No Change in Mexic Policy.

Mexico City.-The announcement
that President Wilson's policy proba-
bly, would remain unchanged after
John Lind's trip to Pass Christian,
is source of disappointment to most
foreigners and many Mexicans, who
believed the interview between the
president and his personal represen-
tative might result in some definite
step to put an early end to the dis
tressing conditions, which, so far as
business is concerned, are fast grow
ing acute.

Judge Parkhill for Senator

Tallahassee Democrat: The Gaines
Vile Sun endorses Judge Charles B.
Parkhill of Tampa as a most suita-
BILE candidate for the United States
senate. There are thousands Of vot-
ers in the state who are opposed 10
both the United States senators
coming from Jacksonville, and have
an equally capable man from any
other section of the state would sup
port him. Judge Parkhill is particu-
larly strong in West Florida, his old
home, and having been for years one
of the most useful members of the
supreme court, no one could question
his ability. Should he decide to be-
come candidate and be elected he
would soon be occupying one of the
highest positions in our highest leg

edy the words of the
MAN, "Of making many
5 there is no end, and much
II them is WEAKNESS to the
flesh"
But this rev song put into the
psalmist's mouth wac as much
above these others as the heav-
ems are above the earth. In
coed, it came down from heaven.
1t is the gift of God.
The Psalmist defines his new
song by opposition. 1t is "even
praise unto our God" Ard that
makes it new every day to the
devout soul who realizes that the
goodness that inspires such
praise is new every morning
and fresh every evening. And
the very newest thing that could
come to myriats of people At
this New Year time would be
praise to God; for they have new
err praised Him. Why not catch
the new note now?
The "new song" is the natural
outcome Of delivering blessings.
Just see what words forerun
the new song in the Psalmist's
experience! Here is "cry"
in verse l. Here is IAN horrible
pit" into which he had fallen, in
verse 2. Here, at the bottom of
the pit was "the miry clay" that
gripped and held him like
"Slough of Despond." But on
the other hand, there was an ear
for his cry, an arm for his uplift,
rock for his feet, way for his
goings and, then, "a new song"
for his grateful heart and joyful
lips to utter. So, friend,
Count your many blessings.
See what God has done"
for you; and you, too, may feel,
in your own soul, the throbbings
| of "the new song" That is the
| natural and obvious prompting.
Singing the "new song" here is
the prelude and preparation for
the radiant minstrelsies of the
hereafter.
For the heavenly music heard
by John on Patmos was "the new
sorg." If we offer praise to God
! here. and induce others to Join
in the sweet symphony, we shall
be tuning our powers from the
heavenly choirs.
"And when in scenes of glory,
| We sing the New. New Song,
Twill be the Old, Old Story.
F.. That we have loved so lone"

ed to create four vice admirals in the

said he had determined on this course
to avoid the possibility Of embarrass-
ment to the American navy in for

explained, in a field which reasonably
should be dominated by American in

Tampa Tribune: Lakeland gave i
good account of itself in its annlver
sary celebration, which ushered in
the New Year. The celebration was
very creditable one and served to
emphasize the splendid growth which
has characterized one of the best
towns in the country. At proper
Tomato rate of progress, Lakeland
will, when it celebrates its sixtieth
anniversary, be one of the big cities
of the South. And there is no APP
parent reason why it should not con-
tinue to grow as it has in the past.

CaNh ObhSis
The country is in the midst .
financial and industrial panic
James R. Mann, Republican leader
of the House.
The lumber industry in my State
is prostrated.-William L. Hum
phrey, standpat Republican Con-
gresham from Washington.
The lever of prosperity has been
eversed.-Joseph g. Cannon, eX-
Speaker of the House.
Silent wheels, smokeless stacks,
and suffering people will speak
louder than any declaration of
principles that we can make.-Reed
Smoot, Senator from Utah.
Thus encouraged, the Republican
leaders made up their minds that
they need not even adopt the pre-
tense of the devil when sick. They
adopted a policy of standing pat and
waiting for their ancient ally, gen.
eral depression, to drag them out
of their pit That a political or
ganization should adopt so brutal
and cynical an attitude toward the
public welfare is bad enough, but
there is worse element in the case
which is clearly expressed by The
New York World
For such a par it is only a
step from the wish to the deed.
The evil passions that men Sc
cretly cherish develop later into
notorious wrongs that affiict the
earth. When political organiza-
ton devotes itself to panic it be-
comes an active agent of panic.
There is not Republican lead
er who does not know that tinGn-
cial disquiet is universal. If those
who wait upon panic and distress
are familiar with foreign markets
as they are with Wall Street, they
know that consols in London
reached the lowest price ever rec
orded for them yesterday, and they
know that in every Continental
capital there is commercial caution
and uncertainty. Can free ma
ton tolerate a political party that
is Ill upSIl anu SlllIlCI w tlllldIACc Will
the piratical speculative interests
that find profit in disasters which
they engineer?
The Republican organization ha
made its bed. Barnes and Penros
and Watson md Cannon can lie in j
comfortably enough. 1t is to thei
liking, But what of the so-calle
progressive Republicans, Hadley O
) Missouri, Borah of Idaho, Cummin
of Iowa? They must now lie in tn

r ty to come cut in movement whic

of the time. They stayed behind b.

