Dear Editor The meeting Of
the Benton County Farmers I'M
ion, which was held with the big
-Four" local on last Thursday night
and Friday was a success, to say
the least. In point of attendance
IL Of the 21 locals of the county
were represented.
The good people of that COM
munity were equal to the eoccasion,
and every delegate and visiting
brother and sister had the pleas
ure and the privilege Of being en-
tertained in model Benton County
homes, and as to the dinner on the
ground Friday, ask our president,
J. l.. Wright, who was one of the
many who feasted to their mot
hearts J stomachs' content.
The sessions of Thursday night
and Friday forenoon were secret.
The public was disappointed Fri
day when the speaker, Il. B. Carter,
failed to put in his appearance.
But the crowd was revived to some
extent by Dir. J. Fl. Harper, who
made a splendid address ia the
afternoon.
Very truly,
IRA PREssoN,

BRYAN UNSELFISH.

Mr.. Bryan's position in regard
to his own candidacy is ideally
Democratic aud personally manly
and honest, says the Nashville
Tennessean.
In a recent letter to Editor Con,
zales of the Columbia State, Mr..
Bryan directly States that the
question of his own availability as
a candidate is not for him to pass
upon, bat for the voters of the
party to decide.
"If the Democrats voters be-
lieve that | can assist the party by
being a candidate" said Mr. Bry-
an, "why should / refuse? And
why should | take the advice of q
few editors who have never been
friendly, rather than the advice of
millions of Americans who have
been co-laborers with nae for more
than q decadeY
Why, indeed!
That SO incontestabie a position
as this taken by Mr.. Bryan should
be subjected TO sneers and bitter
criticism shows clearly the perver-
sity aud insincerity of the opposi-
ton thus manifested.
Mr.. Bryan is unquestionably the
choice of the majority of Demo-
Gratis today. He knows it, Of
course, and feels that that fact al
most certainly assures his nomi-
nation Yet he does not urge his
candidacy, but places it on the
broad basis of the party's will, and
pledges himself to abide by that
decision
He pleads for instructed dele
gates, that the people may beright-
yand fully represented at Denver,
and the full party vote polled in
November.
No leadership was ever freer
from dictatorship or selfish appeal
than that of Mr.. Bryan today as it
looms upin the faith of the people
and the hope Of the party.

There is a great deal being said these
days about Mr.. Taft's religious belief,
and it is becoming question ofimpor-
tanee to the voters generally. 1t is a
fact that Mr.. Taft was raised in the
Unitarian faith and that he S and has
been for years member OF that de-
nomination. With that fact i'll View
there will doubtless be not a few of the
old line orthodox christian people baIk
at voting for HIM on the day of cleo
ton. There is no Unitarians in this
section and there is but little known
by our people generally of the doc
trine OF the church.
The friends of Mr.. Taft will doubt
less defend his religious belief by say
ing that he is christian and not
pagan and that his faith is orthodox
but we hardly think that the facts will
bear them out in that conteation.
AT the time of the reformation, or
following close thereafter, there were
numerous individuals springing up
throughout Europe preaching in most
cases octrines that could not in any
reasonable sense be justified by any
common sense Interpretation of the
Bible. Chief mongsthese quacks was
faustus Socinus, an Italian, who pro-
clsimed a doctrine which was at varI-
ence with all orthordox theology
and from this sect the Uniteriana
seem to have originated. In America
the Uniterians seem to have divided
into several sects on different shades
of doctrine but all, according to the
best authorities repudiate the very fur
damental doctrines of the orthodox
scheme, They deny the doctrine Of the
vicarious at0hemeht, of the Trinity,
the Deity of Christ, of original sin,
eternity of punishm emit for sin, and
the personality of the devil. Their doc
trine is one rather Of negatiJns than
positive declarations of belief They
give each man the right to put his
own iuterpre tation on the Bible, eX-
cepuons perhaps ON the doctrines
above mentioned. They say that the
Bible is not the word of God, but that
it contains the word. They believe
that while Christ was not divine that
he was divinely commissioned, but
that he had no existence prior to his
conception by the Virgin Mary, tina t
human sin is an imitation Of Adam S
sin and that human saliva ton depends
on the imitati on and adoption of
Christs virtues.

