BRYAN AND BOOZE"
(Communicated)

The brilliant editor of The
Roanoke Times, who, when his
a filatus has been properly oiled
and cranked and set in high
gear, has De Quincy skinned
and sailed down in his facility
in making a wrecked Paradise
of the English language, fires a
Sunday morning broadside at
the past and present policies of
the News with, reference to
Bryan, booze, Imperialism, ETC.,
etc.
Bryan and booze! Change ends
thou perpendicular dust of Ben
Jonson and cease your ALTER
alive antithesls, oh, you Orange
Observer!
Casting about for the cause of
our neighbours quipping humor,
we have concluded that, having
been fenced out Of a promising
new pasture where the picking
looked good, he is retaliating
indiscriminately on the News
and his audience of sixty thou
sand readers. Not long since a
boquet, odorous with the essence
of musk roses and Mary-buds,
drew the attention of the angels
to the editor of The Times. 1t
was a personal tribute from the
miraculous pen that lust now is
engaged in the delicate task of
plotting the Marion American
through the combers and under
lows of the troubled waters in
which centrifugal hiatus is
trying to swallow a centripetal
w hirlpool.
This would be a dull world if
everybody agreed; opposing
opinions are necessary to the
gayety of communities. But
surely the News is not "pre-
mature in its endorsement of
Bryan" We have had him "un-
der observance" some twenty
years-four years longer than
The Times has had him under
fire. Now that The Times, too,
has him under observance" we
have hopes of startling results.
Co lionel Hemphill, the Baltimore
Sun and the Pulitzer heirs were
betrayed into incipient flirtations
and see what happened! That
Sunday morning sermonizing
habit is another hopeful sign.
Those sermonettes have been
doing good. On a recent Sunday
morning a TaZewell man raised
his wet eyes from the editorial
page of The Times and remark
ed, Il believe that fellow Will
liams has got religion. IT.

ST. CLAIR FOR COLLECTOR

AS to the endorsement of Mr..
Peyton ST. Clair by the Ninth
District Committee, we have
only this to say, not being freely
informed, viz: The committee
had the right to do 80, of course.
Whether he is the right man,
deserving the place of collector,
is another question. 1t is
charged that under Mr.. st.
Clair's management Giles county
has been almost lost to the
Democratic party, and that a
few years ago he was miXed-up
in some sort of a deal by which
a Republican was elected to the
Senate from his district without
opposition from Mr.. st. Clair or
the party under his manage
ment. He was severely criticised
at the time, and an explanation
sought from him, but which was
never forthcoming so far as we
recall. SO far as we know Mr..
st. Clair may be the very man
for the place, and the committee
may have done just the right
thing, but with the dim lights
before us we doubt it.

THE FARMER AND WOOL

Many of the farmers of
Tazewell county, who, last
November in their anxiety to
see another Democratic pres
ident, voted for Wilson, are now
spending a goodJy portion of
their time in their wooG-shcds,
where they have secretly estab-
lished kicking machines. Last
year most of them sold their
wool for so cents per pound
this year they have been offered
l6 cents per pound-and thereby
hangs tale. Many of them re-
fuse to sell at 16 cents, and are
preparing to store their wool,
probably until after March 4,
1916. "-TaZewell Correspondent
Lynchburg News.
The above statement, as will
readily appear to all intelligent
people is clearly the emanation
of prejudice or ignorance or
both, as these lovely CD accom-
plishments are usually found in
the same company. furthermore,
the author is evidently a Repub-
lican weakly endeavoring to
manufacture sentiment unfavor-
able to the Democrats. There
fore, the statement is scarcely
worthy of notice except to hold
it up momentarily as an example
of wonderful yet futile effort to
be funny or appear smart,
and instead, appears ridiculuos.
If there is a Democrat in Taze-
well who is dissatisfied with Mr..
Wilson'S administration, or who
believes that tariff talk has had
anything to do with the present
low price of wool, when no law
on the subject has as yet been
enacted, we haven't heard of
him, and if he is here it is clear
that he is not informed and has
been fooled" by Republican
misrepresentation.
If wool should remain at Is
cents a pound the masses of the
people may be able to eventually
get wool clothing, blankets, etc,
which they have not been able
to obtain under a Republican
administration. The few wool
growers and manufacturers have
had it their own way for long
time, and the masses should
now have and will have, some
consideration.
The above erroneous statement
is III keeping with that other
statement which declared that
there are two Democratic parties
IN TaZewell-P rogressives and
Reactionaries. and just about as
true.
And, while we are at it. if the
Sunday papers wish their CORE
spondcnts to express political
views and opinions it is modest
~ suggested that some better
Informed correspondent be
chosen for the job.

ATMOSPHERIC CHANGES.

"A curious Situation" is the
heading of an article appearing
in recent issue of the Marion
American, in which Mr.. Bryan
is taken strongly to task for his
efforts to prevent the California
legislature from passing an anti
alien land law that would be
against the existing treaties be-
tween this country and flowery
kingdom. Since the publication
of the Americans article the
possibility Of an unpleasant
ness" between the United States
and Japan has been obviated,
and the curious" part of the
situation is the position in
which the Colonel has placed
himself in view of his recent
utterances regarding the great
Commoner." His Tazew |
friends, especially those wor-
shippers of the silver-tongued
orator of the Platte, recall read
ing a few months ago, an able
and brilliant article from his
pen, in which the Secretary cf
State was eulogized, and in
which the Colonel appeared to
have at last recognized that the
author of 1.-THE Cross of Gold and
Crown of Thorns" had come
unto his own and could be right
ly called "the Greatest Living
American" What has become
