1T seems to me-" said MT PAYNE,
speaking of the state situation that
the prospects brighten every ay for
Republican success. Since the anaic-
able settlement of the little family
dispute, all Republicans 1 have seen
seem to be rapidly forgetting the past
and every one seems now to be rally

state and national. Especially has
the selection of Mr.. GIasscoek to head
the state ticket tended to greatly
strengthen, reassure and unity the
party. Nothing now in my opinion
but political miracle viii prevent
the election OF our entire state ticket
so far as the colored vote IS con-
cerned the CHIEF thing necessary as .
see 1t is to see that all are regis
tered. So far as their voting and
supporting the Republican ticket are
concerned 1 think there Is no qiie
ton but what the vote will be very
nearly unanimous feel certa 81
that what our Democratic friends
thought would be great catch
among the mass OF white West Viz
ginia voters will not result in what
they seem to hope for. namely,
great disaffection in the Republics
party on account of the Jim Grow

The West Virginia white voters
are too big, too brOadzminded. and
have too much at heart a sense OF
fair dealing to be Influenced by such
efforts to Cypress as are conspicuous

Character, the
Real Secret.

That gifted child of song, idealist
and word painter extraordinary, Ella
Wheeler Wilcox, speaks volume OF
treasured truths in this beautiful es-
say on Character, the Secret of Hap
piness:"
Happiness comes from self-respect
and self-respect comes from the
knowledge that-we are living within
our means, that we owe no man
money we cannot pay, that we are able
to enjoy the changing seasons without
running in debt to keep up variety
of expensive homes at fashionable res
sorts, and that We are able to find
pleasure in walking when we cannot
ride, and in keeping at work when we
cannot take vacation.
Happiness lies in the conscious
ness of the privilege of life. Until you
realize apart from all material consid-
erations what a privilege life is, you
cannot be happy.
SAY over to yourself dozen of the
most familiar names OF extraVagantly
wealthy people in America and think
of the miserable scandals and wretched
domestic conditions which have been
associated with some member of
nearly everyone of these families.
"Tfen you viii be able to reason
out DOW little wealth has to do with

Happiness must rest on character,
and character building lies in the pow
