all, by answering one other ques-
ton, viz: Is the liquor traffic immoral
and therefore unrightcous and an
evil? If so, the traffic should not be
endorsed b any man or set of men
anywhere on the face of the earth
How can community or Il state en-
dorse even, to say nothing of per
hitting and encouraging an immoral
unrighteous and evil practice?
If the liquor traffic is not immoral
and an evil then the State commits
no evil in licensing and virtually en-
gaging in it. If so, then let every
town and country store keep it on
sale, as they do groceries, hardware
dry goods, etc. There is no getting
away from this logic, as we see it.
The question of the sale, not of drink.
ing liquor, is the question now before
the people Of the State.A man may
choose to take Il drink and it's no
body's business but his. But. shall the
State license the sale of liquor as
now? This is the question. If the
traffic is helpful and necessary and
moral, then statewide prohibition is
Il mistake. But, to repeat, if the
courts, church people, the majority
of the best people on earth are cor
rect in pronouncing the traffic inn
moral in its effect and evil in its in
iluence, it should be stopped, and
this should be done even if the state
is thrown into bankruptcy thereby.
How can the state, for any consider
alton whatsoever under the sun. en-
courage an immortality? This is the
question in Il nutshell. And once more,
If the liquor traffic is an evil and
therefore destroyer of character
and Il hindrance to the progress of
the race, then the good men" who
work and vote against prohibition.

THE PULSE OF TRADE.

Dunn's Review for June has these
things to say, among others. of trade
conditions. Reports are still irregular
but favorable advices outnumber
those of AN opposite character. The
large dry goods failure in New York
and the disastrous fire in Masachu-
setts We're disturbing factors. This
month has witnessed an expansion in
the demand for iron and stel. The
wage scale disputes have shut down
several mills and furnaces. A gradual
but steady Improvement has occurred
IN the leather trade. There is much
encouragement to dry goods dealers.
and in fact, all branches from reports
from the West, Southwest and other
distant sections of the country. The
Seaboard Airline has contracted for
80 locomotives, 500 box ears and 10
all-steel passenger coaches. At the
close of the week there were % per
cent. less idle cars ON side tracks
than for the previous week. A great
era of prosperity is predicted for the
near future everywhere.

Captain Tyncs Tends to Ben Owen.

Tazewcll, Va. June 20, 1914.
Virginia Association for Local Self
Government,
Richmond, Va,
Gentlemen:
We have read with some degree of
care, and trust with an open mind,
Mr.. Ben. p. Owens. Secretary's, let
ter transmitting the able and very
ingenious address of the Hon. Royal
+. Cabell on the question of statewide
prohibition, etc, and we beg leave to
present the following brief reply:
We have watched, with no little in
tercst, the proceedings of your I4th
of May Association as reported by
the daily Press of Richmond, and am
free to confess with profound aston
lshmcnt, ut results. From the list of
honored names reported as in attend
ance, we had hoped for different re-
suits. The people of Virginia, as we
see it, asked through the Legislature
to he allowed the undoubted right to
vote as between prohibition or no pro.
hibition, involving only clear cut is
sue for or against. An election that
should he free from any and all en-
tangling or distracting alliances i'm
order that the mind of the voter could
and would be conferred upon the vital
matter to be determined by the free
ballot asked for as right.
Did this fourteenth of May convcn-
ton bear these facts in mind when
they met, aa they claimed in a rep
resentative capacity, and formulated
the Little Palmer Buckner Side
Show" which they are now pressing
upon the people in the guise of Local
Option, through resort to every re
source, land there are many and the
command of the anti-prohibition for
ces OF the state? BY dividing and
obscuring the issue, they hope for. as
an only chance, to win. 1t is their
only chance, and all that ability and
ample resources can do. will and is
being resortcd to, to divert the voters
attention from the sole question at
issue, /. c., prohibition or no prohi-
bition. Local Option and anti-saloon-
ism are not the questions at issue,
and can, and will take care of therl-
selves, as will the personal liberty
fad, also will the local option govern
ment dodge, and we are quite sure
that the Old Commonwealth will look
after the license losses and the fin
ances. Let us stick to the clear cut
issue when voting.
Yours truly,
A. j. TYNES.

