DO It For Your Home Town,

The following is taken from the
Irontonian and will apply we'll to
readers of the Weekly Register:
"Plug along" your home town
all the time.
In every community there are
those who think solely and all the
time of their own interest. They
are unwilling to sacrifice anything
for the good of their town. If it
is matter of improvement, they
frat figure out how the change
will affect them and their pocket
book. The public in general is a
secondary consideration, or. oft.
ener, no consideration at all.
Cities progress or remain sta.
tionary in proportion to the influ.
enoe of this GLASS of people. In
those communities where narrow.
minded selfishness prevails the
evidence of stagnation are plain.
They are in rut that eventually
Ieads to quioksand bog in which
the oity gradually sinks, In those
where the citizens are filled with a
desire for the prosperity of the
town as a whole. the signs of pro.
gross are apparent on every hand.
Do it for the sake of your home
oity, the oity that gives you liv
ing and whose welfare is your vel.
fare.
Do it in the Same spirit that
your forefathers did for the nation
at large when it needed them. Do
it because you are broadminded
enough to take your eyes from
your personal ledger and take IN
wider outlook.
Tho man who does things for
others generally finds that some.

The Governorship.

The present demoralized condi-
ton of the Republican party in
West Virginia and the almost Ger.
tainty of democratic victory in the
state this year, render the question
of naming the stete ticket one of
supreme importance. If the Dem.
oorats act in harmony and name a
ticket which will command the re-
spect aud confidence of the people
of.the state, there seems, under
present conditions, to be but little
doubt that West Virginia will
swing back into The democratic
column.
In considering this question it is
conceded that the most important
obligation resting upon the Demo
orats of the state refers to naming
a candidate for governor. With a
proper man, combining all the
elements essential to an acceptable
candidate with those requisitee
which characterize the oonsoien.
tious and able public official. at
the head of the Democratic ticket,
there is little doubt that victory
would ensue. In this connection
it is reaasuring to note that there
is available an abundance OF ma.
terial. Numerous worthy Demo
orsts have expressed Willingness
to become the standard bearer of
the party in the approaching cam-
paign. With due respect to the
excellent qualifications of the 9th.
era, it would eeem that Hon. Louie
Bennett, of Weston, stands out as
being prominently qualified, not
only with reference to ability, but
as man who would lend exoep.
tional strength to the state ticket.
He is a man of varied ,interests.
Being himself largely interested in
agriculture, his candidacy would
naturally appeal to the farmers of
the state with strength which
would count for much in the No
vember election. Being business
man of ability and one whose in.
vestments cover wide range of
activities, his candidacy would
naturally appeal to the business
interests of the state and he would
Garry not only the strength of the
business men of his own party, but
would, at the same time, enlist 3
considerable following from the
great conservative and independ-
ent business element.
Finally, and which is more i'm
portant than anything else from Z
purely political standpoint, Mr..
Benefits nomination would tend
to thoroughly harmonize the party
He is not and has never been allied
with any faction. At the same
time he has ever been an active
and faithful party worker and his
political record challenges oom.
parison with that of the best. Mr.,
Bennett should be nominated be.
cause, if nominated. he would be
eleoted;. and if elected he would
make an ideal executive official.
In this the Democrats of Mason
county have an opportunity to ex-
eroiae discretion to promote the
good of the Democratic party in
the state.

incurable For a great many years
doctors pronounced it a local dis
ease and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly falling to cure
with local treatment, pronounced 1t
incurable. Science has proven ca
tarrh to be a constitutional disease,
and therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
