DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN
BOOK.

Chairman Sherman thus summa-
rizes the Democratic campaign book
lately issued:
The Democratic campaign text
book is from beginning to end a
Confession confession of poverty
of ideas-poverty of issues-pov-
erty of performance. About 200 of
its 243 pages are consumed in re-
cital of ancient history-dead and
buried issues-and might we'll bear
the headlines, Graveyard EP-
itaphs." A single alIusion only is
made to the work of the seth con-
gress. Not word of commenda-
ton for the pure food law, or the
free alcohol law, or the employers
liability law, or the meat inspec-
ton provision. From beginning to
end the book is one long TRADE
against protection to American
labor and American industries; and
against progress and. prosperity,
reaching the profound conclusion

loved bysa panic is only question

BISHOP @PENICk
WILL LECTURE

An event of unusual interest Is
announced for Sunday night at the
Episcopal church. Bishop Penick
viii give at that time his address on
''The Awakening of the Nations; !"
which embodies the latest informa-
ton of the progress of Christian
missions in the various parts of the
world. Bishop Penick was himself
in charge as bishop of all the mis-
sions of the Episcopal church in
Africa, and, after nine years of
service was invaded home. He
spent the past summer at Clifton
Springs, N. Y, where an interna-
tional conference on missions was
held under the auspices of large
gathering Of returned missionaries
themselves. His lecture embodies
the results of that two weeks con-
ference.
This lecture has been given twice
in Fairmont, Bishop Penick's home
and is about to be given the third
time before the largest congrega-
ton in the town.
An invitation is extended to all
who are interested in this subject.

will diminish the casualty list of
the present football season. There
will likely be just as many broken
limbs, disfgured faces, broken
heads and worse injuries this year
as last for when boys get into a
football game it is pretty much the
same sort of scramble as it always
was. Instead of denouncing the
new football rules in favor of the
old rules, however, the professional
coaches should hatch out a new
scheme for an altogether different
game where there will not be so
much danger attendant upon the
contest. The end of the present
season will in all probability show
the Necessity for this when it will
-tbenere popularity desired to make
-ftootball a less dangerous game.

FOOTBALL.

The severity of football playing
by students in schools and colleges
is occupying the minds of the
patrons, friends and parents as well
as the instructors and officials OF
the educational Institutions of the
country to considerable extent at
present. Many hoped that the re-
Yised rules devised for the game
would greatly diminish the danger
attendant upon these rough and
tumble contests. In his testimony
at the coroner's inquiry into the
death of Captain Kennedy, OF the
I.awrenceville, Pa, school football
team, professional coaches declared
that the new rules of the game were
responsible for the fatality. The
elimination of mass plays and the
introduction of more open
PLAYS have increased the
eIeemnts of danger in the
game, they declare; A player
attains a greater momensum while
running With the ball aad4sS4Ehanli
tackled Isl brought to sthspgreAn
with great deal more force than
formerly.
It II not likely that the new. rides

HIS EYES WERE OPENED.

One of our most substantial
farmer citizens came to the city to-
dav to pay his taxes and take adj
vantage of the usual discount all
lowed bv law. says the Grafton Sen
.tinel. This good farmer said that
but $15 when he was about
10 start to the city, aryI remember
ing that he had always been paying
about $50 annually TO the state and
county he borrowed S25 from one
Of his family. Entering Sheriff
Means Office he called for his tax
receipt and when it was handed
him he paid his bill with $15 ne
had of his own money and had Just
So cents left in change. He was
able after, liquidating his tax bill,
to 90 home and return the S25 he
had borrowed. This is a practical
and fair illustration of the working
of our new tax laws. There is no
juggling of facts or figures in this
case. 1t is but sample of the way
the law is working in the case of
every tax payer who has heretofore
been paying tax on his property
where it has been assessed at any
thing near its proper assessable val
ne. OF course, the man who has
been concealing his property or de-
ceiving the assessor and whose prop
erty under the new tax laws has
been forced from its hiding, will
pay more taxes than heretofore,
but the cases of this kind are great
ly in the minority.
