for the boy and then cheers for the
father.
Stripping OFF the boys cap and
the smoked glasses, Whitla revealed
his boys bare head for the first time.
He lifted the lad high above his head
SO that everyone might get a good
view Of the new famous y%oungstcr.
who came near to rivallins the lost

soon as he could pssh his way through
the crowd Whitla. ST. went to his
room on the second floor. IL car
ried the boy in his arms Fo several
minutes he was alone IN the room
with his son. Then through the door
came these words spoken by the
father TO the boys mother on the
long distance telephone:
"Oh mother. | have Willie here in
my arms. lie is safe. Glory to God.
II Is the happicst night of my life
There was a pause, the mother was
pleading for her husband to return
the boy To his nome al once.

CONDEMN THE PISTOL LAW.

According to n local hardware man
the law relating to the sale Of pistols
recently passed by the West Virginia
Legislature will do considerable harm
and do hut little good. 1t will have n
tendency. he declared, to destroy the
hardware trade In reyolrers In this
State and for the same reason will
give all the revolver trade 10 the mail
order houses. who are. Of course. the
strongest competitors Of the hardware
men.
A bond Of $500 Is required Of any
dealer who sells guns and he Is in adj
dition compelled TO take out license
at the cost OF ten dollars year. The
harlw men in this recent conven-
ton Mt Charleston bitterly denounced
the law. It is declared that 1t will do
hut little towards breaking up the
practice of carrying revovers. What
the dealers will do With their stock Of
goods now on hand Is not known.

Editor West Virgnian:
The valentine season has come and
gone again, thank goodness. and we
feel In the nlool to work of our little
saw about It. The Montana correspond
ent has given us the reputation OF
butting in where We have no business
and we might as well live up to the
reputation.
We usually call the valentine season

It covers a period OF at least two
weeks, during which tons of so.called
valentines are sent through the malls.

doing It. It Is 4 favorlte method, |

Democratic paper pleased.

The state senate. or the members OF
that body at least who voted against
submission Of the prohibition amend
ment, have taken a very sensible and
practical view Of the question. They
no doubt realized that submission
would have meant prohibition; that
their Affirmative votes on the PROPOSE
tlon would have resulted eventually In
an infringement Of personal liberties.

trary 10 the principle Of local self'gov-
eminent, inasmucn as the people In
"dry" territory who do not come into
contact with the saloon. would almost
certainly cast the votes which would
drive It out Of communities that are
satisfied 10 let It remain.
The liquor interests will be pleased
as a matter of course, and they have
especial reason to feel gratiflel over
their victory after campaign In
which the successful party wrote a
submission pledge into Its state plat.
form. But they should not lose sight
Of the fact that they are themselves TO
blame for the prohibition agitation.
and that the people Of West Virginia
look to them to keep their pledges ami
promises with regard to Improving the
character Of the saloon. They have
the opportunity during the next two
years 10 prove their sincerity. If they
place the liquor traffic on higher
plane, most Of the present hostility
will vanish. So long as the saloon Is
conducted as Il reputable and law.re
specting business enterprise. the Reg
lister believes the liquor interests Will
have nothing to fear from prohibition
agitation In the state. There has al
rea,,y been a substantial betterment IN
the West Virginia saloon. but there IS
room for further Improvement. The
fate OF the saloon Is In the hands oil
the saloon keepers themselves. =
