" on his cheek. Elias eyes were sill on
the fallen leaves. 1t was a moment or
so before she spoke, then she said:
II wish to know II you like italy,"
He started at the abruptness, and In
appropriateness of the question. Was the
heiress laughing at him? Had she de:ec--
ed his mad passion? and was she foolins
him with a young girls incipient coIuet-
ry?
Italy, Miss Wycherly? 1t is The land
of the past, of romance, and music, and
art, and the language itself is melody,
the climate almost one long summer time.
Yes. l love Italy It is not my nature to
do things by halves"
''Oh. :" she said, "the climate, tire seen

Well, / am glad for a certain reason. 4
friend of mine, a dear-dearest-friend
is going there in twelve months from this
date"
She raised her black eyes nov from
the fallen leaves. Their light flasher
merciIessly upon Lionel's face and there
was surely a mischievous twinkle in them.

down again demurely at the leaves, lis

my interest in this friend Is intense, Mr..
Leigh-intense !"

1.-THE reasons I have for liking you, Mr..

Swisher 1T.

The Republican National Commit
tee on Wednesday announced that it
would recognize the Swisher ticket IN
West. Va, as the regular republican
ticket and would give its support to
that faction, that is, would give them
the Doodle. This naturally put the
Swisheeites in high glee but the fol-
lowers Of Arnold Scherr declare that
they are still in the game and will re-
main there until the voting is done.
This is triumph for the state ma
chine and it only remains to DO seen
whether or not the insurgents, as they
are called, will prove THAT they want
to rid the state of the machine and
it's corruption.
We cannon see how any man with
any degree of self respect could fall
from the position which they have
taken fer which they have been brand
ed as thieves and every other vile
rame, and support their abusers.

The democracy has splendid ticket
PIP in this county and it ought SO ap
pea. to every lover Of good government
in the county. Mr.. +. b. kettering,
the candidate for sheriff, is one of the
best and most respected citizens of the
county. He served as deputy under
Mr.. G. l.. Stucksy and proved himself
most capable and careful officer
Perhaps the most important office
which the voters will be called upon to
fill at the coming election is that of
county com missionsr. In this matter
the democracy is especially fortunate.
Its candidate, Mr.. Joseph N. Payne, is
one of the best citizens of the county.
He is large tax payer, and one of the
most careful and painstakiag business
men in the county and while he may
be relied upon to guard with care tie
peoples money he will prove himself
to be fully abreast with the times in
the matter of COED -oade, the most inn
portant thing to the farmers and other
business men of the county.
By all means vote for Payne.

Our friend Charles Peter Light ha'
been weeping and wailing over the
cruel and wicked democrats proposing
to DISTINGUISHING the negroes in West
Virginia, but we notice that he has
carefully avoided saying anything
about the Jim crow car proposition
How about that Charley? Tell the
people Of Berkeley county where you
and your party stand on tne jim crew
car proposition. Then If you stand fol
the jim crow cars do you favor jim
crow schools or mixed schools. You
may as well make your children go TO
school with negroes as to make our
wives, mothers. sisters aad children
ride in tue same car seat with them,
Do you and your party favor mixed
schools?Com cut without evasion and
answer, do yod and your new party
favor the whites and negroes riding in
the same railroad cars?

Under the new registration law there
is great discretionary powers given tt
the registering officer and he may
cause great Inconvenience aud injury
to good citizens If he should neglect or
through partisan bias fail to register
them or register persons who are not
entitled to vote. We believe the regis
trars Of this county are disposed to do
their duty without fear or favor. we
know some of them are doing their
best to do their duty faithfully and
honestly. Some of them have assured
us that they will have their books
open at all times for the inspection of
voters SO they may see what they are
doing and who has been registered. We
hope they will all do so.

