EDISON on WORK.

In the light of the present strike
of union printers for an eight hour
schedule, 1t is interesting to read
the statement Of Edison, the famous
inventor, that Americans eat too
much, sleep too long and do not
work hard enough for their own
good. Mr.. Edison began life as
poor telegraph operator. He never
asked a union how many hours he
might work. Neither does any
other man who makes anything cut
Of himself.
There is not successful business
man, and certainly not successful
farmer, anywhere, who can thrive
by working only eight hours day.
The employers Of these very men
who are striking, work ten and
twelve hours day to devise plans
whereby TO keep the business of Of
the rocks and TO increase the volume.
thereby increasing the jobs for the
employees It takes mors than eight
hours, except for a genius, to ac-
complish success in this world Of
competition, and even when we get
close 20 genius itself we find that
genius is defined as an infinite
capacity for hard work.
There is work which is drudgery,
but usually it is the mere drudge
who is doing It. With man Of
right spirit in coed health. IL is
almost impossible to overwork.
Millions Of people overworry
and it is not always the wage Garner
who is the victim Of the overworry
a.lmcn, but few, even amongst
strenuous Americans, oyerwork.
Edison is right.

INDIAN Proverbs .

The coward shoots with shut eyes.
No Indian ever sold his daughter
for a name.
Before the paleface came there
was no poison in the Indians corn.
Small things talk loud to the
Indians eye.
When fox walks lame old rab-
bits jump
The paleface's arm is longer than
his word.
A squaw's tongue runs faster than
the winds legs.
There is nothing so eloquent as
rattlesnake's tail.
The Indian scalps his enemy; the
paleface skin his friends.
There will be no hungry palefsces
so long as ther IS any Indians land
TO swallow.
When a man prays one day and
steals six, the Great Spirit thunders
and the evil one laughs.
There are three things it takes
strong man to hold a young warrior,
a Wild horse and handsome squaw.

THE NIGGIR IN
TnE ELklNS WOODPILE
From the Shepherd,,owD Register.

from tue Shephetdstown Register.
Senator Elkins has his press
agents at work claiming "a great
victory for Elkins" upon the
strength ofthe adoption by the
Senate of LcLaurin's substitute
for the amendment proposed by
Mr.. Elkins to the rate bill. 1t
Will be remembered that on Jam
uary goth, when Senator Tillman
read in the Senate the Bullitt let
ter complaining Of the outrageous
treatment of Independent coal
operators by the railroads.&c. West
Virginia, Mr.. Scott objected to
the reading, and Mr.. Elkins de-
clared that there was plenty of
State law in West Virginia to
prevent such abuses. Then Gov.
Dawson wrote his famous letter
denouncing the railroad lobby, of
which Senator Elkins and Scott
are among the leading spirits;
and on February Sth, Mr.. Tillman
read the Dawson letter in the
Senate, and followed it up on the
18th of February with a joint res
olutlon instructing the Interstate
Commerce Commission to make
examinations into the subject of
railroad determinations and mon
opolies. Tho commission went
to work under the resolution, and
struck pay dirt everywhere. The
Federal grand jury at Clarksburg,
w. Va, found indictment against
the railroads, and Senator Elkins
was threatened with indictment.
Under these circumstances, Mr..
EIkins, on May 7th, offered as an
amendment to the rate bill the
following:
at shall be unlawful for any
common carrier subject to the
provisions of this act, unless aniho,-
fsea BY lis eharfer 10 Gd' So, to en-
gage, directly, or indirectly, in
the production, manufacture, buy
ing, furnishing, or selling of coal
or coke or any other commodity
or commodities of commerce in
competition with any shipper or
producer on its line or lines"
The exception in this case,
which is printed in italics, made
the proposition virtually abortive,
for most Of the railroads of West
Virginia have such provisions in
their charters; and Senator Nc
Laurin offered a substitute which
provided effectively for the di-
vorce of the business Of carrying
from that ofproducing. The sub
stitute was adopted, and hence
the Elkins amendment was re-
jected. Now Senator Elkins tries
to turn defeat into victory by
claiming credit for the whole
thing, but his pretense is too shall
low.

