a crisis when it is fairly upon us.
Yet we seldom know beforehand lust
when real crisis is going to come

need that President Henry Churchill
King has said, 81 don't attach so
much to the great crisis as to what

by the man who for years has been

A PUBLIC CRIME.

Several cases of typhoid fever are
reported in and around the town.
Typhoid fever is Il preventable dis
ease. The existence of case, and
every case, is an evidence of ignor-
ance, carelessness or indifference on
the part of somebody. All medical
authorities and Boards of Health say
that this is the case. Consumption is
preventable, so is smallpox, diph-
iberia, scarlet fever, and othe dread
diseases, annd where these diseases
prevail there is unmistakable and
positive proof of culpability some
where.
1t is certain that the water supply
is the most frequent and fruitful
source of infection. In certain sec
tions mosquitoes, rats and other ami
mails spread disease. The common
househy is prolific carrier of di-
sease. All these sources of disease
are being looked after in most cities
and towns, with gratifying success.
Every town and county now has its
Board of Health. health officers, town
councils or some such body of men
who are supposed to look out and
prevent, as far as possible, the breed
ing of disease, or mt least to enable
the people to protect and take care of
themselves. Tazewel has defective
water. Only this, (Monday) morning
the writer drew bucket of water
from the hydrant for his horse. The
water was so black and thick that it
was thrown away, not being con-
sidered fit for horse. A neighbor
called in while this article was being
written and said, "what are we to
do about our water. We cannot use
it at our house." And so it goes. The
water in this town frequently is so
foul with mud or what not as to be
unfit for stock. The people are tax
payers. The Sergeant never fails to
come around with water tax tickets.
The people are already saying that
the payment of this water tax is rob
berry, and, if they could get encour-
agement would rebel and refuse to
pay it. This matter has been talked
of before, but up to this good hour
not one thing has been done. In the
meantime, the doctors and trained
nurses are having a harvest. What
is climate, cool breezes. convenient
surroundings, etc., worth if we are
TO be preyed upon by disease?
In addition, this town has an open
sewer running its entire length, said
to be a constant menace to the public
health. The physicians say so, and
they ought to know. The town has as
much or more wealth than any town
of equal size in this State or any
other State. 1t isn't money we lack,
about the disposition or know ledge,
or both. to make this community
what it rightly should be, the most
comfortable and desirable residence
town in the State. This paper offers
no apology or excuse for again bring
ing up this matter. The conditions
are intolerable and becoming more so.
How long, oh, how long!

Isolation As Cause OF Insanity

Lynchburg News:
The Staunton Leader is disposed to
agree with the conclusion stated by a
western farm Journal to the effect
that the presence of more farmers
wives in insane asylums than any
other class of women is due to the
drudgery and hard work. which farm
life entails. cit has been shown of
late, says the Leader, ''that of all
workers the farmers wife has fewest
and poorest tools. While the farmer
has supplied himself with all the lat
est machinery for making and har-
vesting his crop. his wife has not had
water in the house, but has been com
PEELED to carry it for some distance
from we'll or spring; wood has not al
ways been supplied in proper quaint
ties and conditions, ready to her hand
and as for cooking utensils and con-
veniences. she has been compelled to
get along with few pots and pans
and skillets."
All this may be true. but it is an
entirely new idea to us, that hard,
manual labor is conducive to mental
arrangement. Nor will such theory
find anything like general acceptation
1t is quite true that many farmers
wives toll over-much, and get along
with too few domestic facilities. But
as rule, this happens OH very small
farms, and in very remote localities.
AS matter of fact the average house
wife in the country rejoices in being
busy; she is cheerful in industry; and
would perhaps bemoan the lack of it.
1t ism t this which brings on mental
disorders-but rather the isolation of
life as it is lived out on farms far
removed from neigbhors and neigh
borhoods-the appalling loneliness of
it; and the consequent effect of the
unnatural condition upon the mind.
Woman perhaps more than man, de-
Ponds upon human companionship as
one of the reasonable if not one of
the essential incidents of normal ex-
istence, and especially of the normal
temperamental and mental attitude
towards life. 1t may be that we are
somewhat over-bold in asserting this
view, but 1t is predicate upon what
seems an entirely rational conception,
and also upon conclusions that have
been stated by eminent authorities on
mental troubles.
Be it said. however that with the
steady improvement now being wit
messed in rural environment the ele-
ment of isolation is being reduced to
so low minimum as to give promise
OF ultimate elimination. The tele-
phone wires that are to be seen
threading all the lanes and avenues
of country travel the improved high
ways; the rapid development of the
rural mail service, and other induces
of general advance, all combine to
show that the time has about passed
when farm life anywhere means loss
of contact with folks and things that
aid in diverting the mind from the
routine of deadly monotony.

