ANOTHER CONGRESSMAN.

Census inklings, cleaned from un-
official sources, but from indications
which are perfectly reliable, show
beyond question that based on the
census returns of 1910, West Virginia
will be entitled to an additional
congressman; and that from some
where in the galaxy of ffty-fve
counties which now comprise the
state, will be carved the Sixth con-
gressional district.
For three years it had been con-
ceded that the change in population
centerS would be such as to necessitate
a Encouragement of congressional
boundaries, but until much more re
Gently there was no positive assurance
that the state would show a popula-
ton sufficient to entitle it to an ad-
ditional congressman.
There is at present, however infor-
nation obtainable which teaches
beyond question that such will be the
case. And one of the remarkable
things which public will be shown
when the figures are made public will
be the fact that the twelve counties
comprising the Fifth congressional
district have had greater growth
than any other twelve contiguous
counties in the state, and that the
cities and towns in the Filth district
have shared the same growth

THAT FREE DINNER PAIL."

1t was the full dinner pail that the
Republican orators shouted about
during the last campaign managed
by Mark Hanna. 1t NAV well be
supposed that the mere fact that
there were full dinner pals, was the
reason Mckinley WIS elected Presi-
dent. Ten years, however, has
brought about wonderful change in
the price of articles that should 20
into this same dinner bucket; yea,
even four years has produced won
derful difference. Take the same ar
ticles, and use the same amount of
money now, that was then used, and
that same dinner bucket would be
about the size of pint tin cup, if it
was filed up. And the worst of the
evil arises in the fact, that the in
creased price of the products that are
eaten by the laboring men, do not,
in only few instances, 90 to the
producer,-the farmer,-but instead
are gathered up by the cold storage
man, the racker, the Spectator. 1t
IS the former who should get this in
crease, and that, too, without hay-
ing to pay three prices for his ma
chinery, and what he wears. If the
Republican party would only con-
cIude that monopolists have no right
to dictate laws, and a less right to
violate them, the great mass of hu-
mauity would have a little show.

THE LANGUAGE OF FLAGS.

To Strike the flag" is to lower
the national colors in token of sub
mission.
Flags are used as a symbol of rank
and command, the officers using them
being called flag officers. Such flags
are square, to distinguish them from
other banners.
A flag of truce is white. flag dis
played to an enemy to indicate a de-
sire for parley or consultation.
The white flag is the sign of peace.
After a battle, parties from both sides
often go out on the field to rescue the
wounded or bury the dead, underline
protection ofthe white flag. The red
is sign of defiance, and is often used
!. by revolutionists. In our service it
is mark of danger, and shows
vessel to be receiving or discharging
her power,
The black flag is the sign of piracy.
The yellow flag shows the vessel 10
be at quarantine, or is the sign of
contagious disease.
A flag at half mast means mourn
ing, Fishing and other vessels re-
turn with a flag at half mast to an
nounce the loss or death of some of
the men.
Dipping the flag is lowering it
slightly and then hosting it again,
to salute vessel or fort.
If the President of the United
States goes afoat, the American flag
is carried in the boys of his barge or
hoisted at the main of the vessel on
board of which he is.-School Jour

been Dissolved, and going after
business-votes-separtely, each side
is telling what it knows about the
other.
The truth is being uncovered.
Corruption heretofore suspected,
guessed at, or mildly asserted is now
being boldly and openly charged by
the men who know-those who are
on the inside''-the conspirators
themselves.
1t is the old, old story Of the pot
and the kettle.
There is no longer any reason to
doubt the dishonesty of the Republic
caa party in West Virginia. The
proof has been furnished by the or
ganization itself. If there is any
difference in the blackness of the
records OF the two factions-that
which is headed by "Standpat"
Scott and that which is headed by
Standardized" Hubbard-it is a
difference in degree only. Both are
black.
With the facts before them there
is no course open for the honest Re-
publican voter bat Reputation; and
the Register very much mistakes
the temper of the electorate of this
state if it fails to vote next fall for
the restoration of honest and honor
able methods in West Virginia politics.

