SPRING STfLkS For MEN IN WHISPERS
A New Jersery legislator, doubtless
inspired by the action of some of our
western legislatures in taxing bachelors,
is proposing tax on whiskers. Strong
suspicion is INDUCED that he is in the
employ of the barber trust. Color is
loaned to this theory because the incor-
poration Of trusts is regarded as home
industry in New Jersey, even as the
harvesting Of divorces is a concomitant
Of South Dakota coil. The free institu-
lions Of America are rapidly being men
aced. When laws are passed compelling
man TO marry and To shave, what will

THE February number of the Woman s

sive description of Senator Beveridge's
bill to abolish child labor. The Senator
tells how he worked in logging camp
at fourteen years of age, beginning be-
fore daybreak and ending after dark
and the lessons he learned there served
as the foundation for his present fight
against the horror of child labor. After
describing the evil he adds:
But that is not the worst of it. The
worst of it is that pretty soon these chill.

Now, word as to the large mum.
Der OF candidates already mention
ed. Ii Is for, uDate for the state
and fortunate for the party in power
that there are several men from
whom to choose. Where there is
a wide opportunity of choice, good
selection Is more likely to be made
And there is one thing above all else
that the West Virginian sincerely
hopes for and that is. the choosing of
a man who will not be considered
as the candidate of part or faction
OF the Republican party but one on
whom all can unite. When race
narrows to only two men represent
ing set factions of the party, bar.
mony and good feeling are next to
impossible and it would be better if
dozen names were presented to
the convention and the newspapers
play no favor,tes until the delegates
bad selected standard bearer. So
far as the West Virginiau is con-
cerned 1t is for the nominee and will
stand by him through thick and
thin, and it sincerely hopes that a
man may be chosen to whom every
Republican paper in the state can
and will give hearty support. We
nope the terms ''insurgent,
administration" and "anti. admin
istration" Republicans will become
obsolete before the assembling OF
the Republican state convention
and that they may never agair
come into use.-Fairmont Yves,
Virgiuian.
The above is certainly the correct
view to take in regard to the next
Republican nominee for the high
and honorable Office of Governor
The party to succeed must name 4;
man that is above reproacl
-one who is popular with all
classes and one not allied with any
faction.

Pneumonia Season Is On; ~ Up to
1t is the pneumonia season.

IL Is the pneumonia season.
From early fall until late spring, dur
ing all the cold, raw, wet, changeable
weather death in the guise of the pneu-
monia germ rides upon the blast
And nobody can save you from pneu-
monia but yourself.
1t is "a case where an ounce of proven
ton Is worth tons of cure.
For of all the diseases this is one of the
easiest TO avoid and one of the hardest
to cure.
Consumption is ranked as the most
dreadful of scourge. But while con-
sumption carries off 100, 900 victims an
nually in this country, pneumonia fol
lows close with 10000.
And while consumption is being mas
tered and is on the decline, pneumonia
still battles medical science and is OIL the
increase.
Science has identified the "pneumococ-
Gus" germ, it is true. 1t is everywhere
in the dust, in the damp and even in our
mouths by the million. AS a mere DO
tential parasite it doesn't amount to
much, if only we would keep in fair
condition Overexposure, overindul-
gence or any weakening of the system
gives the germ his chance for deadly
work.
There is no physician who can tell you,
except in the vaguest and most general
way, how to avoid pneumonia. And if
you are stricken with the disease there
is no known drug that will certainly ar
rest its development, no system of nurs-
ing or treatment upon which you may
safely rely to carry you through the cri-
sis.
And yet of all diseases this is one
in which the physician s earliest possible
attention is most important. He may be
able to cope with the disease directly,
but he cannot conserve your vital forces
and give you that Fighting chance
which alone can save you.
Take care of yourself and pneumonia
can't touch you.
IT'S UP TO YOU.
An eminent specialist gives the follow.
ing simple rules:
Have plenty of fresh air, day and
, night.
Guard against chill and damp.
"Do not overeat and overdrink. -

No War Cloud in SiQht.

There is not the slightest use in
anyone attempting to whistle up a
war cloud between the United |
States aud England over the churl.
ish performance of Gov. General
Swettenham of Jamaica, who has
Just ordered, Admiral Davis and
his American squadron away from
the earthquake stricken island,
where they were doing their best to
relieve the suffering in the cause of
common humanity. According to
all the facts in the case so far as
they have yet developed Admiral
Davis sailed into what was left of
the harbor a: Kingston, Jamaica,
and without waiting for orders
from anyone landed blue Jackets to
help preserve order and doctors and
medical supplies to help out the
scant stores in the overworked hos
pital Withal he courteously plac.
ed himself at the disposal of Gov.
Swettenham, announcing that he
was there to do whatever needed
most to be done, pending the arrlv-
al of the relief ship Celtic, which
was already on its way from the
United States. Almost anyope
might suppose, under the circum
stances, that the Governor. General
would have welcomed these friendly
offices. But what did he do? With
characteristic British insuiarity he
ordered Admiral Davis and his
marines back on shipboard, as
though an invading force from an
unfriendlY power, and added insult
to injury by an unkind and untrue
letter In which he as good az accus.
ed Admiral Davis of lying and told
him that he needed no assistance
from the outside.
Such performance was not calcu.
lated to stimulate the sympathies of
sthe United States with stricken
Jamaica, neither was it calculated
to increase the good feeling between
the United States and Great Brl-
tain. But while 1t is certain TO
strain relations a bit there are no
serious results to be apprehended.
The English papers have been un-
sparing il their denunciation of
Gov. wettenham's graceless act
and rehe officials, both of the State
Department and of the English
foreign office, have discreetly an
nounced that they have ono official
stvices" on the affair, and cannot
discuss it for publication. 1t is
possible that Gov. Swettenham NAV
be recalled as mark of displeasure
on the part of the English Govern.
ment. If he is, SO much the better
for the island of Jamaica. 1t is
hardly to be supposed that he will
have the sympathy of decent mind
ed Englishmen either at home or
abroad, but so far as Jamaica il
concerned, TIE earthquake sufferers
will be the ones to get the worst of
1t. One can hardly suppose that
there will be any great enthusiasm
In this country over rendering
further assistance to the islanders
The potential cordially between
this country and Great Britain will
merely have received another set
back, and one can only be thankful
that the unfortunate occurrence did
not happen at a time aud place
when such churlish incivility on
the part of a British official might
easily have had much more serious
outcome.
