Tuesday, had the pleasure of enjoying
their FIRST monthly social evening. 4"
A few weeks ago it was decided to set
aside one drill night in each month for
q good time. Refreshments were serv-
ed and general good time enjoyed by
all present. Hot hand" was also iu-
dulgedin.
A military hop will be given next
Friday evening, and from all iLdica-
tions one of those good old times, for
which the Light Guard is famous, will
be had Every member should be pre-
sent. There are number of the mem
bers who should show more interest
and come out to drill. There are al
ways q few who turn out and are al
ways the ones who do the work Now
this sort of spirit should be buried, =
and it Is hoped that these non-worlxers
will show more interest by coming to
drill and doing their share of the work

A town that never has anything to
do in public way, is on the way to
the cemetery. Any citizen who will
do nothing for his .own is helping to
dig the grave. A man that curses the
town furnishes the coffin, The man
who Is so selfish as to have no time
from his business to give to city affairs
is malsing the shrond, The man who
will not advertise is driving the hearse
The man who is always pulling back
from any public enterprise throws bou-
qnets on the grave. The man who is
so stingy as TO be bowling hard times,
breaches the funeral, sings the doxolo-
gy, and thus the town lies buried from
all sorrow and care.

interests and this fight is of more
Importance TO every Democrat
and to every Republican and tx
every one else than a m ere ques'
ton of the personal success Of
some individual candidate.
Sometimes West Virginia Dem,
ocrats are inclined to feel that
they must support their own pre-
ferences for an office or no one
but the coming campaign is OF
such Importance to the Demo
cratic success in the nation and
the triumph of Democratic prin-
ciples that the mere matter of
the individual candidacy. as de-
termined by the conventions OF
the people, pales into insignifi-
canoe besides the candidacy of
the Democratic party and if
there ever was a time when
Democrats should forget per-
sonal differences and unite for
the success of the party in the
nation at large, it is the present.
West Virginia is a Democratic
State. Ithas demonstrated that
fact. 1t has now in Congress
two Senators and four Represen-
tatives elected by Democrats,
The people of the State are tired
of the methods and results of the
Republican patty in West Virgin
la and are ready to elect Demo-
Gratis to practically every office
and to Supports the Democratic
candidate for the Presidency
But West Virginia can only
take it's proper stand in the Dem
ocratic column by the observance
of the old time honored principle
of acquiescencs in the will Of the
majority as to candidates.
There is no difference among
Democrats as to party principles.
The only differences are as to
candidates. No principle is in
volved in voting for a candidate
who is not ones personal choice,
if that candidate represents
Democratic principles. He is a
good Democrat who stands by his
principles and supports the choice
of the majority of his party for
office, even though that candi-
date be not his individual cnoice.
And it will require this kind of
Democracy in the coming cam
paign to place West Virginia
where it belongs the Demo-
cratic column-and possibly
thereby make possible the cleo
ton of a Democrat for Presi-
dent.
Principles and not PERSONAL
ties" would be a good motto for
the West Virginia Democrats this
year and if that motto is observ
ed West Virginia will line up
with the Democrats of the nation
who are fighting for the inter
ests of the people against monop-
oily.
