Emphasizing the leading Issue.

There is no cause for American re-
greet In the fact that the leaders OF the
national Observation-Disclosures are
so fully committed to the services of
the trusts as to sternly forbid Repub-
lican action toward revision of the
tariff.
This stubborn allegiance to the mo-
nopoly combines serves merely to en-
phasize the issue Of the trusts and the
tariff upon which the campaign of
this year and two years hence must be
fought. Logically, also it tends to
increase the chances of Democratic
success in behalf of the people.
There is now certainty in the
popular mind that the Republican
party is absolutely owned by the
trusts. There is an equal certainty
that the power OF the trusts must be
broken if the people are to enjoy the
rights to which they are entitled I'M
der the Constitution. Many of these
rights have already been subscribed in
order that the trusts might possess
greater privileges. Many more will be
sacrificed If the party of the trusts con-
tinues In control of the Government.
A cardinal principle of the Amer
lean Democracy declares in favor OF
equal rights to all and special privil-
eyes to none. This principle controls
the Democratic party in the fight
against the trust and the high tariff
1t will also be the peoples slogan in
the approaching campaigns. The
Republican party itself is working
Republican destruction. The trusts,
the tariff and the party of the trusts
and tariff stand condemned by the
people. A tariff for revenue only will
relieve the people of the trust burden
To secure this relief, the Republican
party must be voted down and out
and the Democratic party placed in
power. st. Louis Republic.

200 COKE OVENS.
Work on Coal Mines Already
Begun Below Delislow

The Siding now Being Built into the
Stimmel Bottom-To be Completed
in so Days-Big Price for Mine Le-
eations-Senator Elkins viii Deyei-
op his Coal at once.
Work on zoo coke ovens to be built
four miles from here in the Decker's
Creek valley, is already under con-
tract. The railroad siding one mile
long connecting with the coal mines
on the Stimmel Bottom has been
commenced and Is to be completed
within so days. Mr.. Mines the en-
gineer for Mr.. Elkins Is here to select
locations for coal mines and coke
ovens.
An exchange has been effected be-
tween Sen. Elkins and the Decker's
Greek Coal Il Coke Company by which
Mr.. Elkins gets control of the coal on
the north side of the creek and the
Decker's creek company that on the
south side. Drift mines will be OPEN
ed by the companies on either side OF
the creek and before the SHOWS of
winter have interfered with the work
the miners will be protected beneath
the hills and mining the black dia-
monds of Morgan district.
The Freeport coal is the seam which
will be mined here. 1t is feet thick
on the north side of the creek and
about feet on the south side. The
Freeport is one OF the best coking
Goals known. The location OF the
mines will be in the Stimmel bottom,
just below Dellslow. 100 acres of
sandy, brushy, bottom land was re-
Gently purchased from Mrs. Stimmel
poor widow woman for $ll, 900.
-Four years ago the land would hardly
have brought $40 an acre.
Work on the coke ovens win be
pushed right along without waiting
for the completion of the railroad sid
ing. Brick for the ovens are being
furnished by the factories here. They
will be hauled up on the M. & K.
road and from the station down TO
the coke ovens on wagons, so as TO
have no delay in getting ready for
operations. By this means the coke
ovens will be well under way by the
time the siding Is completed.
The building of 200 coke ovens will
necessitate the employment OF great
many laborers who will have to be fed
and clothed here, thus making BUSH
ness good throughout all this section.
After the ovens are completed it is
estimated that about 500 men will
have to be employed in the mining Of
coal and in the burning Of COKE.
These, with their families will add
from 1900 to 1000 people to the popu-
lation of Morgantown and Morgan
distries.
The Decker's Creek Company will
open big developments on the south
side of the creek and will ship coal as
well as coke. Great things are in
store for all this county.

SURVEY CONNECTING LINK.
Pittsbnrg Branch of the Ii. Il o. to join
the Main Line near Fairm0nt.

