BRIT"

After heated compaign i'm which

such utter confusion that party lines

Ganization exploded or ran amuck,
the recent county election settled but
one matter definitely, viz: the place
held by Peery Brittian in the affections
and confidence of the people of Taze-
well. On the eve of election some of
our most astute political prophets said
that if elected at all it would be by
"the skin of his teeth" and at midaf-
ternoon on election day these same
prophets went on record that he would
be defeated by n majority of two hun
drcd or more.
The official count gives him a ma
jority of nine hundred and fvel

versal popularity and vote gettig
qualities of his opponent and the
clean, untiring campaign that he wag-
ed; take into consideration the alien

the unfortunate faux pas the ninth
hour, and then take off your hat to
"Brit."
His election by an overwhelming
majority was, perhaps, the most re-
markable tangible compliment ever
paid to citizen of this county;
marks him as a man of extraordinary
worth and influence, as tres surcr of
our citizenship, as we'll as the "best
county treasurer in the state"
1t would be rather uncomplimentary
to the intelligence of the people to go
into an analysis of the elements of
"Brit's" popularity. Every voter in
the county knows him rs we'll as he
knows the family horse; and every
10y l.nows the same "Brit." Per-
haps that tells the story. He bears
about the same relation to n snob as
Il peace propagandist to Preston's dog.
He wouldn't know "the insolerce of
condcscension" if he met it in the big
road. He has not walked with kings
but he has the common touch in an
uncommon degree and is touched
three hundred and sixty-fve days in
the year.
Shake hands with "Brit."

TOTE FAIR.

(From the Evening Journal.)
Now, that our state, Legislative and
local elections are over, it is good
time to think little or our primary
election and party obligations. The
good citizen needs to be reminded
about these every three of four years,
his tendency being to lapse into lax
habits of thought.

DEMOCRATIC FREEDOM.

From Tuesdays election for the
office of Commonwealth Attorney,
whether the result be approved or
disapproved, energies one obvious and
Illuminating fact. 1t is that the poop
pie of Richmond no longer can be
controlled by considerations of polit-
zeal regularity on strictly local is
sue. They think for themselves and
decide for thcmslves.-Timcs Dis
patch.
What the Times Dispatch says of
Richmond people can well be said of
people in other sections of the state,
and perhaps of the entire country.
The results Of last weeks election in
Tazcwell and other localities clearly
show that the voter is becoming his
own master. He no longer wears a
collar to which one end of Il chain is
attached; the other end in the hand
of some political boss dragging the vot-
er whithersoever he wills. As this
paper tried to say a few weeks ago.
this is the day of political freedom.
Freedom is never won except through
and by revolution, and revolutions may
be and often are extreme if not de
structive. Too much freedom-frce-
dom unrestricted and misguided, is
form of slavery and borders on an
archy. May it not be true, that
Democrats are just bit too free with
this thing called freedom? II is easy
to go to extremes.
We think the Democrats in this sec
ton ut least, went to extremes on
November 2nd in the exercise Of what
they chose to designate as political in
dependence. In the exercise of the
privilege to "votc for whom please"
party obligations were entirely ignor-
cd, in the case of one candidate ut
least, Mr.. j. w. Chapman. Mr.. Chap
man was the approved nominee of
convention of Democrats, and the
Democrats in farewell ignored the
obligation to stand by the regular
nominee of their own choosing. In
the case of county officers it was diff
fcrcnt. No one of these were nomi-
mated of endorsed by either party.
In nc case of the candidate for
State Office it was different. 1t Is
tie principle of the thing comtcnded
for hc"e. No patty can carry out
its policies without Il majority in the
halls of the legislature. If Demo
cratic mass meetings and nominat-
ing conventions are not TO dcgener-
ate into Il farce then the obliga-
tons 10 support the nominees of
such l@ccting must be appreciated
,al adhered to. Personal honor
and party honor arc inseparablc The
article in another column, from the
Richmond Evening Journal, under
the caption Tote Fair" is timely. 1t
is commended to the readers Of this
paper.

