feast al Charleston the drst OF the
week. The Grafton Sentinel has a
very sensible editorial az follows on
that phase OF politics:
The great meeting OF the ReDub-
llcans at charleston this week. and
the action of the State Executive
Committee there in dispoBing of the
big questions before it stamp the
grand old party as Deing just as
worthy of the peoples confidence as
It has ever been. That confidence
had never been shaken until a short
time ago, but the people through
out the state are sick of their bad
bargain, and are simply waiting for
the chance to hand the Democratic
party of perhdy the mitten so justly
deserved.
after a genuine love feast cover
ing the better part of three days, In
which every county in the state was
heard from fully, and the old sores
and wounds healed up and all hands
clasped, the committee got down to
work and made chips fly.
1T determined to accept the resig-
nations of all members of the com
mittee who were either state or fed
eral Office holders. and thereby re-
move one of the bones of contention
from the party members.
But bigger and better yet. the
committee voted to have every nom
nation throughout the state made
by statewide primary. held on
single, day. Thus returning to the
people the authority to name their
own candidate for office, instead OF
having them rammed down their
throats by the old packed convention

Democratic Leaders,"
Thus the Republican party demon
strates once more that it is every

Facts LAbout TriDoIi.

AS the attention of the world has
been drawn to Tripoli by the war
over it between Italy and Turkey,
the following facts regarding the
country. as cleaned by an exchange,
are of interest although to a great
extent it is land concerning which
there is lack of definite informa-
ton:
Its seas coast extend for LOO
miles along the Mediterranean, but
because of lack OF definiteness re-
garding the southern boundary line
It Is impossible to say just what its
area is. The Turkish government
claims that this latter demarcation
is % degrees and thirty minutes
north latitude and the area of the
country is reckoned at about 100000
square miles. The greater part of
this, about three-fourth, in fact
Is said to be worthless; that Is to
say, for agricultural purposes at the
present time. whether this condi-
tion will be changed by the adoption
of improved methods or whether re-
clamation work will be commenced
and It's vast territory utilized, is i'm
possible to say. There is a section
along the coast varying from eighty
to two hundred miles in width that
Is cultivated.
But from a trade standpoint the
&c untry assumes greater import
ance because through it is a favorite
route to lake Tchad and Murzuk
Possibly this is one of the reasons
why Italy is anxious to secure con-
troll of it. 1T is desirous. among
other reasons. for obtaining author
fly regarding it because it wishes to
md territory along the Mediter'
ranean that may be colonized.
Land that may be had for this
purpose is becoming scarce. Where
a few decades ago, there was vast
quantity of territory over which nc
European nation asserted suzerainty
or claimed possession, there is little
now worth acquiring.

ance with the plans OF associated
colleges, forming the West Virginia
University, the new college Of arts

ing OF The Board of Regents here,
ami Professor Frank B. Trotter was

Postmaster General Hitchcock will
renew this year his application for
an appropriation for a limited par
GELS post experiment on the rural
free delivery routes and in the cities.
There is absolutely no reason for re-
fusing this very moderate request
unless it is the fear that the limited
parcels post will prove so popular
and successful that a demand for its
extension will become too strong for
Congress to resist.
If the experiment proves unsuc-
cessful it can be dropped and the
cost of the test will be insignificant
compared with the value of the
lesson learned, points out the Phil
adelphia Press. but there is every
reason to believe that it will not
prove unsuccessful

Let Chilton Answer!

