town during the next two years
will be chosen next Tuesday.
Probably there never was n
time in the history of Big Stone
Gap when it was more impor-
tant To use care and judgment
in the selection of our town
officials. Big Stone Gap has
made greater material progress
during the last few years than
during any like period of its ex-
istence, and We believe il
brondminded, busincsslike POI
Icy ia pursued by our citizens
aud officials during the next
few years, the increase will he
ut greater ratio. We hope
every citizen, aud particularly
every voter, of Big Stone Gap
has the interest of the town
thoroughly ut heart and is ne
much interested in it's welfare
as in his own affairs.
In the election of our muni-
cipal officers, we should forget
political parties and vote for
the men who. in our Judgment
would most acceptably fill the
positions to which they aspire.
We should be broad enough to
decline To vote for our friends
il we believe that other cnndi.
dates would better serve the in.
terests of our community. 1t
takes courage TO vote against
friend, but we are engaged in
building n town for postcrity
and To it we owe more than to
our contemporaries. While il
may be better to elect men OF
mediocre ability than dishonest
ones, in Big Stone Gap we do
not have to dc either. The off
Gers aud directors which n bus :
mess concern selects to manage
it's affairs must not only be
honest and have plenty of com
mon sense but must possess
business ability and have pro-
grcssive ideas. IL is even more
important that we use great
care in the selection OF the men
To whom we are to cntrust the
towns affairs; for, unlike n
business concern, we cannot, il
they do not measure up to our
expectations and desires, dis
pense with their services until
they have served the terms of
years for which they will be
elected. We want our town
officials to be economical but
not penny wise and pound
foolish. We should not elect
men to any Office who while
stopping leak leave open the
bung hole. This is a progress
i've age and we need men who
POSSESS the spirit Of progress
and who will infuse this spirit
into orr municipal affairs,
While every Office to be filled
is important and the utmost
care should be used in selec,ing
men for the various positions,
We can not be too careful in
naming h Town Council,
These gentlemen, W no will b Q
our Board of Directors for q
aouple Of years, will in a very
large measure determine wheih-
er wee are to continue to be a
town OF progress, wherein it ia
a pleasure TO live, or whether
the town will drag along ip-an
easy-going way, accomplishing
little or nothing. These men

This is also true of every

A Farce for 81 Years
T'Opeka's Mayor
Is Emphatic

The following statement is
from Mayor Billiard, of To-
peka, and is testimony which
shows how graft" has grown
and thrived there;
Prohibition has been a
farce for 81 years. The law has
been enforced as we'll as such
laws can be enforced, and es-
pecially so in the last ten
years. Mnay good citizens
have been prosecuted, arrest
ed, fined, put in Jail with real
criminals. They have been de-
graded, their families dis
graced. Many Of them have
left the state in disgust; drunk
enneSs has not been stopped,
has not even decreased. | be-
Iieve that fully 30 per cent of
the men use liquor and evRde
or induce someone 10 violate
the law TO get Il The law is a
farce and disgrace to any civ
ilized community. Nearly all
county attorneys and attorney
generals go out Of office veal
thy from the fees they get
from liquor cases, even in the
regular way, but make much
more by letting off easy those
who have money to put up,
then give them the chance to
violate the law again, and
make them put up again, and
so on"

The case of the state against Willis
Oliver will come up for retrial some
time this afternoon or tomorrow morn

Oliver was tried two weeks ago, but
the jury failed to agree, and tine de-
fendant was held to answer before an
other jury.
Secretary Bynon, of the Salem Com
mercial club, has sent out several
packages of dried loganberries to the
leading dining car services of Oregon,
Washington and California railroads,
with a request attached to use them as
side dishes for the travelling public.
The secretary hopes, in this way, to
draw the attention of the casterners
and westerners, too, for that matter, to
the fact that dried loganberries make
fine eating, and Marion county is
boosting this late product.

