Before scientific meeting OF the Med
icaI and Chirurgical faculty in Baltimore
a few days ago, DR.. w. H. Peterman,
one OF the leading authorities on the
throat in the United States, declared that
rheumatism was not due to uric acid or
exposure, as has been thought for the
past century, but was caused by the ton
sils. He stated that the tonsils OF child
were necessary before it reached the age
of six years. After a person reaches the
age of twenty-one years, however, the
tonsils should have disappeared. If they
have not they will eventually become
diseased, and the germ of rheumatism
will enter the system through them. II
the tonsils are removed the rheumatism
will disappear in nine cases out of every
ten, where the disease has not been seat
ed long enough TO destroy the tissues.
Experiments have recently been made in
the city with six persons afflicted with
rheumatism. Their tonsils were removed
and the rheumatism disappeared. Since
then they have not suffered with the af-
fiction.

Tenth. As to matters coming before
council and being referred to the respec-
tive committees whose duty If IS to in
vestigate and report to Council TOR IFS
final action, let me say that the present
administration has found that such rule
has had a tendency to the betterment OF
the towns affairs Important questions
are carefully looked into by the different
committees and their reports are prepared
with the idea of putting before council
all the facts in any case referred to them.
But the council has the final action in the
matter and all citizens are invited to at
tend these meetings.
Taken all in all, this attack upon the
administration is one of the most uncalled
for as well as untrue articles published in
any Shepherdstown paper for years, and
is plainly intended to convey the idea
that the town officers are not competent
to manage its affairs. The article is un-
qleStionably from the pen OF one who
has very large value set upon his own
importance. and his wilful ignorance OF
any of the facts in question shows how
shallow he really is Had he been hall
as wise as he would have the public be-
lieve, he would have gone TO the town
officers and asked any questions he wish
ed answered, and the officer or the coun-
Gil would have answered and explained
to this hypercritica "S." any supposed
errors he may have imagined existed in
the published statement. However, from
the tremendous majoritieS given the
"Martin" tickets during the past three
years, we feel sure that the public have
full confidence in the administration, and
let a." as well as the public, feel sure
that this confidence is not misplaced.
The towns affairs will be carefully and
properly looked after this year as in the
past two years that the present policies
have been in force The writer, as well
as the entire council and officers, take
this opportunity to thank more than a
hundred friends who have within the past
week expressed their confidence in the
officers of the town and their contempt
for "S."
In conclusion, let me say to 49," and
all OF his kind, that whenever he desires
any information as to the corporations
affairs, LET him come before council when
in session and the information will be
given, or-you will be referred to
committee"

week passed the bill providing for the

ance with the population shown by the
recent federal census. BY the reappor-

of the House is increased from 39l to 443.
West Virginia will have six Congressman
instead of five, the increase of population
in the past ten years being sufficient to
give us one more member. AS il is i'm
probable that there will be rearrange-
ment of the districts in this State before
the next election, one of the Congress
men will have to be elected at large.

WE hope that the members OF the Leg
islature will not be confused by the fog
that is being raised by the professional
politicians over the proposed primary
election law. Both parties have declared
for such a law and the rank and file Of
the voters of both parties want it. With
few exceptions, those who oppose the
measure are political manipulatorS OF the
baser sort who are influenced chiefly by
personal consideration or partisan ad-
vantage, and have no real interest in the
public good. In our opinion, the really
good time to pass primary election law
is when neither party has partisan con-
troll, as at present, for then there can be
no question as TO its fairness. The DEM
ocratS would show wisdom by preparing
and passing through the House fair and
honest bill, and then let the responsibility
for its passage by the Senate rest upon
the Republican majority in that body.
