Explanation On Amendment.

The prohibition amendment to
the state constitution was sub
Iniitted To a vote of the people by
the state senate on Tuesday, the
7th. by vote of % for the sub
mission and 7 against submits
sion, after passing the House Of
Representatives by a vote of 70
for and 9 against submission.
Mr.. Goodykoontz was one of the
lonesome, 9 in the House and our
two senator's, Hatfield and White,
were two of the lonesome 7 in the
senate. The renegades of this
county don't seem to carry very
much influence with them in the
legislature. The whole state is
on to them and their methods.
This means that at the next
general election, 1912, the people
of the state will decide by ma
jority vote whether there shall
be placed in our state constitu-
ton clause forever prohibiting
the manufacture and sale of in
toxicating liquors within our bor-
ders. While it requires two
thirds vote of each branch Of the
legislature to submit a vote to
amend the constitution, it only
requires a ma ority of the votes
of the people to adopt it. There
is no question about how the peo-
pie will vote. There are only
four counties in West Virginia
that grant license to saloons now,
except that there are six others
which have one wet town. The
four wet counties are Mingo, Nc
Dowell, Fayette and Ohio. After
the first day of July, 1913, there
will be no saloons in West Vir-
pinia.

Wrong Influence.

Out of eighty-six members of
the House of Representatives at
Charleston, Wells Goodykoontz,
who is at present fraudulently
misreprepresenting Mingo coun-
ty in that body, succeeded in get
ting eight men to vote with him
against the prohibition amend
ment after pretending to be
dry" here at the late municipal
election. He got one other man
to vote with him against the in
come tax amendment and had to
vote absolutely alone against the
proposition to elect u. S. senators
by direct vote. This is the man
the renegades have boosted as a
man of influence in the legisla-
ture.
Do you suppose George Wiles
would have insulted the intelli-
gence of the people of the state
by voting to refuse them the
privilege of deciding for them
selves whether they shall have
saloons in West Virginia? Do
you think he would have refused
the relief the people have so long
demanded in the election of SEN
ators and the tax on incomes?
No; Mr.. Wiles would have rep
resented the people in these mat
ters instead of the millionaires
and the whisky trust, if his seat
had not been temporarily stolen
by that same whisky ring in this
county.

CARNEGIE MIGHT
ENOOW TAT

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Andrew
Carnegie visited the White House to-
day and chatted for nearly an hour
with President Taft. The President
congratulated Mr.. Carnegie on his
gift of $1O,OOO,OOO to promote peace
among the nations.
The President laughingly added
that if Mr.. Carnegie had any more
tens of millions of dollars that were
mot working" he was sure some of
the Government departments could
use the money to advantage.
BY way of rejoinder Mr.. Carnegie
said that if he started providing the
Government with funds he would
surely begin with the Chief Execu-
tive.
Seriously speaking, the President
expressed his deep interest in the
new foundation. In addition to talk
ing with Mr.. Carnegie he had a long
conference with Senator Root, chair
man of the board of trustees. regard
ing the scope of the work to be UNI
dertaken.
Mr.. Carnegie told the President he
had great faith in humanity and be-
lieved that the time would not be
long before the settlement of interna-
tional difficulties by arbitration would
be assured Mr.. Carnegie's highest
hopes are pinned to a peace agree
ment among the English speaking
peoples.

Perry as a ballet dancer was a dis

SCOUT AIRSHIPS
FOR The navy

WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-Two
aeroplanes, or at least one two-seat-
ed machine, should constitute part of
the equipment of each of the scout
cruisers of the United States Navy.
That recommendation as the initial
step of the government in the actual
development of aerial navigation from
the standpoint of the navy is made in
a report to Secretary Meyer by Capt.
Washington I. Chambers, who was
delegated by the Secretary to study
the possibilities of the aeroplane in
naval warfare. In pursuance of his
mission Capt. Chambers attended all
the important aviation meets recently
held in this country and has kept in
close touch with the advances made
abroad.
Whatever may be the results OBJ
tanned from the future development
of aeroplanes for use on land" says
Capt Chambers, "a type or types
specially adapted to the naval SER
vice is yet to be developed. For this
reason l recommend the immediate
purchase of only such of the existing
aeroplanes' as are needed for the
tentative and progressive instruction
of our personnel in their USE" Capt
Chambers adds a recommendation
that $4,000 be appropriated by Con-
gress for experimental investigation
of the practical problems to be pres
ented during the progress of instruc-
ton and in the establishment of spe-
cial facilities for carrying on such
work in a systematic way"

Barnes and West Change.

81 know a cat that has never had
kittens" said Barnes to Miss West at
the Park theater. How is that?" was
the natural inquiry of Miss West. BE
cause it is not that kind of cat" was
the comprehensive reply. They know
a lot more funny little stories like that
and they all took the house. There
was a storm of applause for these two
capable artists, and they certainly add
ed to their reputation last night. They
changed their act completely. Barnes
comes out in a makeup, the like of
which has never been seen in Homo
lulu before, or anywhere else for that
matter, and he told some Irish stories
and sang an Irish song with a brogue
that was good. His stories and his
song were funny, and consequently
he went big. Miss West assisted him
especially in the dancing.
They are a pair of splendid dancers,
and they have yet to meet their equals
in Honolulu Their change of program
is far ahead of the straight" turn
they worked on their opening nights.
Barnes and West have firmly estab-
lished themselves. The Melnotte Sis
tiers are still appearing with success,
and there is a good selection of films.

DEAD LETTER SALE RECEIPTS.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-NearIy
$4,000 has been, added to the receipts
of the Post Office Department as the
result of the annual dead letter sale
which has just been completed. Sal
able articles found in I3O,495 undeIi-
verable parcels and letters were dis
posed of for $9,846. 80, from which has
to be deducted the incidental expens-
es of the same, including the auc-
tioneer's commission, leaving S.
7S9 % as the net proceeds.
The failure to restore the articles
to the owners is due, it is announced,
to the neglect of the senders to place
on the envelopes or wrappers their
own names and address, or to secure
ly inclose the articles when mailing
them.