At the home of the brides par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. F. Ed. Bletner, in
Mason City, last Sunday morning
was solemnned the marriage of their
daughter Ellen Mae, to Mr. Clarence
Blake.
At the appointed hour the couple
with their attendants, took their
places beneath an arch of flowers, to
the strains of Mendelssohn S wedding
march, played on the piano and viol-
in by mesdames Hemning and Cos
grove, of Huntington. The beauti-
ful ring ceremony of the Methodist
Episcopal church, was said by Rev.
Will H. Gilmore, of Clifton, in the
most beautiful and impressive man
ner.
At the beginning of the ceremony
Mrs. Mollie Simpson-Bryan. of this
place sang beautiful solo Song of
my heart
At the close of the ceremony con
gratulations were extended; after
which an elegant wedding breakfast
was served to the fifty guests present,
among whom were Congressman Jas.
H. Hughes, of Huntington, DR.. and
Mrs. Tunis Nunemaker, of William
son, Attorney and Mrs. Rankin Will
ey, of this place, and Others from
distance.
The bride was gowned in a suit of
light blue silk messaline, daintily
made, and carried bouquet of lilies
of the valley, and never appeared
to better advantage.
Mr.. and Mrs Blake will 90 to
housekeeping at Mason City, where
all their friends wish for them a
long and happy life
The bride is one of the choicest
young ladies of that section of the
country, where she has ever been a
bright star in the home circle and
now she has gone to reign in home
of her own.
The groom is the junior partner of
the firm of Leifheit&Blake, the Court
Street, Photographers in the city of
Pomeroy and son of Mr.and Mrs.
Morgan Blake, of Mason City, an
excellent young man of fine habits.

POT AND KETTLE.

The following is the way the
Wheeling Register sizes up matters
political in the state:
Decent voters Of all parties have
reason to be thankful for that devel-
opment of the senatorial fight which
has resulted in the presentation of
incontrovertible evidence of rascality
in the past conduct of the Republi-
can party ofwest Virginia.
Charges of corruption, crooked
ness and unfairness heretofore
brought, have rested largely upon
the honest convictions of persons
making such accusations; the proc,
unfortunately, has often been lacking
and in the nature of things has been
difficult to secure.
For this reason, and because of the
confidence inspired by the leaders of
earlier days, many Republicans have
refused to believe in the rottenness
of the party organization, and have
gone on voting the ticket with a de-
gree of regularity worthy of a better
cause.
The bitterness of the personal war
fare now being waged by the rivals
for the senatorial toga has brought
about a change. The party is split
into factions. The breach between
them widens each day. The leaders
aligned with one faction or the other.
no longer feel common interest in
The concealment of one another's
sins.

LOOK AT THIS

In 1890, the United States con-
tanned l2, 500, 900 families, of whom
1875, 900 had each an average wealth
of 526t, 900; ,S75, 900 had each an
average wealth of SIG, 900; $780,
600, had each an average wealth of
$500; and 5,5oo,ooo had each an
average wealth of $50.
The number of families since then
has increased to about 1000, 900,
and the opinion of most observers is,
that there has been 4 closer restrict
ion of wealth. Take the basis APP
piled above, however, and we now
have 10000 families that are rich,
1850, 900 thatarc well todo, 6,S4o,-
600 that are poor, and 5000, 900
are very poor. The increased cost
Of living in nation where there are
so many poor must excite the grayest
national concern. If the living that
was meaSer in $50 has become worse
in 1910, and tie high cost of living
has been inert ased, without amin
crease in incodeS, then eyerr sub-
ject with whi4h we have to deal is

THE BALL GAME AT CHARLESTON.

