NOT A REVENUE PRODUCER.

The Charleston Mail, in comment
ing upon the number of convictions
being found under the johnson pistol
law, and the severity of the penalties
inflicted, commends its revenue pro-
ducing qualities. While the johnson
law is laudable in all its provisions,
and while its salutary effects are al
ready noticeable, it must be queer
kind of mathematics that will prove
tia revenue producer. The usual SEN
tence is a fine of fifty dollars and six
months in prison. Not one prisoner
out of ten is able to pay the fine as
sessed, and every man convicted
spends at least six months in Jail at
the public expense. Ifevery fine as
sessed were promptly paid, the state
would still be loser, when thee cost of
keeping prisoners in Jail is set against
the revenue derived from fines. Cabell
county authorities have sent six pris-
oners to Jail, each sentenced to serve
a term of SIX months. Each ofthese
men was fined fifty dollars. Not one
of them has paid dollar, and not one
of them has property out ofwhich the
authorities can make the fine. 1t twill
cost at least $3.50 to maintain these
prisoners in Jail, and not one cent /

THE HAS BEEN.

When Theodore, the has been,
shall read in Africa the language in
which Judge Anderson refused to
deliver over to Illegal persecution the
persons accused of libel in the Panama
case he will indulge in comments
which, if literally reproduced in an
American periodical, would be worth
vastly more than dollar word.
The whole proceeding as instituted
by specific order of Mr. Roosevelt
was bold attempt to surround the
servants of the people of the United
States, particularly the President,
with that divinity which doth hedge
about king; and the proposition to
hale the alleged offenders before a
distant tribunal under flmy fiction
was in absolute defiance of the guar
antees thrown around every citizen
by the Bill of Rights. The Federal
court in Indiana laid down some very
essential truths in very plain man
ner, and just so far as their utterance
tends to resume the country that
their judiciary still stands as bull
wark against infringements on Con-
stitutional liberty in, exactly the

DEATH RECALLS
MORRIS EPISODE
POSTMASTER BARNES OF WASHINGTON
STRICKEN AT TABLE.

Washington, Oct. sI.-Death
camesuddenly to Benjamin F. Barnes,
postmaster of Washington, soon after
dining at the home of his father-in-
law, Jacob French.
1t was while he was assistant pri-
vate secretary to President Roosevelt
that Mr.. Barnes came into consider
able prominence in connection with
the White House incident involving
the arrest of Mrs. Minor Morris, a
member of a promineu. iowa family,
who had resided in Washington for
many years. Mrs. Morris had insist
ed on seeing President Roosevelt,
and when told by Mr.. Barnes that
she would first be obliged to tell her
business to him, Mrs. Morris declared
that she intended to remain at the
executive Offices until she obtained a
personal interview with Mr.. Roose-
welt. In controversy which grew
out of her arrest it was alleged that
Mr.. Barnes gave the order that she
be taken into custody. When police
men attempted to remove Mrs. Morris
there was struggle, and the scream
ing woman was half-carried and half
dragged from the executive Office
building at the west side of the
White House to the treasury depart
ment entrance at the east side, a dis
"a ice of more than city block.
Much newspaper space was given
to the incident and there was con
siderable. criticism of the methods
employed in taking Mrs. Morris from
the executive Offices. Mrs. Morris
was released without trial. Suisse
quently, when Mr.. Barnes was nomi-
mated for the Office of postmaster at
Washington, the confirmation of the
nomination was fought bitterly in the
senate on the ground that he had
been responsible for the alleged in
dignities to Mrs. Morris. Senator
Tillman used the occasion to make
bitter assault on President Roose-
welt, and succeeded in holding up
the nomination for a long time. Pres
ident Roosevelt came to Mr.. Barnes
defense with statements to show that
the arrest of Mrs. Morris had been
justified.

SINE UDER ANY NAME.

