VIRGINIA Governor
RACE ALREADY ON
Election Three Years Away,
But Possibilities Bob Up
in Speculation.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
RICHMOND, Va, August 12.-With-
in the last few days there has been
made a movement to inaugurate the
fight for the governorship, now three
Years away. and to have the men
aligned at this time. The first state
ment was that made in newspaper
whose editor voted for former Gov.
Westmoreland Davis over Sen
atom Swanson. and was to the erect
that the friends Of the recently de-
feated candidate for the Senate would
be groomed for the goVernorshlp 10
succeed Gov. Trinkle.
Right on the heels of this came the
report that a delegation OF Virginians
will seek to have Thomas Fortune
RYAN of Nelson county placed in the
running. 1t is known that Attorney
General Saunders and Senator G. Wal
ter Mapp will make the race, and
in addition thereto are mentioned the
names of Senator G. OConor Cool
rick of Fredericksburg. and Senator
Harry F.. Byrd of Winchester. chair
man of the state democratic commit
tee.
Democratic Amendment Certain.
Whatever may be the result of the
mention of many names, 1t is con-
ceded that before the next primary
is held the state democratic commit
tee will so amend the law that it will
be IMPOSSIBLE for minority nominee
to become the candidate, as was the
case five years ago when Mr.. DAVIS
was declared the nominee and when
he lacked 10000 of receiving ma
jority.
The mention of the name of Mr..
Ryan, who spends most of his time
in New York, was made in earnest by
men in this city. Mr.. Ryan is a demo-
crat, a native of Virginia, and has
handsome estate in Nelson county,
one Of the show places Of the state
He Is a great stock and cattle raiser
and has many fine horses on his es-
tate.
Republicans Threaten Ticket.
Republicans of the state are threat
ening to place a complete ticket In
the state this fall for members Of
both branches of Congress. Calls
have been issued for conventions and
meetings to take action in this mat
ter. The republican state COMMITTEES
convenes in Roanoke Monday to name
a candidate for the United States SEN
ate in opposition to Senator Claude
A. Swanson, the nominee of the demo-
Gratis There Is conjecture and un-
certainty as to who will have the
nomination. There Is a suggestion
in democratic circles that the norni-
nation be given Representative Slemp,
in recognition of his services and
recognized ability, but ther9zie little

EDUCATION

Parties may come and go, politicians may rise and fall, but the education Of the youth of the country goes on forever ''
 Thus said "Marse Henry Watterson, who was so well qualified. Unless the people be well trained, and well in structed, and well informed ; unless they know how to value and to appreciate American in- sjtitutions and American ideals, democracy will have difficulty in enduring. The defenses of our Commonwealths, the de fences of our nation are not material, but mental and spirit ual. Our Notifications and our soldiery can repel an invas- ion of armies from our shores i; our greater menace. an invas- ion of ideas can be repelled alone in the school room.
 The form of reconstruction, of which our people are in most serious need, is a construction of their thoughts and of their ideals" Thus said the gover- nor of Kentucky, Hon. Edwin P. Morrow
 Do you dispute the gentle man?
 The Bureau of Education of the United States stated that in the year 1920 there were be- tween three hundred and four hundred thousand children de- prived of schooling because of a shortage of teachers. Said the Commissioner of Education, at the time, t'Even more serious is the rapidly growing number of substandard teachers. More than half of the teachers of the 5O,OOO-are not pre- pared on any reasonable basis for the work of teaching, a reasonable basis being under stood to mean the minimum standard that progressive com munities have long insisted up- on-two years of professional training beyond the four-year high-school course."
 The "Towner-Sterling" bill now in Congress will give you a Federal Department of Educat- ion. Have you read it?

Especial Correspondence.)
 Washington, Feb. 8. The latest national political fad is the holding of conferences. The conference is now the most popular of all indoor sports and life at the Capital of the Nation is just one conference after an- other.
 When Senator Borah, the big outstanding, outspoken Senator from Idaho, introduced his res olution for a Disarmament Con- ference, he started something. One conference now treads up- on the heels of. another, and this is only the beginning.
 Something is wrongl The administration is "up stump" and doesn't know what to do; let's call a conference; let's as- semble the best minds" have a warm handshake, have our picture taken with our genial Chief Executive in the center, palaver and pow WOW for few days, and then "all aboard for Gods country" which means home to the average man.
 Then what happens? Moth ing whatever. Oh, yes. there are the resolutions which have been passed. Resolutions are mostly like good intentions they make good paving ma terial in a warm climate.
 And so it came to pass that after the unemployment con- ference was over and the unem- ployment question settled and everybody had a job and was back to work-except the ex- service men who tramp around here. some of them in rags, and get turned down everywhere they go, just as Will Hays turns them down when they want to be Postmasters after they get the highest rating-following the unemployment conference, The Great Conferer calls an

