YOUNG DEMOCRACY.
Great Demonstration in the Eighth
Senatorial District.
Special to the Register.

Special to the Register.
ANDERSON, w. Va, August 26.-
The young Democratic first voters turn
ed out i'll full force in Monroe county
at Union on August "A.
Arrangements had been previously
made by the committee for great rally
of young Democrats of the county. and
when the day arrived the turnout OF
young Democrats who this year will
cast their maiden suffrage, was greater
than any one had expected.
To the Democracy and those IN sym
pathy with its principles, it was day
full to the brim with hope and sun
shine, but to the Republicans who are
trying, by the aid of Mr.. Elkins' check
book, to carry the county in the fall,
it came like a Dakota blizzard
The recent letter of Mr.. Elkins to
Census Supervisor E. l.. Dunn, in which
he stated that $500 check had been
sent via Republican candidate for the
legislature, he aroused a great deal of
indignation among the Democratic
ranks in Monroe, and they seem de-
termined to show Mr.. Elkins that con-
science and not money will win in Mon
roe.
Each district in the county was well
represented at the rally, and able adj
dresses were made by Hon. Robert E.
Lee, Jr., and Dr. William H. McClung,
Democratic candidate for the State SEN
ate.
A good dinner was served free to all
by the ladies of the town, and an OBJ
server remarked that if the voters
would vote as they ate, there would be
no question Of the success of the Dem
ocratic ticket this fall.
After the speaking a Young Mems
Bryan Liberty League was formed with
good lot Of workers as officers. This
league promises to do effective work
this campaign.
The Republicans are trying every
scheme to beat the Monroe county
ticket and also elect their State Sena-
tor, but at the present time the
chances are largely against them.
E. H. Fitch and c. T. Caldwell, Re
publican orators, made speeches in
Anderson Saturday with but little eff
| feet
Hon. John T. McGraw and Daniel E.
Johnston are billed to address the DEM
ocratic voters at Hinton Monday.

the dispatch from Che Foo, Is open 10
doubt; and it is decidedly problematic-
al, it is said, whether the invitation
would be accepted, even if it were ten

In China protecting the personal and

try and in addition the treaty rights
of the United States. Under the most
favored nations clause, this country
has
Certain specific Rights
in China, and it is said on authority
to be the purpose of the United States
to protect and preserve those rights.
The attitude this government would
assume in the event CT declaration
of war by another power would de-
pend, it can be stated, upon the imme-
diate circumstances surrounding the
declaration and the situation in China
at the time the declaration was made.
In any event, it can be said to be no
part of tae purpose of the United States
TO sacrifice any of its guaranteed rights
or priviles in the Chinese empire.

HOW JOHN BRANDON
Saved Railroad Charter From
Lapsing for Seven Years.

Lapsing for Seven Years.
Special to the Register
CLARSBURG, w Va, August &C.
The passing of the property and fran
chises of the West Virginia and Penn
sylvania Railroad into the hands of
the Baltimore and Ohio, which has
just been announced by Ex-senator
Camden, recalls the story of the man
who worked for seven years construct
ing a roadbed for this line and never
got mile OF it completed Every
day in all the seven years old John
Brannon, with his pick and shovel,
could be seen in Fairmont, digging
away at the roadbed Sometimes,
after he had dug up lot of earth, he
would bring his horse and cart into
service and haul dirt for a day or
two, but more often he would use 4
wheelbarrOw to carry away the dirt.
The route of the railroad lay along a
hillside in the town of Fairmont, and
as fast as he would get a nice bench
graded down and leveled off, a storm
or rain would come UP and wash
lot of dirt down upon his roadbed, and
he would have to start over again.
And so he worked for seven years,
and in all that time less than a mile of
road has been graded. Brannon was
everything on the road-chief engi-
neer section boss, day laborer mule
driver, and everything else about the
road except the president and attor-
ney. Richard Lowndes, of Clarksburg,
was president and principal owner of
the road and it was one of the re-
quirements in the charter of the road
that work on the road should be be-
gun within a certain time after the
charter was issued, and that whenever
work should cease On the road, the
charter should be forfeited. Old John
and his wheelbarrow kept the charter
alive by their daily work upon the
road, and got to be one of the IA
nous things of Fairmont. He worked
faithfully, but his work was not hard,
and his hours were not long, for there
was no boss over him, and no one
cared how much or how little he ac-
complished so long as he never missed
a day. The sale Of the road to the B.
& o. shuts out the Pennsylvania road
from central West Virginia unless it
comes in by some other route.

Hams Fool Age.

A medical man has discovered that
neither In youth nor old age is n man
likely to make the biggest fool of him.
self Extreme youth usually is con-
sidered not to have arrived at the dig
uity of years of discretion, yet home
ly proverb would have us believe that
"there is no fool like an old fool" This
medical observer has broached the the
ory that there is an alteration period
of middle life," between the ages OF 81
and~62 "If," he says, 'a careful ex-
animation be made of the preventihle
disasters of the last 20. years and Of
the ages CT those who were held re-
sponsible by the verdict Of mankind
for such lamentable issues, there will
be found a strange coincidence in the
range Of their ages"
Here is an interesting and practically
inexhaustible field for investigation.
Politicians who are "agin the govern
mentT may trace the blunders Of an
administration to the sinister influence
Of some boss who was passing through
the fatal period at the time, and ire
grettable Incidents" Of all kinds, In
war or peace, may be traced to their
| true origin. In time no doubt we
shall appreciate the necessity Of re-
quiring all public men, on entering the
fatal period, to take a Ave years holi-
day and 10 resume work only when
they have passed the age OF alteration.

1T is only a short time now till
congress convenes and if the peo-
pile OF the Territory expect to Sc
cure any remedial legislation some
steps should be taken toward
properly presenting their claims.
The needs are more urgent now il
possible than last winter and the
people should take some, action in
their own behalf. A convention
similar to that of last February
would seem to be the most practi-
cable course to pursue. The aei-
tation OF statehood or Territorial
government should be renewed
with each recurring session Of
congress until something has been
accomplished. Congressman are
still ignorant of conditions here.
