THE TELEPHONE.

How rapidly the use of telephones
has increased may be noted from the
fact that in 1900 there were in New
York city, $4,000 while last year the
number had increased to $50, 272.
Chicago comes next to New York
in the number of telephones used,
with 1863, 1874 Boston follows with 100,
500, and then comes Philadelphia,
with 9S, S45; San Francisco, with rs,
5SS; and New Orleans, with Is, AS.
According to a report made January
l, 1909, in ninety-four cities of the
United States With population of
over $4,000 each there were $50,
500 telephones in use, an average of
one to every eight inhabitants.
There is estimated to be approx
mately 9,5o6,OOO telephones in the
world. of which 1000, 900 are in the
United States, 1000, 900 in Europe,
and 100000 in other parts OF the
world. Cities on the United States are
vastly better equipped with them
than those of any other nation.
1t is not alone the cities that are
being covered with network of tele-
phone wires, however. The telephone
has been steadily adopted in the ru-
raj sections of the country, and there
are today thousands of them in use
through farming sections.

Readers Cannot Deny.

What could furnish stronger evil
dence of the efficiency of any remedy
than the test of timer Thousands of
people testify that Doan's Kidney
Pills cure permanently.

undoubtedly the merit of this remedy.
Years ago your friends and neighbors
testified to the Keller they had deriv-
ed from the use of Doan's Kidney
Pills. They now confirm their testi-
monials. They say time has COM
pleted the test.
Mrs. W. S. Tully, rear of Spencer
Hotel, Point Pleasant, W. Va, says ;
! have used Doan's Kidney Pills at
different times for years and from my
experience, l have no hesitation in
saying that they act just as repre-
sented. In March 1908, gave a
public statement recommending
Doan's Kidney Pills, after they had
relieved me of a very annoying at
tack of kidney complaint. l had let
my health run down and my kidneys
may become so badly disordered that

FAVORS AMENDMENT OF PISTOL LAW.

Governor W. E. Glasscock is ofthe
belief that the pistol toting law
should be amended so as to exempt
from its provisions, bonded officers,
such as constables, justices of the
peace, sheriHs, etc. The opinion OF
the Governor is made public in let
ter which he has written to William
B. Hixenbaugh, a justice ofthe peace
of Ohio county.
The Ohio county justice of the
peace wrote the Governor relative to
the provision of the law requiring
bonded officers to give further bond
and stated that his constabIes had
been held up in ridicule in efectinC
arrests. In his reply Governor Glass
cock stated that he believed the law
should be amended in that particular,
but believed that such an amendment
could be made at the regular session
of the legislature.

GEORGE WASHINGTON.

With the advent of Washington S
birthday yesterday the public atten-
ton busies itself to degree with a
retrospection of his life history, and
to those incidents which have had an
important bearing on the formation
of the government and history of the
American nation.
The foundation of the present form
of government of the United States
was laid by Washington, or under his
wise guidance, and so unerringly did
he build that the structure rearing
from its base has stood firm against
the storms and stress of intervening
years, and the policies which he in
his wise foresight of future contin-
gencies adopted, have been adhered
to the perpetuation of the nation s
welfare and prosperity.
Washington's greatness had as its
aim to the welfare of his countrymen.
A review of his life history fails to
reveal one instance where motives
for personal aggrandizment outweigh
ed his love for the people over whom
he ruled. Therein lies his claim to
the homage which the succeeding
generations pay to his memory. Had
he placed selfish considerations above
his sense of duty to those who had
thrice offered him the crown" the
causeof Liberty, for which he and
his countrymen had fought and sufF-
cred, would have received irreparahle
injury; for the founding ola dynasty
would ultimately have led to the
usurpation of power on the one hand,
and the OPPRESSION of the people on the
other.
In refusing the crown Washington
exempifed the highest form of un-
selfshness, for few there were, and
few there are so imbued with that
unselfsh love for humanity and the
right that they could have withstood
the tempting offer of place and pow

