For President

While the entire country is spec
ulating as to who will head the
Republican and Democratic tick
cts this fall, the fact remains clear
to the people of the west that we
need progressive and aggressive
resident. With a great number
a other western men, the editor
Of this paper believes that the next
president should be a western man,
with western ideas, and capable
of understanding the needs of the
people who are developing the
great western half of the United
States.
We have had enough of the
eastern men whose interest in af-
fairs was confined to that portion
of the country which lies east of
the Mississippi river The trusts
have been protected long enough.
What we need now is a man who
will extend federal aid to the men
who have pioneered the western
territoTv. and pitted their strength
and money against the elements,
in making it possible for the great
western march of civilization and
population. We need less pro-
lection for the manufacturers of
the east and more reasonable prices
for the goods consumed by the
people of the west. The greater
part of the lumber, machinery and
clothing used in the United States
is bought and not produced by
the people who live west of the
center of population in this cOun-
try. We need lower prices for
these commodities and some money
from the government for deter
mining the possibilities of irriga-
ton in this state.
To accomplish these things it
will be necessary to have at the
head of the government a man
who is capable of understanding
just what the west needs, and who
has enough ability to secure it for
the west. To this end, we believe
that Champ Clark should
be the d ocratic nominee
for president. He is a Missouri
man. From a state famed for its
agriculture and stock raising. The

Is this an echo from HilIsville? If so

RiCheSOn's Mother

The body of Clarence V. Il. Richie
son, executed in the prison in Char
lesion Tuesday morning, will be
taken to Amherst and buried beside
his mother. This is done in response
to Richeson's request. When we first
read that the murderer of Avis Lin

that of the woman who gave him
birth. the arrangement seemed al
together inappropriate. On second

it. and after while we reached a
conclusion. that of all the places in
the world none was more suitable
for Richeson's burial ground than
that which he had chosen. Condemn

Death of Mrs. Frank Wall

The remains of Mrs. Frank Wall,
and her baby, born prematurely, was
buried in Maple Shade Cemetry, last
Sunday afternoon. She died on Satur-
day about 3 o'clock. She was the
daughter of the late Oscar and Mrs.
Vicie Clayton, of Thompson Valley.
Her husband, brother and sister
and mother survive. She was married
to Mr.. Frank Wall, son of James
Wall, of this town, in August, 1911,
and had the promise of long life of
happiness.
The funeral services were conduct
ed by Rev. w. w. Carson. He read
extracts from the Scripture, offered
fervent prayer, and spoke feelingly
words of comfort and instruction. The
choir sang softly and sweetly,
"Death is only Dream" and the
young mother, with her baby in hel
arms, was borne to the grave, follow
ed by large concourse of sorrowinl

Saved Money

The last Legislature repealed the
law making it compulsory on the
Board of Supervisors to offer pre-
miums OF scalps and left il optional
with them. Just why our law makers
would not go further and repeal en-
tirely this antiquated law, we arc
unable to understand; but, however,
this gives the opportunity to the
progressive and wide awake boards
of Supervisors of the various coun-
ties of the State to stop ut once this
leak in their treasures. The Board
of Supervisors of Craig county. we
doubt not, will welcome this change
to make n saving of something like
three hundred dollars. as the sta,e-
ment for the last six months shows,
and divert tho lazness breeding fund
to something more substantial.

Waiting

Some one asked us the other day
where our neighbor, The Tazewell
Republican, stands as to Presidential
candidates-Roosevelt or Taft?
Search us. At one time it seems to
be for Taft, and then, when the tide
begins to come in the other way it is
for Roosevelt. Our contemporary
seems to be the friend of both, not
knowing into whose hands it may
fall. If our enquirer will wait until
after the Chicago Convention his
question will be answered. In the
meantime our neighbor can enlighten
the public on this question if he sees
fit to do so. Perhaps, like The Clinch

bated hotly for two hours, when a

taken to avoid it. The sanitary condi-

be better. The ditch or gutter (if it

Roosevelt is credited with 356. OF
delegates elected so far 208 are un-

yet to be chosen. There will be 1 1,O78
delegates in Republican convention
in Chicago; necessary to choice
$40.
President Taft was defeated in his

mary Tuesday by %. 900 votes. The
Democratic candidates stand: Wilson.

uninstructed. About 300 Democratic
nclcgates are yet to be chosen. There
will be in the Baltimore convention

Should Roosevelt be nominated he
will almost certainly get the support

Should Mr.. Taft get the nomination
