II should not escape the reading
public that Governor Glasscock
stands for a number of progressive
measures the legislature recently
Jailed to enact into law. It is
worthy OF note also that not only
many Republican newspapers know
that he is earnestly advocating
these progressive measures but also
a number OF Democratic newspapers
have implicit faith in his earnest
ness OF purpose and are upholding
him in the insistence that some OF
these measures at least shall become
law. However, it is more than
barely possible that there will have
to ;be campaign of education and
strong pressure brought to bear be
fore the present legislature would
consent 10 the enactment Of these
measures.
Il night be possible to get some
OF the bills through, If the governor
should limit the number. but the

Senator Mc1ntire OF the eastern
part OF the state was Header
who did the combines bidding at
Charleston during the recent session
of the legislature. He was regarded
by the interests as the strong man
of the Democratic end of that body
and some newspapers entertain
the deluslon that he is really a great
man, Perhaps he is, hut one of his
home newspapers has quite a diff
ferent estimate OF him as. the follow
ing in the shepherdstown Register,
edited and published by Harry l.,
Snyder, staunch Democrat, shows:
The Martinsburg World says that
Senator Mc1ntire was one OF the
most conspicuous figures in the leg
islature, actively engaged in every
matter.
This is quite true. The astute
crowd of political tricksters from
Kanowha county who controlled a
considerable number of state sena-
tors found in Senator McIntire a
perfect subject. Whenever they
pulled the, strings he went through
the motions He made the noise
that drowned the creeking OF the ma
chtne-he raised the fog that CON
cealed the real mantpulators OF the
Senate. The schemes were formu-
lated by the past masters in Charles
aon who wanted results without per-
sonal notoriety, and Mr.. MeIntire
was the lay figure that appeared in
the public eye. From the time he
struck Charleston ana gave out that
famous interview stating that his
constituents were for Watson and
Chiffon, until he made the last bluff
in the closing hours of the Senate,
he was a man who moved as his real
masters at the state capital directed
not as the people of his district
desired.
Oh, yes! Mr.. NcIntire was. so
thoroughly conspicuous that ire
sistSbly we are reminded of the brill
liant poem Of Tom Pence, the
genius of the Tar+Heel state:
de bigger dat you see de smoke,
DE less de fire will be;
An de leastest kind of 'possum
Klimbs de biggest kind Of tree"

IAN honest Democratic exchange
has the following editorial para
graph in its latest issue, which the
people generally heartily endorse,
except the class mentioned therein
as sought to be served by the last
democratic governor Of West vir-
ginia:
THE people of the state should be
thankful that the tax laws were not
monkeyed with nor the tax COM
office abolished. The
bin would have been a
disaster to the plain people. however
acceptable it would have been to the
corporations.
While the paragraph is short, it
refers to Senator MacCorkle plainly
enough to arraign him as tool OF
corporate interests, and the recent
record OF MacCorkle substanttates
the arraignment.
AS the exchange says, the people
truly have cause to be thankful that
Maecorkle failed to get his scheme

Findlcy and His Trust.

hudson Findley addressed
the city council as follows last night
in u written communication
iAs chairman of the executive
committee Of the Citizens League o;
the city Of harrisburg, West Yir-
ginia, j respectfully request the APP
pointment OF the following named
persphs to serve as challengers and
commissioners in the wards" etc.
\ MIR Findley then proceeds to
name all Democrats for the places.
The letter to the council indicates
that MIR: Findley assumed full re-
sponstbility in selecting the officers
and did not consult the party or Its
committeeman.
The question naturally arises
among manyiof the league why Mr..
tTindley appears to be attempting to
turn the league over to the Demo
cratic party. There is a strong sus-
picion that he has betrayed the
trust reposed in him by the
league. 3

Corn Questions.

In the third number OF school
Agriculture" which deals with corn,
."the American cereal" Prof. D. W.
Working asks some curious ques-
lions about the word corn as it is
used in the Bible. The lesson en-
titled What Corn Is begins With
a quotation from Genesis-'FAnd
Joseph gathered corn as the sand OF
the sea, until he left OFF number
ing" Then the corn lesson goes
ION:
Many readers of the Bible have
been puzzled by the use of the word
corn. In the familiar story CT
Joseph, corn is frequently men
toned. The forH-second chapter OF
Genesis begins by reciting that
when Jacob saw that there was
corn in Egypt he proposed to his
sons that they so down to the land
of the Pharaohs to buy food for
themselves and their little ones and
their cattle. Was this corn of the
Egyptians the same as ours?"
When Ruth, the Moabitess went
to Bethlehem with her widowed
mother-ia-law in the beginning of
the harley havest, she asked per-
mission to CLEAN ears OF corn in the
fields OF Boaz. Was our. Indian
corn common in the fields of Pales-
tine in those days? or, was the
young woman asking for the priv
Iilege of picking what We call roast
ing ears? And when Sampson
burned the standing corn of the
Philistines by setting fire TO the tails
of three hundred foxes and turning
them loose in the field, was it the
American cereal that he de-
stroyed?"
To all these questions Prof.
Working gives answers with an en-
phatic no. In the BGple corn
means grain. Curiously enough,
the worn corn seems to be used In
