Another Journal Lie Headed on.

CLARKsBURG, w. Va, Oct. 81.
Editor Argus:
The Journal breaks out with its usual
fusillade of lies intended to deceive the
voters when in an editorial it says: THAT
Chairman FL Williams, of the Demo-
cratic committee, had imported me to
Preston county 10 assist i'm eorraling the
voters for the Democratic ticket. Now
the Journals standing for truth and
veracity is in such bad repute that it is
scarcely worthy of IA reputable mans
time to give it any notice, but i'm Justice
to my friend Williams | desire to say
that the Journals statement in regard
to the $500 schoolhouse deal, and my
coming into Preston county to engage in
politics, are lies of the whole cloth, and
OF which the journal will hear more
fully.
| have only been in Preston county
once since the campaign begun, coming
10 Kingwood on Saturday evening and
remaining over night, as / usually do,
with Mr.. Williams, who is a personal
friend, and returned home the next day.
My visit was not of a political nature,
neither have taken any interest i'm
Preston county politics this campaign.
II is hardly necessary that ] should
give any further explanation along this
line, for the voters of Preston county are
well informed Of the reputation Of the
Preston County Journal, and are not 50
easily deceived by its usual whip lashes,
and campaign lies. Very truly yours,
V. T.. GocKE

Eat What
You want of the food you need
Kodol will digest it.

You need sufficient amount OF
good wholesome food and more than
this you need TO fully digest IT.
Else you can't gain strength, nor
can you strengthen your stomach II
II Is weak.
You must eat in order to live and
maintain strength.
You must not diet, because the
body requires that you eat a sufiic-
tent amount OF food regularly.
But this food must be dlgested,
and II must be dIgested thoroughly.
When the stomach can't do IT.,
you must take something that will
help the stomach.
The proper way to do IS 10 eat
what you want, and let Kodol d.
gest the food.
Nothing else can do this. When
the stomach Is weak IL needs help;
you must help IL by giving II rest,
and Kodol will do that.

PARLIAMENT SToRMED BY AN.
OTHER MOB OF WOMEN DE-
MANDING THE BALLOT.
CARRIED OUT BY FORCE
DEMONSTRATION RESULTS IN
MANY DRAMATIC AND CON-
IcAL SCENES.

London.-Suffrage disturbance:
have driven the government to the un
usual course of temporarily closing
the strangers and ladies' galleries in
the House OF Commons. This was an.
nounced by the speaker in response
and Mr.. Baifour, the leader of the op-
position, as Parliament was adjourn
ing Wednesday.
During the evening, while the house
was discussing the licensing bill, a
sensation was caused by the display of
placard AMI sudden shrill cries from
the ladies' gallery, demanding votes
for women, while simultaneously a
bundle of handbills fluttered down
from the strangers gallery at the op-
posite end Of the chamber and man
shouted protests against Injustice to
women"
Attendants hurried to the galleries
and the male offender was unceremon-
iously elected, but from the ladies'
gallery was heard a desperate strug-
gle. Two suffragettes had firmly
chained themselves to the grill and re.
sisted for time all efforts at re.
moval.
The scene was watched with amaze
ment from the floor of the house. Fin
ally the suffragettes were dragged
from their posts, but only after por-
tions of the grill We're removed with
them.
The removal of the two militant suf-
fragettes presented n comical scene
to those in tie corridors. Both of the
offenders We're laughing heartily when
they were escorted by a posse of po-
licemen, one of the officers carrying
that portion of the grill to which the
women were chained. They were con-
Quoted into a committee room and
workmen were summoned to file off
the iron from the chairs, which were
securely padlocked around the wo-
mems waists.
1t was found that the chains had
been carefully padded to prevent noise
and betrayal when the suffragettes en-
tered the ladies' gallery. The demon
stration had been planned beforehand
with great secrecy. One band was to
demonstrate outside the building an
other in the lobby of the house, and
third in the gallery. The gallery con-
tingent numbered fourteen, but it was
attended by many passive sympathiz-
ers.

WHY PREFERENCE FOR TAFT.
Sober Sentiment for the Considera
tion of Voters.

There is notable absence this
year of the popular enthusiasm that
has marked former national cam
paigns. Although the contest has
been one of personalities rather than
principles. the leading personalities
do not arouse the strong emotions OF
! the past.
Thus the situation is one in which
sober men intent on doing what is
best for the day, will WELD a mighty
power. Why is it better for such
men to prefer Mr.. Taft to Mr.. Bryan ?
Mr.. Taft promises to be radical in
the exact sense and to the exact limit
to which Mr.. Roosevelt is radical.
His chief endeavor will be to carry
out, so far as he can, the Roosevelt
policies Mr. Bryan promises to do
all this-and more. He is for the
same things that Mr.. Taft is, and for
more besides.
For instance. Mr.. Taft is pledged to
a comprehensive tariff revision. Mr..
Bryan sets as his goal a tariff for rev
enue only. Again. Mr.. Taft is not
pleased with some processes of the
courts and would alter them. Mr.
Bryan demands that these processes
be revolutionized. Again. Mr.. Taft
is for the popular election of senators
as a pious wish. Mr.. Bryan is for it
as definite program. And so on.
On one point only is Mr.. Taft more
radical than Mr.. Bryan. That is in
support of the plan of the Hepburn
amendment. He would have the
president made personal arbiter of
three-fourths of the country's business.
Mr.. Bryan would have as much gov.
erumental inspecting and regulating
of business. but he processes a pref
erence for state rather than national
control.
So much for the greater soberness
of the Taft policies. Next comes the
question whether Mr.. Taft or MI
Bryan, by temperament, by experience
and by party responsibility, would be
the less inclined to do revolutionary
things.
Here, too, the Judgment must be de-
cisive for Mr.. Taft. He has at least
judicial training, and he is not
likely to be a reviver of lost causes.
Both his past and present are soberer
than Mr.. Bryan's. And behind him is
the greater experience and proved
efficiency of the Republican party in
the actual business of government

Killing Birds Robs Posterity.

New York.-William butcher, presi-
dent of the National Association of Au-
dubon societies, declared at the annual
meeting of the association Tuesday that
Americans were robbing posterity and
permitting an annual crop loss of $780,
100000, due to destruction of insect
eating birds. He called for fund to
fight the commercial bird killers in
every state legislature.
''It we permit the heritage of wild
birds that still exist to be further
wasted and destroyed, we are .robbing
our children" Mr. butcher told the
delegates.
"The public, as trustees, are in honor
bound to preserve these wild birds for
those that follow us. We do not wish
our children to feel about us as we do
about our fathers, who permitted the
wanton and useless extinction of the
bison and the wild pigeon. In the mat
ter of bird legislation there is no rest
ing place; the only proce of satisfac-
tory bird protection is eternal watch
of legislatures, for. in an unguarded
moment an amendment may be
passed that will undo the work of
years.
