WAY UP YONDER NTRE "cORNFIELD."


The Virginia, stranded at Willow
Grove, has been blocked up and
Strengthened out and her hull calked
by Point Pleasant men. A canal
will be dug from her bow to the river,
50 that when rise comes she can be
easily launched. When the steamer
was pushed into the cornfeld the
river marked ~ feet at Willow Grove,
but she can be launched in 10 feet
less water. Capt. Henderson expects
that he will be able to get the yir-
ginia into the stream some time next
month, as there is generally a swell
in the waters during April.

iEjsz g.. HE TELEPHONE.

wish 70 cal attention to what
seems to me 20 be an abuse of the
telephone at the school binding.
Many persons cell for children for
trivial purpose or for reasons that
are not urgent. Many also call to
have children e.cused from school,
which could be done with greater
economy of time by writing 4 note.
Nearly all of these calls interrupt
class work in the office and. deliver
ing the message always interrupts
the work in the school room, and
every telephone call takes the time
of some teacher, whose time belongs
to the public, it should not be de-
manded for light reasons or for mat
tiers that are wholly private. 1t will
be gratifying to see such nse of the
telephone very materially reduced.

The Spanish language.

The Spanish alphabet is perfect
save for a single silent letter, h.
Each letter has only one sound and
pronounced as spelled. The writ
ten language therefore is, with a
single exception, free from redun-
dant letters. The chief difficulty
in the language to English speaking
people is the infection of its verbs.
These move from one mood and
tense to another by terminal
changes, while English verbs move
by auxiliaries. In infection Span
ish follows Latin, of which it is a
beautiful and richly endowed
daughter, so much so that it adopts
no word or phrase from other Ian
yuages.

this is pleasanter way of living
then to be eternally growing and
running your buzz saw. 1t is also a
fact that a polite, agreeable man is
more apt to succeed in life than a
crouch. Don't imagine that it is
your mission in life to reform the
faults of others; your own faults,
and look after your affairs as success
fully as possible. And you cannot
hope to get along well unless you
are polite, fair and industrious instead
of meddlesome.

The happiest man in the land today
is the successful farmer. He sits un-
der his own vine and fig tree, undis-
turbed by the maddening noise of the
great city. Banks fail, railroads go
into the hands of receivers, booming
towns collapse, all business stagnates.
But the wise old farmer can snap
his finger at these things. He is the
monarch of all he surveys. on his
broad acres. And the honesty of
his boys and the purity of his girls is
guarded against temptations, and in
them he is giving the country its
manhood and womanhood. The farm
er is to be enyied, and, if he is nos
cOntented with his lot, he is lacking in
wisdom.

THE EDITOR AND HIS REWARD.

A lawyer charges man $40 for

says: "oh pshaw-is that enough2"
An undertaken charges 500 for con-
Quoting a funeral and he is just per.
fectIy lovely with everybody inside
and outside the family. a man buys
a gold brick and apologies for not
having bitten before. An editor
walks mile in the hot sun to get
the facts of a death or wedding or
social function and spends three hours
writing it up and tells lies praising
people until he hates himself. Then
If he makes an insignificant omission
or charges 5 cents straight for three
extra copies, he is a stingy, careless,
good-for-nothing-cuss, who never
gets anything right and charges four
times the price of city papers twice
as large.

FROM MASSACHUSETTS.

The result of special election of
Congressman in the Fourteenth Con-
gressional District of Massachusetts
in itself is solar plexus blow to the
Administration and the Republican
party, but, taken in connection with
the prior special election in the De
Arnold district of Missouri, its effect
is of national significance and conse-
quence. A plurality of l4,e in
November, 1908, for the Republican
candidate changed in sixteen months
time to plurality for the Democratic
candidate of 5000 is nothing less
than a political revolution of the
deepest character. In Massachusetts
this happened, and in a Massachusetts
district Republican ever since the es-
Enlistment of the Republican party.
The successful candidate, in stating
the reasons for the overwhelming
change, declared them TO be "a de-
mand by the people that the Repub-
lican party fulfill its pledge for an
honest reduction of the tariff. "
One cannot fill to remark after
this vote of yesterday that as the
West refused to accept as correct
President Taft's views of the tariff
law as expressed in his Winona speech
so the East now turns down the de-
tense of the East now turns down
the defense of that law made at Prov
idence, Rhode Island, last Monday.
The farmers of Missouri do not agree
with the trainers or the approvers of
that law, and the industrial workers
of Massachusetts stamps it 8 rejected"
with terrific force. There is no doubt
that the high costs of living have des-
troyed in the minds of many voters
all consideration of benefit from the
tariff law. They fail to discover pro-
lection to them in what they consider
the results of that law.
The Enquirer for months has point
ed out dilemmas of the Republican
party. fit reduces agricultural prices
and wages that enter into the costs
of manufactured articles it organizes
defeat in both agricultural and indus
trial districts. If it reduces prices
ofagricultural products alone, it sure
ly loses the purchasing power of the
agriculturists, injuries the trade of the
merchants and checks demand for
output of the manufacturing districts,
thus contributing to lower wages and
possibly stoppage of work in these
districts.
The Republican elephant is floun-
dering in the mire. Seeking on
every side solid footing in its efforts
to extricate itself from the slough Of
despond, it sinks deeper with each
attempt, Its political adyersaries
are quick to take advantage, of its
confusion and difficulties Cincinnati
