DOCTORS AGAINST ALCOHOL.

At the annual meeting of the Amer
lean Osteopathic association, held at
Philadelphia, the following anti-alco-
hol resolution was passed:
in view of the undoubted and ter
ribly destructive effects of alcohol
and the very doubtful and slight ad-
vantage to be obtained from its use,
we hereby unequivocally and uncon-
ditionally condemn it's use and place
ourselves upon record as pronouncing
It one of the greatest curses of the
age, a detriment to human well-being
and a disgrace to our civilization"
DR.. S. P. Ross. who offered the reso-
luton, said he considered its adoption
to be one of the most advanced steps
he Osteopathic association has ever
taken. I'VE are now definitely lined
up," he said, with the forces of mod
ernity and progress and against the
source of graft and vice"

Avoid Late Hours.

Late hours give a drawn look to
the face, an unmistakable sign of loss
of sleep. You will meet plenty of
people who declare that they need but
little sleep, but you will find nobody
who has not been benefited by a
change in early retiring hours. Even
when sleep does not come readily, the
relaxed position of the body and the
darkness are restful to brain and
body. Men and women of ancient
times used to spend a deal of time in
reclining, for touches, not chairs,
were the chief furnishings Of homes.
We of the present generation sit in
straight chairs until the strain shows
in the face. the lines that should not
be found in any but faces of the aged.

PROGRESS IN KANSAS.

PROGRESS IN KANSAS.
The geography of years ago, says
Gov. George H. Hodges, pictured Kan
sas as part of the Great American
desert. Hardly desert now, with
34,OO0,0OO acres in cultivation. Very
little indulgence in Kansas. with an
average of 1892 on deposit in our
banks for every person In the state
Our citizens pay taxes on 81 ,76b each,
little over 500 more than they paid
a year ago, even though this was
the worst drought season in our
| history Our agriculturiBta use the
best for their own tables. and u
plentiful supply at that, but after
using all the butter, eggs and poultry
they needed, they scld $4,000, 600
worth of butter, eggs and poultry last
year. Just little revenue Of $1,000
600 more than this government paid
for about third of the total acre
age of these United States, the Louisl-
ana purchase. We own one automo-
bile for every As persons In Kansas,
but we hope to do a little better next
year, for our farmers are now stand
ing around waiting for the mayor and
county commissioners to sign mu-
nlcipal improvement bonds, and bonds
issued for the building of permanent
highways that they are endeavoring
to buy at about ten per cent above
par. A great many of our farmers are
complaining because they can't pay
off their mortgage until it becomes
due, though they have decreased their
recorded Indebtedness from 55 per
cent to As per cent in the past 10
years. At the same time they have
boosted the home-owned securities
from $13000,000 to $67000,000.
Every year our state creates new
wealth; last year wealth of $4,000
900 day was the record. We spent
$13,500,000 last year to run 415,OOO
schools; that kept $4,000 teachers
busy for about nine months. The
salaries of the men teachers in our
public schools have increased from
$44 to 5000 month in the past ten
years, while the salary of the women
teachers has doubled. All of the weak
school districts have state aid, and we
have no schools which have less than
seven-month term. We have an en-
dowment fund for the common
schools of $9,250,0O0. With a popula-
ton of 100000 we had an enroll
ment of $500 students in our state
universities, and $500 in our denomi-
national schools. Six thousand stu
dents attended our state university
and agricultural college last year.
This is a remarkable showing when
compared with Missouri, which has
100000 population and only 3,317
students in her university and agri-
cultural college. Indiana, with about
the same population, has 1861 stu
dents in her combined schools.

COURT TEMPERANCE LECTURE.

People do not have to attend church
nowadays in order to hear temperance
sermons. 1t is becoming popular for
the Judge from the bench to deliver
discourses upon the evils of the drink
habit. Justice Otto Won Deter, Of
Stockton, Cal, very recently spoke
pointedly to the dozen men and one
woman who appeared before him
pleading guilty to intoxication. 1.-THE
saloons" said the Judge, turn drunk
ards out into the streets faster than
we can handle them in court. The
people and the government license
the saloons that put you in the gut
tiers. The hard working man, paying
off a heavy mortgage on his little
home, must pay taxes to keep you
drunkards In the hospital and care
for you"

SOFT CORN THIS YEAR.

Reports from twelve corn belt sta
ties Indicate that unless the fall sea
son is favorable, and frost come not
earlier than the middle of October
or thereabouts, there will be Il lot of
immature corn harvested this fall.
Corn is generally late everywhere in
the west and northwest, due to an
excessive amount of rain fall in the
spring and during the summer. de-
laying planting and also cultivation.
The farmers in that section are urged
to save last years corn for seed, where
possible. In the South corn has al
ready about maturcd. In Tazewell and
adjoining counties there is much late
corn. Thee prospects now are, how
ever, favorable to maturity of corn.
Unless frost comes within the next
week or two, the crop will be safe.

COUNTY POLITICS AND POLITI
CAL PARTIES.

In another column we publish the
Bluefield Telegraph's editorial. "Nei.
ther Bond Nor Free" and have this ia
say in general way in reply: Read.
ers of the Clinch Valley News will
bear out the truth of this statement
that we have repeatedly declared in
favor of and advocated Il comparison
management of couiay affairs. Parti-
san politics should not control in
county affairs. The people, and not
the party, should come together and
choose their public servants from the
ranks of their best men. Brother
Shot will not give us credit for sin
certify here. He states that "thc mo-
tive of the Clinch Valley News" is
influenced by the fact that a straight
Republican ticket is bound to win if
nominated, and hence our policy. 1t
is trus so far as the election of =
ticket goes. But we take no offense
at The Telegraph's insinuation of in
sincerity. It's a way politicians have.
Some men question every mans mo-
tlves except their own. Notwithstand-
ing, we repeat with emphasis. we
favor strictly non-partisan policy
IN the management of county affairs.
The voters of the county should. bv
primary or other feasible plan, choose
their very best men, irrespective of
party aiilllatlonS, to manage their
affairs, and elect no man to Office
simply because he is ii Democrat or
Republican. Only i'm this way is il
possible to get the best men. We did
this when the bond issue was before
the people. We united all forces in
the Statewide campaign. The results
are well known. Why cannot there be
union and harmony on all issues A
strictly party policy favors the party
candidate, no matter who or what
ne is or favors. If the party endorse"
nm that onds it. He goes into Office
with the approval perhaps of only a
small majority of the people. Tazewell
county has ben under Republican,. par
tsan management for years and wears.
Republicans have, with one or two
exceptions, held the county Offices and
lived and grown fat out of the county
treasury, for years and years. How
well or ill the affairs were mannpcd
Is known to all the people. But it
VIII be recalled that whatever of
public Improvement has been accom-
plished in schools, agriculture, road
building, etc, has been done not bv
TINS party who had control, but by
the union of the best of both parties.
"for the good of the people" should
he the slogan, and not "The success
OF my party" There would then he no
necessity for any man to Garry WA
ter on both shoulders" 1t would he
impossible. All the great wars. panics
and expressions have grown out of
and are the natural product of. am
bilious, partisan politicians.
