CUT 1T OUT

1t is to he hoped that all such men
as General Sickles will go away back
and butt their brains out. The "bloody
shirt has become forgotten ex-
preston to the old, and the young
men have never heard it used, and do
not know its meaning. For years the
negro question il politics has been
abating. Both parties have practically
eliminated the colored man, the col
ored man himself has become satisfied
with and glad of the elimination. To
drag in the race question is to strike
a blow at the negro-a smashing
blow, right in the face. The Republi-
can party has done it's level best to
corrupt and enslave the negroes by
making political tools and fools of
them, and for the sake of race now
on the upgrade it is to bs hoped that
the cry of "nigger, may never be
heard again in a political campaign.
Sickles lea is Anticipated and not
needed, like the instrument his name
recalls. He should cut it out.

THE HUNTER HUNTED

And the mighty hunter, William j.
Bryan, is to be put on the trail of the
Bull Moose. Good Teddy, the mighty
hunter of big game, is to himself be
hunted down by one who knows the
woods. No timber so tall, no Jungle
so thick, no forest swamp so dense
but that he, the skillful and fearless
Nebraskan, knows it, inch by inch.
Every watering pool, every by-path is
thoroughly and clearly mapped. No
guides are needed. The track and
tramp of the Bull Moose for the past
dozen years have blazed the paths,
and his haunts are we'll known to the
mighty hunter from Nebraska. He
will return to camp in November,
bearing the scalp and mighty antlers
of the Mighty Moose of the Adiron-
dacks, to decorate the walls ot the
lodge at Democratic Headquarters.
Mr.. Roosevelt has kept many man
busy dtdging in and out of the bush
es. He himself must do the do1ging
stunt, for always, day and night, he
will be hunted animal. The man on
his trail has steady nerve, uses
heavy arms, and when he pulls the
trigger the game drops every time.
1t can be imagined that Mr.. Bryan
Will take special delight in bringing
to bay and bringing down, this bel
lowing Bull. The Moose has been in
vading Mr.. Bryan's vegetable garden
and his alfalfa fields, and grown
sleek and fat on stolen food, and not
labor of love and patriotism only,
but to get even--unstrip and expose
this defiant robber and buffer, will
be no small incentive to the big hunt
er of the Bull Moose.

CLAUDE ALLEN

Claude Allen. son of Floyd Allen,
has been sentenced to die in the cleo
trio chair, by a jury of Washington
county citizens. lis father, Floyd
Allen, is under similar sentence, and
there is little hope that either of them
will escape the penalty imposed by
the laws of this state. Was there
ever more pathetic situation or
condition.? The Roanoke Times states
that Claude Allen "is as handsome
and manly boy as ever grew in the
mountains of Virginia; - like his
brothers, was on the upward grade. -
He had been to college, had prepared
himself for life of usefulness, and
might have been an honor to his COM
munity and the state. These bright
prospects and reasonable hopes are
blighted. In moment of passion
an evil moment, or perhaps, after de-
liberation, il matters not-he COM
mitted deed, the penalty of which,
according to the law of this Il tie, is
death. And, so, this young man must
die. The Roanoke Times says: cit is
necessary. 1t is right that the Com
monwealth of Virginia pursue them
relentlessly, and force them to the
electric chair and PRISON and ruin. >"

LESE MAJESTE

at is questionable whether in the
political history of our republic car
be cited any single triumph as sur.
prising, signal and sweeping as Bryan s
victory in the Baltimore convention.
The moral and physical audacity of
the interchangeable dramatic and
thrilling climaxes of eloquence and
strategy, and the indisputable com
pleteness of the achievement-are
simply astounding. 1t was St. George
against the Dragon. Sampson agains,
the Phlistines. On one side divine
ly gifted man. an abstract idealist, a
magnetic and splendid personality, an
orator as great is any since Demos
themes, and impassioned and Gauntless
incarnation of Democracy. On the
other side an octopus with tentacles
of gold, an organization lorg in the
making and flawless in mechanism, n
money -5loated, power-g loated retnue
of vice-entailed corruption, a perfect
and powerful machine with nation
wide ramifications rooted in billions
of wealth. -
The above is "a full grown sample
of the new literary output which the
Roanoke Times calls EDITORIALS, and
we think enormously credits to the
Clinch Valley News. Isn't it i'm
mense !-Cumberland Progressive.
Not "erroneously, Governor.
However singing the shaft of sar-
casm sped by the Smithsonian sheet,
miscalled the Progressive, it must
be confessed that the "idiotorial''
paragraph ascribed to the News by
the Roankoe Times originally appear
ed in one of its recent screeds com
plimentary of MIR. Bryan's course in
the Baltimore convention. 1t is q
matter for surprise, however, that
one who has observed with SO much
fidelity the ethics of his profession
should cast aspersion on neighbor' Is
editorial integrity; and it is shocking
in the extreme that one who has SO
long strutted in a peacock alley OF
literary assumption should stoop to
indulge in the ungenerous pastime of
ridiculing the output of less prac-
ticed and less fortunate pen.
1t must be remembered that this
"ancient Mariner" OF the craft was
moulding cannon-ball paragraphs for
the old Clinch Valley News half
century ago-long before this scribe
had appeared to puke and gurgle at
his mothers knee. He was Clipping
red rose leaves in the white wine, &"
and rolling out classic rhymes about
Spottswood's knights and the crino-
lined maidens of the Massanutton
Valley, away back in the sos. And
since that time he has piloted various
and variagated country newspapers to
the shades of the valhalla towards
which the Progressive" appears to
be rapidly progressing.
1t is indeed pity that such up
starts as Bryan should come along and
destroy the idols and disturb the
dreams of our venerable friend. He
and Cousin Jud and the whole ca
poodle of old fellows who sit by the
rivers and weep while their harps
angle forth funeral dirges from the
wind-tossed willows, compel passing
tear as they thus foregather, bent and
spent like mourners at the bier of
hope. They should be left in peace to
linger at the shrines of the good old
times when Cleveland's cabinet sat AT
the banquet board and Hamnian So
ciety held high carnival on the boule-
wards of the Haitian capitol.

I Democratic. It is the fountain source
Of rotten government and graft. 1t has
not been tolerated in this convention; il
| ought not to be longer tolerated in E
PasO. The delegates assembled here, and
! the people all over the United States
condemn Tammany because it is an in
stltuuOn IN the control Of one man.
That man not only selects the men to
hold offices, but owns and bosses them
after they are elected.
Advises El Pasoans.
We must not permit a Tammany OF
ganiZatiOn to exist in Ell Paso. We con-
denim the rotten condition in New York,
and at the same time sit by and let a
similar system grow in FL Paso.
All that is necessary to free FL Paso
from the ring" is to let FL Paso breathe
in the spirit Of the times. If the ring
wins this year, it means that FL Paso
IS behind in the great procession Of pro
greSs. 1t would mean that our people
are not imbued with the moral wave that
IS sweeping the country. 1t would mean
that our city is not ready for the won
derful growth and prosperity that IS
ahead of US.
Advice to EI Paso.
To re-elect '4the ring" would be to re-
tard the rightful progress of the magni-
flcent city we love so well. I hope our
people will catch the spirit Of this con-
vention. The rotten combination that
elected Parker. apparently had complete
control on the first day, but the men
who were here to fight for right were
determined and by the power of being
right we have gained control and viii
win all along the line.
The people of Ell Paso are as moral
and are as clean as any people. They
are as courageous; if they will catch the
spirit of this convention we Will be freed
from the disgrace Of Boss Rule.
