The Tazewell Republican walls
over the action of the legislature in
transferring the three counties to
the Sixth district. So far as we re-
member the Republican was mute
when democratic Craig was put in
the Sixth district a few years ago.
Lebanon News.
The errors of democratic papers would
be amusing were it not that their ignor-
ance is so pitiful. Tazewen, Bland and
Giles have not been placed in the Sixth,
and at this writing there's but little
prospect that they will be. This paper
never said anything about Craig going
to the Sixth, for the very good reason
that 1t was placed in the Tenth-for the
sole purpose of keeping that district
from going republican, as it had ac-
quired habit of doing.

The falling off of immigration pre-
vents the immigration problem from be-
ing quite so keen as it once was, and
the more stringent laws regarding the
admission of migrants enacted in re-
cent years have also relieved the situa-
ton to some extent. Yet the fact that
253, 500 out of the 1,O41, $40 people who
came to our shores in 1910 could neither
read nor write has it's lesson for this
nation. Intelligence and patriotism are
essential for the safety of any nation.
This means that it is imperative that
these tens of thousands of illiterate I'M
migrants become Americanized in every
sense of the word, or, failing that with
the older people, that their children
shall be so instructed that they will be
a positive gain to the material and in
tellectual forces of the nation. To this
end our public schools do splendid SER
vice, but for the moral and religious
training of this vast yearly increase to
the population the duty must fall mainly
upon religious agencies.

If each one would keep his premises
clean and tidy how quickly the "city
beautiful would be realized. The ex-
cellent results of individual effort would
speedily lead to concerted effort to re-
move public eyesores and transform
waste places and neglected spots into
gems of beauty. Let it not be forgot
ten that good things are contagious as
well as are bad things, and the good ex-
ample set by one person and another in
this matter of town improvement will
lead others to do likewise.

the greatest prosperity can only come
to southern farmers through a system
of diversified farming and this means
that we must keep more livestock and
feed them better. This thing of south
