TEMPERANCE NOTES.

Nine out of ten of the numerous To-
cal option elections taking place in Vir-
ginia are being carried by the "drys".
The great temperance wave seems to
be getting greater.
BY arresting barrel of whiskey and
bringing libel against it, the govern
ment hopes to get into the courts the
question What is whiskey?" At a cab
met meeting of the presidents advisers
1T will be decided whether to arrest the
barrel of whiskey or large number of
liquor dealers who are defying the pure
food law.
Mrs. Mamie Curtis, who has been
called the 'Silver Tongued Orator. of
Texas, is speaking throughout Virginia
IN the cause of temperance. Mrs. Curtis
is refined, dignified and educated lady.
speaker of power and effect She
has just completed a successful
campaign against the liquor traffic in
Bristol and is to visit Staunton, Char
lottesville and other places where the
Anti-Saloon League is waging local
option fights.
In Carroll county, Va, in section of
the Blue Ridge Mountains, about mid
night Rev. Jos. Easter, a Dunkard
preacher, was awakened, lured into his
front yard and assassinated, being killed
with a shotgun by some one concealed.
1t was an atrocious crime. The reason
assigned is, that Mr.. Easter would have
been an important witness in cases now
pending in court, where certain parties
In the neighborhood had been indicted
for selling liquor illegally and other des-
perate lawlessness. Mr.. Easter was a
good man, highly respected, as was at
tested by the large number of neigh
bors who gathered at the home to offer
help and sympathy to the sorrowing
widow and seven children. Indignation
is running high, and it is feared that if
the guilty party is found out the people
would not wait for the courts to decide
the case.
EPISCOPAL CHURCH JOINS IN.
The protestant Episcopal Church,
which is known for its conservatism.
has at last felt it must throw the weight
of the church against the saloon. In
Staunton the Episcopal clergy for the
first time is joining in the fight for To-
cal option. But most potent of all is
the recent action of the Council in Vir-
ginia-
1.-The following resolutions offered by
Rev. Thos. Semmes, and seconded by
Rev. j. r. Ellis, were unanimously
adopted by the Council of the Episcopal
Church in the diocese of Virginia at its
meeting May 18th, 1907, by rising
vote, to witt
''Reolved 1. That this Council views
with sympathy and thankfulness the
great advance that is being made in
the State of Virginia and throughout
the country in the suppression of the
liquor traffic through the open saloon.
Resolved 2. That we earnestly be-
lieve that the Anti-Saloon League is a
potent, and indeed the chief cause at
the present time, in arousing the pub
lie conscience and educating the people
to their duty on this all-important sub
ject, and is bringing about this glorious
result.
Resolved 3. That this Council COM
mends the Anti-Saloon League for its
sane and wise methods, and recon-
mends it as means of solidifying and
unifying endeavor to emphasize still
further this pressing and paramount
duty.

swisher's career with a deep inter-
est. ] have not seen him In Several
years. but have Noted his political
success as any native West yirginian
retoices In the honorable rise OF an
old acuaintanqce. with deep pleasure
ears ago when ! was doing newspa-
per work right here in Fairmont,
and on the Times. too, predicted a
brilliant career for Charley swisher.
and my friendsd tell me since came
back some weeks ago that he is
making good.
Il believe in West Virginia for
West virginians. and always did. l
believe in fair play. believe in re-
warding the young men who have
taken pains to push their own claims
and merit public honors. have no
aversion or objection to any candi-
date so FAR announced. and if others
should come out for governor still
reserve the right of selecting my
choice.
"But when few distinguished
politicians get their axes out for a
man or rea, IS for instance they
did against Governor Dawson three
years ago, it makes a West Virginian
want to fight some one if he believes
in the State motto. ''Montani semper
Liberi.
swisher's public career convinces
all men familiar with it, that he is
leader. and his initiative in the
matter OF local option. or home
rule. emphasizes the assertion that
he possesses the qualities of lead
er of men even to a greater degree
than he was known to have before he
boldly took this advanced step.

swisher n Leader.

