pnACE FOR RoLhER SKATING.

PLACE FOR ROLLER SKATING.
T. 1t is evident that the playground
commission is fully ware of the
needs of the city in regard to recre-
alton when it takes up the desirable
ity of having a place for rollerqskat-
ing in connection with ~the~play~
ground. If one end of the lot,
which 1t is proposed to use as q
playground, could be cemented over
for use of roller skating it would be
a great attraction.
At the present time the streets
are crowded with children rushing
along at various speeds IN skates,
many Of them being a real menace
to pedestrians. who do not know
what minute they are to be knocked
down by some OF the careless onea.
On the paved streets there is@ dan
ger of the youngsters being run over
by automobiles or horses.
We believe the playground com
mission a fully solve this prob
lem as soon as 1t gets to work, which
we hope will be within a very short
time. The playground Is bound to
be one of the most attractive and
valuable additions that the city has
had In soms time.

Waller GRAHAM. CANDIDATE

The other of the leaders of the bul
moose movement in Virginia held
meeting in Pulaski on the night of tn
Iztn and presented to the voters of tina
place their q. L. Einstein's and Thoma
Lee Moore's) candidate for Congress il
the Ninth. From the Southwest Time
published in Pulaski we take the follow
ing account of the meeting:
That the bull moose candidate
for Congress from the Ninth is no
stump speaker goes without saying.
He failed to catch the attention of
his audience, much less hold it. He
spoke for about 40 minutes, but
he lacked campaign fire to get his
auditors interested in what he had
to say. A good many left the court
house and the moving epidemic be-
came so catching that it looked IS
though Col. Bryant would not have
corporaPs guard. Mr.. Einstein
finally arose and asked the audience
to wait to hear the distinguished
visitor from New Orleans" Mr..
Graham took the cue and closed
after telling the voters he had many
more salient points upon which he
would like to speak in connection
with the campaign. Whatever
might be the Congressional timber
in the candidate of the progressives
in the Ninth his campaign would be
the better made off the stump.
at was up to Mr.. Bryant to gath
er up the interest of the awaiting
audience and he opened with story
after tracing his ancestry back to
Virginia. His speech was inter-
spersed with number of amusing
Incidents and little campaign dope
mixed in to especially further the
cause of Mr.. Roosevelt. He appar-
emily forgot the fight in the Ninth,
30 far as the candidate, who sat
just behind him, was concerned, for
If ears did not deceive The Times,
Mr.. Graham's name was not pro-
nounced and others have been heard
to express surprise for the same
non-expression."
This, then, is the gentleman from
whom the two disap-
pointed office seekers with "headquar-
lers in Radford" have, failing to Sc
:ure a citizen of the district for sacri-
ice, placed before the people of the
.rand old Ninth as candidate to rep
esent them in the Congress of the
United States.

MEADACITY AND HYPOCRISY.

Because the Ninth congressional dis

fused IL bend it's neck and receive the
yoke which the Virginia democracy
would place upon it, a malicious and
vlndlctive attempt is now in progress to
advertise it to the world as hotbed of
every known political vice. The most
wicked feature of the endeavor is the
mendasious disposition of the democrat
ic press and leadership to fasten upo.

sponsibility for the disgraceful condi-
tons they now declare dominate the
politics of the Ninth.
These papers and leaders know full
we'll that if political conditions are bad.
if the electorate in large measure has
become venal, if dishonesty has en-
croached upon morality in the conduct
OF elections, that these things are due
to dishonest election laws and dishonest
methods in the conduct of elections
There has not been an honest election
law in Virginia for the pa3t twenty-five
years; and all these laws have been
made by democratic legislatures and a
democratic constitutional convention.
Shielded and guided by these dishonest
election laws, written by the democrats
in our constitution and in the statute
books, the democratic training school
for fraud, with headquarters at Rich
mond, has been diligently plying its
work since the year 1885.

