DEEP IN POLITICS.

Our prohibition friends who now
have governor, and expect to have a
Speaker of the House to aid them, have
already, through the leaders of the
Anti-Saloon League, announced their
policy for Virginia. They are going to
wade deep into politics, and we may
look for much turmoil, much bad feel
ing, much fanaticism, and little bene-
fit to anybody save those who have
their hands in the pockets of the gull
lible contributors. These possibly
never did useful days work in their
lives, and never will, unless they cal
begging and agitation useful. They
are possibly like other things necessa
ry to vary the monoteny Of what other
wise might be dull and listless exis
tence. We hope so at least.

Big Gas Wells.

The largest gas well ever struck in
the fields of southern West Virginia,
was drilled In yesterday on the J. l..
Caldwell land at Brsnchland, when
the bit hit depth of 1900 feet aud
opened an enormous vein OF gas that
began flowing at the rate of il,o00, 900
feet day. II was only by the most
careful supervision of the work NJ the
critical point, that prevented the tools
being blown out OF the hole aud great
damage done. Tim we'll was drilled
in by d. O'Connell, who is generally
manager of the Continental OIL and
Gas Company, controlling 1000 acres
of valuable territory at Branchland,
some of which promises oil when de-
velopments have progressed some
what. The enormous gas produce
struck yesterday is the third we'll that
has been drilled in by this company
within the past few days. The first
one was million feet well, the second
good for four million foot production
and the last good for eleven million
feet.
No Huntington men are interested
in the production of this company save
J. L. Caldwell, who owns the land.
The others are from Lewispurg and
White sulphur Springs, from the lat
Ter place halls Mr.. O'Connell. In COM
pany with his associates he came into
the Branchland territory rather late
but managed to get into the very heart
of the most valuable part. His excel
lent Judgment was proven after opera
lions were begun. Just what DISPOSE
ton will be made of the enormous out
put of gas from this field, the company
does not know.
"We have not considered that seri
ously as yet" said Mr.. O'Connell, ''bu
will at some early date, perhaps. JUS
now we are busy developing what W
consider-one of the best tracts of ga
territory, possibly oil also, there is il
this end of the state. A funny thin
about it is that the wells we get ar
constantly growing better. Our frs
operations have proved successful be
yond our dreams and we have reason
to believe we have something worth
l lot of money. The stockholders in tn
company are highly elated at the pros
poets opening up before US.

CONGRESS IN SESSION.

Congress is in session. There is like
ly to be some excitement, and possibly
some acrimony. The Republican lead
ers are mad. They are mad at their
own people. These, in part, have re-
belled, these have refused to do just as
they are bid, and Mr.. Cannon has pro-
claimed that they should be read out
of the party. But that will be big
task. They are not intimidated by
such threats, and have come back
seemingly more determined than'ever.
The session begins with small war on
the hands of the nation. Sometimes
these little things grow bigger than we
expect Often boys monkey with a
hornets nest which does not look for
midable, but before they get through
some eyes are bunged up and some
bad.stings are to nurse This may be
the case with us in this Nicarauguan
imbrogIio. Wars big or little areIcost-
ly and we may expect some money to
be souandered. 1t will also afford an
opportunity for our army and navy tc
put in their claims for increased num-
beers in men and ships.
The Sugar Trust, that tariff protect
ed pet, is also on Mr.. Taft's hands. II
gave some money to the campaign
fund. Can it be severely dealt with
We far not. Already he has asked
Cor ress not to investigate, lest il
hamper the legal department. We
hope this request is made in good faith
business was looking up Congress
tends to hamper it. There is an ele-
ment of uncertainty when it is in ses-
sion. and money for some reason seems

parochial affairs than national affairs,
a Congress composed of hundreds OF
men who by the time they learn their
business as national Legislators have
lost their places and rather have their
places filed by men as green and UNI
tried as they themselves were when
first sent to Washington. In other
words, the legislative management OF
the United States is not in the hands
of senators but of freshmen who are re-
sponsible not so much to the nation as
to the provincial home from which
they come.
