Its Brand.

Serious objection is made by the
Sairmont Times to situation in
which prominent Democrats and a
part of the Democratic press uphold
the governors action in asking the
legislature to keep the pledges both
political parties made to the people
roncerning the enactment of pri-
mary election law. There is more
than an intimation by the Times
that It would give the governor no
praise for any good deed on the
ground that he is Republican and
It's brand of politics is such that it
sees no good in anyone except those
who do the bidding of its masters.
Listen to the Times as follows and
hen judge for yourself:
1T IS not hard to convince the in
;elligent Democratic voters of West
Virginia that the Democratic news
,apers and Democratic would-be
leaders, whose utterances are being
quoted and applauded by the Repub-
|ican press and the administration
gang at Charleston are not working
over time in the interest OF the Dem
ocratlc party. When a Democrat is
being patted on the back by Bill
Dawson and Governor Glasscock,
there is omething seriously sus-
piclous about his brand of Democ-
racy no matter what claims he may
set up.

insurance Aeainst IdIeness,

Germany has long been in the lead
OF the world in the matter Of insur-
anre. There, companies have, like
those in other parts of the world,
insured against fire, water, winds,
accident, death, old age and other
contingencies, but the latest is in
surance against idleness. Under
the provision of the old age insur-
ance, employees have a percentum
taken from their wages, employers
are forced to contribute percent
age and the government stands a
certain proportion. Now, insurance
against idleness is proposed. 1t in
sures that the holder will be en-
abled to retire when he becomes in
firm and enjoy ease for the rest of
his life.
In charlottenburg, the Wheeling
News says, the plan for insuring
against idleness has been suggested
and it provides that a workman
must have lived in the town at least
one year, and his last employer
must have had shop or factory
thefe. The idleness must not have
been caused by sickness, accident,
lockout or strike. The subsidy
ceases with refusal of employment
or Unemployment within sixty
days. A committee decides on suit
ability Of employment.
The workman must pay five cents
n week for the risk. The reason
that illness or accident is not in

cause the workman is already in

What VIII Become OF the RecaIl2
The Cincinnati Times3star in re
viewing the recall, which chas been
placed In effect in some western
cities which have taken the front
ranks in other fanatieal theories,
has the following interesting com
ment:
tTt won't be long before certain
parts OF the West. which have beeH
particularly speedy in adopting the
recall, begin to shout for the aban,
donment Of the peculiar institution
The recent experiment. of Taco
ma, Wash, is fair example Of
what the recall means in practice
That city has had three mayoralty
elections, with the usual accom-.
panIments Of red fire. abuse and
political turmoil. within less than a
year Eleven months ago the town
chose A. v. Fawcett, an ardent sup
porter of the recall, as mayor. Two
or three weeks ago an effort was
made to remove him at a recall
election. The result was indecisive,
none of the candidates receiving
enough votes to carry the day.
%on Tuesday the politicians OF
Tacoma had 1t out again, and this
time the result was decisive; Faw-
cett, the radical, was recalled and
w w. Seymour, millionaire, took
his place. AS for Mayor Seymour,
ne will remain in office until some
body makes up his mind that it
would Ebe a good thing to recall him.
Then there will be another cam
paign and another struggle at the
polls. How long Tacoma will stand
for this sort Of thing. and how many
municipal elections that city will be
called upon to pass through within
the four-year term for which Faw-
3ett was supposed to have been
elected, nobody knows.
"The old system of representative
government has done pretty well
through more than century. Of
American history. Perhaps it has
not worked perfectly-few human
Institutions do. But it 1T has done
pretty well, for more than hundred
years. Who believes that the new

iar Il has had smooth sailing, not
withstanting the lower branch OF
congress which passed It by. an
oEei gheining vote. Is opposed pollt-
ically to the President.
Whether Governor Glasscock has
drafted a primary election law. the
public does not know as yet, and MAJ
turally 4 is to be supposed that he
would not convene the legislature in
extraordinary session without a
rough draft at least Of what he ex-
poets done, but he has not made the
same public.
IT Is scarcely to be believed that
the chief executive Of the state
would rush into this matter lnpre-
pared and merely with view OF
asking the Legislature to thresh out
something along the line OF pri-
mary election law.
However, so far as the general
public is concerned there Is absolute
ignorance. The press is in the dark.
1t strikes this newspaper that the
governor or some one else who ex-
poets something OF substantial ma
ture along the line of legislation on
this subject should submit to the
public an outline at once.
The people want a better law, but
they would like to know something
about what the legislature is likely
to do before they give unqualified
endorsement.
There is more than bare posi-
blilty, in the event the legislature
does pass bill along this line
that a most unsatisfactory situation
may result
The governors intention is not IN
question. 1t IS accepted generally
that he means for the best. But, II
he has anything to affer, the public
may well he taken into his conf
dence.
All the people know now, is that.
the governor wants good primary
law passed that will guarantee
fair, square. honest elections.
They would be better able to size
up what law would mean, if they
could but read 1T, and, If they could
read and study In detail what the
governor purpogestto offer or to rec
ommend. their support would a'be
stronger and the pressure they
would bring to bear on. the legisl9-
ture would be effective.
SIT is hoped that Governor Glass
cock may be able to, give the, public
this useful information before the
meets. @ {

: IT appears that at least one or
two West Virginia Democratic news
papers have entered into compact
with Virginia newspapers to further
the latter's campaign in behalf of
the Virginia creditors in the old

being copied from the latter by the
former bearing on the case and

1t is heralded that the West vir-
gInia Democratic members of the
House OF Representatives did not
approve Of amending the Canadian
reeiprocity bill, Some time ago
Senator Watson advocated an
amendment 50 as to place coal on

Watson then recognized the fact
that such amendment would tend to
abrogate an agreement reached be.

advocated by President Taft would

Here's a beautiful sentiment on

Chronicle. It isn't original, but it is
something that is particularly worthy
of emulation, right at this time among
Anglo-Saxon people-particularly and
especially among a greater part OF
the American people. 1t comes from
a file Of 1861, and caught the eye by
chance. Read it; it might start new
line of thought among the sentiments
and ideas which surround us OF today:

a large family of grown SONS and

Missionary Address.

1t was the privilege of the congre-
CATION of Cannon's Creek on the fifth
Sabbath of October to hear a mission
ary address by Miss Rosalyn Summer,
a member of the faculty of the New
berry graded schools.
Miss Summers whole heart and
mind seemed to be aroused on mis-
sions. She spoke for one hour, in
which she held the close attention of
the congregation. She quoted from
the Bible and applied it to our every
day life, and showed that our careless
ness in the cause of missions was
largely from selfshness. She said it
was not how much we give, but how
much we keep for self.
Miss Summer has the faculty OF
reaching the people and getting up
an interest. She is a forcible speak
er.
Miss Summer expects to go out at
some future time as a missionary of
the Lutheran church. If the Luther
ans decide that they don't need her IN
their force, the A. r. P.'s will take
and send her.
The very least that We could say OF
the address is that it was one of the
finest that We have ever heard. We
bespeak a very bright future for Miss
Summer in her chosen work.
