GOVERNOR DAwsoN's GREAT
SPEECH. ON TAX REFORM

The West Virginian yesterday pub
lished the first part Of the great speech
Of Governor VIM. NJ. o. Dawson de.
llvered few days ago at Clay Court
House. We publish some more OF the
address to.day.aS Rarely do we have
the opportunity of reading such re.
markable speech on affairs pertaining
to our State alone. 1t is revelation
as to what hasNbeen accomplished by
the Republican party in West Vir'
ginia. He takes up the new laws step
by step and tells Of their enactment
and enforcement and how they have
relieved the ordinary tax payers of a
large share of&the tax burden. He
shows that every Republican pledge
has been redeemed and every Demo.
cratic prediction proven false. He
discusses at length almost every
phase Of the administration of public
affairs ana compares the Democratic
record with that Of the Republicans
and gives figures from the records
TO show how much better 1t is for the
state to be under Republican than
under Democratic control. He ex-
p!odes a various number Of Democrat
ic theories and claims and points out
the deception engaged in by the Dem
ocratic leaders. He says the aver
age Democratic. voter is honest and
we'll meaning and will vote to his own
and the country's best interest If he
knows what that is, but two years
ago the masses of the party we're de-
ceived. The statements sent out were
misleading and raised the question OF
doubt in the minds of the voters. The
arguments seemed plausible and It
took results TO disprOve the false
statements. But that has been done,
MS the governor shows. He calls at
tention to the fact that fully 80 per
cent. Of the people have been directly
benefited by the new tax laws and the
end is not yet, There are many more
things to be done before the system
Of taxation advocated by the sincere
reformer will be fully established. Do
the people want to take step back
ward in this matter? We do not be-
lieve they do. We ask a careful read
ing Of what the governor has to say
on the issues Of to-day in West Vir.
ginia politics.

TlERiIs1 or suBscRIPTIoN:
A Wall OF pEsERTIoN.

The Marion county Democratic or.
gan for some time has wheeled and
cajoled few Republicans around Fair
mont whom it thought 1t could per-
suade toayote the Democratic ticket
this fall But one by one they have
been dropping away until there seems
to- be only about one more or less well
Known buffer and chronic kicker left.
Seeing itself about to be deserted and
left alone in its sadness yesterday
InnrningIifs changed tone from persua-
sigenessrto abuse. 1t calls them COW
ards and says even the devil hates a
coward. So these people run the risk
Of incnrring the dlspleasure Of the
prince Of darkness II they don't vote

Language with which to try to brace
up a fofn1er ally. Lest We be thought
II be oyerstating the case we give the
exact language used by the Democratic
paper inthat connection. 1t is as fol-
lows;
u tEyen The devil hates coward. The
deserving and successful are those
who persevere. Political corrupttonists
( ate strong when not opposed, but COW

 From conversations had with mum

Knls cArARRHAL aERMs.
Breathe HyOmeI. Few Times Daily and Re Cured-Goes Right to the Spot

In treating catarrhal troubles. the first thing necessary is to ..ill all ca tarrhaI germs that may be present in the nose, throat and lungs, thus free- ing the system from the poison that they produce
 stomach dosing cannot kill these germs. A direct local treatment IS absolutely necessary, and for this pur- pose nothing else equals Hyomei.
 It's base is the famous eucalyptus oil. This is combined with other ..ealing, aromatic gums and balsams, making a germ killing, health giving treatment for catarrh entirely unlike anything else known. When using Hyomei the air you breathe is like that on the mountains, high above sea level where the nine forests fill the air with frag- rant and healing balsams that give health and strength to those suffering from diseases of the respiratory or gans.
 Breathed through the neat pocket inhaler that comes with every outfit, Hyomei reaches every tissue of noss throat and lungs, giving immediate re- lief and effecting 8 permanent cure in the worst eases of oatarrh.
 The complete outfit, consisting of an inhaler, medicine dropper and one pot tie of Hyomei, costs only sl. ENtra bottles, can be obtained for SO cents F. q. Fowler gives guarantee with every Hyomei outfit that the treatment will cost nothing unless t cnres'

 MT. Secretary of state-You and Mrs Root with the brilliant and rep resentative company asked to meet you at this embassy find yourselves sitting tonight around a table that symbolizes the border of the American Republics and under the flag of the nation that in a few months will have the honor of being their host and yours. We, in Brazil feel much grat- flied that the first visit that an Amer ican Secretary of State will have ever made to foreign country is promised to ours. Once there you will see your self how deep Is your sense of the leading, and in many respects crea- tive. in part the United States have been called to play in the, destinies of the world.
 We realize distinctly that no mag net for freedom, for progress. for peace, was ever built in history on such a powerful scale and possessing such strength as North American democracy. With these feelings l raise my glass to the success of your announced visit to Brazil, hoping that 1t will be one of the memorable dates in President Roosevelt's administra- tion and that you will be able to as- sure him on your return to Washing ton that your common interest in our continual comradeship Is fully recip- rocated by all latin America"
