TO KNOW GODS WILL.
Sunday School Times.)

There are some persons who cannot
know the will of God for their life
work. Oftentimes they cannot know
the will of God even for lesser matters
than their life-work. They ask him
to show them what his will is, and
they may spend considerable time and
effort trying to find out; but it is use
less. And why? The answer is sug-
gested in searching word recently
spoken by j. Campbell White, General
Secretary of the Laymen's Missionary
Movement, as he asks the question:
"Can we discover the will of God I'M
til we have decided to do it?" 1t does
no good, Mr.. White went on to ex-
plain, to urge people to seek to know
the will of God as to whether they
should enter the ministry, or foreign
or home missions, or any other call
ing, if it is evident that they would
not do the will of God if they did
know it. The first matter to be set
tied, when seeking to know Gods will,
is that we will do it whenever he tells
us, no matter what it may prove to
be. Then we give God chance to
speak to us in unhindered clearness.
The unsurrendered life is a mentally
befogged life. Only the life fully
placed at his disposal is life open to
the light of heaven.

A WILSON CONGRESS.

"War in the East! Peace in the
West! Thank God for Wilson," is the
heading on the cover of the Demo-
cratic campaign textbook for 1914. All
the campaign literature" is pitched
in the same key; it is on Woodrow
Wilson's record that the Democrats
ask for the election of a Democratic
House and Democratic senator's.
There has ben some sanctimonious
criticism of this, some pretended hor-
ror at it, but there is no sincerity in
the Indignation. 1t is on the Wilson
record of achievement that the Demo-
Gratis ask for Congress which shall
support him to the end of his term,
and it is Wilson who is to be approx
ed or disapproved at the polls.-New
York Times.

THE ELECTION JUDGES.

The usual and expected complaint,
heard in every political campaign, has
made its appearance, as to the APP
pointment of election officers. Three
judgcs-two Democrats and one Re-
publican, are appointed by the cleo
toral board of the county, to hold and
conduct the election ut each of the
precincts in the county. AS we un.
derstand it the Republicans are allow
cd to name three judges ut each pre-
cinct, and from these three the cleo
toral board selects one to serve as
Judge ut the election, and sometimes,
quite frequently at number of vot-
ing places, the selection made, and
that too, from among those selected
by the Republicans from whom the
choice is to be made does not please
the Republicans There is nearly al
ways growing and grumbling over
the matter. The judges selected in
Jeffersonville district, it is said, are
generally acceptable to the Republi-
cans, but not quite so in the other two
districts. A complaint reaches this
office that the man, Mr.. McGraw, we
believe, selected by the Republicans as
their judge ut Cedar Bluff, was not ac-
ceptablc to the Democrats for reasons
not given, and one Mr.. Mcclure, sub
stituted as judge we have no informa-
ton as to this case. However, there
is no objection on the part of any
body to just and lawful division of
officers at the elections. So far as we
have known the elections in this
county have been honestly held, and
the vote honestly counted, and GER
tainly the Republicans have little rea-
son for complaint in this county. The
election officers heretofore have been
sincerely and scrupulously honest in
their conduct of the elections, and
these contentious, contests and disputes
by either side leads to the conclusion
that somebody is suspicious that some
body is going to steal something from
somebody. In this election there is to
be no buying votes, no stealing votes,
but an honest, square vote, and an
honest count of the votes as cast, and
it is to be hoped, no further misrepre-
sentation and clouding of the issues.
Enough of that has been done already
to last for years to come.

SOCIALISTS COLLAPSE.

Mr.. John r. Mcmahon, prominent
New York Socialist, writing in The In
dependent, declares that Socialism in
Europe has collapsed. Socialism,"
says he, opposes war on the ground
that war is due to the clash of eco
nomic interests of the master class,
and the working class has no reason
to spill its blood for the sake of trades
and markets" "a rich mans war"
fought by poor men. OF course,
when was there ever war of which
this could not be said? Socialism has
taught for fifty years, that war is
wrong, and has cxerted its strength
against war. Nevertheless, in this
present war the Socialists have taken
up arms in defence of aristocracy and
capitalism, and Mr.. Mcmahon says
Socialism has suffered moral col
lapse, and has been betrayed by it's
leaders. Some one makes the trite re-
mark, that not one man in a thous-
and of the European war knows what
he is fighting for further than that he
must kill as many of his brothers as
he can. Was not this about the case in
Civil War in this country? What
percentage of the Southern soldiers.
or Northern soldiers either, as to that,
knew what he was fighting for, or in
fact, had anything to fight for? They
only knew that if they didn't fight
they would be shot, and like the So
cialists of Europe, they preferred
butchery to martyrdom. The col
lapse of Socialism is only an Incl
dent in the general collapse of Euro
pean civilization, and perhaps-who
knows, but that out of and from this
wreck of matter and crash of worlds n
new, and real Christian civilization,
Phoenix like, will spring, and the ma
lions learn war no more?

