MIR. LEWIS AN EASY WINNER

The indications all point to the
overwhelming return of Congressman
Lewis to the House of Representatives
for another and last term.
Advices from all over the district
indicate that the great mass of the
people are we'll satisfied with the
work done by Mr. Lewis, feel that it
is wise and proper to return him for
another two years in Congress, and
that the vote that will be given him
at the primary will be the largest he
has ever received.
While this will be very gratifying
to Mr.. Lewis and his friends it is no
more than was to be expected. No
reasonable reason has been advanced
for change at this time in the repre-
sentation of the Third District at
Washington. Mr.. Hughes has signal
ly failed to give any reason why he
should replace Mr.. Lewis, and the
reasons why he should not are APP
parent to all. Mr.. Hughes idea that
because he stands for a revision of
the tariff and for the downing of the
trusts he should be elected to Con-
gress is hardly worthy of considera-
ton Every Democrat in the District
stands for these things. Mr.. Lewis
has been a sincere believer in and
supporter of such democratic meas
ures during his entire public life. The
very fact that Mr.. Hughes cannot
bring forward any better reasons than
he does is the cause of the weakness
his campaign is showing.
AS far as can be learned absolute
ly no enthusiasm has been awakened
for Mr. Hughes in this campaign.
The outlook is that his vote will be
very much below what it was in his
last campaign. While he is doing his
best in the handshaking way to Sc
| cure votes the tide seems to have
set in very strongly against him. From
various parts of the district comes
word that men who supported Mr..
Hughes two years ago are opposed
to him now, and believe that Mr..
| Lewis should have another term to
round up his work at Washington.
1t is a safe prediction that the vote
of Mr. Hughes will be much smaller
| than when he ran before, and that
Mr.. Lewis will go back to Congress
with a popular endorsement that
will testify to the fact that the voters
of the Third District have been salts
| fed with his work there and are
more than willing for him to close
his public career by two years more
of efforts in their behalf at the nat
| ional capital.

The FOOR, and Their Money.
philadelphia Ledger.)

If the people of the United States
ought to be informed of the actions of
the bomb-throwers and anarchists,
ought they also not to know VIII at
Madame Gould and the Prince de
Sagan and the Due de Chaulnes are
doing? Jay Gould was one of the
greatest geniuses at wrecking a
railroad the country has known; he
was a pioneer, and amassed millions.
How are the heirs to this money
spending it? 1t is impracticable and
foolish to suggest to Americans of
age that the De Chaulnes-Shonts mar
riage and the honeymoon trip to
Paris, which had so lamentable and
ridiculous an ending, is not legiti-
mate news.
Theodore Perry Shonts is one of
our great successful men; he was
chosen to build the Panama canal;
he was later selected to undertake
the colossal task of giving New York s
millions real rapid transit. How do
the rich, successful men of America
and their families comport themsel-
YES when they strike pay dirt?'
Miss Shonts married a spendthrift
nobody with an extinct title, and
seems to have palpably sought motor
iety by marrying the notorious per-
son. On entering Paris mob of
shopkeepers besieged these happy
members of the nobility, and demand
ed payment of the Dukes miscellan-
eous debts. The shameless constales
and duns actually made a demonstra-
ton at the Dukes hotel.
Now, if the most prominent and
wealthiest families of the United
States are bent on marrying the most
notorious of the alleged nobility of
Europe, it will not do to say that
the people should remain ignorant of
the conditions The divorce habit,
wonderfully prevalent among the
very rich, is a very ugly and disgust
ing subject, but no attempt should be
made to suppress the news. The eff
fort which churches and lawyers as
sociations and various philanthropic
bodies are now making to bring about
some sort of reform in the divorce
laws is the result of the general
knowledge tht the evil has become a
canker.
The people of the United States are
not weakhngs They should know
the truth They should be permitted
to learn if it be true that the nation
is losing it's fearful innoncence" and
respect for household laws" 1t is
the duty of the faithful ehronicler of
the news to depict as we'll as to
shoot folly as it flies.

A DYING SHREK

The late Lee County Journal, when
almost in the throes of dissolution,
with one foot in the grave and the
other in the Legislature, snatches a
few brief moments from the grim
destroyer to work itself into a frenzy
over the alleged results if Joe Brown
were elected Governor.
In a burst of prophetic vision, the
Lee County Journal sees Joe Brown
in the attitude of the Devil himself,
sending women and children to their
graves from drunken hands, with dog
geries at every crossroads, totally
regardless of the three-mile limit
for schools and churches. At the
close of this cataleptic state the
Journal, having metamorphosed it
self into the person of Joe Brown, thus
exclaims:
Il, Joe Brown, say unto you, |
will not oppose the debauchery OF
my state, | will not put single stone
in the way of the beer wagon mote:
Hoke Smith favors the beer wagon
and light winesO, and the besotted
dive-the millions of the whiskey as
ISOLATION being my aid that 1 may fly
swift to my revenge. AS a harpy will
| prey upon the heart of the tear
eyed woman, and the hungry children
of the helpless drunkard."
1t must have required all the arts
of a Svengali to awaken the Journal
from such trance, but in some mys-
terious manner the descent was made
to terra firma again.
Well, never mind. Though the rum
fiend will be deprived of the fierce
attacks of the Lee County Journal,
which has again departed this life,
its editor has gone to a higher sta
tion-in other words he has been
elected member of the Legislature.
What can Joe Brown do anyhow,
with Editor Beazley perched upon
his eyrie to give warning of the ap-
proach of the whiskey demon. (He
will not of course notice the beer
and light wine advocate stealing up)
Even if Joe Brown is elected, we
will still have Editor Beazley in his
legislative capacity to save us from
the drink demon, and we are not
afraid

