Iudge Beckwith summed up the case

Judge Beckwith summed up the case
for the temperance people in the ablesi
and most dignified manner, making his
points with great clearneSS and with If
resistible logic. Every point OF import
ance that had been presented by Col.
Brown was met fairly and squarely, and
Judge Beckwith's argument was unusual
ly forcibIe and impressive. His heart
was in the cause he presented, and no
man could have been more faithful and
effective. That the people were with
him was shown very conclusively by the
spontaneous and frequent applause. He
did a big days work-and the best OF it
was that it was without any desire for re-
ward, for Captain ColSton shouted out so
that all could hear, when reference had
been made TO "hired lawyers" that
Judge Beckwith not only charged no fee,
but willingly paid out his own money for
the good of the cause. His handling OF
this great case was to the entire satisfac-
ton of those WHO had made him their
leader.
Col. Brown made the concluding argu-
ment for his clients, and there was no
question as to his earneStnesS. Recog-
nized as one of the leaders of the Jetter-
son bar, he used his ability and training
as lawyer to best advantage, but he had
a mighty poor cause and he could no
but recognize that he was in a very I'M
friendly atmosphere. The fact that some
of the liquor men applauded him once in
while, and that whoop now and then
emanated from the gallery reserved for
the colored contingent, could not offset
the very apparent opposition OF great
majority of the audience. The Colonel
had been raped pretty hard by several
of his fellow-townsmen who had pre-
viously spoken and who had taken liber-
ties with the statements in his opening
remarks, and he replied to these with
some asperity, also taking fling at va
rious other speakers. He ridiculed the
Temperance movement and sought to
show that regulation and not prohibition
was the correct thing. He unquestiona-
bly, did his best for his clients, but he had
not much ammunition for this particular oc-
casion, and the dead silence that greeted
the conclusion of his remarks was not
encouraging.
II was after four O'Clock when both
sides announced that they had finished,
and, after few moments consultation,
the court decided to adjourn until Tues
day without announcing its decision.
Wearied with the all-day sitting, but still
hopeful and full OF fight, the audience
dispersed, feeling that it was an epoch
making day IN Jefferson county.
Tuesday morning the court again as
sembled, and after few preliminaries
announced its decision. BY a vote OF
three to two ii was determined to refuse
all licenses, President Nelson T. Snyder
and Commissioners J. VIM, Rider and
Nelson X. Roberts voting against license,
and Commissioners John c. Burns and
Daniel Heflebower voting in favor. The
news was quickly flashed over the coun-
ty, and earnest prayers OF thanksgiving
went up from thousands OF hearts that
rejoiced because great curse and evil
was to be removed from Our community.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustactian Tube
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to IFS
normal condition, nearing will be destroy
ed forever; nine cases out of ten are caus-
ed by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
intlamed condition of the mucous surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catanh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catanh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.

Alta meeting last week of representa-
tives of temperance people held at the
Waldo Hotel in Clarksburg, an organiza-
ton known as the Ratification Fedora
ton, the object being to begin cam
paign in every county for the adoption OF
a prohibition amendment, was effected.
The executive committee of the new or
ganization will be composed of the fol-
lowing persons: DR.. T. c. Johnson, OF
Charleston, representing the Prohibition
party; Rev. T. M. Hare, of Charleston,
representing the Anti-Saloon League
and Mrs. Ella YoSt, of Morgantown, rep
resenting the w. c. T. U. The organi-
zation thus effected will mean a vigorous
effort on the part ofthe temperance forces
during the campaign to carry the State
for the prohibition amendment.

DR.. A. ]. Lyons, superintendent of the
Second Hospital for the Insane at Spen-
Ger, w. Va, died suddenly last Thursday
from an attack Of tonsilitis. DR.. Lyons,
who was 80 years of age, was man OF
great ability, and his management of the
great institution in his charge was of the
highest order. He was recognized as a
most competent official, and his death is
distinct loss to the State of West Viz
GINA. He is survived by his wife and
three children.

THERE will be little opposition to Pres
ident Taft's denomination. His friends
want it as forlorn hope, his enemies in
his own party are just crazy to show
what they can do to him at the polls, and
the Democrats are praying that he will
get the nomination, for he will be about
the easiest man in the country 10 whip.

AS was briefly stated last week, the
West Virginia Legislature adjourned
without passing the primary election law
demanded by the people, promised by
both parties, and 10 enact which Cover
Eor GlaSScock had called the Legislature
in special session. The failure to pass
the law was directly attributable TO the
party leaders, for, so far as We have OBJ
served, there has been little change in
public sentiment on the subject. II was
a case of plain murder of worthy meas
ure. The Democratic majority in the
House passed bill that it was perfectly
sure would be rejected by the Senate,
while the Republican Senate adopted a
measure that il knew for certainty
would not be adopted by the House.
When each had done its poor part, both
houses adjourned, neither side making
any effort to get together on common
ground.
The whole proceeding was so childish
and absurd as to be absolutely ridiculous.
There was no honest attempt on the part
OF the leaders in either house to enact a
law, but, probably acting upon direct or
ders from the bosses higher up, they
spent the time in political fiasco so
crude and Grass that no man Of sense can
be deceived.
One political party can be blamed no
more strongly than the other, for both
submitted TO the same influence. 1t up
to the voters, therefore, to try to send
men to the next Legislature who will
carry out the wishes of the people instead
of the mandates OF selfish bosses.

THE people of this country have vast

the Senate out of its place. The crafty,

THE Senate last week passed a reSolu-
ton to again investigate the methods by
which Senator Lorimer, of Illinois, won
his seat in that body, but the investigation
is in the hands of a committee that will
probably delay action until Lorimer's
term expires. Still almost everybody be-
Ieves that he is guilty of the most outra-
geous corruption, and if Senators wish to
associate with such man they should be
permitted to do so.

THE action of the County Court of JET
ferson county in refusing to issue any Ii
censeS for saloons represents, we think,
the best public sentiment of our people.
We are told that no cause ever presented
TO the court has been so overwhelmingly
backed up by the people, for while there
were less than 5000 votes cast at the last
general election, 1000 voters signed their
names to the petition asking that no Ii
censes be granted, and certainly there
must have been hundreds who would
have signed could the petition have been
put before them. In addition to this,
about 300 citizens the county, including
many OF our most prominent business
and professional men and taxpayers,
showed their interest by appearing be-
fore the court on Monday and giving their
influence to the cause, evincing an earn
estnesS that is not often shown in public
questions.
The editor of the Register is among
those who hoped that every member of
the court would havevoted against license.
There are, of course, many other persons
who would have greatly preferred to see
them all vote the other way. But there
is one point upon which we must all
agree, and that is that the five commits
sioners composing the court acted hon.
estly upon their own judgment after a
fair hearing and square deal TO both
sides. None OF them was influenced by
improper motives or preiudices. Every
man in that body is entitled to the respect
OF our people, for we are sure that they
voted with full appreciation of the i'm
portance OF the question before them and
with the desire to discharge their duty
honestly and faithfully. We hope and
believe that the wisdom of the majority
will be justified in the minds of the mi
rority and of the people generally.
