| According to a news dispatch Mr..
kclark has grown remarkably re-
lticent. The time was when Mr..
Clark would deliver an interview on
street corner at moments notice,
giving his view with great freedom
and in picturesqe language on any
topic under the sun. Now, however,
when an anxious horde OF some $50
Democrats elected to the next
House OF Representatives stands
eager to learn his views on the tar
ID and the composition of the next
committees, Mr.. Clark assumes a
faraway look and declares that all
these matters are yet in the future.
He declares that he never committed
himself on the subject of the APP
Ipointment of committee on COM
mittees, which will take away from
the speaker the selection of all the
committees and which will in effect,
follow the Senate plan of permitting
each OF the two parties to make up
their respective portions of the COM
mittees. AS for the tariff, he says
he has no authority to speak for the
Democratic party, Mr.. Clark has
promptly forgotten his frequent
declarations on the floor of the
House That 81 he could he would
rae every custom house in the coun-
try, and now finds that he fayors a
revenue tariff. But further than
that he will not commit himself.
Gradually, but surely it will begin
to dawn upon the people that The
Democrats are not going to make,
good all their glittering campaign
promises. When they begin actively
to reconstruct things according to
their prediction palaNer the truth
will out: 1t will be found that they
are only human and not demi-gods.
But. all things in their time. In the.
words of our dear old friend, Uncle.

A Democratic View.

The Moundsville Echo, Democ-
cratic, delivers itself thus on tho
senatorial situation:
The Echo's opinion of the candi-
dacy of Mr.. Watson for the United
States Senate is that 1t will strike
the rank and file as simply taking
out Of the chair one man whose chief
talent lies in accumulating and
spending money, branded 'Republi-
can, and replacing him with another
in whom the same characteristics
predominant but labeled Democrat.
1T would not lessen the usage OF
the term 'Millionaires' Club when
speaking of the United States SEN
ate.
IF tho matter of choosing a sue
cessor to Senator Scott were submit
ted to a direct vote of the people.
the Echo has no doubt but that Mar
shall county would give a decisive
plurality in favor of John w. Davis
because of his pre-eminent fitness
for the Office over every other man
in West Virginia.
Second in choice would be John

The Telegram has frequently SYM
pathized with the women over the
fortitude they are forced to bear at
frequent intervals In trying to con-
form to the various and freakish
changes OF fashion in their gar
ments, but that sympathy turns cold
when such an item is read in the
news dispatches that one of the best
gowned women at the New York
horse show rolled hundred times.
morning and night, on the floor to
reduce her weight" The effort to
reduce her weight is not taken to be
so reprehensible in itself until it is
read that the woman did this solely
for the purpose of conforming her
figure to new, and one may quite
properly say hideous style of dress.
Sympathy, indeed!
Yes, the thin woman is all the
rage" in the eastern fashion marts
now and there is absolutely no hope
for the fat woman. Fat and thin,
may, of course, be taken as mere
matter of comparison. But why in
the name of common sense should
any one want woman whose figure
is reasonably we'll proporttoned to
make herself thin? Why should
Dame Fashion demand sort of
asceticism in this respect? The
Telegram gives It up. The question
Us too deep and fraught with too
many incomprehensible perple1ities
for any attempt at helpful comment.
Here is the ediet: No well dressed
woman at the horse show is fat. The
1910 figure is slight, considerably
reduced from the proportions OF
1909. 1t is not the clothes that
count this year. And it is not the
horse at the horse show. 1t is a
display OF self-denia1 and hard work,
which has its visible apotheosis in
the horse show woman's figure
Women there are more anxious TO
know how she" got thin than what
she is wearing. II the woman is
thin she is in the SWIM" but thin
she must be, by all means. II she is
thin she can then wear anything
from the Polar bear rug to the bed
room curtains or the draperies in
the Turkish corner.
1t is high time for sensible women
to revolt at this modern barbarism.
Back in the darker ages people were
tortured on the rack and subjected
to other horrors OF the inquisitsoa
for the sake of truth and in the
name of religion and other things.
But, that is only history. Now, in
this day of alleged enlightenment
and advanced civilization women are
still put to torture for the sake of
fashion. And some of these very
women have the unmtttgated nerve
to declare that they ought to be al
lowed to vote! A society for the
suppression OF cruelty among women
seems to be in order.

Clark Falls Down

nation are beginning to pail the
Democrats. They are awakening to
"a realization that 1t is much easier

than It is to run it. Even the mil

his high horse and solemnly AYERS
that he never promised to ride down

CHANGE or ApDREss-wben
Another Evidence.