TAZEWELL AND PROHIBITION,
Local Option vs. Statewide Prohibition

Local Option " Statewide Prohibition
Tazcwcl voters have been asked
the past week or two to sign a peti-
ton for a statewide prohibition cleo
ton To be called for September. The
law provides that the call must be
signed by at least % per cent. of the
qualified voters Of the State before
an election can be ordered.
a number of good citizens have de
ciined to sign petition ON the ground
that they do not endorse statewide
prohibition, and they do not endorse
statewide prohibition for the reason
that they do not believe prohibition
will prohibit, that we will have boot
leggers andmoonshiners selling amin
ferior grade of liquor on the back
streets and out of the way places in
this town. without license. These OBJ
jectors say they favor local optaun.
as we now have it,
When local option was first propos-
ed for this town and county liquor
was being sold here in open barrooms.
The same objection and argument
against localoption was made
which is now being urged against
statewide prohibition. The directors
SAID better have liquor sold in open
saloon under surveillance of the 20
lice than to have it smuggled in by
boot-lcggers and moonshiners. Local
option carried and sure enough we
had some moonshining. Liquor was
sold on the SLY. And so it will be if
statewide carries. There may, be
some liquor smugged in. But, and
here's the point: What became of
these bootleggers and moonshiners?
Gradually but surely they went to
jail, and to the penitentiary. Where
are they now? There has been no il
legal selling of liquor in this town for
long time. So it will be with state
wide prohibition. Bootleggers will
appear on the side streets and in the
alleys of this and other towns .perhap.
but not for long. When few have
been sent to Jail and the pen the H.
legal traffic will soon cease. The ar
gument that statewide wont pro-
hibit is the devils own argument to
deceive even good men. Some of
these same men who will vote TO
continue the liquortrallic have sons.
and daughters who will marry the
sons of the other men, and these are
unaswerable arguments against the
traffic. The sons and daughters of
Virginia are unanswcrable argu-
ments for the success of the cause
OF statewide prohibition.

Crimson Clover.

This is from Western North Caro-
lima: My red clover is failure
owing to drouth, and l am up against
it for winter feed. have a field of
crimson clover now in full bloom,
which | expected to leave on the land,
and turn under in the fall for sila.re
next year. Will | get more benefit to
the land by turning it under green.
or waiting and turning it under next
winter. Had thought of turning it
now and planting peas for winter
feed. is there better crop?"
Why should you wish to lose time
oy letting the crimson clover stand
till next winter? 1t will soon be dead
and then the rmeainder of the sum-
mer you would have only weeds ana
grass. You can turn the clover and
harrow in godd dressing of acid
phosphate and sow peas and make a
good crop of hay, and then sow Grim
son Clover again to turn under next
spring for your silage corn. Earlier
you could have made hay of the CO
yer before sowing the peas. A mix
ture of Whippoorwill peas and Ito
San soy beans, half bushel of each
an acre, will make you a good hav
crop.-The Progressive Farmer.

Republican Calamity Howl.

There was little mass meeting in
the upper court room of the county
courthouse on Monday, composing
the followers of the slumping and
shrinking Slemp. Some twenty-five
in number according to liberal esti-
mate, but give them the doubt of a
few more of the shirkers. But these
few spoke strongly for Slempism in
this county, as reports go, they elect
ed one hundred and fifty delegates
from Washington county to the
Siemp convention in Bristol.
DR.. Remine, who received his re-
mind last fall, was elected temporary
chairman, with Frank Brownlow as
temporary secretary. Then Peter j.
chairman and Parks permanent sec
rotary. Then the calamity howl was
III order, so speeches were made. and
with perspiring brows and frothing
chins, local authorities on national
conditions endeavored to convince the
assembly of the few that alamity
was somewhere, but the heads of the
"spell-binders" not being transparent
the source of the calamity could not
be discovered by the hearers. These
eniighteners of the dear people failed
to tell their followers present what
prices the farmer was receiving for
his farm products, such as wheat,
corn, cattle, sheep, lambs and other
creations of the farm. They failed
to give the reductions in the costs of
the necessities of life under the Dem
ocratic tariff. They failed to recite
the benefits of the new currency law
and the ready and full supply of
money. The only thing they desired
to do as to say mean things about
the Democrats and this they did and
this is all that can be said of their
speeches. l.. P. Summers, P. j. Dav-
export, II. E. Widener and Judge
McBroom are the reported spell
binders for the occasion.
The question is: Who is suffering
in this county to such an extent as
to want to return Slemp, high pro-
tective republican, back to a Demo-
cratic congress? Grin it, oh we who
seek to convert prosperity into Gala
nifty The people of this county are
not so dead but what they can real
ize the benefits of Democratic ad-
ministration of the federal govern
ment.

The Mexican of Today.

