ORIGINAL POETRY
1.-The Bad Trusts.


We sing of a land that is glorious
Where people of all nations may dwell;
We boast of a flag all victorious,
And our goodness to others we tell
But a look at the facts will convince you
That conditions are not what they seem.
No discount on the flag or the country,
But our goodness is mostly dream.
Chorus
o, yes, We re country most glorious,
And flag that is grand and supreme
But the Trusts fix the price of our living
And the rich get the most of the cream.
We sing of our glorious liberty
OF our great and extensive domain;
We boast of people all united,
And of honor that hasn't a stain.
But there is something wrong with the nation
And the laws that We're meant to be good,
For the rich can control legiSlatiOn
And the Trusts fix the price of our food.
Chorus-O, yes, we're country, etc
Very seldom a poor mans respected
Where mOnOpOlieS are in control,
And he dare not complain of his treatment,
Or they d take his name off the pay roll.
Corporations may steal by the millions
And conviction means only a fine
But poor man who steals to feed hunger
In a prison must languiSh and pine
Chorus-O, yes, we're country, etc
If man has the money to back him
He can do as he likes IN this land
Politicians will honor and serve him,
And the courts will be slow to command
But poor man must walk crcumspeCtly
And the laws of the country obey
He has no cash for franchise or favors,
And such things are not given away.
ChOrus-O, yes, we've a country, etc.

seem narrow in yiewingth matter

to seem narrow in viewing this matter
but why this proposed class legislation ?
If we are going to have open hotel
saloons, why not treat all men engaged
in this business alike?
And if Cigar-stOreS aud drug stores
are to be granted Sunday permission,
why not make it general and have an
open Sunday all round?
Why not open up the moving picture
shows, the skating Kinks. the theatres,
and all other places of amusements?
Then when all this is done, why not
under same logic pass a law making it a
misdemeanor to open the churches and
Sunday schools, so that the merchants
and hotel men, who are interested in
these laws, will have complete control
of the moral uplift of the town?
And then, you know, whatever the re-
suits may be let them honestly assume
all the responsibility.
If we are to have an open Sunday,
make 1t general.
But if one man is compelled to close
his place of business ON Sunday, then
am in favor of making all others do
likewise. No special privileges to IA few
and let the other fellow get along the
best he can on Sin days week, while
his competitor, next door, can open and
do business seven days Il week.
Yours for fairness aud equal treat
ment to all. BUSINESS MAN.

Mr.. Wittig's bill authorizing county
appropriation of $500 year to maintain
flags on school houses was reported
favorably by the delegation.
Mr.. Herpich's bill providing for Bible
reading in the schools was referred to
according to one authority, the COM
mittee on Education; by another to the
committee on Judiciary.
The delegation favors the annual ap-
preparation to the Road Directors of
$4,000; abolition of office of almshouse
trustees, and repeal of the scalp law.
Consideration of the Luke bridge bill
was deferred until it can be seen what
Mineral County. w. Va, will do.
Mr. Carl introduced bill repeating a
section of Act under which charters are
issued to State banks, requiring the lat
ter to deposit $50, 900 of stock with State
Treasurer. Five savings banks in the
county ask this relief.
Mr. Herpich has introduced bill max
ing the wear of an order button or other
insignia by a non-member misdemeanor
Under it an Odd Fellow cannot wear a
Pythian Sisters badge unless he Is also
a Sister.
Mr. Carl will introduce a bill increas-
ing the pay of public school teachers.
Mr.. Zihlman has introduced the
miners relief bill, imposing a tax on
coal for indemnity to miners families
in event of loss of life. Should include
the miner himself if seriously disabled.
Mr.. Wittig will introduce bill max
ing office of mine inspector elective.

Home Rule.

Sometime ago the county commits
sioners and delegation to the Legisla-
ture held a conference and the term.
"bi-partsanship," enjoyed little con-
sideratiou.
In this way-one or several thought
that however the Road Directory might
be divided politically. one of each party
should be elected quadrennially instead
of two each biennially.
This plan would keep two members of
experience "on duty" all the time.
The idea seems to be so good that it
might be carried further, because the
''check" and "balance' theory OF gov
eminent, while not absolutely proof
against abuse, is safer than the all party
regime.
Suppose it were understood that il the
county commissioners should be two re-
publicans and one democrat one term,
and rice rrrSn the next, anything going
wrong could not long continue without
an outbreak.
If the board be republican this term
the sheriff. if democrat on that ac.
count, would have to be circumspect,
and circumspectioni i'll office is equivalent
to the best type of public economy.
This parallel could be carried further,
but enough is stated to show how par
tisanship can be utilized for actual popu-
lar good.
In proof whereof, it is possible-nOt
probable, that had Mr. Hodel been the
fifth or sixth sheriff under the system
indicated he would never have ventured
upon his unfortunate course.
But with republican commissioners
above him and republican attorney at
their service, what else could have
reasonably happened:
Now put republican sheriff, en-
dowed with Mr. Hodel's weaknesses,
between two democratic walls of fire,
and his will be a record of which any
Christian might be proud.
The indictment, prosecution and CON
viction of Hodel. more than any other
elemental consideration, showed the
democratic party last election under the
heaviest fall i'll county history.
So far so good, but is continuously
unbalanced party control-no matter
which party, ultimately the best fol
both OF all:
1t is probably too late for this Legis
lature, but there is Il ylittering oppor
tunity at hand to perfect IA system OF
county government that will be almost
absolutely proof against abuse or mis-
use of the people trust.
There need be no government b.
commission notion of foreign brit
and imperialistic complexion, about it
but government by trustees of eacl
party, practically forced by competing
integrity to dothe best for the people
instead of the most for ii few.

Polk Miller.

Nearly every field of entertainment or
of enterprise has its host of claimants
for the coveted first rank, but when it
comes to the delineation of that pic
turesQue and ever amusing character,
the UHte-bSNum Southern negro, Polk
Miller, of Richmond. stands unique and
without rival.
Born and bred in the Old Dominion,
where 'possums, coons, and little mig
gers abound, Mr.. Miller had all the OPP
portunities offered by typical planta
ton life to become familiar with every
twist and turn of the ancient black
mans point of view. 1t was many
years after he had fought his way
through the Civil War before Mr.. Mil
Ter attempted to put this knowledge to
practical use, but finally he found his
way to the platform and an ever-grow-
ing audience has kept HIM there since.
The reason why" was once tersely eX
pressed by General Fitzhugh Lee. He
has had no predecessor" said General
Lee; has no contemporary. and will
have no successor. When Polk Miller
is gone the man who can best tell of the
old South will have passed away"
With his One-time cOmrade-in arms
and lifelong friend. Tom" Booker, of
Amelia County, Virginia, Mr.. Miller
will appear here on Monday, February
eth, and the Tro Od ConfederGteS,
with banjo song and story will furnish

gram could be offered. Not the least at
