The readers OF this paper will be pleas
ed to learn that there is at least one dread
ed disease that science has been able to
cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only positive
cure now known to the medical fraternity
Catarrh being constitutional disease,
requires constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system, thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers that they offer
One Hundred Dollars for any case that il
fails to cure. Send for list oftestimonials

Forty-five workmen employed at the
Western Maryland roundhouse in Ridge
ley, w. Va, just across the river from
Cumberland, went on strike last Saturday.
The men comprise the machiniSts and
motive-power repair force and all OF
their helpers. They demand a 10
percent increase in wages. Superintend-
ent Berry stated that the men demanded
10 per cent increase and that they were
asked to defer their request until this
week, when General Manager Sheppard
would be here to go over the matter with
them personally. He claims the men
would not consent TO this delay, and
therefore quit.

HORRORS There has been another
lynching bee in the North-right at the
walls OF the City of Brotherly Love. A
few days ago negro killed policeman
at Gainesville, a few miles from Philadel-
phia, whereupon bowling mob tore the
murderer from hospital, where, wound
ed, he was chained to bed, dragged
him mile through the streets, filled his
body with bullets and then burned the
carcass in the public road. II is thus re-
vealed that the habit OF lynching is not
confined to the South. Indeed, the
Pennsylvania crime is one which rarely
if ever occurs in the South, for when a
lynching takes place there it is usually
iuStifiable act for unspeakable villainY.
The Quakers ought to be ashamed OF
themselves.

What will he do with it?

SENATOR FRYE, OF Maine, died last
week, after serving for many years in the
United States Senate. His place will be
filled by a Democrat, thus giving Maine
two Democratic Senators. What strange
things are brought about by the whirlagig
OF time. If, a year ago, anyone would
have been so foolish as to predict that
in 1911 the four Senators from Maine and
West Virginia would all be Democrats,
he would have been regarded as a luna
:. And yet stranger thingS..Still are liza

THE Meat Trust has again raised the
price of its products, and thus shows its
contempt for the courts and the admins
tration of President Taft, which has met
with such poor success in its attempts to
regulate this Ubiquitous combination. The
Meat Trust robs a-gwine and a-comin'.
1t pays the stock-raisers only such prices
as it feels like paying, and it charges the
consumer such outrageous rates that the
people all ever the country are crying out
against the extotion.
We cannot but think that ifthere was any
real force in President Taft and his adviS-
ers that they could find some way to ulti-
mately protect the people from the exac-
tionS of the Meat Trust.

MOST persons give President TAFT
credit for being well-diSpoSed man, but
admit that he is the victim OF unwise or
improper advisers. Accepting these as
facts, why is tine President so stubbornly
opposing revision of tariff schedules that
he himself has acknowledged as bad,
"indefensible ?" The people want tariff
revision-they said so last fall when they
elected Democratic House and the
President will write his own death war
rant if he vetoeS the excellent measures
that have passed through Democratic
House and a Republican Senate.

The passage of the wool bill by both
the Senate and the House OF Representa-
tives puts the question OF partiSanShip or
patriotism squarely before President TAFT.
Patriotism demands that he approve the
measure, for the people OF the country
are pretty nearly solid in their desire for
relief from the exactionS of the Aldrich
wool schedule. A veto of the bill will
mean that the President prefers the par
tisan approval Of standpatterS, long ago
described.
What will he do with il?
