VERIFY OR DENY THE CHARG?
ES.
Quitto a muss, (we were about to
write "scandal"), and fuss is being
made over n charge that convicts in
the Virginia penitentiary nrc cruelly
treated, lashed, stretched on crosses,
etc., etc. Dr. Dudley, President of the
Prisoners Relief Society, made specif?
ic charges a week ago again.it the
management of the penitentiary in a
letter to Governor Davis, charging
that great cruelty and very severe
.punishment was inflicted upon pris?
oners, even old and inlrm men, for
infactions of prison rule* A thoroug t
investigation sho ild be made. Any j
raun who will, by force or otherwise, I
have a man chained and tied and j
stretched on a cross or over a bar-1
rel, and lash his bare back with a [
whip, is an arrant coward and the law
which he .s obeying for a money con-1
sidcration is a brutal, inhuman law
and a ?isgraee to any civilized com
raonwealth. I: should not be po^iddr
for such laws to i c passed, and if
passed, t'< lind tuen inhuman enough j
to execute them, li me Governor
doesn't take sorn- steps to verify or
deny these sensational charges, then
?well, he will hear from the people
"back home."
THE IRISH PROBLEM.
"i am in favor of Home Rule for j
Ireland. The Irish-Americans are foi
it, fill '. President Wilson should see tu
it thai England accedes to the. wishes
of the Irish people."
This is about the way a citizen of
this community expressed himself re?
cently in this office. Without claiming
any special knowledge of the ques
tion, thig we know to be true. Ire
laud's trouble is social and religious
and not political at ail. Protestant
Irelnnd declines to become the ser?
vants and chattels of Catholic Ireland
and the Roman Catholics are large?
ly in the majority in Southern Ire?
land, whose head and boss is the Pope
of Rome. Long ago Ireland would
have bad Home rule but foi : '. :
that any legislation that would please
the Protestant districts would be op?
posed by the Catholic district . and
vice versa. Irresponsible propagan?
dists nrv constantly trying to stir
up strife between the United States
and England on this Home Rule mat?
ter. England should not be I lamed
for u religious feud in Irelaiid, and
us a matter of fact, cannot, as. a sep?
arate state or nation, grant Home
Rule. As every intelligent man
knows, there is no such nation as
England. There is Great Britain,
which means England, Scotland and
Ireland and Wales. England has no
separate King or Parliament. Great
Brituin has a King end Parliament.
Then why continually arraign Eng?
land? Why, except for political rea?
sons, arraign the world again.'t Eng?
land? Why not include Scotland,
Wales and Ireland also'. What has
President Wilson or the United States
got to do with the mix' p of Protest?
ants and Catholics. President Wilson
declares that each nation, howevei
small, should have that form of gov?
ernment it desires. If Ireland cat!
agree and decide what she wants six
will no doubt get it. But so long us
the Pope of Rome determines to dom?
inate Protestant Ireland there v.ill be
a fight and there ought to be. As be?
tween t'ne rule of the King of Great
Britain and his Holiness sensible
Irishmen and Americans as well, will
choose the former.
"Germany will soon repent of hav?
ing overthrown the monarchy," says
Kaiser Bill. As WO understand it thc
G.errniins had considerable help in the
overthrowing business. And if the
truth were known William, and the
thousands like him are confidently
hoping and expecting the re-establish
rnent of tin1 monarchy, with himself
again tile lead of affairs.
The President seems to ignore the
Senate and this made the Senators
mad, and, to get even, they arc try?
ing to prove to themselves that the
League of Nations is a bad thing,
and thon prove this to the people.
Some of these critics are honest and
sermo criticisms no doubt have some
weight "but most of them are so shnl
io.v that it ii hard to believe they arc
sincerely meant."
Jaok Johnson and .less Willard are
welcomed back in t'ne limelight. They
are abusing each' other i:i all sorts of
black-guarding, and both of them arc
so doubt telling tho truth.
"Give the Bolshevist his due."?
Exchange. Hurry up while the .sup?
ply of hemp is ample.
I Senator Cummins says the League
Of Nations would DO a "polygyut ami
incoherent." Sounds like a trip to
Baltimore.?Washington Post.
I
Senator Borah suggests the Repub?
lican battle-cry "Save the Republic."
Against this the Democrats' slogan
should be "Save the World."
FOUR LEAF CLOVERS.
I know a place .vhere the sun is like
gold
And the cherry blooms burst lorth
with snow,
And down underneath is the loveliest
nook
Where the four-leaved clovers grow
One leaf is for Hope and one is for
Faith,
And one is for Love, you know;
Rut God put another one in for Luck,
If you search you will lind where
they grow.
Rut you must have Hope and you
must have Faith.
You must Love and he strong, and
so
If you work, if you writ, you will find
thv place
Where the four-leaved clovers grow

(She Speaks of a Friend from Home.)
"I'm tired?too tired to live,
To sleep or to laugh or to cry!
I have given them all 1 can give.
And yet I'm too busy to die!
"I'm tired?too tired to move.
My head and my hands and my soul
Too weary to hate or to love.
To stimulate, soothe or console.
I'm tired of crutches ami cane?,
Of bandages, medicine, dope,
Of doctors ami dressings nhd pains,
Of sympathy, even of hope!
Of letters to open and read.
From sisters or sweetheart or wife;
The others, that question and plead,
Wili haunt me the rest of my life.
''ai tired of striplings untamed?
Tl ey laugh, and vou love and they
die!?
Of the scarred and the blind and the
maimed,
And of forcing myself not to cry!
It's the life of a dog or a slave.
This salving the wreckage of war;
You talk of 'our glorious Brave,'
But we, ah, we know what they are!
"Do I 'like it'?this game 1 must play '.'
Does a doom-haunted nrisoner sing
. . . Don't listen?I'm tired today?
He quiet?yes, that was my ring...
'No. Doctor,quite rested?What. Dan?
Not red-headed Dan from Duluth!