A BOY WITH A FUTURE.

The story of Harvey Brooks, fif-
teen-year-old, who lives in Morton
Grove, ILL.,, not many miles from Chi
cago, is attractive and inspiring. We
only know Harvey through the news
papers, We'd like to meet him and
shake his hand and hear him talk of
how he did it.
For the past spring and summer
Harvey not only worked through two
grades of school, but studied music
as well, and cleaned up over 5000 in
real money on the side. He did it
by growing frst-class radishes and
roasting ears and tomatoes for the
city market. Harvey leased from his
father a patch of not quite an acre,
paying full rental. He bought his
own tools and seed and did practically
all his cultivating himself. He kept ac-
curate books of the outgo and income,
and at the end of the season found
he was net winner by few cents
over 5000. 1t wouldn't be surprising
to hear that he had leased several
acres next year and was hiring help.
OF course, Harvey was lucky in
living next door to big market That
helped some Still, almost any boy
with the energy and the determine
ton could do about as well, provided
they made use of their chance. Uncle
Sam not only provides a parcel post
to carry farm produce to market, but
actually introduces the consumer to
the producer in order to help estab-
lish trade relations A few miles diff
ference in distance oughtn't to count.
There are dozens of ambitious bows
in counties contiguous to Richmond
who could tie Harvey's score. How
about it, boys? Are you afraid of
work?
Meanwhile, we wish we could keep
an eye on Harvey Brooks That boy
has future or we miss our guess

DEMOCRATIC DAY.

Monday last was Democratic Day
at Wytheville
Hon. r. Tate Irvine, candidate for
Congress; Congressman Carter Glass
and Governor Stuart made addresses.
and each of them were characteristic
of the speakers. Mr.. Irvincs speech
was along the lines of his recent adj
dress at Tazewell, which was heard by
a number of readers Of this paper.
Below is given extracts from the
ine speeches made by Governor
Stuart and Congressman Glass:
Governor Stuart began his remarks
most happily by referring to the fact
that he was born in Wytheville. He
stated he was not going to undertake
any long or set political speech, which
function he would leave to the distin-
guished congressman who was to fol-
low him, but would simply talk to his
hearers as one neighbor and friend to
others. He then proceeded to dis
cuss briefly the leading features in the
policies of the present administration
and the great measures that have been
enacted.
"The Republican claim" he said.
that the Underwood tariff has re-
duced the people of this country to a
condition of almost hopeless bank
ruptcy, that under the Underwood
tariff vast quantities of foreign goods
come in at cheap prices to compete
with our goods here, yet that because
of the Underwood tariff the cost of
living has increased. Cheaper goods
from abroad, they say, have increased
the cost of living at home. What
stuff and nonsense to try to run down
the Threats of intelligent people!"
And" continued the governor, ooh
how they howled about five-dollar
calves! That was the price they fixed
for calves if the Democrats won. I
deal little in livestock myself. and
If any man here has bought any calves
at five dollars, I'd like for him to come
forward and show himself. The price
has been five times five dollars. And
then wool! Why, after the Demo-
Gratis won, some of my good Repub-
hcan friends had believed SO strongly
In the argument of their speakers that
they went around Offering twelve
cents pound for wool, and never
came to their senses until they found
the wool had all been bought I'D bv
Democrats at twenty-six cents, four
cents more than the year before and
eight cents moret han two years be-
fore under the Taft administration
The governor closed with a glow
ing eulogy of President Wilson and
an eloquent appeal to the voters of
this great white district to stand bv
their great Virginia president and
elect Tate Irvine to Congress.
Mr.. Glass received great ovation

PLANTING FRUIT TREES.

