Now that Consr S: has conven-

to remove the Pavne-Aldrich duties
on meats as a step toward reducing
the cost of living.
Thisi is mt of the plain mandates
of the election. No Investigation by
a tariff c mmission is required. No
time need be lost in debate. 1t can
be done in a single day.
Under the Payne ldrich ac. beef

paconis taxed four cent a pound hams
are taxed four cents a pound mutton
and lambs are taxed a cent and a
half pound; pork and veal are taxed
a cent and a half a pound; poultry
is taxed three cents a pound when it
is alive and five cents when it is
dead. All these taxes strengthen the
Beef Trust in its policy of extortion
by keeling out the food products OF
Canada, Australia and the Argen
tine Republic. VS.
Officials of the Beef Trust insist
that the prices of meats is governed
solely by the law of supply and de-
mand and that for years the supply
has been inadequate. If this be true
the way to reduce the price to the
consumer is to increase the supply,
and the way to increase the supply
is to open the American market to

ADVERTISING IN. THE SUMMER
Lack Of Optimism on Part Of soliei-
tors May Cause Falling Of at
This Time.

Before a recent business meeting OF
the New York Tines stat. Ernest J.
Preston. manager of the Daily News
paper club, discussed 1.-THE Decline Of
Advertising in the Summer. He gave
various reasons why advertising
should be kept up during the hot sea-
son above all other times of the year.
and said that it may not be all the
fault of the advertiser that he lets his
publicity fall OF in the summer but
that some OF It may be brought about
by the lack Of optimism on the part
Of the advertising solicitor.
1T Is as s~enseless for an adver-
tiser to stop his advertising-to break
the effect OF repetition-to quit firing
at that great SO per cent of the indif.
ferent. thoughtless. obstinate public"
said Mr.. Preston, "as It would be for
the engineer to let his fires go out
or the chauffeur to let his power ard
speed 80 down on approaching a hill.
The public must be told the story
of a product without the cessation of
. month or two, for it has been proven
hat it costs twice as much to get
back into the former commanding po-
sition than It would have cost to keep
the attention with some shots eacn
week. even If the full schedule was
aot maintained.
Tell your customers to advertise
TO the people that are staying at home
there's a hundred times as many re.
gaining here az go away. Some per-
IONS believe that the people read less
in the summer than IN the winter, but
don't believe It.
You have a hundred reasons TO give
why q line should be persistently ad.
vert!sed in the summer as any other
time. Personally you get hungry in
The summer-you read in the summer
you may take things a trtfe easy
but you don't let up. It's not human
nature to let up. so bring that to the
attention OF the mar who should spend
some money in the display columns
and see II a good bunch of optimism
plus some good common sense
won't make them look at things In a
'Jht that win enable you to obtain

people in general, Probably there
is scarcely a person but who believes
that the Standard Oil and many
other corporations Systematically
break the law, morally ifnot legally,
but it seems well nigh impossible as
matters are to secure a conviction.
Even in the very rare instances a
corporation has been found guilty
the penalty imposed is usually a
moderate fine for which the com
pany generally recoups itself from
the public. Techniealities, intricate
and minute, are allowed to interfere
with the course of justice in a way
that would not be tolerated in others
countries. Whether or not many
judges r influenced by their en-
vironments,a s many assert, it is clear
that their decisions almost invariably
favor corporations. Whether the
remedy will be found in a change in
the judiciary or in more drastic laws,
or in the brushing away of the alb
surd and involved technicalities is
something owe which opinions may
differ. But certain it is that some
where and somehow a remedy will
have to be that the interests of the
people NAV be conserved.

CONGRESS should lose no time after
assembling in performing one plain
duty to the people. That is to re-
move the Payne-Aldrich duties on
meats. The tariff on meats is indef-
ensible. Its no help to the cattle
raisers OF this country because the
beef trust squeezes the price of cattle
on the hoof down to the lowest notch.
tariff or no tariff. The only purpose
OF that tax of one a half to five cents
a pound on different kinds of meat is
to create ehorbitant profits fo- the
meat packers. The meat trust pre-.
tends that high prices are due to the
inadequate supply of cattle. Very
well then; increase the supply by
opening the American market to Can
adam, Australian and Argentine beef
and mutton. The present Republican
Congress mas heard the emphatic de-
mand of the people for relief from
the exactions of the meat trust. Will
It heed TEX.

THE MESSAGE OF CHRISTMAS.

This is the season when the whole
Christian world sings in unison.
Christianity has its many faiths, and
sometimes there is clashing and dis
cord, but at Christmas the bells ring
in harmony, for all celebrate the
birth of the Christchild.
What that birth signifed was made
known to the world when above the
s%tar-lit plains of Bethlehem the an
gels sang to wondering shepherds
the glad story Of peace and good
will. That was a glorious message
which the world has been slowly but
surely learning to accept.
Each Christmas witnesses some adj
vance in peace, goodwill, and JOY.
FIR, whatever may be said to the
contrary, the world is steadily i'm
proving. Nations are drawn int
closer association with each other as
they come under the influence Of
Christian civilization. They may
sill be armed to the teeth, but the,
do not fly at each others threats S,
readily as they did in former days.
A few diplomats sitting together and
amicably 4 ranging arbitration treat
les now take the place of generals
and armies. And the work, when it
is done, leaves no sad memories OF
slaughtered men, wasted countries,
broken hearts, and untold misery.
That which We see in the improv-
ed relations of nation with nation we
also e in the everyday life of ever,
community where the birth of til
Prince of Peace is commemorated.
The message of Christmas, then, is
peace, and in its train are joy. coed
will, brotherhood, and all those other
qualities which are surely Mako:
this world more heaven-like.