A woman wrote to the Governor that

The Tampa Tribune devoted its
leading editorial of last Monday to
its reasons for publishing the weekly
sermons of pastor Russell" They
are printed solely because there is L
demand for the rot. individually"
explains the Tribune, "we believe that
Pastor Russell is no more than a
smart BUSINESS man, with morals ad-
justed to his conception of the easiest
way to make money. Like many 9TH
ers he has found that the pulpit aft
fords a broad field or spreading the
Word with a golden ring.
He doesn't do all this for nothing He
doesn't do it simply for the love of
helping humanity. No sane man can
read his sermons and say that they
do the needy any good, or that they
are other than ridiculous construc-
lions of the scripture woven around
fanaticism most unnatural. He has
followers, thousands of them. So
have other religious fanatics. Through
no other medium may the CRATER
work so successfully as through that
of some new thought shocking all
set ideas and disturbing all known
principles" Further along the Tri-
bune says: Zone newspaper, the
Brooklyn Eagle, which is located in
the same city with the Pastors head
quarters, made bold to expose him in
some of his personal affairs. TT,
Pastor entered suit for libel in the
sum of 100000. The libel wasn't
proven and, in the sense of the law,
the Pastor stands convicted of these
charges of moral delinquency"

Social at North Tazewell.

North Tazewell, Va, March 4th.
Editor Clinch Valley News:-
Sir;--The young set Of "buds" and
"buddies" in this mans town have
done quite lot to discount the de-
pressing effect of the cold spell, which
began on the End of February and
is yet lingering in the lap of March
a series of surprise parties have been
pulled off in the town and in some
cases the surprise was 80 complete
that some of the "unexpected" guests
arrived before quite all preparations
had been made for their entertain
ment.
The first of these delightful events
was the storming of Miss 'Lisbeth
and Master Keener Hall, who were
at home to all their young friends,
until those young friends got sleepy
and went home in couples to find the
old folks had given them out and re-
tired.
Another occurred ut the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. John p. Peery, and was
arranged for the Coming out" of
their two fine boys, and charming
little daughter. A little later in the
week, Miss Evelyn Ireson was caught
while Studying her lessons" by sub
stantially the same rosebud garden
of girls, and the same bandit band
of buddies" and they all say that
Evelyn played the hostess to per-
fection. All innocent amusements
were indulged in, but the b. b. BIS.
were more or less disappointed that
the tango, the bear and dip were
barred, and nothing was on more
thrilling than William Matrimitv and
of course the-forfeits. Since then
the young folks have been going to
school when the weather permitted.
Miss Marie, the lovely daughter of
the house of Baker and her youthful
aunt, Miss Carmen Simones, had as
weekend visitors Miss Nan Ander-
son, of Norton, Va, Miss Monica
Henttil, also of Norton, and Miss
Nan Cox, Of Berwind and Dungannon.

the subscription rate of the .Clinch
Valley News will be S1.50 per Year.
This increase in the rate is absolute
ly necessary If anything like n decent
or reasonable living is to be made
by its publication. Everybody knows
how the cost of living and of doing
business has increased. The expenses
oil running paper now are double
what they were few years ago. Our
prices have not, at any time, increased
We believe our readers, most of whom
are reasonable, successful business
men, will approve this siep. They
do not work Tor nothing, and do moi, ,
therefore, believe that others should
do SO. The truth is. for the past two
years the paper has been supported
by other departments of the Office.
The paper has not supported itself.
The merchants and business men OF
the town have seen fit to discontinue
advertising, which, heretofore, had
enabled the paper 10 be published at
n small profit. But now, as our col
umns will show, the town is doing
little TO support the paper. We are
forced, therefore, to put the paper
vi DdSlS winch VIII give nj least
reasonable return on investment and
labor. The paper is worth $l.5O n
year-abOut 3 cents per week-if il
is worth anything. AT any rate, the

please make note of this and gov
ern yourselves accordingly.
All subscriptions, new or renewals,
will be accepted, of course, at the
old rate up to May 1. All subscrib-
ers paid up beyond May l will not be
charged the new rate until their sub
scription expires. For instance, if you
are paid up to date in 1915, or any
month after May 1, 1914, your new
rate will go into effect at the time
and date TO which you arc paid. On
and after the expiration of your pres
ent subscription you will be charged
S1.50 from that time.
All subscriptions, new and renew
ais, will be received for one year or
as many years as you choose in ad-
vance, at the old rate. Well see now
who of our readers are reasonable
and fair, and who of them want IL all
themselves, and the editors to have
nothing.
