and she is continually requested to
visit them and deliver addresses on
some subject relating to the stage.
Miss Crosman never received so many
requests to attend teas and receptions
and other afternoon functions in Chi
cago as she did during her recent
visit there while she was playing at
the Grand opera house. But she was
obliged TO decline them all. Her
work at the theatre demanded all
her energy. a new production for
The Sword of the King" had been
prepared for Chicago. with splendid
scenery, costumes and all stage set
tings. The preparation of this new
mounting for The Sword of the
King" had entailed much extra work
on Miss Crosman who, therefore. was
obliged to forego all social relaxa-
ton.

The Chautanqua Assembly is quar-
reling over the subjects Of rape and
lyching. One day an aeminent" speaker
advocates lynching as the only way to
prevent rape. Next day an equally Gem.
in9nt" orator denounces lynching. There
you are. What the object is in these
debates the public lnowns not, unless it
Is to promote the interests Of big de-
batting society, one of the objects Of
which Is to draw and entertain a big
crowd. The discussion seems somewhat
out of order, however, as It is scarcely
applicable to the patrons of that body,
and there is no real necessity to educate
them on that particular subject, unless
it is their purpose to go among the peo-
pie and preach the subject. The discus
sion may have its baneful effects upon
the refinement of the audience, as con-
tinual reminder of things of this sort is
likely to stir the passions and inculcate
beliefs that are now foreign to the edu-
Gated people who congregate Mt the Chau-
tauqua at this season Of the year. There
is good ground to believe that the assem-
bly, makes MISTAKE in pursuing such
a course and that its energy and talent
could be turned to something more ele-
waiting and profitable.

Spencer during the last few weeks has
been the thcater of numerous meetings,
conventions and assemblies, but nothing
has given our people more pride than
the visit OF Senator Nathan B. Scott
and his esti1nabic wife Wednesday and
Thursday, the guests OF Congressman
woodward.
Senator Scott called on numbers of
people, chattcd business, crops, trade,
and prospects, etc, and made \ very
favorable impression. Possibly some
politics were talked. Why nots Our
congressional and senatorial conventions
unanimously endorsed his course in che
senate and pledged their support for his
reelection. Possibly Senator Scott
thanked any and all of those of his
friends for past support. He has made
an ideal senator. he will likely be re-
elected and possibly viii have no OPP
position. West Virginia cannot hold her
start in the procession and change her
national legislators. She has lost by
such a course while the small states of
the east have out-stripped her simply
because their men were sent to congress
and kept there until they are welding
y powerful influence and the nation
turns to them for counsel and advice.
One term in either branch of congress
Is an aggravatiou and affords no oppor-
tunity for mems best Efforts. Senator
Scott will be returned. The people of
West Virginia are looking after their bet
ter interests and II is certainly best to
return Senator Scott to six, twelve or
more years as the case may be.-Roane

The get-rich-quick idea that has seiz-
ed some of the denizens OF Point Com
fort since few pearls have Deen found
in the West Fork river, is resulting in
much effort and little benefit. One fell
low gathered together two bushels of
mussel shells, lugged them home, went
through the pile carefully and found
nothing of value. He might have made
wages that day at something else, but
that would not have carried out the idea
and he would not have been satisfied.
The fruit of his labors that day, or
rather the lack of fruit. has most likely
cooled his ardor and he will be found
hereafter plcdding along in the Gus
tonary way his living to earn and a
surplus to save. The man who does this
usually comes out winner, while. the
other fellow while away his time, wastes
his energy and comes out loser in the
end The West Fork river is not likely
to make any one rich with its contents.
unless it be the. wealth of water that
flows periodically. and then only when
the water is converted into motivity.

six to eight slot machines in every, or
nearly every, saloon in the place. Yet
