Dear Sir Perhaps you are going
to paint your house, and don't be-
lieve in Devoe & Reynolds. Well
make you an offer:
Paint half your house lead and oil F.;
the other half Devoe lead and zinc.
In three years the lead and oil
will be hungry for paint; the Devoe
& Reynolds half will turn water as
we'll as when new.
If not, our agent will standby this
"If you have any fault to find with
this paint, either now in the painting
or hereafter in the wear, tell your
dealer about it.
"We authorize him to do what is
right at our expense.
Devoe & Reynolds lead and zinc
holds color better than lead; turns
water twice as long.
Yours truly,

The Amendments.

very toW-ot our poopto are per-
haps aware of the fact that q num-
Der of constitutional amendments
are to be voted on at the regular
election in this State next month,
And of those informed of the fact
still smaller number is aware of
the meaning of the particular
amendments they are expected to
adopt. ~ {
One or two of the amendments
are SO lily worded that it is difficult
to comprehend the purpose their
trainers had in view,if anything
in particular. And because of in.
defipiteness all of them should be
defeated.
A registration law has long been
required in West Virginia. some.
what similar to the law in relation
to that subject in many other
states, but the one presented to the
people of this state is an extreme
proposition, and requires the doing
of what is wholly unnecessary
The amendment proposed on this
subject says that the Legislature
shall provide for the registration
of "All the voters of the State
Such proposition is preposter.
Gus. In no state is the registration
of voters considered necessary, nor
are they. registered, except in the
cities and towns. To require the
registration of voters in the rural
communities is putting upon the
people a burden of time lost and
expense that would be intolerable.
Requiring the farmers to take q
day, or a part of a day, from their
work to go to remote school
house and be registered and again
to go the polls on election Gay is
entirely needless. Besides it would
cost at least $4,000 every election
year to carry out the work of reg.
istering all the voters of the state.
The registration of voters in the
cities and in the towns on the Dor
der ought to be required, but to
require it of the farming popula-
ton is nonsense. The proposed
amendment leaves no option with
the law making power to discrim-
mate between cities and strictly
rural localities. All are classed
alike. This amendment should be
defeated. - Parkersburg Sentinel,

The jury in the murder case of

verdict last week:
"We, the jury, find the defend

confined in the penitentiary."
This has been an important trial,
and one in which much legal talent

Now is the Time.

Ask your Republican neighbo,
how long he is going to continue
to support corrupt political ma.
chine which is using his party tc
further it's own selfish interests
and which does not consult the
people as to who shall run for of.
fee. Will he vote for a candidate
for Congress who has already en-.
joyed that honor much longer than
he deserves.
Ask him further if he is going to
stand by the few gentlemen in this
county who permitted just such
names to be used in the Republi.
can party primary as were accepta-
BILE to them and no others.
Ask him if he is going to sup
port weak men for office in order
that the schemes of designing po-
iticians may be promoted
Ask him if he approves of the
leadership of the Mason county
Republicans at the present time,
and if he is willing to strengthen
that leadership with his vote.
Ask him if he is satisfied with
what that leadership has done and
with the nominations dictated,
Ask him if it is not his duty TO
rebuke the work of the machine
element at the election this fall by
casting his vote for those candi-
dates that have been named by the
people.
1t strikes us that this is an ex-
cellent and reasonable time for our
Republican neighbors to give en-
phatic expression to their disap-
proval of the bossism and the ma
chine power which has 30 appear
emily gotten into full control of the
Republican party.
