scherr's Real Backcrs.

Strong hints have been thrown out
in this campaign that the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad Company is interest
ed in the Parkersburg Dispatch-News,
and Ex-Governor White in card in
the Wheeling Intelligencer confirms
the hints. Mr.. White says that when
the Dispatch and the News consoli-
dated three years ago $4,000 of the
money was furnished by the Balti-
more & Ohio and the Western Mary
land railroad interests. He says
Hugh Bond for the Baltimore & Ohio
put up $2S,O0O and the Western
Maryland $4,000.
The point at issue has been who
owned that newspaper, for the reason
that It has been and is one of Arnold
c. Scherr's hackers, and, now It hav-
ing been confirmed that the railroad
has some control, some interest In it,
the cause OF Arnold c. Scherr does
not appeal to the people, but is in
fact that OF the big railroad corpora
ton. This fully accounts for the
support he gets from the Dispatch
News and is real eye-opener as to
what course scherr would pursue, II
elected governor. Railroad assess
ments would then go down and the
two-cent fare would be wiped off the
statute books. These two things are
amply sufficient to turn the people
against Scherr, and this people be-
lieVes and they have about all de-
serted him.

| pairing the primary vote for governor
with the presidential vote. Let us
take the vote for governor in 1900
then. In that year the Democratic
candidate polled 1896 votes and
the Republican candidate for COVER
nor $50, 1913 votes. the plurality be
ing 61,232. subtracting this plur-
ality from the plurality OF the pri-
marles just held, the mere triHe OF
244,165 votes results as the differ
eRce In favor Of the Republicans.
But, as the primary vote represents
only half the gubernatorIal vote, let
US cut the gubernatorial vote Of 1900
in half. Thus we find gain of only
274,7S1 fayoring the Republican
ticket this year
But these are presidential years,
some will object. Why not compare
the vote for an "off" year? The
last on year vote obtainable by
the Telegram at present was for
treasurer in 1902 when the Demo-
cratic candidate received 36O,925
votes, and the Republican candidate
45O,695, the plurality being S9,770.
But 1t must be bourne in mind that
this is a presidential year and the
vote should not be compared with an
of" year in order to derive an APP
proximately accurate comparison.
In 1904 the presidential vote in
Illinois was 327,606 for Parker and
G32,645 for Roosevelt, the latter's
plurality being 3O5,03 This plur-
allty compared with the plurality OF
the primaries just held shows big
Democratic loss for this year, as by
halving the presidential vote we find
a difference in favor OF the Repub-
licans this year OF the small matter OF
152,S78 votes.
Objection may still come upon the
ground that primary election such
as the one just held in Illinois, does
not represent the full strength OF
state, as only comparatively light
vote is polled at primaries. This is
true and cannot be denied; but suf-
flcient amount of the vote is repre-
sented in the figures Of the primaries
given to indicate how the cat will
hop in Illinois this Fall, If anything
at all is to be derived from voting
figures.
II Bryan and the Democrats can do
no better than what indications point
to, the declaration of the Peerless
Fakir OF the La Platte that he would
not again be candidate for the pres
ldency will hold good without any
subjunctive qualifications about the
matter.

Illinois in Line.

If any significance whatever can
be attached to the vote for governor
at the primaries just held in the state
OF Illinois, the services OF a scien-
tiiic mathematician will not be re-
quired to figure out which way the
cat is going to hop at the general
election to be held in that state this
Fall.
On the face of the returns from
the primaries, as given by the Chi
cago Examiner, the total Republican
vote for governor was 417,2O3. This
was divided between Charles S.
Denccn, who received 217,472 votes,
and Richard Yates, who received
199,731 votes The total Democratic
vote was 1i11,S06, divided among Ad-
lal f. Stevenson, James Hamilton
Lewis, John p McGoorty, Douglas
Pattison and Charles T. Gunther,
Stevenson winning out by plural
ity of $4,000.
SubstraCting the total Democratic
vote from the total Republican vote
the remarkable remainder Of 305,397
votes results.
Now II that is the way the people
OF that state are going to vote this
Fall, William Jennings Bryan is so,
ing to lose ii by much larger vote
than the last time he fooled the
Democracy and tried to fool the PEG
pie by running for the presidential
job. In 1900 Bryan polled 5O3,O61
votes in that state, Mckinley 597,9 S5
McKlnley's plurality being 94,924
There is difference Of a mere gao,
47S votes more for the Republican
ticket over the vote OF eight year!
ago. The figures Of the primarie!
show that about half Of the tota

schcrr Crowd Mobhlcs.