She ran.
For such is our Kingdom of Youth!

.MEMOIR.
Miss Mattie Frances, daughter of
M.\ and Mrs. John A. Vernon, of
Bandy, Vs., was horn Sept. 13, 1894;
died March 7. 1919, age 24 years, :>
months and 24 days. This is the first
time tha' death has invaded thtir- good
ho.o Her brother, the Rev. Will
Vernon, is a useful minister of the
gospel, now in charge of a church in
Bluefield district. Another brothel;
was in France when last heard from.
All the family but he were at the fu?
neral.
Miss Mattie was a member of the
Methodist church at Randy from ear?
ly girlhood and adorned her profes?
sion nhout seven years ago, she ob?
tained n larger and more satisfactory
experience, wich gave her much joy
and real peace of mind. No one who
knew her would ever call in question
the purity and Saintliness of her life.
She loved her Bible, and devoted much
time to its careful perAisal. The time
spent in reading and' meditating up?
on it is a constant rebuke to many
who make greater pretensions to the
acquirement of knowledge ttann did
she. It was her habilf to,read the Bi?
ble, all of it, through cv/ce each year.
She had n frail bodyt the result of
a painful injury receivcll in childhood.
Her physical powers ctvMd not be re?
garded as altogether new?11!, but she
had a bright intellect i I'd took pride
in doing fancy crochet /ork. She was
industrious, so far lip her strength
would permit. She todk great delight
in performing the lie|hter household
duties. She mny truthfully be re?
garded ns the favorite oY a larp-e fam?
ily of which she was a member. No
a! her one in that hntjne would be
missed so much n<: will whe, for Mat?
tie was always at homeV. More than
any other of the children,, she was the
1 constant compr.nion of Inf r mother.
She was deeply interAted in the
work of the i irch. Shi requested
that the revivals be held in good
weather, so that she could attend.
That most dp adcd scourge of mod?
em tines, influenza, claimed her a
victim. Her funeral was conducted
by her pastor, ::nd we buried her
body iti nope of the resurrection, in
the Vcrnon Cemetery to sleep until
the trumpets blast shall awake those
who sleep in Jesus; then we shall con?
fidently expect to see her again.
She loved musi:. A; an evidence
she composed the song which, by
request, is inserted in this sketch. It
is as fosllows:
"I Long to Co Home."
1 long to go to the city bright above,
Where sorrow can never come.
To that happy land of joy, peace and
love,
To my Saviour's happy home.
CHORUS:
I long, oh how I long to go home!
To that land free from sorrow and
care,
Yes, 1 long to go, and my Savior bids
me come,
And Eternal life I'll gain.
.My Savior has gone my home to pre?
puce.
He is coming again for me.
My loved ones now are waiting there.
And their beckoning hands 1 see.
I long to go to the Savior divine
And be with Him forever more;
There the King in His beauty forev?
er will shine.
I will my dear Savior adore. *
I long to go home and be at rest,
In my Father's home so bright,
There I will ever be happy and blest,
And there will be no night.

HALRERT DAVIS HILLS.
Halbert Davis H?ls was born Feb?
ruary 1, 1872, in Marshall county,
Iowa. In 1878 his parents brought
west in 1802, the family settled in
Oregon. Hi' father died soon after,
and be, being the eldest child, spent
thi years of hi--, young manhood in
helping his mother care for the chil?
li re n.
Throughout all bis life generosity
seems to have been his distinguishing
characteristic.
In -S!>8, he joined the Baptist church
at Fossil, Oregon.

Miss Maggie Bnkcr, who had come
west from Lofollettc, Tennessee.
For many years his health had been
poor, but in all his periods of suffer?
ing, and they wore many, he remem?
bered toe ask help where help may
he found when human aid lias failed.
He was a dutiful son an ell'ectinnate
brother and a hind, most indulgent
husband. Kind hearted, generous in
all the relations of life, self-sacrific?
ing, preferring others before him?
self always, we seldom see his like.
His death on March C> followed a
serious surgical operation.
Those surviving to mourn their loss
are his wife, his aged mother, the

A NERVOUS WRECK
From Three Years' Suffering. Says
Cardui Made Her Well.
Texas City, Tex.?In an interesting
statement, iMts.G. H. Schill, of this town,
says: "For three years I suffered uatold
egony with my head. I was unable to
do any of my work.
I just wanted to sleep all the time, lor
that was the only ease I could get, when
I was asleep. I 'became a nervous wreck
j just from the awful suffering with my
' head.
I I was so nervous that the least noise
would make me jump out of my bed. I
had no energy, and was unable to do
I anything. My son, a young boy, had to
do all my household duties.
I I was not ?.blc to do anything until I
I took Cardui. I took three bottles in all,
i and it surely cured me of those awful
j headaches. That has been three years
ago, and I k.:ow the cure is permanent,
for 1 have nerver had any headache since
taking Cardui. . .
Nothing r.?ievcd me until I took Cardui.
It did wonders for me."

entire road surface, including the
shoulders, at least in dry weather
should be used with the view of avoid?
ing az much ns possible this oLj..
tionablo propensity. Thus will our
roads wear evenly, prevent to great
extent the inclination to drop in hole:
or ruts, which obstruct proper drain?
age and cause water to soak into the
road, greatly to its injury. We are nil
aware how important and expensive
a feature is ihe maintenance of our
good roads; let us apply willingly,
therefore, since it is to our interest, if
for no other reason, one of the reme?
dies for their economical use.
Respectfully,
G. A. MARTIN,
County Road Engineer.