The meeting of the Spaniard and
the Aztec was the meeting of two
angry tides in maeistrom, for the
Spaniard super-imposed ferocity upon
the cruelty of the Aztec. Thus fero-
city and cruelty for four hundred
years have marked the bloody drama
of Mexican history. For three hum
dred years Mexico was ruled by the
rapacious viceroys OF Spain. Then,
under the guise of "liberty, equality,
justice" followed the long line of die
tators, who have led their tortured
land into the shocking condition we
witness today. Mexico, though Il rep
ublic since 1921, with a constitution
which reads almost word for word
like our own, has never had a really
free government.
The average Mexican today is not
as intelligent as his Aztec forefath-
ers. Out of population of fifteen
millions, twelve millions can neither
read nor write. This is worse than
Russia in the days before Peter the
Great. The poems of Mexico are Ell
Their Aztec Indians or half-bree Spa
nish and Aztec. The half-breed Span
lard, whether in Cuba, South America
or the Philippines, never amounted to
anything. He is worse in Mexico. He
is the curse of God on Spanish rule.
In the conquest of Mexico and Peru,
the Spaniards killed millions of the
natives in less than fifty years. They
slaughtered the best of the races they
wished to subdue-completely anihi-
lated Il civilization that was more add
vanced in many ways than that of
Europe. The worst and weakest peo-
pie they had conquered were per-
mitted to live and perpetuate the race
The revenge of Nature was both
quick and effective. Even the trium-
plant conquistadores become degrad-
ed in the general disintegration..
Themselves not the noblest or most
cultivated specimens of Castilian par
entage, the new race derived from a
blending of unprincipled adventurer
with sullen vassal could hardly be one
of fine character. All the bad quail
ties of each ancestral type appeared
in the mixed race.
Nearly all of the many revoits
against Spanish rule In the Latin
American countries have been en-
gendercd by some of these people,
who have part Indian blood in their
veins. All Spain was finally torn from
her seat Of power by the skeleton
fingers of the women and children she
had starved. Mexico, like each OF her
other colonies, became a grotesque
lmpossibility among the nations of
the world. More melancholy still,
Mexico sank so low that it has never
been able to uplift itself, as most of
the once Spanish colonies have done.

MacQueen, in National Magazine for

THE DROUGHT AND THE BOND
ISSUE.

Had you thought of tive mean
the cost of this drought as compared
with the amount of the Bond Issue?
The bond isue of $65O,000 came near
soaring some people out of their
boots, which money was spent on the
roads, payable within 80 years time.
This drought has cost the county at
least and perhaps much more than,
$65O,OOO, and is practically a cash
item. And yet. the county will pay
the drought bill with little inconven-
fence. IA good crop next year will
make things all right. a half mil
lion dollars seems large amount
when put down in. cold cash, but that
amount distributed over this rich
county in stock, grain and grasses
can be lost with but little notice or
inconvenience which one full wear
will cause everybody to forget. And
so it will be with the bond issue.

Toll Gates For Autos.

On and after July LIST, the Roanoke
automobilists and others using the
Roanoke county macadamized roads
will have to help bear the expense of
maintenance. The Roanoke county
board CT Supervisors have adopted
the report of the committee on toll
gates Saturday, which fixes the SEIZED
ule OF rates, the location of gates and
the time the law becomes effective.
Under the State law for the es-
lishment of the toll gate system, the
county is not allowed to put any toll
gate closer than one mile of the cor
poration of Roanoke.
Gates are placed on four roads in
the county. The rates run from 5
cents to 25 cents. This is an expert
ment on the part of the Supervi
sors, the proceeds going, OF course,
to the maintenance of the roads.

Enabling Act Petition.

Several additional signatures were
attached to the enabling petition
which has been in circulation here for
the past several days. The presence
Of the petition in Graham has devel-
oped some rather interesting views
over the temperance question general
ly. 1t is learned that several men
have declined to sign the enabling act
petition, although they were among
the leading spirits in the opposition
to the licensed saloon in Graham
when the question was a live issue
several months ago. Some of the lead
ing temperance people are said to
have expressed considerable surprise
that any one who opposed the saloon
in Graham should refuse to endorse
the enabling act petition and the mat
ter has furnished some very interest
ing discussions among the dry forces
in Graham during the past several
days. The explanation, however, these
parties will probably offer for their
refusal to sign the enabling act peti-
ton is that they are local optionists
and while dry in Graham are wet in
Richmond or willing rather for Rich
mond to remain wet provided the ma
Jority of the voters so desire, but
some OF the local temperance advo
Gates can't see it in that light and are
said to have expressed disappoint-
ment that those claiming to be dry
hesitate to sign the petitions in order
that the whiskey question might be
submitted to the popular vote in Sep
tember.-Graham News in Bluefield
