When Pride Is Justified

Far too many mortals are vain and
self satisfied because of some Temporal
~ mercenary advantage, and in their
eagerness to display that advantage at
every opportunity often destroy their
greatest blessing, the physical counter
part of sunshine, which is their olr1 heath.
Neglected colds, irregular meals, over
loaded stomachs and night reveIry re-
suit in shattered nerves, depressed Wig
or and fatigue, all of which invite de-
cline and disease.
Each person stands sentinel at the
portals of his own health and he who
guards, protects, strengthens and builds
up rugged constitution is justified in
pride and finds therein his own recon-
pense-the capacity to enjoy the full
ness Of life.
The strain of modern commercial and
social living taxes strength and energy
and in maintaining the highest self
efficiency we should not only cultivate
deep breathing, out-of-door exercise,
regularity and temperance in all things,
but study the greatest of Ill physical

Western Railroads Fight
Back Home" Movement

Big Stone Gap, Va, March l2.-J. A.
T. Bacon, who recently came here from
Seattle, Wash, says the Back Home"
movement is giving the railroads and
land-sharks in the west more concern
than anything else. Said he, "just be-
fore l left the Coast an agent Of the
Southern Pacific Railroad told me that
they had sold 1900 tickets at Wash
ington and Oregon points in the last
three months to people coming back
east. But the worst feature OF the
movement, as it is regarded out there,
is its influence in keeping people from
going west.
In the west" said Mr.. Bacon,
taking games and sharp trading are
the principal topics of conversation, and
suckers from the east, as people from
the east are called, are always a nee
essary part of such schemes. Any man
who goes out from Eastern Kentucky,
Southwest Virginia or East Tenn ssee
for the purpose of making a comfort
able home elsewhere is making a very
serious mistake"
The Wise county, Virginia, number of
The Back Home Magazine is now be-
ing mailed to people at over 500 post
offices in the West and Northwest.

"The West Virginia Hills.

Bearwsllow, Va, March u, 1912.
Editor Republican,
Spring has come at last. but it looks
to US like it is winter still. Old people
say this has been an old-fashioned win
ter, and if they are right, we don't
blame the young folks for following
new fashions.
A few days ago as l rode down the
ridge-the great divide" that sepa-
rates the two Virginiss-I turned NY
gaze to the right and beheld one Of the
most beautiful scenes imaginable. As
far as the eye could reach the purple
hills Of West Virginia rose one above
the other, until they gradually melted
and mingled into the hazY overhanging
clouds.
Long did my eyes wander over the en-
chanting view, and great was my de-
light as l gazed down upon the land
scape that lay spread out before me.
All the poetical feelings within me were
aroused, and although a native of the
dear 'Old Dominion, began to sing
The West Virginia Hills" / was
chanting the beautiful anthem TO my
self when l was interrupted by the
hoarse cry of an iron horse coming down
Dry Fork laden with the untold wealth
and riches Of those hills. Then my
thoughts began to stray back to the
past, before the shrill cry of the smok-
ing monster rent the pure atmosphere
of the peaceful hills. back to the time
when the mountain huntsmen breathed
the pure ife-givipg air, yes, back to
the time when the mountains were still
clothed in their virgin forest and before
their faces were SCARED by the onward

The Mexican Problem.
New Orleans Times Democrat.

New Orleans Times Democrat.
For Americans the Mexican problem
IS extremely complex. Only under the
direst duress would we interfere, nor
could we permit Europe to do so, unless
We were prepared to disregard the Mon
roe doctrine. And yet is plain that we
cannot permit the interests of all for
elgners to be imperiled by the orgy of
personal matters across the border.
The Cuban factions were recently mott
fled that they must keep the peace else
we should send ships and troops to do
the work. Yet Cuba was in one sense.
far less menace than Mexico is TODAY.
for the sea separates US from the Pearl
OF the Antilles, whereas Americans may
be slain by shots from Mexican soil.
We might possess our souls in patience
If some great issue were in process of
settlement, but there is no incentive TO
patience when the turmoil is created By
malcontents who would not reform ex-
listing evils if they could. Personal pol
itics of this type means an endless
chain of revolution and riot Diaz had
grave faults but he at least justified his
revolt against Lerdo by keeping the
peace for thirty.five years. Madero
has not so far justified his coup detat
in this way nor is there the slightest
reson to believe that he resembles Diaz

