Mr.. S. Fl. Higginbotham, of Wheat
land, Jefferson Co., independent can.
didate for State Senator against Mr..
Knott, also of Jefferson, is man of
good standing and high moral char
acter,-yery popular even among
the Democrats of Jefferson, and his
election would be sending a man to
the Senate who for once could tend
to other business than political
scheming in the interest of the Unit
ed States Senators, railroads or
funding eight million debt (Which
w. Va. does not owe) at 5 per cent
for thirtytre years,-a soft snap for
money men but death to the tax
payers.

Many people speak OF Canada as
very small place. They do not
know that it is larger than the Unit
ed States. Its area is 100000
square miles, while that OF our coun.
try is 3,025,510 square miles. Only
by counting the 577 800 square miles
of Alaska can we get ahead Of our
northern neighbor in extent. In
everything else, of course, we are
considerably ahead. Canada, for
instance, has only about one-tenth
of our population, and less than one
tenth of our revenue.

Says the Parkersburg journal
B. Stops, who lives at PettyvilIe, on
the lower side of the Kanawha. was
the owner, until yesterday, of val
liable calf, but alas. that calf is no
more. An old setting hen, which
Mr.. Stops also owns, attacked that
calf, which, by the way, was six
weeks old and big for its age, and
actually killed it. The old hen
scratched the calls eyes out, picked
at it and worried it until the. poor
thing succumbed to the inevitable
and gave up the ghost. This should
be a warning to all farmers and
stock raisers to keep their calves
and chickens in separate pens; or
the calves might be put in the chick.

The Shepherdstown Register is
splitting hairs on the Mills Bill, the
slip ola Republican pen putting coal
on the free list. The Register, along
with Democratic papers, hasn't yet
told its readers that the Mills Bill
makes wool, lumber, salt, vegetables,
and hundreds of other things which
West Virginia can raise and produce,
FREE of any import duty, thus al.
lowing foreigners the same chances in
our markets as our own people
though Europe pays none of our taxes
and does not help to keep up our in
stitutions. The full meaning of FREE

West Virginia interests. Let these
papers enlighten their own readers
and explain to them why rice and

POOR LAWYERS OR A WEAK CASE!

Hons. w. l.. Wilson and w. ID.
Bynum came out in cards denying
the charge of Mr.. James A. Camp
bell, of the Pittsburg Glass Workers
Association and X. of L., that they
should have SAID 1915 "a month was
good enough Wages,"-denied 10
most emphatically as "a bottomless
falsehood in erery respect"
Bottomless means without any
foundation whatever.
Now read Hon. w. L. Wilson'S
letter, dated Washington, d. c.,
Sept. 81, 49," published in the Regis.
ter and other Democratic papers.
There he as distinctly admits that
1915 a month +" aoGs talked about,
but in connection with farm labor.
Then how could it have been " bot.
tomless tdlsehoOd ?" There was some
ground there he admits, but it was
farm qcages or labor and not shop or
factory labor as might be inferred
Pray, where and when did Mr.
Campbell specify achat kind of labor
aoas meants
Mr.. Wilson quotes his own words
in the interview with Mr.. Campbell,
on farm labor, us follows -
"Take farm products as an exam.
pie: the price of farm staples has
been declining for years, but the wag.
eS of the farm laborer is about as
good with wheat at 80 cents as it
was at S1.50." "No opin.
ion was expressed or called for from
us as to theSufficiency of these wag-
es, or any allusion made to S15 a
month except in the connection above
Stated."-W. l.. WILSON.
[The italics are our own.
The S15 month charge Of Mr..
Campbell 4" is bottomless falshood
in every Respectfully. l.. WILSON.
Bott0mless =" except in the comnec-
ton abore stated"
Mr.. Bynum says: Mr.. Campbell" is
a wilful liar and perjurer."
Lawyers on the same case should
always compare notes and see that
their own constr uction has not a self.
evident contradiction that knocks the
bottom completely out of the "bot.
tomless theory,-no fourth term
delusion.
Another thing: Every farmer
knows that when wheat sold for
$3.50 and 50, harvest hands got from
$3.50 to 50 day, and none less
than 81 for any work. But when
wheat came down to less than 81
and corn less than so cents, labor
came down TO as low as so cents a
day. The fact is, they couldn't af,
ford to pay more. Mr.. Wilson as a
representative of the farmers and
laborers of this district, voting as he
did against the agricultural bill, the
oleomargarine bill, and for the Nor
rison horizontal bill, the Mills free
wool bill, should say as little as pos
sible about the farmers and laborers
and their wages and preserve his
scholarly dignity.

The most important feature in the
produce markets has been the .specu-
lative corner in wheat in Chicago that
has carried prices up beyond all reas-
on. The inspiration for this move
ment was centered wholly in Chicago,
where speculative clique succeeded
in cornering the available spot supply,
and accordingly was in a position to
force the bears to settle at any price
it saw fit to dictate.
There is nothing in the statistical
position of supplies, or in the crop sit
uation, to warrant the prices now cur
rent for wheat, and the fact that quo
tations in these markets are above
those cabled from European markets
points to the pernicious results that
are likely to be experienced from this
speculative deal, which is being up
held at the expense of our export
trade, and actually making a market
for the product of other wheat grow
ing countries. If there were to be no
-exportable surplus here, and the con-
sumption of the country could take
all the crop will yield, the events of
the past week would be of less signifi-
canoe, but we are sellers of wheat,
and with a laage surplus to be mark
eted are Offering foreign buyers a
premium to supply their wants in
other quarters.

Gambling In wheat is as bad as
gambling for money. 1t should be

The spectators run up the price OF
wheat like the real estate sharks run
up the price of houses and lots in

and the rest lose. Probably no wheat
is actually handled (delivered,) but
the bidding or betting is on the mar
gins,-rise or alias stakes. "Cor-
ners in any produce or provisions
should be strictly prohibited by law,
the same as trusts" and it must be
strange if such laws can not be pass.
