THERE is some discussion of the ad-
visibility of calling an extra session OF the
Legislature for the purpose of passing a
local-option law, and even those news
papers that are believed to represent the
liquor interests seem to be favorable to
such action. OF course, there is no prob
ability that prohibition amendment could
be passed, for the whiSkey people own
enough Senators to make this impossible.
II, however, there is any chance to secure
fair local-option law, we think Cover
nor Glasscock would be justified in call
ing the Legislature in special session. The
people would, we are sure, endorse such
action.
This State needs, and ought to have, a
local-option law-not the kind, however,
that the whiskey people framed last WIN
ter and that was supported by the patriots
from Breweytown formerly known as
>-Wheeling), but fair and honest measure
such as those now in effect in Ohio and
Indiana and Virginia. If it is at all prob
able that we can have such law, we
hope that Governor Glasscock will give
us the opportunity of securing it. West
Virginia is tagging behind in the moral re-
form procession-let us get to the front.

WHEN Judge A. q. Dayton opened
the recent session OF the United States
Court in Wheeling he made some charac-
teristic pointed remarks on the subject of
the liquor traffic. He stated that the vio-
lations OF the revenue laws overShadOwed
by far all other violations of United States
laws. In speaking of them he contended
that from 60 TO Is per cent of all the
crimes committed can be traced to the
liquor traffic. The dealers in the liquor
traffic were severely scored by Judge
Dayton, who charged that no one en-
gagged in the liquor traffic could live an
honest life nor can il be made an honest
traffic. The influence of the liquor men
over the State Legislature was talked of,
and the lawmakers who had assisted the
liquor interests were branded as dishonest
men, debauchers of public trusts and
criminals. The grand jury was urged to
take up this question more than any other
if possible and put down traffic that is a
curse to the country.

ALTHOUGH a more or less limited
number Of Congressman are permitted to
take part in the committee deliberations
and occasionally make speech on the
floor of the Senate or the House, in reali-
ty the tariff bill is the work of only about
half dozen men-Speaker Cannon, Sem
ator Aldrich, Serene Payne and two or
three others. Everyone of these men
are absolutely in sympathy with the great
corporations and the moneyed interests
that receive the chief benefits of a high
tariff, and have no regard whatever for
the great masses of people-the consum,.
ers-except certain sort of cheap and
insincere concern for political purposes
only. In view of these facts it is useless
TO expect any relief from the present Con-
gress. There is only one way TO obtain
a fair deal, and that is TO turn out these
creatures of the trusts and elect in their
places men who can distinguish the gen.
eral good of all the people from the sell
fish interests OF a few favored individuals.

IN speaking of the tariff few days ago
Senator Elkins said: at would be great
blow to our State to have lumber on the
free list"
II would indeed be terrible thing TO
have the price of lumber reduced, and
the man who wants TO build himself a
little home, or repair that which he may
already possess, would grieve himself to
death. How can anyone with heart in
him wish to curtai the profits OF the poor

THE real boss of Congress, Senator
Aldrich, made his tariff speech on Mon
day. He made much of the point that his
tariff bill will raise plenty OF money TO run
the government. This is probably true,
but even so, this money must come d.
rectly from the people. And what is still
worse, while they are being taxed and
fairfield to run the government, they are
being taxed and fairfield much larger sum
for the benefit of the rich manufacturers
and the never satisfied trusts.

A STARTLING STATEMENT.
New York Medical Authorities Claim
Dyspepsia Causes Consumption.

The post mortem statistics of the big
New York hospitals show that some cases
of consumption are due to unchecked dys-
pepsia, especially when the victim was
predisposed to tuberculosis.
Dyspepsia wears out the body and brain,
the weakened, irritable stomach is unable
to digest food, the body does not receive
the required nouriShment, constipation en-
sues and the victim becomes thin, weak
and haggard. AS result, the body be-
comes fertile field for the germs of dis
ease to lodge and flourish.
Therefore the person who permits dyS-
pepsia to progress unhindered, is guilty of
contributing toward the development of
one of the most insidious and fatal diseases
known to mankind.
Dyspepsia is durable if properly treated.
Remnants Pharmacy sell remedy which
they positively guarantee will cure indi-
gestion or dyspepsia or they will pay for
all the medicine used during the trial.
This remedy is an absolute new medical
discovery and has been named Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablets. Certainly no offer
could be more fair, and the offer of Rein
han's Pharmacy is proof positive that
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets are a dependa-
BITE and infallible remedy. lnasmuch as
the medicine will post you nothing if it
does not benefit you we urge you who are
suffering with indigestion or dyspepsia
to try this remedy. A twenty-five cent
box of Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets contains
enough medicine for fifteen days treat
ment. Remember Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets are only sold in Shepherdstown
by Remnants Pharmacy.

A few years ago it was customary to
shoot robins and many other of our most
beautiful and lovable birds as soon as
they made their appearance in the spring,
but Observer is very thankful that this is
no longer the case. II is not only that all
the birds are protected by law-there is
at the same time different sentiment on
this subject, and almost everybody is now
interested in caring for the birds and offers
inducements for them to come and make
their homes about our houses. There's
nothing much sweeter than to watch the
birds these spring mornings as they busy
themselves building their nests and getting
ready to set up housekeeping.
