Progressive Republicans

"A formidable array of republicans
have attached their names to the dec
laration of principles issued by the
Progressive Republican League. Read
these names carefully. This declara-
ton of war recalls the fight COM
menced in the democratic party in
1885 sixteen years ago. Will the
progressives succeed in obtaining
control Of the republican party? We
shall see. They have an administra-
ton to fight, just as the progressive
democrats had; they have the special
interests to fight, just as the pro-
gressive democrats had; they have
the big newspapers against them.
just as the progressive democrats
had. Let US hope that the progressive
will control BOTH parties and give
the people chance to win, no matter
which party succeeds.
The men who ate and drank and
celebrated at Baltimore should give
special attention to the Progressive
Republican League. If thew 1.-THE
Baltimore crowd) succeed in nominat-
ing Wall Street democrat and the
progresslves put up real progress

sive Republican League; and, bv the
way is 1T not about time for the pro-
gressive democrats to get to work p

STATE AID FOR ROAD BUILD.
ING

The following letter of Mr.. Wilson,
the State Highway Commissioner,
is explanatory of question not thor
oughly understood by the people gen
orally. In letter to Mr.. Ker, of
Staunton, replying to inquiries, Mr..
Wilson says:
r" beg to say that the state an
probation for every year than an ap-
preparation has been made has varied.
In 1909 it was $780, 900, in 1910
1t was $3.50, 900, and for 1911 it is
5000, 900, with the tax on automo-
biles added for the last two wears.
This tax was about $40. 900 in 1910
and will probably be more this year,
so that this years state aid will an
proximate that of 1909. 1t is there
fore, of course, impossible to say
how much each county would receive
each year as the appropriation from
year to year will in all probability
vary, though | am inclined to think
1t VIII increase rather than diminish.
| AS Augusta county did not receive
state money aid this year, we did not
calculate what it would receive and,
IN order to make an exact calculation.
all of our figures would have to be
made over taking the taxable values
OF Augusta county which were omit
leIfl Loft I,,t
close approximation within a few
hundred dollars Augusta county would
receive for 1911, if they took state
money aid instead cf convict labor,
about $4,000 and in future years
their share would, of course, depend
on the appropriation made by the leg
lslature and the variation in assess
able values, as the Appropriation is APP
portioned to the personal property,
income and capitation tax.
In reply to your second question,
beg to say that my understanding of
the law is that, should the county
construct considerable amount of
road under the requirements of the
state aid law, that is, according to
plans and specifications made by and
under the supervision of the state
highway commission, they would be
entitled to receive their share of the
state aid until they had gotten back
one half of the amount expended.
The second paragraph in Section S of
the Act approved Feb. 25, 1908.
read as follows: "Any county where
IN, after the passage of this act.
more than fifty per centum of the ex-
pense of permanent road improve
ment shall be expended, in accordance
with the provisions of this act, shall
be entitled to receive it's said animal
apportionment until its receipts from
the state on such account shall eoual
fifty per centum of such expense. -
This clause was put into the law at
my suggestion at the time that it
was framed and with the idea of
meeting just the cndition which pre-
sents itself in your county, that is,
to put the counties issuing bonds on
an equal footing with the other coun-
ties, which do their work from year
to year, and l am of the opinion that,
II your county spent million dollars
In bonds in accordance with this law.
they would be entitled to receive
their pro rata share from the state
each year until they had gotten back
$500, 600, of course with the proyi-
sion that the Legislature kept up
these appropriations long enough for
the county to get back that amount.

