numerically one Of the. strongest of
the city companies. Its charter dates
from the year 1929 and. though the ex

ample evidence that the calling of
spectacle maker was extensively fol.

NO LIGHT FROM THIS CONGRESS

Congress went into session again
on Monday last. 1t will expire of
limitation on the fourth of March.
Less than three weeks, including
the holidays. fourteen days this
month and about forty-five after
the holidays. We do not expect
much from it. Nearly all the stall
warts are serving their closing
term, and most of them have
feeling that their labors in the past
have not been appreciated. If
most of the new men are COM
handing figures, they have not as
yet raised to their full statures.
The impression that the majority
are linked with the trusts has
become fixed upon the country.
We do not believe a word of it
We believe seven out of every ten
of the members are honest.
honorable and patriotic men, seven
out of ten of the members of both
parties. But we believe that this
general impression was the under
lying cause of the revulsion seen
at the polls in November last.
In our thought there will be no
Improvement when the majority in
the house changes and the majority
in the senate is greatly reduced.
The reason for that conclusion is
that not from any man in either
party has note been sounded that
indicates comprehension of what
the real trouble is, or from whence
the cure must come.
We reject 1.-THE cry that the
trusts own and control congress
or any considerable portion of IT.
But it is natural for the ordinary
man when he becomes very
wealthy, no matter how he obtained
his wealth, to think that there
was no accident about it; THAT the
reason he obtained his wealth was
because of his superior brain, and
that of right, his opinion is of
more value than that of the
ordinary man, and that he should
be listened to AMI his sup eriority
acknowledged. And there are
always enough to confirm his
opinion.
Well, the bankers of the country
did not make a brilliant showing
during the great war, but they did
succeed in having established a
socalled financial system, founded
on the debt of the nation and
calculated to make a great portion
of that debt perpetual and to keep
the people paying the Interest
upon it forever. 1t is common
theory among gamblers that il a
man plays at faro and wins as much
as he loses, the percentage of the
game will eventually make a
pauper of him.

NEARLY TWO HUNDRED TEACH
ERS ATTENDING THE INSTITUTE.

The Mason County Teachers In
stitute assembled August j, in the
court house at Point Pleasant. On
enrolment it was found that l7s
teachers were in attendance. OF
this number los were Indies and g.
ger rtlemen.
For Instructors DR.. LoudOn, of
Columbus, Ohio, and Mr.. Marsh of
the state department of school were
introduced. For instruction in
music, the Institute has the able in
struction of Mrs. Bryan, of Point
Pleasant.
For secretaries County Superin-
tendent Green appointed Mr.. Asher,
and Miss Bessie Hereford. The
teachers all appear to be interested,
and all have went to work with a
will to make this the most successful
Institute Mason County has ever
had.
Proceedings were begun Monday
morning by devotional services, con-
Quoted by Rev. o. NJ. Pullin, Of
Point Pleasant. Co. Supt. Green
then made an enthusiastic address
to the Teachers, in which he ex-
pressed it as his wish that each
teacher would do all they could to
make this Mason County's best and
most successful institute. DR.. Lou
don and Mr.. Marsh were then intro
duced to the institute by supt.
Green. Both honored the occasion
by short addresses, after which the
Institute adjourned for dinner.

LESS HAZARDOUS.

If statistics may be relied upon,
thcn, railroad travel is becoming less
hazardous each year. At that the
record of our railroad killed and
wounded is startling, but better safe
ty devices and more prudence and
foresight in general railroad manage
ment are reducing the total deaths
and injuries resulting from travel.
For the wear ending June 80,
1909, the total number of persons
killed was S,722 while a5, ,626
persons were injured on or by rail-
road trains in this country. Only
25s of the killed were passengers, as
against $Sl the preceding year. Al
most ) 900 were trespassers, and s.
5e5 we're employees. On an average,
one passenger was injured for every
6,+5S persons carried.
From this it is evident that much
has to be done to make railroad
travel safer. Dermlments and col
lisions are assigned as the most fre-
quent causes of accidents to passen-
gers, Sc persons being killed and
1906 persons being injured thereby.
When complete block signal ap-
paratus has been installed on rail
roads of this country-a relatively in
expensive undertaking, which can be
completed in a reasonable time
railroad fatalities will be greatly re-
duced.

