/ makes Mr.. Bennett the logical candi
date Gay Leader. -
| Mr.. Bennett is one of the best known
men in central West Virginia. He is
son of the late Jonathan M. Bennett,
who was Auditor of the Old State dur
ling or just before the war. and brother
of Judge w. G. Bennett, for many years
judge of his circuit Mr.. Bennett was, in
early life, principal of the Normal School
at Greenville. served term or two as
prosecuting attorney of his county and
some years ago. when SEPT to the House of
Delegates from Lewis county. was cleo
ted Speaker of the House and served in
this Office most acceptably to all con-
cerned. He is identified with no faction
of the party, is lawyer and business
man of independent means and lifelong
Democrat who has always been loyal
to the party and its nominee 1t is be-
lleved that if nominated and elected he
will discharge the responsible duties of
the Governors Office with dignity. ability
and honesty. with credit to himself and
his party and satisfaction to the people
of the state. -Greenbrier Independent.
In another column prominent citizen
suggests Hon. Louis Bennett, of Weston,
as the Democratic candidate for COVER
nor of West Virginia. and gives some
sound and logical reasons why his selec-
ton would be one of the wisest the par
ty could possibly make. Mr.. Bennett is
not allied with any faction in the party,
and it is reasonable TO suppose that if he
were the nominee he would inspire har-
mony and enthusiasm among the rank
and file of the voters. His honorable
career and his conspicuous ability would
be added factors to strengthen him be-
fore the people. and few men in the state
could secure such large percentage of
the so-called independent vote. De-
mocracy must present candidate who
will not only command the solid support
OF his own party. but will appeal to IN
dependent voters and dissatisfied Repub
licans, and who. if elected, will give a
clean. able, economical and dignlfed adj
ministration of state affairs. Such a
man is Louis Bennett Wheeling Regis.
ter.
Hon. Louis Bennett. of Weston, is the
only prominent Democrat in the State
who has made public announcement of
his desire to be the Democratic nominee
for governor. A lawyer of experience
and ability and citizen of unquestioned
integrity, Mr. Bennett measures up to the
best ideals of what the public thinks a
governor should be. He is no stranger
dis last public service was as speaker of
the house of delegates, IN which capacity
he displayed that frmness, fairness and
knowledge of law and legislation which
has caused his incumbency to be referred
to as the ablest the legislature ever had
Mr. Bennett belongs rather to the old
school of democracy, which stands f,r
P inciples. and which considers Office
merely as means to the accomplishment
of good. -Parkersburg Sentinel.

NEW YORK. Jan. 20.-In re-
viewing the business of the country
for last week, R. G.. Dun & Co. said:
Progress is slow, but each week
brings a little Improvement and
confidence in the future grows more
rapidly than current transactions.
The best feature is the broader mar
ket for commercial paper.
Loans in mercantile channels are
now negotiated freely at little more
than the normal rate, facilitating
proposed undertakings and making
collections more prompt.
Buyers are coming into the lead
ing markets in large numbers,
which should soon increase transac-
lions, unless prices cannot be adj
justed.
Manufacturers increase produc-
tions gradually, conservatism being
general, and many industrfa1s are
not operating more than so per cent
of their full capacity.
Readjustment of wages is still
contemplated by many producers
before machinery VIII be started.
Several more steel plants have
resumed and others will start UP
next week, but production VIII con-
tinue much reduced until orders
come forward with greater free
dom.
Blast furnaces are slow to re-
sumo and meeting VIII be held
next week to determine upon the
wage scale.
Prices have declined tn an extent
that necessitetes plans for lowering
costs of production.

LONDON, Jan. 20.-The passage
of the London Times from the con-
troll of the Walter family, in which
it had been vested for three genera
tons, to the hands of c. Arthur
Pearson, the Yankee yellow jour
nalfst of London, has already been
marked by minor changes tending to
make 1.-THE Thunderer" of a more
popular nature.
Fears are entertained in high cir
cfes that the Times, which has be-
come an institution almost as inn
portant as the Bank of England and
has achieved in the past reputa-
tion as the worlds foremost news
paper. will degenerate under the
ownership of Pearson.
Many projects for the purchase OF
the Times and its restoration to Its
old staid responsibility are being
discussed.

STRONGnEART A
GOOD INDIAN
RALPH STUART'S COLLEGE PLAY
TONIGHT WILL GIVE oPPoR-
TUNITY TO STUDY INDIAN
CHARACTER AT IT'S BEST

"Strongheart," the college play In
which Ralph Stuart will appe ~
here tonight, at the Temple theatar,
is creating much interest among
theater goers of this city, as the de-
mand for seats is unusually large.
The play tells the story of an edu-
Gated full-brooded Indian, who is
finishing postgraduate course at
Columbia university, New York,
who Is a past master at football, a
good fellow and a friend to every
body who knows him, but because of
his love for a Caucasian, finds that
the knife of prejudice has cut the
ties of friendship" and that he has
been ostracized from their set be-
cause he is an Indian.
The play is extremely novel. is
absolutely unique and original, as
an Indian hero has never before
heen utilized for stage purposes. Mr..
Stuart's characterization of the red
skin Is said to be one of the most
delightful bits of acting seen in this
country in long time. The ~ v
has proved notable success, and
the company, whose number is rs,
is said to be one of excellence. The
scenes have to do with, college life.
and are in consequence full of good
genuine comedy.
