What the OoIies Had.

Little Mary was really very i'll. Moth
er said she was sure It was an attack
OF appendicitis. but grandma was
equally sure the little n was threat
ened with commissions.
The argument waxed warm in
Mary's presence. and appropriate
remedies were used. and the next day
she was better.
Coming into her mothers room dur
ing her play. she said:
Mamma. two OF my dollies are
very sick this morning"
Indeed. dear. I am very sorry. What
a the matter with them?"
"Well l don't really know. mamma,

Enter a Bar; Lose a Job.

Baltimore, March 2l.-Vice Presi
dent George l.. Potter, of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad, has issued
new orders concerning drinking by
employees, especially trainmen. The
order says that any man who enters q
bar room loses his job. whether on
duty or oil. He said today:
"Any man who works for the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad and goes into
saloon leaves his job on the outside,
which can be picked up and taken by
better man, and thus he runs the
chances of losing it when he comes out
of the doar to t., Ike it up again."
Several discha ged men were in the
main office recently to see about REIN
statement. While waiting in the ante
rooms for an audience with Vice Pres
ident Potter, they were asked by the
clerk if 1t was "a whisky case"
"lf yours is such. added the clerk,
"yon might as well not waste time, as
Mr. Potter will under no circumstances
reopen such case"

1t has been said that w. J. Bryan
will be candidate for the United
States senate next year in the state OF
Nebraska. The legislature Of that
state has passed q law providing for
general primary elections including
the office of United States senate
framed after the fashion Of the Oregon
law. With this law IN force the prob
abilities are that Mr. Bryan will be
the next senator from Nebraska. As a
member Of tie United States senate
Mr.. Bryan would be of great service
to his country. We feel confident that
If he could bat give the people an op.
portunity to see his great ability As q
statesman put to practjced test he
would sosu so grow in the con fidencs

trust Of the country could not keep him

The people living in Jefferson coun-
ty who want to trade in Martinsourg
have been complaining as usual inns
spring Of the terrible condition Of the
roads leading from the county line 10
our town aud many have been forced
to go to CharIestown and even Hagers-
town over the Norfolk and Western
railroad by the condition of the Befke-
ley county roads. We hope the coun-
ty court may see it's way clear thls
summer to make at least one good
road TIC the Jefferson county line IL
means thousands OF dollars to the bus
mess interests of Martinsburg which
is matter worthy Of serious consider
alton. II we wish the good people OF
Jefferson county to come here 10 trade
we ought TO show our appreciation OF
their trade by giving tLem good roads

There is clearly nothing that is
needed in Martinsburg more than a
comfortable, b. Il 0. passenger sta.
ton. AS we have often called the at
tentlon Of the public 10 the fact. The
present structure Is a disgrace to the
town and worse than disgrace TO the
owners. There is hardly farmer IN
the county who would keep his cattle
In such shack We think the health
authorities of the community ought 10
take The matter in hand and that they
should indiet the officials of the &. &
u. railroad for maintaining such a
nuisance, menace to the health and
life of the public. 1T Is nuisance but
the B. q o. railroad has long had it's
own sweet way in this state and seems
to have license to do things wa eh
would bot be tolerated in an indivltiu
al TO- day. T amount Of business
given to the road by Martinsburg
certainly warrants better treatment 10
Our people than they are getting. Ours
Is the nost important station 90 the
line Of the road between Washington
and the . 10 river and yet we ale
compelled 10 use a building that j.
not tit for stable as passenger sta
ton.

Lineoln's centennial birthday was
generally observed throughout the

speeches galore and all honor was
surg TO the memory of the emancipa-

Emancipation Proclamation aud are
ever ready to enforce negro rule upon
the South take good care to keep the
negro at arms Tenth themselves. No

There 10 one fatal fault with the pes
pie Of Martinsburg and that is the pet
ty jealousies among them and the dis
position to pull down their home peo-
pie and to take hold of and push the
interest of foreigners. If some fellow
for instance, had come to Martinsb .rg
and attempted to get up capital
enough to build and start an EGGPLANT
there would have been no trouble in
doing SO. This is matter which we
are 10th to acknowledge but ne erthe-
less 1t is the truth and if the town is to
grow and keep up to the procession
our people must stand together not
wait until some foreigner comes 10
take the lead and make fortune with
our holp ana capital while we content
ourselves with small salary or fee, q
few crumbs from the etranger's table.
Martin sbuEg Will boom when her peo-
pie begin to depend on themselves ans
to stand together, to trust each other
as they trust strangers and to help each
ether as they have so generously help
ed strangers

In vain. On the complaint of Mr.

Somehow the ounce produces

their distinguished services In the COM
mons. or else, In many cases, entered the
peerage on the deaths Of their fathers;
and the speaker declined to believe that
all representative character ana all
virtue and fitness for legislative WORK
vanished the moment a man passed from
one house to the other.
Turning then to the partisan aspects
of the case, Lord Curzon pointed out the
interesting fact that since 1880 there had
been created by Liberal governments no
fewer than 80 peers, against only 1Sl
by Conservative governments. Even the
present Liberal government in four
years has added thirty-five members TO
the body which 1t Is about TO destroy.
What effect these analyses and remind
ers will have upon the polling remains to
be seen. II may not be great But there
can be little doubt that the consideration
of such facts will be potent In the new
House of Commons, no matter what It's
composition If the question Of attempt
Ing the abolition of the Lords shall ever
be seriously raised.
