Affairs of the Churches.

Last Sunday was an occasion ofespecial
interest to the Methodist congregation in
Shepherdstown, when they occupied for
the first time since repairs have been made
their improved auditorium. The church
has been newly painted inside and out
side, new steel ceiling put in place and
the interior handsomely decorated by E.
D. Bowly. Although the congregation
was disappointed in not havingtheir win
dows finished and the new carpet laid,
yet the church was in good order and
showed the improvement that has been
made. Rev. DR.. w. w. VanArsdale, of
Cumberland, Nd, preached both at the
morning and evening services, and deliv-
cred earnest, powerful sermons, that were
edifying to large congregations. A more
forceful preacher has seldom been heard
in that pulpit. An appeal was made for
subscriptions to pay the Indebtedness in
Cured by the Improvements, and when
the gifts were footed up it was found that
even more than had been asked for had
been contributed. This made the good
pastor of the church, Rev. w. A. Lytle,
very happy, and he asks us to return his
hearty thanks to the members of the church
and other friends for their generosity. A
feature OF the services was the excellent
music rendered by the choir.

WE very heartily approve OF the edi-
torial from the Morgantown Post-Chron-
icle which we quote below. II is timely
and sensible. The people OF West Viz
ginia are neither intelligently or satisfac-
torily represented in the State Senate, and
they ought to rise up and demand a
change in the present system, so that they
can have Senators of their own choosing
instead OF being represented by men
foisted upon them by corrupt corpora
tions. The editorial we refer to is as
follows:
Two senatorial districts OF West Virginia
consist of five counties each. Under Our
system the ten counties have only four
senators to look after their interests in the
upper branch OF the State Legislature.
Six of these ten counties can have no rep
resentation from among their own citizens
in our State Senate.
Six other districts consist of four coun-
ties each. Twelve of these twenty-four
counties are always without senatorial
representative from within their own
DOIQGIS. lISSS NISht SiouiNto SShtehA,
thirty-four counties, and only sixteen OF
them have the privilege OF sending their
own Citizens to any upper house OF any
one Legislature. The other eighteen are
DISTINGUISHED in the State Senate.
The remaining seven districts consist oil
three counties each, and seven OF these
twenty-one counties are always in the
disfranchised group: In some OF these
three cornered districts the rotation plan
makes it impossible for the same senators
to serve two consecutive terms, so that
the counties of these districts are hardly
ever represented by an experienced
statesman. In others OF these seven three
cornered districts some one county SC
dominates the situation that il practically
hogs the entire representation, claiming
one senator from among its own citizens
every legislature and carrying a kind o
political mortgage on the other, by reason
of its preponderance of voting strength
in the general election.
No wonder that Senate thus consti-
tuted is unresponSive to the popular Will
thai il is disposed to take orders from the
lobby and from the managers OF the pollt
ical machines rather than from the people
The only way TO get satisfactory Senate
is to elect one senator from each county
Under such system both branches
the Legislature will represent all the peo
pie of the State. Such system accord
with the principles on which our form
government is established.

IN one OF his speeches few days ago
President Taft declared that the Aldrich-

Worse, still, what do you think OF a
man who makes such a declaration when
he knows it isn't so ?
