THE BOYS GRAVE.

She wendell her way early the
pther morning to the cemetery, where
sleep the remains of her darling"
boy. The dew was on the grass and
still fresh on the flowers she carried
with which to bedeck his grave. Reg
ularly she had made this pilgrimage
since the day he was lain there,
years ago. The narrow path, wind
ing in and out among monuments
and gravestones was worn by the
press of her feet and the imprint of
her knees in the soldier "knseling
place" at the boys grave were clearly
visible as the seasons came and went.
Her tears rained on the quiet grave;
today the wound made by his going
was as fresh as the day she stood
by his bier and babe him farewell.
Like one Rachel of old, "she refused
to be coforted," because heb boy
was taken. There is pathos and deep
meaning in that word refused" She
did not wish to be "comfortcd" if
that meant to forget. The "sweet
sadness" and sorrow she chung to
and Rugged TO her bosom where once
her boys head had rested, and she
still felt the pressure of his head
there, and refused" to permit the
great healer-time-to erase it. He
was still her "boy," the loved one
lost yet not lost.
Tearfully she spread the flowers,
bent her head low in silent prayer,
pressed her mother lips to the cold
marble above his grave, and turned
her steps homeward. AS she turned
into the Main Street of the city mu-
sic from band fell upon hor ears
A company of volunteers were
marching to embark for the front
She stood and watched them with
eager eyes. Their youth, their state
ly bearing, their proud, regular step
impressed her deeply. Many of them
were just the age her boy would have
been had he lived. Some of them
were hisD chums and school mates
The band played MY Country, TITS
of Thee" "The Star Spangled Ban
ner," and "The Girl l Left Behind
Me" Tears ran down her cheeks
Great Jumps arose in the throats of
men which they quickly swallowed
but which arose quickly again. The
boys passed on, turned the corner
and were lost to view. The music
died away on the evening air, and still
she stood, sighed and wept. She was
thinking, was the mother, of the
mothers of those boys who wept at
home for the boy they had kissed
goodbye and she said in her heart,
"Oh, favored mother, weep not, dry
your tears. l wish | had my boy
back that | might give him to his
country. Then l should have hope of
seeing him again, but now, alas!
alas!"

SAVING A NATION.

1t is the history of all nations since
history was written that there comes
crises in the national life of all peo-
Piles when prompt action is Imperial
tive if destruction be averted. Some
peoples have taken such action and
lived, while others have slumbered
and died.
Grave as the consequences of our
present struggle are apt to be, the
American people, it can be seen more
clearly as time passes, are being saw
ell by 1T from an even greater danger
which threatened them--the danger
of over-prosperity and over-indulg-
ence.
Even now, since we have entered
upon the task of mobilizing Ameri-
can resources, the mind staggers at
the colossal values aggregated. Where
few years ago we whispered in awe
of millions, now we speak of billions
as glibly as a school girl prattles
of pin money.
This of itself would not have con-
stituted such a grave danger had not
our people formed their personal lives
on the same vast scale. From talking
in thousands to living in thousands is
an easy step. The same is true of
millions. AS our operations increased
and our national wealth piled up our
personal ideas enlarged apace, until
when we woke up last April to find
ourselves the probable deciding factor
in the greatest war of history, we
discovered ourselves living at a rate
that could have had but one possible
ending--national disaster. if not ma
tional death.
War is horrible. We shrink from
it and wish from the bottom of our
hearts that it could be banished from
the earth forever more. Yet in this
war the heroes who die for us on the
fields of France will confer a greater
blessing upon their country than
merely preserving its honor, as the
world sees honor. They will have
saved us from national moral decay
and death. For the domestic revolu-
ton, without which our part in the
conflict can not be carried out, is the
upheaval that was needed to take our
feet out of the road to death and set
them on the road to a broaded and
saner life.

THE BONE-DRY BILL.

The food, carrying the prohibition
amendment, has been passed by both
houses of Congress. The bill, given
elsewhere in this paper, forbids the
manufacture, import and sale of liq-
uors for the period of the war, wine
and beer excepted. AS in the state
wide fight we had last year, COM
promise was necessary in order to
get the food bill passed However,
the fight against beer and wine will
be kept up, and fought to finish. BY
the prohibition bill as passed, mil
lions of bushels of grain will he saved
for food, which heretofore has gone
into the manufacture of liquor. 1t is
regretted that beer and wine were
not included in the bill. Millions more
bushels of grain would have been
saved for food. Some industries
must be sacrificed to war, and why
not the liquor business?
1t appears now, according to Tues
days dispatches, that the food bill
is all "up in the air" again, and of
course the prohibition bill "goes up"
with it. The public were led to be-
lieve that the whole matter was set
tied. The liquor people and their
friends in the United States Senate
who are hindering matters, are good
friends evidently of the Kaiser.

