AT the very beginning of the
campaign, in fact in his remarks
( mere upon his arrival home from
1 Wheeling the night of his nomina-
don, John w. Davis, Democratic
candidate for Congress in this dis
triet, stated and has continued to
state that he can not be elected to
Congress unless a sufficient number
Of Republicans vote for him. Davis
realizes that this district is over
yhelmingly Republican. and he
ought to know the reason why.
Years ago before the present
great Industrial development of the
district got under good headway.
the district sent Democrats to Con
gress once in a while. but the COM
ing OF the mines and the mills and
modern agriculture converted the
First district into a Republican
stronghold. and the policies of the
Republican party continue to build
up the district and make 1t greater.
The political party Davis represents
together with his own beliefs on
Vital public questions are the oppo-
site to the policies and principles.
under which tbs district has prosper
ed and is prospecting. Why then
should he or his party expect the
district to abandon its course and
nun the risk of adversely?
And. why should he expect Repub-
licans to vote for him? What right
has he to appeal to them to do so?
He Is a partisan of the deepest dye.
He not only does not vote for Repub-
licans but he also urges that Repub-
Hcans be defeated.
Once he was elected to public Of
ice with the assistance OF Republi-
cans and he showed his apprecia-
tion OF that fact by exhibiting the
most extreme partisanship as his
tory OF the state shows. Republi-
cans should bear this in mind at the
polls November s. If they do not
want a partisan Democrat to repre-

wonderful saving Of Money.

The Democratic charge of extrav-
agance is again convinclngly ex-
posed and routed by the first annual
report OF the State Board of Control
to Governor Glasscock, copy of
which appears on the first page of
this issue of the Telegram. Figures
arc given there that paralyze the
Democratic campaign in this state
They strike a solar, plexus blow.
Every taxpayer be but deeply
impressed with tin Wonderful saving
of public moneys within single
year under Republican law and
the report certainly refutes the
charge OF extravaganza. Think Of
it! Nearly third of a million dol
lars saved in the conduct and man
agement of the state Institutions!
The tidings are so good that the re-
port is we'll worth reading more
than once. Republican and Demo-
crat alike should rejoice and give
credit where credit Is due.
Figures do not lie and the report
is signed by all the members of the
board, including one OF the leading
Democrats 81 the state. Remember
this fact. when you read Democratic
criticism in an attempt to discred't
the report.
The Republican party is entitled
to win in West Virginia on this re-
port without the help OF any other
issue.

work was commenced. AS usual, the
teacher made his perpatetic inspection,
and when | knew he was in the rear

jiggled it on my desk. This raised a
litter, of course. All this time the old
hemlock cordwood stick cracked and
sizzled and the stove was sending a
glowing heat through the school room
that certainly was pleasant
Again, with the tread Of panther

1T was some seconds before anything
happened, but something did happen.
Part of the stove hit the ceiling, the
rest was scattered fat upon the school
room floor and bits of burning cordwood
were spattered all over the school.

too proud and inquisitive in a case OF
that kind. I lost five dollars not long
ago on account of pride-two times
five dollars. in fact.
The first five dollar bill was handed
TO me when I sat at my writing desk.
Instead Of putting it away at once in a
safe place. I stuck it into an envelope
and left it there. Later wrote sew
eral letters and when I again remem-
bered the FIVE dollar bill it was gone
Ny natural supposition was that 1
had sent it away in one of the letters 1
had just written. All those letters ex-
cept one were business letters. The
exception was 10 Billy Strong. 1 i'm
mediately wrote TO all my correspond
ents and explained what I had done
and asked them TO examine their en-
velopes for trace Of the five dollars.
The promptness Of Billy strong's reply
was beautiful He sent me FIVE dollars
Fortunately. he, said. he had not de-
stroyed the envelope and there tucked
away IN one. corner he had found the

that outcome OF my mistake, but the

'Tt is no use for anybody to try to

Billy's motive in sending me the money.

he must have construed my letter as
an ingenious way OF asking for a loan

Louis, arrayed in his best suit of

MRS. sPRIGGs, who had been one of
brief year ago. was picture of
beauty as she stood arrayed for the
evening. The reflection that she saw
in the tall mirror seemed wholly sat
isfactory to her. for she smiled in con-
scious pride. Her neck and shoulders
seemed to have been especially formed
for the opera season and the gown that
she wore was revelation.
But Spriggs wasn't pleased. He re-
garded her moodily. and when she
turned suddenly she caught him off his
guard and noticed at once his express

The Ruling Passion

II HREADBARE clothing, one arm In
a sling-that was the first impress
sion gained Of the man. Good looking
well dressed. very much in love-that
was the impression gained OF the
young couple opposite. At Kearny
street the happy pair separated. They
said goodby regretfu1ly. The tender
radiance OF the girls face slightly
dimmed when the young man left the
car. but her detection was only mo-
mentary. Happiness such as hers was
buoyant even under the strain OF a
few hours separation.
BY the time the car was passing
Powell street her ebullient spirits again
scared high. Then she began seeking
an outlet for her great Joy. She
smiled at the tired 1aborer who had to
stand. Next she said Pretty darling"
to the fretfu1 baby across the aisle.
Presently she turned her attention to
the man opposite. He had an evening
paper anu was tAJAA5 with Ills OAAO
available hand to turn the pages. She
leaned forward sympathetically.
Cant help your she said.
without waiting for reply she took
the paper. deftly Strengthened out the
pages and handed IT back.
Thank you. miss" said he. but even
though he held the paper at the proper
reading angle IT was noticed that he
did not read.
At Haight street the girl left the
car. Then the man with the injured
arm began to rattle the paper once
more. That time another passenger
who had been interested in the little
pantomine volunteered assistance.
