THE TARIFF BOARD

The tariff Board appointed by the
President two years ago, was appoint
ed under the Payne-A ldrich Act, and
was not intended to be permanent
board, but its powers have been en-
larged, and it's tenue of life prolong-
ed indefinitely. The Board is compos-
ed of five members. three Republicans
and two Democrats, all of whom, we
believe. were college professors, not
in close touch with the people, except
one, viz: Mr.. Saunders, editor of The
Breeders Gazette. All of them are
protectionists. The names and pro-
fessions of the Board are as follows:
Henry c. Emery. Republican, Pro-
fessor of Political Economy, Yale,
Chairman.
Avlin II. Saunders, Republican, ed
itor and proprietor of the Breeder s
Gazette. and chairman of the Ameri-
can reciprocity league.
Jas b. Reynolds, Republican, form
er assistant secretary of the treasury,
charged with trying to stop or pre-
vent investigation of the sugar
weighing frauds, secretary of the
Massachusetts Republican State
Committee for about ten years.
William H. Howard, Congressman
from Georgia for seven terms, retired
by the people for joining with Tam
many Democrats to prevent overthrow
of Speaker Cannon.
Thomas w. Page, formerly profess
sor in the University of California,
and professor of political economy in
University of Virginia when appoint
ed by MIR. Taft.
The sum of $3.50, 600 was appro-
priated to pay expenses of the Board.
1t remains for somebody to show
that this board is better qualified than
Congress to revise the tariff. The
matter seems now to be in 1.-THE
hands of its friends.'

SHOULD MAKE A FIGHT

| A number of Democrats have asked
this office who they must vote for,
and what they shall do in the election
for Clerk int his county. Our rule is
to advise always that man vote in
telligently, and as his conscience die
tates. Vote for the best man. Voto
right. AS between two loyal Repub-
licans there may not be much choice
other things being equal. In this race
so far, the Democrats have no can.
didate. They must vote for one mr. tha
other of the Republican candidates. or
not vote at all. as they see fit. DIR
Greever has taken special pains to de-
clare openly, through the press and
otherwise, that he is a loyal Republi
can, has been such for years, and is
running as Republican, with no
entangling alliances" For thirty
years, says DR.. Greever, al have
stood with the Republican party in
this county in every honest endeavor
she has made. l take off my hat to
no man in length of term of service
or party loyalty" Mr.. Barns is a
Standpat" Republican, chairman of
the party i'll the county for years. DR..
Greever charges that he is a a mem
Der of a Ring" which controls
things here for its own benefit, etc.
So. there is no question as to the fact
that both these gentlemen are died
in the-wool Republicans, and the
Democrats will take their choice. We
nave awlays commended that there
should be division of the offices of
the county, and avoid these bitter and
expensive contests. If the dominant
party was not quite so office hungry
and greedy, and would argee to any,
thing like an equitable division of the
offices there would be no fight, and the
best men of both parties would be put
in control. No one party has a right
to monopolize the Offices of a county
or town unless suitable men for the
offices are to be found only in their
party. Until this is done there will
continue to be bitter expensive fights
and contests. So far as we are advis-
ed. at this writing, no division of the
office of clerk has been proposed or
stated, by either of the candidates for
clerk.or for either of the other Offices.
Both the candidates would no doubt
IKE to carry the Democratic vote in
the county. but so far as we are in
formed, have made no bids for the
same, and in fact have seemed to take
special pains to emphasize the fact

This editorial is call to every
Democrat in this county and senator
ial district for senatorial convention
to nominate candidate for the state
senate of Virginia. We don't know
why this convention has not been call
ed already by the proper authorities,
but this is neither here nor there. 1t
is not too late, and in our judgment,
there is every reason why such a con-
vention should be called as soon as
possible, at some suitable place, and
a candidate put in the field against
the candidate of the Republican par
ty. If the district is to be represented
by Repub lican we know of no man
in the district that we would rather
vote for than our townsman, Mr..
Royal, the nominee of the Repu blican
party, but this is not the year to be
turning over everything to the Repub-
ilcans without an effort to redeem"
the district, and put it along side the
other districts of the State in the
Democratic column. The district has
been represented by the Republican
ring long enough.
This is the very best opportunity
the Democrats have had for years to
elect their candidate. Stuart was de-
feated last year by only about 200
votes in the Senatorial district. COM
posed of Tazewell, Russell, Dicken
son and Buchanan, and the prospects
seem brighter nav than they were
then. The chairmen of these counties
have the right to call convention.
Let it be called, say at Honaker. or
some other suitable and convenient
and put good man in the field, and
go to work and elect him. Whether
he is elected or not it will show that
the party in the district proposes to
do its best to keep step with their
brethren in other parts of the country
who are forging to the front. This

in this county and district are in a
position to fight. In Russell and other

recent action that they are tired of

strong as formerly. in these DAYS of
progressive insurgency The time
seems to have come when a desire To

not be the highest incentive of our

characteristics of this country and its
people he made his talk exceedingly

experiences there. lie mentioned the
fact that China is the largest country
in the world, yet has vast %untapped

spirit. The speaker dwelt long and
t%Ouchingly upon the horrible practice
of binding the feet of the girls. The
process is begun when the girls are
from four to six years of age and is
continued without intermittence for
about five years. This slow pro-
cess of feet crushing proves fatal to
over ten per cent, which means that
about fifteen million girls per genera
ton succumb to the terrible practice.
In addition to this there are from fifty
to n hundred millions per generation

others to abolish the terrible custom

WILL GET THE BONDS FIRST.

The city council met is special SEES
sion Monday evening to discuss some
matters in connection with the new
city hall. A number of citizens ap-
peared and spoke in behalf of various
organizations that expect to be ac-
c~ommodated in the building and a
number Of plans were shown. How
ever, the council believes that it is
just as we'll to let the question of plans
rest until the taxpayers of the city
decide whether they want the new
building. Then there will be ample
time to discuss plans. 1t can be safe
ly stated, though, that the council as
we'll as the majority of citizens be-
lieve that the city hall, if it is built,
should be used first of all for the ac-
c~ommOdatiOn of the city officers and
departments. Then if there is room
left it is well enough to zen it out.
