ONE WAY TO HELP BUSINESS.

From Boot and Shoe Recorder.
Every man who pays his debts
promptly helps business for himself
as well as for everybody else. This
IS consideration we'll worth keep
ing in mind in these days when mon
ey as well as labor has demanded
higher wages-that is to say, when
interest rates have risen.
1t is the active dollar that keeps
business moving. The fact that thu
great bulk of business is done by
check does not in the slightest dc.
gree alter the truth of the foregoin..
statement. The check must be backed
by value somewhere. There must al
ways be a tangible basis for the in
tangible commodity called trade.
1t does not require any deeply
learned dissertation on finance To
convince every practical person of
this. Every business man knows the
truth of it. 1t ought TO be considered
duty, therefore, to keep money
circulating as promptly as possible
If every merchant in the United
States who does credit business
were to ginger up the collection de-
partment, to get "the active dollar
habit" started in town and then pas,
on the activity in the way of dis
counting his bills, or at least meet.
ing them with absolute promptness
it would make big difference in the
general activity Of business.

MIR. ANDERSON'S FIGURES.

A campaign sheet, published Ill
Richmond by the Republican Cam
paign Committee, is being distribut-
ed throughout this section. In this
sheet there is the usual political
claptrap and bunk which may be ca
pected to issue just before election
day. Two amusing things noticed
one, the howl against machine rule,
and rewarding political workers, pay
ing election debts. etc, seems to
have copied from examples of such

rs set by the administration in Wash
ington.
And then, notaries public arc ciass-
cd with expensive state officers, whcr
any numbskul knows, that every
notary public pays from $500 ~
$3.50 into the State Treasury, and
gets not one penny of salary. There
are according to the figures, 6,5U0
notaries, at $500 each, they pay ill.,
to the treasury the nice sum of
S37 800. Not much expense TO the
state. But, politicians are not al
ways careful how they handle facts.

SLEMP's NOTE OF WARNING.

Newport News Times Herald.)
In Saturdays Herald We
laughed at the prediction of Con-
FRESHMAN Slemp that Anderson would
be elected Governor of Virginia. But
MIR. Slemp has given Democrats
timely warning. If Democrats are as
Indifferent in the November election
as they were in the last Guberna-
torial election and the Republicans
poll as large vote as they polleJ
in the last Presidential election. An
derson will be elected. It will not %
to take anything for granted A De,
mocratic vote is worth nothing Ia
Trinkle until it is polled. 1t is the
ballot that counts.
Democrats who voted in the Az
gust primary are pledged to vote in
the November election. They are not
pledged simply not to vote the Re.
publican ticket. They are pledged to
VOTE FORS TRINKLE AND WEST
and the other. Democratic nominees.
And pledge Is pledge. A political
pledge is just as binding as any 9TH
er pledge, notwithstanding the fact

that some of the Republicans en-
deavor to draw distinction.
1t was the lamented DR.. Moses D.
Hoge who thrilled Virginia many
years ago by proclaiming that "that
which is morally wrong can not be
politically right"
Those who went into the primary
did so voluntarily. They voted be-
cause thoy wanted to choose between
Trinkle and Tucker; between West
and Gum; between this candidate
and that in the Democratic contest
Why did they go into that contest
If they were not in utilization with the
! Democratic party? 1t was party
/; primary and no concealment. Thelt
was no compulsion, and every man
and every woman who participated
took pledge to support the noml
nees. Support means voting. Sup.
port is worth nothing if you do not
vote. So if all who participated In
the primary keep their pledge, they
will vote for the Democratic NOM

others will be elected By an overwheI.

CLOOGED BLOOD
WITHERS THE BODY
Workers Sick. and Weak from
Exertion Take GUIDES Pepto-
Mangan.

Men and women, who toll, either
physically or mentally, use up ELI
ergy. When they overwork they use
up more energy, and sometimes the
blood gets in rundown conditions.
Without rest the blood cannot get
back to normal. so that lie becomes
clogged with waste matter from ov-
er-eXertion.
The clogged blood virtually with
crs the body. The strained looks OH
pale faces, the thin, bloodleess arms,
the sunken checks and necks, the
dead-tired feeling, are the results
of stale blood depriving the system
of lifegiving oxygen.
Workers go to the drug store and
get GUIDES -Mangan when they
feel weak and run down. They take
it in either liquid or tablet form.
That makes the blood rich and red
and drives out tthc poisons. Life
giving oxygen, carried by the little
red cells. renews the strength and
builds up the entire system. Look for
the name "Gude's Pepto- Mangan" on
the package. Advertisement.

Strong Effort Will Be Made to De.
feat Tammany Candidate.

Henry H. Curran's sweeping VIC
tory over the other aspirants for
nomination as the republican candi-
date for mayor of New York is
classed as having furnished ground
for encouragement to the fusion
movement against the Tammany
candidate. Mayor Hylan. An addi-
. tional element of hope is supplied
1T is held, by the fact that the
primary contest among the candi-
dates for the mayoralty nomination
was without especial feature of
bitterness and should leave no
irreconcilable differences
The next move of the leaders work
ing for Tammany's defeat will be-
1t is said. to appeal to all the anti
Tammany sentiment to consolidate in
massed force back of the republican
candidate for mayor and to throw
their hearts and best energies into
the campaign. Cool-headed politi-
clans in New York do not under

Government Being Undermin-
ed, But Continues "Live-
and-Let-Live" Policy.
BY GEORGE WIrTE.

By Wireless to The Star and Chicago Daily
News. Copyright. 1921.
BERLIN. September 1.-THE discov-
cry that Matthias Erzberger's murderers
are former members Of the notorious
Ehrhardt brigade, which under DR..
Wolfgang Won Kapp overthrew the
government eighteen months ago,
throws significant sidelight on the
German governments policy of 'live
and let live" For many months the
newspapers have been publishing
stories proving beyond a doubt that
the members of this reactionary or
Eanfzation' are still actively at work
9ndermining the already weak foun-
dattons of the German republic.
Meetings Of Ehrhardt men have
been reported from Pomerania, Silesia
and Bavaria. In Bavaria the meet
fngs were held in connection with the
orgetsch (militia) in open defiance of
the orders prohibiting them. Only a
few days ago the organ of the re-
actionaries in spandau, which under
the kaiser was a big center for muni-
tions. published warning to Hell
muth Won Gerlach, a leading German
pacifist, stating that he would be the
next to suffer Erzberger's fate. The
newspaper was suppressed. but only
after this indirect appeal to murder
Gerlach had been circulatd.
So far the government has taken
few steps to counteract the evil in
fiuence welded by the monarchists.
How lenient the authorities have
treated those connected with the
kaPp-Luttwitz revolution may be
judged from the fact that they have
turned over to DIR. kapp's son the
estate belonging to the plotter. The
property was confiscated by the gov
ernment after the revolution had been
successfully suppressed.
