MR.. srRIcKLlNo's PROPHECY

The last speaker OF the House of
Delegates OF West Virginia a staunch
republican, who has received many
honors at the hands of his party. has
D emily declared that the next legisla.
ture of the state will be democratic
on joint ballot. Mr. 'Strlckling has
shown a great regard for honesty OF
expression and in the near future he
Will nave the reputation OF being at
least as close an imitation to proph-
ct with honor in his own country as
is consistent with biblical statement.
The gentle man from Cabell county
can read the answer in the stars. He
can see how the rule OF extravaganza
in West Virginia must come to an
end; he can fully appreciate the fact
that the people OF West Virginia are
not going TO sit supinely down and
forever suffer the injustices OF the
Dawson tax laws; he can clearly see
that the protest against Cannonism
standpatism, Aldrishism, Guggen.
heimism and regularity. which has
been ignored by the republican party
in West Virginia, is not going to con.
tinue to be merely a protest. but is
going to become a potent force to
drive from Office the men who have
made the present uncomfortable stu.
alton possible. Mr.. Strickling sees
the fate OF his party and he is too
honest a man to announce as his be-
lief. something which he cannot be.

Mr.. Strickling sees clearly that the
tremendous movement that is sweep.
ing the country over, turning rock
ribbed republican strongholds into the
ranks Of the democracy, is bound Ia
be felt, and felt terrihcally. here in
this state for there is no state I'm
the union whose leaders are so close

have caused the revulsion Of feeling
that is driving the friends OF tho
plutocrats and gigantic. unfair and

REPUBLICAN ACHIEVEMENTS

At the Republican pow WOW held
few days ago at White Sulphur
when Governor Glasscock was made
the titular head of the party in West
Virginia, he released n cutand-dried
address which become historic with
the following Introductory sentence:
The history of the Republican par,
ty is a record of achievements, Of the
solution of perplexing problems, Of
legislation and execution OF laws re-
hecting public sentiment for the
public good"
It's hardly necessary to further fol-
low the document. This one SEN
tencc settles it. A man will have to
be a mighty big fool on natural
born idiot to take any stock in 1t, un-
less he is blinded by political preju-
dice. The Republican party is in
deed party OF achievements. 1t has
achieved what no other party in the
worlds history has. 1t has given one
of the greatest nations on earth one
of the rottenest governments OF
record. 1t has achieved this beyond
any remote question OF doubt. Ii
has oppressed the poor and built up a
money oligarchy practically impreg-
nagable. The rich continue to fatten
while those whom we have always
with us only manage to exist. Any
student of political economy will tell
you that the United States is years
and years behind England and most
of the countries OF continental Europe
in the matter Of legislation benefiting
the masses. 1t may sound unpatriotic
to say these things, but they are
grave and serious facts-conditions
for which the Republican party is
directly responsible.
The "perplexing problems" solved
to judge according to the perplexing
situations past and present are nil
much so. Our ears are wide to catch
a Few which any good Republican
brother may mention. And the leg
islation and execution OF laws reflect.
in public sentiment and for the pub
lie good" flow into the same classic.
cation as logical corollary
Coming home TO Mercer county. not
to mention the state, this parry of
achievements" has achieved" many
things. 1t took the county dozen
and better years ago out of debt and
with snug little balance in the
treasury, and today the taxes are CD.
pressivc almost to the point OF pro
hibition and heavy debt hangs over
the county with but little to show
for it.
Achievements indeed!

The advent OF the United States wir

commanded by Admiral Uriel Sebrca.
on Monday, January Slst. was the oc-
caslon Of giving great JOY to the peo-
pie here, who hail the return of the.e
warsbips with enthusiasm and whose
devotion to the United States navy
is never so apparent as when an or
portunlty presents itself to honor tho
officers with all the attention that can
be accorded them. Honolulu set the
social machinery In motion Tuesday
night and It will not stop as long ns
the feet remains. II every ball to be
given Is as successful as the one at
the Moana Hotel they cannot fail TO
be source of satisfaction. The bean
tiful hotels-on the beach or In the
town-are ideal places to hold So
cial function OF any description, but
dance is better appreciated and en-
ioyed when held in one OF the large
up-todate ball rooms. such as Homo
lulu's hotels can. be justly proud OF.
The enhancing dance music-only 10
be heard on these shores-is another
link In the chain OF this irresistible
exhilarating pastlme which such mu-
sic makes possibility. The lovely
setting and decorations are almost
dream OF beauty and pleases the eye
OF the beholder. and is a never forget
table pleasure to witness.

anese poachers In custody. and an al

slaughter of the beautiful songsters
bids fair to be stopped-at least In
Uncle Sans territory. With the aid
of such an efficient commander a.
Captain W. v. f. Jacobs and his alert
officers these depredations will soon
be suppressed. and let MS hope that q
good example will follow, other lands

be spared. even II the demands of