The following tribute of respect was
adopted recently by Wilburton Lodge
No. 14l, A. F. and A. F., of WIlburton,
Okla, on the death Of their brother.
Jonas r. Sparks, a former resident of
this county:
Whereas it has pleased the Supreme
Grand Master of the universe, in His
wisdom and goodness to take from US

event occurred on the night of Febru-
airy 13, 1912, and
Whereas. Brother Sparks has been a
faithful and consistent member of our
Lodge since affiliating last year, there
fore be it resolved
a. That in the death of our be-
loved brother this Lodge has lost one of
its best and most earnest members, the
wife, husband whose place cannot be
filled, the children, father, the loss of
whom is great and sore affection to
them.
(2) That while we sorrow among
ourselves the loss of our brother, we
deeply sympathize with the bereaved
mother and children, and commend
them to God, who alone can console in
this their sad bereavement.
81 That while we sorrow, it is not
despondently, but hopefully, and we
look with earnest faith to the time when
this Lodge in the Harvest Home"
shall meet our brother around the great
White Throne, and lay down our jewels
at the Grand Masters feet.
BE it further resolved that copy Of
these resolutions be furnished the be-
reaved wife.

1t has been well pointed out that the
modern country school house because of
its better equipment of desks and other
furniture is not SO convenient for social
gatherings, and that perhaps tells
somewhat against country life But
with the Increasing wealth and other
advantages now enjoyed by farmers it
ought to be possible to have hall or
room in some central point in a dis
trict where farmers and their families
could meet frequently for social doings
and for discussion Of various subjects.
1t would add greatly to the attraction

HONEST ADVERTISING.

The session of the Virginia Legisla
ture that closed on Saturday did mucl
that was harmful and of which this pa
per will have something to say from
time to time, but they also passed som'
good legislation. Among the good bill.
that passed was one to prevent fraudu
lent advertising.
The title of the bill is "A bill to pre-
vent untrue, deceptive and misleading
advertising and making such advertis
ing misdemesnor. Its text reads a
follows:
''Be it enacted by the General
Assembly of Virginia, That any

citation who. with intent TO sell or
in any wise dispose of merchandise,
securities, service, or anything Of
fered by such person, firm, corpor-
alton or association, directly or in
directly, to the public for sale or
distribution, or with intent to in
crease the consumption thereof, or
to induce the public in any manner
20 enter into any obligation relating
thereto, OF to acquire title thereto,
or an interest therein, makes, pub
fishes, disseminstes, circulates, or
places before the public, OF causes,
directly or Indirectly, to be made,
published, disseminated, circulated,
or placed before the public, in this

The present weather conditions may
not be suggestive of beautiful school
grounds, yet it is the very time when
thought should be given to making i'm
provements that will transform dilapi-
dated buildings and towsly yards into
places to gladden. the eyes OF passersby.
All over the country there are ruinous
looking and uupainted school buildings
standing by the roadside and school
yards overgrown with weeds and uncut
grass. How is it possible for such con-
ditions to mentally stimulate children or
fill them with love of the beautiful?
The reverse is true, and not unlikely,
many shiftless, careless and unambi-
tious man and woman has been brought
to that condition largely through the
shiftless and depressing surroundings
of their school life If that is true, as
unquestionably it is, then it just as
surely follows that clean, attractive
and well equipped school buildings, and
pleasant school grounds with well kept
shrubs and trees must have refining
influence upon the scholars and that in
fiuence will, in many cases, make for
the transformation of home life.

Surgeons Describe Wound.

Chicago.-Physicians on board the
Roosevelt train have informed the
Chicago specialists that the bullet en-
tered under the right nipple, pene
trated three inches of muscle and flesh
and is lodged in the abdominal wall.
1t was ct first thought it had
dropped into the pertoneal cavity, but
later examinations located it as lightly
lodged in the wall of the abdomen.
Chicago surgeons say it will be a
comparatively simple operation to re
move it, If it does not drop into the
abdominal cavity.
1t was decided that DR. Bevan should
be Colonel Roosevelt's physician. and
the others act as consulting experts.
1t was decided after conference
of the physicians that he would be

he will be removed to the Presbyterian