We regret that there should have
been any trouble at Charleston over
the ball game played there on Mon
day with our home team. The Sum
day game resulted in a tie, and tie
game was called, on account of dark
ness, the score being to 9. The
game on Monday was played up to
the second half of the seventh inning,
when Hunter hit two Dagger, but
was called out by Umpire York, be-
cause he failed to touch the first base.
Manager Mack demonstrated against
this, and insisted that he did touch
FIST, and the Umpire ordered him
out of the game. He went to the
benches but because he did not i'm
mediately direct another man to take
his place the Umpire declared the
game forfeited.
We cannot believe that this is a
one-sided case of frenzy" as indi-
Gated by the sporting editor of the
Charleston Gazette, but on the con-
trary, we are of opinion that the
Umpire was equally to blame to
as Mr.. Mack. Mack knows the game
and he knows his rights, and he has
a right to insist upon them. An
Umpire is just as likely to get
frisky" as anyone; and it is as i'm
portant for him to keep cool as it is
for the players.
These disturbances in our ball
games should be kept down as much
as possible, and should not be en-
couraged by the enthusiastic adher-
entS OF either SIDE. 1t detractS IRON
the sport, stirs up bad blood, and
creates asentiment against the game.
We 90 to see ball games because it
is nice, clean sport. Rowdyism
should have no place there. a fair,
square deal is what the people want
to see; that is all they ask; the
players want the same.
If the sporting Editor above men
toned had been little more careful
in his expressions of criticism on Mr..
Mack it would have been more to
his credit, and might have created a
better feeling amongst the players of
the two teams.

The Democrats in Congress ought
not to oppose the bill to establish
Postal Savings Banks. One of the
greatest blessings that can be given
the poor people is safe depository
for their savings. Mr.. Gladstone
said the greatest blessing England
gave her people in the 18th century
was postal savings banks With a small
interest. 1t will be great benefit
to this country also.

A GREAT BIG JOKE!

There are a great many things
which take place on this Mundane
Sphere that can be accounted for
without much effort; there are few
things which happen now and then,
that only some of the master minds
can fully appreciate and give a reason
for; but there is one thing that has
been going on in the County of
Mason, that we believe no one, ex-
cept the angels in Heaven can give
solution for, and we shall not call
upon them for fear their answers may
reflect, in some measure, upon some
county officials, past or present.
We refer to the last settlement of
J. o. McDermitt, late Sheriff of this
County. If any one can give an in
telligent reason why Mr.. McDermitt
has not made full, complete and
final settlement as sheriff, we should
be glad to hear him do so; ifany one
can give satisfactory explanation as
to why the County Court does not
compel Il full, complete and final
settlement, Ee should be glad to have
that done. So far as we can ascer-
tain, or so far as the records show,
nothing hs.s oecn paid into the hands
of Jno. P. Austin by J. o. McDer-
mitt; and it also seems that neither
the County Court nor any one else,
has taken any steps to compel him
to make settlement. This is an
absolute outrage upon the tax payers
Of the county. If Mr.. McDermitt is
indebted to the county, in the sum
OF 81, 500, and he does not dispute
the records, then the county is los
ing 81, 200. every year. He has been
out of Office over a year and a third.
See what it amounts to. What right
has any man 10 keep county funds
and not account for them, and that,
too, at once: What right has any
county official to permit this kind of
business to go on from month to
month, and make no effort, or take
no steps, to stop it; and in permit
ting it, the question naturally arises
if the responsible officer is not as
guilty as the delinquent one.
IfMr. McDermitt has the where
withal to make settlement, why
doesn't he 90 ike an officer should
and pay it over to his successor,
which would enable Mr.. Austin to
pay off county orders and thereby
stop the interest on that much of the
county indebtedness; or why does
not Mr.. Austin go before the County
Court and demand that his prede-
cessor pay him what is due to the
County and Districts. 1t must be
worse than we imagined. The pub
lie ought to demand that steps be tax
en- looking towards a prompt and COM
plete settlement of this business.
If the tax payers do not, they ought
to have the joke on them,-there is
where it is.