respecting voters, who are vastly in the
majority, warranted in believing that
the prosecution Of the poor voters who
had been trained by the democrats for
yesrs to sell their votes. is inspired mora
by Resentment, or done for political ef
feet, than by an earnest desire to purify
the electorate? The effort of the Roanoke
Times to make its readers believe that
MIR. Slemp and his political friends wish
to continue and extend the system of
bribery the democrats introduced thirty
years sgo-and which they prscticed
so boldly and extensively at the last
Congressional election-is unwarrsnted
and indefensible.
The Times charges that Mr.. Slemp
does not want fair elections. 1t tries to
uphold its unfair and untruthful accuse
ton by reason of the fact that Mr..
Slemp was not willing to enter into an
agreement that was not mutual-.hat is
ne demanded that the agreement should
be mads to get rid of vote stealing as well
as vote buying. Thet the democrats in
recent past years have committed both
these crimes in the Ninth is undsniable.
The present election laws can he so ad
ministered as to conceal all manner of
fraud. This is what Mr.. Slemp wants
to get rid OF. at least to ameliorate. He
wants to have laws that are essentially
unfair administered as fairly as posi-
Bile. He asks that the republicans shall
select their own judges of election and
have one clerk at each of the precincts.
What honest man, what honest news
paper willssy that this is unreasonable?
MIR. Slemp made his counter PROPOSE
ton six months ago and he never heard
from General Ayers until few days
ago. II Mr.. Slsmp's demands were Of
no value, were not essential, why has
the Times and all the democratic news
papers failed to urge General Ayers
during the past five months to accept
Mr.. Slemp's proposition?
We can have no absolutely fair cleo
tons in Virginia under dishonest cleo
ton laws; and we have not had an alb
solutely honest election law in Virginia
for more than twenty-five years.
That abundant vote stealing can be
accomplished under existing laws has
been admitted by the Lynchburg News.
That paper has been aligned with the
Roanoke Times in misrepresenting Mr..
Slemp. Recently it gave him an ill-tem-
pered warning by telling him, that his
demands were reflection upon the in
tsgrity of the election officers of the
Ninth district, and that if he did not
look out he would provoke "a dose of
vote stealing that is vote stealing-a
sort that would mean something's sort
that would retire Mr.. Slemp to private
life and keep him there
Is 1t any wonder that Mr.. Slsmp
should not want to enter into an agree
ment that does not remove, as far as
possible, the opportunity to have done
unto him what the Lynchburg News
has threatened can be done?

school OF fr,1d trained its periurers.
forgers and ballot box thieves, placed
them IN charge of elections, accepted
their dirty work, and thus made every
district snd nearly every county in the
State democratic. In support of this
charge we offer the editor of the Roam.
oke Times as witness.
Virginia became and still remains a
helpless prey TO ruthless band of ''po-
iticsl brigands sometimes called an
otfics-holders trust" In support of
this charge We offer as witness the
Hon. Carter Glass, owner and publisher
of the Lyuehburg News. He i. vas
who, in the year 1900. plead for con-
stitu'ionsl convention and a new CON-
sbtution to rescue the State from the
political brigsnds" or "ofice-holders
trust Last year, when Mr.. Glass and
Mr. Jones were, respectively, opposing
Swanson and Martin for the United
States Senate, they claimed and proved
to the satisfaction Of the Richmond
Times-Dispatch, the Richmond News
Leader, and considerable portion of
the press and electorate, that Virt inia
was still controlled by these political
brlgands. And it is an undisputed fact
that for two decades legislation at our
capitol has been largely directed by
railroad Hobbies and corporation law
yers.
With these known facts staring it in
the face, the Lynchburg News has join
ed with the Roanoke Times in an I'M
holy effort to put the electorate of the
Ninth district TO shame. The vice of
vote buying is paraded before the public
In exaggerated form, but the possibili-
ties for vote stealing under the dishon-
est election laws are waived aside as
trivial matter In its issue Of the 10th
instant the Lynchburg News had for its
leading editorial an exhortation to the
people of this district to redeem it from
the stain of vote buying. The News
says:
More to be desired th.n Slemps
election, than Ayers election. than
Graham's Extraordinarily more
to be desired and striven for and
fought for than these things is the
establishment of an era OF unpur-
chased and unpurchasable elections
in the Ninth district"
This appeal would be more worthy of
consideration, it would have more de-
cided ring of sincerity, if the News had
also cried aloud for an era of unstolen
and unstealable elections in the Ninth.
If the News wishes the people of the
Ninth to accept its offered services q.
mentor, and to believe its professions in
favor of clean politics, let it speak out
boldly for repeal of the dishonest cleo
ton laws which it so recently declared
furnishes facilities for "a dose of vote
stealing that is vote stealing-vote
stealing that would retire Mr.. Slemp to
private life and keep him there"
Do this, Mr.. News, do this Mr.. Glass,
or you will continue to hear the honest
electorate Of the Ninth district cry:
Take thy beak from out my heart,
And take thy hideous form from off
my door,
before you presume to give instructions
as to how pure electorate and honest
elections are to be established within
the borders of the Ninth district
