WHAT MIR. BRYAN SAYS.

but let us consider our dispute with
Germany. 1t involves not so much
interference with trade as destruc-
tion Of life. This raises 81 more Sc
rious question, but it must be remem-
bered that Germany's action, too, has
has not been taken out of hostility to
us, but it is founded on the belief
that her methods of warfare are ne
cessary for her own protection. We
do net agree with her; we believe that
the methods employed are cruel and
inhuman, and we have so stated, but is
there no remedy except war? Must
we insist upon war with nation that
does not want war with us? We can
offer some protection to our citizens
bypreventing their taking the risks
that those took who sailed on the
Lusitania. When we assert that an
American citizen has right to go
anywhere on the high seas, we cannot
mean that we intend to relieve him of
the exercise of ordinary care or that
he is at liberty to drag his country
into war by assuming Unnecessary
risks.
| "S 'tH|iiHciit VI Iic hheIicail peo-
pie would not support any such doc
trine. If the government can de-
mand of its citizens the surrender of
their lives to carry the nation through
war after it becomes involved in war
may ii not rightfully demand Of its
citizens that they shall so conduct
themselves as not to draw The coun-
try into war?If the mayor can keen
the people off the streets during riot,
cannot the federal government keep
the peopl out of III war zone wbil the
belligercnts are shooting at each 9th
er?"

TRUE lNWARDNESS.

Editor the Ncws:-It remained for
u Republican writing to Republi-
can newspaper, to disclose the "truc
inwardness" of the mobilization OF
"all the antis" and not Il few of the
Republicans mt the late socalled Dem
acratic mass meeting, while ninc-
tenths OF the old guard went fishing.
We have through n news items tax
en- from the Bluciicld Telegraph and
rcpublshcd by the Times, that the oc-
casion was seized ON to launch Il
Glass boom, and that it was Il victory
for the Glass forces, which accounts
for the defeat of II resolution against
e.ccting Office holders and candidates
on tne ncw committee, and which
uISl, be construed AS II reflection on a
.vr,-in gentleman who made mem
oiah'c race for u. $. Senator while
holding ON" To u "vncant" seat i'm
Congress. In the light of the evil
dcnt.y inspired article referred To the
seventy seven who voted for him on
TINT occasion want him to run again,
and wont advise him To give up Il bird
in hand for II bigger bird in the bush.
This is the only possible reason
why they could have voted down II
resolution which embodied the very
qulntcssencc Of Democratic doctrine
and which was offered us explained at
the time, "to determine" how many
participants in Democratic meeting
were opposed to II cardinal principle
OF the Democratic party.
While we are proud of Mr.. Glass
record in Congress-, there are many of
us who cant forget that he, and Me
Adoo, robbed the ninth district of the
two federal Offices which belonged to
1t by nll the rules of war and politics,
and by reason of his undoubted pull,
secured the appointment to the more
intimate Federal Office holders of many
officials obnoxious to IL majority of
the Democrats affected by such posi-
tions.
p. S.-Many of us who hnvn't
heard the matter mentioned would
like TO know just what Mr.. c. il run
ming for. S.

Mrs. Chas. Harman was guest also.
She lives just across the hill. White
has only nine ohildren-six girls and
three boys. Three of the girls are
grown, and just as pretty as they
are good, and as good as they are
pretty.
Their mother went to church that
morning and left the girls to get din

is grand daughter of Joshua Brown,
the we'll known merchant of other
days in Salem. | remember MIN when

etourt, "where the sun forever
Shines" His store stood on the corn
era low, framed building. His son,
Garland, 1 believe, is Mrs. Whites
father. Mrs. Harman was Mrs.
Davis, of Bland county. She traces
her kinship back to the ditinguished
Lee family of Virginia. This COM
pany of good folks, including several
little fellows, gave me pleasant af-
ternoon, which shall not soon forget.
Speaking of Austin White, calls to
mind his grandfather, Rev. Samuel
Austin, who spent long life in the
ministry in this county, where he
married Miss Harman, and also in
adjoining counties and in West Vir-
ginia. He died about eight years ago
at his home, since destroyed by fire,
near Five Oaks. Mr.. Austin was Il
very remarkable man. | heard him

Tazewell, and l still retain recollec-

He was methodical, logical, and earn

He lacked only little something of

preachers. By education and other
qualifications he should have occupied

why Ic ltillcu W IciiCn SUCH IL goal

his life riding over the mountains OF

tian church.

JEALOUSY CAUSES
SHOOTING AFFAIR
Husband Finds Wife Sitting by
Another Man on Clinch Valley
Train and Trouble Starts.
Young Girl is Shot Dead.

On Sunday morning thrilling scene
was enacted on Clinch Valley passcn-
ger train No. ~ just after il left Ia
coma on it's journey east, according
to dispatch form Cocburn in the
daily papers Tuesday. As q rNss.,
nineteen year old girl lies dead .
the hands of her brolher and n man
has two pistol bullet hoes in him
and another is in Jail facing Il murder
charge.
1t seems that the trouble starto!
over II frivolous wife and Jealous
husband. Will Allen his wife and one
child and sister live ut Wise. On
Sunday morning Mrs. Allen, accom-
panied by Miss Ollie Allen, boarded
the train from some point on the Car
olina, Clinchfield and Ohio railway, il
is thought, TO attend picnic nt Elk
horn city, Ky, as an excursion was
beng run to that place, the passen-
gers picked up by The Clinch Valley
changing cars at st. Paul.
When the woman boarded the train
they did not notice that the husband.
and brother, Will Allen, had also got
ten on. He hid himself so that they
would not know of his presence.
When the train reached Tacoma, Il
young man, Lee Smith, boarded il
and joined Mrs. Allen and Miss Allen,
who were sitting together in seat i'm
the first class coach about five seats
from the smoking box in the front end
of the car. The girl got up and al
lowed Smith 20 take seat by Mrs.
Allen. Just as the train was pullinr
out of the station, and before il was
under way, Allen came in from the
smoking cal and stood facing the pas.
sengers in the first class coach. His
eyes rested on his wife and Smith u
moment and Smith jumped up and
started to run to the back of the train
and Allen whipped out gun from
his pocket and without saying word,
began to shoot, firing two shots. Il.
II. Lusk, brakeman On the train, who
had come into the ear just behind Al
zen caught him huL could not prevent
him from firing two more shots. AL
len is then reported To have said to
his wife: "You are the cause of this
and | am going to ill YOU" and be-
fore he had gone further I.usk had
thrown him down between the seats
opposite to the one occupied by Mrs.
Allen, where, with the aid Of pas
senger, the pistol was wrcstcd from
Allen.
1t was found when the excitement
had somewhat subsidized that Smith
had been shot twice and that Miss AL
len had also been shot. Smiths
wounds, are not regarded MS serious,
while Miss Allen died several hours
later at Il hospital, where both were
taken Immediately after the train got
TO Coeburn.
There was the greatest commotion
among the passengers while the shoot
IGN was going on, most of them crawl
ing under the seats and yelling and
screaming. In the back of the seat
and in the side of the car there were
bullet holes.
1t is said that Allen had several
times told Smith to cease his attcn-
tions to Mrs. Allen and had recently
told him if he ever saw them together
again he would kill them both.
Allen was placed under arrest by
Brakeman Lusk and turned over to
officers at Coeburn. who took him TO
Jail at Wise.

The man who buys through Wall street broker pay his toll or comm!s- sion, and, porchance, he sells on the

 another toll or commission, and the
 banker or the broker wins on both

 nl The same condition applies to the south in cotton.
