And while we are on this jury business 1t is fair
10 call attention to the fact that although the DEM
ocratIc party IS making a great pretense OF looking
after the interests Of the working man, and espe-
claIly Of the organized working man, three OF tn
candidates on the county ticket were members o.
the sepciul grand jury which indicted the Farming
ton rioters and started more than a score OF them
on Il way TO Moundsville. Three men who serv-
cd on one special grand jury on a ticket at the same
time is u rather remarkable coincidence to say the
least.

seems that Governor Cox was stand
Ing already On a platform. drawn up
i'll accordance with the constitution,
whose laws he will swear if elected
to carry out in so far as lies in the
power of an executive.
The ugly look in Mr.. llobsons re-
quest, and what no doubt made Gov
crnor Cox mad. was the promise of
the gain of large number of ODE

acceptable to the prohibitionists, and,
implicitly, the loss Of these same
Democratic votes. on the other hand

did not know that to declare in
favor of the "wets" the "drys" would
be lost, and in favor of the "drys"
the vets" would be lost, and so, the
"bribc" was of doubtful value any

a FOOL AND ~ PADDED BARREL

Barrels have been the ruin and
death of many man but because
the contents of the barrel get inside
the man. A few days ago C. G.
Stephens, an Englishman, SO years,
got inside n barrel, and for wager,
attempted to make the trip over
Niagara Falls, absolutely sure. he
said, that he could get away with
the trick. The fates had been kind
to him on Il number of previous
occasions, such as handling lions,
jumping from balloons. and other
dangerous and .foolhardy acts. He
presumed once too often. He went
over the roaring cataract, drop of
lG4 feet into the roaring mad whirl-
pools below. AT last accounts his
body had not been recovered.
Stephens was barber. He tired
of his job-too slow and obscure. lie
was ambitious to get out into the
limeilght. In an interview given out
just before the fatal plunge he said
There is no secret about the reason
for my plunge. want the money. .
When l have completed the Niagara
feat can go back to English music
halls, and lecture, and show my
barrel" Years ago some one went
over the falls in barrel safely, but
it is not always true that what one
man does with safety therefore an
other man can do.
After all, what's to it? AS we say
Such idiots as Stephens and his ilk
are fit subjects for padded cells.

PROHIBITION ENFORCEMENT IN
TAZEWELL.

Prohibition in Tazewell is Il
farce" is the way one citizen puts
it. he went on To say, that, as every
body knows, liquor can be gotten
here as readily now as ut any other
time in our history. All that is
necessary is to know how and where
and this is easily found out.
h is fact, as everybody known
again, that liquor is being sold in
the community frequently. At ro-
cent sale in this community there
were Il number Of people who had
too much, and at the Carnival last
week, it is said that liquor was plen-
tiful. "fou don't have to go to Blue
field amy longei--get it right here"
IS the way it is talked now. 1t is not
pleasant to say these things in print,
but The truth should be told. Taze-
we'll is no worse OIL in this respect
than other communities all along the
line. The bootlcggcr is abroad in the
land, country, town ad city.
There are stringent laws on the
statute books against the sale of
liquor. Why are these laws not en-
forced? Are the officers doing their
best TO enforce laws inaccordancc with
the oaths subscribed to when they
entered into office. If not, thev are
violating their oaths, and are pcrjur-
ing themselves. If they are honestly
trying to enforce the laws and can
not succeed they should say so, and
let some effective measures be taken
This is the way people are talking
But talk alone will accomplish but
llttle-nothing. If the laws are being
violated as everybody knows is the
case, and if the prohibition officers
and all the rest are not doing their
duties, instead of standing around
and talking and taking it out in tat
ling, the people would rise up and
demand that something be done, else
let the matter drop, give the boot
logger clear track, and let the PEG.
pie exercise their PERSONAL liberty
and drink when they please and
where they please.
If the church members and preach.
ers, and all good citizens would rise
up and demand that this thing shall
stop, instead of asking the editors tc

their fingers, it would stop. The peo.

MIR. BRYAN.

The birmingham News, in n re-

Woodrow Wilson has wrecked the

SENATOR G. WALTER MAPP
FOR GOVERNOR.

There is growing sentiment in the
State that Senator Mapp should be
elected Governor of Virginia this
next term, to succeed Governor
Davis. The Senator is pretty well
known, by those who know him best,
is highly regarded A prominent Re-
publican remarked the ,othor day,
when this matter was mentioned
Senator Mapp is good and true
man, and if he is a candidate I will
vote for him."
Up to this writing, there is no
one mentioned for the office of Cover
nor, since Lieutenant Governor Blu
chnnan declines to be candidate
that this paper would more gladly
support than Senator Walter G.
Mapp.
He is "Bone-diy," and on this ac-
count would not be as acceptable
perhaps to II number of bibulous
citizens of the District, as some
other man n little more moist. but
to the great majority of the electo.
rate OF both parties, it is believed
he would be entirely acceptable.
