Edward could not hear what the negro

that he was deaf and dumb. Then the
negro caught my husband by the coat

moment when four other negroes joined

Honor for Hubbard.

There Is gossip that Gov. Glasscock
will tender the Craftsmanship of his pro-
posed primary reform commission to
Representative w. p. Hubbard AS
chairman of the tax commission to re-
wise existing laws Hubbard Increased
his standing in West Virginia, and any
offer of honor which would be con-
genial to him would be welcomed by
the supporters of Senator Scott, who do
not want to see Hubbard entirely elm
mated from public life. Naturally, they
hope to see him announce his ABANDON
ment of further opposition to Scott On
this subject his lips are mute.
George c. Baker of MorgantOwn. in an
open letter this week, urges Hubbard TO
make such an announcement and advised
the friends of Hubbard to counsel him to
this end that there may be desired har-
mony and prevent party troubles and
possible democratic legislature. Baker
was the ready letter writer of the Daw-
son gubernatorial campaign and one of
Hubbard's intimate circle of state fieuten-
ants, which makes his plea all the more
significant and effective. Baker expresses
the hope that a consular or diplomatic
post be found for Hubbard wish COM
ing from the general sentiment against
Hubbard's enforced oblivion by reason
or his dropping out of the House of Rep
resentatives to make an unsuccessful
race against Scott for the Senate

WHEELING, w. Va, July ., 1910.
Cannonism as an issue has been ac-
cepted and made his war cry by Rep
resentative Joseph II. Gaines in his cam
paign for a denomination in the third
West Virginia district. In accepting 1t
he asks his opponent :. b. Avis, whether
he pretends to be a regular or an in
surgent republican. He asked this ques-
ton in his speech at Charleston almost
a week ago, and to date Mr.. Avis has
made no response.
There were two points, Gaines real
ICED, which figured as vital in his con-
test One was the paragraph in Avis
announcement which virtually put Avis
on record as an anti-Cannon candidate,
and the other that he. Gaines, neglects
his district to go gallivantin' around the
country at large. Avis did not ex-
pli4tly state he was against Cannon.
but he worded his announcement to give
this impression, making much of his
professed fealty to Roosevelt and pro-
gressive policies.
Gaines defended his support of Cannon
on the theory that much said against the
Speaker was prejudiced feeling among
publications which were hostile because
they did not get news print paper on the
free list As to the charge that he ne
elected his district, Gaines argued that
his position as a member of the ways
and means committee made him the re-
cipient of many invitations to speak 10
republicans in other sections Of the
Union, and he made his point stronger
by declaring this recognition was one to
be proud of rather than to bring CEN
sure upon the recipient

Gaines Friends Confident.

Although Gaines lost Pocahontas and
carried Upshur by a slight margin, his
supporters are confident of his success
in the other counties, which all to
vote the same day. He has TO hustle,
nevertheless, against the feeling that he
is indolent and Indifferent to his dis
trict, rather than against the Cannon
argument, for, pointed out hereto
fore, there is not much substantial OPP
position in West Virginia to Cannon, al
though something of the insurgent spirit
is to be noted.
In going through the formalities of
accepting a third nomination this week
at keyser, Representative Sturgiss ad-
vised his constituents to succeed him
when they desire with a young man, and
keep that youth in training by sue
cessively re-electing him until he has
become power at the capital. 1t was
a statement which has given food for
thought. In fact, the campaigns of Sem
ator Scott and the present House MEM
bers have been waged almost exclusively
on the argument that only by their re-
tention could West Virginia expect much
from the national pork barrel, and in
their collective selfishness this argument
took root among the people.

The Savings Bank Bill.

The postal savings bank bill just
passed by congress Is one OF really
great Importance 1t has been a.
dopted 10 the face not only of indiff.
erence, but OF opposition by the
Republican organization. Under the
terms Of the bill, the postmaster
general, the attorney general and
the secretary Of the treasury are the
trustees who will decide what post
offices shall be permitted to receive
deposits. 1t Is not believed that the
system will be hurriedly extended to
all parts Of the country. The pur.
pose of the bill as President Taft has
viewed it is to extend banking
facilities throughout The country for
the benefit Of poor people In those
localities which now lack savings
depositaries. Speaking OF the enact
ments OF the bill, the President
recently said that the trustees will
probably 20 slow at frst and estab.
lish only a few postal banks In cities
OF the tlrst class and fewer still la the
cities Of the second class. and SO on
down To the larger towns. Under
the law as passed. any person OF ten
years or older will be permitted to
open an account in a postal bark.
No deposit OF less than ST. will lie
received, but the postmaster is per-
NIT ed to sell special 1Oc stamps
which later may be turned in when
The amount Of those shall. have
reached 81. No single person may
deposit more than 500 in a single
month. and no postal bank account
will be permitted to exceed $500.
The government will pay 2 per cent
interest on deposits. The important
feature Of the bill is that authorizing
the Investment Of postal bank funds

The Irrigation Bond Issue.

The passage of the $40, 600, 900
bond bill for the aiding Of early com.
plttion Of irrigation projects In the
west by congress was greeted with
great joy by settlers and reclamation
engineers interested In the two big
projects Ia Idaho. The consensus Of
op1n m indicates general satisfaction
with $40, 100000, as it is believed
that more money can be similarly
provided As it Is needed IN future.
''This $40, 900, 900 will supplement
the regular annual allotment made
for the projects by the reclamation

will be about 81, 100000, though no
dehnite announcement. has been re-
ceived from Director Newell of the

Probable Origin of Rumor About
Anti-Saloon Congress.

Probable Origin of Rumor About
Anti-Saloon Congress.
An article purporting to be an
expose Of rumored intrigues to get
the recent anti saloon congress at
Boise to indorse Governor Brady,
was published in a Spokane paper,
which is supporting B. r. O'Neil.
Rev. w. ]. Herwig, superintend-
ent of the anti-saloon league,
denied the statements contained in
the Spokane paper, and Rev.
c impbell w. Bushnell of Lewis
ton, who says he is supporter OF
O'Neil, has since come forward
with letter stating that he had
heard OF the rumor that secret
plans were on foot to have the
anti-saloon congress indorse Brady
and that he hurried to Boise to
ascertain the facts on the evening
before the congress met and check
any such movement if possible.
He found no one WHO knew of any
plans in the interest of the govern
or but told several Of the rumor he
had heard. He also said he talked
next day with a man who claimed
he overheard the governor "cuss.
ing preacher" but did not know
what it was about. Bushnell got
the assurance from a member OF
the committee on resolutions the
day of the congress that no resolu-
ton OF political nature would be
brought in, and then returned
north.
Ex-Governor F. r. Gooding.
who is active in the advancement
OF temperance, and who took
prominent part in the session OF
the anti-saloon congress, has been
interviewed by the Boise States
man and said:
"Mr. Herwig called upon me
very early on the morning of the
congress and said that there was
rnmor, brought down from the
north to the effect that an effort
would be made to pass strong
resolutions indorsing Governor
Brady's candidacy, and that was
expected to introduce such a reso-
luton.
81 told Mr.. Herwig that had
not heard of such a movement; /.
was not in favor of any such move
ment and furthermore that l
should help defeat it if attempted;
that the congress was a gathering
in the interest of temperance, and
tor the advancement of the cause
and that in my judgment the
whole matter was just merely sus.
picion of alarm from friends of
O'Neil and Clagstone.