It should be remembered that
Charles ". swisher tool +he initia-
tive m the local option movement,
when he issued his platform, with n
strong declaration favoring local OPP
ton. No other public man up to
that time had openly declared him
self in favor of it. and there were
some at the time inclined to boot at
the idea. But, even these have had
occasion to change their minds since
and Republican and Democrat alike
have awakened to the fact that local
option means far more than at first
supposed. and especially is the idea
taking with the people.
All recognize the fact that the
people themselves should have the
power to say whether they want
saloons. The liquor trade should
not be forced upon them nor should
they be deprived of high license and
its benefits If they want them. That
is just what Mr.. Swisher's local OPP
ton plank means and it is distinctly
and decidedly agreeable to the peo-
pie. because, it, IF made law. dele
gates the power of choice to the
people themselves and promotes free
government.
Sentiment is rapidly increasing in
the State in favor of such law,
and particularly so since a leading
candidate for governor has empha-
sized it by declaring that such law
should be enacted. In some coun-
ties such as grand old Preston, ac-
cording to the reports that come,
the voters are simply delighted with
that part of the Swisher platform.
and they are giving him the benefit
of taking the initiative in the move
ment.
Swisher showed political astute-
ness in this as no other candidate
so far has. and his declaration IA
voring the underlying principle OF
local option-home rule-makes
clear and strong the assertion OF
his friends that he is close to the
people and stands by them for their
interest and welfare. He accords
them supreme rights and subserves
them in his official acts.
In this connection 1t Is but justice
to Mr.. Swisher. now thar certain
men have begun an attack on him
to quote here the following from
one who has known Mr. swishe,
for years and is familiar with hi.

Legislation Necessary

There is no longer any doubt that
the illegitimate speculation caused
the money stringency, and>it is also
an established fact that President
Roosevelt does not believe that
iHegitimate speculation should have
the first call on the money of this
country. Instead he does believe
the manufacturer, the merchant and
the real producer should have
that call--enough to do business on.
Certainly, not within years has
the country been more in the flower
of prosperity, with the factories all
busy and large untitled orders on
rhand. and crops in great abundance.
As one writer puts it panic right
now is misfit,a contradiction to all
the basic conditions. BY every Wis
ible sign our prosperity should con-
tinue indefinitely-and still we are
in a money stringency. All this
means that there is a speculative
and currency difficulty-one that
ought to be impossible and one
which should, by prompt and sensi-
BILE legislation, be made impossible
of recurrence.
Frenzied finance and questionable
speculation are at the bottom of the
trouble. Wall Street practices
brought the stringency on. There
fore. in order to get at the root OF
the trouble and enact wise laws on
the subject. the conditions that led
up to the stringency should be
known. The national legislators can
get this much needed information in
two ways-one from the men re-
sponsible for the stringency. the
other by authorized committee in
vestigation, and, there is still an
other MISREPRESENTATION by govern
ment officials. 1t is hoped one of
the three methods will be employed
and that such legislation will he
enacted by Congress as to prevent
any money stringency in a time CT
such plenty of every thing else as
the present is.

Tale Of a Whiskey Bottle, a Pretty

whiskey.
After disposing of the contents he
proceeded to inspect the label. In the
center of the paper was the picture of
a beautiful young woman. The face
on the bottle won the Coloners heart
ana he wrote to the distiners to find
out who the model was.
The distillers wrote the Colonel that
they got the label in Wheeling and
they gave him the name of the firm.
The Colonel took the matter up with
the Wheeling firm and learned that
they had secured the photograph from
an artist In this city
The artist was the next step in the
story of the face upon the bottle. He
told the Colonel that the picture was
that of a friend. and that he had given
it To the firm making labels. Then

The Renewal a Strain,

Vacation is over. Again the school
bell rings at morning and at noon.
again with tens of thousands the
hardest kind of work has begun, the
renewal Of which is a mental and
physical strain to all except the most
rugged. The little girl that a few
days ago had roses in her cheeks, and
the little boy whose lips were then so
red you would have insisted that they
had been "kissed by Strawberries, 3"
have already lost something Of the
appearance Of health. Now is a time
when many children should be given
tonic, which may avert much SER

so highly to be recommended as

ems the nerves, perfects digestion and

opment by building up the whole sys-
