PREFERENTIAL PRIMARY FOR
POST MASTERS.

Newspaper dispatches state, quite
vaguely and indefinitely, that some
one in Washington or elsewhere has
decided that primary elections will be
necessary, and may be held, in order
to decide who shall be appointed post
master at certain Offices in this sec
ton, as the authorities at Washing
ton seem to be unable to control the
situation
Sometime last year, il will be re-
called, this question was up in this
county. The Democratic Chairman.
Mr.. Ellyson, was written to on the
subject, and replied that the State
Committee had no authority to order
such election, but that the Democrats
of the county could decide the matter
of Il preference for post master in
any way they saw fit. The county
committee, if we remember correctly.
declined to call an election for much
the same reason as that given by Mr..
Ellyson, also stating that such an
election would not necessarily decide
anything positively as TO the appoint
ment of postmaster, as the matter
must necessarily be referred to the
Senate, which alone has the power to
confirm, and therefore say who shall
or shall not hold these Offices. And
there the matter rested. So far MS
we are able to ascertain, the county
committee here stands about where if
has from the iirst-willing that these
appointments shall he made i'm the
regular way, as they have always
been made. Some members of the
committee are in favor of a primary.

gina Senators. AS to Mr. Irvine w.
cannot sec how the question now can
affect his candidacy, but might rather
have II harmful effect upon his cam

In the meantime, Republicans are

meddllng of outside parties. who had
nothing IN the world to do with it, one
way or the other. There seems to be

a WREN'S NEST UNDE THE BUG.
GY SEAT.

Under the seat of the buggy which
brought Mr.. and Mrs. Giles to the
station here on Monday was seen by
number of people novel sight. \
wren has her home and nest under
this buggy seat, ana is raising a
family of six little ones. The little
birds seemed to be in fine shape. This
buggy has been making regular trips
twice a week to town ever since the
nest was built and the first egg laid.
The boys and girls around the Jones
home are evidently humane and kind,
else these little birds would not be
where they are now. 1t is to be hoped
that no old catwill be allowed to dis
turb the family of this happy bird
mother. Cats are great enemies of
the birds, but seem to be on very
friendly terms with the rats, in this
town, at least. Next to a sorry dog
the greatest nuisance is cat. They
do the things they should not do, and
leave undone the things they should
de-like some folks.

AS IT WAS IN POCAHoNTAs.

In another column is published a
communication from Pocahontas TO
the Bluefield Daily Times, giving an
account of how and in what manner
The Glorious Fourth was celebrated
in Tazcwell's and Virginia's chief
mining town. 1t was the first Fourth
celebrated in Pocahontas under the
new order. The picture of disorder
and disgrace may be somewhat over
drawn, but does not appear to be.
The wonder is that conditions were
not worse than described. With about
~ saioons-the nearest within 100
miles-special trains running in every
direction, little else was to be OK
pected than a veritablc bedlam. I'm
der the circumstances there semms to
have been minimum of disorder.
No fatal casualties are reported
still, who can estimate the evil effects
OF the days doings? Far and wide
over the State of West Virginia and
INTO contiguous towns and counties
in Virginia, the influence and effects
went into the homes and women and
children suffered.
Such days and occurrences as these
make Statewide Prohibition absolute
ly certain in September next.
In striking contrast the same Blu
field paper states that "The Fourth
OF July here was regarded as the SAT
est and sanest celebration of Indcpen-
dence day ever held in this city. 81 q
In the absence of the saloons there
was no sign Of drunkenness, q
until after = o'clock, when the Blu
field contingent began to return from
Pocahontas."
The disorder was reduced to the
minimum. There were parades, of
civic organizations, with floats. and
music, decorations, all witnessed and
participated in by great throngs of
people-men, women and children.
Late in the afternoon and night
there were half dozen arrcsts-two
negro women for fighting, negro
young man, Il white man named Ham
ilton, from Bland county, and one or
two others, all of whom, the police
said, had been to Pocahontas during
the day. Which of the two places
Pocahontas or Blueiield, would YOU
choose rs a place of residence for
your wife and children, orof business

