A FEW days ago party of twenty
three Republican Congressman, including
several from West Virginia, waited on
President Taft and urged him not to con-
tend for reduction in the tariff on raw
materials, including coal, iron, lumber,
etc. The President sort O. laughed at
them, and they failed to make any i'm
preston on him.
He saw through their SelfiShness.
We want to say that the people ofWest
Virginia do not favor such an infamous
measure as the Aldrich bill The hand
full of wealthy coal operators and owners
of our lumber tracts, the Standard Oil
people, the ever-obsequious office-hold-
ers and office-seekers, and few rampant
partisans are backing up the Senators
and Congressman, but when il comes to
the real body of the people, the con-
sumers and fair-minded persons in gen.
eral, they do not endorse Elkins and
Scott and the members of the lower
house. II must be admitted, though, that
between fear and disgust there is not
much being said on the subject.

Twenty-Five years ago William Frazier
Of Spenyville, Rappahannock county.
Va, sustained what he regarded as an in
significant wound to one his eyes while
burning brush on his farm. Little atten-
ton was paid to the matter until about
Is years ago, when the wound began to
cause him considerable pain, which, he
says, has grown more intense every day.
He refused TO consult On oculist, saying if
there was anything in his eye it would
come out when it got ready. On Thurs
day splinter more than half an inch In
length worked its way from under the
eyeball.

In Memoriam.

In sad but loving remembrance OF our
dear baby, Charles Flanagan Hopper,
who departed this life July 3, 1909, age 3
years and day.
We have lost our darling baby,
lie has bid US all adeu,
He has gone 10 live in heaven,
And his form is lost 10 view. .
Oh, that dear one, hoy we loved him.
Oh. how hard TO give him up,
But an angel came down from heaven
And removed him from our home.
The little crib is empty now.
The little clothes laid by.
mothers hope fathers JOY.
In deaths cold arms doth lie.
Go. little pilgrims. TO thy home
On yonder blissful shore
We miss thee here but soon will come
Where thou hast gone before.
Dear little hands we miss them So
All through the day wherever we go
All through the night, how lonely il seems,
For no little hands wake US out Of our dreams.
We miss them all through the weary hours.
We miss them as others do sunshine and flow
ers.
Day time or night time wherever. we 90,
Dear little hands. We miss them so.
We had little treasure once.
He was our JOY and pride.
We loved him. ali. perhaps too well.
For soon he slept and died.
All is dark within our dwelling.
Lonely are our hearts today.
For the one we loved so dearly.
Has forever passed away.
Those little lips so sweet 10 kiss.
Are closed forever now.
Those sparkling eyes that shone so bright
Beneath that peariy brow,
That little heart that beat so high.
Free from all care and gloom.
Are hidden now from those he loved.
Beneath the silen, tomb.
Darling Charles, he has left US.
Left US yes. for evemOre
But We hope TO meet our loved one
On that bright and Apply shore.

The petition Of the temperance adyo-
Gates, setting forth the ground upon
which the local-option election in Bristol,
Va, is to be contested, was filed by the
clerk OF the corporation court last Satur-
day, and copy of it was also filed in the
circuit court at Abingdon. The petition,
which is lengthy because ofthe numerous
names il contains, sets forth but two
grounds upon which the contest is to BE-
made. The first is that many persons
whose capitation tax had been paid by
others, and not by themselves, as re-
quired by law, voted, and the second is
that nonresidents, including many Tennes-
seeans, were allowed to vote. The pc
tition cites the names of all persons al
legged to vote illegally, making separate
list under each of the two grounds. This
list shows 10 alleged illegal voters, and
in this connection it is averred that had
only qualified voters been allowed to vote,
the "wets" would have received 263
votes and not 433, as was counted to
their credit. Many prominent whiskey
men have been in Bristol in conference
with attorneys, looking toward strenuous
opposition to the contestants petition.

A statement was made public few days
ago by President Taft in which he clearly
and Enthusiastically made known his att-
tude on the tariff question. He declared
that he was in favor of revising the tariff
downward, and is opposed to maintain
ing a high protective rate on raw mater
ialS such as coal, iron ore, hides, lumber,
oil, etc. There is an intimation that un-
less there are great changes in the tariff
bill as it passed the Senate the President
will veto the measure. The President
has reminded the party leaders that the
Republicans promised last year to reform
the tariff, and he is not willing to 60 back
on these promises, much less place ad-
ditional burdens upon the people.
He is right, of course, but will he pre-
vail?

SeaSonabIe Snake Stories,

After finding his COW had already been
MIXED every morning when he went to
the pasture, John BaSsett, near George
town, Del, discovered the thief to be a
large blacksnake which had grown fond
of new milk for its breakfast. BlsSett
arose earlier than usual and hid in the
pasture. Shortly after, he was astoniShed
to hear the old cow begin lowing, while
at the signal big black snake crawled
up to the COW and began to drain the
milk. The old cow seemed to be as fond
of the snake as OF a calf, and was with
difficulty restrained from following the
reptile when itescaped through the grass.
When Vim. Muse, grandson of D. c.
Fry, of Frederick county, Md, was told
to give the older folks good night and go
to bed alone several nights ago, he COM
planned that lhis slumbers were interrupt
ed by a blowing noise" An inveStiga-
ton was made and large black snake
was found in corner IN the upper hall
way. How the reptile found its way in
the house and upstairs in mystery. 1t
was killed
The biggest snake ever seen in the vi
cinity of Williamsport, Pa, outside OF a
cage, was cut into three pieces by train
at Utceter 1t vas of the black species.
The pieces were placed end TO end and
the snake measured Ia feet inches. A
few days ago trackmen saw the reptile
going through hay field, its head raised
two feet above the grass.

