In accordance with his intention ex-
pressed some weeks ago, Governor
Glasscock on Tuesday issued formal
call for the West Virginia Legislature to
meet in extraordinary session on Tues
day, May 10th, to consider primary
election law, including the nomination OF
candidates for the United States Senate
and to amend and re-enact the corrupt
practices act, a kindred law, and to make
appropriations for the current expenses
of the session.
Both of the political parties have
pledged themselves to enact primary
election law, along the same lines that
have proven efficacious in other States,
and the people undoubtedly want such
a measure enacted. The professional
politicians are opposing it. however, and
having in vain tried to prevent the Gov
ernor from calling an extra session, they
will try to kill il in the Legislature. They
may possibly succeed in this, but men,
bers of the Legislature will have to show
their colorS.
We commend Governor GlaSscock for
again courageously doing his duty as he
sees it.

For the first time in great many years
a really honest effort is being made in
Congress for the passage OF laws that
have for their object the benefit OF the
people generally instead of the advance
ment of personal interests. corporate
gain or political advantage. In the
House OF Representatives last week two
important measures were shot through
the House with not an hours unneces-
sary delay-the bill providing for the di-
rect election of United States Senators
and the bill requiring publicity OF cam
paign contributions both before and after
elections. This week the House is con-
sidering the Canadian reciprocity bill,
and as soon as il is out OF the way the
measure placing number of articles on
the free list that are now subject 10 high
tariff will be taken up.
The Democratic majority in the House
has successfully pushed its programme
for progressive legislation so far with
pIdSl(dl ulldlllllltl L uS NSpuOllSdll
minority, led by the antiquated standpat-
tiers like Mann and Cannon, has sought
to obstruct the passage OF these bills, but
it has been gently but firmly forced from
the track so that the legislative train
could pass swiftly on.
Every measure agreed upon in the
Democratic caucus is good one for the
people of the country, and has public
sentiment behind it. That the represent
tatIves OF the corporations and special in
terests will seek to delay and prevent the
passage of these bills through the Senate
is to be expected, but if the Democrats
in that body shall show the good sense
and patriotism exhibited by their breth-
rem in the House, success will attend
them there, for there are enough insur-
gent Republicans favoring the PROPOSE
tions to insure majority.
Champ Clark has proven himself a
leader of sound sense and honesty. 1t is
up to Senator Martin to win similar
reputation in the Senate.

Elk lake, in Sullivan county, concealed
for time one of the deepest of Penn
Sylvania's criminal mysteries. Nearly
fifty years ago John Veitengruber, a lit
tie old cobbler, who lived near the lake,
disappeared. No trace of him could be
found. All during the covered and
ice-bound winter officers of the law made
search for the little old German or his
body. He seemed to have vanished as
completely as if the earth had swallowed
him up. The story is one of the most
exciting of The North Americans series
of Pennsylvania crime mysteries. All
who are interested in the criminal mys-
teries OF the State will want to read this
number of the series.
