TAKING NOTES
{ Boston Globe.)

Mr.. John ID. Rockefeller shows the
religious side of his character by tax
ing notes of n sermon i'm order to read
it to his sick wife. The notetakinp
habit is useful one. When this great
iinancier becomes his own stenograph
ernie is indulging in pleasant occu-
patton. A knowledge of shorthand is
a good accomplishment for any one.
Its usefulness is unquestioned. ANY
one capable of taking photographic
notes need not necessarily be speedy
enough for professional work. If any
one can merely take notes two or
three times as fast as he could by
using longhand he can catch and pre-
serve important data. For most
Americans knowledge of shorthand
is of far more Importance than the
requirement of foreign language,
ms the latter cannot he used often and
is easily forgotten. In the public
sch ools it's pursuit would soon make
pupils better spoilers and writers. as
well rs more accurate in their pro-
and grammar.

A Pertinent Question

How can Democrat become il Re-
publican?
Some time ago the que stion was up
as to whether or not Republicans who
pledged support at the regular cleo
ton should be allowed to participate
in the primary. 1t was decided that
he should not unless he had previously
voted with the Democrats, that to
vote Democratic ticket, and this
only, made man n Democrat. So,
likewise, to vote Republican ticket
makes a man Republican. From
what we can learn number of Dem
ocrats will vote for Republican next
Tuesday. That is to say, they propose
to become Republicans, according to
the standard fixed by the Democrats.
Will they do so? Does any Democrat
in this county propose to vote for n
Republican in preference to a Demo-
crat? How many Republicans will
vote, or ever did vote, for Demo
crat under like circumstances 1--WE are
not urging any man to violate his
word or go back on his pledge. If I'M
equivocally and Internationally pied
ged to Republican, he should keep
his pledge, but such pledges are usu-
ally made conditional, and whenever
possible the Democrat should ask to
be released from the pledge, now that
Democrat is on the ticket. Stand by
your colors though you go down in
defeat!
All fusion offers and compromises
have been refused. There is nothing
else to do but to stand pat.

ENDORSE MR.. GRAHAM

The Democratic County Committee
met last Saturday, and endorsed the
candidacy of S. M. Graham, for Clerk
of the Court of this County. This
was the right thing to do. The Clinch
Valley News has begged from the be-
ginning that full ticket be put out,
and we regret now that there is not
Democratic nominee for every office
to be filled in the county. We should
have insisted upon this course had
there been only dozen Democrats in
the county. First of all we are in
favor of mixed ticket for county
Offices, but failing in this we see no
reason on earth why full, straight
out Democratic ticket should not be
nominated. If the Republicans refuse
to unite, and meet us half way, as
they have declined to do in the pre-
sent instance, as well as heretofore,
then it is suicidal from n party point
of view, to clay down., and let the
enemy walk over us.
In the case of Mr.. Graham's can
didacy, it is understood that an honest
sincere effort was made by the Demo
Gratis to induce Dr. Greever to divide
the Office. He continuously and posi-
lively refused to do so. Many of the
Democrats wished to vote for him as
against the ring or machine candi-
date, but when he, strangely and per-
sistently declined to form any alliance
whatever, the county committee
could do nothing less than oppose him
with Democrat.
And, so, the issue is clearly drawn
now. 1t is Democrat against Republi-
can. The duty of every Democrat is
clear. Sink or swim, win or lose,
vote straight, clear Democratic tie
ket, or none at all.

Bust The Ring

Bust the Ring" is the slogan.
What better opportunity to bust the
ring have the Democrats ever had
than now, with two staunch Republi-
cans in the field opposing each other,
and the party split wide open? The
idea of busting the ring" by voting
for one of these staunch Republicans
against good Democrat, is about
the strangest, if not the widest
political scheme we have known.

