dict was that Joseph Hajek came
to his death by suffocation IN
smoke caused by fire, of apparent
ly accidental origin in his home.
1t seems that the old man got
up in the night and making a fire
in the stove, lay in bed. Possibly
he may have left the door of the
stove opened and spark falling
to the floor set fire to some waste
paper and then the fire spread ra-
pidly. This supposition is borne
out by the fact that he was in
the habit of picking and gathering
paper everywhere and each one
of the three rooms, as we'll as the
garrett. were literally filled with
waste paper. The floor in the
room where he slept and had cook
ing stove was burnt thru and the
ceiling and wall were badly char
red. When the smoke got so
thick that breathing was impos-
sible, the old man was awakened
and IN making his escape ran into
the other room, but was overcome
by the fumes and fell about tour
feet from a window facing the
street; and there breathed his last.
The fire may have been raging
within for several hours and the
unfortunate old man may have
been dead long before the fremen
arrived; this would be corroborat-
ed by the fact that the corpse was
stiff when found. Owing to the
prompt arrival of the fire compa-
ny the flames were checked be-
fore reaching the other rooms in
Guiding the one where the body
was found, and altho the body
was not burnt in the least by di-
rect flames it was badly scalded
by the moist hot air that the skin
by touch pealed. Otherwise the
body was well preserved.
The building is damaged by the
FIRE beyond repair and is insured.
The body was prepared tor blu.
rial by F. Novak and was inter-
redWednesday afternoon in the

Old Joseph Hajek Lost
His Life In Fire at his Home

Not since the burning down of
the Hruska & Trunec building
eight years ago in which young
man by the name of Frank Hen.
rich who slept in the rear room
was found dead after the fire, was
this community agitated SO much
as over the fire of Tuesday NOR
ming in the dwelling where Joseph
Hajek aged 70 living alone in
seclusion, met his death. The
FIRE was noticed by John Kortan,
who lives across the street from
the building, at about 5 minutes
toNsix o'clock. Mr.. Kortan who
does the morning cleaning in the
Hruska & Trunec saloon, was on
his way to his task as usual and
upon leaving his home he noticed
volumes of smoke arising from
the illfated building. He at once
approached to ascertain what the
trouble was and Immediately ran
1 to the fire house to give alarm
In the meantime Mrs. Vaith a
neighbor OF the old man Hajek
also noticed what was transporting
and she aroused George Trunec
who also ran at once to give
alarm. The alarm being given,
in few minutes the fire com.
pany was on the place to combat
the flames.
The first thought of all was the
saving Of the old inhabitant of
the doomed building. All of the
windows being closed and the
doors locked, it was found neces-
sary to break in, but Immediately
thick cloud of smoke and gases
and heat drove back thk rescuers
so that It was impossible to enter
