Not Good Taste.

The Oil Review thinks it is not
good taste to have inserted in a
newspaper a card of thanks after
one has lost relative by death.
Following is what the Sistersville
paper says on the subject:
"For some reason just why,
would be hard TO explain, it has
been the custom for a long time of
people to print In the home news
papers Cards Of Thanks in which
they name those who have been
kind to them either in sickness,
death or other afiliction. Why
this practice should prevail is be-
y3a1 our comprehension, Is it not
the bounden duty of those who
have health and wealth TO assist
those who are in distress? are
those who do so doing any more
than those which are given by
word or mouth? Why should
those who have been benefited or
comforted parade the fact before
the pablic?"

Wrong Once.


The CEREDo ADVANCE is a paper
which Is nearly always right, but
here is once where it is wrong:
Here's another paper tina, is
heartily IN favor of a senator for
each county. The senators of this
district at the last session of our
Legislature voted against the wishes
oil majority of their party of this
county when they cast their votes
against primary election law and
the bill allowing the voters of the
state chance TO say, by their bal
lots, whether or not intoxicants
shall be sold in the state. Yes.
let each county have a state sena.
tor"
1T the district had had another
vote or two TO cast against proper
measures.w would that have made any
difference? The argument of the
ADVANCE does not apply to TIE
question. The way TO have sena
tors who do right, be they few or
many, 10 to elect men of princip!e
to the position.
One OF the fundamental ideas of
government in this country. is to
elect one branch of a legislative
body on an entirely different idea
from the other. Ii there is to be
no practical difference in the co.
ordinate branches of the lees,a
ture, better have just one and be
done with it.-Parkersburg State
Journal.
The ADVANCE certainly appre-
ciltes the statement from its able
contemporary that i. is nearly al
ways right, but it cannot ackuow-
ledge that it Is wrong even THE
time.
We feel satisfied that if the last
legislature had been composed of
one senator for each county that
many good laws would have been
enacted that were defeated by the
senate, among which were the sub
mission of the prohibition ameud-
ment, a general primary election
law, a law taxing natural gas, etc.
1t would not have made any differ
ence if this district ALONE ba1
had another vote o. two to cast in
favor of the measures named, but
If each county had been represent
ed by senator the laws mos, IS.
suredly would have passed; so we
claim the arguments of the ADVANCE
DO apply to the question at issue.
We know if men of principle
were always elected the people
could almost always get the right
kind of legislation, but isn't i;
pretty difficult task, in these DAYS
of convention corruption, to have
men of principle nominated at ali
times TO public office?
We understand the ideas OF the
two branches OF legislative body,
but the trouble is when Que repre-
senls several counties he is likely to
forget and neglect the interests OF
all the counties save the one in
which ne lives. 1t really would be
better in our opinion to have but
one branch of the legislature.
when the interests of counties al
joining each other differ so widely
as they do in many cases in this
state-if we cannot have senator
for each county,
