NEW LAW VIII DEPORT
ALL ALIEN SLACkERS
Congressman Albert JOhnsOn's Bill
Receives SuppOrt-"Pussy Foot
ers" Oppose Bill

The Minute Men of Washington are
urging the passage of law under
which draft slackers and all others
who preach the overthrow of this
government by force can be sent out
of the country. The following is from
the state headquarters of the Wash
ington Minute Men, 4130 Arcade
Bldg, Seattle:
Replies from senators and repre-
sentatives to letters asking them to
favor legislation for the deportation
of alien slackers, being received by the
Minute Men, are accepted by the
state officers of the organization as
indicating strong probability of pas
sage of the legislation in the present
session.
Deportation of aliens who renounce
their right to become citizens to es-
cape military service is provided for
in a bill introduced by Congressman
Albert johnson of this state, who is
chairman of the house committee
on immigration and naturalization.
Letters from congressman from this
state pledge support to the Johnson
bill when it is reported out of COM
mittee, and letters from senators and
congressman representing other states
indicate favorable interest in the leg
islation which the Minute Men are
seeking.
Senator Miles Poindexter pledges
his active support as follows
"I have yours of recent date and
am delighted to know of the patriotic
and aggressive attitude of the Min
ute Men in the matter of the exclu-
sion and deportation of aliens who
escaped military service by renounc-
ing their rights to become citizens.
| will take advantage of every oppor-
tunity to promote this legislation"
Congressman John F. Miller says:
81 have your letter of the 21st of
May in regard to the passing of leg
islation providing for the deportation
of aliens who escaped military SER
vice by renouncing their rights to be-
come citizens and l am replying at
once to say that this plan has my
hearty personal approval. Of course,
the matter lies in the hands of the
committee on immigration and nat
uralization, of which committee Hon.
Albert Johnson of the Third Wash
ington district is chairman. If this
committee sees fit to recommend such
legislation | know that it would have
the general support on the floor of
the house, despite the stand of the
statedepartment against this deporta-
ton which, it alleges, is violation
of reciprocal treaty agreements"
Edmund Platt, New York con-
gressman, says:
"I entirely agree with the state
ment of the Minute Men that foreign
ers abusing the hospitality of our
country who advocate Bolshevik ideas
and the overthrow of the existing
government of the United States,
ought to be transported as undesir-
ables, and shall be glad to cooperate
in obtaining legislation for that pur-
pose"
Clarence F. Lee, of the First Dis
trict of California, pledges himself as
follows:
"I favor effective deportation laws
and expect to vote accordingly when
the opportunity is afforded"

SWORN AT THE FEET OF
CHRIST.

Senator Morris Shepherd, of Texas
recently said in Il speech in the SEN
ate:
Mn. President it remained for two
of the smaller nations of the earth
to give mankind an example worthy
of universal emulation. In 1900 Chile
and Argentina were at the point of
war. In an appeal of uplifting elo-
quence on Easter Sunday Bishop
Benavente, Of Argentina, directed the
angry peoples to the teachings of the
Galisean, and urged that statute of
Christ be erected OH the frontier con-
Meeting the two countries. The re-
sponse was immediate. The dispute
was submitted to arbitration, with
Edward of England as arbiter. His
decision was promptly accepted, and
the effect was wonderful, The tides
of passion fell. Arscnals were con-
verted into schools. Funds intended
for battleships were employed in the
beneficicnt enterprise of peace in
commemoration of the triumph of
reason over force statute of Christ
was erected on the mutual boundary
line which traverses the crest of the
Andes. The statute was made in part
of melted cannon. Thus the imple-
ments of battle were dismantled and
nodded into the features of the ever
lasting Prince of Peacc.-EXchanpe

REWARD FOR
FISH ROBBERS
Men Who Threw Dynamite in
Clinch River Will BE Prose
cuted if States Attorney Sc
cures Their Names.