Grand Duke Retires
To Other Positions
To Await Assault

LONDON, July 22-There are no signs
yet that the Grand Duke Nicholas Is
ready to make a stand: he Is content
rather with retiring with his troops In
good order. Similar tactics have pre-
vailed around Warsaw. To the north
and east Of the town the Germans have
driven the Russians back on the Narew
and have begun the bombardment OF
Rozan, fortress Of the first class. and
on Novo Georgievsk. the principal forti-
flcation defending Warsaw at the juno
ton Of the rivers. There has been no
advance by way Of Blonie. so far as re-
ports tell. nor to the south from Grojec.
The advance from further south to-
ward Brest-Litovsk. on the Cholm-
l.ubin railroad. gives the only ray or
light for Russia.
General Won Mackensen Is not ad-
way communications as It was thought
he would. The Berlin officials state
ment reports that the Russians have
reintrenched themselves In front OF the
German army.
Other forces Of the Germans have cut
the Radon Ivangorod line and are at
tacking the brdgehead defending the
latter town. but the line appears to be
holding between Cholm, and Lublin.
Dispatches telling of the flight OF In
habitants said the archives OF the CAPT.
tai have been removed. 1t is also stated
that the records OF Riga are being
taken away to safe place.
Tho Grand Duke Nicholas. who is IN
Moscow. according to a Petrograd dis-
patch. expressed himself to a delega-
ton from the municipality as confident
that ultimately the Russian arms would
be victorious.
Emperor Nicholas has gone to the
front in Poland. it Is announced. The
departure OF the czar at this time Ia be-
lfeved to indicate that the Russian gen.
eral stan regards the conflict now be-
ing wased as the climax Of the cam
paign.
Previous visits Of the czar to the
front have been followed by sudden and
effective offensive movements. and the
military experts here look for new
and unexpected turn in the strife that
will upset the Germans efforts to cap
ture Warsaw.

MARKS LOSES PLEA
TO QUASH HIS CASE
Charged With Holding "void"
Saloon License, He Must
Stand Trial.

A motion hled by counsel for Harry
NJ. Marks. proprietor of Marks Hotel,
1000 f street northwest, charged with
a barroom in his esta blish-
ment under a "void" license. to auash
the information against the defend-
ant was overruled by Judge Pugh in
Police Court this afternoon.
Marks Is charged specifically with
conducting barroom "Under the
supposed authority OF a license from
the Excise Board of the District of
Columbia The information further
charges that the hotel in which the
barroum Is conducted has less than
nifty rooms. under the law the in
formation AYERS the sale Of liquor is
prohibited in a hotel Of less than
nifty bedrooms.
Refusing the request for a continue
ance asked by Attorney O'shea. for
the defendant, Judge Pngh set the
time for trial for next Tuesday.
Assistant Corporation Counsel F. II,
Stephens appeared for the District
while Attorney o'shea appeared for the
defendant with Alexander e. Bell ar.
rend on Of h the 'as court % Mr. oeSsfs oshea as
gued that the action Of the Excise
Board in granting a license to the de,
fendant to operate a bar room on the
hotel premises was final.
O'Shea declared that the board ir
granting the license granted It purely
as a bar room and restaurant rcense
thereby restricting the sale OF liquor
in the building to the bar room and
restaurant.
Counsel for the defendant claimed
that there was no hotel license ISSUED
to Marks by the Excise Board II.
declared the excise law drew distinc
tions between the issuance Of bar room
and restaurant licenses and hote
licenses. stating that in the opinion o
authorities the granting of hote
license by the board specifically entitled
the licensee to sell in any part Of hi
house.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Steph
ems argued that the "void' licens,
granted Marks afforded no protection
against criminal action to the defend
ant. He declared the Excise Boart
may be construed as a part Of tn,
municipal government. but that when 1
acts It does not act strictly in a mu
nicipal sense. but performs a Govern
ment function.

Palmer COnferS
With the President
Revives Rumor That He May Be.
come Counselor of State
Department

Speculation as to the successor Of
Secretary Of state Lansing as counselor
Of the State Department was revived
this afternoon when Former Congress
man A. Mitchell Palmer who has been
mentioned for the place. had confer
ence with the President.
Mr.. Palmer was named by President
Wilson last April as a member of the
Court Of Claims He has never been
sworn In and when questioned today re-
fused to say whether he would enter
upon the duties of the position. Re-
garding the report that he was a can
didate for counselor OF the State De-
partment. Mr.. Palmer merely smiled
and said that he knew nothing more
than what he had seen In the news
papers. He would not say whether he
would accept the position II offered to
him.
Mr. Palmer was defeated by Senator
Boise Penrose last fall in the Senatorial
campaign in Pennsylvania. Since that
time his friends have endeavored to
have him taken care of in a proinin-
ent position.