chusetts, the President OF the United
States, the Attorney General an ex-
Senator William f. Chandler were
the principal figures. Tillman in
his disgust and desperation over the
alleged deser,ion of the President in
an alleged legislative deal or con-
spiracy by which II was expected the
Southern Senators would have the
prestige of passing drastic railroad
rate bill accused the President OF
double dealing, bad faith, and
mendacity and let out that he had
told his plenipotentiary ex-senator
Chandler) some ugly things about
the Senatorial constitutional clique
as represented in that heavy legal
triumvira;e Foraker of Ohio, Spoon
et of Wisconsin and Knox of Penn
sylvania. Senator Lodge was not in
the Senate chamber during the NUT.
terings of Senator Tillman but the
echoes reached him from afar and
rushing to the nearest telephone he
got no less a person than Theodore
Roosevelt at the other end of il.
fastening back to the Senate cham
Der Senator Lodge took the floor
and amid great excitement, said that
the President had just told him that
the story alleged to have been re.
ported by ex Senator Chandler was
unqualifedly false. The President
has been supposed to be in a very
awkward position for everybody has
believed that he said what Chandler
said he said about Foraker, Spooner,
and Knox. In short that he took
no pains 10 conceal his thoughts.
The President is nothing if not talk
ative and when he opens his mouth
to talk discretion goes to the winds.
His discreet friends do not report
even the purport of half they hear
him say much less do they repeat his
exact phraseology. The President
is not of the school of Talleyrand,
the diplomatist who said that the
object of language was to conceal
thought. The columns of the
papers have been filed with explana-
tions in which the President, his
Attorney General and William E.
Chandler have taken principal parts,
while Senators Tillman and Bailey
have been explaining their attitudes
and then have explained their ex-
plantations. The opinion in politi-
cal and journalistic circles is that
the President has had his usual luck
In extricating himself from the mex
tricable, placing his party advanta-
geously before the country as the
real makers of an effective rate law.
and making the Democrats fgh,
among themselves, after deoeiving
them because they thought his word
was good and that he would stand
by his own agreement. But he
backed squarely down and now
denies it. However he is in bad
hole, as is proven by Senator Chand-
Ter of his own party.

no, FOR GOOD ROADS.

On March nth. county good
roads convention was held in King
wood and the agitation of the SUBJ
Ject was started. One Of the re-
suits OF that meeting was the organi.
zation of the Preston County Good
Roads Association. The officers of
this association were selected from
every district in the county.
Now it is not the object to take a
radical position on THE matter and
advocate Wholesale bond issues and
macadamized roads all over the
County, nothing of that kind has
entered the minds of those who are
taking an interest in the matter,
but to begin with all can stand on
one platform and fully agree upon
one point, and that is the condition
OF our roads are deplorable and the
system now in use totally Inadequate.
that not withsthnding the fact that
we are spending thousand of dollars
every year our roads are getting
worse instead Of better. This is
partly owing to increases in hauling
on account of the largely increased
business of the country, a condition
we all gladly welcome and one that
In order to still further advance we
must do something to better our
road facilities, If we fail to do this.
we fail to do our duty as good citi
zens.
am not going to attempt to say
now or even indicate how / think
reform in our road management
can or should be brought about, but
will say that one Of the first steps
should be to carry out the scriptural
injunction, "come and let us reason
together"
On May a4th during Circuit
Court there will be a meeting for
this purpose and for the transaction
OF such other business as should
properly come before this ASSOCIATE
on and 1t is earnestly desired that
every one interested attend and give
their views on this important matter.
Already may counties of the state
are taking decisive action on this
matter and if we expect to maintain
our position as one Of the import
ant counties Of our states we must
"get busy. We must get out OF
the old ruts, and thereby get the
ruts out of our roads.
One feature of the movement in
some of the counties are to ar
range for an effort to secure state
aid for our pixies, and National aid
for the main thouroughfares of the
state, remember we will get no help
unless we first show a disposition to
help ourselves, and this we can
only do by and through an organ
ized movement.
Farmers, this movement Is in
your interest more than any other
class, the time for this meeting has
been selected with a view of meet
ing your convenience, come out
and devote one day to the discussi-
on Of this very important matter,
It will prove day well spent.