What's the Matter
With Kansas?

cerned, Kansas has a little bet
ter record, but is still far from
being number one, ranking
18th in population in aims
houses in 1908, and 18th in
admissions during the year of
1904; while Nebraska for
1908 ranks tenth in population
and third in admissions for
that year. To make it abso-
lutely clear, in 1908 Kansas
had in aImshouses SIS people
for each 100000 Of popula-
tion, and during the year
1904, Kansas admitted to
almshouses 37.4 people for
each Of 100000 population,
while Nebraska only admitted
1868 people for each 100000.
LESS PER CAPITA BANK
ING RESOURCES
In the same article this ex-
preston occurs; "tHer (Kan-
sas) per capita wealth is larg-
er than that of any other
state" The report of the comp
troller Of the currency showing
the banking resources Of each
state per capita for June /,
1907, places Kansas 22d, not
first. Thirty-one states with
greater, and 16 with less per
capita banking resources. In
fact, Kansas has smaller per
capita bnking resources than
any Northern state, except In
diana---the other states having
smaller banking resources
than Kansas are the l3 South
ern states, New Mexico and
Oklahoma. The banking re-
sources Of Kansas are $l26.30
per CAPITA, while Oregon has
SlS6.l1 per capita.
THE DELUSIoN OF A DEV-
OTEE.
The article closes with this
sentence: "There is no doubt
that what has been accom-
plished in Kansas can be du-
plieated in other states, is the
liquor business is treated in the
same way as in that state"
And this Is the way the liquor
business is treated in Kansas

N an article published in

News of October 1s,
headed kansas and the
Drought" and signed by Mrs.
r, Paul, there occurs this par
agraph, taken from the state
ment Issued by the governor
OF that state, regarding the
shortage of water last sum
mer (water, by the way, is the
only liquid which Kansas does
not have in ample abundance)
"She can better afford this or
any brand Of calamity, for her
people are constantly paying
out huge sums for the care
and keep Of criminals, paupers,
insane and feeble minded"
A FANATICISM AND FAB
RICATlON.
This statement conveys the
impression that prohibition
has been such a success there,
that they have fewer crimin-
ais, pauperS, insane and feeble
minded in proportion to popu-
lation, than any state in the
Union. If the governor Of
Kansas was not a fanatical
prohibitionist, he would have
better sense than TO make
statement Of this character.
The last government statistics
on crime available, are for
commitments to prison for
term sentence during 1904.
These are divided into three
classes; Grimes against pub
lie policy" "crimes against
property" and "crimes against
the person"
KANSAS RANK IN CRIMES
COMMITTED.
Kansas should rank beat in
all Of these, but, as a matter
Of fNct---in crime against pub
lie policy, she is oath, that is
23 states are better and "a
worse. In crimes against
property, she is doth, that is
80 are better, and only eight
worse. In crimes against the
person, Kansas is 3sth, that
10, 81 better, and only IL
worse. During 1904, Kansas
committed to prison 1889 peo-
pie for each 100000 OF popu-
lation, while Oregon only COM
mitted IT'S people for each
100000.
For the same year, in ad.
missions to hospitals for the
insane, Kansas ranks 2Sth, In
other words ~ states had less
insanity in proportion TO pop
ulation than Kansas did, and
only 20 had more.

A World OF Ghosts.

- VOFfd VI 1fOekSs
A deathly stiffness had all at once
fallen like q blanket, blotting out Nc
Carthy's violent speech The rafting
typewriter In the next room was
abruptly stilled. The roar of the city
died as living creature Is cut by the
sword-all at once, without the transit
tionary running down of most silences.
Absolute dense stiffness, like that OF q

the customary city noises. In his as

noiselessly, as would the inkstand In

To have ones world thus suddenly
stricken dumb, to be transported oral
ly from the roar OF a city to the peace
Of a woodlsnd or q becalmed sea Is
certainly astonishing enough.
But this silence was particularly ter
rtsying to both Mccarthy and Jack
Warford. though neither would have
been able to analyze the reason for its
weirdness. For silence is I'm reality a
composite of many lesser noises. In a
woodland almost inaudible insects
hum, breezes blow, leaves and grasses
rustic; at sea the tiny waves lap the
sides and equally tiny breaths of air
stir the cordage; within the confines
of the human shell the mere physical
acts Of breathing, swallowing, wink

circulation of the blood the beating
Of the heart, produce each its sound.
Even a man totally deaf feels the
subtle influence of these latter phys

sound, perceptible alike to those who
can hear and those who can not, are
the vibrations that accompany every
activity of nature as the manifesto