The Fayette journal, edited by
E. Il. Hood and published at Fay
etteville, propounded number of
questions for Senator Chiffon, So
called, to answer, when he made a
speech at Fayetteville Thursday.
Chilton's own newspaper, the
Charleston Gazette, in reporting the
speech FRIDAY stated that Chiffon
referred to the questions as i'm
pertinent and silly. Here is one OF
the questions:
who was it that placed. $1,000
in the hands OF Delegate LATE Shock
during the legislative session at
Charleston, and then promised the
lBraxton county delegate ST. 500
more If he would vote the same way
that Senator MacCorkle voted?"
There is certainly nothing silly
about that question, and Chiffon SO
anxious to be indicated from all
wrong in the matter and challenging
the entire state to prove anything
owes to his hearers and especially
to those of his own party to answer
that question, or have some Demo
Gratis who say they know, answer it.
The people want to know. They
viii know when that probe the gov
ernor has promised gets under way.
In connection with a corruption
fund in the doubtful counties, the
Fayette Journal asked Chiffon the
following questions:
How much did you turn loose in
Kanawha?"
'iHow much in Fayette?"
Those are some more questions
Chiffon pronounces silly and does
not answer. Before an investigating
committee his answer would be diff
ferent, although he might avail
himself of the privilege not to an
swer on the ground that he would
incriminate himself.
Here is a question that many
Democrats would be pleased If he
would reconsider his method of
treating these questions and come
clean with true AND complete an
swer:
"Do you know what means were
adopted to secure the timely con-
version of Senator Boo Kidd at
critical period in the senatorial con-
test ?"
Chiffon knows that Senator Kidd
was quickly Converted" and being
in such close touch with what was
going on as previous speech OF his
: Indicated he ought to have a ready
reply to his question. Perhaps
Chiffon believes that every one
knows the means and it is, there
fore, only necessary for him to say
the question is silly on that account
Come to think about it, it really is
silly to ask for information that
everyone already knows.
The following question is such q
plain charge that how Chiltor
could escape it without an answer

FARMERS PROTEST.
Master. of National Grange Talks
Against Reciprocity.

Washington, Feb. 21.-Farmers reg
1stered protests against the Canadian
reciprocity agreement in the hearing
today before the senate committee on
finance Governor N. J. Bachelor of
New Hampshire, master of the ma
tional grange, made the opening argu-
ment, and announced that if the COM
mittee had the time to hear them he
would be followed by masters of
oranges of several states.
Mr.. Bachelor declared that six
million farmers were united in oppo-
sitlon to the agreement and he said
he voiced their protests against free
trade in farm products while protec-
ton was continued on manufactured
articles.
According to Mr.. Bachelor Canada
has cheaper land, lower taxes, virgin
soil which does not need fertilfzing
and cheaper labor than can be found
in the United States. He said wheat
had already been forced down six or
seven cents a bushel on the prospect
of free trade with Canada. Senator
McCumber interjected that in the
northwestern markets the decline had
been at least IL cents.
eff this is an honest bill, let it in
clude free trade with Great Britain,
said Mr.. Bachelor.
By questions, Senator Stone devel-
oped that Mr., Bachelor was not real
ly in favor of free trade with Great
Britain and he had no personal knowl-
edge of the differences in the value of
lands, the price of labor or the amount
of taxes paid in Canada and the
United States. During this Interchange
Mr.. Bachelor suggested that the only
fair way for free trade to be estab-
lished will be to let the stars and
stripes float over Canada.
THAT is a species of jingoism talk
ed about recently said Senator
Stone. 81 don't believe it is within the
range of possibility"
T. c. Laying, master of the Ohio
state grange, declared the only pro-
lection left to the farmer is that on
wool. ct won't be long before that is
removed"

and McCumber asserted that 1t had
gone already. Under this agree

from Canada, shear them in this

DAILY GAIN In WEIGHT

Says Druggist StaEsfield.

The poor, thin, emaciated person,
when he or she becomes plump, rosy
and robust by using Samose, forgets
that there is such a thing as weakness
and underweight.
Samose restores health to the whole
system so that the tissues assimilate
from the food all of those elements
which make solid bone. firm muscle,
pure blood and sufficient fat to re-
store beautiful and symmetrical out
lines to the figure.
An increase in weight IS seen from
the first weeks use of Samose, but if
it does not restore you to your proper
weight and give you full vigor and
vitality, Druggist Geo. w. Stansfield.
