ODD FELLOWS NEW HOME.

The committee in charge of the
new Odd Fellows home at Elk
ms which has been in the course
of construction for some time
past, has fixed September p as
the date for the opening of the
new heme, and everything will
be ready at that time.
In view of the coming opening
the committee suggested that
different lodges and delegates
begin at once to make arrange
ments for special trains and
transportation so that there may
be no disappointment at the time
A very large attendance at the
dedication is expected.

JOBS FOR THE BOYS.

1t is interesting to note the
workings of this conspiracy to
make jobs for politicians. Lis
ten to the list. There is a State
Tax Commissioner, with a salary
of 81, 900 annually. The State
Tax Commissioner has charge of
the bureau of accounting, and
can appoint as many examiners
as he may see fit, and may fix
their salaries and these salaries
are to be paid out of the fund of
the fiscal body for whom the
work is done. The State Tax
Commissioner already has seven
appointed examiners, besides his
regular Office help. He can APP
point seven times seventy and
double that if he sees fit. In the
eXigencies of a political cam
paign he can appoint examiners
unlimited for every county, for
every city and village, for every
school district in the State. If
he wants to do so, he can appoint
ten to each Of the counties, ten
to each one of the cities and vii
lagos and ten for each one of the
school districts, and the salaries
of these examiners must be paid
by the counties, cities, towns and
school districts in which the
work shall be done. 1t is an
absolute power to appoint polite
al healers without limit and pay
them out of the public treasury.
There was appointed in 1909 for
running this office the sum of
S28, 000 a year, and in addition
to this sum, the Commissioner
has an unlimited warrant to
draw upon every county, city,
town and school district in the
State.

A. E. Kenney, Henry Ash aud

Gentlemen
l have your letter of recent date
informing me of my nomination for
Congress in the Fourth District of
this state, by the Dem 3cratic Con-
gressionrl Convention, which met
in the city cf Parkersburg OIL the
18th instant.
The honor of this nomination
coming to me with such unanimity
as was expressed by the Conven-
ton has rendered it difficult for me
to give you negative answer. The
whole subject, however, of me be-
coming the standard bearer of my
party for Congress this year, was
considered and determined some
days before the Convention was
held, or my nomination made

the nomination was rendered to me
| should be obliged to decline it.
This conclusion was then reached
by me after a most careful consider
alton of the question. My reasons
for reaching this conclusion were
not largely Of business character,
for L assure you would gladly
make any reasonable sacrifice OF
personal interests ip order to COM
ply with the wishes of the Conven-
ton and the requests Of my friends.
For more than thirty years 1 have
contributed reasonable share of
my time and ability to the mainte-
nance of the essential principles of
the Democratic party, and 1 very
much regret that 1 cannot do so
now by taking This nomination with
which the Convention saw fit to
honor me. and representing the in
terests Of the many as against the
special interests of the few. But
the reasons that / have for this de-
clination are Of such character that
/ must be the judge of their suffi-
cheney, and so judging, L have de
cided that / cannot accept the nom
ination rendered me and make this

greatest body of hardwood in the

of ours is destined to become great
when her people are given a far

building railroads and opening up
the country where the great wealth
lies ready for development.
Do you know that West Virginia
has coal bearing area Of 1900
square miles, which is twice rs
much as the coal bearing area Of
Great Britain? This, too IS tue,
and is an evidence of the fact that
some day this State may he begged

to the fact that the vast territory
of this state has never been devel-

soon as the impedimeuts in the
path Of prosperity that are placed
there by unwise legislation are re-
moved, then the good old State will
blossom like the rose of prosperity,
with the newly available wealth de
rived from the vast natural resour-
ces that providence hiss blessed her
with.
West Virginia has more natural

BLAME PUT WHERE IT BELoSSS.

Inc responsibility for the high
cost Of living is put squarely
where it belongs in the report of
the minority of the senate inves-
tigating committee on the tariff
and the trusts. A grosser impo-
sition on fairness and truth than
the report of the Lodge wing of
this committee was never per-
petrated. The purpose of the
majorit.J was to frame an ieab-
crate document for the sole pur-
pose of shifting the responsible
~ for the high cost of living
anywhere but where it ought to
be placed, The whitewashers
performed their task to the best
of their ability, but no one will
be deceived who reads the min
ority report.
The principle tariff schedules
relating to the necessaries of life
are taken up in the minority re-
port and dissected one by one.
The president bordering to the
wealthy in these schedules is
shown---for instance, wearing
apparel being taxed more heav-
lily than champagne. AS the
minority commissioners tersely
put it, drinking champagne
was to be encouraged while
wearing WOODEN clothes is dis
outraged In this connection
the report says:
In all the United States there
were per cent of the people
directly financially interested in
maintaining the exorbitant tariff
on WOODEN goods, and perhaps
less than one per cent of this 3
per cent got 95 per cent of the
spoils beyond a living; and yet
every citizen must have WOODEN
garments and blankets. We
doubt not that every increase in
cost of these goods has added its
thousands of victims to the silent
tenants of the cemeteries and
grayeyards; yet every effort to
reduce even the most prohibitory
duties, So as to permit every
American citizen to be warmly
clad at a reasonable cost was per-
sistently voted down"
That is incontrovertible truth.
And every housewife will bear
witness to the truth of the COM
missioncr5' statement of the ef-
feet of the tariff on brooms as
follows:
The Payne-Aldrich bill took
broom corn from the free list and
made it dutiable at SO per ton.
Thereupon the price to the con-
sumner advanced $1.20 per dozen
on brooms, the tariff being rep
resented by about one-fifth of a
cent and the graft by $1.19 the
consumer being the victim. "
Columns might be quoted from
this report, but it is quite likely
that it will be circulated broad
cast as a Democratic campaign
paper 1t should be. 1t shows
up admirably the thievery of the
tariff the mendacity Of the
trusts cntronched by its sched-
ules, and the hypocracy of the
| majority of the senate commit
tee in seeking to place the re-
sponsibiIity for the high cost OF
/ living elsewhere than it belongs.
Were the facts and figures pre-
scented by this minority report
to be read and digestcd by every
voter the grand CID party"
now dogenerated into an organ
ization for the perputation of
privilege and plutocracy, would
be swept to deserved oblivion in
November

THE IMMIGRATION QUESTION.

c. S. Barrett, president of the Farmers
Union, in letter to the Progressive Far
mer, an agricultural weekly at Raleigh
n. g., discusses the question of immigra-
10 the South.
Mr. Barrett says that on recent visit
to Canada and the Northwest he found a
feeling Of unrest and dissatisfaction. He
believes it to be a question Of only a short
time when farmers in the Northwest will
be turning to South. These are precisely
the sort Of people" he adds, "tliat we need
for the army that Is building for tomorrow
as for to-day in the Southern States" Re.
cognizing The necessity "of more builders
for the waste places Mr. Barrett, never
theless, would enter upon The task Of invit-
ing immigration with well understood re.
strictions." lie would favor most cordial
invitation to those Americans who come to
us certified as to character, to earne slncss
and to ability by heir previous achieve
ments in other portions Of what has now

II would be largely to the advantage of
the South if some Of the energetic farmers
from the Northwest could be induced to
settle ON its surplus lands That many of
them would be moved to do so iffully adj
vised as e. what the South can offer then
admits of no serious doubt. II Is merely a
