 The Silent Six" Matheson car has many splendid features, among them and one In which the company takes special pride, is its absolute. silence in operation without any corresponding sacrifice of power This is an interesting feature from the viewpoint of an owner. The car has also great reputation as a hill climber.

CHARLESTON, w. Va. Especial -
After twenty years the Democratic
party of West Virginia finds itself
with Legislature of it's own ito have
and to hold and the alluring and in
viting duty of electing United States
Senator to succeed Nathan Bay Scott,
who steps down and out of the Senate
March next after a service in that
high legislative tribunal which began
in March, 1897. For his toga there are
number of avowed candidates and
greater number of distinguished DEM
ocrats who are in q receptive mood
highly pleasing to their individual
feelings.
Among those who are in the ayowed
class is John T. McGraw, who has
been the acknowledged head and lead
er of his party by reason of his posi-
tion as National Committeeman for
fourteen successive years In all that
time McGraw stood steadfastly at the
helm of his party ship when it fioun
dered hopelessly in adverse winds and
heavy seas, and with his private for
tune and undoubted skill and genius

for leadership bravely held the rem.
nants Of the organization together I'M
til the fortunes of political warfare
changed and Democracy sailed into
power on the crest of mighty MAORI
ties. This record for party loyalty and
unceasing devotion to leadership
that promised little, If any, reward in
those lean years OF Democracy is PROB
ably unequaled, certainly not sur
passed in the careers OF any west
Virginia politicians, so far as the pl-
ographies of any of them furnish any
enlightenment on that question. And
this record, too. furnishes one of the
strongest causes for widespread pop
ular sentiment in the ranks OF the
Democratic party why John t. Nc
Graw should be elected to wear the
toga that so soon falls from the shout
ders of Nathan Bay Scott.
However, the strength of McGraw's
candidacy is founded on other causes
than the one just mentioned. His
qualifications for the position are OF
an exceedingly high order He is
scholarly, brilliant and extraordinary
lily able man. AS an orator he is de-
lightfully polished and eloquent; as a
debater he is ready and convincing; as
a purely argumentative speaker he is
both impressive and logical His
friends say for him that he is better
equipped intellectually, forensically
and by reason Of long years of ac-
ouaintance and experience with the
National leaders of his party TO cred

his State. regardless of political afIii-
iations, than any of his opponents.
They say this with no purpose of re-
fiecting upon whatever abilities the
others may possess. but as state
ment Of fact they firmly believe, and
which invites calm comparison
which they consider can In no wise
hurt the chances of their favorite. 1t
can be truthfully set down in this con-
nection that at no time since the con-
test started has there been voice
raised to question the ability Of Nc
Graw to make one of the most bril-
liant Senators West Virginia has had
during its almost fifty years of state
hood. The older generation Of Demo
Gratis that survive, to whom John E
Kenna represented the highest Sena
torial ideal, regard Colonel McGraw
as more nearly measuring up to the
lofty standard set by that venerated
statesman than any other aspirant in
the field. And that is not by any
means far fetched, for McGraw is very

MENTAL DlscoRD.
An Incorporating Enemy to Happi-
ness and to Health.


1t is law that every state of mind,
whether good or bad. affects every cell
In the system and.is outpictured in the
body. says Orison SWEET Marden in
Success Magazine. We are thus the
arbiters of our fate through our
thoughts, emotions and passions.
The time will come when we shall
know how TO refresh ourselves by
mental chemistry is, by holding
In our minds the antidotes Of the
things that have wearied US or vexed
US, by holding the mental attitude
which viii neutralize the thought enc
mics that Lave thrown cur bodies into
confusion.
There is nothing 50 deadly to happi-
ness as mental discord 1t paralyzes
the thinking ability aud destroys the
power Of concentration and effective
ness.
All diseases and sickness of what
ever kind are the outpicturing Of some
form of discord. III the mind is kept
as happy as possible 1t is difficult for
discord to get foothold In the body
A happy mind II the best possible
health producer, disease killer and
discord destroyer.
For centuries mans happiness was
looked upon by many earnest, think
ing people as a condition largely be-
ycud his control. They seemed TO
think that it depended mostly upon
the temperament one happened to de-
velop and that there were other things
Of so much more Importance that we
should not consider 1t too seriously or
take precious time to cultivate 1t d.
rectly.
We are beginning TO find. however.
that even as an economical invest
ment 1t pays immensely to make a
business of being happy and being
just as good TO ourselves as possible,
although not In selfish way. We
could not be good to ourselves in the
higher sense by being selfish.

much OF the Intellectual temperament
and general type OF the lamented
Kenna.
John T.. McGraw was born at Graf
ton, in Taylor county, fifty years ago.
His parents were very poor and could
give him but scant help in securing an
education. Determined to have it, he
solved the problem for himself, as
many another poor young American
boy has done. He worked his way
through two colleges. securing first a
classical and then a legal education
He started to practice law in his birth
place, and soon, despite his youth, took
place in the front rank OF the Tay-
legal age he was nominated by the
Democratic party for prosecuting at
torney and was elected by a large
margin His administration Of that
Office stamped him in the minds of his
own people as young lawyer of tai
ent above the ordinary From thence
on he rose rapidly until his ability as
a lawyer was accorded statewide rec
ignition. Today he is classed as one
of the best, If not the best, corpora
ton and constitutional lawyers in the
State. In latter years he delved deep
into the problem of developing the
vast resources of his State. He opened
coal mines, built railroads, acquired
timber tracts. built hotels, electric
lines, successfully operated for oil and
gas and has done great work in
bringing foreign capital into the State
to develop its riches. What with his
law practice and his other large inter
ests along the lines mentioned, he has
been for twenty-five years a very busy
man of large affairs And yet with all
of it he has found time to take an ac-
tive and prominent part in public mat
ters and in political campaigns. He
never was discouraged when his party
suffered repeated and crushing defeat.
but when almost deserted by men of
similar influence, MrGraw stood
staunchly by and helped to hold the
wavering and shattered lines together,
SiNiHS VI HiS hiohSy, lluc anu Wise
counsel.
With the exception of the prescott
ing attorneyship of Taylor county, he
never held but one other office, and
that was collector of internal revenue
under Cleveland's first administration
However, he did run for Congress
against Dayton twice, when no other
Democrat would consent to make the
sacrifice, and each time came as near
as 500 votes of winning. 1t was Nc
Graw, who, in 1904, brought to the
Democratic party of West Virginia,
and to the whole state, for that mat
ter, its highest political honor, when
he secured the nomination of Henry
G. Davis as Vice Presidential candi-
date on the ticket with Alton b.
Parker.
