Leading Newspapers Give Strong
Endorsement to Wilson Policies

Public opinion overwhelmingly in
dorses the management of national
affairs by President Wilson. Both
startling and important are the num-
ber and variety of instances in which
the great independent newspapers and
the powerful independent weeklies
have vigorously supported the party
in power. From time to time Repub-
lican organs have joined in the gen.
eral chorus of praise.
Tariff.
Even the action of the Democrats
upon that most bitterly fought of all
party issues-the tariff-won favor
able comment from other than Demo-
cratic sources. Soon after the passage
of the Underwood act many such edi-
torials as the following were publish
ed:
A Big Half Years Work.
Milwaukee Journal Qnd. Rep.):
"For the first time in fifty years the
interests of the people have triumphed
in the enactment of tariff measure.
Party pledges have been observed, the
tariff has been removed or substantial
ly lowered on many articles of COM
mon necessity. Most of all begin
ming has been made of showing the
falsity of thee lain that high tariffs
have been protecting American labor.
The fundamental of the tariff ques-
tion has probably been settled for all
time. 1t is big half years work."
Springfield, Mass. Republican Qnd.
Rep.): "The progress of this first
measure of legislation establishes the

party to it's first great milestone in
the discharge of the responsibility

ted to it. This will give hope and con-
fidence to its members that the rest of
the Wilson program is possible of at
tainment, and so to be expected"
New York Evening Sun (Rep.)

that Democratic Congress has at

New York Journal of Commerc,

WHY NOT JOINT DISCUSSION,
(Editorial.)

For once we are heartily in favor
of joint discussion by the candidates
for Congress this fall. Both sides
should be heard by the voter. This is
an educational campaign, if there ever
was one, and to hear only one side is
obviously unfair to both sides. How
ever fair speaker may wish TO be
his prejudices and self-interests will
warp and color his statements in spite
of himself. And this is as true of
one candidate as it is of another.
When a speaker knows that his state
ments are to be challenged on the spot
he will be the more careful to be clear
and truthful.
The voters of Tazewell want to
hear-need to hear, both sides. They
cannot vote intelligently unless they
know the truth. Let us have both
sides presented by representative
men--not one-sided, lopsided per-
version of the facts.
A few days ago Mr.. Irvine and Mr..
Byrd spoke here after quite extensive
advertising. 1t was understood by
Chairman Higginbotham, so we are
informed, that there was to be NO
other speaking in town on that day.
MIR. Slemp had an engagement at
Cleveland on that day. But what hap
pened? 1t was "convenient' for Mr..
Slemp and Mr.. Cole to cancel the
Cleveland engagement, or change it
from morning to night, and run up to
Tazewell on the morning train, and
speak at the same hour, just across
the street, from where the Democratic
meeting was held. Somebody said
that the Republican leaders did not
want their people to hear the Demo-
Gratis speak, and hence their meeting.
We don't know what the idea was, but
we do know that such meetings do but
little good beyond ':rousing little
enthusiasm" among the faithful.
A Comparison and Parallel.
Sometime ago we attended Bap-
tist meeting on n Sunday. There
were present n small congregation of
enthusiastic Baptists, "frmly rooted
and grounded in the faith" The min
lister spoke one hour on the subject of
baptism by immersion, and there
wasn't man, woman or child in the
house that was not already convinced
before he began.
What's the use. The same with the
Democratic and Republican meetings
here. Both sides were convinced be-
fore the speakers bgan. The time to
educate Democrats is between, not
during, political campaigns, when
votes-and Republican and Independ-
ent votes, are what is needed. Let the
voters have both sides, and after they
hear both sides they will be able
to cast an intelligent vote, and the
party objecting to this arrangement,
in this campaign, gives strong ground
for the suspicion, that it is afraid for
its people to hear the other side.

was one of the leading prophets of
disaster under the Underwood tariff.
The dispatches informed us, however,
few days ago that his own mills are
now buster. than they have been in a
long time. Probably Mr.. Hill has no
personal objection to prosperity thus
alighting on his own head, despite the
fact that it falsifies his predictions.
But even more notable is the news
from Philadelphia and elsewhere that
woolen manufacturers are having
something like a boom. They we're in
the most doleful of anticipatory
dumps when the tariff bill was pend
ing, but now seem to bed iscovering
that their fears, in so far as they were
not feigned, were groundless."

THE BEST CORN AND
THE BEST COW

Everybody, or nearly everybody
thinks, and upon occasion declares
that they have the best COW, and grow
the best corn. As fact, neither the
COW nor the corn have ever been test
cd. 1t is one thing to guess at the
quality of milk COW gives, as it
stands in the pail, foam and all, and
another thing to weigh the milk. 1t
looks like two gallons. Weigh it, al
lowing 8 1-2 pounds (about) to the
gallon. The milk looks rich. How
rich is it? The plate Of butter taken
from the churn does not tell the story
exactly. Test it. This is the only
way to know exactly whether your
cow gives rich or poor milk. The
handling and churning of the milk
may do the COW injustice. Test your
milk.
And the same about corn.
Guessing again-guessing at the
acreage, guessing at the yield not
carefully measured in a flour barrel
supposed to hold so much. How much
shelled corn by weight do you get
from a bushel of corn in the ear?
Are you growing corn cobs where you
should be growing grain? A test and
only test scientifically and accurate
ly made, will determine. Bring q small
quantity of milk (Dr. Peirce will tell
you how much), to the Court House
on Wednesday, November 4th, and SO
pounds, 1-2 bushel of corn in the ears,
and have tests made. 1t is worth
something to know. How else can we
find out the best kind of corn to plant.
Old corn can be brought if you wish.
Get some corn dried out of the new
crop, Don't fail to bring your corn
and milk. sos

THE DEATH IF
 W. G. B0YCE

W. c. Boyce, who was taken from his cabin on Ninth street Sunday to the White Pass hospital, suf- fering from an acute attack of pneumonia, died this morning at 4 o'clock. At the time of his death he was past 70 years of age. Funeral services will be held at the M. E church on next Sunday at 2 p. m.
 While MT. Boyce for many years prior to his death had been a fam iliar figure around Skagway, few, if any, of the people here know any thing Of his private affairs or where his relatives, if he had any living, reside.
 In the early days of the Klon- dike rush he had a twin brother with him, who was said by those who knew, to have been a per feet image of him, but this broth CT early succumbedd to the hard ships of the north and now lies buried in the old cemetery at the foot of Reeds falls. He is also said to have sister living in Chi cago, but this report has not so far been verified.
 Mir. Boyce was a hard working man and very highly esteemed by all those with whom he came in contact. Notwithstanding the h. borious ceiling which he chose to follow ho was man of education, and in the little cabin in which he has lived for years is a carefully selected library of the works of standard authors.
 From MT. Boyces industrious and frugal habits it was generally sup posed that he had quite a sum of money on hand, but up to the present writing only $3 have been found.
 It is thought probable that good many of the people around town for whom he has been work ing may be indebted to him in small sums and it is earnestly re- if there be any such that thy will come forward and leave the amounts they owe in the hands of Marshal Frank Page, by whom the money so paid in will be used to defray the expenses of the fun eral.
