MUST BEAR PROPER LABEL

Beginning July 1, all brands of vhiskey sold within the confines If the United States must be cor rectly la beIed. in accordance with the rules and specification promul- gated by the internal revenue de- partment. These regulations, which beca me effective July 1, have neen harmonized with the provis- ions of the pure food and drug act, with the result that distillers and blenders all over the country are up in arms and declare that they will appeal to the courts for relief from obnoxious rulings.
 So far as the trade is concerned the most important feature of the ruling in this connection is the fact that hereafter labels must appear "withnut the addition of any ad iective or descriptive word" This eliminates rye" and Bourbon" which heretofore have been used 10 descrihe the kind of whisky.
 Heretofore, all whisky, whether blended. artistically colored or aged or mixed with other spirits, has been marked whisky" on the barrels, as they have been filled and shipped from the distilleries and places of reotification.
 Hereafter, what is known as ''straieht whisky" that is, an ar ticle that has been aged by time and not mixed with other spirits. will be marked whisky" and only that.

The Editor "Had Him"

There cannot be much satisfac- ton in "goin' around and liekin' the editor" when the editor not only makes copy out of the encoun ter. but pictures himself as the hero as we'll. The following vivid pen picture is taken from the editorial columns of an Iowa journal:
 There was blow. Somebody fell We got up Turning upon our antagonist, we succeeded in winding his arms around our waist and by quick maneuver threw him on top of us. bringing our back at the same time. in contact with the solid bed of the printing press Then. inserting nose be- tween his teeth and cleverly en- tangling his teeth in our hair. we l al him."

Hinton Independent-Herald.

Hinton dCpendent-Hera
Thu Daily Leader or Bluefell has
exposed the rottenness OF Mcdowell
county. Not single paper in West
Virginia either Il publican or Dem
ocrat has had the tcmer.ty to d ny
that the Bluefeld Leader told the
absolute truth. The Mcdowell Re
corier, an excellent Republican pa
per in Mcdowell the Bluefield Dali
ly Telegraph and other Republican
papers have never published one
line denying the charges Of thaBlue-
field Daily Leader. II these charg-
es are not true these Republican pa
pers could say so. If they are true
II is disgrace TO West Virginia.
We take 1t from the evidence that
the Republican leaders in Mcdowell
unable to deny their shame have re-
sorted to criminal brutality in or
der to try to terrorize people from
talking about them II this com
Daratively small bunch think they
can buck the decency of the whole
United States let them crack down.
If they think that the respectable
element of the Republican party IN
this state Will up hold them in bru-
tally and crime in order to get
their votes they are very much mis-
Rken. The only thing that haa
saved them from defeat now by the
respectable element i'm their owp
party is that they have heretofore
succeeded In making people believe
that the charges of rottenness circu-
lated against them were campaign
lies. The BlueHeld Daily Leader is
a responsible newspaper 1t is a
corporate enterprise worth from
eighteen to twenty thousand dOl.ai.
so we are Informed 1t has a daily
circulation of from 1000 to 1000
If the charges are not true the
Republican newspapers can say so
and the parties against whom the
charges were made are not without
remedy. If they are true then what
excuse can be made for those re-
sponsible for such conditions as OK
list in Mcdowell? Is It not con
flrmation of every charge made by
the Democratic party ami the fol-
lowers of Arnold Scherr i'm the Re
publican party?

If DR.. Hatfield and the Mcdowell
gang think they can stop comments
upon their nefarious doings by at
tacks upon newspaper men they
have reckoned without their host
The best way in the world to brine
about discussion and investigation
is to make just such cowardly at.
tacks as that made upon Kits al
Welch. That brings Mcdowell coun-
~ into the limeight az nothing else
could do. And when the light ne
gins to shine upon ITS methods The
gang must go.

The gauge thrown down by the
Democrats in the adoption Of the
anti negro planks in it's platform
has been accepted by the Swisher-
ties, and the fight is on. The
amended platform of the wigwam
Republicans contains a plank de-
claring in favor of retaining the ne
gro as a voter and allowing him
to continue to ride in railway
coaches with the whites. This
makes the issue as clear as it is pos
sible to make 1t. and no matter
what local candidates in various
communities may think, If their
names appear on the Swisher ticket
they must make their races on that
plank. That will cost the entire
ticket thousands OF votes in the
southern counties of the state.

Editor Blucfield Leader:
Some ar my boyhood lays were
spent IN Mcdowell count, w. Va,
when conditions were not such as
they are pictured now, and IT is
with feelings of regret that note
the moral depravity that has been
exposed there. l am assured that
Mcdowell has some good people and
70 them my sympathy goes out when
| reflect that they are handicapped
by such conditions as prevail in
their midst.
Now in connection with this ex-
posure. wish to say that while /
have not the pleasure of personal
acquaintance with Editor Kits, OF
the Leader, / deeply sympathize
with him on account of the coward
ly attack made upon him at WEIGH.
To my mind it is the duty of every
newspaper worthy of patronage of
good people, to expose such polit-
cal and moral rottenness as that
which has lately been mazda to the
public through the columns of the
Leader Ana | may add that | have
faith enough in the integrity of the
people to believe that Editor Kits
hand will be upheld, and that right
will prevail.
Very truly,

1.-THE PERSONAL OPINIONS OF
MIR. TAFT"

New York World.
These are only the personal
opinions of Mr.. Taft The party's
position is expressed in its platform
utterance. Senator Hopkins chair
man of the committee on resou-
tons OF the Chicago convention.
That is just tho troubIe-no mat
ter how admirable Mr.. Taft may be
as an individual, as a president he
could be no better than his party
The honest convictions and gener-
Gus principles which lift him above
his party would remain only per
sonal opinions" The sordid part
nership with privilege and plutocra-
cy which debases his party beneath
him would yet peer forth in "the
party's promises which 1t is boun |
to fulfill"-promises of silence as
well as of utterance, for the Chicago
platform omitted itcelf even more
significantly than it committed it
self.
No president can accomplish
more than his party permits so long
as that party is in power. Roosevelt
came as near doing so. perhaps. as
any president ever dill, with the
help OF Democrats and denuncia-
ton. But even a panic could not
pry asunder his party and its part
ners.
What then could William II. Taft
achieve beyond and above "the par
tvs position?" The victim Of a par
ty and predecessor. bagged by the
one and bewildere1 by the other.
how far could he founder toward
those administrative aspiration and
statesmanhke Heals which would
ever remain "the personal opinion
OF Mr. Taft"