FAIRMoNT, w. Va, August 10
A corps OF civil engineers commenced
this afternoon making survey of the
east side of the river, through the
First ward, for the connecting link Of
the Pittsburg branch Of the B. & o.
about one and one-half miles above
the city. The connection will follow
closely the river bank from where the
Pittsburg branch crosses from the east
side to the point where the connection
is to be made, which is three miles in
length.
The railroad company Is compelled
to do this on account of notice being
served on them by the government,
compelling them to remove their
bridge below this city before the river
is made navigable to this point.
Otherwise the bridge would have to
be raised fourteen feet. A building
will be constructed by the company
on the east side OF the river at this
point to be used as passenger, freight
and express building. Rights OF way
will be secured at once.

for McGraw never does things by

NO CHANGE IN ROUTE 3.
Power to Make Recommendations Taken
From Capt. Parker.

Capt. Chas w. Parker who was to
inspect route no. 3 in the rural free
delivery service from here went out
over that route Tuesday. Wednesday
he inspected route no. 2.
Before Mr.. Parkers arrival here, an
order was issued from the P. o. De-
partment taking from him the power
to make ecommendationsfor changes
ia rural routes. 1t appears to have
been a mistake at the department
Mr.. Smith OF the same department
was going to Berkeley County and an
order was passed giving him jurisdic-
tion over the rural routes there, so he
could make any necessary changes
that might be desirable. BY some
mistake, the order included the whole
district over which Mr. Parker had
Jurisdiction. He will now go over
the routes and look after the efficiency
Of the service etc.
Route no. is entirely too long and
should be changed so part of 1t
could be reached by another carrier
from Cheat Haven.

A Golden Mean.

Young Prof Purinton' of our own
State University, has gone to eating
after living on air and water for
thirty days. He must have been a
great devourer of Pie crust and fried
potatoes, that it took so long 20
work the evil effects of the same
out of his Psychic system.
There is, however, no doubt, "a
useful lesson to be deduceG from
such feats as this by Prof Puunton.
If man can live thirty days on
nothing, the three hearty meals OF
which he partakes every twentv-tonr
hours, as a rule, with liquid refresh
ment thrown in, in many casis, are
a few too many.
One good, square eat a week, with
crackers and milk, say every other
dav, might be the golden mean
which would signify health, haps,i
ness and long misunderstanding

FROST AT HARVEST TIME.
John PoandstOne's Recollection of
the Summer Of 1916 Which Was a
Cool One,

MAsoNTowN, Aug. 13.-The cold
weather followed by some days of ex-
treme heat, has caused some refiec-
tions about the weather of past years
and these reach back as far as 1916.
This was known as "the year without
summer In memory it spread and
leSsened like wave on lake until it
lost its place except ia the mind OF
John Poundstone, now past his ninety
eighth birth day. He recalls the
events of that year with something
OF chill, possibly as he felt it while
harvesting that season when twelve
years old. He says there were frosts
every month in the year and no hot
weather, not even one day. 1t was
so cold that but little of anything
was grown except wheat and one Of
the coolest mornings OF that summer
was when they were cutting wheat
He says they went to the field quite
early-early they meant before sun
up-to make finish of the down
grain. When the sickle was showed
through with one hand and the straw
gathered in the other hand and cut
maybe the heads would be frozen fast
to the straw in front until it would
require an effort to pull it loose. The
sheaves OF grain were left unbound
until the weak sun and cold wind
dried it enough to be put 10 the NOW
or stacked. apples and other fruit
were an entire failure and the few
vegetables were served as luXuries
Mr.. Poundstone, now SO near his CEN
tennial, is afflicted with rheumatism
SO bad that he does not go out from
home, but his mind is so clear that
1t is pleasure to listen to his reports
OF his boyhood days and he delights
| in relating them. His business quail
| fications are not marred in the least t..
He reads without glasses and writes a
| fair hand.