In its last throes the little bunch
Of dlsgruntled ofTlce-seekers, known
as the Scherr crowd, lodges from
side to side, wobbles just like
wagon wheel about to collapse, one
with the hub worn out.
At first they dwelt on the willing
ness OF Scherr to quit the race, next
his eagerness to hold the preliminary
campaign all over again, and then
they mentioned Congressman George
c. Sturgiss as compromise candi-
date. They advanced every thing
they could conceive OF to iniure, If
possible, the regular ticket, even to
the extent of denouncing the person
mel of that ticket though In truth
they would be glad to have most of
the members Of that ticket on their
bogus ticket.
All these attitudes, taken by them,
however, had no effect. Not single
word they have said, not single
falsehood they have circulated, not a
single plan they have proposed has
succeeded in clustering around them
any more than they we're from the
beginning. Indeed. they are sicken-
ed and saddened to see their
strength diminishing every day and
have become desperate at last, as
shown by the position they assume
now, when they make the declaration
that there will be no compromise on

vince all that they keenly appreciate
the depths of their despond and the
hopelessness OF their cause, such as
they term It. In truth, their own
course but depicts their conviction
and knowledge OF the futility OF
their effort to turn the state over to
the Democrats or to surround them
selves with following that would
creditably count in the campaign.
Thus with numbers waning and the
only hope gone, 1t is not amiss OF
them that they iilould founder from
side to side and wobble like the old
wheel alluded to at the first OF this
editorial.

THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH.

At the Christian church yesterday l.. Williams. the minister. chose for his theme The Advance of the Lords Day" He said in the old covenant the Jews were commanded to keep the seventh day which was called the Sabbath. It was a day of rest and of public worship commemorating the event of the escape from the destroy ing angel through the blood of a lamb sprinkled on the door posts on the even of the departure from Egyp- tian bondage. Tn the New Testament by precedent of Christ himself the first day of the week became the day of rest and of public worship. After his resurrection Jesus appeared to his dis ciples on the first day of the week and the church was established in Jerusa- lem by the spirit filled apostles on the day of Pentecost which was the first day of the week. The institution of the Lords day and the Lords supper were given to commemorate the death of Jesus for mans sin and his reSur- rection for mans justification. These are the cardinal doctrines of the gos- pei which is the power of God unto salvation.
 The wisdom of Christ is manifest in giving to the church a day to be kept sacred Mans body needs one day in seven for rest. The human mind needs change from the material to the spiritual All the moral and re- lgious faculties of man are refreshed and nurtured by meeting in the public assembly to praise God and honor Christ. Here men come to voice their
 gratitude to one who has redeemed them from sin and given the hope of life eternal. To the Christian it is the best day in the week and he re- joices in the privileges of fellowship unto the redeemed and with the re- deemer.
 Let it be our pleasure to hold thls day sacred for the Christ who has re- created us. Desecrate the day and then follows the loss of reverence flor sacred things. With irreverence comes disregard for all authority and the soul loses it's hold on God. It is far better to obey Christ. to follow his lead in their sacred precedent Our i'm mortal souls need the day and all its privileges.
 One of the most ominOus signs of the times is the worlds disregard of the Lords day The sense of authority, both civil and religious, is being de-

stroyed. Some. for \greed, work and others for pleasure play on the Lords day. All unaware of the loss of the immortal soul. It bodes ill for the na- ton when God and Christ are forgot ten. God holds in his hands the des- tiny of nations. and He works out his purposes. The Jews disregarded the Sabbath and went into bondage. Rome forgot Gods day and his statute and went into oblivion. No nation can per sist that forgets things sacred.

Oyster Bay, N. Y.-President Roose-

which is planned for next year, will
decrease the presidential savings some
100000 to $4,000 at a low estimate,
but, inasmuch as Mr.. Roosevelt al

isn't worrying the family banker.
What is concerning all the Roose-

the president may be summed up as
things that might happen on that
trip" 1t is no small matter, this 20

One experience of punishment has
been enough for many men past that
age.
But when a man is undeterred by
punishment and goes on committing
one crime after another, then we
think society owes it to itself to take
