Several requests have come to
us for information as to the OBJ
iect of the boy scout mOvent."
It can hardly be plainly set forth
10 a few words, but the leaders
emphatically insist that they have
no wish to produce a generation
of soldiers; that the military cast
has been entirely discarded in
America. The boy scouts have
no drill and are prohibited from
carrying weapons other than
pocketknives.
The duties elaborated in the
scout law are such as forbid "
ing, enjoin courtesy, obedience,
loyalty, kindness to animals,
cheerfulness and even thrift.
Disobedience to the law win cause
a scout to be expelled from the
order. The following is given as
the boy scout law:
"A scouts honor is to be trust
ed; a scout is loyal to his country
his officers, his parents and his
employers. A scouts duty is to
be useful and to help others. A
scout is a friend to all; and a
brother to every other scout, no
matter to what social class the
other belongs. A scout must
never be a snob. A scout obeys
orders Of his parents, patrol lead
ers or scout master, without a
question. A scout smiles and
whistles under all circumstances.
A scout never swears when put
out. And a scout is thrifty; that
is, he saves every penny he can
and puts it into the bank"
ErneSt oeat0n, the originator
of the movement, says: Partly
through the growth OF immense
cities, with the consequent spec
ialization Of industry. so that each
individual has been required to
do one small thing and shut his
eyes to everything else; partly
through the decay of small farm
ing, which would Offset this con-
dition; and partly through the
sterotyped forms of religion los-
ing their hold, we see a very diff
ferent type Of youth growing up
IN the country today The boy
scout movement is intended 10
combat this system, which has
turned such large proportion Of
our robust, manly, self-reliant
boyhood into lot Of hat-chested
cigarette smokers, with shaky
nerves and doubtful vitality.

In a speech delivered in Richmond on

serious charge relative to the judiciary
of Virginia. AS a man in heated DO

speech, but from his later and more de-

Again, in Richmond, on May 14th, he

Now Is The Time To Get Busy.

The danger to health from the house.
ny has been studied by scientists, has
peen exploited by physicians, has been
discussed by entomologists, has been
acted upon by Boards of Health in our
cities, has been considered by all kinds
OF organizations and societies, but little
OF this agitation has found its wav into
the country districts. The fiv problem
is one which the farm man and farm
housewife must of necessity work ont
togeather. / know q man who made
screens for his house last season-two
doors and four windows, complete. well
made, well hung-at a cost of 81. 25. His
nearby neighbor, in an unscreened
house, had case of typhoid fever in
the home which cost the family $500.
not to mention the suffering, anxiety
and fatlgne which long, serious illness
means to the entire family.
Because the fly has been found to be
an important factor it the spread of ty-
phoid fever, it has been fittingly termed
the typhoid fly" 1t might be called
the tuberculosis fly" or ''diphtheria
f1y'' because it picks up these germs
and carries them into our homes. There
Is an enormous increase in the death
rate or children from diarrheal diseases
during the summer months. The fiy Is
responsible for it. A single fly speck
may contain 5000 germs. Have we
thought seriously of the expense of dis
ease and drudgery to a family, to q

ease In our families in the Community

County Politics.
Clinch Valley News.

