Dun's trade report for the rast
week gives encouragement FER al
lines of business, crops ard malufnc-
turing enterprises. In part the re-
port says:
Continuous advance in trade ectlv-
itics is the tenor of the reports from
the principal manufactu-iEg and dis
tributing centers last week. The ad-
vance is both in actual volume C
transactions and in that confidence
which is the basis CT healthy business.
The big August bank learin2s are

buoyancy Clearlngs In August gain
ed 4.6 per cent over last YER, vhile
during this week they Increased lO5
per cent over 1911 and 17.6 Per oeLt
over 1910. The evidence CT these
clearings is confirmed by the current
railroad gcoss earnings, which SHOW
a gain CT 6.8 per cent over 1911.
Rates Of money are hardening in al
parts Cf the world, a plain response
to the greater movements OF t-lda
and commerce and the bigger de-
mands of new enterprises. The in
creased confidence in the financial
markets is illustrated by the fact
that the August output Of now se-

FRIGHTENING WEEKS.
From the New York Commercial, Sep

From the New York Commercial, Sept.
II, 1912:
Each week Is more auspic1ous than
Its predecessor in the auspicious prom
ise of great business year This
implies according to the laws of trade
chances several to succeed it. with
immense uniform crops as a founda-
tlon, ACCOMPANIED by conditions in the
Old World much less favorable. It
gives this country place Of vantage
which 1t has rarely II ever cxperi.
enced, so concurrentlv do the general
facts at home and abroad run in our
favor.
A significant fact is that New York
for the last week has been put to its
trumps to accommodate adequately
the immense tbrongs Of business vis-
itors. No city is better supplied with
such resources Of hospitality, but they
have been strained to the uttermost
since the middle Of August. There is
nothing in the capacity Of our trans
portation lines which does net fully
conioin with the sanguine outlook that
prevades the whole country
While all the activities of trade are
notable now they will be vastly more
so in a few weeks.

Bank deposits are sure indicator

The Supply Of Live Stock is Short,

In an article in the current issue of
Farm and Fireside appears the fol-
lowing
"MOre agitation Of the high price of
meat is rife in cities. Yellow journals,
none too considerable with the truth,
are filling thoir columns with attacks on
everyone connected with the industry
from the farmer to the retail butcher.
In some cities mobs have conducted
window-smashing raids on retail shops
and other rash deeds have been COM
mitted. These efforts, like all mob
violence, cannot haVe the effect desired.
The prices are the result of the relation
between supply and demand and cannot
be changed until these change. The
supply of live stock is short. The
receipts at the markets prove it. The
price of grain has been high and rough
age not obtsinRble. These, coupled with
parched pastures last summer and a
very severe winter, have not been pro-
ductive of large supply of live stock
in aggregate. At the same time that
the supply decreased, the demand as the
population increased, became greater.
Time is the only cure Of the evil"

6IYIN6 THE NEWS.
Where will il end?

There are people who suggest that the
readir of newspaper Is & waste of
time and that more solid information
may be obtained by confiu nj, & one S read
ing to books of value.
1t all depends upon the character OF
the papers read. There is no DENYING
the fact that the large city papers do
not as a rule give the news. They give
one section Of it and that not always the
best. That which is sensational, lurid in
character is served up with painful re-
gularity, but news which edifies is given
in scanty form. So, too, the political
and other views of the paper often pre-
vent it from giving accurate news of
what transpires in the world. The news
is colored by its opinions and wishes of
the paper. What the public wants is
news that it can rely upon, not the dis
torted ideas of trust controlled editors
or of newspaper owners whose only aim
is to make money
Very fortunately the country press is,
in the main, singularly free from sensa-
tionalism on the one side and dullness on
the other. 1t is also more independent
and therefore enjoys freedo not Of
ten found in the offices of the city press.
There are two main advantages in all
this. One is that if the range of news
is not so great the news that is given is
more likely to be accurate and palatable.
And the other advantage is that the opin
ions expressed upon any given subject
are usually the honest conviction of the
editor. For that reason the country press
is far more influential than the CITY
press in moulding public opinion. The
proof of this is constantly being seen
and it is admitted by most people who
give any attention to public affairs and
the trend of public though

