tiers, he swan until rescued and kept
his helpless wife anoat by grasping
her hair in his teeth. That's all.
1t is simple story, moving story;
yet we do not recall in the life of any
palladin greater heroism.
Wireless Operator Kuehn was on
duty when the prov of the Nantuck-
ct dealt the Monroe her death blow.
When the flood water stopped his
dynamo, he waited until shipmate
in the emergency dynamo. Then,
with fingers sure and unfailing, he
rent the unfricndly ether with his
anguished call. Soon his current
failed him; his spark died; all that
could be done had been done. A life
preserver was at hand; he was
clothed and strong of arm. But just
as he was about to go overheard he
found girl without coat or jacket.
We fancy he did not hesitate or fight
battle with himself. We fancy
that the moment he saw her helpless
his fingers flew to his belt and put
it about the girl. We fancy that he

Again we say, Thank God! The

WHY:

The sum of $l70, 0C0.000, i'll round
numbers, was deposited in the
banks of Virginia in 1919.
This sum taxed ut 10 Gems on the
hundred, would yial $4,000 of rev.
enuc to the state.
The average assessment Of farm
lands in Virginia is taxed ut the
rate of about 20 yer cent. of is
value. The state tax rate is 80 cents
IN the hundred of ASSESSED value
Farm lands of the REAL value of
$l7O000, 900, taxed at ONE-FOURTH
valuc-thc average rate of assess
would net the state treasury
the tax on deposits ut 10 cents on
he hundred.
Money is taxed ut 100 cents on the
dollar. 1t cannot be assessed Il
cent less.
Why should money be taxed more
than other forms of property, more
than farms, for instance?

THE DOCTORS PULLING HAIR.

AT this time, above all others, the
Richmond doctors should be stand
ing together. The consolidation of
the two medical colleges and the
establishment of better hospital ia
cilities, are important matters now
pending in the Capital City. And
now, just at the wrong time, there is
a rucus among the doctors.
DR.. George Ben Johnston, the
leading physician and surgeon of the
south, has been attacked for derelic-
ton of duty, by several physicians
of the city, and charges openly pre-
fcrrcd. Whatever the motive back of
this attack, it is peculiarly unforu-
nate at this time. The people of
Virginia and the entire country will
require to be clearly Shown" before
they accept as true the charge, that
Dr. Johnston has failed to toe the
mark where toeing was possible.

Governor VIM. Hodges Mann, that

that is and is to be, please God, for
four years. Virginia is to be CON
graduated. Through trying and
eventful four years the ship of state
was so guided as to avoid the rocks
and wrecks. Through the next four
years, well who can say? Unless
past precedcnts are meaningless and
future prospects and indications de-
luding, all will be well, and more
so. Governor Mann retires with
honors thick upon him, still vigorous
and strong. He has maintained the
dignity and prestige of the highest
office in the state. Governor Stuart
enters upon the duties of the re-
sponsible position backed up by the
united and hearty sympathy of the
whole state, and mind and heart
strong and rich in those qualities OF
which great rulers are made. Al.
hail, and three cheers.

KEEPING HOME TRADE

Says an exchange: "A town mer-
chant met Il lady on the street the
other day who was carrying parcels
post package she had just received.
In reply to an inquiry from the mer-
chant, the lady stated that the pack
age contained Il pair of lace curtains
for herself and several articles for
a neighbor, ordered from Il mail order
house. why didn't you buy them
from me- asked the merchant; 4

replied the lady, Il didn't know you
had them. You ought to advertise.
and let us know what you have foi

Just so! a merchant may have
all the goods necessary, but unless
the people know the fact that he has
them, he is likely to keep them on the
shelves. Slow, by degrees, after Il
while, the buyer may find out, by
inquiry or some other slow process.
People are busy these days. They
go straight to what they want, if
they know where it is to be found.

he Hasn't seen the thing done in this
section. He calls for proof. Alfalfa
has been tried in this section to a
very limited extent, due, perhaps, to
just such talk as he handed out.
People, particularly Tazewell people,
are not swift to try new things. The
old seems good enough. Colonel
Browning was quick TO fall in line
with the new politics, and to don the
badge of Progressive, but outside
Of this political fad he is still will

Alfalfa growing is no longer AN
experiment anywhere. Wherever
tried in Tazewcll it has succeeded, if
properly sown. 1t has failed no oft
ener than timothy or red clover. But
we trust no one will be deferred by
the hercsies OF this stand-pat agri-

HOW SHALL THEY BE
REACHED?

