internal remedies. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, and acts di-
rectly upon the blood and mucous
surface. Halls Catarrh Cure is not a
quack medicine. It was prescribed by
one of the best physicians in this

Holmes Conrad.

In the death of Major Conrad
the bar of Virginia has suffered
the loss of its ablest counsellor,
and the country one of its really
great men.
Caring little for the applause
of the multitude, he fought for
the right as God gave him to see
it, whether in the ranks of the
Confederate army or afterwards
as Rosser's right arm, whether
defending, without fee, some
trouble laden old soldier of the
Lost Cause or in pleading be-
fore the Supreme Court of the
United States in some of the
most momentous cases in the
nations history.
Those who were fortunate
enough to have known him in the
intimacy Of his private life, as
we'll as those who followed his
career with admiration of his
splendid mentality and rugged
strength of character know that
"a great oak Of the forest is
fallen''

Wise Boys.

The oily tongued stranger goes after
the granger, and sells him newfangled
churn; and we in the city exclaim,
what pity the farmer no wisdom
will learn! He surely is easy; no graft
is too cheesey to spring on the tiller of
soil: the agents pursue him, horn
swoggle and do him, and then Gamble
off with the spoil. = And we in the
city, SO learned and so witty, SO wise
to all manner of snares, invest in some
bubble that's loaded with trouble, or
purchase a few Belgian hares. We
deal with some faker who sells by the
acrea swamp that's hopelessly drowned,
or buy with good money mine that is
funny, that's naught but hole in the
ground. We fall for the charmer-
turned down by the farmer who sells
us punk lot of books; for quick riches
questing, we're always investing in
pipe dreams and moonshine and spooka.
Oh, lumty-tum looral, the rubes who are
rural are smarter than rubes in the
town; the small gratis may get them,
and jolt them and fret them. the big
ones they always turn down. We shy
at the small ones and fall for the tail
ones, and blow in our bundles ut once,
the farm rube's the sharpest or I'm
not 4 harpist the town rube's the
champion Ounce. = WALT MASON.

The Pythians.

This years gathering of the knights
at historic Charles Town was very
largely attended. Long noted for its
superb hospitality the charming little
city of the Eastern Panhandle fairly
outdid itself. Every residence was
thrown open for reception of the guests
and every thing possible was done for
the pleasure and comfort of the visit
ors.
On Wednesday night men and women
of the town rendered their guests q
thoroughly delightful and unique recep-
ton and banquet. The affair was
staged in the open air. Long tables
were spread in one of the public parks
and the bonteous good cheer of the
Shenandoah Valley was never more in
evidence. The scene was like fairy
land. Under the arches of the wide
spreading trees brilliantly lighted with
electric lamps, every guest was receiv-
ed and honored, as true Knights should
be. Last night the encampment closed
with an elaborate parade. eclipsing, in
size and brilliancy the one held in this
city last year, airmont Times.

Charles Town, w. Va.
Dear Sir The conditions are SO de-
plorable at the B. & @. and N, & W.
railroad stations at Shenandoah juno
ton with regard to the accommodation
provided for travellers in failing to pro.
vide suitable water-closets that | feel
something should be done to require
the two railroad companies to comply
with requirments of our State Laws on
this subject.
As ! understood it the laws require
the railroads of West Virginia to pro-
vide suitable water-closets at all their
stations for the accommodation of
travellers and failing to do SO the COM
panies are liable to Indictment and fine
for each day they fail or neglect to
provide suitable water-closets, and
do not believe that any grand jury of
Jefferson County would say that the
small closets maintained by these two
railroads located long distance from
the station used in common by them
would be considered suitable water
closet, taking into consideration the
hundreds and thousands of travellers
who are required annually to
wait at this station for trains going
north. south, east and west.
The power to correct this wrong lies
with the people of Jefferson County,
and they can correct the wrong by in
dictment or by application TO the Public
Service Commission, and it is no hard
ship on the companies to require them
to live up to the requirements of our
State laws.
Very respectfully yours,

What One Woman is Doing.