CORRECTING A BLUNDER

Realizing the mistake made in
substituting the popular vote plan of
nominating the governor for the
county plan, a meeting of the state
executive committee has been called
for April "a to consider the matter of
returning to the old plan. The small
counties have been nursing their
wrath against the Smith regime for
this act and it has doubtless seemed
expedient to rescind the decision.
But the real reason is that the
larger counties are preparing to
give Joe Brown such large majority
that the Smith managers are alarmed
lest this big vote sweep away his own
like chaff. Smith has evidently con-
ceded the loss of Fulton, Chatham,
Richmond, Bibb and other large vot-
ing counties, hence he wants to pre-
vent their big majorities against him
from weighing too heavily. To sweep
the state by popular vote, as Hoke
Smith was so sure he would do unan-
imously, would sound so much larger
than a few hundred votes from the
county representatives
While they are about it, the COM
| mittee should also rescind the decis-
ion to allow the candidate who car
ries the state to name the delegates
to the national convention. This pow
er is too autocratic to be left in the
| hands of one man. The county delega-
tions are fully equal to the task. The
anomaly of a Hoke Smith delegate
going from a Joe Brown county would
be avoided, or vice versa. While
some of the counties do not have a
| large voting strength, they are as
| jealous of their subdivision as the
| larger counties.
What seemed the spoils of the vic
tor for his own ACKNOWLEDGMENT has
been made a sort of boomerang which
will aid in wrestling from Hoke
Smith his remaining strength in the
smaller counties The larger ones
| are practically sure to repudiate him
| Gov Smiths campaign has been {
| series of mistakes, and the efforts tC
| rectify this blunder will be an admis-
sion that this was a big one.

ONE TEAM I'M THE
POM. is THE IDEA

under Fairmonts benevolent wings
was thoroughly discussed and the
warmth Of expression had cooled
down slightly, the question of get.
ting into the P. Q. NJ. league with
single team was taken up. This
idea seemed to meet with enthusiast
tic approval, and tossing the Fair
mont dictation into the corner. the
fans figured on this feature as being
the most sensible and practicable in
the circumstances providing 1t could
be carried out.
At present the P. o. NJ. league is
six club affair and of course
Clarksburg could not get into it on a
seven club proposition. An addi-
tional club would be necessary to in
crease the league to its next possible
notch so the plan OF taking in an
other club was discussed. Washing
ton, Pa, pulled out of the P. o. NJ.
because of an indebtedness Of some
thing like 5000 which was left at
the close Of last season. The Clarks-
burg fans took up the idea of help
ing Washington pay OFF this indebt-
edness and pulling back into the
league thus making an eight team or
gani2ation out Of the p. 0. NJ. and
letting Clarksburg in with Just as
much of muchness as the super
cilious crowd down the Monongahela.
This was approved and resolution
was adopted instruoting the directors
to make an agreement to pay rea-
sonable share of Washingtons in
debtedness providing that city comes
into the league again.
The directors were further in
structed to meet with a delegation
Of the Fairmont association at the
same place tonight to hear what they
have to say about the matter.

Promoters Of a CIarksburg
Team Do Not Like Scheme Of
Combination With Fairmont.

Clarksburg baseballdom indig-
nantly refuses to receive dictation
from the Fairmont fans in the mat
ter Of putting a P. 0. NJ. league team
into this city. With emphatic words
this sentiment was forcibly express
ed by the promoters Of the P. 0. N.
team movement in Clarksburg at a
meeting held in room 200 of the
Waldo hotel Tuesday night.
A good representation Of those
who have subscribed to the fund for
the forming Of Clarksburg P. O. NJ.
team was present at the meeting
which was called for the purpose Of
taking preliminary steps toward
forming a permanent organization
and to endeayor to locate Clarksburg
properly on the baseball map.

and r. ]. Galley we're elected as d.
rectors. viii. H. Cole presided at
the meeting and L. A. Carr and A.
B. Hall acted as temporary secretar-
les.
About the first subject discussed
was the philanthropic solicitude dis
played by the Fairmont fans toward
Clarksburg. The more this was dis
cussed the more apparent 1t seemed
to those participating that the Fair
mont crowd is seeking to do the
benevolent assimilation stunt with
Clarksburg in order to put sub
stautial prop under the Fairmont
baseball scheme The brazen an
Inducements that Thomas Raymond
is going to be president and that
either Freddy" Mack or Buck
wheat" Jackson is to manage the
proposed bifurcated team made most
of the fans present hot under the
ueckband when referring TO them. A
brief review Of last seasons league
baseball in Clarksburg strengthened
their belief that Clarksburg has had
enough dictation from the Fairmont
end to suffice for several moons and
also that Clarksburg fans are indie
pendent enough and have enough get
up about them to exercise their Volt
ton concerning their own baseball
enterprises.
Some of the talk to this effect was
pretty warm but there didn't seem
to be any equiyocation about it.
