Reed,s speech Praised.

The Lincoln Monitor says:
.sPossibIy with one exception the
great crowd that came to Hamlin
MONDAY was the largest that ever
assembled in the county.
.'The people came on foot, horse
back, mule-back, in buggies, wag-
ons and automobiles. The number
OF people here was estimated at
from 1900 to $500.
s'The corner stone laying of the
new S71,5OO Lincoln county court
house was the most suspicious event
in the history of the county.
.'The Hon. stuart F. Reed. secre-
4ary of state, was the orator of the
( day.
'erhe reputation of this fau1tless
speaker is not confined to West
Virginia, and with great expecta-
lions, which were not disappointed
the big crowd gave the speaker
Tapt attention.
'tae spoke particularly and in
glowing words OF the achievements
Of the sons and daughters OF West
Virginia in song and story; on can
vas; in the realms of art: upon the
battladelds; in craftsmanship; the
pulpit and far-away mission fields.
The hearts of young men and young
women were filled with higher i'm
pulses as they listened.
'.He had complete control over
the great crowd. The people
laughed, and cried. HE played upon
their emotions, their ambitions were
thrilled, and their intellects were
satisfied with the banquet he spread
out before them.
'Gstuart F. Reed is a big speaker,

intellect, and Monday he spoke

Adam. the ASS.

One Democratic paper in West
Virginia has had enough courage to
rebuke Adam Littlepage, the con-
gressional freak who succeeded
Congressman Joseph N. Gaines,
but in chastising him it also COM
mends him for being untainted by
associations at home described to be
as fiendish as human mind can con-
cove. In the compliment, however
is an intimation of wonder that one
Of his caltber could have resisted
the aIlurements. The eulogy passed
on Adam has its sting. 1t certainly
must be refreshing to hear the great
statesman Adam says he is called
an ass, and yet that is exactly what
one of his party newspapers says
he has been on more than one oc-
casion in his congressional career
thus far. Read:
Adam Littlepage made an ass OF
himself on two or three occasions
during his recent congressional SER
vice, but his heart is all right. He
is an honest man, and his sympathtes
are with the plain, common people.
The fact that he has lived in
Charleston practically all his life and
associated with a gang of political
hellhounds and kept clean is re-
markabIe, and is a splendid testi-
mony of his Intrinsic worth. We
hope that in the next session OF
Congress Adam will suppress some
what his egoism and clownish pro-
clivities, and we believe that he
will While he has succeeded in
making for himself national rep
utation yet it is not such reputa-
ton as a well-poised, sober-minded
man should desire.

Making the Week the Unit
Measure Instead of the
Month.

LONDON, Sept 16-sir Henry
DaIziel, leader of the Ultra-radicals
in the House of Commons, the
father of the bill which aims at Civ
ing Scotland local self-government.
has just had prepared a bill to alter
the calendar. This bill. known as
the Fixed Calendar Bill, contains
some novel features. LAS the mem
orandum which accompanies it ex-
plains, the bill purposes to substi-
tute for the present irregular cal
endar periods, of which the week is
the common measure.
In this, as in other features, it
differs from the calendar Reform
Bill introduced in the House OF
Commons in 1908, but which never
got beyond the second reading stage.
That bill sought to make the
months as uniform in length as pos
sible, but as a difference in this re-
spect is unavoidable in a year with
twelve months, it is thought better
to increase that difference so as to
allow of the week being common
measure OF all months. This ar
rangement makes 1t possible for
each month to begin on Sunday
and end on Saturday.
A table giving the proposed fixed
calendar shows that the months OF
January, February, April, May july
August, October and November
would each consist of 1913 days.
whilst the remaining months OF
March, June, September and Decem-
Der would each have thirty+five days
''New Year Day is set apart, thus
bringing the total OF days up to
the requisite number of 1865, whilst
for Leap Years a special day Is set
apart as Leap Day" which is to ne
differentiated between the last day OF
June and the first day of July, as re-
by the bill.
"A clause in the bill lays down thai
the New Year Day and Leap Day
shall neither be counted days of the
week. and shall not, except where
specially mentioned or provided Tor
he held to be included in any COM
mutation of days, but shall other
wise he public bank holidays. The
OF labor on those two
days and the remuneration therefor
under the bill, would conform as
far as possible to what prevails on
sundays. "A fixed date, April IS. is
selected for Easter Day.
Finally the bill. IL passed by Par
lament, will not become operative
until the government decides that

IN great Turab The Cor boeE1
Is growing ~ leaps and boundls and
It fs fast sweeping the State to the
great alarm Of the Democratic state
machine and its two senatorial
bosses. what great proportions It
will assume by the time TO elect
a successor to Clarence w. Watson
may be estimated properly from its
present greatness. Triumph III
written now on the Con banner.
The situation that<has already de-
veloped clearly shows that he need
not become an active candidate. AS
several newspapers put it, the people
OF the state will arrange all the pre-
liminaries for his entrance into the
United states Senate. Gwen such
partisan Democratic newspapers as
the wheeling Register admit that
the Republican press of the state is
solid for Con, and this admission
indicates that the Democratic state
machine sees the irresistible tide OF
the people of the state in rallying
around the Con banner. Tersely
stated, the present and the future
OF the movement to place the dis
tinguished jurist in the Senate is
told as follows by the Wheeling In
Itelligencer:
In spite of the guarded words in
which Judge Nathan Con dis
courages the movement to bring
about his nomination and. election
to the United States Senate, the In
telIigencer believes that it has abb
solute authority to say that Judge
Cor will not resist the call Of his
party and the call of his state. The
position which he occupies is a dis
Itilgulshed one. 1T is not to be ex-
pected and. none of his friends have
expected that he would enter into
a scramble for the United States
dictatorship, or for any other office.
The people OF West Virginia will at
tend to all the details Of the work
preliminary to his acceptance of a
seat in the United States Senate:
Judge Cor VIII be the choice OF
the Republican party for the Senate
next year.
"A Republican majority in the leg
islature will nominate and elect
him, and he will respond to the call,
as the highest honor which it is pos
Isible for his state to confer upon its
lfavorite son.

1Tusbrooms and Toadstools.

Now and then the news dis

which are sometimes known as
toadstools. are poisonous. In view
of the mistake tha1 is frequently
made Of preparing the poisonous
kind for eating, it appears that their
distinction should be plainly taught
in the public schools. or. at least
more clearly taught there.
There are at least fifty different
kinds OF edible mushrooms. The
government has issued a book fully
describing and illustrating each OF
these. Besides this, every una
bridged dictionary accurately de-
scribes the difference between the
commonest of the edible mush-
rooms, the Agaricus campestris, and
the commonest of the poisonous
kind, the Death Cup Amanita. All
writer's OF books on vegetation are
also careful to give full information
,as to the edible and the poisonous
fungi
1T seems impossible, however, to
teach everybody how to distinguish
between the good and the bad. De-
scrIptions in books do not suffice.