ALFALFA AND CRIMSON
CLOVER

The editor believes that he can
do the people of his county no
greater service than to encour-
age the growth of finer and better
crops. This he has tried to do to the
very best of his ability for the past
several years, and has pressed so fire.
quently and persistently the import
ance of so doing as to perhaps weary
some of the readers of this paper. He
has no doubt whatsoever of the agri-
cultural possibilities of this great
county, and expects to live to see it
take it's place among the great grain
and grass producing sections of the
country so far as it's climate and
general adoption will permit. Taze-
well county can grow as good corn
and as much of it per acre, as any
county in the corn belt and 90 be-
yond most of them. By improving the
seed planted and by better prepara
ton and cultivation we can more than
double the present average yield all
over the county. Old, slipshod, care
less methods must be displaced by
new and better methods worked out
and proven by the most successful
farmers. The methods advocated in
this paper are those recommended by
the highest authorities. We get a
half dozen or more of the leading ap-
ricultural journals, and read them
all, and take great pleasure and sat-
isfaction in giving our readers the
very latest and best information
CLEANED from these great pubIica-
lions. We don't expect the careless.
indifferent farmers to take interest
IN these matters, neither the self
conceited fellow who thinks he knows
it all. These will turn up their noses
or sheer, and throw the paper aside.
The men who love farming and want
to do their duty to the land and
themselves, will read and read, and
accept suggestions PUBLISHED even in
little country paper. The stand-still.
old-time farmer, who farms as his
grandfather did, and who thinks he
knows enough, wont read anything bv
whomsoever written. He is a moss
back and back number, and is not in
the fight at all. The up-to-date. pro-
gressive fellow, on the other hand.
who believes in better stock, better
crops, better roads, better sermons.
better teaching, better newspapers,
better living, will be found either on
the front seat with the driver or
lighting his way like mad in order to
get there.

The Board of Visitors of the vir-
ginia Military Institute, after due de-
liberation, have voted unanimously to
sustain the action of Supt. Nichols in
dismissing the class of eighty cadets,
which he did on Feb. 10Th. The
Board ordered that this action should
not prejudice the case of any c@det
who might apply for re-enlistment in
the institution. The boys will have
time for sober thought, and will nc
doubt wish that their foresight had
been as good as their hindsight.

We do not undertake to say wheth-
err or not the measures adopted by the
Anti-Saloon League were wise OF
otherwise, because we do not know.
We do know, however that their ex-

IRENE, and imprudent. The League
should try to make friends for itself
even of the mammon of unrighteous-
ness.

Washington, July 26.--A remarka-
BILE series of facts which have come to
light within the last twenty-four
hours indicate that packers of EN-.
balmed beef are the influences that
have been principally behind the plot
to have DR.. w. II. Wiley ousted from
the public service.
Manufacturers OF embalmed beef
are at present, by virtue of an order
issued by the department of agricul-
ture, permitted to use benzoate OF
soda in whatever quantities they may
desire. DR.. Wiley not only opposed
the issuance of this order, maintain.
ing that the preservative is decidedly
harmful in its effects upon the human
system, but has worked untiringly to
educate the people to the danger lurk-
Ing in packed meats in which ben.
zoate Is used The result Is that sew.
era states have passed legislation
absolutely forbidding the use of the
drug in any quantity whatsoever
Therefore DR.. Wiley has become q
standing menace to the embalmed
beef industry. "This man Wiley has
got to CO." was the edict that went
out frcn the embalmed meat manu-
faCturers.
When Dr. Wiley held that benzoate
of soda was harmful to the human
system, the packers appealed to the
Remssen referee board, especially
packed with friends of the food dop-
ers, which board very promptly and
obligngly reversed Dr. Wiley. The
board held that benzoate OF soda in
small quantities, specified as five-
tenths of one gram per day, was NOT
Injurious to healthy persons. But
when the order was issued legalizlng
the use of benzoate, no Limitation
whatever was made as to the amount
of the drug the packers might use.
Remarkable circumstances attended
the Issuing of the order letting down
the bars to the food dopers. The or
der was issued on March 3, 1909, ana
was placed in circulation March A,
the day President Taft went into Of

telyou, Oscar S. Straus and James
Wilson, three cabinet officers, as re-
quired by law OF the three men, two

day and actually retired before the

This order giving government sane

products had not been used In the
