The Republican Pas a gr>mch. In fact it has been nursing it for some time, and wants to get rid of 't before Thanks? giving day. Every once in a whil? BOOM one says, as we i -appose they s*y to every local paper in the cour.1 ry : "Wl y don't you " give it to the mail ord- r houses? They are taking all the money out of the country. Why. our i.osm.asters and express agents say tbe amount they send away to catalogue houses is simply enormous." All right! Let's give it to the mail order houses, and a; a c ncrete example let us take the one backed by the Ni tional Government. It may be news to eorr.-:. but it is a fact, that for one mail or?er house the Government performs the following service absolutely free: Advertises, solicits, delivers the goods, collects the money, takes care of the fee for return of the money, pays the transportation charges on the goods from factory to consumer. Is there a store ir. the town that could meet this competition? Hardly! And yet some of our storek?*rpt r> encourage the Government in continuing to fur? nish this service free to a gigantic mo? nopoly. We refer, of course, to the printed envelopes furnished by an Ohio con? tractor, to whom the Government fur? nishes all the before mentioned service free. Something over a year ago. when Congress was about to abolish this monopoly, petitions wer9 circulated in every city, town and hamlet to allow the monopoly to continue How many of the merchants, opposed to the maii order business, signed it? Honest, now, di in't you, Mr. Merchart? Why should not, the Government go farther? If a woman wants a silk dress pattern, why should not the postmaster take her order, send to some other city for it, deliver it, collect the money, and remit to the maker in the distant city? Or, why. if you want a box of oranges, should he not send your order to Florida or California, as you prefer, and have the Government pay the exp-ess charges to your home town? That is the competitio-i that is put up to the publishers, and yet they are ex? pected to give their tin?*, end space in their papprs, to boom thiir home towns and encourage buying at horn ?. Take this town. There are few who realize that the printirg ir.iiustry fur? nishes employment to more men than any other industry in the town, and the publishers are constantly at work for the upbuilding of both our town and county, and yet some of the biggest orders for printing are going away from the town. As to the advertising done by our lo? cal merchants?but thati-i another story and more will be said about it later. Now, Mr. Merchant and Mr. Man, in? terested in the upbuilding of our little city, before you again approach the newspapers and ask them to "bit the mail order houses," ask yourself if you are doing what you should in the way of doing your own buy ihr at home. If you are doing your share to support the papers you ask to contribute so gener? ously to the upbuilding of your home town ; and if you cannot answer in the affirmative, then shake yourself to? gether and begin now. Just imagine a town and surrounding community of our population, without a paper, and ask yourself if the ones you have are not worthy of better support than they have been given. THE FIRST RESULT. The first tangible result of Wilson's m* ?victory was an immense demonstration If held in Manila, P. I., celebrating his election to the presidency. Ten thous? and Filipinos paraded the streets and twenty thoanjand gathered at the sea boulevard. Luneta. Those participat? ing in the parade carried banners with the words: "Immediate Independence," and all of the speeches bore on the sub? ject. Emelio Auginaldo, the former insurgent leader, made hie first public appearance since the insurrection. Many a brave soldier boy servirg his country in the Philippines will be hu? miliated by the little brewn men in their zeal to celebrate the fact that they think the "little Americars" have won a victory. The real Americans must get together snd not let the personal ambitions of lead- rs divide them. 6ET TOGETHER. "The facts all seem to prove what many people have forgotten, that the great republican quarrel of 1912 was neither moral nor econom? ic nor religious, but wholly person? al. One wing refused Mr. Taf?'s leadership. The other wing re? jected Mr. Rocsevelt's leadership There is hardly another question on which they cannot come into sub? stantial agreement, just as they have in the past. "?New York World. Sure! The only difference this year was the personal ambition of would-be leaders. There is no reason why the great rank and file of the party cannot now again get together on the questions that have made the party great, suci? as: Protection, preservation of Ameri? can institutions, preservation of al. American territory and preventing th-. pulling down of the American flag wher ever it has been raised. Progress?the republican party being the true party of progress since its