All states have laws to punish the
man or men who give or offer bribe
to voter to influence his choice in
an election. All states should enact
law to punish corporation that
attempts to influence an election by
promising raise in the wages of an
employe if certain men are elected.
A Philadelphia manufacturing con-
Germ having one thousand employees
has displayed signs to the effect that
in case Taft is elected raise of ten
per cent. in the wages Of their en-
ployees will b made. Possibly the
laws of Pennsylvania are not rigid
enough to reach such class OF elect
ion boodlers, yet such notice is no
less an attempt to influence votes by
Offering a monetary consideration,
and laws should be enacted that would
put an end to such practices.

The first element of common sense
and simple politeness is to learn how
to with our friend ON matters of pub
lie concern without denouncing him
as a vicious scoundrel. Men differ in
their opinions, and differ honestly,
and it a good thing that all don't see
alike. If every man in the country
could see and think just exactly alike
every man would be wanting to buy
the same horse, go the same way,
marry the same woman, live on the
same hillside and chew the same rag.
If this sort of condition prevailed life
would be the derndest conflict feller
ever got into. Give us light and lib
erty and let us think and act and be
friends and not get mad because we
don't all agree for if we did we'd get
madder.-Ripley Sentinel.

Congressman Nicholas Longworth,

Congressman Nicholas Longworth,
President Roosevelt's son-in-law, has
drawn upon himself the ire of the Re-
publican campaign managers by "giv-
ing away" the presidents presiden-
tial programme for the next sixteen
years. According to mick" the idea
is to have Taft serve eight years after
which Roosevelt is again to be the
president for term of eight years.
The Republican leaders are anxious
to eliminate Roosevelt from the DOM

keen blades out to lacerate "the pro-

Gov. Noel wants to see the estab-
lishment of Board of Pardons and
Appeals. The responsibility incum-
bent upon the governor in granting
or refusing pardons to prisoners is a
heavy one, and always accompanied
by much trouble and painstaking care
in prosecuting the proper investiga-
tion ere he is competent to reach a
decision as to his pardoning power,
and, of course, it is necessary that
he should be very careful at all times
to look into the matter thoroughly
ere he acts. We therefore fully agree
with Gov. Noel as to the urgent needs
of a pardoning board, and trust that
the next legislature may take the
matter up for consideration.-Panola

Cause of Explosion at the Lick Branch Plant is still a Mystery to Company Ofll-

Bluefields. W Va. Dec. 30-5The work of exploring the Lick Branch cof- fiery in which the disastrous explosion occurred yesterday still continues and tonight a total of thirty-eight dead have been discovered.
 Two of them were taken out alive and died from the effects of their ln- juries afterwards. Death was due to asphyxiation from after-damp and though the force of the death dealing blast was terrific.
 Mine cars shattered to splinters ana other debris was blown out of the en- frances and a hundred feet away from the mine mouth into the open.
 Mine inspectors have been on duty all day exploring the mines in search for bodies. The after damp Is lacking and no inconvenience has been en- countered by the rescuing parties from this source. which is very unusual.
 In a large building near the mines a temporary morgue has been estab- lished and this together with large area about the mine mouth has been ropei off to keep back the curious.
 There are many pitiful scene about the little village and tonight watchers sit by the collins of three in one home and in three other homes there are two awaiting irterment tomorrow.
 There is absence of the excitement usual in such accidents. but from many houses can be heard the means of women as husbands, fathers or brothers are brought home dead.
 It is estimated that the death list will reach fifty.
 The cause of the explosion Is still a mystery.

 The thirty-second, thirty-third and thirty-fourth rounds dragged on with the prospects apparently favorable to a finish of the forty-five rounds, but In the thirty ninth round, Barry's seconds suddenly threw up the sponge and the referee declared Kaufman the winner.
