A PROPHET.
Not Without Honor Save in His Own
Country,

W. D. Bynum, OF Indiana, who has
been supporting Mckinley ever since
he got good Federal office, is to
make some more speeches in this
state. Republican papers say that
Bynum's speeches should have great
influence with Democrats. If By
NUNS conversion to the Republican
party would have influence with
Democrats anywhere, why not in his
home State? If he is man Of in
fuenee and standing anywhere it
should be at his home. If his ex-
ample is worth anything it should
be on the people who know him.
But in spite Of these facts there is
no demand for Bynum on the stump
in Indiana There must be some
reason for this. If Bynum's abilities
are not appreciated at his nome, and
his example is worth nothing where
the man is known, neither should
have weight or influence upon strang
ers.

EQUALITY or POLITICS
West Virginia to be Represented In Ma
tional Suffrage Bazaar.

The Woman's Suffrage Associa-
ton OF West Virginia is evincing
keen interest in the national suffrage
bazaar, which opens in New York on
the first Monday of December. Plans
are maturing in this State that will
place the West Virginia booth to be
maintained there on parity with
any Of the exhibits from other Com
monwealths. The idea is to have in
each exhibit for sale such articles
as are manufactured In the State
making the display. Each State
will pay particular attention to ex-
hiniting the works of its native wri-
tiers, and Mrs Annie Caldwell Boyd
chairman OF the State Bazaar Com
mittee, has given the following
books, each Of which contains the
autograph of its author "Brier
Blossoms, by Howard l.. Swisher, Of
Morgantown; .'1dYls Of the Golden
Shore by Hu Maxwell; "In the
Virginias, by Waitman Barbe,
of Morgantown; History OF the Civ
il Governments OF West Virginia"
by HUI Maxwell aud X. K. Fast, of
Morgantown; "Going to College by
w. L. Barbe; Hearts of Gold" by
Prot. J. McHenry Jones. One Of
the interesting articles which will be
donated is large vase, similar to
the one presented to Admiral Dewey
by the people of Wheeling, having
the picture of Susan b. Anthony, the
famous exponent of woman's rights,
burned on it under the glaze 1t is
the gift OF Mrs. Annie Wheat, of
Wheeling, who is an ardent worker
for equality in politics for women
The State Association has for its
president Mrs. Beulah Boyd Richie,
of Fairmont. Harvey w. Harmer,
of Clarksburg, enjoys the unusual
distinction of being vice president.
He was elected to the position as a
compliment to the good work he did
for the sutfragists on number of
occasions. Other officers Of the State
Association are: Corresponding sec
rotary, Mrs. Annie G. Boyd, Wheel
ing; recording secretary, Miss Clara
Reinheimer, Fairmont, treasurer,
Mrs. Mackle G. Holbert, Fairmont;
auditors, Mis-. Georgia G. Clayton,
Of Warrington, and Mrs Belle Nc

number OF teams and laborers from
this section. Work for every man who

now ONE ROAD Is FAVORED.
At one end OF the line the water
taken by the locomotives is highly im-
pregnated with lime, aud at the other
end is the sulphur flow. The acid us
ually spends its destructive efforts on
the lime without reaching the boiler
iron. The differing, annoying and
costly conditions thus equalize and
give the road little trouble.
The Baltimore s. Ohio railroad has
not been similarly favored, and great
deal OF trouble has been experienced
in keeping the yard engines at Rankin

the trouble is always forgotten when
