JUDGES. H. BRIGHT DEAD AT HIS LOGAN
HOME.

Logan. Ohio, January I7.-Judge
S. II. Bright died this morning at
his home in Glenview Height, at
ESQ o'clock, from heart trouble.
He was one of the oldest prac-
titioners at the local bar, having
been in the harness for 10 years.
He was a veteran of the Civil War
and was a member of Company X,
Fifty-eight o. V. l., and was
Quarter-master Sergeant when the
Civil War closed.
He was appointed by Governor
Foraker to fill the vacancy on the

Wright. From 1869 to 1879 he was
Revenue Collector of this district by
appointment of President L. S.
Grant. He was member of the
Ohio Senate in 500 from the Eleven
th-Fourteenth Ohio District, but

HUBBARD AND DAWSON.

The Charleston Gazette, in the
following comment, suggests a new
and lively possibility in the Hubbard
Scott senatorial contest that is now
the most interesting feature of West
Virginia republican politics:
And if the Honorable Ike Mann
does decide to run for the senate in
the three-cornered race that his an
nouncement would make, do you
think that he would be in the race
with any intent to VIM Has not
the gallant Mann declared that he
would not run this race against
Scott. Would he not enter the race
to help the present Senator: And
then with Mann in the race to help
Scott would not the real fox ofthem
All, the AOdul Harlld OF the Little
Mountain State take hand in the
game and exert every influence to
help Hubbard: a clever little plan
to make Hubbard succeed Scott and
Dawson succeed EIkins may have
been one of the things that infunced
the foxy one from accepting the APP
pointment to China. There are many
ways fox can jump and there is
nothing wrong with the hopping
power or the jump director of Daw-
son.

AGAINST BLEAcHED FLOUR.

Washington, Jan. el.-tIt is just
to please the eye. No good can
come from making -four white de-
clares Chemist Wiley, oftbe Depart
ment of Agriculture. ''You cannot
find any great amount of bleached
-four going into Interstate commerce
now. 1 can tell the change by the
bread. Every time cut loaf of
bread l rejoice, because instead of
having the whiteness of a corpse it
has the beautiful delicate amber tint
that all bread ought to have. The
electricity was the agent which pro-
duced the bleaching material.
Several cases are pending against
millers now, and do not betray any
confidence of the millers when l say
that the fight on this case is made
chiefly by the men who are selling
the machinery. The millers them
selves would lot fight it for a mo-
ment, if it were left to them; but the
men who hre making this bleaching
machinery have been hurt. The
bankers of the United States were
always opposed to bleaching -four.
They knew the -four was injured by
the process.
This wheat -four case will be
fought by the best talent in this
country, and the most celebrated
lawyers. A fund of 500, 900, / I'M
derstand, has been raised to defeat
the Governments contentious. We
would not be surprised if that trial
would cost US $4,000 or $4,000.

BELLEDBUzzARD ESCAPES BUT RETURNS

The belled buzzard captured near
Union by Ocie Rains, found a loose
plank on his prison coop and last
Saturday, while nobody was looking
knocked it off and disappeared. On
Monday Mr.. Jas. Raines found the
big bird leisurely promenading on a
neighboring hill. 1t didn't seem to
take either fight or fright when he
approached, and he gradually
shooed" the feathered gentleman
down the hill toward the coop and at
last the buzzard stepped through the
open door as if he were glad to get
back home. He evidently relishes
his prison fare more than the empty
sweets of freedom.-The Monroe
Waterman.

SPLENDID INSTITUTION.

Huntington numbers within Ler
borders many institutions and places
of note worthy of special mention.
a particular instance is the Kessler
Hospital and sanItarium which was
built and founded by DR.. A. K. Kes-
sler several years ago along what was
then rather new and untried plan
of management. The prevalent idea
then was to have the old time rigid
rules Of hospital practice with all
their machine like precision in all
the several departments of hospital
work. DR. Kessler believes that if
an institution of this kind were con-
Quoted purely on the homeliKe plan
of making them feel comfortable
with congenial surroundings-that is
to make them feel like they really
were in the hands of their friends,
that recovery would be more rapid
and final results greater than to stick
to the beaten path of sameness.
Today this institution can boast of
a surgical and medical staff which Is
second to none in this section of the
country they can point with pride
to a long list of successful and diff
icult cures in the medical and sur
gical field; they have equipped them
selves with the most modern appara-
tus for the scientific treatment of
disease; own and supply their tables
from their own farm, dairy and poul-
try yard which insures the freshest
farm products raised and prepared in
the most wholesome and scientific
way.
Among the many places of note
none has contributed more to spread
ing the name and fame of Hunting
ton and Southern West Virginia than
the Kessler Hospital and Sanitarium.
Thorough methods and homelike
atmosphere have contributed largely
to their well deserved success in their
chosen field.
DR., Kessler and his associate ply
sicians are too well known to the
medical profession of the tri-state
territory to need any comment at our
hands.-Herald Dispatch.

A GREAT OPPORTUNITYFOR THE DEMO
CRATIC PARTY.

In cooperation with the Insur-
gent Republicans of the House of
Representatives in the fight against
Cannonism the Democratic members
of that body have pursued a wise
and commendable course. The In
surgent Republicans are fighting the
peoples battle against greed and
privilege and oppression. In their
revolt against tariff framed in the
interest of favored benefciares, in
their righteous war upon Cannonism,
they deserve and should receive the
hearty support of all Democrats. 1t
is the proud claim of the Democratic
party that it is essentially the cham
pion, of the people; that it stands
for the rights and interest of the
masses; that it is the uncompromis-
ing foe of the trusts and monOpolies
which plumber the people. This, al
SO, is the creed of the Insurgent Re-
publicans, and therefore they should
have the cordial and practical sup
port of every Democrat in the House
who sincerely desires to promote the
welfare of the people. cannonism is
in conflict with every principle of
Democracy and no Democrat who
aids in perpetuating it will be loyal
to the fundamental tenets of his
party.
The people realize now that Can
nonism is absolutely incompatible
with the advancement of their well
fare, that it is synonymous with
organized greed and rapacity. In
the popular revolt against Cannon
ism and in the divisions in the Re-
publican party caused by the Balling-
er-Pinchot feud the Democratic party
has great opportunity, and if this
opportunity is wisely improved, the
country may intrust the admins
tration of the Government to the
national Democracy. The West de-
mands relief from the burdens of OPP
pressive taxation. If It cannot obtain
this relief from the Republican party,
it must turn to the Democracy for
deliyerance. Every consideration OF
political wisdom requires that the
national Democracy shall begin now
TO prepare for the Presidential fight
in 1919. The representatives of the
Democratic party in Congress ought
to support only those policies and
measures which are plainly for the
good of the people. They should aid
in no way the enactment of legisla-
ton which will strengthen the hold
Of privileged interests upon the mass
Is. They should maintain hard
and-fast alliance with the Insurgents
Republicans in the war upon Cannon
ism and Aldrichism. They should
spare no effort and miss no oppor-
tunity to convince the people that
the Democratic party is the uncom-
promising enemy of greed and plumb
er, that is uncompromisingly in favor
of honest and economical govern
ment, that it is the implacable foe
Of monopoly and of legislation for
favored interests.-Baltimore Sun.
