W. Dorsey Brown, the federal depu.
ty marshall still wears his official
crown and was here last week on Off
.cial business. His official presence in
this city is bitter medicine to some
people. Personally we have never
had any business with the gentleman
hence we have nc personal quarrel
with him but we are unable to see how
he can be retained in office if Commits
sioner Lemen deserved dismissal. We
are unable to see how Lemep could be
guilty of malfeasance in Office and
Brown innocent. Well, there is moth
Ing like political pull.

In casting about for candidate for
mayor this spring the democrats
should not lose sight Of Captain Will
liam b. Celston. Captain Colston is as
well fitted for the position as any man
in the city. He is in every way qualifi-
ed. In fact we have not had mayor
for years who filed the bill better than
he 10 fitted to I'll it. There could be
no better nomination made than this
and the democrats will have no cause
to regret it if he should be nominated
for the place.

The democrats of Maryland have
IN ade another move towards the ell
enination of the negro In politics in
that state. They seem to have struck q
plan which has never been thought of
with ali the thought by many of the
best thinkers Of the south land. The
idea is that the federal constitution
has nothing to do with the state, coun
ty and city elections and from these
elections begro can be barred because
he is negro. OF course in congressien-
al elections the federal constitution
will control and then the negro can
vote as in other states.

There has been wondrous things do
ing in the way Of exposing graft on
the part Of political machines and in
dividuals. The wholesale exposure in
Pittsburg and Albany Of retten ma
chine politics, bribery, purgery and
graft Of all kinds and degrees has Jap
palled the people of the whole country.
The old republican mae hines have
been in the saddle SO long that they
have become so rotten they are
falling to pieces of their own weight.
Corruption is especially rampant in
state legislatures and West Virginia
seems to be in the front ranks of the
army of graft and greed. The people
are beginning to get awake to the true
nature of affairs and If we mistake not
there will be some investigating and
exposures at Charleston when the
next legislature meets. Things have
become SO bad, judging from reports,
that there will be decided Increase of
democratic represen tation In the legis-
lature, a sufficient number at least to
force thorough Investigation of the
affairs of the state.
The democrats should use every eff
fort to nominate good, faithful, able
and true men this year for this 10 to be
a democratic year and we should have
our best men in Office to make a good
record and TO expose the rotten meth
DDS of the republican machine. There
liz an ocean of corruption in Charles.
ten and if the dem ocrats can find a
man to takeIof the lid and let the
stencil out to the noses of the people
there will be weeping and bowling
among the faithful who have been
seated at the pie counter for these
many years. The corruption is there,
everybody knows its there and the
people are crying out, "who will go
for u.s." We hope the man may com
to thel front aud we believe he will
before the campaign sets in.

The poor republican party is In des-
perate straits. The faithful are de
sorting the old raft like RATS from q
burning skip. From every quarter
Of the couhtry comes the news OF re-
publican defeat and reputation. Every
little town election through the coun-
try, even where the Democrats have
never been known TO win victory,
comes the news of republican disaster
and decentralization. Even the faithful
Of the Hoosier state are in open revolt
and repudiate the living, vital issue,
the Payne Aldrich tariff monsteresity.
Soon there will be none so poor as to
do the old outrage reverence. The &C.
ton Of the republicans Of Indiana is
more than straw showing the way
the wind lie blowing. 1t has come
like an avalanche to the standpatters
and clearly indicsfes that there is no
hope for the republicans carrying the
House Of Representative the coming
fall elections.
President Tatt's declarations during
his campaign that the tariff wsuld
be revised downward gave him a
standing before the people which he
has destroyed by bissurrender to Can
non and Aldrish in submitting to their
msnipulatisns Of the tariff legislation
and then declaring 1t to be the best
tsrif bill ever passed by the congress.
He had given his support and the
powerful weight Of his administration
to bolster up the robber tariff law and
now must bear the responsibility of
the outrage along with Cannon,
Payne, Aldrich and Lodge.
Martinsburg statesman-democrat. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1906-1921, 1910-04-08

The republicans of Indiana decided
to ignore the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill
IN their state platform rather than face
an indignant public. The tariff law
MI Taft a few weeks ago declar-
ed was the best tariff law that was
ever enacted and now the party lead
ers in the state adjoining his home
state fearful of the consequences have
refused lo endorse it and thus 10y their
silence have mphatlcally repudiate d
the "best tariff law ever enacted" and
which has the endorsement of the
President ana the leaders of the party
both ia and out Of congress, at least
large majority of them. If this keeps
up where will the g. Q. p. appear by
the time another presidential election
Eslls around?