DEMOCRATIC lNCOMPETENCY

William Randolph Hearst, owner of g
striI G of democratic newspapers reach.
ing from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
who is now in Paris, on Friday gave
out the following signed statement to 8
correspondent of the New York Sun on
American politics. He said:
''rhe failure of democrats in con-
gress. in defiance of their party
platform, to provide a navy ade-
quate to the nations needs, utterly
discredits democratic promises and
democratic patriotism. No reliance
can henceforth be placed upon a
party which has no regard either for
sts own honor or the nations dig
nifty and safety. Patriotic citizens
cannot be expected TO vote for Dem
ocratic candidates who repudiate
their solemn pledges and default in
personal and patriotic obligations.
at Is not wise to entrust powers
of government to party of narrow
sectionalism and small American
ism, which has no conception as to
the nations dangers or nations
duty, or of the nations destiny.
ut is actually not safe to FepOse
the fate of the greatest nation in
the world to the care of a party
which proposes to contract our ma
tionai possessions and which refuses
either to protect our interests abroad
or safeguard our citizens at home.
"The democracy's reputation of
its platform is merely squalid dis
honesty, but its default in its patri-
otto duty to the nation is nothing
less than treason"

THURSDAY. AUGUST l, 1912
WHAT GRIEVANCE HAS VIRGINIA?

During the past week meetings were
held at a few points and on Tuesday a
state gathering 10 Roanoke to select
delegates to the so-called Bull Moose"
convention in Chicago.
Why?
Can any honest and Intelligent man
claim that the delegates in the republi-
can convention in Chicago did not hon.
estly represent the wishes of the ma
jority of the republicans of the state?
Take the local mass meeting here.
Was there any sitting of the express
sion of the wishes of those in attend
ance? The meeting was open to every
republican voter, and full opportunity
given for the expression of the prefer
ence of each and every one, and the
same thing is true of the state conven-
tion in Roanoke, where the chairman
absolutely refused to limit the time of
the speakers fsvoring Colonel Roose-
welt, although on most other matters
there was a time limit.
The work of the district and state
conventions was open and above board,
and honestly represented the wishes of
the majority of the republican voters to
instruct for Taft; and as the rule of the
majority is the genesis of American
government, where has Virginia q
grievance?
True, there was a contesting delega-
tion sent to Chicago, but every one
knows, and it is practically admitted by
the delegation itself, that it had nc
standing and was only organized to ere
ate sympathy for Colonel Roosevelt and
cloud the main issue.
The question then naturally arises:
Was there any more reason or right in
the contests from the other states at
the Chicago convention?

One Newspaper Position

The Call has no animus against Mr..
Roosevelt L. will not call him liar or
thief, for he is neither. Nor, by the
same token, are the men and newspapers
whom he so desizuates. either liars OF
thieves The former president is natur-
ally choieric and impatient Of opposition.
and his intempersncc of speech is bad
fault. The Call does not care toi,nitste
that intemperance.
Just the same this newspaper is a
republican newspaper. 1t believe that
there Is no need of third party. and it
regrets to see Mr.. Roosevelt organizing
one. 1t will argue that question without
abusive language and end equally with
out fear. DOub' less some of its suhscrib-
ers will stop reading the paper. 1t will
he sorry 20 lose them. But it would
rather lose all its subscribers than lose
ITS own self-respect or surrender its
rights to have and maintain its own
cons cientious opinion.
That Is the round the Call takes.
There it s'ands. There it will fight
airly, but with all its might And what
else would sou have a newspaper do,

face its problems with a manly indepen-

STUNG.

In a recent editorial effusion, attack
ing practically the entire press of south
west Virginia, the Roanoke Times says:
go For several weeks we
have owed the Tazewell Republican
some attention. postponed because
of engrossment with other and more
important insects, such as flies and
the Princeton, w. Va, republican
publications. -
The memory of the Times is at fault.
1t should have said several months, for
it was in April that the Times asserted
there had been no election frauds per-
petrated by the democrats since the
adoption of the new constitution; and
beginning April 25th and ending May
23rd, we published q series of articles
% election frauds in the Ninth Virginia
district that completely silenced the
Times
Admitting then, that for once the
Times might be right-that the Repub-
lican is an insect. If SO, it must be a
tarantula, for the Times seems to be
suffering with tarantism, which is thus
defined: "a nervous affection produc-
ing melancholy, stupor and an uncon-
trollable d, sire to dance. due to the bite
of tarantula and cured only by pro-
tracted dancing to appropriate music.
The Times, since our series of articles
in April and May, has exhibited all the
symptoms-me melancholy and stupid it
certainly has been-and since the orgy
st Baltimore has shown the "uncon- !
trollable desire to dance" Then let it. |

Now, after few days of pro-