IN recent interview Senator Scott ex-
pressed his disapproval of the proposition
to put tax on the earnings of corpora
tons, and spoke touchingly of the poor
widows who hold stock in these enter
priSes.
This is enough to make horse laugh.
How many widows are there who have
stock in the greedy combinations that are
grinding the life out of The consumers?

1T is just a question of time when the
infamous protective tariff system will fall.
In order that il may be bolStered up, it is
becoming overloaded by continuous ad-

top-heavy and fall.

THE whole protectective tariff bill is a
plain, unvarnished scheme of robbery.
and il ought TO be stopped. The big
thieves and the little thieves ought TO be
deprived OF their tools for stealing, and
he way TO do it is to abolish the system
of protection.

OUR Senator Scott is paving up the
earth because West Virginia is not receiv-
ing, in his opinion, its just share OF pro-
lection in the new tariff bill. Where
Senator Scott makes his mistake is in TAX
ing it for granted that the people Of this
State want to see its coal operators still
further increase their fabulous fortunes,
our lumber dealers to put up prices still
higher, the poor old Standard Oil Com
pany to get another strangle hold, and
last, but not least, glass manufacturers to
collect still greater profits. This is not
true. II is probably fact that these
greedy monopolists are still unSatisfied,
but there are million or two OF conSum-
ers in West Virginia who ought to be
considered. Senator Scott has never
lifted up his voice in their behalf, nor
does he have any regard for them.
We haven't much regard for his pa
triotism. 1t doesn't rise above the dollar
mark.

THE tariff bill has been in conference
the past week, and joint committee OF
the Senate and House is going through
the pretence of making it satisfactory to
both branches OF Congress. The con-
ference committee, which was packed by
Speaker Cannon and Senator Aldrich for
the purpose of forcing through their OBJ
noxious and dishonest schemes, is making
no real effort to turn out fair bill, and de-
cent men are thoroughly disguised with
the situation. Indeed, so rotten is the
action of the committee that Congressman
Payne, the author of the bill in the House,
has had personal quarrelS with Senator
Aldrich and the other tools Of the trust,
who are using disreputable tricks to carry
their points. There is very serious
disagreement amongt the Republicans, and
no one can tell what the outcome will be.

BOHEMIAN GLASS BLOWERS

A feature with the coming carnival. Probably one of the most instructive and interesting shows is that given by Prof. J. B. LOrOw, his wife and six glass blowers. They have large tent at the carnival and give one of the best exhibitions of this class in the country today.
 Prof Lorow s mother was one of the girls of Venice, imported from the mar velous workers of that Italian city to exhibit at the Philadelphia centennial in 1876 and her son has followed tho business since he was a little chap.
 The spinning of glass and weaving into neckties, belts and other novelties the making of curios and operation of steam engine made entirely of glass These are some of the wonders to be seen.
 MT. Peyser, the carnival agent, asks the Silver Belt to suggest to the superin- tendent of the city schools, that Inc bring the manual training classes in the high school to see the work done, free some morning, and promises also to pre-, sent the pupils and the high school with any little apparatus for the chemical laboratory that is desired.

ELLEN BEACH YAW

Reginald De Koven, in the New York World, March 22, l90S.-Nearly an octave, six whole tones, above Ter. trazzini Think of it, ye who have ae, claimed the famous high E-Flat, as phe. nOmerCl and wonder.working And yet this is actually the marvellous com. pass in the high register up to double high C of Ellen Beach Yaw, who made her New York grand opera debut in Donizetti s "Lucia" at the eMtropoli. tan last night, and with no small sue, cess.
 Aside from the phenomenal part of the voice, Miss Yaw has high, flexible soprano, clear, sweet and even in the upper register. Her phrasing is intel. hgent and her general style shows both cultivation and artistic sincerity.
 She sang "QuandO Rapito' in ex- cellent style and finished it with an ex, traOrdinary note-a real note-not a squeak, not merely touched, but held G in altissimo, major third above the Tetrazzini note.
 Miss Yaw used the flute cadenza and was obliged to repeat it. She took the high E-Flat twice, and was recalled several times, being greeted with great enthusiasm.
 These wonderful tones Miss YaW certainly possesses to make an audience gape with open-mouthed astonishment as they did last night.
 Miss Yaw can be credited with q very distinct success.

For that Dull Feeling After Eating

I have used Chamberlain s Stomach and Liver Tablets for some time, and can testify that they have done me more good than any tablets have ever used. My trouble was a heavy dull feeling after eating.-David Freeman, Kenpt, Nova Scotia. These tablets strengthen the stomach and improve digestion. They also regulate the liver and bowels. They are far superior to pills, but cost no more. Get free sample at all drug stores and see what a splendid sample it is.
