And now cometh Mr.. Einstein, Of
Radford, n politician of some note
locally, prodigal son who wasted his
substance in rictous talk in the camps
OF tho Bull Moosers, until all hope
lied, then returned to his first love in
the camps Of the G. o. p, and now
cryeth out as fellows through the COL
nmns of the Roanoke Times, taking a
whack at President Wilson and the
League of Nations. Hear him: "Wc
(the Republicans) are bitterly opposed
TO this kind of q league We arc in
FAVOR of n League of Nations, drafted
by the best brains in ell parties, open
iy discussed, and put before the pco-
pie before il is ratified or made
permanent League" In preceding
paragraph this dcponcnt saith: "But
the Republican party and ] can safely
shy q vast majority Of the people Of
the United States arc opposed to the
League of Nations, u plan by one
man, =" In other words Il Wilsonian
League of Nations" II TIE dcponent
in the case at bar, had read the news
papers, (for there is no doubt OF the
fact that Mr.. Einstein is IN intelligent
Republican, he would long since have
learned that the League of Nations
was not drawn by MIR Wilson, but
framed by the leading statesmen Of
fourteen leading nations, that MI. Taft
the leading, overlapping Republican
OF today, is in favor of the League us
drawn, with one o. two small changes,
and that he is now President Of the
League to Enforce peace. Mr.. Elm
stein says that "a vast majority of the
people of the United States ere op-
posed to Il League of Nations, :; plan
drafted by one man, etc" Mr.. Wilson
said in his Boston speech that he
would tell the people on the other
side that the majority" eff the peo-
pie of the United States were in favor
OF it. Perhaps Mr.. Wilson was guess
ing and Mr.. Einstein was in possession
of the facts and the "fggers." And
further tho deponcrt sayeth not any
thing worth time and attention. There
is such q thing rs making ones self
ridiculous.

TWO ANECDOTES OF ROOSEVELT

The appeal by the Roosevelt Mem
orial committee for anecdotes about
him can hardly result in better ones,
says the New York Evening Post
than have been authenticated By his
biographers. In Mr. Charles G. Wash
burns Theodore Roosevelt-'Hhe Logic
of His Career" arc two that the gu
thor heard the colone! relate and that
are worth recalling. Once when he
was hunting in Colorado he met u
cowboy who had been one of the Rough
Riders. Hccame up and said: Mr..
President, ] have been in Jail g. year
for killing n gentleman" How did
you do it?" asked the President
"Thirty-eight on forty-fivc frame"
was the unexpected reply.
Another old co,nrade sure Of his
sympathy, wrote flom Jail in Ari-

TANNERSVILLE NOTES.

Tannersville. March l0--Aftcr a
great deal of agitation with the road
officials with small results, several of
the cnterprising citizens of this vi
cinitv decided to do little road work
on their own account last week. So
last Tuesday they met near Tumbling
Creek, where the road ought to be
bat what rcscmb!cd huge, muddy
lake more than a road, with several
teams and about Il dozen men they
tackled the job, with grim deter
mination to nut The road back on
sea Level if POSSIBLE. They faithfully
worked the balance CT the week haul
ton coat Of slate they transformed
roel, and by SATURDAY. afternoon
with the exception, of few bad gaps
in the valley road We would have q
gocd dry weather road through from
Broadford TO Tazewell, via Asburv
If all the citizens would lend THEN
assistance like the faithful few, ant
the Supervisors would give reason
able cooperation these imuassible
gaps could be finished and the roat
connected, but rs usual there are n.
many Chronic" knockers as there are
boosters who insist that they pay
road tax, therefore the county SHOULD
build the road. They seem to think
that their forty-nine cents n wea,
road tax ought to build macadar
road over every pioneer path in the
county.