inception, and needs no qualifying adjective to show thie fact. In fact, as the World says, there is no vital question between the two wings of republicans, and all the rank and file need to do is to get together and get rid of the leaders, who do not get in line for the true principles of th? party. IT IS TO LAU6H. "Republican newspapers are busy paving fulsome tributes to the de? feated candidates of their party and prophesying calamity, disaster and ruin. And the donkey just laughs. ?Bristol Herald Courier. Of course he laughs. Being an ass it is his nature, and by the same token this is why he is the emblem of the democratic party. SHALL WE 60 BACK? Now that the election is over let u:; have an answer as to what has become of the? Layman's Movement; Civic Improvement League; Children's Play Ground Movement? Tazewell is at the parting of the ways. It cannot longer remain stationary. It is go ahead or go back. Which shall it I be? "And still the wonder is that Gov? ernor Mann fails to appoint the members of the Normal board. Not that the school suffers by reasons of the delay, ; but that it is a public duty, which should have been discharged many months ! past," is the complaint of the Farmvillt correspondentof the Appomattox Times Virginia. And the institutions of higher learn? ing in the state suffer while the Gover? nor plays petty politics. What are you going to do about it? -??*. The President's Thanksgiving procla? mation breathes the spirit of thankful? ness. There is no cause to question the sincerity of his feelings in sending forth such a document at this time. Disap? pointed he may be in the outcome of the recent election, but that does not and should not affect the gratitude he feels, in common with all his country? men, for the manifold blessings this na? tion has received during the year. He is a poor kind of citizen that lets a po? litical defeat sour his temper. It is only a question of time when the business man who makes yearly inroads upon his capital comes to grief. Usually the man who acts so unwisely is he who in a spirit of false economy refuses to advertise or does it so slightly that scarcely anyone knows what he keeps upon his shelves. The man of true busi? ness instinct knows full well that liberal and attractive advertising pays in every way. Such expenditure, judging from results, is true economy, and he who practices it adds to his capital instead of iiving upon it year after year. The idea of planting trees by the roadside ought to become popular. There is everything in its favor. Our forests have been entirely destroyed in many sections and in others it is but a question of a short time at ne rate the timber is being cut dov/r. For that reason it i3 the part of wisdom to re? plenish the supply in every conceivable way. Then, too, rows of trees by the roadside afford welcome shade and j shelter, besides protecting the roads in > the stormy winter time.

The present form of ballot for con? stitutional amendments in Virginia is altogether inadequate. In fact, our system of submitting proposed changes ir. the organic law to the el.ctorate is insufficient, because there is no correct and complete method by whi.-h the peo? ple can be informed as to what they are voting upon and what are the argu? ments on both sides of the ??sue to be decided. Thousands of voters yester? day doubtless balloted upon the consti? tutional amendments with the scuntest possible knowledge of what effect the changes would have if passed; many others refrained from voting altogeth? er because they lacked any informa? tion as to the amendments. If the vo? ters had been adequately informed, the ret-ult would have been more intelli? gently reached. So vital a matter as a change in the supreme law of the state ought not to be wrought in confusion, misinterpretation, m i s u nderstanding and ignorance. * * * In the election yesterday there were thousands of vo? ters who were totally uninformed of the i.-sues for their decision and the ar? guments for and against their action." ?

The doctrine of Apostolic Succession starte?! in the second century A. I). The bishops claimed that they had the same authority that Jesus gave to the twelve A|Njstles. L'ikiii this claim they ordained the inferior clergy. This principle is wholly- unscrlptural. According to the Bible, the Church of Christ is not coinpi>s?-d of two parts, clergy a ml laity. Jesus declared. "All ye are brethren; One Is your Master. Christ." St. I'aul shows that In the early Church the miuisa-rs were the servants of the flock. They were of the people, chosen by them by the stretching forth of the hand. Many of the reformers coveted the titles accorded the Cnrthollc clergy. They did not enre to tell the congre? gation that Its word was supreme, and that its ministers were merely Its serv? ants. Others, realizing that these ti? tles were unscrlptural. declined to use them: preferring to t*o called pastor.