Washington Notes.

Washington. Augugt Ex-Governor
Wilson has quoted he fears of the
business interests that the tariff may
be reduced too suddenly in the event
of Democratic success i'm November.
The enemies of the New Jersey gov
ernor took much pains to spread the
story that the Democrats proposed to
cut and slash the tariff rates right
andleft as soon as they came into
power, and regardless of the fact that
no reasonable Democrat ever said or
did anything to give basis for this
belief. the story has been Industrious
ly circulated.
In the fiscal just closed American
exports amount to more than one bill
lion dollars. Forty-seven per cent of
goods manufactured in this country
last year were exported. These fig
ures show that American manufact-
urers have the ability to meet for
eigners in competition. 1t shows that
American ingenuity and genius can
conquer over the Anticipated methods
still in vogue in many foreign lands.
Moreover, it shows that if Americans
are so abundantly able to meet for
eignera in their own market places.
there is no excuse for the outrageous
tariff that was put up ostensibly to
keep foreign goods out of our ports,
but in reality to give American man
ufacturers an opportunity to gouge
extra profits out of their own country
men.
While there is doubt among Dem
ocrats that the tariff is too high, it is
realized that American business has
become adjusted to the present sched-
ules. and further realized that to
snatch away the high tariff at one
move would simply precipitate a
crash that might not be survived
easily. The tariff board and hundreds
of individual manufacturers have ad-
mitted that the rates are to high.
Customs reports and commercial
statistics have revealed that the tariff
on many articles broght to this coun-
try exceed the entire cost of produc-
ton, and It is plain that such tariff
rates amount to wholly unnecessary
and burdensome taxation.
Governor Wilson recently had a
conference with Congressman Red
field. who has made some of the most
sensible tariff speeches ever made in
Congress. and it was agreed between
them that the proper and safe thing
to do with regard to the tariff is to
cut it down gradually until the pro-
per level is reached. In that way il
will be easy to ascertain just what
effect each successive cut has on price
conditions. Thus by easy stages the
tariff for privte profit can be turned
into tariff tor revenue, and this pro-
cess is sure to result in big reduc-
ton in the cost of living.
Govrnor Wilson is not anxious to
injure any mans business. He will
insist. in the event of his election.
that all business be legitimate, and
that the false foundation be taken
from under the tariff trusts. But he
will make it gradual process, and
one that will not disturb either BUSH
ness or the country general.

CONFIDENT II WAS TRICK.
A prominent Bull Moose leader Of
the convention stated Thursday morn
ing that he was confident that they
were victims of "a trick, and they ad-
mittcd that it was cleverly worked.
Numerous others were of the same
opinion. claiming that Slemp's friends
kept up the impression that he would
not be nominated until the Bull Moos-
ers were all pledged to support the
nominee and then put him through like
n flash. They say that there would
have been no question about the nomi-
nation of DIR. J. NJ. Dougherty had
Slemp's name been kept from the
convention. and they charge that f.
S. Pendleton, Progressive of Scott,
was nominated in an effort to split the
Progressive vote and prevent the
nomination of Dougherty. They claim
that George w. Litz, of Bcuhanan.
was run in in the interest of the
scheme to bring about Slemp's nomi-
nation.
Litz was nominated by a Tazewell
county delegate, but delegate from
Buchanan arose and stated that, while
Litz was native of that county, that
the county did not stand for him. lie
charged that in the county election
last fall Litz voted for only one Re-
publican and he a bolter, and that he
threw his strength to the sorriest sort
of Democratic candidates.
I.itz is superintendent of the opera
tions of the Ritter Lumber Company,
of Columbus, Ohio, and is said to be
worth several hundred thousand dol
lars. Slemp's secretary, A. p. Crock
EFT, of Wise. was strongly in favor of
the nomination of Lite. 1t was urged
that he had the money to make tn e
race and would spend it.