Another phase of washineton's
greatness took form in his remarka-
bic foresight. With power to
divine the trend of future events, he
saw the disastrous effects to the peo-
pie which could follow the establish
ment of dynasty.
The love which existed. between
Washington and the seople who had
adopted him as their ruler was per-
feet in every respect. The people,
with simple and confding faith in
his life, his wisdom, and his justice,
wished to bestow upon him and his
posterity the greatest honor within
their power. Washington, on the 9TH
er hand knowing thedangers to which
such course would subject his people
refused to purchase the honor at the
price of the ultimate freedom of his
people.
Washington did, tits true, estab-
lish a dynasty, with the whole of the
American family as his heirs, and to
each he left an heritage of liberty,
and freedom from thesbnckles of des-
potic oppression.

BODY MAY Be IN THE OHIO RIVER.

Joe Berbalter, superintendent of
construction on the government dyke
at dam No. 10, at Browns Island, is
believed to be drowned. Berhaltcr
left his home in Wellsburg last Mon
day, and no alarm was felt until
Wednesday, when members of the
family instituted an investigation.
1t was ascertained that Berhalter had
gone up to the island on a traction
car and had hailed the caretaker to
ferry him across, but the latter had
an injured foot and could not COM
ply. Berhalter replied that it was
all right, he could walk across the
dyke wall. This was the last seen
or heard of the man.
Berhalter was about rs years of
age, and was well know on the river.
He came to Wellsburg several years
ago from Point Pleasant, where he
helped to construct Lock No. IL on
the Kanawha. He was a member of

MR. TAF'S DEFENSE.


The New York Times, an indie
pendent Republican newspaper,
severely criticizes President Taft's
speech of last Saturday night, de-
claring that his attempt to justify
the course of the administration was
a failure so disastrous that he
visibly added to the causes of pre-
sent dissatisfaction He seems
to be blind to the truth, as the
Times points it out, that the issue
upon which his administration has
been adjudged failure is one of
common morality. The people can
not be misled into belief that the
tariff pledge of Mr.. Taft's party has
been kept. The party appealed for
votes on the promise that the
Dingley tariff would be revised
downward, and Mr.. Taft as a can
didate, pledged his personal faith
that the promise would be kept.
Mr.. Taft and his party have de-
ceiyed the people, and the Times de-
clares that it viii avail the President
nothing to repeat his feeble de-
tense ofthat dishonorable deception, :"
since fifteen million voters cannot
be lied to and not find it out The
Times says Mr.. Taft did not con-
sciously deceive the people when he
gave the pledge of downward re-
vision: but when be asserted that
the Payne-Aldrich tariff is the
best customs lAw that has ever been
passed." the country learned with
deep regret and concern that it
must revise its judgment of the
character and moral fibre of its
President. 4"
This is biting criticism from a party
newspaper, and one which has here
tofore supported Mr.. Taft, yet the
Times goes even farther and asserts
that the broken pledges and bad
faith of the administration will prob
ably result in the loss in next falls
elections of the party majority in the
house of representatives How
different today it says, would
have been Mr.. Taft's standing before
the people if with the courage of a
man he had vetoed the bill and de-
nounced the treachery that shaped
itw
The Times also ridicules Mr.: Taft's
insinuation that unfavorable news
paper opinion of the tariff is due to
the retention of the duty on white
paper. 1t refers to the 5000 printed
pages of testimony secured by the
committee of which Mr.. Mann, Re-
publican, was chairman, upon which
a recommendation for real and
honest downward revision of the paper
and pulp schedule was based: and to
the fact that congress ignored this
evidence and made a trihing reduc-
ton. Notwithstanding this favorit-
ism toward the print paper trust, the
Times asserts its belief that not
single newspaper of any standing or
influence was affected in its judgment
of the new tariff by the rejection of
the Mann recommendations. But
it probably comforts the President, f"
the times continues, to put cOnjec-
tural instead OF real motives for con-
demniug law born in such dis
honor"