LISTEN DEMOCRATS

Slemp beat Stuart by about $50
votes. Doesn't it look as though,
with two Republican candidates in
the field, this small majority of $50
can be wiped out entirely? If the
Democrats line up with their 1850
votes with the Republican vote any
thing like evenly divided between
DIR. Greever and Mr.. Barnes, what
will be the result? 1t requires little

YOUR CORN FODDER

More corn fodder will be fed this
year than for years past, owing to the
scarcity and high price of hay Fodder
should he put in the dry if possible.
Fodder standing in the field, subject
ed to wind, rain, etc, will depreciate
rapidly. The quality is not the best
this year, anyway, and it becomes the
more necessary to take good care of
it.

Free if it Fails
Your Money Back if You are not
Satisfied With the Medicine
We Recommend

We are so positive that our
remedy will permanently relieve
constipation, no matter how
chronic ii may be, that we offer
to furnish the medicine AT our
expense should it fail to produce
satisfactory results.
1t Is worse than useless TO at
tempt to cure constipation with
cathartic drugs. Laxatives or
cathartics do much harm. They
cause a reaction, irritate, and
weaken the bowels and tend to
make constipation more chronic
Besides, their use becomes a
habit that is dangerous.
Constipation is caused by a
weakness of the nerves and
muscles of the large intestine or
descending colon. To expect
permanent relief you must there
lore tone up and strengthen these
organs and restore them to health
Ter activity.
We want you to try Rexall
Orderlies on our recommendation
They are exceedingly pleasant to
take, being eaten like candy, and
are ideal for ceildren, delicate
persons, and old folks, rs well
as for the robust. They act dir
ectly on the nerves and muscles
OF the bowels. They apparently
have natural action on other
associate organs or glands. They
90 not purge, cause excessive
iooseness, nor create any incon-
venience whatever. They NAV
be taken at any time, day or night
They will positively relieve chroni
or habilnal constipation, il not of
surgical variety, and the myraids
OF associate or dependant chronic
ailments, if taken with regularity
Tor a reasonable length TO time.

Bad Spelling

DR.. James A. James, profe ssor Of
History at Northwestern University.
Evanston, ILL.,. is discouraged at the
inability of the rising generation to
spell correctly, which he attributes to
the WORD" method of teaching
child to read and spell before it has
learned the alphabet. The Brooklyn
Eagle also deplores the eecrablc spell
ling of the younger people and agrees
with DR.. James as to the cause of the
trouble, adding:
Sometime, perhaps, the expert
menters with our schools will come to
respect our copybook maxim, There
is no royal road to knowledge. If
you want to spell in English you
must try long and hard. There is no
other method than by memory train
ing to master the infinite variety of
our twisted and convoluted language.
Even Dogberry was never ass enough
to say that spelling comes by nat
ure, along with reading and writing.
That idiocy was left for the 'educat-
ors' of the last decade of the nine
tcenth century. 1t is likely to take
their successors pretty nearly all of
the present decade to overcome the
consequences of their presumptuous
folly"
There is neither royal road nor n
short cut to knowledge. and the abo-
lition of the a b c's with any such
idea in view is regarded by many of
the leading educators of the country
as a mistake. The "word" method
is now employed in the public sch ools
of most of the states, but its incre as
ing unpopularity foreshadows it's a.
abandonment sooner or later and a re-
turn to the old blueback spe Her. -

HIGH FOOD PRICES
 CAUSE BIG RIOTS

Paris, September 1.-Premier Caillaux today discussed with members of the cabinet measures designed to lower the prices of food
 Processions, town meetings, the sack ing of shops and detached incidents of violence in numerous places in the north ern departments continue. At Saint Quentin rioting which broke out yester- day evening over the high prices of food lasted all night. A regiment of infantry and a squadron of cavalry called out to quell the disturbances were unable to cope with the mob, which plundered shops in widely separated streets at the same time.
 The cavalry frequently charged into the crowds and several of the cavalry men were pulled from their horses and beaten. Twenty of the rioters were taken to the hospital severely injured.
 At Lens, trade is completely at stand still today owing to the fear of expected food riots. The shutters have been put upon all shop windows.