MARTIN WILLIAMS OUT.
Business Interests Compel Him
to Withdraw from Race for
ATTORNEY General.

Nh.y u.
Editor Roanoke Times,
Roanoke, Va.
Dear Sir:
Very recent personal affairs and
business connections present an I'M
expected condition that would make
the sacrifice too great for myself and
family were / to give the time and
expense necessary to make two can
vases of the State for the office of
lieutenant governor. Therefore, am
reluctantly forced to the belief that
should withdraw from the race.
In the person of my opponent, Hon.
B. +. Buchanan, the State will have
n lieutenant governor worthy Of its
great history.
To my many friends in every sec
ton of the State who have so loyalty
stood by me ! desire to express my
sincere thanks.
In my partial canvass of Virginia
/ have been brought in contact with
thousands of people in almost every
walk of life. My admiration and love
for these people, with a few excep-
tons, has been greatly enlarged, and
| shall ever look upon this assoicia-
ton with happy memories.
Respectfully,
MARTIN WILLIAMS.

ALL CLAIMING VICTORY.
Each Candidate For Governor
Confident of Election in the
August Primary.
(Richmond Times Dispatch.l


With the Democratic primary less
than thirty days away, the three
gubernatorial candidates are each
claiming substantial majorities, and
if you don't believe this call at Ellv-
son headquarters, Davis headouar-
ters or Pollard headquarters and re-
celve figures to prove it.
AS the campaign draws into its
tnal lap the followers of each aspi-
rant for the governorship are exert
ing greater energy to put over their
favorite. Richmond promises to be
the storm center of the days Just be-
fore the close of the Statewide spell
binding.
1t had been planned to hold a Da-
Wis meeting in this city some time
this week, but, owing to the fact that
Westmoreland Davis is scheduled to
speak at various points each day for
the next seven, the idea of staging a
big pow-wow here for him within
the next few days has been given
up. 1t was announced from his head
quarters last night that the Davis
supporters in Richmond will Ger
tainly have a meeting during the
next two weeks.
John Garland Pollard's hackers are
also planning to have their champion
appear before meeting to be held
In this city at near date,
Followers of j. Taylor Ellyson are
displaying, increased activity in Rich
mond, and his strength here is said
to be steadily growing.
Political forecasters announce that
the primary will bring out 10000
Democratic voters, and that of this
number Richmond will supply at least
1000. Pollard claims to have 1000
men pledged to support his candi-
dacy and efforts are being put forth
to increase this number to 10000
before the campaign ends.

FOR MIR. POLLARD.

This office is in receipt of "stock"
circular letter from S. Ullman's Sons,
Richmond, the we'll known groccrs,
championing the cause of Mr.. Pol
lard candidate for Governor, and
asking our support of this candidacy,
on the ground that Mr.. Pollard "is Il
close personal friend of the merchants
and farmers" and one who "has al
ways championed the cause of the
men who are doing things" and "by
voting for him we feel that you would
be helping to make better market
for your goods" and then adds: 1--WE
are taking the liberty OF asking this
of you because our business with you
has always been so pleasant" etc.
We suppose this circular letter has
been mailed to quite number of the
readers of this paper. Here are sew
eral striking facts" in this stereo-
typed letter which are interesting.
One is the statement that Mr.. Pollard
is close personal friend of merchants
and farmers. How many of our mer-
- Il
lard? How many Of them are close,
personal friends of the candidate? 1t
is wonderful how friendly candidates
become with the farmers. all at once,
during campaign. only to forget
them after election! That Mr. Pol
lard "has always cnampioned the
cause of the men who are doing
things" is wonderful statement, and
nodoubt true in general way, par
ticularly when the men who were do
ing things were doing them in Mr..
Pollard's way. He was not champ
ioning the men who were doing
things, and who had done things, and
done them well for twenty years,
when he organized his Progressive
League and tried to "bust up the
Democratic organization of the
State.
Just how Mr.. Pollard can possibly
make a better market for our goods,
the pleading letter of S. Ullman's
Sons does not state. This is only one
OF many ante-clection promises with
which we are familiar.
The closing statement of the letter
is one of the most wonderful of this
illconceived campaign documents. 1t
says 1--WE take the liberty of ask
ing this of you because our business
with you has always been so pleas
ant" Ullman & Sons are grocers of
Richmond. They do large business
They were extensive liquor dealers
in Connection with their grocery bust
ness until the prohibitionists put
them out of it, along with the saloon
keepers in Richmond. In just what
department of their business Taze-
well people had business is not stat
ed.
Attempts such as this to exploit
farmers and other people, as well,
made also by well known publication
in this State in favor of of another
candidate sounds like clap-trap des-
peration.