Has the republican party been doing
Iany changing during the years 10
W hich they charge that the DEMOCRATIC
party has been making so many
changes? Let us see.
| The Republicans Of our own, Berke-
| Icy county in their convention assem-
bled in 1894 passed the following ress-
luton:
Resolved, That we feel the necessity
of larger circulation of the money OF
the constitution and demand the UNI
limited coinage at the ratio OF 10 to l..
Signed by U. S. g. Pitzer, Z. G. Tab
Ter, James II. Smith, G.. w. Bow man,
K. w. Vanmetre and Il w. Ropp.
The convention was presided over by
A. b. Smith, editor of the Herald and
II l.. Bender was secretary.
The republican National platform Of
1888 says: TIE republicans are in favor
of gold and silver as money and con-
denim the policy of the democratic adj
mInistration in its efforts to demone-
tie silver.
Their platform Of 1882 declared for
both gold and silver as standard money
and the great and sonly Mckinley on
November 5, 1877 voted for the free and
unlimited coinage Of gold and silver at
the ratio Of 16 to l.
Will Charles Peter deny that his
adopted party he's changed its posi-
ton?
Here we have the sight Of the COP.
declaring for free coinage of silver In
1892; in 1896 for free coinage of silver
by international agreement; in 1900
for the good standard; in 1908 for flex-
ible currency. In 1898 they declared
there were no trusts; IN 1900 there
were coed trusts land bad trusts; in
1904 for trust regulation; in 1908 for
more trust laws although they have
not fully enforeedsthe trust laws al
ready enacted.
In 1896 they declared for protection;
in 1900 they declared protection and
the gold standard brought prosperity;
in 1904 they stood pat on the tariff; in
1908 they declare for tariff revision in
such way "as to insure reasonable
profits to manufacturers"
In 1896 when the Democrats declar-
ed that we decided more money per
capita, the Republicans declared we
had plenty of money per capita and
only needed to make better use of 1t;
in 1900 they boasted of having dsubl-
ed the money per capita; in 1904 they
declared we had the best money sys-
tenn in the world, lin 1908 they have
declared we have the worst system in
the world and have been trying to doc
tor it in the interest of Wall street.
Whatever else they may do they
cannot reasonably discuss Democratic
platform changes until they have Of
fered a reasonable explanation for
their own.

Revenue Tariff Stimulates Business.
Declares Bryan

"a revenue tariff will not bring a
panic; it will not inaugurate industrial
depression: it will not reduce wages:
on the contrary, it will stimulate bust
ness and give more employment, and
larger demand for labor will be a
guaranty against the reduction OF
wages. A reduction of the tariff will
reduce the extortion that is now prac-
ticed because of the high schedules; a
reduction in price will enable more
people to buy, aud this larger demand
fer the goods will, put more people to
work and increase the number OF in
dustries. A lower price Will greatly
sti IA ulate export on, and manufacture
who are now crippled by tariff upon
what they use will be better prepared
to enter the contest for supremacy in
ths worlds trade.-WIlliam j. Bryan.

Charles Peter Light enllghtens tho
voters of this county by telling them
that there has been frequent NOM
nations by the democrats from the
law office of Faulkner, Walker and
Woods during the past ten years. How
about your own party Mr.. Light? Who
holds the office in the &. 0. p?
Mr.. Gerhardt hes held down the lucra-
tive office of Clerk of the Circuit Court
for twelve years and again nominated
for another six years without opposi-
tioE. No other republican in the coun-
ty capable of filling the office? Mr..
Alex Clohan has held the best federal
office in the county, postmaster oil
Martinsburg, for twelve years and
drawn from $50, 900, to $50, 900 frem the
government.
George NJ. Bowers has had the pleas
ure of drawing during the twelve years
he has been in office the paltry sum OF
SEQ, 900 with $4,000 contingent fund
for his office each year. E. G. Hen
shaw has copdesoended to hold the OF
flee of deputy internal revenue collect
or at a salary Of 1920 or $500 pei
year for twelve years or about $4,000
That is what we call a pretty coed

Our esteemed friend, Charles Peter
Light, in his organ, the Evening Jour
nal, has for some time been rehash-
ing lot Of stuff given out by republic
can writers and speakers about Mr..
Bryan and the democratic party
changing their position on issues but
he forgets to refer to the changes
made by prominent republicans and
the republican party, and the causes
for their changes. For instance Charls S
Peter does rot refer TO the fact that he
only few years ago believed in the
doctrines of the democratic party and
because he was not nominated for the
! House o. Delegates by the democrats
he was miraculously converted to the
republican faith.
The democrats did declare fcI
more money and the free and
unlimited coinage of gold and sill
yer and the ratio of 10 to l in 1896
The unprecedented production of gold
and the increase of government money
by the government during the next
few succeeding years brought up the
per capita cirsula tisn until the OBJ
ject sought bylthe democrats was reach
/ ed by another way than the way ehey
suggested and free coinage was no