About ten days ago Il party of five
men went down Ciinch river dyna-
miting fish at every favorable place
in the vicinity of Maxwell and Giles
pie. Several young people from Taze-
were camping ut the Molliu Harper
Hole and protested ut the use of
dynamite by these men, but the men
talked very rough to them, and cX-
ploded dynamite at three different
points in the Mollic Harper Hole,
killing all the fish and minnows in
this sheet of water A very large
bass was killed at this point.
When last seen these men were on
their way down the river toward
Pounding Mill and continuing the use
of dynamite. The young people mt
the camp did not recognize any of
the party. The men had been drinking
and were worry rough in their manner
and talk. One man WAS wearing ON
overseas cap. and had on an army
shirt with the sleeves torn out
y fund of twenty dollars has been
raised and turned over to the Com
monwealth's Attorney to be paid as
Il reward for the arrest and conviction
of the guilty parties. Any one having
any information as To the identity of
these men will please write the
Commonwealth Attorney promptly
Every law abiding citizen should
give active support in an effort to
break up such unlawful conduct.
These men killed many thousands
of small fish and mnnows and such
waste is shocking. Unless such prac-
ticcs are broken up promptly, the
fishing days in the Clinch river will
beover. If the young folks in the
camping r"ltY had rhoned TO officers
mt TaZo""h avery effort would have
been rad" ir anrrrhcnd the guilty
nartics 1"i IN" clmpCr's never

discovers persons using dynamite to
kill fish rush tn Il phone and COM
municatc with the nearest officers.
We must save the fish from such
destruction.

WHEAT HARVESTING NEARLY
OYER-B BINDERS RUNNING ON
SUNDAY.

In this immediate section there are
IL number of very fine fields of wheat
and number of small patches. all
of which are about finished. With
the close of the week the bulk of the
wheat will be in the shock, and some
of it in the stack. The rains of last
week held up the work, and the clear
weather found every field dead ripe,
so, when the farmers got chance
they went at it in hurry, some of
them, report says, not stopping for
Sunday, but kept the day "holy" by
putting the wheat in the shock. A
good deal of wheat was still stand
ing down the Clinch on last Tuesday,
and several fields of rye also, all
dead ripe. On the Graybeal farm and
the Young place, owned by Jas. Ed
Pcucy, harvesting was in progress.
Mr.. Peery said that one of his fields
was hardly worth cutting owing to
the smut. Generally the crop is very
fine. One Thompson Valley farmer
however, reports his crop not at all
good, a large percentage of the heads
being small and chaffy. There will
be wheat bread and to spare, this
year, and there will be big demands
for all the surplus. A great corn
crop is promised now. as supple
mcnt, and no one need 20 hungry in
this wonderful land of abundance and
plenty.

Editor Ciinch Valley News,

Your editorial of the 9th, concern
ing w. j. Bryan and the Roanoke
Times Editor, is certainly a question.
But evcrytimc read anything like
that criticising w. J. Bryan ! think
of what the Hon. Ollie james said.
"The criticisms of w. j. Bryan are
forgotten the instant they are out
Of sight. While w. j. Bryan will go
down in history taught to the grand
and great grand children of our gen
erations as the greatest known Amer
lean, and you notice he pays no at
tcntion to such critics" Ollie James
said he is too busy fighting the
Lions and Tigers in front of him to
pay any attention either to the bark
ing or biting of the dogs" at his
back, and surely he would pay no
attention (and who should?) to such
silly stuff. Take it from me, he is
some stout editorial writer any time.
Best Wishes,
j. SAM GILLESPIE.

MARY WOODRUM O'KEEFEE.

Little Mary Doodrum O'Keefee, the
six year old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
James O'Keofec, of Blucfield, was
buried at the new cemetery here
wednesday afternoon. The burial took
place at 5 o'clock. The funeral SER
vice was in charge of the Rev. j. w.

church in Buefield Undertaken
Peery of Tazewell brought the re-
mains of the little girl through the
country in his auto hearse Mary
Woodrum was said to have been an
exceptionally bright child, and is
taking away from the bosom of its
parents at the tender and innocent
age of six years, is one of the un-
fathomablc mysteries. There is moth
ing mysterious or strange in the
death of an old person, who has had
opportunity to perform his or her
part in the drama of life, but the
calling of n child, before whom all
of life with its great possibilities for
good lies, dumfounds you, and you
seek in vain the reason for the little
grave.
On either side of the new cemetery,
where interment was made, field
after field of golden grain greeted
the funeral party. This, to the dis
cerning eye, is unmistakablc testi-
mony to the great truth that the
little body of Mary Woodrum will
soon rise again, and be like that OF
it's Maker, for was not the little
grains of wheat burid in the earth g
few short months ago, and now bios
som forth in effulgence of beauty
and plenty.