Another evidence that the DEM
ocratic party through It's leaders and
press of West Virginia is under the
absolute control of the special In
terests is the stand taken by the
Wheeling Register against the crea-
ton of railroad commission in
West Virginia, a commission de-
manded by nearly every shipper and
travelling man. who knows the adj
yantages of such commission.
The Register does not have the
courage to show its hand exactly in
the following but it is quite plain
to see that its intent is to take the
side of the special interests rather
than that of the people.
Much proposed legislation affect
ing corporations may be praise
worthy, but much of it is also ur-
necessary and unjust. Nothing is to
be gained by treating public service
corporations unfairly, or by enacting
laws which merely harrass and en-
barrass them, without benefting the
people. There has. already been
complaint of too much law making
of this character, which has made
capital ttmid, retarded the develop
ment of the state, and resulted in
no real good. Too many whimsical
laws are proposed, and too many
freak acts are written into the stat
utes. The uncertainty as to wha;
the legislature will do has a ten
dency to disturb business conditions.
Legislators should resolve every
doubt they entertain as to the value
of proposed law, into argument
against the enactment of the law.
The principal argument for a pus-
lie service commission appears to
rest upon the necessity for regu-
latlng railway traffic in this state.
Legislators should consider the fact
that the national government has
that matter well in hand. They
should remember that if 1t is pro-
posed to place any additional bur
dens upon the corporations the peo-
pie will suffer as the corporations
will inevitably increase their
charges. They should consider also
the fact that it will be impossible to
secure the service of such men as
the State Board OF Trade suggests
as members of the commission, with
out paying them salaries of from
$4,000 to $4,000 year, which
with their travelling and other ex-
penses would materially add to the
cost of state government. Do we
want more state offices? Are they
necessary. Are We not getting along
very well with our public service
corporations under existing laws?
viii the interests of taxpayers be in
any way benefited by the creation of
an expensive public service commits
sion?

The Disappearing Light.

The other day in Baltimore there
was a convention of physicians at
which many plans for the betterment
of the race were discussed. The
one thing which should be most in
teresting to the general public is the
fact that during the sessions of the
convention some member OF some
committee had arranged little red
electric bulb which frightened up
and went out every ten seconds. No
matter how. serious might be the
matter under discussion that little
lamp went out every ten seconds as
regularly as clock work.
The most gruesome feature about
the little red lamp is the significance
of the regularity with which the
light went out. Every time that
light went out it signified the pass
ing into the Great Beyond of child.
statisticians have figured out that a
child dies every ten seconds and
great practitioners and scientists are
trying to find out why it is that we
are so helpless in saving the lives OF
the children, whose vitality should
he more lasting.
When President Taft sent his first
message to Congress he urged that
body to provide for a Bureau OF
Health" He did not say much
about it, but judging from a speech
by learned doctor delivered in Gin
cinnati short time after President
Taft was elected. in which the doctor
said he spoke on the authority of
the President, Mr.. Taft is going to
urge that the bureau of health be
established. Commenting upon the
subject, the Bluefield Telegraph
says:
and 1t is right that it should be.
The government spends millions of
dollars for locating mountains and
valleys, as well as protecting the
many things which come under the
head of the interior and agricultural
departments. Thousands are an
nually spent in protecting the forests
and for conservation OF natural re-
sources. but as yet the government
has established no department Of
health, which should have for its
object the preservation of the lives
and health o. our people. If this
department did no more in a hun
dred years than to discover how tu-
berculosis could be prevented or
cured, it would have done worthy
work in which the nation could take
a Just pride. Not only in the life OF
the human is tuberculosis costly; it
also affects many of the animal king
dom on which the people live. and
Its presence in these animals has
many times, perhaps, brought tu'ber-
culosls upon mankind"

Two Jokes.

The Blueiield Telegraph refers tc
two well known incidents, one prior
to and, one following he election as
two jokes of the campaign:
"The election turns up two Jokes.
One of them is John Scott Wlthers
who Withdrew as the Democratic
candidate for Congress in the Fourth
district, and whose committee named
successor. Hamilton, was elected.
The other is the contest taking place
in the Charleston Gazette in which
Wiley is trying to get a seat in Con-
gress that he wasn't elected to. The
returns from Mingo and Mcdowell
are all right and the proposed CON
test would never have been thought
of " there had not been a Demo-
cratic majority in the House OF
Representatives, and Wiley bases his
charge on that fact and not the
holding back of returns in the
counties named"

Mr.. Bonaparte.

In Buffalo Mr.. Charles j. Bona
parte delivered an address on the
evils of the spoils system. ITO the
victors belong the spoils" he de-
clared doctrine monstrous to the
verge OF blasphemy. The worth OF
American democracy will be gagged
in the irrevocable judgment of his
tory by true answer to the ques-
ton 10 what manner of men does it
intrust political power?'" THE
one thing essential 10. good govern
ment is good men to govern" And
SO on.
Year after year Mr.. Bonaparte has
gone through the country making
this same appeal. says the Baltimore
Evening Sun. It has grown little
commonplace and a little mononto-
nous to some of us. and we arc
apt to shrug our shoulders when we
read the headlines again and again
Doesn't he ever get tired?" We
ask.
Mr.. Bonaparte doesn't get tired
He doesn't even get sensitive at oul
ill-natured criticism. He said the
other day that men in public life
could not afford to be thin-skinned
and he hasn't been. Despite criti
cism, despite abuse, he goes OF
preaching the gospel of pure poll
tics.
And we smaller men in Baltimor,
here are at last coming to realiz,
that there is something fine in thi
whole-hearted devotion to a cause
in this relentless falthfulness to al
ideal. Mr.. Bonaparte has tough
side by side with many other valian
warriors in the course of his polit
ical life-with Wallis and Cover
and Roosevelt and others. Some o
them died in the faith, some of then
lost courage, some OF them wandered
on to worship other gods, but Mr.

Bonaparte goes on, the same today
as he was in the seventies, granting
no compromise and asking none
making no concessions for popular

past.
