THE indictment of Postmaster Sherman
c. Denham. Of Clarksburg, is likely to
have serious effect upon State and nation
al politics so far as West Virginia is con-
cerned. Former Congressman Hubbard
and other decent Republicans tried hard
to Dust Denham and, insisting on his
right to name the postmaster, Mr.. Hubbard
induced President Taft to appoint another
man for the place. But Senator Scott
waded in and used every influence to
keep Denham in office, whereupon Post
MASTER General Hitchcock, with Presi-
dent Taft conserving, declined to give the
place to the Hubbard appointee and Den
ham was retained. Now the President.
the Postmaster General and former Sen.
ator Scott find themselves in the unpleas-
ant predicament of standing sponsor for
a man who has four indictments for fell
ony hanging over his head.
This unpleasant incident shows the
sort of Republicans that President Taft's
administration is tying itself up with-for
we have little doubt that the West Viz
ginia brand is its choice in other States
also.

What's The Reason -?
Many Shepherdstown People In Poor
Health Without Knowing
the Cause.

There are scores of people who drag
out miserable existence without realiz-
ing the cause OF their suffering. Day at
ter day they are racked with backache
and headache; suffer from nervousness,
dizziness, weakness, languor and depreS-
sion. Likely the kidneys have fallen be-
hind in their work of filtering the blood
and that is the root of the trouble. Look
to your kidneys, assist them in their work
give them the help they need. You
can use no better remedy than Doan's
Kidney Pills-endorsed by over one hum
dred thousand people, and by your neigh
Dor in Shepherdstown.
Mrs. Sarah Custer, Shepherdstown, w.
Va, SAYS: al know that Do2n's Kidney
Pills act just as represented and thus do
not hesitate to recommend them. My
kidneys were inactive and caused Eie
great annoyance. My back ached almost
constantly and felt weak. Soon after !
began taking Doan's Kidney Pills, pro-
cured at Hills Pharmacy, my trouble
was relieved and enjoy much better
health"

A SENSATION was created at Clarks-
burg last Friday when a special grand
jury returned four felony indictments
against Sherman c. Denham, the political
boss of that section and the postmaster at
Clarksburg, for alleged embezzlement
and grand larceny when he was deputy
sheriff of Harrison county. AT the same
time six indictments were found against
John g. Lang and A. A. Lang for similar
offenses. For many years Clarksburg and
Harrison county have been dominated
and plundered by the boldest and most
uuscupulous gang Of political graners
that this State has ever known. Nearly
everybody knew OF the rascality OF the
members Of the ring, but they were so
firmly entrenched. controlling the courts
and almost every other source of influ-
ence, and being the center OF the most
powerful political influence in the State,
that it seemed impossible to bring them
10 justice. But retribution comes, soon
or late, and when the State Tax Commits
sioner exposed such fragrant frauds the
ring was busted" II may be that the
politicians involved will be able to escape
adequate punishment. but they are dis
credited and undone, and il the people OF
Harrison county do not now clean house
1t will be because they prefer filth to de-
ccucy.

CONGRESS worked itself into fever
the past week and passed resolutions re-
sulting in the abrogation of the treaty be-
tween the United States and Russia be-
cause Russia, il is alleged, doesn't pay
proper respect to passports held by Jew
ish citizens of the United States. Some
how we think that Congress has been a
bit hasty in this matter, for both sides are
probably seeking the support OF the Jew
ish vote. Those Russian Jews are, nc
doubt, badly treated, but it must also be
remembered that they "holler" many
time before they are hurt.

Catarrh Cannot be Cured

with local applications, as they cannot
reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is
a blood or constitutional disease, and in
order to cure il you must take internal
remedies. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, and acts directly on the blood
mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh Cure is
not a ouack medicine. II was prescribed
by one OF the best physicians in this coun-
try for years and is regular prescription.
II is composed OF the best tonics known,
combined with the best blood purifiers,
acting directly on the mucous surfaces.
The perfect combination Of the two in
gradients is what produces such wonder
tul results in curing Catarrh. Send for

We think that il is about time for West
Virginia Democrats to give up the fight
against the Tax Commissioners office.
We have always contended that it was
one of the most useful departments ofou
State government, and il has paid for it:
support over and over again the money
il has received from delinquent officials,
II it had never done any other good thing
however, its existence would be justified
by IFS work in uncovering the rottenness
in Harrison county and breaking up the
ring at Clarksburg.

THE raid on flicitliquor saloons in Mar
tinsburg last Saturday night again brings
to light the infamous policy OF the United
States government in granting license to
whiskey sellers to violate State and mu-
nicipal laws. This is an outrageous thing,
and il must be corrected by congressional
action. The fellows who so boldly vio-
late the State laws would not dare to de-
fy Uncle Sam, and there can be no proper
restraint Of this traffic until Uncle Sam
gets decent.
If one Congress refuses to remedy this,
another Congress can be elected that
will provide relief.
