Dangers so grave, according to DR.. H.
w. Wiley, chief chemist of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, lurk in the ordinary
headache remedy that he has determined
to institute an investigation under the pure
food and drug act. Many cases in which
death has followed the taking OF remedies,
said DR.. Wiley have been brought to his
attention of late. Headache powders,
said DR.. Wiley, usually contain large
quantities OF acetanilid, phenacetin, anti
pyrine or caffeine, all of which affect the
heart more or less. The powders, ac-
cording TO DR.. Wiley, contain larger pro-
portion OF these drugs than any phj Sician
would think of prescribing.

A CARD.

In order that no miSapprehension may
exist in The public mind as to the attitude
of the No-LicenSe Committee in the mat
ter of the election held in Charles Town
on the 4th inst, desire TO say that this
election was not held at our instance or
request, but at the special instance OF the
council of Charles Town, as will appear
from the language of the call, and was to
be without prejudice 10 the movement
in town and county, having for its aim a
petition to the County Court. The tirst
and second clauses OF said call are as fol-
lows:
"lst. That the legal voters of the town
be requested to give expression OF their
will in this matter at an election TO be held
on Thursday, May 4th, 1911.
"2d. That this section is taken without
prejudice to the movement in our town
and county having for its aim a petition
to our honorable County Court against
the granting of license in town and coun-
ty."
If the result of the town election had
been different, we would have worked
lust as hard as ever TO make the whole
county dry.
John T. COLSTON, Chairman.

have no hesitation in saying that they
are the best kidney medicine on the
market. often became dizzy and ner-
vouS and suffered intensely from back
ache.-The kidney secretions were very
unnatural and finally my condition became
so bad that had to go to the hospital.
The treatment received there did not
improve my condition in the least, and
also took doctors prescriptions without
benefit. AT last was led to take Doan's
Kidney Pills, obtaining them at Hills

And in heaven with Joy 10 greet thee,
Where no farewell tears are shed.

THE United States Supreme Court has
rendered decision to the effect that the
Standard Oil Company is conspiracy
and an illegal corporation, and orders that
ihe company be dissolved within six
months. This decision is one that will
be of benefit to the country, for if means
that other trusts will also be dissolved.
Nevertheless, the millennium has not yet
arrived. The Standard Oil Company has
absolutely unlimited resources and it will
nod on to its present advantages as long
IS il has breath.

In our opinion, the Democrats OF the
West Virginia Legislature are making a
serious mistake in obStructing the passage
of the primary election law that is desired
by such a large proportion OF the party
and which was declared for in unmiStak-
able language by the last State conven-
ton. A primary election law is a move
for better political methods and a blow
at corruption, and opposition to ii is an
admission that honesty and decency are
not desired. Those who are seeking the
defeat of this measure are neither frank
nor sincere in their attitude. The lead
erS of the opposition on the Democratic
side say that il is scheme OF the Repub-
licans to regain control of the State, but
they give no reason showing how this can
be done. Their alleged fear that the Leg
islature will adopt a law that will help fhe
Republicans and injure the Democrats is
shallow and puerile, for no such bill could
be forced through Legislature whose
two branches are controlled by different
political parties. If it isn't fair to the
Democrats, it could never get through
the House, while if it is harmful to the
Republicans it can not pass the Senate.
Present conditions absolutely prevent
partisan legislation and are ideal for the
enactment of fair political measures. We
confess that we have no sympathy with
expressions that refuse to give Governor
G1aSScock credit for a single unSelfSh
impulse. We regard him as an entirely
fair and patriotic man who places his duty
to the State above mis- obligation to his
party.
The people gave the Democrats vote
of confidence last fall. We very sincere
ly hope that this confidence may not be
betrayed by those who blindly or delb-
erately fail in their duty because selfish
interests of party bosses are to be sub
served.

The Special Session.

The special session OF the West Viz
ginia Legislature, called by Governor
GIasscock to consider primary election
law and amend the present corrupt prac-
tees act, met in Charleston on Tuesday.
The Governor sent in his message, which
was read in both houses. He quoted the
platform pledges of the two major polltI-
cal parties, cites their promises TO enact
a general primary election law for tie
nomination of all candidates for public Oh
flee, and pleads for the enactment OF a
corrupt practices act which will safeguard
the ballo. boxes of this State. The Gov
ernor included certain data with reference
TO the statutes of the Virginia debt litlga-
ton, appending the recent opinion OF the
Supreme Court of the United States ;. the
request of the Virginia Debt Commission
for conference between the two States
and his reply to that request. Discussing
a corrupt practices act, Governor Glass
cock charged that elections and primaries
have been corrupted by lavish use OF
money. He said 4: THAT candidates for
office have been spending large sums OF
money illegally and corruptly cannot be
denied. know that we cannot legislate
honesty into the people, but we can and
we ought to have laws that will disfran-
chise those who corrupt the electorate,
and no man should be permitted to be
the beneficiary of crime committed by
him against society"
Senator Chiffon is on hand directing
the opposition to the primary election
law, which is vigorously opposed by the
Watson Chiffon wing OF the party. They
gained point in the House, when by a
vote of AZ to 80 a resolution was adopted
creating special committee OF q, to be
appointed by the speaker, to consider all
election measures. This was done in or
der to take such bills from the judiciary
committee, headed by Delegate Camp
bell, who favors primary law. This
same special committee is to have charge
of any resolutions that may be introduced
to investigate the charges OF bribery made
in connection with the election OF United
States Senators last winter