How to get information dissemin-
ated among the people is, as every
body knows, problem now, as it
has been for years. There was n
time when there was lack of infor.
nation on many subjects of everv-
day life, particularly as to questions
OF agriculture, health and domestic
science. And there are yet of course
many unsolved and untouched cues
tons pertaining to all departments of
life, but more is known today of how
and how not, what and what not. than
ever before. Thousands upon thous
ands of men and women are at work
IN school room, laboratory and work
shop, investigating, experimenting
and finding out things for the bet
terment of social, domestic and in
dustrial conditions, and the end is
not even discernible through power
ful telescopes. We arc just begin
ming to learn things. The grea;
problem is now, how to get thes,

pie. AS we see it, the hope of tho

NAGGING RAILROADS.

Somebody has said that when Il
legislator finds himself short on
something TO do i'm the legislature,
some measure to propose or oppose,
he tackles the railroads, and finds it
not always impossible to hatch out
something against these big corpora
lions. Regularly every two years
the Norfolk and Western, and other
roads perhaps, pass under the rod, 4"
and are brought to the bar "to show
cause, make answer" etc. There is
now pending before the legislature
a bill forbidding railroads in h c
state from hauling more than fifty
cars in one train. The patrons and
advocates of the bill contend that the
longer the train the greater the dan
ger incurred. Another bill provides
that an additional brakeman shall be
put on all trains carrying more than
thirty cars.
To carry out the provisions of
the fifty car bill will entail an addi-
tional cost upon the railroads of Il
million dollars. 1t will amount to al
most doubling the present capacity
of hte roads. There would be extra
engines, engineers, etc, etc, all the
way down. Besides, facts us well as
figures show that there is us much
danger and risk in Il short train as
in long one, and perhaps, more, rs
the number of passing trains would
be greatly augmented. The oppo-
nents of the bill contend that its
primal object is to force the roads
to employ more men in the train
service. The Norfolk and Western
has had to fight its way over and
through other things than earth
and stone, and it does appear to us
that so long as the great road stays
on its own track and attends to its
own business in fair, legitimate
manner, as it bass been doing, it
should be encouraged rather than
hinder ed. AS we see it now, we
hope Senator Royal and Represcn-
tativc Looney will vote against these
two bills, and carry sufficient num-
Der of others with them to defeat
both bills.

Col. James S. Browning, of Roam
oke and Abs Valley, has added the
following to his Progressive platform
Timothy, clover, potatoes,
blue grass, corn in moderate
acreage, fat cattle and fine
horse. We can lead the world
with these. Stick to the old flag
and let the new rags alone.'"
The Colonel advanced this plank
of his platform in communication
to the Clnch Valley News, and
what he says will appeal to all peo-
pie in the southwest as we'll worth
considering.
IL am willing to try anything"
says the Colonel, chat promises a
greater yield; but stop your speculat-
ing and give us figures. Who has
made bowling success of alfalfa in
Southwest Virginia? If the seed
bed for timothy and clover was pre-
pared with the same care as for al
falfa, the yield would be as great"
In recent years alfalfa has grown
immensely in favor among progress
sive farmers. Many beautiful and
successful fields of it are to be seen
in the Roanoke section, and if all
the reports we hear concerning it are
true, it is bound to have great fu-
ture. Colonel Browning probably
knows more about alfalfa and timo-
thy in one day than we know about
them in month, and his conclusions
relative to the southwest may be
entirely correct; but for the section
of Virginia which we are more famil-
lar, that is, from Roanoke to Tide
water, we have n notion that alfalfa
IS going to prove IL great and lasting
benefit.
We appreciate the fact that Colo
mel Browning is always ready to de-
fend his side of an argument and
that he knows how to marshal his
forces skillfully and effectively. We
have no doubt that he can bring fig
ures and statistics a mile long to
prove the soundness of his assertions.
Nevertheless hundreds of thousands
of Woodworking, hard thinking agri-
culturalists have found in alfalfa the
solution Of an anxious problem, and
other farmers, an army of them, per-
ceiving what has been done will 90
and do likewise. Alfalfa, in our judg-
ment, has come to stay. Itsluxuriant
green will adorn more and more the
hills and valleys of the Roanoke
country, and after while it will take |
the place of a multitude of old field
pine and broom sage in the east.
The Colonel can expatiate on the
merits and blessings of timothy and
clover and probably bring many to |
mis- way of thinking, and his cattle !
nay roll in fat, his horses glow like
piate-glass mirrors, and the old flag
may wave gIoriously and merrily
from Abbs Valley balconies, but al |
faifa will move steadily and surely |
20 its destiny, and in it's wake will
oe innumerable comfortable expe-
riences for those whom it befriends.