1t has been intimated that the
people ould not so strenously oppose
ship subsidy if some other name
were given it because of the common
belief that subsidy" is word which
means giving something fornothing.
The people do seem to understand
the meaning OF the word subsidy"
pretty well as applied to the scheme
to shove money out of the nations
treasury into the Golfers of the ship
trust, and they can't be fooled by
changing the name. That trick was
tried once, the subvention' being
substituted fol- subsidy" The peo-
pie knew for sure when the change
was made that there was something
wrong about the subsidy scheme.
1t didn't take long to get onto the
fact that subvention meant subsidy

HOOKWORN IN WEST VIRGINIA.

Hookworm, the new loathsome di-
sease so prevalen! throughout the
middle south, has attained no very
distressing stage in West Virginia,
but it is known to exist here. In the
southeastern section, chiefly among
the mountains, the disease may have
spread more than is suspected since
the state board of health of Virginia
has found some suspected cases at
the foothills of the Blue Ridge noun
tains.
According to statements made by
a prominent local physician, one
case is believed to have existed in
Wheeling and Charleston, the latter
sufferer being very prominent man.
Hookworm, the medical term for
which is uncinariosis, is dealt with in
a recent magazine article called
The Vampire of the South. 1t is
believed to have originated in this
country in North Carolina where in
some districts as many as eighy-fve
per cent of the children were affected
with the dreadful malady. The worm
is a parasite, seldom more than an
inch long, that gets in the body of
the victim, sometimes through the
feet. Multiplying, it literally draws
all the blood of the sufferer. In the
stages of the disease, the person af-
fected is oftentimes a sad sight to
behold. If left to the ravages ofthe
disease death results. But If treated
in time the disease is easily cured.
Statements were made by a local
physician that the diseases unknown

Following is dispatch -;'printed in

Following is a dispatch printed in
che Denver News:
Seattle, Washington. Oct. ~
VIM. J. Bryan's visit to the worlds
Fair today was made the occasion of
a popular demonstration, and rivaIed
IN earnestness the greeting to Presi-
dent Taft two weeks ago, and the
multitude that crowded around him
was so great that it was impossible
for him to see the exhibits.
Bryan and his escort arriyedTat the
fair grounds in automobiles at 1918
O'Clock and found their entrance
blocked by a crowd that closedNabout
his automobile, sweeping aside the
exposition guards. The automobile,
after long delays, reached the gov
eminent building and Bryan and his
guards entered. At once thousands
of persons poured into the building,
not only preventing the visitors from
seeing the exhibits, but threatening
TO destroy them. Bryan's visit to
the other buildings was attended by
similar crush. Bryan will learn
what the fair really looks like from
Mrs. Bryan, who came here yester-
day, registered at a hotel under her
own name, and was permitted to see
the sights unmolested.
Bryan was entertained at luncheon
in the New York building, and after
luncheon he spoke to an immense
outdoor audience in the natural am
phitheater. His subject was THE
Average Man" the address having
been delivered on the lecture plat
toEH frequently.
When Bryan had concluded his
lecture he did not stop, but in an
+extemporaneous speech answered
President Taft's address delivered
here two weeks ago. Bryan took
occasion to differ with President Taft
regarding home rnle for Alaska and
also touched on the conservation of
natural resources, bat not discuss did
the ship subsidy question. He said in
part.
Pioneers of this great northwest,
men farsighted, resolute in purpose,
who braved the dangers ofthe wilder
ness of Alaska, have asked that they
be recognized as capable of attending
to their own affairs. Are you afraid
to trust thems You can not refuse
their request without rejecting on the
principle of self-Sovernment. They
have the intelligence and capabilities
rs well as the right. Alaska should
have the right of self-government.
Alaska has a right to make her
ownmistakes. Ifshe makes mistakes
she will suffer from them and then
correct them, but If we deny her
self-sovernment, and in an attempt
to dictate her local affairs make mis-
takes, they will be long uncorected
and We will be responsible for the
conditions that will follow,
Alaskans are asking for just what
they are fighting for the world over.
They want to be the architects of
their own destiny, and the guardians
of their own affairs. You can not
refuse them this.
There is another burning question
up here in the northwest, the mono
poly of natural recources. Who can
measure the value of one mountain
stream: Yet many of them are be-
coming the private property of in
'lividuals forever. Leave this question
to the common people and there will
be athousandto one against perpetual
franchises"