HON. c. W. WATSON, FOR SENATOR.

Fairmont, W. Va, Nov. Cd Hon.
o. S. McKinner tonight gave GU,
the following statement concerning
Clarence W. Watson. and his qualif-
cations f,r the Office of States
senator:
Now that Mr.. Watson 5 candi-
dacy for the senatorship is assuming
such proportions as to invite the in
quiry of the people as to the manner
of mar he is, a little specific informa-
ton of a personal nature may not be
improper.
There are those doubtless who as
sociate with his name only his re-
markable success as a coal operator,
and who see in his candidacy only the
aspiration of wealthy man to get a
seat in the senate without qualifca-
tons for the place.
Those who know Mr.. Watson even
casually know how ridiculous this
conception is. Mr.. Watson is not
only successful in his business, but
he has culture, education and ability
which fit him in the highest degree
to make a capable representative of
the people of the state in the senate.
On the questions that come before
that body relating to transportation,

voters to population is one in five,
and examination of the registration
as compared with population in the
other counties of the state shows
that this ratio is practically maintain
ed in every county in the state where
there was a fair registration.
Further, the specific charge. is
made that the names illegally placed
upon the registration books in Mingo
county numbered about seventeen
hundred. Subtract this number from
the total registration, and we have
4,oS5 presumably legally registered
voters in the county. Another
simple mathematical process shows
that this gives a ratio of the voter
to every 4,79 persons in the county
which accord fairly well with the
ratio in the other counties of the
state.
IL must De remembered, too, that
the County Clerk and the registrars
in Mingo county, in their desperate
effort to carry the election by fail
means or foul, refused to allow any
democrat to inspect the registration
books for any purpose, until they
were compelled to do SO by a mar
damus from the Supreme Court 1
the state. Their reason for not wish
ing the democrats to view the books
becomes apparent in the view OF Ia
ter events. They knew what inspec.
ton of the books would reveal.
Is there any reason to doubt that
the frauds were sufficiently great tc
render the election of no value what.

will of the people of Mingo county

The British Parliament has just
been dissolved. Within two months
its successor will have been inaugural
ted and started on the legislative job.
This, like English justice, is promp,
and effective. Here the process of
installing a Congress takes nearly a
year and a half, and a criminal may
by the employment of Proper legal
talent drag his case along almost in
definitely. In these respects we are
still considerably behind the time.

THE MlNCO REGISTRATION.

The following is the Huntington
Advertisers view of the registration
and fraudulent voting in the recent
election, in Mingo County:
The democrats have asserted that
the recent election in Mingo county
was unfair and fraudulent, and that
the result die not represent the senti-
ment of the lawful voters Of that
county. More specifically the charge
is made that the registration lists
were shamefully padded, that some
seventeen hundred names of men
who either did not exist, or who had
no legal voting residence in Mingo
county, were placed upon the reg
istration books by the republican
registrars, and that men presumably
illegal voters, were voted under the
names thus Illegally placed upon the
books. Had not this Illegal vote been
cast, the democrats claim, and with
excellent reason. that the majority
in Mingo would have been in the
democratic column.
All this has been denied by the
Mingo republicans, who aver that
the registration was fair and that
The election was lawfully conducted
Let US look, in this connection,
into just one question, as to whether
or not the registration books were
padded with illegal voters.
The total registration in Mingo
county was 5,735. ,
The total population of Minco
county, as shown by the report of
the census bureau made public yes
terday, was 1881,
A simple mathematical process

The governments suit begun ir
New York to bust the Sugar Trust
will probably result as successfully
as have other government attempts
to dissolve different corporate mon
oplies. In the governments brief
it is alleged that H. o. Havemeyer
received $40. DOC, 900 of the common
stock of the National Sugar Refining
company of New Jersey as a bonus
for taking four independent concerns
into the corporation. That is ex-
actly what trusts are formed for-to
make millions out OF the deal for the
officers and promoters, without re-
gard to the improvement of indust-
rial efficiency, the avoidance of ex-
cessive competition of the reduction
OF price to the consumer. Fhe
ofense in every case is on the part
of individuals. The filming of the
trust does MT accomplish the desired
result. 1t is yet to be recorded
wnere a monopolistic corporation
has ever been permanently dissolved
ia the United States. What is
is the criminal prosecution and I'M:
prisonment Of the insiders and
schemers who made these corporal
ions possible. The Sherman law
has a criminal clause under which
this could be done if the prosecutors
we're really in earnest and the courts
properly appealed to. Jail the in
3ividual malefactors, and the law
would soon be respected. To fine
the corporate body is simply to levy
additional tribute on the public,
which. eventually pays the fine in
increased cost prices.
