Under Two Flags.

There is battle being waged in
Virginia today. The right to sell liq-
lor in the open saloon has brought
on the contest. On the one side,
lag, representing the "sale of whis-
key in the open saloon," spurs on it's
soldiers in the fight. Under this Gag
all the manufacturers of liquors are
arrayed; all the wholesale, and al of
the retail liquor dealers are there.
Nearly all of the owners of property
in which the drink is being sold are
gloriously standing in the rear.
Under this flag is great company
of men who do not want to deny
themselves the liberty of taking
drink when they feel like it." Under
this flag there is another company
composed of men who are moral, who
try to do their duty before God and
man, but who have not yetloolsed up
at the flag under which they are
fighting, nor at their fellow soldiers
on either side. Nor have they yet
seen the leaders in the fight.
All the "dives" and immoral forces
of the state are behind this army.
urging on the fight.
There is another battle -line-an-
other flag. 1t is the flag of THE
PRINCE OF PEACE! Uuder this
flag are all the ministers of every de-
nomination, and all who are unset
fishly giving their lives in the effort
to uplift the race. Under this flag you
will find 80 per cent. of the business
men, farmers and corporations of the
state. There is a great company of
laboring men there. There is another
company of men, weak in will power
it is true, who are asking the voters
of Virginia to remove this temptation
from their path.
There is another company here,-
the Mothers of Virginia-those who
have given birth to her sons and dau-
ghters. They are all there. And be-
hind this army, in reserve, are all of
those upon whom the burden ofthis
fight and the responsibility of church
and state must fall in the years to
come-the children of the state, born
and unborn.
Between these two contending for
ces there is small company of men
who refuse to help on eitherside.
Gentlemen, have you taken good
look at these two flags and these two
armies?
Under which flag are YOU?

QUESTION:: If prohibition does not
prohibit why are all the liquor men
fighting it? Perhaps in their unset
fish generosity they are unwilling to
have the state deprived of the liquor
tax.
Mr.. Ben P. Owen, who is busying
himself mailing out Mr.. Cabell's
speeches and other literature of the
"Buckner Palmer Side Show" as
Capt. Tynes calls the big League, is
hearing from his work from all points
of the compass. We publish Capt.
Tynes' reply, and have another, from
citizen down the Clinch Valley
which we regret we cannot get into
shape for publication. The city of
Richmond and it's wet newspapers
and Mr.. Owen and the rest will find
that the country people have some
sense, and refuse to be dictated to.

who thought to ply their trade behind
the subterfuge of local self-govcrn-
ment,' but who later considered them
selves fortunate to escape imprison-
ment by confessing that they were
lawbreakers, and by paying fines and
leaving the state. Whiskey has caus-
ed more misery than betting on horse
races. Why put one under the control
of the Commonwealth and the other
under the control of the city? Why
make fish OF one fowl and fowl of the
other?
again, every informed person
knows that local government with the
municipality as the unit is the New
England and not the Southern plan.
In the six New England states the
township gathered around the church
as the centre. The Local Self Gov
ernment League adopts the original
New England idea, except that their
argument substitutes the saloon for
the church. A larger unit of local
government has, from the beginning,
prevailed in the Southern States. The
highest authority upon the American
Commonwealth says: While a New
England state is u combination of
towns, a Southern State is from the
first an administrative, as we'll as

~
foremost in developing this Southern
idea, should express her opinion upon
the saloon, as n political whole

A CHURCH PAPER
OF NATIONAL SCOPE
Large Lutheran Magazine to be
Launched With a Strong Edi-
tOrial Staff.

Rev. DR.. Walter II. Greever, CO.
lumbia, S. c., stopped over few days
last week with relatives here and in
Burke's Garden, returning from Il
bushes trip to St. Paul and Chicago,
where he attended large meeting of
his church at st. Paul, and business
meeting of the editorial staff of his
magazine, which he has been work
ing on for some time. This magazine
venture is one of the largest and
most extensive yet attempted by the
Lutheran church, or perhaps any
other denomination in this country.
The publication is international, hav-
ing associate editors in different parts
of Europe, and number of the lead
ing literary and church men of this
country. The capital stock is $3.50,
600. The first meeting of the editor
ial staff was held in Chicags, as stat.
ed above. The magazine will be issu-
ed from the large publishing house in
Columbia, recently built and equipped
at large cost by Mr.. Greever. He is
to be congratulated, and his native
county and the state as well, has just
cause to be proud of him.

The Revival at the Baptist Church.

