A TRIBUTE

The following tribute was
adopted by the Virginia Press
Association at the Annual Meet
ing in Stanton, Va, and pub
lished in the Virginia Press AS
ISOLATION Quarterly Bulletin
Captain Grabill, publisher and
editor of the Shenandoah HERALD
of Woodstock, Virginia, when a
younger man, some thirty years
ago, was a regular attendant at
the meetings of our Association
and will be remembered by many
of its first members for his gent
ality at the annual gatherings.
The eighty-three years of his
life, extending from 1889 to 1922,
were spent in the Valley of Vir-
GINA.
Captain Grabill won his title
by fighting for it in defense Of
Virginia in the cause Of the
Southern ConfederacY, and IL
1869 he became the owner OF the
Shenandoah HERALD, to which
newspaper he devoted the re
mainder of his life-for more thar
half a century a Virginia pub
Usher.
He further earned his title
a Captain" in the great battl
for the Virginia public schoo
system-popular education-wa,
back III the early Seventies
when fighters were badly needed
he was on the firing line.
To those who knew him, Ii
was a lovable Christian com
panion.
Captain Grabill won many bat
ties. May he rest in peace.

Leedy PRINCIPAL Speaker
AT Rally of Democrat

Winchester, Va. Oct. So
Robert f. Leedy, State Senator
from Page, who four years age
lopposed Representative T. W
Harrison, Democrat, Winchester,
for the Seventh Virginia district
Congressional nomination in one
| OF the most spectacular cam
paigns in the political history of
the State, was the principal
speaker tonight at a Democratic
rally.
The City Hall auditorium, in
which the meeting was held, was
|crowded.
Mr.. Leedy asserted Democrats
of the district are united, and
that it was the duty of all of
them to support the nominee in
the November election. He want
ed to see his former opponent
elected by such an overwhelming
m a jority as to give no pretext
whatever for another contested
election in the Seventh district,
he said.
Aubrey G. Weaver, of Front
Royal, who was anti Harrison i'll
the primary four Years ago, also
spoke in behalf of the Democratic
1ominee, and took fling at the
tariff.

sidy Plan, and then receive
cash bonus of $3.50, 000,0 900 over
ten years, will be provided for,
yet this Republican Congress hasl
not enacted a single law to lm-
prove the condition of the farmer
The explanation is that the
Republican party has always
been and is now the servant oil
the highly organized plutocratic
interests. These maintain pow
erful Hobbies aud make huge cam
paign contributions to Reoubli-
can managers.
President Harding feeds the
farmers with promises but he
satisfies the great organized in
terests with performances.
By the tariff law, manufacture
ers are protected against compe-
Triton to such All extent that tiley
can realize enormous profits by
selling necessities Of life to the
American public.
Under this same tariff the
farmer sees his products gong
down and his sugar, clothing and
machinery going up. The reason
is that the surplus agricultural
! products can no longer be alb
sorbed by Europe because the
tariff prevents Europe from sell
ing to us and therefore renders
Europe unable to buy from us.
The voters of Virginia are
earnestly urged to perform their
civic duty. Voting in the Pri-
mary does not complete that duty
Every qualified citizen should
vote. but it is peculiarly incum-
beut upon those who participate
ed in the Primary to vote in the
general election, The power and
influence Of all organization can
only be maintained by the vigil
ance of its members.
The campaign this fall is the
forerunner of the great battle of
1924 therefore every Democrat
should stand up and be counted,
to show the country that i'll spite
OF the result of the election of
1920 the Democracy Of this nation
has again gotten together and
with energy and courage is pre-
senting an united front to the
enemy.
The Democrats Of Virginia owe
it to themselves and the Country
to elect Senator Swanson and the
Democratic candidates for Con-
gress by majorities so overwhelm-
ING that the voice of Democratic |
will ring through the
land.

