do not undertake to say. OF course
no Republican will be appointed post
master here, under Mr.. Wilson 8
administration. and therefore, know

no Republican would vote for Re-

did not care whether or not he threw

that the Republicans would have no

All the candidates are good men. All

Is The Republican Party Dead

The veteran editor, Henry Waiter
son believes that the republican party
IS dead. In an editoria. printed in
the, Louisville Courier-J ournal, MIR.
Watterson says: TUESDAY was a
proud day for democracy. Tuesday
was a revolution. Ground swell, ex-
claimed Hop Price on memorable
occasion. 1t was an earthquake.
After the overwhelming triumph of
the democratic ticket, the most de-
cisive feature of this revolution is
the humiliation of the republican
party. Its defeat is even greater than
sustained by the old-line wings in the
presidential election of 1852. when
Scott. the whig nominee. carried but
four states. With it's armour on, in
stinct with life, it's lines of battle,
its flags and trophies yet visible, the
G. o. P. sinks as a great wall OF
stone and iron before tornado into q
heap of shapeless ruins. 1t will never
rise gain.
1.-THE little that is left of it the
bull moose will swallow. even as
know -nothingism swallowed the little
that was left of the wings. The great
ability of Woodrow Wilson is not
denied by his enemies. Behind him
stands the democratic party, revival
lied and regenerated, unterrified and
indebted.
"a vote for Wilson therefore, was
a vote for change both of parties
and policies, for better things, for
hope. Once again and for the third
time in SO years, democracy is in
trusted with the government of the
country. Shall its opportunity be lost
as twice before it was lost by in
sufficient leadership?
1.-THE word along the line is mot
on your life. Let no democrat give
entertainment to such a thought. Let
nothing come between any democrat
and his rejoicing. 1t was truly long.
long lane. But its turning is reached
and democracy marches proudly into
the great broad highway Of radiant
future. Shout. boys, shout Let our
songs be old Times Come Again at
Last. 30

THE ALIENS

Referring to the Communication of
the death sentence of the Aliens to
life imprisonment, which, as we have
repeatedly urged in these columns
should be done, we do not wish to be
misunderstood. We are not in favor
of pardon. The men should be
forced to suffer for the part they
played in the awful tragedy of Hills
vile. We have no criticism for the
courts. Juries of sensible men found
the verdicts after prolonged recitas
of evidence pro and con. The cases
were conducted by able lawyers on
both sides. The men, we take it, had
fair trials. There is only one point
that never has been entrey clear to
US. viz: how Claude Allen, after
being cleared of the charge of con-
spiracy could afterwards be convicted
of deliberate murder. If he did not
conspire, we do not exactly see how
he could have premeditated and pro-
vided for the murder. Still, not be-
ing learned in the law, we may not
be clear on this point, and offer no
criticism. Courts of law and Justice
there must be, and they should be
upheld, else anarchy and worse will
result. Our plea for the lives of
father and son is based entirely upon
Humanitarian grounds. Capital
punishment is wrong per sc. Society
must be protected, but it is not
necessary to snuff out the lives of part
of its members in order to do so.
"Another chance" and another and
another, if necessary. might result
in, at last, the elevation and saliva
tion of one created in Gods image
Count Tolstoi remarked, as he saw a
criminals head roll from the block,
that does him no good.
We repeat, no good is done to a
man by killing him. To confine the
criminal during his life in prison is
to practically and effectually put him
out of the life of society, but not
beyond the reach of hope and re-
formation. A lawyer remarked in our
presence recently, that in his opinion
no living man could say with GER
tainty who killed Judge Massie. Is
there not shadow of doubt of which
the men should have the benefit?
Should not the plea of mercy have
some weight? ''The essential quality
of mercy should not be strained. 1t
blesseth him who gives and him that
doth receive.''
Since the above was put in tive
the Supreme Court has decided unani-
mously not TO grant writ of error
in the case of the Aliens, and con-
firms the lower court. The only hope
of the Aliens is that Judge Mann
will commute the sentences to life
imprisonment which is not regarded
as at all probable. Unless the Cover
nor interferes before this paper
reaches its readers Floyd and Claude
Allen will have been electrocuted.
There time is up today.