The revival services, conducted by
Evangelist, Rev. Geo. III. Wiley, of
Richmond, Notwithstanding torrid
weather, have been we'll attended. AT
several of the services every seat was
taken, and number of people COM
PEELED to stand during the service.
The pastors of the town and church
people generally, have attended ana
helped in the services, as far as seem
cd possible.
The excessively hot and dry wea-
thcr has rendered church going not
an easy job, and numbers of people
have preferred to rest in the cool at
their homes.
Mr.. Wiley is one of several field
workers employed by the Baptist
State Mission Board, and is a preach
or of wide experience and success in
the evangelistic field. He is n genial,
wholc-souled, plain Christian man.
AS preacher he is original, earnest
and spiritual. He has his own way
of stating truth, just little different
from any evangelist the town has
heard. He. believes. therefore he
speaks. He knows his Bible, and pre-,
sents the Gospel in a forceful, con-
vincing manner. His auditors are
compelled to believe what he says,
though they may not do what he asks
and advises. 1t has ben said that
Tazewell is Gospel hardened"
This all may be so, but no peo-
pie on earth are more respectful or
better listeners to the truth than
these same Tazewell people. Most of
us take too much of our religion out
in listening and thinking, and not
enough in acting and doing, says the
evangelist. And this, too, may be so.
There have been number of pro-
fessions of conversions already, .ind
much good has been accomplished.
The meetings are scheduled to close
next Sunday night. The schedule for
Sundays services will be found else

Saturday between the married men
and single men, in which the single
men were victorious.
In spite of the rough road across
Flat Top and Clinch Mountain, autos
travel it almost every week. 1t is re-
grettable that this road, or the one
leading up Poor Valley, via Tanners
vile, to Thompson Valley was not in
cluded in the bond issue. This would
have put Tazewell in direct touch
with the fine road that has been built
in Smythe county, from Broadford to
Saltville, and would give automobiles
the nearest route to Bristol via the
historic town of Saltville. This trip
could be made in comfort except for
this eight or ten miles. Some steps
should be taken by the voters to get
this road put in better condition.

SAYS USTRUD
WILL BE NAMED
L.. II. JONES OF HURON DECLARES
HE WILL BE PROGRESSIVE
PARTY CANDIDATE FOR
GOVERNOR.

Aberdeen, S. d.. III. Jones of
Huron, IL of the Progressive party>
leaders, was in Aberdeen Saturday
night, interviewing prospective men,
hers OF the proposed new party or
ganization here. Mr.. Jones states
Hans Ustrud would become the Pro-
gressive candidate for governor and
that another strong man, whose name
was not at liberty to mention,
would be the candidate for senator,
and that a strong state ticket would
be placed in the field at the meeting
at Mitchell on April IS. He stated
that Colonel Roosevelt would tour
the state, speaking in Aberdeen on
Tuesday, September Is, and that he
would be followed by a number of
other men OF national fame, including
Governor Hiram Johnson OF Cali
fornia.

ment would be satisfied if they

SlSSETON A N SWIss~
CHEESE MAKING COLONY

Sisseton, S. D.-There is a move
ment on foot by Sisseton business
men to bring about the location of Il
colony of Swiss cheese makers near
Sisseton. The movement originated in
a news item from Olympia, Wash,
telling of the location of such a col
ony<in hat state. Investigation
brought out the fact that conditions
in South Dakota are such that a col
ony would undoubtedly prosper here.
The land in the vicinity of S~isseton
produces a most luxuriant grass, and
it is cheap compared to lands in most
states, and cheap land and good grass
are essential in producing milk for
cheese making. Efforts will be
to induce the location of such a
colony near Sisseton, for it is believ-
that the colony would not only be
asset to this part of the state, but
that the methods used by the Swiss
immigrants in getting the most out OF
their land would furnish a good ex
ample from which South Dakota far
mers might profit.

URGES EQUAL
ASSESSMENTS
CHAIRMAN c. NJ. HENRY OF THE
STATE Tan COMMISSION,
SPEAKS TO COUNTY AS
SCISSORS,

That especial efforts shauld be
made this year to assess all property
ON an equal basis, irrespective of past
valuations, was the plea made before
the assessors of Dawson county and
the board of commissioners by G.. M.
Henry, of %Hedfield. chairman of the
state tax commission, at the court
house this afternoon.
Chairman Henry declared that in
many communities in years past there
had been just cause for complaint
over the inequalities in many of the
valuations. Farms adjoining, he stat
ed. OF practically the same value, had
shown wide discrepancies in assess
ment. III the county assessors and the
boards of equalization do their work
we'll, he said, it would be much cas-
Ter for the state commission to make
the final adjustment.
The office of County Auditor r. A.
langle was crowded this afternoon
when the meeting was called to order
shortly after 1 O'Clock. H. G. Pres
ton was the only other member of
the state commission present at the
meeting, the general purpose of
which was to outline the duties of the
assessors and the general schedule of
taxation in the state.
During the forenoon the board of
county commissioners convened for
their second regular quarterly meet
ing. The board voted TO order a pre-
liminary survey made of the proposed
county highway six miles long, start
ing az a point one-half mile north OF
h.han and running due west. The
survey will be made by Sid. H. Smith.
The commissioners probably will
be in session for several days.

BOY SCOUTS GIVE AN
EXAMPLE OF TRAINING

Rediield, S. D.-That the boy
scouts instill in it's members a re-
sourcefulness that proves valuable in
emergencies was shown when Dwight
Ewing. a 9-year-old boy who was out
with some older boys, members of the
boy scouts, fell into the river near
here, while trying to cross the stream
by leaping from rock to rock as the
older scouts had done. The boy scouts
Immediately rescued the lad, but he
was completely soaked and a cold
wind was blowing. They then remov-
cd all his clothing and wrapped him
in blankets while they dried his clio
thes at a campfire they built for the
purpose. AS a result OF the prompt ac-
of the scouts, the little fellow
emerged from the experience none
the worse.