Mary Fels, who Is visitor In ST.
Paul and Minneapolis this week, is one
81 America g notable women.
Mistress of a great fortune, a cultur-
ed cosmopolitan, at home in the high
circles of every city in Europe, she
has dedicated her life to the contiI.-
uation of the work to her late husband,
Joseph Fels.
She manages the great wealth which
he left, participates in the running of
his huge business affairs and devotes a
fortune each year to systematic war
fare against poverty.
She does not combat poverty with
aims. She believes that privilege is
the perpetual parent Of poverty
So she spreads the gospel of the
single tax. The single tax is no
abstruse or vague theory. It is simple
and understandable. It is practical be-
cause it is in practice in many places
in the world. Where it is in practice it
has worked good. and no evil.
In word, all that the single tax
teaches is that if a given person is tc
assert the ownership or possession to
any piece of land, he must use that
land.
Under our present plan of taxation
we do the opposite If two farmers
own adjoining farms and one improves
his place with buildings. fences and
drains, and equips it with live stock
and machinery, his taxes are promptly
increased he is fined for being indus
trious and useful.
If the other but half tills his farm.
robs the soil, let's the buildings go to
rum and produces quarter of thecrops
Of his thrifty neighbor, his taxes are
reduced He is rewarded for his shift
lessness.
If man owns lot 10 the city and he
improves it with fine Office building
he is promptly taxed on the building.
II he occupies the lot with tumble
down tenement his taxes are small-he
is rewarded out Of the public treasury
at the expense of his progressive neigh
bors.
If man owns his home and he fur
nishes it well, keeps it in repair and by
his labor adds to it's value, he is fined
in terms of tax for every carpet and
curtain, for each piano or picture, while
the owner of the vacant lot next door
is rewarded by low taxes.
Thus progress is taxed and poverty
results.
The cities grow up sprawling and
ragged, disfgured by vacent lots held
for speculation, and people are forced
far into the suburbs.
Thus farms are forced into tenant
occupation instead of owners occupa-
ton.
Mrs. Fels and thuse who believe with
her would reverse the process. They
would tax nothing that is made by man.
They would lay no money fine on indus
try of hand or brain. They would tax
only natural resources land. The
cities where single tax lot is valued
higher than whole section of farm
land would pay an equivalent at their
unusually advantageous location.
The single tax idea is alive all over
the world. Within the year it has been
sumitted more or less concreteIy to peo-
pie in five cities and two states of the
United States. Over 500, 900 people
voted for it. st. Paul Daily News.

Last week. Commonwealth s
Attorney George D. Moore re-
piled to our recent commentary
on his position on the German
Diplomatic notes and to Mr..
Green's article on the same
subject.
The caption of Mr.. Moore
article is unintentionally mislead-
ing when it proclaims that Mr..
Moore ''upholds the President"
leaving the impression that we
have not done so, when the facts
are exactly the reverse
We upheld President Wilson S
notes which Mr.. Moore critized as
brusque" and are confident that
the very "brusqueness" he OBJ
jects to had the effect of bringing
Germany to terms and maintain
ing peace between tile two nations
when the polite diplomatic ex-
pressions' advocated by Mr..
Moore, had only produced the
effect of leaving German diplo-
mats under the impression that
we were a nation of mollycoddles
who could be treated with any
sort of indignity and with per-
feet IMMUNITY.
We did favor a severance of
diplomatic relations if Germany
persisted in her career of piracy
and murder of American citizens
and we do yet, if there is any
repetition Of the crimes Germany
has agreed to forswear from now
on.
Mr.. Moore says he fayored
arbitration.
Crime can't be arbitrated and
this case was settled without
arbitration. ssss..,
Just SO long as we addressed
the German Government in the
usual terms of polite diplomatic
usage of chiva1rous nations. Sc
long did it continue its contemp.
tuous disregard Of the rights OF
American citizens.
But when, failing to achieve
results by such courteous methods
we adopted a more brusque
policy in our interchange of notes
then Berlin decided to come
down. it we wouldn't shoot, and
not until then.
We have stood with President
Wilson from his inauguration
(and long before for that natter
and have not yet criticized any
Of his official acts in this time Of
almost world wide war.
It may be unfolding the Presi.
dent to criticize the Mexican
policy of the Administration, but
we deem it a queer kind of sup
port
It was said, and by a Republic
can, year or more age
that many people consider
PresidentWilso S Mexican policy
bad. Also that any other would
probably be much worse"
We prefer to sustain rather
than to criticize the Nations
Chief Executive.
If peacab1e solution of the
German controversy has beer
reached, it has been, not because
of MI. Moore's u1tra-pacifc policy,
but in spite of it.