j. NJ. NEWTON.
Pocahontas. Vn., Nov. Is, 1912.
The above, written on postal
card, speaks for itself We would be
sorry to lose Mr.. Newton. He has
been subscriber to this paper for
more than ten years. paying his one
dollar a year, in all about $12, dur
ing twelve years to the support of
the Clinch Valley News. This amount
of stock" in the paper, deducting
cost of printing and mailing his paper
to him for twelve years may entitle
him to voice in its management,
but hardly entities him to dictate its
policy. This paper is moving along in
the neighborhood of two thousand
subscribers-nearly 10000 readers,
perhaps. and we would have a stren-
uous time of it if we undertook to
put in or keep out OF its columns only
those things which please or displease
its readers.
While we have no contract with
pastor Russell to publish his sermons
or addresses, and no plans, arrange
ments or expectations of doing so in
the future, it is barely possible that
we may do so, and we see no way of
retaining the good will of our friend,
or his name on our list. In this good
day or literary and religious freedom
and painstaking investigation the
man or paper that looks only through
smoky and sectarian glasses, politi-
cally or religiously had as well retire
at once from the field.
To please readers represented by
the class in which Mr.. Newton seems
to belong, we would never dare to
publish sermon. address, religious
or political, without first submitting
it to their censorship. and would be
forced to disband our force. We dc
not see our way clear to do this al
this time. We rather prefer to lose n
few good men from our list, if il
cannot be avoided, and continue tc

FEED HORSES CLEAN HAY.
Kansas Experiment station Tries New
Plan on MaIady.

University of Kansas, Sept. 25.-To
demonstrate conclusively that the
present epidemic among Kansas horses
is the result of poisonous fungi on
forage. one car of prairie hay was
shipped to the state university expert
mental laboratory at Ness City by
Charles E. Putnam of Richmond, Kan.
This hay which comes from an I'M
mune district will be fed to the in
fected animals in an effort to cure
them
N p Sherwood, bacteriologist at
Ness City, is besieged daily by anxious
farmers with the question, How can
fungi kill horses 2" IN answer to this
query, Mr. Sherwood cites the expert
ment where rabbit was killed in less
than five minutes by administering but
one five hundredth CT an ounce of the
product of a poisonous grass fungus
Results of Investigations at Ness
City announced today show that no
drugs whatever have been of any avail
in treating the horse disease On the
contrary several of the autopSleS have
shown that the medicine given was
directly injurious and had in some
cases actually blistered the lining of
the wall of the stomach Responsible
drug firms have hesitated to recon-
mend any specific and firms recon-
mending a given medicine have al
ready begun to feel the reaction.
Farmers and ranchmen had oeen
advised to take their horses off pas
ture To some of them, however, it
did not occur that conditions would
not be changed if they took them off
pasture and continued to haul the
pasture to them that when musty
or half cured alfalfa and half cured
cane were fed the disease continued.
Oats, clean wheat or barley straw with
brar in limited quantities gave more
favorable results. All horses, accord
ing to the experts, should be placed on
the smallest ration possible for it
seems evident that every horse has
mora or less of this poison in his sys-
teri now

(From The Family Physician.)

Everyone has al beautiful skin under
meath the one exposed to view. Bear
that in mind and it will be easier to
understand the correct principle in ac-
quiring lovely complexion Nature is
constantly shedding the top skin in
flaky particles like dandruff. only much
smaller in size. In abnormal conditions,
or in advancing age, these particles arc
not shed as rapidly is in robust youth.
The longer they remain the more soiled
or faded they become-that's the i'm

1t has been discovered that ordinary
nlercolized wax, to be had a any drug
store will absorb these WORKOUT par
ticles The absorption, while Fastening
Natures work, goes on gradually
enough to cause no inconvenience. In
a week or two the transformation IS
complete. The fresh, healthy-hued,
youthful underskin is then wholly in
evidence. You who are not satisfied
with your complexion should get an
ounce of mercolized wax and try this
treatment. Use the wax nightly, like
cold cream, washing it off mornings.