Williams Today and Yesterday
WILLIAMS YESTERDAY
WILLIAMS YESTERDAY

The first article appearing under this caption attracted considerable attention and has received many favorable com ments. News readers, be- yond a doubt, enjoy reading of those old days. The editor is now trying to piece together the stories of the few really "old-timers" still living in order to give something of a history of Williams from the time the first few shacks were erected, down to the present time.
 The history of Williams nat ura1ly divides itself in two parts-before the great fire and after. The files of the News give a good account of the de velopment of Williams after the time of the fire, but the files for the period before the fire were burnt along with the en- tire plant of the News at the same time that the main busi- ness section of the town was destroyed by fire.
 The task of piecing together the bits of information which we are able to gather regard ing Williams from 1880 to 1900 is not an easy job. We hope to have the first installment ready next week but may be forced to delay one week longer

 At present the Marshal has several offers open to him for positions with different com panies. However he prefers to continue in the service of the old home town altho to the duties of peace officer are added those of dog catcher, street supervisor, tax collector, deputy sheriff ct cetera.
 When you see Bobby Burns, Mutt and the car you know you are in Williams.
Williams news., 1922-02-03

ROBERT BURNS, Among the prominent citi-
 zens of Williams today who may be classed as old residents
 is Robert Burns, Town Mar shal. Bobby" as he is fa- miliarly known, came to Will ] Hams in 1901-twenty-one years ago. Except for two years spent at Seligman in the service of the Santa Fe he has been a resident of the town continuously since his first arriv- al. He has been repeatedly chosen for the office of Marshal and with his car and his re- markable dog Mutt he has be come one of the familiar land marks of the community.
 Robert Burns first entered business in Williams when he bought out the Williams trans fer from Geo. Patterson. While in this business he won consid- erable fame thru the use of the catch phrase "The Man of the Hour, in the City of Opportun- ity".
 Bobby first served as T police officer in 1913. He liked the work and soon sold his trans fer business to A. s. Brown, In order that he might devote his entire time to police work. His first work for the county was as a deputy under Pu1liam.
 Marshal Burns is member of the International Sheriff s and Peace Officers Association of St. Paul. In additional to his work as town Marshal he has kept his eye on bigger game" in the way of auto thieves and other criminals Ha- ble to attempt to pass east or west along the Old Trails route. He has been remarkably sue cessful in detecting thieves with stolen cars and has made mum ber of important arrests and won a number of handsome re- wards in this way. His fame has reached far beyond Will Hams and he has received a number of attractive offers from different detective agen- cies, but he has preferred to re- main a resident of the old home town and to carry on his work here.
 The Saginaw & Manistee Lumber Company has Bobby Burns to thank for quick results in stopping the loss of lumber from their yards. He was en- ployed by them some time ago to look into this lumber thiev- ing. He quickly ferrited out the guilty parties and the yard losses stopped pronto.
 Any write-up of the town Marshal would be incomplete without a few words "' his dog Mutt.

 Have Produced Results.
 In all, Robert Burns has been
 Town Marshal for eight years. i Those years of servlce have seen many stirring times and a long list of arrests with a large total of fines levied and collect ed have resulted from his act ivities. A total of 493 arrests have been made and a sum in excess of $4, ,OUO.00 has been collected in fines from law vio- ators placed under arrest by tine Marshal.

 July, 1916. Lewis Mon toya and Abicinio, two Mexi- cans, shot eleven times into a group of Mexicans WoundIng Joe Balderas in the head, while a ball grazed the breast of an other.

 Oct. 4th, 1916. Augustus Balderamos engaged in gun play and struck girl over the head. When ordered to sur render, he ran. Burns fired 1 to make him stop, striking him in the heel, which proved the i mans undoing as truly as did | the wound in the heel of i Achilles.
 Oct. 16, 1917. Ruben Con l gales was suspected of the mur- der of Cisnenos, a section work man living north of the tracks. Burns and Charles Wade arrest ed Gonzales and unearthed the l details of the. killing. Con- i zales was sentenced to 25 years in the state prison.

Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to Take Salts and Get Rid of
 Uric Acid.

yRheumatism is no respecter of age. sex, color or rank. If not the most dangerous of human affIictions it is one Of the most painful. Those sub- Ject to rheumatism should eat less meat,s dress as warmly as possible, aNold any undue exposure and, above all, drink lots of pure water
 RheumaUSn is caused by uric acid which is generated in the bowels and absorbed into the blood It is the function of the kidneys to filter this acld rom the blood and cast it out m the urine; the pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of thls lmpurity. In damp and chilly cola weather the skin pores are clos ca thus forcing the kidneys to do dou- Die work, they become weak and slug glsh and fail to eliminate this uric acid which keeps accommodating and circu- latlng through the system, eventually settling in the joints and muscles causing stiffness, soreness and pain called rheumatism.
 At the first twinge of Rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of lad Salts; put a tablespoon- fui in a glass of water and drink be- fore breakfast each morning for a week. This IS said to eliminate uric acid by stimulating the kidneys to normal action, thus ridding the blood of these impurities.
