1t. Iafe is known to be willing to

why he should be forgotten on the

The West Union Record runs
want editorial, although e has
mot clearly classified It's editorials
In general. This want is Tor "a
Democratic Leader and 1t says In
explaining the want:
''In no state in the Union is the
party more IN need OF
strong, virile, clean leadership than
in the state OF West Virginia"
Are not Senators Chiffon and
watson the Democratic leaders in
this state? Have they not handled
the Legislature at two sessions the
present year? Did they not decide who-
should be senators from this state?
Did they not also decide that there
should be no primary! election leg
islation in this state IN which the
election of a United States senator
in 1919 IS involved? Did they not
turn down proposition to let the
people vote next year direct toF
United states senator? While they
were doing these things were they
not leading the Democratic party
through its representatives In the
legislature? Have they not led ana
are they not. leading the party?
1t is not leader that the West
Union Record wants for the party
as the marty has two already as
shown. What the Record really
does want is a different kind OF a,
leader from either of the two gen
tlemen mentioned, or at least III
does not seem to grant that they
have the qualities essential to true
leadership.

Change for the Better.

one by one men who have earned

shrewdness in Wall street are pass

4he Vanderbilt and Gould families
some of the strongest men in the
Gtnadard OIL group are gone ana
the number of old-time Wall street
operators is growing smaller al
most daily. And now James X.
ISeene. who, in his day, fought al
tarnately with and against the
most adroit money-makers on the
stock market, is on the dangerously
sick list.
Tho race for wealth in Wall street
is generally condemned by the pub
lie. yet in spite OF the passing OF
the most powerful stock manipu-
lators of their time, new ones spring
I'M to take their places, and so the
struggle for maste of the market
continues. This is natural pro-
ccedinE, but there is decided
change going on in Wall street con-
ditlons, says the Boston Globe
In spite of assertions to the con-
4rary, Wall street cannot find SO
many dupes as formerly. Even the
Kings of finance have to alter their
mans, and this they are doing. In
stead of depending entirely on stock
dealings, as did their fathers, the
sons are branching out into new
and legitimate Industrial fields and
placing capital in enterprises where
4he returns are more satisfactory
and safer.

FightIng Democratic Rottenncss.
senator BANDS West Union Rec
ord publishes a seven-column artt-
Gle, making a terrible arraignment
Of the Democratic press. Senator
BIand's newspaper says:
This is one of the very, very few
Democratic journals that have the
courage to denOunce the fottenness
In the Democratic party
Senator Bland was on the scene
at Charleston last winter and this
spring and he doubtless knows
whereof his newspaper speaks. He
evidently has kept good tab on
the Democratic press of the state as
shown by what his newspaper says
as quoted. Senator Bland is not
believed to have an AXE to grind,
and therefore, the words OF his
newspaper as stated should have
great weight.
senator Bland may make the sub
stdized Democratic state machine
nregs cringe and the bosses mad but
he will and that the former will
continue to do the bidding of the
latter. He has no easy task to rid
his party of its rottenness under
those circumstances.

There are possibilities among the

while the peculiar growth Of many is
a subject of interest to all plant low

1t Is the popular supposition that
they must not be watered freely. In
fact there are certain seasons when
this holds true-during the dormant
period; but when a plant shows indi-
cation of new growth 1t should then
have an abundance Of water.
There are several different types of
cacti. the phyllocactus. or leafy-
stemmed variety being among the
most popular. These form handsome
plants at all seasons and produce
some Of the most magnificent flowers
known to the tribe.

most frequently seen, though there is
pink one with trumpet-shaped bios