Fall Is the Best Time for Setting
Trees-HOw to Head Them-Keep-
ing the Orchard in Good Condition.
CIV. +. Massey In Progressive Farm
err
From Virginia: 81 would like to
set about 100 peach and apple trees,
say about 20 to 25 peach and 70 to 80
apples trees. Please tell the best va
rieties to ripen in succession, how far
apart to set them, and whether to
plant in fall or spring, as the land
is just being cleared and has not been
in cultivation for number of years.
Also where is the best place to get
them 2"
Many of the good old varieties of
peaches have been superseded by new
ones, and there are very good old va
rieties that are now hard to get. For
early peaches plant the Greensboro,
a larger and better peach than Ans
den, formerly planted. Mountain
Rose is old but still good. Champion,
one of the hardest and surest to bear;
Oldmixon Free is one of the very best,
and Crawford's Late, liberia, Ray and
Chairs Choice are good.
For early apples plant Yellow Trans
parent, Red Astrakan, Early Har-
vest; for fall, Bonum, Buckingham,
Fall Cheese; for winter, Virginia
Beauty, Stayman Winesap, York I'm
perial, Grimes Golden. This last one is
best for early winter and Christmas.
Always plant fruit trees in the fall.
Our soil does not usually freeze deep
ly and the trees will be making new
fihrous feeding roots ready for the
swelling buds in the spring, and the
trees will be far more certain to live
than if planted in the spring. Set the
peach trees 20 feet apart each way
and the apples 35 feet. Or you can
set the apples 40 feet apart and put q
peach tree between them, and the
shorter-lived peach will be out of the
way by the time the apples need all
the room.
Never allow red cedar tree near
an apple orchard, for the cedar car
ries the winter stage of the rust on
the apple leaves. You cannot grow
apple trees and red cedars together.
In buying apples always buy one-year-
old trees. Peach trees are always sold
at one year but many people want
large apple trees. The nurserymen al
ways have the three and four-year-
old trees, and you have to accept the
head started in the nursery, and this
will always give you too tall stem.
AS Mr.. Hale, the noted fruit grower,
once said at a horticultural meeting at
Front Royal, Va, 81 grow fruit on
the head of the tree and not on the
trunk, and only want trunk enough
to carry the head" In these days
when spraying is absolutely necessary
to success, we want low-neaded trees,
and low-headed tree is safer from
the wind and snow, and more easy to
gather fruit from.

when he arose to speak, and his adj
dress was listened to with closest at
tention.
ale adverted to the fact that the
Republicans are saying there is no
need of war tax; that the United
States has $178,O0O,OOO on deposit in
the national banks and all we have to
do is to draw out this money. This
President Wilson wisely refrained
from doing, because thereby credit
would have been so gravely con-
strictcd by the withdrawal of this
vast sum of money from the channels
of commerce as to bring on acute
financial distress Then Mr. Glass pro-
ceeded to read from copy of news
paper published in the year 1907, how
President Roosevelt had directed his
secretary of the treasury to issue
$3.50, 100000 of bonds rather than to
withdraw from the banks the funds
then on deposit with them by the
United States government, and which
amounted at that time to 10000 900.
1t was all right for a Republican
president not to take this money out
of the banks to meet the needs of the
government but terrible thing for
President Wilson not to do it. Con-
gresham Glass devoted himself at
some length to Mr.. Slemp and his
castigation was something fearful. He
simply skinned him. He tore to tat
ters the statements in speech of
Slemps, now being franked through
this district, and to which is append
ed a speech of Congressman Mondell
in which the latter takes occasion to
heap abuse upon President Wilson
for his Mexican policy.
an that Speech" said Mr.. Glass
Crank Mondell praises Huerta, the
murderer, and abuses President Will
| son, the patriot. In that speech he
used language concerning President
Wilson and this government that i.
absolutely reasonable, and | wish
some one who hears me would convey
to him and to Slemp, who endorse!
his reasonable utterances by circulat
ing them that if Mondell had sale
about IIuerta what he had about
President Wilson and he were in tn,
power of Huerta, he would forthwith
be lined up against wall and shot.
Mr.. Glass then concluded with {
most eloquent tribute to Presiden
Wilson, and called upon his hearers t.
support our great president by voting
for Irvine.
The speech of Mr.. Glass was one O
the greatest political speeches eve
delivered here. It's effect was electri
flying, and his hearers left the court
house with the firm determination t.
elect Irvine to Congress.
