1t was mainly through the work
OF Mr.. Hughes as counsel to the Arm

In the movement for decent elections
In this State was taken by the Legis-
lature. This was the adoption OF the
law forbidding campaign gifts by cor
porations.
Further progress toward taking
the controlling Influences OF money
out or elections is promised with the
recommendation by Governor Hughes
OF law to limit the amount OF mon
ey that may be spent by a candidate
for office. When this Is done Il will
not be possible for a Senator Gates
to spend the equivalent OF Ave years.
salary to get two-year term. Then
there will be no scandal such as
arises from the spending OF n quarter
OF million dollars by William Ran

falls to account for as the law al

MUSTERED OUT OF

Washington, Jan. WHAT the

ter out OF service every negro I'm the

and not by executive order, which ia
a usurpation Of authority. But II
we are going to have any negro SOL
diers, let us keep them at home,
Where II they commit outrages up-
on women we can shoot them, as we
ought to do and not infiict them with
their brutalities upon n helbess peo-
ple."
In these words Senator Tlllman, of
South Carolina tonight expressed
himself on the recent ordering OF all
negro troops to the Philippines. SEN
ator Tillman will be heard from I'm
the debate on the Brownsville incl
dent. He does not credit the War
Department statement that the order
ing OF the troops TO the PHILIPPINES is
merely a matter OF routine.
inc ihSb Ihht JHe war Dephro-
ment makes n rush TO explain before
anybody had criticised them is proof
positive that they are keenly sensi-
tive TO criticism and fear It," he
said.
"The sending OF the negro troops
to the Philippine Islands is an in
justice TO the Philippine. people. The
Islanders are conquered people and
wards OF ours whom n Is our duty TO
protect, so far as possible, from
harm OF every kind, and n these ne
gro soldiers are too brutal and too
dangerous TO be stationed among
our people II is an injustice 90 infict
them upon the Philippine commu-

Those OF us who understand the
negro character and the negro In
stinct can hardly conceive OF what
jndescribable outrages they will
commit among ignorant and unpro-
tected Philippine women who are. az
a rule, innocent and virtuous.

Baldwin believes that with the con-
fession of Martin, Powley can be con-
victed. Charles Powley, the man ar
rested at Acca last Wednesday, still
stoutly maintains his innocence. He
has claimed all along that he will be
able to prove an alibi by people in

Give NUMBERS,
NOT NAMES.
PUBLIC NOTICE.
TO THE SUBSCRIBERS OF THE
BLUEFIELD TELEPHONE CO.,
BLUEFIELD, w. VA.

AS this company has recently gone
to considerable expense in getting up
and mailing out copies OF directories
for the use OF Its patrons, we would
greatly appreciate 1t II the subscri-
bers would arrange to look up the
number Of the party that they desire
and not give the name OF the party
wanted. We ASK this for several
reasons, the principal one being the
great similarity OF names that occpr
In such book, furthermore the fact
that 1t Is utterly impossible, with the
constant changes taking place in our
operating force for the operator. m
memorize the six hundred numbers
that we have as well as the part,es,
names; for having instituted tho
system OF party lines such as 10 usad
in the larger cities II necesstates
the using OF letters such as "J 7.
H. and w" after the numbers. which
therefore renders IT very diflcult FOR
the operators to always bear I'm mind
What the letter is. even though sbe
may recall the number. When
number Is given It stands TO reason
'hat the operator can expedite the call
when she is not delayed by beinq
Obliged to look same up; which she
mas to do when you give the name OF
the party and not their number
You can readily understand that
Such obligations naturally decrease
the efficiency OF the service. for
"hiie she is looking up the number
that you have asked for perchanee
as there often is, some one else may
be calling and she is Obliged there
fore to keep that party waiting un-
I'll she has finished with you.
We feel reasonably sure that II
our patrons would exercise a little
more patience in this matter and
thus form the habit OF looking
up the numbers that they desire IT
would be but very short while be-
fore they would soon learn what
the numbers were they wanted.
and thus disHense with either one
or us being Obliged to do II.
We would also appreciate n the
subscribers would follow out the in
structIons as called for in the rules
and regulations given in the direc-
tory, furthermore, to see that the
copy furnished them Is secured by
string and hung up on the hook
on the lower right hand side OF
their instrument.
We stand ready at all times 10 do
all that we can 70 make the service
better and improve its efficiency.
thus making II easier for the sub
scriber az well as for ourselves.

THAT NEGROES WILL NOT

again informed several OF his callers
that It would bo the merest waste OF
paper for Congress to writo any law
upon the statute books, calling for
the reinstatement OF the three COM

charged by him without honor.
Every person with whom Mr.

Is satisfied that the President is in
the same frame OF mind that he was

he would even take his chances of
impeachment by disobeying an order
OF the United States Supreme Court
should that tribunal decide that no
