With the rendition Of "The Sweet
Girl Graduates" at Clyffeside park
last Friday evening another sue
cessful year of the Ceredo- Kenova
schools passed into history. Five
of our young people we're given
credentials which will entitle them
to euter most any college in the
land, aud at the same time being
proof that they are fitted TO fight
life's battles.
In presenting the diplomas Rev.
>. b. Waller paid a very high COM
pliment to our high school, as well
as the graduates. While he spoke
OF the present high standard of our
schools, yet he pointed out instances
where they coald be improved by
he Introduction of other studies or
courses. He appreciated the in
elliReDce displayed by the young
people 10 whom he was about to
deliver sheep skins, but admonished
them not to stop with their present
education. In language of the
most beautiful wording, Rev. Wal.
'r told the young people to seek
higher elevations in the educational
line.
The closing exercises were open.
ed with an invocation by Rev. w g.
+. Shepl ard. This was followed
with selection by the parks or.
chestra, and then came the presenta-
ZION of diplomas.
After the class had received their
diplomas a solo sung by Miss Cere
Grothe, teacher of art and music,
was well received by the large audi
ence.

WHY He LEFT The
DEMOCRATIC PARTY
Hon. John B. Burgess Sdus He
Joined the Republican Pdrtu Be-
Cause Ii Is the Friend OF the
Farmer and Wage Garner.

The following from the Ashland In
dependent gives an interview with Hon.
John b. Burgess of this county. He
tells why he left the Democratic party
and joined the Republican party. Mr..
Burgess is the scion OF an old Demo-
cratic family in this county and this
interview will be read with great deal
of interest:
Hon. John b. Burgess. OF Wayne
county, w. Va, son OF n noted Big
Sandy family of democrats, was i'm the
city yesterday. Mr. Burgess talked en-
tertainingly of politics and business.
When interviewed by an independent
man, he said During the last low
tariff Democratic administration admin
istered by the lamented Cleveland sheen
and cattle on my farm would hardly
sell. sold calves for three dollars and
cattle from ten to fifteen dollars, and
now sheep sell for three and four dol.
, lars calves for ten and twelve dollars.
and cattle from forty to fifty dollars.
When the low prices under Cleveland
struck me, was financially embarrassed,
but the incoming OF Mckinley with his
tariff law revived my fortunes and re-
covered from the Cleveland hard times.
with the result that my farm has given
me sufficient returns until today I NAV
say that my fortune is five times as
much as when the low tariff law was re-
pealed. l left the Democratic party
shortly after the Mckinley tariff law
demonstrated that the republicans were
the real friends of the man who titled
the soil. did this with some sadness
and regret as my father and many OF
my associates had been life long demo.
Gratis and / somewhat dreaded the no.
toriety that would be caused by the step
L took. But my conscience would not
| allow me to reap the benefits OF repub-
lican legislation and Mt the same time
support party that had nearly ruined
me financially, so / cut loose from the
National Democratic party and voted
for Mckinley for president and Hughes
for congress. My act made me feel so
good that later cut the bridges behind
4, me. and have been supporting the Re-
| publican ticket of the state OF West Vir.
ginia as well. / am now the chairman
OF the Republican committee of
Wayne county, and I take pride in the
| gradual decrease OF the democratic
| votes. These democrats and mug
wumps may talk about high prices Bal
linger and such things, but West Vir-
Rlnians do not care about those things
as long as the mines and factories are
running on full time and the railroads
work double crews TO distribute our
products and every man can get work
who wants it. No, young man, West
Virginia will never wane, as long as she
has coal and timber in the hills and gas
in the bowels of the earth ard the Re-
7 publican party stands by policies that
sell those things and bring wealth to the
state.
I'VE greatly admire Congressman
Hughes in our county. and will give him
a majority in November as we did once
before.

chant. stock dealer and farmer and his
desertion from the democracy created

Cleanup day was generally and eff
fectively observed. All the stores
closed in the afternoon and employer
and employees turned out with shovel,
hoe or rake to help in the popular
movement to make Leavenworth a
cleaner and consequently healthier
town. Would it not be a good idea
for the council to pass an ordinance
prohibiting the use of the streets, alleys
and vacant lots as dumping ground
for all manner of unsightly and unsan-
itary refuse2 1t would require but
little time or trouble to put sweepings,
stale vegetables, and other trash in
barrels and haul it to the city dumping
grounds.

even Iowa have chosen their senators
in defiance Of the principle Of sectional
representation, believing that states
man who is worthy of the position as
senator is big enough to represent the
interests of the whole state. In these
states the men and the principles fol
which they stood seem to have been Of
greater importance than any considera-
ton OF sectional representation.
In not all of these states are the
needs of the different parts so diverse
as is the case with Washington, but
the differences exist to a greater or less
degree in all of them.
Senator Jones so far has made an
excellent record. If he believes that
the west side of the state will insist
upon electing a senator four years
hence there is no reason why he can
not move to one of the coast cities and
become the candidate for western
Washington.
The election OF Mr.. Poindexter to
the senate will in no way prejudice the
people of the state against the re-elec-
ton of Senator Jones.

tematized things that the Office is in
better shape today than it has been
for years. The work in the office has
not been allowed to accumulate, but is
disposed of in its proper season and
in thorough and complete manner 1t
is satisfaction to those having bus

find things in such "ship-shape" as
they are under Irwin Young, as it
makes it all the easier and quicker
for them to tranact their business.
People quickly recognize worth and
capability and in Irwin Young they
know the county has one of the best
men that has ever filled the office of
auditor Not only is Irwin Young an
exceedingly efficient auditor, but he is
courteous and accommodating to all
who come to the office His conduct

there was much excitement when Bur-

plunged and whirled about suddenly
and in an instant stampede of ma
jority of the horses occurred.
A buggy belonging to Basil Kile
was overturned and the six-year-old
daughter of Mr., Kile was thrown out
and the wheels of the buggy passed
over her back. The child was badly
hurt and it is feared internal injuries

SCANDAL
In Canal System Referred To
By Gov. Harmon
In His Speech At GAINESVILLE
Thursday Night

GAINESVILLE. O., Oct 14-1n his |
speech here last night Governor Har-
mon said about the canal scandal:
"Mr Harding complains because the
canal disclosures were not made ear
lier in my administration. He does
not seem to realize the indictment he
makes of the many administrations all
controlled by the state house and city
boss ring which never turned hand.
He pays me an unconscious compli-
ment, too, in expecting such prompt
and effective action with out man in
that department on whom | could de-
pend for help. He refers to the res
olution of 1909 for the appointment of
a canal commission of which | was to
be chairman. 1t was to examine and
report on "the condition of the canals
of the state" and make recommends
tions for legislation" which / under
stand to mean, as citizens generally
did, the state of the canals as to USE
fulness and whether and how they
should be made instruments Of COM
merce or else disposed of.
81 accordingly spent considerable
time in seeking men qualified for that
work whose recommendation would
have real value and carry weight. 1t
was very hard to find such men who
we're citizens of Ohio, as they were re-
quired to be. When found they would
have to be paid for their skill and the
great time the work would require,
as was recognized by the provision in
the resolution for compensation. But
no appropriation was made for paying
them, and when ] discovered this !
was compelled to drop the matter be.
cause service of this sort would not
be had without compensation.
when MIR. Marker was appointed
Chief Engineer four months ago | dl-
rected him to look into the way things
were going, and such assistance as he
has required have been able to pay
from the small contingent fund ap-
propriated for the governor"
