COX TALKS TO THE POINT.

In one of his speeches i'm Michi-
gan last week Governor Cox denied
that America is not interested in
European affairs. To League crit-
les who express fear that American
youths would be embroiled in Eu-
ropean conflicts, Governor Cox
again imputed insincerity and a
plan to ''befog the issue" He de-
clared that the League, standing for
arbitration and council" would be
against war. The economic boycott
he also said would prove a prompt
final of war.
Rcasserting that Congress only
has power to declare war, Cover
nor Cox characterized as "fairy
tales" the opposition arguments
that the league would place Ameri-
cans in foreign conflict.
You can't establish any treaty
or any League" he said, "that runs
counter to the Constitution"
Governor Cox called upon Sena-
Tor Harding for an unequivocal state
ment of his peace plans, charging
again that the Republican candi-
date had taken several different po-
|SitionS.

IS MONTGOMERY SINCERE.

Organized labor in West Virginia
has shown that it has great conf
dcnce in Samuel b. Montgomery.
Undoubtedly he has shown himself
a friend of labor in the past, but
there is considerable of the dema-
gosue and the opportunist in his
makeup, and his attitude in the
present campaign leads naturally
to the question that captions this
article.
Let's sketch his present position
briefly and see where he stands.
Mr.. Montgomery has always been
Il Republican. He sought the Re-
publican nomination for Governor,
but was defeated, and in accepting
the Non-Partisan League nomination
he said 81 am still a Republican,. .
lie strongly fayors the election of
Senator Harding as President, and
though claiming to be friend of
labor himself, urges labor to vote
against Governor Cox, who is their
tried and true friend, endorsed by
Samuel Gompers, President of the
American Federation of Labor.
Judging from this attitude it is
our belief that his sole purpose in
making the race as the Non-Partisan
League candidate is to use that Or
ganization to hold his large Repub-
lican following, and fool enough
labor Democrats into voting for
him to get control of the Republic
can organization of the State for
himself.
Montgomery is first of all Re-
publican. He will vote for the Re-
publican candidate for President,
who is also the candidate of the
big monied interests, rather than
for Cox, the friend OF labor. BY
thus remaining regular" he hopes
to get clearer title to control of
The Republican organization of
West Virginia. His appeal for the
Support OF Democratic labor voters
is merely an incident in the fight
he isSmaking.-Ralcigh Register.

SUCCESSFUL DEMONSTRATION.

Stration given on the Frances Boone
farm South of Town Saturday after
noon was a big success, tho all the
motor driven machinery expected
did not arrive The land selected
for the demonstration was in fine
condition with no rock to be found.

drawing two plows each and three
drawing disk harrows large acre
ago was soon perfectly plowed,
dlsked and smoOthed putting it in
perfect condition. 1t was astonish-
ing to see how easily, rapidly and
thoroughly the work was done
with young girls manipulating the
harows. Fence corners presented
no difficulty to these machines, farm
ers observing the ease with which
they were manipulated, remarking
that they plowed corner better
than q man could do with team
Of horses. An enSilage cutter was
also shown but not put in operation
as there was no corn or Silo. A
large crowd of men and women
was present and we dare Say all
went home pronouncing the farm
tractor, If not thing of beauty,
certainly a JOY forever. One Of
these tractors would, no doubt,
plow from 10 10 20 acres in one
day. We heard one man remark
that with supply of these ma
chimes the old farmer will here
after sit in the shade, chaw terbac-
ca and spit while his young girls
Jumped ON the tractors and plowed
his land for him.

Huntington Tuesday night, Sept.
IA, 1920, aged 7S years mos. and
% days. The Advertiser relates
that he had been ill since Sunday,
Sept 5, when he left services at the
Trinity Episcopal Church threaten
ed with pneumonia. but Tuesday
night he seemed somewhat improv-
ed and at the time of his death was
talking with his brother. William
II. Thompson. Death was caused
| by paralysis Of the heart. Last
Thanksgiving. while attending a
football game at Marshall College,
MIR. Thompson was slightly injured
when the bleachers collapsed. His
health had not been good since that
time. He had been senior warden
of Trinity Episcopal Church, Hunt
ington for many years, and al the
time of his death, held the rank of
Brigadier General commanding the
Second Brigade of the West Virginia
Division United Confederate Veter-
ans, to which office he was first ap-
pointed by Gen. Peyton, Commander
and, afterwards duly elected by the
State Camp. During the Civil War
MIR. Thompson served the South
mainly with the army OF the South
west and surrendered with Gen.
IPemberton'S army at VickSburg.
After the war Mr.. Thompson lived
at Cincinnati and MaysviIlc, KY,
moving later to Hinton this State
where he established the Mountain
Herald which he conducted and
ably edited for many years and be-
came very well and favorably
known throughout this part of the
State. Later he moved to Hunting
ton. Here he succeeded in bust
ness, established delightful home
and lived in ease and elegance. He
leaves his wife and one brother,
Hon. VIM. r. Thompson, of Hunt
lngton, and other near kin, to
mourn the loss of his companion
ship and affection. He was son
Of the late Major Ben Thompson
who died at Hinton some years ago
and his wife who was before mar
riage Elizabeth Lewis, of Mason
county, coming of one of the most
distinguished families Of old Vir-
ginia, prominent in peace and war
in the early history of the country.
His mother was sister of Mrs.

ed and so became very we'll known
to the people of Grecnbrier. We
know Gen. Thompson well through
many years and esteemed him high
Iy. He was man of unblemished
character, fine capacity, genial dis
position and was ever loyal TO his
friends. His standards of life,
whether public or private, were all
high and living in accord with
them he commanded and held The
esteem and confidence of ALL.
Though he had lived to a, good old
age his departure will be mo,rned
not only by those near and dear
to him but in large circle of low