THE WHALE AND JONAH

Anything to beat Irvine, is the slo-
gan now of the Republicans of the
Ninth. The Progrcssives, willingly or
unwillingly, seem to be of the same
mind. A combination of the Progress
sives and Republicans will be a pecu-
liar political mixture after all that
has ben said and done. Mr.. Roosevelt
would, In all probability, have been
nominated for the Presidency in Chi
cago, and be in the Presidents chair
today, in all probability, if the Vir-
ginia vote controlled by Mr.. Slemp
had been cast for him. Mr.. Slemp
stuck it out for Mr.. Taft, whose nomi
nation wrecked the Republicanparty.
How can it come to pass now that
Mr.. Roosevelt and his followers can
endorse and support Mr.. Slemp, on
the one hand, or Mr.. Slemp have the
face to ask thesupportof the Bull
Moose followers on the other hand?
Can the Republicans swallow and as
simulate the Progressives, or will the
Progressives, in their struggle for a
living, attempt to annihilate the Re-
publican forces?
AS the only object in viewseems to
be to defeat Irvine, no great political
or other principle being involved, it
makes little odds which animal does
the swallowing.
AS the elephant is a larger animal
than the Moose it seems clear in the
minds of some which one should do
the swallowing. 1t should be borne
in mind, however, that the elephant
has "swunk up" muchly of late. TO
change the figure, will the whale
swallow Jonah or Jonah the whale?

The Triumph of Mediation.

The proirer of mediation bv Ar
gentlnc, Brazil and Chile to prevent
war between the United States and
Mexico we have characterized as one
oil the most dramatic and glorious
events IN the history of international
relations. The acceptance of media
ton by Wilson, Huerta, and in prin.
c,pie by Carranza, was proof positive
tnat all parties to the dispute were
sincerely DESTROYS of finding scmc
nioodless path to peace.
The resort to mediation is now inc
tined by the outcome and proves TO
be victory in the greatestor nil
wars-the war on war, for last week
peace protocol was signed at Nio-
CARA Falls by the mediators and the
delegates of both the United States
and Mexico which not only compile
tely settles the international aspects
OF the controversy, but what is likely
TO he of even more Importance. refers
the internal questinons Tor settlement
to peace conference of the warrinc
factions, the A b C powers and the
United States acting jointly as adj
visers and mediators. To this confer
ence the Constitutionalists have az
reed to send representatives.
The United States promises to re-
cognize the provisional government
to be set up, and to exact no inde,n-
nifty from Huerta. The question of
the salute is entirely waived. The al
phabetical powers agree likwise to
recognize the new government. Mex
leo binds herself to make full pav-
ment for the property of all foreign
ers destroyed during the revolution.
Thus war is averted. But sometime
even better than that has been ac-
complished. Not only do Mexico and
all Pan-America now parceive the
Observation-Disclosures of the United States
but the four greatest republics of the
New World, acting for the first time
as political unit, pledge a lasting
friendship to Mexico and prove that
the nations of America, unlike the
nations of Europe, can work disinter-
estedly and in harmony for the mu-
tual peace and prosperity of the hem
isphere.
Thus peace dawns in Mexico, South
America comes into her hown and
President Wilson, who led the Amer
lean people up to the terybrink of
the abyss, has saved the country from
what Thomas Jefferson called "the
greatest scourge of mankind"
This is feat of craftsmanship
scarcely surpassed in the annals of
government, and Woodrow Wilson is
the man who deserves the chief Gre
dit for 1.-THE Independent.

When Gen. Mas Beat It,"

The real human interest stories
bearing on the Mexican situation, as
a rule, do not get on the wires-that
is the press services which supply
the newspapers with their news from
the front. The press associations con
Germ themselves with the "big" news
that develops from day to day and
then furnish more copy than the ave-
rage newspaper can use.
All this is preliminary to an inter
esting letter published in yesterdays
Winchester Star, from MILAN H.
Hotel, of that town, who is attached
to the battleship Vermont, now at
Vera Cruz, which relates one of the
most amusing incidents that has oc-
Cured during the whole unpleasant
ness.
General Mas, the commander in
chief of the Mexican Federal troops
stationed near that place, the letter
states, came into the American lines
short time ago under flag of truce
Funston, commanding the American
Army of occupation, exclaimed, ~

which to evacuate the city"
General Funston who has a merry
twinkle in his eyes, wheeled about,
and surveying the Mexican from
head to foot, smiled and replied,
"And | give you just ten minutes to
get beyond our lines, or the Mexican
army will be minus general" Gen
eral Mas, it is related, made no fur