The democratic ticket nominated on
Wednesday night last for the city

offered to the people Of the town. 1t

Consider This Advice.

COnSIder This ADVICE.
No woman should submit to surgi-
cal operation, which may mean death,
until she has given Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, made exclusive
ly from roots and herbs, a fair trial.
This famous medicine for women
has for thirty years proved, to be the
most valuable tonic and invigorator of
the female organism. Women resid-
ing in almost every city and town in
the United States bear willing testi-
mony to the wonderful virtue of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
1t cures female ills, and creates radi-
ant, buoyant female health. If you
are i'll, for your own sake as well as
those you love, give it trial.
Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass,
invites all sick women to write
her for advice. Her advice is free,
and always helpful.

TWain's Introduction.

In introducing the late Gen. Joseph
Hawley of Hartford, Conn, to an Ell
mira audience, Mark Twain said:
"Gen. Hawley is a member Of my
church i'm Hartford, and the author of
Beautiful Snow. Maybe he will deny
that; but I am here only to give him a
character from his last place. AS a
pure citizen respect him; as a per-
sonal friend of years, have the warm
est regard for him; as neighbor
whose garden adjoins mine, why-why,
watch him. AS the author of Beau
tiful Snow he added new pang to
Winter. He is square, true man in
honest politics, and must say that he
occupies mighty lOl esOme position.
So broad, so bountiful is his char acter
that he never TUNED tramp empty
handed from the door, but always gave
him letter of introduction to me.
Pure, honest, ,incorruptible-th that's Joe
Hawley. Such man in politics is like
bottle of perfumery in a glue factory
it may moderate the evil odor, but it
cant eliminate it. In conclusion let me
say that haven't said any more of him
than would of myself. Ladies and
Gentlemen, this is Gen. Hawleyl"

Outrageous Newspaper Errors.

outrageous newspaper Errors.
It is held to be an inexcusable outrage
for newspaper editor to make the
slightest mistake in statement of any
sort, while professional persons, upon
whose certainty of knowledge and on
whose statement in reyard thereto, life
and death or the most important in
terests depend, make the most serious
errors without incurring the slightest
criticism, much less blame.
Take the Judge on the bench, whose
decisions are set aside and annulled by
higher courts almost every day, and
the Judge whose ejudgmentisso so revised
does not suffer in the least in public
and professional estimation.
In the same way the physician who
makes wrong diagnosis of his pa
TENTS disease administers treatment
that results in death instead of q
cure, loses none of the confidence of
his patrons in his skill, and he may
kill any numLer of persons secundum
artem without incurring the slightest
possibility.
These are curious facts, but they are
facts, and they are mentioned, not by
way of excusing editorial mistakes.
for there is no excuse for them. 1t is
because every individual firmly te-
lleves that he could conduct u news
paper better than those who are charg-
ed with the work, while no unprofes-
sional person would undertake e to usurp
functions of theJudge or the physician.

Teachings of Nature.

But, someone asks, how can you ever
expect boy to graduate from college
or university if his education does not
begin until he is ten years of age? He
will be far too old.
First, answer, the curse of modern
child-life in America is Over-educa-
tion. For the first ten years of this,
the most sensitive and delicate. the
most pliable life in the world, would
prepare it. The properly prepared
child will make such progress that the
difference in time Of graduation is not
likely to be noticeable; but, even. if it
should be year or two later, what
real difference would it make? Do we
expect q normal plant to begin bearing
fruit q few weeks after it is born? 1t
must have time. ample time. to be pre-.
