obserying tI,e sunday Law.

Sunday selling Is no longer q dis
turbing factor In the saloon question
IN Clarksburg. II there has beer
any of It the same has not been un-
earthed, though last year there were
two or three suspicious places. The
state law against entering saloons
on Sunday has largely contributed
to this better state OF affairs and the
discrimination OF saloonists to re-
spect the law has accomplished
much. Other places appear to be
less obedlent to the law than
Clarksburg is but these places too
are awakening to the fact that the
law must be obeyed.
Concerning the Sunday law and
the prosecution OF vlolators of 1t
the Wheeling Intelligencer contains
the following well written editorial:
In sentencing saloon keeper to
Six months in Jail and revoking his
license for violating the law prohib-
ting the sale OF intoxicating liquors
on Sunday, Judge Jordan put I'M
motion the most drastic statute ever
put on the West Virginia statute
books for such an offense. An Ell
kins saloon keeper has also fallen
foul OF the same new law and faces
a lengthy term OF Imprisonment with
q forfeited license.
The latter case has been carried to
the supreme court and will be
fought out on the ground that the
punishment is out OF proportion to
the gravity of the crime. The con.
stitutional point is for the supreme
court to decide and there Is no use
discussing 1t, but meanwhile It is
pertinent to observe that the drastic
character OF the law was exactly
what put an end to Sunday selling
In West Virginia. So long as fineI
averaging $50 was the only penalty
that could be imposed for this of
Tense. and not then when local au-
thorities connived with the saloon
interests, 1t was an impossible taskl
to close the saloon interests, 1T was
to close the saloon doors on the Sab.
bath. The present statute, however,
is so strong that 1t enforces itself.
No man, even though he be willing
to pay a fine. relishes the prospect OIL
six months in jail, the imposition OIL
which is mandatory upon the Judge,
and he is not going to take the chance
Even though the supreme court de-
clare the law unusual cruel, all must
admit that 1t accomplished most eff
feetnally the purpose for which 1t
was drawn.

TOO much attention cannot be gly-
en- by the county court to the public
roads and the road supervisors
should be men worthy OF the trust
Much depends on the latter. Farm
ers and in fact all residents Of the
county should insist on the best
roads possible. An awakening along
this line cannot come too soon as
the roads are not passable in places
and that fact not only depreclates
the value of property but it adds
cost in getting to and from market.

Some Causes of Nervousness.

Describing and defining nervous

Their name Is legion. Doubtless be-

heredity. but We must be or, our

A marvellous story of the mater

speech of Hon. Stuart F. Reed de-

such strides have been made. stu

Reed based his remarks on actual
statistics carefully gathered and
there is no exaggerat,on in what he
says. The speech is lesson in cur.

long time. Boards of trade and in.

the corn crop looks fine. the potato
crop is to be the largest in history,
meadows are fine and vegetation
generally is in superior shape. These

assured makes not only the farmer

consulted about the ballot before it was
printed and it was thoroughly explained
to hini how the ballot had been ordered
printed. And he was the genius who
made the "tnck" necessary, for he was
the recognized legal department Of the
Union party and it was on his approval
that the nomination certificate wss imper-