Clnch Valley News.
The political situation in this county
Is peculiar. The Republicans have two
candidates for the clerkship. One of
them, Mr.. Barns, is regarded as "a
Standpat" Republican. He is chairman
of the party in this county. and. of
course a member of the machine. if
there is ring or machine. The other
candidate, DR.. c. W. Greever. is re-
garded as an lnsurgent Republican. and
said to be member of the "Proores-
sive" wing of the party. In the split
and mixup which occurred over the
bond issue question, DR.. Greever fiocked
with the progressives. Mr.. Barns. so
far as is known, took no active part
either for or against the issuance of
bonds, which was, however, in no sense
political question, but which aroused
the entire county and precipitated a
great fight. Democrats, for the most
part, were for the bond issue, and unit
ed with the Progressive Republicans
and won out hands down. Since the
election the Democrats and Progressive
Republicans, having stood together and
won out in one great fight, are inclined
to still stand together, and in this con-
test for the clerkship will be likely to
vote almost solidly 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 ring Candidate, " for the
Democrats hold the ''balance of power
and all, of course, against the ''ring,"
If there be ring" The natural thing
to do, is to call off one of the candi-
dates 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 har-
mony." This is the usual course pur-
sued under such circumstances. Few.
II any of the people believe that DR..
Greever will "come off" under any cir
cumstances. They say that he cannot
afford to do so. His chances for cleo
ton are too good, they say, and besides,
after all that has been said and done all
the way through, DR.. Greever must and
will stick to it to the end. We don't
want to be understood as saying that an
effort has been made to get DR.. Gree
yer off. We don't know. Only, ac-
cording to the game, as usually played,
this would be the natural thing to do.
One thing is certain: Should it occur
for any reason, that DR.. Greever should
come off the ticket, the Democrats will
put up man against the machine can
didate, and give him lively race. AS
matters now stand, it is not thought
that the Democrats will nominate q can
didate, but divide their votes between
the two already in the field. Some will |
vote for Mr.. Barns, and some for DR.. |
Greever, as they may prefer, and the |
candidate who gets the largest Demo- |
cratic vote will get there with both feet. |
Democratic votes should be worth pre-
MUM this year.

SLIPPERY POLITICS.

SLH XII TULtiiuOs
If the Clinch Valley News was half as
smart as it is meddlesome, it would
cease trying to bamboozle the Republi-
cans Of Tazewell county by making graf
uitous suggestions as to how they are
managing and how they should manage
their party affairs. In every recent
election for county officers the News
has tried this same game; but its insid-
ious purpose has been so apparent that
Republicans have laughed at the ludi-
crous stupidity which the News has ex-
hibited its fruitless efforts to get up
friction between Republicans.
In the issue of the Clinch Valley News
of the 4th instant there appeared an
editorial: County Politics." which is
the most artlessly artful endeavor it has
ever made to mislead and deceive the
Republicans of the county. We repro
duce that article in another column and
ask every Republican in Tazewell coun-
ty to carefully inspect it, and see how
easy it will be to find the cloven hoof in
every line thereof.
The effort of the News to draw dis
tinction between the Republication of
Mr.. Barns and DR.. Greever, both of
whom are candidates as Republicans for
the county clerkship, is extremely ab-
surd. One is called ''Standpat Repub-
hcan" and the other is named an I'm
surgent Republican.
Last year the News and the other
Democrats generally undertook with
evil intent to classify Republicans in the
Ninth District in the same way. DR..
Greever was then as jealous supporter
of Mr.. Slemp as was Mr.. Barns, and
both were at that time what the News
calls ''Standpat" Republicans. And the
very evident desire of the News to keep
both Mr.. Barns and DR.. Greever in the
field as Republican candidates, with the
suggestion that the Democrats will di-
vide their votes between them, is a pal
pable trick, as is proven by the declara-
ton of the News:
"One thing is certain: should it
occur, for any reason, that DR..
Greever should come off the ticket,
the Democrats will put up man
against the machine candidate and
give him lively race"
But the extreme solicitude of the
Clinch Valley News and the Tazewell
Democrats over the peculiar" political
situation in this county has already been
discounted by the Republicans. On last
Thursday the Republican committee for
this county met at Tazewell and ordered
that convention be called to meet at
Tazewell on the End of September for
the purpose of nominating a candidate
for clerk of the circuit court That con-
vention will be held, will select candi-
date, and the Republicans will rally, as
heretofore, to the candidate of their
party. Then let the Democrats make
good the threat of the News and put I'D
their candidate, and we promise that
the licking the Republicans will give
him will be as complete as the race will
be ''lively."
Everybody can see through the trans
parent scheme of the Democrats to keep
two Republican candidates in the race
and to avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity to slip Democrat in.
