A Call For COrnWeII.

Cannot the trouble in the Democratic
camp over in the fifteenth West Virginia
senatorial district be composed by the
nomination Of Hon. John J. Cornwell, Of
Hampshire county, for State Senator?
Mr.. Cornwell'S record in the State Senate
several years ago was that OF a high, clean
and able man, actuated by pure motives
and incapable OF Sordid and dirty politics.
The services that he rendered the State
were so well recognized that when he
became the nominee OF the Democratic
party for Governor in 1904 he ran many
thousands Of votes ahead of his ticket.
Mr.. Cornwell has the confidence of the
people of West Virginia, regardless of
party, and in certain sense he belongs
to the State as whole. II is for this rea-
son that we venture to intrude into the
affairs of the Hampshire Morgan Jeffer-
Son-Berkeley district with the suggestion
that the unfortunate situation there exist
ing may be happily harmonized by the
return of Mr.. Cornwel to the State SEN
ate. His presence in that body would
create healthier political atmosphere.
II would make for better legislation and
better administration in every branch of
our State government. Ii would be well
coined by every patriotic Republican as
well as every good Democratin the State.
The Democrats of the fifteenth district
would make West Virginia their debtor,
and we hope would unity their own
ranks, by placing Mr.. Cornwell anew in
the upper branch OF our Legislature.
WE take the above editorial from the
Monroe Waterman, published at Union,
w. Va, last week. The inspiration
that came to the editor of the Waterman,
Hon. A. S. Johnston, was similar to that
which at the same time seized the editor
OF the Register.
This suggestion is one that ought to
commend itself to all the people Of this
senatorial district. Senator Silver has
done nothing to entitle him to second
term. On the contrary, few self-respect-
ing men, aside from politicians with self
lSf ends to SubServe, will vote for him
again, for he has declared by his action
that the people have no right to express
themselves on a great moral question
and has shown that he is owned and con-
trolled by the whiSkey interests and cor
porations. We do not think that Senator
Silver will again be nominated. If he
shall De, hundreds OF Democrats will de-
sert the ticket and the party will lose
votes that it will never regain. Every
instinct OF political common sense calls
for the nomination and election OF John
CoTnwell.

]. Dale Diehl, OF York; P. S. Miller,
Hanover; Paul Brown, Smithsburg, and
w. L. Reithmiller, of Indiana, completed
a three-day fast on Tuesday evening,
which they commenced after supper Sat-
urday. All four are students at Gettys-
burg College and read in a physical cul-
ture magazine that it was well to give
ones digestive organs rest once in
while, just as it was well that students
should have vacation. Accordingly
the quartet formed an agreement that
nothing but water should pass their lips
for three days. All of the young men re-
port that they are feeling well and thai
the craving for food which they first ex-
perienced has passed. Each has lost
several pounds. The fast will be broken
by degrees.

WE somehow approve of the Sugges-
lion of the Romney Review that the Key
ser Preparatory Branch OF the State Uni
versity be converted into an agricultural
and horticultural college. This inStitu-
ton, so far as we are aware, has never
been OF especial value to the educational
interests of the State, as there was really
little or no demand for its establishment
in the first place. We can readily see
that as a horticultural college it could be
made of vast good to the great fruit

an important business in the eastern part
OF the State. Keyser is very eligibly 10

ever. hope to be.

all on account of the trouble with Mr..
Pinchot over the conservation policy of
Secretary Ballinger. The administration
has not been frank, to put it very mildly,
in its handling OF this matter, and the
more it is stirred up the worse it is for
the President and his cabinet. DiSclo-
SureS made by aStenographer in the Sec
retary'S office last Saturday puts the Pres
dent in rather embarrassing position,
for it looks as if the President allowed
someone else to form his opinions for
him. Secretary Ballinger is in such deep
water that he is bound to go under, and
the President isn't much better off.
