Review Of Political Situation ii
Mingo County.

While there is no open breach be-
tween those who manipulate the Re
publican end Of the political machine
in this county, there is an undercur-
rent Of dissatisfaction which is general
ly known to exist. It is so marked at
the present that later on 1t may de-
velop into disruption and dissolution.
Probably this would be good thing
to happen for the welfare of the county.
There are those among the compact
who have to do the dirty work of the
machine and there are others who
want to pose as leaders. receive the
emolnments and best paying offices,
without assuming any Of the responi-
bility for the illegal methods and open
fraud committed. These are some Of
the secret agitations which disturb the
equilibrium Of these men, just now
and it is to be hoped that some good
may come to the county from these diff
ferences. AT any rate the people will
have to watch and wait for the final
elimination and hope for the best.

Old Age Pension Bill.

The old-age pension bill introduced
by Congressman Victor Berger is fairly
disgusting. Only 81 a week for those
of us over 60 years of age who earn
less than So week.! Mr. Berger's
parsimony, his unconcern for the aged,
his callous indifference to the claims
Of humanity is amazing. It should be
$40 week and an automobile or MOTH
ing. This rich and populous country
can afford to be generous. Particr-
iariy pleasing, however, is Mr.. Ber-
gers provision that none Of the courts
should be permitted to pass upon the
bills constitutionaiity. AT this point
he shows real Legislative genius. The
only improvement to this clause that
can be suggested is that il any Judge
should venture to assume jurisdiction,
he should be regarded as in contempt
Of his own court and be sentenced to
imprisonment in law library for life.

The Cost az Living.

Writes the American consul at Mall
aga, Spain: THE problem Of greatly
increased cost of living is as acute
here as in the United States" And
wages, he says, are little higher than
they were 10 years ago. "All necessi-
ties Of life have gone up steadily in
price and there does not seem to be
any immediate relief This is the
story Of prices all the world over
where gold is the measure of values.
But in the United States at least wages
as rule have kept pace with the rise
of prices; yet nowhere is there such
popular ferment and outcry Of hard
ship and oppression over the higher
cost of living as in this country.

Communication.

We have received long communica-

county who is familiar with the his
tory Of the election frauds committed in
this county from the beginning to the
present time, detailing its growth, pro-
gress and continuance. Ittakes in the
governor Of the State, the Supreme
Court and prominent political leaders
actively engaged in the continuance of
these frauds. 1t was received too late
for publication in this issue on account
Of its length, but will appear at the
proper time. The article takes up the
Headly exposure in the Charleston
Gazette and gives reasons why these
frauds have been permitted to continue
and who is responsible for these crimes
against peace, dignity and liberties Of
the State as well as its reputation
abroad.

NEEDFUL KNOWLEDGE
Williamson People Should Learn to
Detect the Approach Of
Kidney Disease.

The symptoms of kidney trou-
BILE are so unmistakable that they
leave no ground for doubt. Sick
kidneys excrete a thick, cloudy,
offensive urine, full-of sediment,
irregular of passage or attended
by sensation Of scalding. The
back aches constantly, headaches
and dizzy spells may occur and
the victim is often weighed down
by a feeling of languor and fati-
que. Neglect these warnings
and there is danger of dropsy.
Any one of these symptoms is
warning enough toshegin treating
the kidneys at once. Delay often
proves fatal.
You can use no better remedy
than Doan's Kidney Pills. Here's
Williamson proof:
M. L. Persinger, Fourth Ave-,
Williamson. w. Va, says: Six
years ago / was afflicted with
backache and | had other symp-
toms of kidney trouble. The
doctor at Hot Springs, Ark. adj
vised me to try Doan's Kidney
Pills and | did so. They made
me well at that time and occas-
ional use since then has kept me
in good health. | recon mend