The republican party declares for
tariff revision by special session of
Con gress. They must realize that the
people want something done in that
direction, that the demand is urgent OF
they would never come down from
their high porch of protection, and
condescend even the made promise,
And yet. mark what we say, if they
do call session to revise the tariff the
tariff will be revised upward, in favor
Of the trusts, and the people may suck
their thumbs. 1t takes money to run a
trust will furnish them money for the
privilege Of running Congress.

The Republican National Commit
tee has a good start in the matter of
funds, if the statement that they had
more than 100000 over from the last
campaign OF the funds tskep from the
policy holders of the great life insur-
ance companies, of New York, betrue.
Well we do not know whether they
had any left over or not, but il is per-
fectly plain that they got the insur-
surance money and that it was never
returned Such a revelation would
have killed any other organization in
the world but the republican party. 1t
seems to be proofagainst official rotten
ness and public scandal, it lives and
s ems to flourish on such pabulum.
The party in less than fifty years old
and yet there has been no great official
scandals in the history of the country
excepting under its rule, and still it
thrives.

In the early days of the campaign

In the early days of the campaign
for the republican nomination
for governor Scherr pretended
to be on the water wagon, tlirt-
ing with Alvord, and really got Al
words confidence, but it was not long
until the Temperance people found that
Arnold was very thick with the booze
bund and that he had actually made
his headquarters in saloons at Monnds-
vile and at Huntington. Then the
Prohibs had to shift their affections
and now they don't know just where
they are cat.

Mr.. Roosevelt is very nice fello"
but he has very poor memory. Last
spring he was very intent on a law
providing for an income tax. 1t has

Gently CLAIMED TO have forestalled Mr..
Bryan in writing to Congressman and
Senators urging the passage of law
providing for the publicity of such
Contributions. MIR. Roosevelt dictated
the nomination and the platform and
yet these important reform PROPOSE
tions were not mentioned in the plat
form. OF course it was only slip of

The democracy annot afford to let
the republican party steal their posi-
ton on the tariff question. The dem
ocracy has stood for low tariff and
that laid for revenue without regard to
protection, for hundred years. 1t has
during that time stood for 'tequaI
rights and special privileges to none"
The republican policy of protection is,
special privileges to the rich and no
rlghtssfor the poor. In slavery days ii
used toIbe said that "the negro had no
rights which the white man was
bound to respect 1t was claimed that
the masters, the slave owners, would
save the slaves the trouble OF looking
out tor their living, and in these days
OF republican prosperity" we are ask
ed to only put our faith in the men
who run the trusts and that they will
take care Ct us. That is, let them have
all and then they will feed US from
their bounty.

MCINTYRE.

Miss Mary Eliza, the second daugh-
ter Of the late Mr.. B. s. Mcintyre,
passed pea cefully away on Wednes-
day evening last at the Kings Daugh-
ters' hospital, in this city, after a Sc
rious illness of two weeks.
The young lady had been in bad
health for some months and on last
Friday week, she was brought to
the hospital for an operation which it
was supposed would be of no very Sc
rlous nature but it was discovered by
Drs. McSherry and Stone, who per-
formed the operation that her condi-
ton was much more serious than was
thought and that her recovery was inn
possible. She however fingered with
much patience and christian fortitude
until death kindly came to her relief
and she calmly and sweetly fell to
sleep at the time mentioned.
From early life she was a devoted
member of the Presbyterian church at
kearneysville and was always engaged
in the service of her Lord.
She is survived by three sisters all of
whom were most lovingly bound to-
gether in the ties of affection.
The funeral will take place this
morning, Friday, from the home at
Kearneysville, Rev. DIR. Gheislin, OF
Shepkerdstown officiating and the in
terme will be in Edgewood ceme-
terry at Shepherdstewn
