HOW THE DEnocRATs DO 1T.

Since the disgraceful scenes of Wednes-
day last at Twin Falls, when the two fac
tions of the democratic party fought to con-
troll the state convention by main force, it
is safe to say that the ranks of the party
under its present condition are greatly re-
duced.
The good people who attended this
meeting were thoroughly Disguised with the
conduct of this convention, and the frantic
effort of the Dubois followers to maintain
their control of the party almost led to
blows in several cases.
& would expect such conduct from
heathens, = said returning delegate, 'sbut
| never dreamed I would witness such
scenes in a gathering of civilized people,
From the beginning there was no ele-
ment of political contest in the fight
There was no inclination to measure their
strength by vote and allowing the major
ity to rule
1t was policy that would rule, and
rule by force, and take no chance on the
uncertainty of q popular vote TO decide the
controversy.
The Dubois people showed by their move
ments that they had decided that the force
and organization of their minority should
control the convention. They banded
themselves together at Pocatello and went
in special to Twin Falls. Those not
agreeing with them were not considered
democrats and were elected from the train
at points along the way. They were in town
of course ahead of the other delegates, and
and marched to the hall and occupied the
front seats, shutting the others out from
chance of being near the chairman, or tax
ing part.
us customary in all conventions to pre-
viously arrange the seats and have each
county in a location which is labeled. They
are usually arranged alphabetically which
is considered a fair distribution of the
seats.
It was the duty of the State Central
Committee TO arrange this seating, but Du-
bois had control Of the State Central Com
mittee and of course did not want to lose
the advantage Of grouping his delegates
together in the front of the hall where they
could shut off all interference.
When the question of seating the dele
gates was finally settled the Dubois people,
BIZ virtue of the fact that they controlled
the central committee, attempted to force

We spend 90 hours to prepare Map1-Flake,
yet faxed foods can be made in one-fourth OF
that time.
Our wheat is steam-cooked for six hours
cooked in pure maple syrup. Then it is cured
for days.
Then each separate berry is faxed as thin as
paper, so the full heat of our ovens can pene-
trate.
Then those thin fakes are toasted 80 minutes
in a heat of 400 degrees.
That long process is necessary to perfect d.
gestion. Every food expert knows this.
The particles must be separated, by heat and
BY cooking, so the digestive juices can get to
them
Otherwise half of the food is wasted 1t fer
ments and initiates the stomach lining.
Even mere economy demands Mapl-E1ake
the one food that's all food-the food that will
all digest.
To make the best food most delicious, we cook
the wheat in pure maple syrup.
We do this to make the flavor enticing, so chill
dren will want it. You don't need to urge them
to eat it.
If you serve them afterward an inferior food,
they'll urge you back to this.
1t is well TO have it so. For no other cereal
none of the fad .foods-is half SO good for chill
dren as this perfect wheat.
In these hot days, when meat is too heating,
MapI-EIake is most important.

The Presbyterian Church.


The history and growth of the Pres
byterian church in Berkeley county,
is closely interviewer with the growth
and history of this section of the state,
and forms very interesting chaptes
in the development Of religion in THIS
community. No authentic record o.
the early days of the Presbyterian
church in this country are obtainable,
but it is stated on reliable authority
that the Presbyterian church was es-
tablished in this section early in the
eighteenth century, thus making it one
OF the oldest denominations in this
section of the yirginias.
1t is probable that the first Pres
byterian church in Berkeley county
was what is still known as the Tus $
carora church, situated along the Tus-
carora turnpike, about four miles
southwest of the city, and where reg
ular services are still held, the pull
pit being supplied by the Martinsburg
minister. This church grew and -four
ished, but many members living in
Martinsburg desired house of wor-
ship OF their own, so the Winchester
presbytery in 1926, authorized the
organization of the Martinsburg
church out Of the Tuscarora church,
which later became of secondary inn
portance to the church in this city.
The first house of worship OF the
Presbyterians of Martinsburg was
completed in 1926 on the site of the
present government building, corner
of King street and Maple avenue.
Here the organization worshipped I'M
til 1851, when the congregation erect
ed an edifice devoted to the worship
of God on the site Of the present hand
some building.
The first minister of the church in
this city was Rev Dr. John Matthews,
who served from 1926 to 1891 He
was succeeded by Rev. Dr. William G.
Matthews. who was stationed here UNI
til 1886 Following Rev. Mr.. Matthews
came Rev. DR.. Payton Harrison, who
was pastor for seven years. In 1916
Rev. John Boggs served the local
church, and was succeeded in 1S47 by
Rev. William Love, who remained un-
I'll 1849. Rev. r. T. Berry was the
Evening journal. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1907-1913, 1908-01-04

The building is of colonial style OF
architecture, the material being press
ca brick, with dressed stone founda-
|tion extending several feet above the
ground. The erection of the edifice
was in charge of the following build
ing committee: G. j. Faulkner,
chairman; w. G. Mulliss, secretary;
w. A. Gard, treasurer; E. p. H. Har-
rison, w. o. Nicklas, M. A, Snodgrass,
C. w. Boyer, Stuart w. Walker, George
NJ. Bowers, Alex Clohan.
The building contains c.scions
auditorium, pastors room, depart
ments for the Sunday school, rooms
for entertainments, etc. 1t is hand
somely frescoed. and is one of the
most attractive and convenient houses
of worship in this entire section.
The comunicants of the church
number nearly 300, and there is also
q large and aourishing Sunday school
The church organization also en-
braces several large societies as fol-
lows Ladies Foreign Mission socie-
ty, the F. NJ Woods Foreign Mis-
sion hand, the Home Mission socie-
". and the Ladies Aid society

The church which was torn down
in 1901 to make way for the present
handsome edifice was er ord in 1851
and dedicated November 10 of that
year, during the pastorate of Rev. r.
IT. Berry. 1t served the congregation
for half-century. During the pas
! torate of Rev. Dr. Woods the manse,
on South Queen street, was erected,
, and was first occupied April 80, 1888.
Il is one of the handsomest resi-
dences in the city.
The present church edifice which
stands on the site Of the former
church, is one of the handsomest in
this section of sthe country. 1t was
begun on May Z, 1902, when the cor.
Iner stone was laid with impressive
ceremonies in the presence Of large
concourse Of people. Despite the
great amount of work connected with
the erection of the church, it was
completed in less than one year from
the time the corner stone was laid
and the dedicatory services were held
May 3, 1908. A large congregation
was present that day, and several
noted ministers of the Presbyterian
church we're present.
