ATTITUDE of the Farmers.

One of the infallible indices to po-
litical condft ons is supplied by the
attitude and opinions of the farmers.
If a politician wants to know how a
state in which the farmer vote IS a
factor is going, he has to get back to
the soil. Especial care has been TAX
en- to sound sentiment among the
farmers In half dozen states, in
GLIDING New York, Wisconsin, Min
nesota and North Dakota The
farmers are prosperous and content
ed. They are keenly alive to the i'm
portance of the trust and railroad
regulating activities of Mr.. Roose-
welt and what it means to the tillers
of the land. They approve of them,
and they know that Mr.. Taft can be
depended upon to lend his influence
wisely and conservatively, but enec-
lively, to the same end.
There is no use trying to make a
farmer believe that the country Is
going to the dogs and a change of
administration is needed, when he
has money in the bank, no mortgage
on his place and possibly a few
hundred out on interest" said man
today who has Travelled much of late
through the Middle West. They
aren't responding to Mr.. Bryan's
pleas, and they don't sympathize with
his ideas. They are sure that they
owe their prosperity to Mckinley,
Roosevelt and the Republican party,
and they are satisfied to let things
run on as they are. Why, heard of
one farming section not far from
Chicago where among 5000 persons
there were forty-two automobiles
owned. What reason have these
folks for taking chance politically
by voting for Bryan, the untried
theorist, against Taft?"

BOO REWARD. 800.

The re4usrs or this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all It's stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure Is
the only positive cure now known to the
medICal fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a con8G-
tutional treatment Halls Catarrh Cure
Is taken internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surfaces OF the
system, thereby destroying the founda-
ton OF the disease, and giving the pa
tient strength by building up tho conStt-

Democrots Arc Afraid.

Republicans are not the only ones
who fear the disastrous consequences
that will result If the country, by
some III stroke or chance should go
Democratic at the presidential cleo
ton in November. Democrats even
admit it. A Democrat or SO might
say that he believes differently, but
the Telegram has just obtained evil
dence that there is Democratic recog-
milton of this cold blooded possibility
that confron4s the American people
today, and it is an instance in which
candidate on the Democratic coun-
ty ticket figures.
A day .or so ago, this Democratic
candidate, who is farmer, purchas-
ed two young colts from another
farmer whose firm and loyal adher-
ence to the doctrines OF Republican
ism is we'll known. A good but rea-
sonable sum was paid for the colts
and the deal was apparently satisfac-
tory to both. AS the deal was being
closed the Republican farmer asked
the Democratic farmer II the latter
had enough faith in the outcome of
a Democratic victory to take back the
two colts at the same price paid for
them If Bryan were elected President
of the United States. mo, sir" de-
clared the Democratic farmer. The

Glasscoclz and Tax Reform.

In its editorial comemnt approving
the utterances of the Hon. William
e. Glasscock, nominee for governor
of the state, on the tax laws of West
Virginia, the Wheeling Intelligencer
praises the work along that line and
expresses its confidence in Mr.. Glass
cock in the following unqualified
manner and urges the people of the
state not to desert those laws:
If VIM. E. Glasscock is elected gov
ernor, the work which has been so
well begun under VIM. M. o. Dawson
VIII be carried to its full fruitlon. II
Louis Bennett, himself notorious
tax dodger, is elected governor. as
much OF this work as possible will be
undone. Louis Bennett Is one of the
largest Individual owners in the state

e ~
sedly made ano ther proposition. that
the seller OF the colts take them back
at the same Price paid for them at
the expiration OF year, providing
Bryan were elected President. the
purchaser to keep and care for the
animals during that time. But the
Democratic farmer had little faith in
the Likelihood of a. Democratic admin
istration keeping business conditions
in a good shape and he again answer
ed with an emphatic refusal. The
sale OF the colts did not hinge upon
the outcome of the election, however,
and the deal was closed and the Re
publican farmer took the colts along
with him.
This, now. is a good example of the
misgivings that sensible. discerning
citizens feel over the consequences of
a Democratic victory in the nation,
for It is right at home 1t is based
upon practical conditions rather than
high winded theories and both men
concerned are good, substantial citi-
cent who are supposed to know what
they are talking about.
II the Democrats themselves fear
the results OF a Bryan election, If
they have qualms about the general
prosperity of the country, If they
really feel. down deep in their hearts
and are able to adjudge from their
actual knowledge of things that there
would be widespread business de-
preston and decentralization, why
should any of these conscientious
citizens who voted for President
Roosevelt have any doubts concern
ing the question they are to decide
at the polls the third day of next
month?

Clarksburg has a number of extra

not like the Clarksburg of oldeE
days, the city is able to care for all

commodations. Even with all Of
these visitors more could be well TAX
en- care of. This is cause of just
pride on the part of Clarksburgers
and of qualification on~the part of
our visitors and constitutes, also, one
of the reasons why Clarksburg has
gained the reputation of being one of
the best and busiest little cities In
the country.

OF the very kinds of propeEty that

Virginia on the record of Republican
administration and on his promise to

You can-not-tell by the utterances of
the Democratic candidate for COVER

for the tax system of the State. You

system. Better it will be for all con-

A Ravenswood citizen says the
State needs as governor man who
will be interested in the success of
the effort being made by the Repub-

why William e. G1asscock should be
elected to the governorship. He says
and reiterates that he is heartily In
favor of the tax reform measures and
he stands upon platform that advo-
Gates a continuation of just and
reasonable and equitable system of
taxation.

De Soto people are petitioning

cent fare law. De Soto is afraid of
losing the shops and it is said this
action is taken in an effort to curry
favor with the railroad company.

comes out; and if the scheme
works, then wen get up a petition,
too. Maybe we can get the rail-

But the temptation will be sore if
Providence does not invent another
way of coaxing from him a further
supply of those unique editorials
of his which have kept the Mirror
up to normal during his vacation
in a hospital bed. They r every
thing that the most readable edi-
torial ought to be. All too seldom
are versatility and brilliancy so
delightful as Reedy's drawn so
steadily into the service of high
purpose as are these enviable tai
ents of his; and seldom has he
himself equaled, in wholesome
substance and captivating form,
his charming editorials from a bed
of pain in an environment of SUI
fering and service" MI. Reedy's
misfortune-a broken leg-befell
him a few days after his return
from a recent visit to Arcadia Val
ley. His "Bungalow Town. was
