SOLDIERS OF WEST VIRGINIA.

have been asked several times
for the number of pensioners upon
the pension roll of this State, and
take this means of answering that
question. On the soth day ofJune,
1910, which is the end ofthe pension
year, there were 1880 pensioners
in this State. and during the year
there was paid them Sc, JOS, ,ess.S7.
If wewere to withhold that amount
of money from circulation in this
State for one year, we surely would
think panic had struck US indeed.
The old soldiers of the civil war
should all draw 81 per day. They
spent their young days in hardships
to preserve this free and united coun-
try, and now, have not many years
to live, and their last days should be
kept free from want by good and
benevolent Congress.
Respectfully,
D. W. BROWN.

AN ELOQUENT 1ALKER.

DR.. Wilkinson, of Los Angeles,
CAL, held the congregation of the
Episcopal church spell-bound, last
Sunday night, while he made pow
.rful, eloquent appeal, with pathos
me of its surest phazes, for the unit
ed help of the American church at
large in establishing fund for the
proper maintenance of the aged or
disabled clergyman, who is too fire.
Iuently forsaken and forgotten, when
he days of his active service are end
ID, and he is, perchance, rendered
helpless and dependent by the mfr
mites of old age or the ravages OF
Ill health. His forceful pleading
would have touched heart cf stone,
md will, no doubt, bestir our peo-
ple to cooperate, in this laudable
Undertaking, as far as they are able.

HOOFFs opERAHoUSE, NOV. rs.

A Texas Ranger" a western
play that has won the esteem of the
public who enjoy clean cut and
truthful western life. The piece is
vastly different from the ordinary
western melodrama, as it is free
from trashy blood and thunder
situations SO often resorted. The
characters are not overdrawn or
exaggerated, with vein of bright
sparkling comedy woven through
out. Tie Surroundings are scenicly
correct and in exact keeping with
locality in which the scenes are laid
and rightly judged by all as artisti-
cally correct. 1t is edifyins and
exhiliarti-g. See it next Saturday
night at the Hoofrs Opera House.

ETHICSOF PROHIBITION
IT WILL NEVER PROHIBIT AND WILL AL
WAYS PROVE A FAILURE.

H.
Prohibition will never prohibit. This
is above all things an age when pro-
hibition has no special mission, be-.
cause men see that neither its ethics
nor its results can be defended
Where it has been tried it has prov
ed farcical and mortally corrupting
in the artificiality of life and morals
it has-unintentionally and uneon-
sciously, no doubs--fostered.
The reform must begin not only
with the individual, for it is pre-
eminently true of moral life that its
outsides always corresponds and
measures up, or down, to the inside
Tear down every saloon, distillery
and brewery and anything and every
thing outside the man that you argue
is temptation and cause of detection
and you will begin campaign of
destruction that will practically
empty the world as it will surely
empty manhood. Single out the
distillery, the brewery, the inn and
the saloon alone as the great causes
of moral detection and you will end
up by realization of a gross injustice
done and by knowledge that the
will of the supposed victim remains,
untouched. Continue to find every
excuse that mind can think of for
the drunkard to shift responsibility
from his shoulders to the thing
abused; send him here, there, every
where-to the tiny village. dry
town, hospital, home or cloister-
that he may escape temptation, and
YOU will end up by the realization of
that truth, patent now to every
thinker, viz, that your work has
been in vain since man cannot es-
cape from himself!
Clearly our duty then is individual.
1t lies in organized efforts to reach
the man who is defective, first, by
moral remedies TO release the weak
.ened will from bondage; and second
ly, by the educating and strengthen
ing of viii to the point where IT
reaches self-control. When that is
done the drink problem is a problem
no more ;the question has been solved
with the recovery of the proper
exercise of the will the man who
has been an excessive drinker can
voluntarily embrace total abstinence
if he finds himself unequal to the
struggle of living temperately, and IN
the act of violation attain virture
worthy of high commendation-aD
attainment manifestly impossible
where obedience to the wills Of
others is forced upon, contary to his
own.
The end the Probibitionist aims at
is in itself, SO far as it hopes to
abolish intemperance, most laudable-
1t requires good deal of sincerity
of heart and real love for the welfare
of humanity even to conceive of and
desire that end. But, if ever the
handwriting was wrote plainly on
the wall. it surely is now in the
manifest failure of probationary
means in so-called dry town, dry
communities and dry states.
Put into common parlance, the
message is this; Ethical ends demand
ethical means, and the ethics of pro-
bibition will moi stand investigation.

departments. That a slice will be
taken off the salary of the governors
secretary is believed. The leading
Democrats with whom MacCorkle is
allied have shown their contempt for
the tax commissioners department
and for the attorney generals Office.
A disposition on the part of some
Democrats to entirely cut off the tax
commissioners appropriations is ex-
pected to be shown and the same is
true of the attorney generals assist
ants.
Governor Glasscock has stated
that he will go ahead with his recon-
mendations to the legislature the
same as if that body had remained
Republican and in the case - legs
lative program is not carried out ehe
blame will be on the Democrats.

MAC. CORKEE
OUTLINES POLICY OF DEMOCRATIC LEG.
ELATURE-ECONOM7 WATCHWORD.

ELATURE-EC ECONOMY WATCHWORD.
Charleston. W. va.,-state off,
cials are at a loss to bnow just what
the coming legislature will do when
the time comes to pass an appropria-
ton bill. The Democrats in the
past campaign made the charge of
extravaganza and since that party is
in control of the House of Delegates
and has an equal number in the SEN
ate, whatever appropriation bill is
passed will be the work of the Dem
ocrats. That many departments
will be hewed down so far as finances
are concerned, and that a few de-
partments will be left out in the
cold, is the belief Of many connected
with the state administration.
The first intimation from the
Democrats since the election as to
what can be expected comes from
former Governor William A. Mac
Corkle, senator-elect from the Eighth
district. He declares for rigid
policy of economy, relentless prun-
ing of legislative expenses and a cut
ting of clerks wherever possible, but
indicates that he will favor building
up state institutions. He will favor
a modification of the tax and license
laws and says he stands for a decent
policy in redistricting the state.
In the first place. says Cover
nor MacCorkle, If the Democrats
ever have any hope of success in
this state they must pursue a rigid
policy of economy. We must prune
down relentlessly the expenses of
the Legislature. Useless cloak room
employees, useless clerks, horde of
pages and other attaches should be
cut out.
As to legislative appropriations,
they should be brought down to
an economical basis. Institutions
should not be crippled, but by the
very showing of the Board of Control
of this state Legislative appropria-
tions for the institutions have been
excessive.
This same policy should apply to
a number of Offices in the state.
There are number of useless Offices
under this state government; large
number of these Offices have exces-
sive salaries and these should be
pruned and brought down to what is
reasonable and right, and number
of the Offices should be absolutely
abolished.
4 believe a number of the tax
laws should be modified, and that
the amendment to the constitution
should be submitted and gotten out
of the way for good and all, and
modification of the state license laws,
based upon a, vote of the people in
the counties, which will place it out
of the control of corrupt county
court.
There should be fair and de-
cent policy of re-districting. The
present system is disgrace to the
state. 1t is unfair, and some of it.
In my opinion, if testSd would be de-
clared unconstitutional. i do not
think that any state in the Union
has such system of gerrymander-
ing as has been pursued by former
Republican legislatures.
So far as Governor MacCorkle
would redistrict the state and modi-
fy the tax and license laws the Re
publicans are not worried. With
tie in the Senate the Republicans