RUN OVER And KILLED SUNDAY
MORNING BY FREIGHT TRAIN.

This community was greatly
shocked Sunday morning, when the
news was flashed over the city that
section foreman Richard Lawnorn
and Riley Gleason, had been run
over and killed BY freight train No.
90.
Saturday night about eleven
o'clock, Riley Gleason, Richard
Lawhorn and Robert Camden started
for their homes, at Cedar Trees,
about mile and half above town,
on a railroad tricycle.. After going
short distance, the tricycle. jumped
the track and was placed on again,
going short distance farther when
it again left the track. They left it
in the ditch along side of the track
and proceeded to walk the balance
of the way home. When about a
mile from town Gleason and Law
horn sit down on the track to rest,
as they said, Camden going on home
by himself. This was about twelve
and the supposition is that they fell
asleep and were run over by the
train as before mentioned. Gleason
was killed outright, being cut into
across the stomach, fragments of his
body being picked up along track
for distance of forty-fve car
lengths. Lawhorn had both of his
lower limbs cut off and one hand,

also deep cut in his forehead and
one over his heart. He died at the
home of his sister here, Sunday
morning, at nine o'clock. He is
survived by wife and one child.
Gleason was the only support of a
widowed mother and several little
children and was twenty-five years
old. Lawhorn was member of the
Odd Fellows lodge, belonging some
where's in Virginia, but it is thought
that he was not in good standing at
the time of his death, as the latest
receipt found among his effects was
dated about eight years back. He
was about forty years of age and an
extremely large man, and one of the
Oldest section men, in point of SER
vice, in the employ of the K. & NJ.
The engineer heard a knocking
under the engine and sent the head
brakeman to investigate, when the
body of Gleason was seen in some of
workings under the engine. He had
been dragged FOR nearly half mile
before the train was stopped.
Gleason was buried Sunday after
noon as his body was so mangled
that it was impossible to embalm
him. The funeral of Lawborn was
held Tuesday afternoon, at three
o'clock, Rev. Pullin officiating, and
burial at Lone Oak cemetery.

Despite his condition, Neal evi-

THE OHIO SITUATION.

The insurgents won out in the re-
cent Ohio Republican convention
with dark horse, Warren G. Hard
ing, an editor and long known po-
litical spell binder, for governor. 1t
was distinct rebuke to the stand
patters. The platform is compro-
mise, with a half-hearted endorse
ment of the tariff enormity. The
regulars, while pretending satisfact-
ion, will display considerable apathy
during the campaign. The chances
seem bright that the President own
state will be lost to the Republicans
this fall and that Governor Harmon
will be reelected. thus making him
formidable candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for President.
President Taft is reported as pleas
ed with the nomination, but doesn't
appear to bubble over with cnthusi-
asm. and Mr.. Roosevelt with great
effort is constrsi ned 10 refrain from
comment and keep mum. Both are
worried over the situation. 1t
creates feeling akin t, that which
occurs as one is on the point # start
ing on the toboggan slide. Ohio
Reruhlicarism is an elusive quantity.
The great Roosevelt plurality Of
295 900 in 1904 had practically
melted away in 1908. Mr.. Taft to-
tai vote was 57S,SI2 to Mr.. Bryan
SOC, ~. But Iudson Harmon vote
for governor at the same election was
55e,569 to Mr.. Harris 5$$, 1877. |
Thus Democratic gubcrnatorial
plurality of 1888 was blanced
against Republican presidential
plurality Of 65.59I.
That the Taft vote does not repre-
sent the normal Republican plurality
on national issues is shown BY the re-
suit Of the congressional elections.
The Republicans elected IS Of the
Representatives in Congress and the
Democrats eight. The combined
plurolities Of the thirteen successful
Republicans were 6i'I79. The com
h'ned p!uralihes OF the eight success
fal Democrats were 1919. Thus
the net Republican Congressional
plurality was only i5,o@l.
The political pendulum in Ohio
swings over wide arc. In 1899 Mr..
Cleveland came within l,a7e votes
Of carrying the state. In 1895 the
Republican candidate for governor
had then Unprecedented plurality
Of 9s,6ss. In 1904 Mr.. Roosevelt
had record-breakins plurality of

erats elected a governor with $4,000
