ON THE JOB EARLY

The advance guard of what seem.

this sanctum in the shape of folde,
and two booklets, issued from The
Liberty League, we believe it is call.

is multiplying leagues wonderfully
This last is new one. The booklets

ductlons by men living outside the
state, will have little influence in
Virginia, for the reason, mainly, that
there is little in either of them that
is even interesting reading, and far

A MILLION EMIGRANTS.

The report for the fiscal year
shows that within twelve months
over million emigrants landed on
our shores most of them without
money still more of them unskilled
in any kind of labor. This is the
crowd that composes largely h e
'bread line" in the cities, and the
army of the unemployed" There is
work plenty and remunerativc, for
our own people, but, because there
is not place ready for every one
of the thousands who come to us
from foreign shores, partisan papers
and enimies of the administration at
tempt to lay the blame where it does
not belong.
A round million extra to feed three
times day, means something when
not mothers son of them is pro-
ducing a penny. 1t would seem to
be sensible thing to do to prohibit
the landing of Il single emigrant OF
our shores for at least two years
who has not Il two-year supply OF
money, or an offer of employment
before he starts from home. This
would give time to catch up, and
also give our own people work at
better wages. There is no sense in
inviting great crowd home to din.
ncr with you on Sunday when you
know you have barely enough fol
your own family. 1t would be con
sidered blamed fool thing to do
And this is the very thing that i.
encouraged by our immigration laws
Why don't somebody stop it?

for the church many who drift
upon the sea of life making ship
wrecks of their hopes and break
ing the hearts of those who are
interested in them.
Tempted, allured, sin stained
and weary there is today a null
titude of boys who need to have
broken to them the Bread of
Life. Who willbring them food ?
So small and scant, you say,
would be your Offering? True,
that may be, but the Christ who
blessed the lads few loaves and
fishes can use even the little
you have.
Earth's future glory and its hopes
and joys
Lie in the hearts and hands of grow
ing boys.
The world is theirs, to do with as
they will;
The world is theirs, for good results
or i'll.
We soon must give into their out
stretched hands
The mighty issues of our changing
lands.
In earth's large house they soon shall
take their place,
A menace or glory to the race.
Tremendous issues on Times TIRES

WHO'S WHO NOW?

Now that it is all over, what of il &?
We mean the high brow convention
of the Progressive Democratic league
held in Richmond. Well nothing
much that we can discover. No nev
principle was cnuncatcl. Pure cleo
tions, primaries, initiative. referem-
dunn and recall, and one or two minor
propositions were sha. not by lew
ex's; and even VITA two such emf
nent speakers as Nr. Bryan and
Senator Owen, the attendance mt the
meetings seems to have not been ur
to expectations.
AS to the platform adopted, all
of us have been right there all the
time, or nearly all the time or thought
we were, anyway. AS to the high.
sounding terms, initiative, refercn.
dunn and recall, we are seeking light.
1t is amazing how clear and trans
parent everything appears to some
Democrats, who are floating around
on a Reform" plank. How these
reformers glory in parading and
strutting before the public as pro.
gressives! It's wonderful They
are at liberty, but to swell up and
spout out that no one who doesn't
utter their particular, borrowed shib.
boleth, is not true Democrat-wel
that's enough to make any man tired
The initiative, referendum and recall
commends itself to this scribe, from
the fact that President Wilson and
Mr.. Bryan endorse and urge the
adoption. We hope to understand i;
later on and be able to incorporat,
1t heartily into our political creed
but for the present we are seeking
the light.

LESS DYSPEPSIA NOW
HERE'S THE REASON

The fact that there is less dyspep-
STA and indigestion in this community
than there used TO b, is largely, we
believe, due to the extensive use of

Of packages of which we have sold,
No wonder we have faith in them.
No wonder we are willing to offer
them to you for trial entirely at cur
risk.
Among other things they contain
Pepsin and Bismuth, two of the
greatest digestive aids known TO med
ical science. They sooshe the in

The Way to Paint a Barroom

The Way to Paint n Barroom.
II l had the decorating of a bar
room, it should be done in this wav:
On one side of the room / would paint
Death on the Pale Horse, his arm
controlling the thunder bolt, the frey
hoofs of his flying steed treading
down everything fair and lovely; the
Garden of Eden before him, black
ened waste behind. On the other
side, | would draw the picture of a
wretched cottage, once "A happy home,
the roof broken in, the window stuff
ed with rags and in the doorway the
weeping wife with ragged children
cllnging to her skirts, piteously be-
seeching her~for bread. In the dis
lance should be seen the once happv
husband and father, now reelinp
irunkard on his way to the hut he
,alls his home.
Back OF the bar, in full view of the
oloated creatures that stand with the
cup to their lips, would paint COM
pany of demons, in the death dance
OF iendish gayety around the fire kim
died with the flames of alcohol. and
over it would write, in lurid let
ters, the words: "Moderate Drink
ing Lights the Flames that Burns to
the Lowest He'll"
Opposite the bar should be Lonely
Dishonored Grave; lightning blast
ed tree spreads its leafless branches
over it; and on some withered branch
IS perched the melancholy owl, boot
ng to the wintry moon. At the
foot of the grave kncels the Angel of
Mercy, with hands and eyes appraised
20 the plying heavens; and at the
head of the grave is the Angel of
Justice carving with stern and re-
.entless hands upon the tombstone
these terrible words of doom: "No
drunkard shall ever inherit the
Kingdom of God"
In the intervening spaces should
be, here broken heart, and there
4 shattered hour-glass, stranded
boat, torch extinguished in the
darkness; while over the doorway and
from the ceiling should look down all |
kinds of woeful, human faces; pale,
impioring, wrathful, deadly and de-
spairing.
The walls Of the room should be
shrouded in sack cloth, and the floor
covered with ashes, the bar wreathed
in weeping willows and cypress while
all the vessels that held the poison
'us fluid, should be black-black as
The very gates of hell. Then should
