Stewart Walker is one ahead OF Ne
Kinney m the race for the Democratic
gubernatorial nomination. He has manag.
ed to get his pict1re Ii several papers. But
that Is no sign. when Mckinney comes
along on the home stretch he will prob
ably look better on paper than his op-
pment; he is goosi looking man, too.
Either one looks good on paper, but the
people of the state usually conclude that
they want more than mere paper pic
lures. Possibly, Mckinney is of the sort
that believes it is better not to have his
picture pcddled, but rather the presenta-
tion of his qualifications. Anyway, he
has not veutured to present his profile to
the staring gaze 70 the public and has
not reached the cartoon stage.

The Wheeling News, 1t develops, IS
practically alone in its efforts to have
an extra session of the legislature. The
sensational disclosures as to the ques,
tionable course of the News in forcing
such session on the people of the state
show that the governor himself Is not
with the News on TINT proposition, and
this being true, there is no probability of
there being an extra session. The News
has not the power. to assemble the. law
making body OF the state; The governor
has. but 50 far he has made no intima-
ton that he would use that power, unless
the News can prove some raw declara-
lions it has made IN that respect and
there seems no possibility Of It's doing
that. The News i not there with the

The smallpox situation Is not IN as

be. For some unknown reaaon the health
board has not given 1t the attention it
demands. Many who have certainly
been exposed to 1t have 4heir liberty.
They should have been kept under quar-
autine. Possibly, more strenuous meas
ures should be taken by the physicians
who have 1t in charge. It costs consid-
erably TO cope with the disease, but 1t is
better to do that now than to lot it
spread all over he county, and cause NO
small amount of cost to get rid OF 1t
finally. Besides there Is danger to life.

gether to stamp out the disease quickly.
