THINK THIS OVER

Think this over before you vote:
Why are the Republican papers and
speakers telling the people that the
Dawson tax billIs the bill prepared
by the Tax Commission Of which
Hon. Henry G.. Davis was the chair
man. Simply this: The Republican
Bosses know that the Davis tax bill
was an honest and just one. It
dealt fairly with all classes of tax
payers whether they we're rich or
poor. IL took them two years TO
prepare the Davis tax bill so care
ful were they 20 get just and uni
form tax law for the State Of West
Virginia The DAVIS tax bill was
satisfactory to the poor class Of tax
payers, such as the farmers, the
merchants, the mechanics, the doc
tors and the laboring men. The
Davis tax bill was also fair 20 the
corporations and railroads But
the corporations and railroads did
not think so. They said the Davis
tax bill was unfair and unjust 90
them and they would not stand for
the Davis tax BILL So the Rcpub
lican Bosses SAID they would change
H. They appointed Geo. &. Slur-
giss, W. j. Hubbard, A. 6. Day
ton and Judge Blizzard, all Repub
Leans, and they prepared what is
now known 49, .he Bill Dawson tax
bill, aad The legislature was called
in extraordinary session by Gov
A. p White, who is the bosom
friend Of Bill Dawson, and they
passed the Dawson tax bin which
will 90 down into history as the
most infamous tax law which has
ever been placed upon the statute
books Of West Virginia Now we
want 60 ask the honest Republicans
Of Preston county IL they are going
20 support a man like Bill Dawson
who has fastened a tax law that
will tax them out Of their property.
IL they DO they Will suffer just as
severly their neighboFs.

Nevada has been given up by the
Republicans. Whether it has or

electoral votes as certainty Col
orado is good fighting glound; some
Democrats, more or less familiar
with political conditions there, place
the State in the doubtful" column:
others say it is as safely Democratic
as New York. The Democratic
campaign is being well managed,
and the best possible results will be
obtained. The Populist nominee
for Governor has Withdrawn from
the fight, and will support Alva

Chairman O'Donnell, of the Demo
cratic State Committee, was re
cent caller at Democratic National
Headquarters, and brought only
encouraging news. He also met
Judge Parker and discussed with
him the peculiar conditions existing
in Colorado. The State has five
electoral votes, and the Democrats
will leave no stone unturned in their
effort to capture them.
Montana is another State in which
the political situation is decidedly
linked" All that can be said
with truth is that the chances favor
Democratic success on both State
and National tickets. But there are

EVENTS IN WASHINGTON AND
TRANSACTIONS OF CONGRESS
Powers Accept Hay Proposal.

Secretary Hay has received responses
from Austria Hungary and from FOR
tugal to his neutrality proposition, the
answers in each case amounting 10 AL
acceptance of the principles laid down
by the secretary as to locailzatloh OIL
the struggle and naturalization OF
China This completes the list oil
answers from all of the powers ad-
dressed on the subject, with the single
exception of Russia.
Relative to u reference in one OF the
European dispatches to second note
to the powers from the United States
relative to neutrality. it is explained at
the State Department that this note
was nothing more than the text (al-
ready published) of the note to Japan
and Russia which Secretary Hay In his
first note had informed the powers he
vas about to dispatch.
According to a State Department Of
fetal. there will be no more notes ex-
changed for the present relative to the
naturalization of China and the restric-
tion of the theater of war to certain
limits. Having induced the powers to
accept the general principle of neu-
tralization. the State Department feels
that that chapter is closed. An at
tempt to go into details would almost
certainly tend to disrupt the present
satisfactory arrangement. for one or
the other. of the powers would have
something to suggest which would be
bone of contention. So there will be
no further exchanges on this subject
in the present temper of the State De-
partment, unless some overt act is COM
mitted by one of the belligerents
threatening the neutrality of China out
side of Manchuria. 1t will be time
then for the powers to get together
and. acting on the lines indicated by
Secretary Hay. make concurrent rep
reservations on the subject.

A kiro.

comforting and useful contriv-
ance is the little Japanese hand-warni-
er of "kiro," as Il is called. 1t is
really a portable stove, and can be
tucked away in the pocket when not
needed. This little stove will be
found great protection when driving,
and can be fastened to the knees to
keep the legs from getting cold. You
can buy these little comforts at almost
any store where Japanese goods are
sold.
Fuel enough to last two months can
be purchased for. fifteen cents. 1t is
curious preparation OF charcoal and
gives off little or no smoke or gas.
People who have used this stove in
the sick room find it much superior
to the hot water bags-it is so light
and the temperature so even. One
piece of fuel will last two hours.

SEPARATE Silk Rutfles.

The rufled silk undcrskirt that is
supposed to be worn to match the
color of each separate gown is
somewhat costly accessory. A clever
young woman, who aspires to the fash
ionable flare and rustic. has reached
a happy solution of the problem by
contriving adjustable silk rufile sets of
different colors, which she fastens
with tiny buttons to general skirt of
gray poplin.
This same young woman has the
silk undergowns of her transparent
evening frocks so constructed that. by
the addition OF suitable trimming they
can be transformed into charming
GOWNS.
