WHAT THE POLITICAL PARTIES
STAND FOR.

lued OF copying, as nearly as posi-
BILE, the English system. The key
to the mystery of Republican success
is the alliance between the White
House, Wall Street and the Pope.
The aged Italian priest who is the
present Papa Of the 100000 Cath
olics of the United States, publicly
assured his children last year that
he approved of Mr.. Taft, and Papa's
devoted flock went to Taft on cleo
ton day.
AS to the Presidents cabinet, that
is VIGOROUSLY a Wall Street selec-
ton.
(2) The Democratic Party:
Is the "extra-horse" of the special
ly favored Interests. Whenever the
Republicans are not quite able to
deliver the goods (promised when
the corporations filled the dough-
bag), the Democratic Party lends a
sufficiency of votes to turn the trick.
For proofs,-see record of the ex-
ira session which renewed the power
Of Speaker Cannon, and made a tariff
bill under trust dictation. Also
record on every important issue since
the Civil War.
CD The Prohibition Party:
It's distinctive purpose is the pre-
ventation Of the manufacture, i'm
portation and sale of alcoholic bev-
erages.
(4) The Socialist Party:
The American leaders of this move
ment preach one doctrine in cities
like Chicago and New York, and a
different doctrine when talking to
country people in Kansas, Oklahoma,
Missouri, Texas and Florida
AS I will prove in a series of chap
ters in Watson's Magazine, Socialism
proposes to abolish entirely the pri-
vate ownership of land and other
means of production. Arguing that
our one-wife marriage system was es-
tablished to perpetuate capitalism,
these fanatics propose that people
shall marry without any sort of civil
or religious ceremony, and that a
husband and wife shall have the lib
erty to abandon one another, and
take up with a fresh wife or a
fresh husband, whenever either are
dissatisfied. This is Free Love, and
Socialism stands for it, as 1 will
prove by Socialist evidence.
go The Peoples Party (Populist):
Stands for the public ownership of
all public utilities,-such as rail-
roads, telegraphs, telephones, express
companies, municipal water light
and street car systems. Populism
holds the marriage tie sacred, and
denies the right of the husband to
discard the wife when she has per-
haps shaved away her physical at
Effectiveness in his service. In other
words, we contend that our divorce
laws are quite liberal laws enough,
and that the $4,000 annual divorces
of this country prove that "love'' is
as free as need be. To attempt the
selfish lusts of men holding out to
them the pernicious doctrine of Free
Love, endangers that beautiful prin-

Exterior Brick Work Finished and
Roofers Busy.

From The World Of Saturday:
The bricklayers finished the exter-
Tor work on the court house last
evening. The roof construction is
nearly done and the timers are busy
with the part already done.
The remodeling Of the old court
house has progressed marvelously fast
this winter even though the weather
has been favorable. The first lick
was struck on the job on the Sth OF
last October and the brick work
finished -four months later. At this
rate it went take so very long to
complete the building inside and out
side. and then Berkeley county will
have a court house that she need not
be ashamed OF as has been the case
heretofore.

Huildine-Wili Probably Select an
Architect at Meeting Monday Night
as . Preliminary see.

-
From The World OF Saturday:
School commissioners H. l.. Alexan-
der, ]. w. Barrick and Harry Kuhn
and Superintendent Geo. w. Brindle
spent yesterday in waynesboro and
Hagerstown for the purpose of in
speeding school buildings with a view
of obtaining some information with
regard to their design, plan. cost.
equipment, etc. that would be of bene-
fit to the board of education Of Mar
tinsburg before commencing on the
third ward school building. In this
respect the trip was very profitable,
while the expense was a mere baga-
telle. Commissioners j. w. Whetzel
and t. r. Kline were unable to so
along.
In Waynesboro the visitors inspect
Ell the Clayton avenue and Snyder
avenue buildings under the guidance
o. Superintendent j. II. Reber. They
also met Architect j. w. Wolff who
designed both buildings. They OBJ
tanned much valuable information
from both gentlemen.
The visitors spent the afternoon in
Hagerstown where they inspected the
Surrey school bull ling, being shown
through by one OF the school officials,
They returned home in the evening
much pleased with their trip and, as
stated, obtained the information desir-
ed.
The board of education will hold a
special meeting Monday night when
the results OF the trip mentioned will
be discussed, together with other mat
tiers pertaining to the proposed new
school building. Architect Wolff, OF
Waynesboro, has been invited to sub
NIT designs ana plans for the third
ward school house and it is altogether
probable that other architects will
submit plans at the same time.
1t is intimated that an architect
may be selected at the meeting Mon
day night, and If so, the first pre-
liminary step will have been taken,
presaging that every thing will be
ready for the contractor to begin
work as SOC as school closes

A Question of Law.
The matter of the present boundary
lines of the Martinsburg school dis
trict. so far as they are affected by
the corporate limits of the new city
charter, was referred to Nj. A. c.
Nadenbousch, attorney of the board
OF education. 1t seems that by the
Act of 1872 the school district en-
braces the same territory or is bound
ed by the same lines as the city IT,
sch. and that the new charter does
not extend the boundary lines of the
school district, but that they remain
the same as before the adoption OF
the charter. To enlarge the school
district so as to conform to the corpor-
ate limits under the new charter,
therefore would require a special Act
of the legislature, it is said on good
authority. This however. will not
likely be done at the present session.

Enemies of Tomato Plants.

Young tomato plants have one en-
envy that If left to do its work un-
checked will soon sap all the vitality
from the plant. This is a tiny black
beetle often wrongly called a fly. 1t
does not trouble the plants while they
are in the house, but as soon as set
out of doors, even while they are in
boxes before being tr%ansplanted to
the open ground, the beetles appear
in great numbers, and in a few days
will work great havoc. Bug death liz
a simple but sure remedy. II should
be sprinkled literally upon the leaves.
The plants should be carefully
watched, for sometimes a second or
third application may be necessary.
The potato beetle is another enemy
that will probably appear If the to.
matces are set near a potato field.
Fol- that reason care should be taken
in selecting a location for them.