It is opposed by thirty-nine Republica"
Senator and oy Senator Reed of Mls-
souri,, Democrat. The Bolshevki of
Russia have not yet expressed their
diSapprobation, but it is obvious that
they must oppose the League and all
its principles.
DO the thirty-nine Republican Sen
ators really enjoy the society i'll which
they ind Themselves? 1t is good
stroke of party tactics to put them
selves III opposition to the nations that
defeated Germany, TO the civilized
world? The question answers itself
There is nothing congenial to them III
this new companionship, FOR they are
in favor Of the organization of a
League of Nations. They cay in the
"round robin, which they signed
that the League proposal 30 insure
the permanent peace OF the world
should be taken up for serious con-
sideration after the Peace Treaty has
been signed. Senator Lodge, the
leader in this singular attempt to en-
barrass the Peace Conference and dc
lay its work, said il his address 81 the
Union College commencement in June,
1915, that nations must unite as
linen unite in order to preserve peace
"and order. The great nations must
''be so united as to be ablc to say to
ANY single country, You must not
Ego to war; and they can only say
chat effectively Wien the country
"desiring war knows that the force
(which the united nations place be-
"hind peace is Irresistible"
When the possible exception of SEN
ators Borah ard PondeXter we can
not doubt that Tie singers of this doc
ument all desire the creation of a
league of peace. 1t is plain as the
sun at monday, however, that what
they want is Il Republican League of
Nations, not one due in so large {.
part to the labors Of Democratic
President. They join the Germans
and the Sim Fciners in opposing the
League, not bccaugc they love their
society, but because, like the Ger
mans and Sim Feiners, they have an
object Of their own in view. They
want to eXalt the Republican Party by
diminishing the Democrats with the
hope of creating y prcscntable issue
fer the campaign of 1920. 1t is a
hazardous undertaking, for the Amer
lean people are not going to oppose
the League of Nations. They will APP
prove it overwhelmingly These thir
ty-ninc Republican Senators would do
well to look to their line of retreat.

COUNTY OFFICERS THIS YEAR

AS is well known this year, 1919. all
county officers are to be elected. As
yet, there has been but little talk
among the people as to any prefcren-
ces, except in one or two of the Offices
TO be filled. Only one new candidate
for the office of commissioner of the
revenue, has announced any intention
OF applying for office. There is the
usual talk about "rotation in Office"
Announcements by the candidates may
be expected ut no distant day, on the
principle that the early bird has the
best chance Of gobbling The unwary
worm.
This paper has always held that
there should be no PARTISAN politics
in county elections That the people
should seek only good. capable men ir-
respective Of party affiliations. Time
was, not Sd very long ago, when this
county was dominated by strict party
rule, and, rs . result men were clcvat-
ed to important Offices because they
belonged to the majority party, rather
that that they were the best men avail
able. So it occurs in counties freouen-
tly, where one rty,whichcver it may
happen to be largely in The ma or;ty.
Just to beat the other fellow" TO con.
troll the seats at the pie counter. TN
worthy and incompetent men have
been put up and elected to important
positions. Happily, this paper believes
such n condition, however, prevalent it
might have been years ago, is not
generally endorsed now by either of
the parties in this county. Within the
past few years there has been o. de-
cided turning down Of the partisan
spirit in both parties IN this county
Beginning in the road improvement
campaigns, then in the big war drives
the congressional election and o.,
down, the two parties have fought
shoulder to shoulder in heroic effort:
for the accomplishment of great OBJ
jects. They have pulled together
and it is, this papers believes, the wisi
Of the best people Of both parties, thai
this condition should continue 81 an
Democrat, or an Republican,
are no good reasons in themselve.
that candidate should be elected L
any Office, but it sometimes happen.
that these ARE about the only claim.
upon which candidate can hcncstl,
Z nsk the vote of the people.
The slogan this year is, "Givo us tn

BROWNS IN POTOMAC

Alexandria, Sept 23.-Scores OF
pedestrians and motorists watched on
the speedway seawail while four men
battled to swim asore from a found
cred motorboat IN The washington
canal. One lost his life.
The drown man Is Charles Willard
Sandorson. IS, living ON l. street,
southwest, between Third and Fourth
streets. His companions were Benja-
min and Ralph Davis and fourth
said to be named Grinder. The upset
OF the hired launch, a bateau with q
small engine In the stern. occurred
about 1880 o'clock as the result OF the
four mems scramb bling to one side OF
the craft to force flow OF gasoline
from, the tank in the bow. The weight
of the motor dragged the bateau be-
meath the surface.
All four were good swimmers and
started toward the seawall, $50 feet
distant. but Sandersons strength gave
out and he disappeared. The others
were helped up the wall by onlookers.
several OF whom plunged into the wa
ter to aid Sanderson's body was
recovered one hour later by the har-
Dor police
