A bill authorizing counties to
issue bonds for the purpose Of work
ing permanentroads or macadamiE-
ed pixies is now pending and it
ought to pass. As the law is nov
construed counties have no authority
to issue bonds for such a purpose,
and this law if it passes, will go a
long ways towards making better
roads everywhere. OF course the
bonds cannot be issued unless the
people vote for them. Mason
county is one of the greatest suf-
ferers in the State from bad roads,
and when this new law goes into
effect there will be chance for i'm .
provement In that direction. The
proposed law is one of the best of
fered at this session.

Politeness is an attainment and It
is within every ones reach. It's
not a natural so much as eultiva-
ted disposition or habit It is one
of the fine fruits of education. Il
grows in nature as the result of cnl-
ture. 1t is not some external polish
put on for special occasions as ne
put on our best suits to meet With
the "Blue Jays" It is something
worked into character. It must be.
come by training part of the man
ner- In this respect many make q
mistake by trying to be polite when
occasion requires It and be anything
but polite at other times. It can
not be used as a mask over an Inn
polite nature. Itis a real quality
of character.
There is much rudeness and val
garity in common society which 4

ooneirously. There is also much of
it which We tolerate Intentionally.
We do not regard politeness as We
should. We dot not think it worthy
of universal attention, Some be-
lieve it is intended for very nice
people and not of much value to
those who have to deal with the
rough world. But this is mistake.
Because We have to deal with tho
roug world is one reason for our
being polite. These very nice peo-
pie are not much with the world.
1t must be remembered that po-
liteness makes friends. 1t has
friendly ways. One who is polite
makes you feel that he is your
friend. Politeness is actuated by
friendship. Polite and friendly in.
tercourse enriches society and gives
us higher ideal of the same.
1t is said the Japanese make no
distinction between politeness and
morals. 1t is goodness and virtue.
in their eyes. This is due to the
fact that it is taughtin their schools.
There was time when one-half Of
their text books were on the sub
ject of etiquette. It is because it is
so little valued that SO many give
no heed to it. Some persons go
through life with manners that are
a disgrace to them.
They, of course, have an idea of
something better but are not willing
to make the effort necessary to at
tain it. Their associates are Just as
rude as they are and they seem en-
barrassed when forced into polite
society.
We do not learn politeness at
college. If we did there would be
great increase of polite people
because there are a great many coll
lege graduates in our country.
1t is true that we attend too little
to the culture of an agreeable social
life. A selfpossessed and polite
young man in pursuit of employ
ment will be more successful than
one who is impolite, although the
latter may be just as well qualified
otherwise to fill the position. If
we would give more attention to re-
inement and less TO evil thinking,
impolite conversation, etc, the
world would be worth more to us.
There are many pleasures for the
polite and refined of which the per.
sons ofboorish manners knows moth.

The vote for U. S. Senator, in
Joint session resulted in the election
of Hon. S B. Elkins, the Repub
lican caucus nominee. The Demo-
cratic vote was cast for Hon. j. N.
Camden. West Virginia will now
have the first Republican Senator in
twenty years. We believe the hon
or has fallen upon worthy should

an excellent and influential Senator.
1t is now time for Democrats to
cease their criticisms of Mr.. Elkins,
for he is as much the Senator of
Democrats as he is of the Republi-

feature, being much above the aver
age of music carried by male voices
The effect was due to the sweet voice
of Miss Bertha Gibbs, whose clear
soprano could be distinctly heard
above the strong male voices of the
choir. Mr.. Howard received many
compliments on his address of the
evening, and all visitors expressed
themselves as being we'll pleased

latter the incoming chief officer,
both of whom presided at different
times during the evening, discharg-

If the secretary of the treasury
were to pay out silver instead of
gold for treasury notes the drain of
gold would cease with a suddeness
equal to a dull thud. There is no
other possible scheme whereby the
gold in the treasury can be main
tanned without interruption. The
interchange of money must go on,
but the right to protect the treasury
from the raids of the speculating
bankers is absolutely necessary to
protect the treasury from emptiness,
and the only protection there can
be is a power in the department to
pay in exchange any or either of
the coin moneys of the country.
