The people Of this State are en-

smooth tongued stock statesmen, who
nave been peddling stock Of differ

misrepresenting the true state Of
affairs Of the get-rich-quick method,
and by so doing they are misleading
some of the citizens of West Virginia
by selling their stock which in most
cases we believe, rill prove unsatis-
factory, to say the least, when they
learn the true conditions existing
relative to the concerns.
Especially has this been true as
regards the sale of stock of new life
insurance companies and kindred
concerns. If q company is being Sc
r1ously promoted on the square and
only a reasonable expense allowed
for organization, it will not object to
furnishing facts to the proper Off
Ger. in order that the public may
know all the facts regarding 1t. If
the public were informed as to the
cost of promotion, the commission
paid stock statesmen and the amount
retained by the promoters on the part
OF some Of the institutions now at
tempting to separate man from his
money, there would be precious lit
tie stock sold.
The public should know the whole
truth. | will endeavor to bave O. bill

1t is safe to say that in practice
one is Negro or is classed with
that race If he has the least visible
trace of Negro blood or If it was
known that there was Negro blood
in any one OF his progenitors. . Mis-
cegenation has never been allowed
to be a bridge upon which one might
cross from a Negro race to the
Caucasian. though it has been al
lowed as thoroughfare from the
Caucasian to the Negro. The Judges
and fesis4atefs-~hape- said-that-
drop of Negro blood makes q man a
Negro; but to be Caucasian one
must be all Caucasian. This shows
very clearly that they have not con-
sidered Negro blood on par with
Caucasian. Else the race utilization
would be determined by the predom-
nance Of blood. If one had more
Negro blood than white, he would
be considered a Negro; if more white
blood than Negro. a Caucasian,

fairs, control In the House will pass
from the men who are now. and have
long been, the guiding force there to men
of shorter public service and newer gen
eral connections. He looks for what
may be called a new deal in the repub-
lican organization.
Here is a suggestion worthy of atten-
ton. We have all heard enough and
to spare about the tyranny of the House
processes, when, as we all know. they
are in the main well approved. and have
been used by the democrats as we'll as
by the republicans. Equally tiresome
and insincere, too. have been the bitter
as everybody knows, is a man of the
highest character.
But is the time approaching when
new men will be demanded? Has the
old leadership served its full purpose
As Is to be easily understood. the re-
tirement of Mr.. Cannon from the speak
ership will mean the recasting in part,
and maybe very considerably, OF the
leading committees of the House. A new
Speaker will mean new lieutenants. The
old order will give place to new all
along the line.
1t 10 very interesting problem, and
now that Mr.. Diekema has invited at
tention to it in it's larger aspects-rising
above the cackle about Cannonism, and
the charge that the House has ceased
to be a deliberative body-we should see
the discussion take higher and an ade-
quate range. The Star last week asked
for nominations both from the regulars
and the insurgents if Mr.. Cannon was
to go on the shelf. Mr.. Diekemas an
nouncement does not close the appeal.
What other republican or republicans
would like to preside over the del1Dera-
tons of the Sixty second House?
There are suggestions of this man and
that for the race. and Of course there
are a number of republicans who measure
up to the office, but so far Mr.. Diekema's
is the only announcement.
The list is open, even to Mr.. Cannon.
The gentleman from Danville does nct
agree with those who think they see
his finish. and has no thought OF quit
ting public life at their vociferous sug-
gestion. Nearly two years must elapse
before the next House organizes and ten
months before it is chosen. If it is re-
publican, all republican members will be
free to enter the speakership contest.

A Democratic House.

Mr.. Clark renewS the recent prediction
he made In the west that the next House
will be democratic, and story follows
that there are prominent republicans, not
willing to be quoted by name, who agree
with him. 1t is all along of the row
which began at the special session over
the tariff. and is intensified and broad
ened now by the warfare on Secretary
Ballinger. The old adage Is cited, that
a house divided against itself cannot
stand; and the democrats assert that not
only is the republican House divided, but
is beyond the hope of reunion.
What. then. of the future? If the Sixty
second House is democratic. what will it
do? We shall see Mr.. Clark. a silver
man and tariff-for-revenue-o nlyist in
the chair. and Mr.. Underwood. of the
same school of politics. chairman OF
ways and means and the leader on the
floor. They are veteran legislators with
records, and. SO placed. will be expected
to make capital for their party for the
presidential contest. The next House
should adjourn on the eve of the presi-
Dental nominations for 1912.
Even democratic landslide would leave
the Senate republican. No possible revo-
luton at the polls next November could
dislodge the republicans from that
stronghold. They would still be masters
of the situation there.
To the suggestion that such an express
sion of the voters to the House would
nave an effect on the Senate. and that
the insurgent strength there would prob
ably be increased to the point of giving
the insurgents and the democrats con-
troll as against the republican regulars,
IT is to be replied that such a combina-
ton would not be likely on the eve of
presidential race when the effect of it
would inure to the benefit of the demo-
cratic candidate. Insurging against the
mead of the party at such a time would
be insurging indeed, and few, if any,
men asking consideration. as republicans
would be capable of it.
But republican Senate would be no
excuse for an inactive democratic House,
The latter would be obliged to prepare a
program and send it to the Senate even
on the certainty of rejection. Now what
would that program contain? What sort
of tariff bill? What sort of a cur
rency bill? The currency question will
hardly be ripe before then? And what
changes as to trusts. and railroads, and
conservation of natural resources as
Stunning that this Congress, on the recon-
mendations of the President, legislates
on all three issues?
Striking the keynote for presidential
contest Is an act Of great responsibility,
and that duty always devolves on the
party which controls the House the year
the contest takes place. So that demo-
cratic victory next fall will. If achieved
test as never before the leadership of
Mr.. Clark and his lieutenants.
