in the breakaway which caused the
sorrow. Grasping the whiskers
which he loved so well the Leader
warned the Chairman that the next
time the Pie Committee wanted hair
in their soup that he would be pre-
pared TO accommodate them. The
Chairman took this as an invitation
to help himself to another handful
which was heroically resented by
the Leader. Comrade DR.. Manown
adjourned the Lime Kilen Club,
which was holding high carnival in
Herring's store, and they all rushed
out in defense Of their most worthy
member, Leader Shaw. 1t must

Bill Haney calling for brakes and
sounding the danger signal. Bill is
always heroic in times of danger.

rible night, the struggles and hard
ships we are having over a division
of the pies, wonder if it would not
have been more heroic and patriotic
for me to have fell in the battle of

behind sapplings and sagebrush and
returning home to witness a second
war over the pies.

Gov. White, IN his message, says
he's "agin" paying the Virginia
bonds" This sounds all right, but
there are few gentlemen in West
Virginia who have possession of
these bonds who are not averse to
exchanging them for the coin of the
realm, providing West Virginia fur
nish the coin. 1t would be well to
keep sharp lookout for them and
see that there is no inducement
offered the Legislature to take a
chance in the lottery.

emenates from the scholarly pen of
an old school teacher of this coun-

have more sketches from his prolific

road and telegraph systems, the
election of u. S. Judges and u. S.

cratic victories 10 the future. a
prominent Democratic Senator said
to your correspondent yesterday,
al am almost inclined to believe
that with Theodore Roosevelt in
the White House and Democratic
majonties in both Houses of Con-
gress We could accomplish some
thing. He is the most un Repub-
lican Republican / ever knew"
ttt
The President is, too muc h
of protectionist at heart to get
along with Democratic majorities,
aud he is too prone to insists on
his own way. Inc objections to
the arbitration treaties, which the
President recently sent to the SEN
ate, have been clearly set forth in
the public press and by Democratic
and Republican members of the
Senate and yet the President has
buckled on his spurs and has taken
his riding crop and is attempting TO
drive them through the Senate de-
spite the opposition of both Repub.
licans and Democrats. He has
written a letter to the chairman of
the committee on Foreign Rela-
tons, Senator Cullom, announcing
that il the Senate amends the treat
les as that body believes it should,
he will Withdraw them. Such me-
thods are hardly to be countenanc-
ed. The President has the consti-
tutional power to carry out his
threat but it amounts TO setting his
judgment in matter concerning
foreign relations above that of a
very large majority of the Senate,
when the Constitution expressly sti
pilates that all foreign relations
shall be determined by the judg
ment of the President and a two
thirds vote of the Senate.

himself candidate for the Job of
recorder of deeds OF the District of

a North Carolina negro, John C.

On our first page will be found an
article sent from Kingwood to the
Fairmont Times that is the most
gigantic yarn of the season and takes
the cake in the snake-sto line.
We republish 1t just to show what
an enterprising liar can do when he
tries himself. The article was first
brought to this paper for publica-
tod but was declined because it re-
flected on the railroad. However
it has been published since in sever
al other papers, including the Fair.
mont Times, Morgantown Dominion,
and Klngwood Leader, so we give
it space to add to the hilarity of the
occasion and show that the author
wanted to get even with the railroad

Over in the 1ath Judicial District
of this State the Republicans ran a
drunken one horse lawyer by the
name of John M. Morrison for Cir
cult Judge at the recent election
and although the district is heavily
Republican, the people would not
stand for it and elected J. c. Nc
Whorter of Upshur county, the
Democratic candidate, by a big ma
jority. However Morrison is pre-
pairing to contest the election and
try to have McWhorter thrown out
because he is Democrat. Morri-
son has engaged c. p. Dorr as his
attorney and that is enough to de-
feat him among decent people.