Oct. ~, l9ZZ.
Mr.. H. F. Byrd, Chairman Of
the Democratic State Central
Committee, today issued the fol-
lowing statement
The prosperity of Virginia
largely depends upon agriculture,
1t is vital for Virginians to
know what-under the Republl-
can administration happen
ming to the great farming inter
ests of the State. The ability Of
any industry to live depends upon
whether it can sell its output for
more than it costs to produce 1t.
If the price of the products of
business declines and the price
of every thing which such bust
ness must use does not decllue IN
the same ratio, then either the
relation of these prices must
change or the business becomes
Improbable.
1t is undoubtedly true that the
farmer who raises corn, wheat,
hay, potatoes, cattle and hogs is
not on the average making the
cost Of production If reasonable
allowance is made for his own
labor.
The Democratic administration
does not claim credit for the alb
normal prices of farm products
existing during the war, Yet
under Democratic administration
for more than two years after the
war the prices of farm products
enabled satisfactory profits. From
the very beginning, however, of
Mr.. Hardiug's administration,
farm prices tumbled and con-
tinued progressively to lower UNI
til many farm products sold for
less than the cost of production.
President Harding and the Re
publican leaders promised pros
y ritY to the farmers, because
Republican administration would
bring about normally. Let us
see how Republican "normalcy'
has affected the farmer.
In 1920, under Democratic ad-
a 1900 pound steer
sold for $193.50. In 1921, under
Republican administration, the |
same steer sold for $I25.5O, loss
Of S68.O0 on one steer in one year. |
In 1920, the wheat farmer sold |
LOO bushels Of wheat for $4,000 |
and 1921 sold 100 bushels for
Sl0l 90.
In 1920, the corn farmer sold
100 bushels of corn for S144, so
md in 1921 sold the same corn
or SIS 90, and new unshelled
orn is being quoted today at
wentv-flve cents per bushel. The
price of the things the farmer
must buy decreased little if any.
As result the farmers dollar is
worth less than fifty cents, when
lsed to buy what he must have.
For instance, binder he
ought with the proceeds of So
ushels OF wheat in 1920 required
IS bushels of wheat to pay for
in 1921. Illustrations could be
ontinued to the point of weari.
ess,
If the readjustment of prices
pplied generally to other branch
S of industry the farmer would
OF complain. Food products
ave been Debated yet the manu-
lcturers of those things the
lrmer is compelled to buy are
many instances making war s
me profits. I
The Republican administration s

Thomas Nelson Page
Noted Author Is Dead.

Richmond, Va, November l -
Thomas Nelson Page, LAWYER,
diplomat and author, died sud
denly of heart disease this alter
noon at his old plantation home,
Oakland" in Hanover county,
where he was born.
Mr.. Page apparently in the
best of health, was walking in the
garden with his sister -in-law,
Mrs. Roosevelt Page, when he
suddenly collapsed. He was car
fied into the house and medical
aid was hastily summoned, but
he died within few minutes.
About month ago he came to
Virginia to spend the winter at
the old home near Beaver Dam
with his brothers family. He
announced that he would soon
begin preparation of a book deal
ing with his experiences as am
bassador to Italy during the
World War.
Mr.. Page was sixty-nine years
of age.
He was appointed Ambassador
to Italy in June 1913, and con-
tinued in that capacity until Au-
gust 1919. his service covering
critical period in American-Euro-
pean relations. More than one
of the important diplomatic notes
passing between the United
States to the allies went through
his hands.
In the summer 1919 he return
ed to Washington to confer with
officials concerning details of
peace and reconstruction in Eu-
rope and indicated that because
of advanced years he would be
glad to lay down the official bur-
den he had carried throughout
the war. He placed before Pres
ident Wilson at long White
House conference a final report
on conditions in Europe and soon
q fterward left the service. Much
Of his time thereafter was spent
n study and occasional writing.
He made his home in Washing
ton, but recently bought his
house with the intention Of
Spending his time in Virginia.
Although the services he per-
formed as Ambassador at Rome
in the trying years were of great
value to the government, Mr.. q
Page was perhaps best known
for his literary productions whlc h
had won for him name both at /
nome and abroad long before he d
accepted the diplomatic appoint i

aleut which especially endeared
