In This Case, ChiId's Punishment Ger
tainly Failed to Have SaIu-
tary Effect.

A little girl had been so very
naughty that her mother found II
necessary to shut her up in a dark
closet--in that family the direst

into the darkness. She could see
nothing.

And then a little voice piped from
the blackness:

mighty good feeling is existing these

encouraging reports from every sec
ton of the state, received in every
mail, This is the first time in the
history OF the party. we believe,
when the committee has established
headquarters during an "off year"
that is, other than during a presl-
dental year, but the wisdom of the
committee in opening headquarters
here in Charleston this year, when
the Democracy is making greater
effort than ever before to regain lost
prestige and power, is denied by no
one, and that the committee has been
rendering the most valuable aid
ever since the campaign opened is
obvious RON the great humber OF
communications coming to head
quarters from the, newspapers and
Republican, Leaders and committee
men IL all sections. of the state, The
committee has. had compiled and has
circulated in every countysand dis
trict in West Virginia newspaper
articles setting, forth the work, of
Republican administrations since the
state passed from under control Of
the Democracy. These ARTICLES have
