In view of what has happened
in the past week and of the events
that will transpire in the month
that follows, an editorial refer
ence to Senator Martins leader
ship by the New York American,
owned by William r. Hearst, is
of particular interest especially
when it is recalled that the
Hearst newspapers have never
been known to say a good word
for any man whom they believed
to be affiliated with the interests.
The principal passages of the
editorial in question are as fol-
lows:
1t is nothing more than JUS
tice to Senator Martin, the Of
fetal minority leader, to say that
his wise and capable leadership
has been potential to the making
|of the conference and effectiveness
|of the State Democrats. Senator
Martin deserves especial credit
for the tact and loyalty with
which he has brought the Senate
Democrats together. His fair
ness and ability have won the re-
lsoect and confidence of every
Democratic Senator. His votes
have been invariably with the
progressive wing of his party,
and his committee assignments
have been above criticism or COM
plant. He has demonstrated that
he is the right man for the place
he holds, and is entitled to the
thanks of his general party for
conspicuous service in time of
need" w. ]. S.

The Editor of the Harrisonbure
TIMES in his editorial cores
pondence from Shenandoah is
niiSiuformed as to some of his
statements. He reflects on the
HERALD for publishing poll
teal advertisement, the author
of which he alleges was unknown.
The author was known, but the
advertisement was not seen by the
Editor of this paper, before its
publication. When Mr.. Bowman
complained that the charges were
untrue, we very cheerfully pub
ished his side of the controversy.
The Herald made no charges, as
it was not acquainted with the
facts.
The Editor of the Times says:
1.-THE papers in Shenandoah
county absolutely controlled by
Hon. Joseph Bauserman, the
Martin leader in the county, have
in the last few weeks, been put
ting in some hard ticks for Mar
tin and Swanson.
We know nothing about the
other papers of the county. but
the Herald is not under the con-
troll of Mr.. Bauserman or any
other man, except the Editor
Political articles are published
for men of all parties, provided
the articles are not libelous and
are paid for.
While the paper is not used te
advance the interests of loca
candidates, it does not hesitate t.
express its preference for candi
dates for state and national of
fees.

futile effort to attract the public eye
to themselves and dstract from those
they seek to pull down.
THERE is NO RING THERE is
NO RING RULE CONTROLLING
THE DEMOCRACY OF VIRGINIA.
There is strong militant party with
chosen leaders of proven ability, 10y
atty and courage, which for nearly
thirty years has maintained unbroken
its control of Virginia, and the des-
TIMES of her people-a party that
looks with pride upon the officers,
Legislative. executive and judicial il
has given the Commonwealth and
points the finger of scorn and shame
at the men who attempted to place the
brand of RINGSTER upon their
brow.
| That the party has ruled Virginia
wisely and we'll is attested by the gIeat
| progress she has made along every
line of human effort. Martins ser
vices as senator have been pre-eml-
| nently valuable and satisfactory He
IS distinguished in an august body OF
istinguished men. He has been Sc
lected as the democratic leader in tie
senate, and he leads with great abil-
| ity, showing to the nation those ster-
ling qualities which Virginia long
since recognized and appreciated. The
congress of the United States is now
dealing with numerous questions OF
more vital Importance than have been
presented for solution within the last
fifty years, involving policies which
the National Democracy have been
advocating and pushi ng to the front
for years, with which Martin is more
familiar and more capable of hand
ling than any new man could poss-
IDLY be. He is growing daily in in
huence and power and in the estima-
ton of his fellow senators.
| Virginia and the nation need Mar
tin and it would be worse than folly
should the Virginia democracy fai, to
return him to the senate.
| Look at him-sticking closely to his
post doing his duty as public SER
want without regard to his personal
interest, although his opponent, a
member of the house of representa-.
tives NOW IN SESSION has beer
absent and upon the stump for sew
eral weeks.
l cannot see why any Democrat hav.
ing an eye single to the interests OF
of his State can fail to support Mar
tin. AS for myself l say, stick to your
post, senator, de your duty to your
State and Virginia democracy vii
take care of the consequences.

about our brilliant young junior SEN
ator, whose candidacy cordia lily en-
dorse. r. A. AYERS.

NEGRO BURNED AT THE STAKE

COatesville, Pa, Aug. IA mob
of more than 100 invaded the Coates
vile hospital last night and after
fighting the physicians guarding FAC
harias Walker, a negro, who killed
Edgar Rice, special Waterman Sat-
urday night, dragged him on his cot
to farm quarter of mile distanl
and burned him to death on d pile of
fence rails, Coatesville is thirty eight
miles west of Philadelphia.
After shooting Rice, who had gone
to the aid of . man who was being
robbed, Walker was pursued through
the woods by . posse, and when be
found that escape was impossible he
used his remaining bullet in an at.
tempt to kill himself Walker was in
cherry tree when he fired and The
ball entered his head. He dropped to
the ground unconscious.
He was picked up by the posse OF
which A. S. Jackson of the Lukens
Iron Works was the leader and after
being brought to the police station
was taken to the hospital.
After carrying the negro toa farm on
the outskirts hf the city the posse took
him from the hospital stood guard
over him with drawn guns, while the
majority of men and boys tore down
fence rails and carried hay and straw
from the barn. When large heap OF
timber and straw had been placed or
one side of the farm against fence

"A. F. Thomas, ESQ.,, spoke IN
on Monday in opposi-
ton to the candidacy of Senators
Martin and Swanson. The audi
ence was not a large one, and
composed of considerable num-
Der of republicans, probably a
large majority. Among those
who took prominent place within
the rail of the Court room were:
John N. Coffman, Chairman OF
the republican party, and post
master of Edinburg; B b. Bow
man republican candidate for the
Legislature; Hon. R. J. Walker,
M. L. Hite, A. G. Shaver, Will
liam Shaver and others, promlrl-
ent republicans, with NJ. L. Wal
ton and about five other demo
Gratis constituting the number
within the rail. The remaining
part of the rather small audience
was constantly shifting and con-
sisted of republicans, supporters
of Senators Martin and Swanson,
and a few Jones and Glass sup
porters.
Mr.. Thomas made the usual
attack upon Martin and Swanson.
It will be remembered that Mr..
Thomas was the gentleman that
came out in a long interview
against the candidacy of Senator
Daniels a few years ago; that
!Mr. Thomas recently ran for
Office in his district and was de-
feated. It has been stated IN
public print that during the
strenuous campaign of Henry C..
Stuart in Southwest Virginia
that Mr.. Thomas favored the
candidacy of Slemp. republican
candidate for Congress in the
9th District, while Senators Mar
tin and Swanson were riding ana
speaking all over that District IN
an effort to do what could be
done to elect Mr.. Stuart.
The great majority of people
seem to think that in view of the
probable election of a democratic
President, and the consequent
change of National Administrat-
ton, the political and business
interests of our State and of the
party, would be promoted by the
retention of Senator's Martin and
Swanson. ID.