Last year the Republican
politicians were admitting that the
trusts we're selling many Of their
products cheaper abroad than TO our
own people, but they seem to have
failed TO convince themselves that
it was political step to make this
acknowledgment. For now some
Republican congressman are de-
manding Of the Democrats proof
that the protected industries are
selling goods more chesply abroad
than at home, and the Democrats
are furnishing the evidence they
demand.

The farmers have had a hard
time Of 1t this spring trying to get
their crops in and some Of them
are just now sowing oats and hardly
anyone ready yet for planting corn.
But few gardens have been made
and the whole season is a month
late. The farmers used to SOW oats
and plant potatoes the last Of March
and plant their corn about the roth
of May in this country but Of recent
years they have been getting later
and later every year on account Of
the wet weather and late springs.

This Administration has again
postponed the trial Of Congressman
Binger Hermann Of Oregon, and
this time it fs not to be later than
the first week in June. There is a
partisan reason apparently for put.
ting off the evil day to that date,
for the Oregon election for Con.

in June, when it is hoped the voters
will forget they have no member

SAN BErrEs BREAKS OUT AGAIN.

We see from the State papers
that the cowboy sky-pilot, who
had dropped out of notice for q
few months, has broken out once
more in a new place. He worked
the public and the newspapers
for two or three years on boat
to float from Parkersburg to the
interior of South America to EN-.
gage in the Missionary busiress,
when he did not need to leave
the wharf at Parkersburg to find
plenty of the raw material TO work
on. We offered right in the start
to bet that the Rev. Samuel could
get there sooner by walking than
he would on that boat. OF course
all bets Except Sam and the boat)
are off long since. The papers
report that the Rev. S. G.. b. (Sam
Grand Blufier) has been engaged
in mission work in Charleston the
past winter and we have no doubt
but that there is greater need of
1t there than in South America,
and we hope this Sky Pilot, who
operates along the river, will re-
main in Charleston till next win
ter and tackle the Legislature
and keep up the services all night
about the time the election of a
U. S. Senator comes of. Here is
report from one of our ex-
changes on the latest from Rev.
Sam Revelations of SamueD.
Rev. Sam G. Bettes, the we'll
known cowboy evangelist, who
has been doing mission work in
Charleston during the past winter
is about to launch new enter
prise in the shape of an explor-
alton of the famed Saragossa sea,
the graveyard on the worlds dere-
hcts of ocean traffic. Seeing the
pupular belief among sailors that
when one gets well into this bur-
ial ground Of ocean wrecks, one
can not get out again, the venture
acquires an added interest.
The start will be made from
Louisville on the first of next
September, and the object of the
voyage will be to recover the i'm
mense treasures supposed to lie
in the placid waters of that ia
nous sea, borne thither in the
hulls and hulks of countless
wrecks, that, after drifting to and
fro inpelled by wind and tide,
finally reached that great last
resting place of all ocean wrecks
that floated. Here they lie, gaunt
ghosts, in the midst of calm sea
Of several hundred miles area out
in the Atlantic, amid great
stretches of floating sea weed,
their decks trodden by misty fig
ures of one time crews, and their
recesses supposed to contain treas
ures of countless value.
In a two-masted yacht, SO feet
in length, the Oessa, the explor-
alton trip will be made by DR..
Moore and wife and d. w. Brown,
of Chicago, the president and
secretary of the company, which
was chartered in Chicago with q
capital Of $4,000 for this pur-
pose. Other members of the par
ty will be S. G. Bettes, owners
and captain of the boat, three
sailors and a diver.
The Oessa was designed by
Rev Sam Bettes and built for him
at Huntington. OF all the trea-
sure found, Capt. Bettes will re-
ceive twenty-five per cent.
