TWO DEMOCRATIC SENATOR'S
FROM MAINE.

Another democratic United States
senator from Maine sucn is conSe-
quence OF TINE ueatn OF Senator Fry Z
at this time. HIS term 1oeS not eA-

man GOV. Plaster appoints 10 nn
the vacancy viii serve throughout u1i-
less the present Legislature should be
called in extra session to make a
choice OF It's own. And the present
legislature is democratic. One denl-
ocratic senator from Maine was
thought sensational enough; now We
are TO have two tor at least a yeaf
and a half. Two men will early finu
mention for the succession to Mi.
Frye. One is William M. Pennell OF
Portland, who has done more tn.,
most OF them to put life and spirit
into the party OF that state and who
came close TO election to Congress last
year; ana the other is Obadiah Gard
ner, the granger candidate for COVER

Senator Clarence W. Watson.

We have not had much to say about
the gentleman whose name heads this
article since our return to West V1r-
GINA, for the reason that he has come
into the politics Of the State since we
left this region. He is comparatively
a new man in politics and we have
been watching his course and conduct
since he has had the newly made hon
ors of United States Senator thrust
upon him. Since we have returned to
the State we have heard nothing po-
litically but Chiffon and Watson and
Mingo county politics. We are becom-
ing educated along these lines and will
soon be in position to blow our own
little horn Of political thunder.
Mr.. Watson as we now understand
it, is successful business man, fresh
from the people, and has no political
record, save what has been made in
the past few months. He is young,
vigorous and full of energy. That he
mas Deen a SUCCESSIVE business lldii
and has made some money is rather a
compliment than otherwise. West
Virginia needs leader just like Wat
son if he proves equal to the opportun-
tiles now coming his way. We have
our eye upon Mr.. Watson and SO have
the peopleaof Southern West Virginia,
as well as the whole State, and we are
seeking a leader who is clean, prac-
teal, progressive, with intellect to
make the State better record politi-
cally and to crush machine methods it
matters not from what source they
come. Atleast give the young Sena-
tor chance to show up.

Senator Watson Doing Good for
This Section.

1t will be seen from the follow
ing, sent out as Washington
telegram, that Senator Watson is
doing some good work for this
section of the State, and that our
neighboring town of Matewan
will receive some of the benefits
of his labors in the Senate.
I Senator Watson did some quick
work in the Senate, resulting in
the passage of the bill to author
ize the construction of a bridge
across the Tug Fork Of Big San
dy river, near Matewan. The
bill, which was introduced BY
Congressman Hughes last April,
was advanced in his unavoidable
absence after interested parties
had appealed to other congress-
men for assistance. The bill was
reported to the senate and Sena-
tor Watson pushed it along by
personal work till it was passed
today without amendment and
only awaits the presidents sig
nature to become law.
In this connection the Senator
has obtained, also, bridge be-
loW on the same river for Glen
hayes. All of which we are
pleased to chronicle.

Still Another.

A half dozen Republican lawyers in
Mingo county, most of them ex-Demo-
Gratis, are fighting over the nomination
for Judge Of the new Mingo Wyoming
Circuit.
Never mind, Wyoming will have a
candidate for the nomination in the
person of our distinguished friend, the
Hon. ]. j. Swope, lawyer, editor, pol
itician, ct cetera. Wyoming Tribune.
AS Governor Glasscock recognizes
the illegal voting Of negroes in Mingo
county, it makes no difference who is
the candidate for Judge, the required
majority will be forthcoming.

Senator Bill Chiffon.


OF course no sensible man would
have ever thought that Hon. William
Chiffon was going to resign his seat
in the Senate. He has good chance
to show the stuff he is made of in the
United States Senate and the people OF
West Virginia are watching him
closely. OF course he knows his po-
litical enemies and he knows them
we'll. Here is what he says about re-
signing from the Senate:
Reports about my resigning are
covert way of keeping alive false re-
port, and an expiring effort to yitalize
a shadow. have no idea of resigning
and these scandal mongers have never
either disconnected or terrorized me. :

SEEING THE DARK.

A negro, having won a dollar at a
crap game, decided 70 spend it on
teller led him into gloomy room
with dirty hangings and misty red
lights She took his palm, traced
it with dollar, spread out her cards.
and then said: you are very fond of
music; you like chicken; you have
won money at craps; and you have
been in jail" The negro looked at
her with bullying eyes and finally
calculated Nah goodness, lady;
why, you jest read nah Utmost

DEMOCRACY'S TRIUMPH.

The reduction of the British house
of lords to a position of secondary inn
portance is one of the democratic tri-
umphs of the century. 1t lis the most
Industrious hereditary body on earth,
but it bows to the Wa. of the people,
and acknowledges that henceforth
the people of Great Britain will speak
through the elective branches of the
legislature. And this change takes
place just as the people of the United
States purge the senate of its house
of-lords-features by making it's mem
bership elective by popular vote. Let
the people rule is becoming more
and more worldwide slogan.

AFRAID or PEOPLES RULE.

Evidently the thing TO do is to
turn government over to a small ma
jority, which is what the advocates Of
..rect legislation complain of now.
What they actually propose is to
transfer government from the hands
of an occasional minority to the
hands Of continuing minority, de-
|stroy all the constitutional safe
guards of liberty, and then cali it
progress in the name of the people.
This MUST be SO, for it was print
ed in the New York World, an organ
that consistently opposes any move
ment threatening the dominance OF
the continuing minority OF WaH
street over American politics. Com

The Difference

The late Marshall Field
was not given to golden
speech but he could condense
into sentence all the philos-
ophy of business success:
The difference between
the clerk who spends all
his salary and the clerk
who saves part of it is the
difference in ten years
between the owner Of the
business and the man out
of a job. -
In other words, the men and
women who save their ove9-
expense money are building
for themselves character and
a comfortable old age. Most
of us may not reach that pc
roid called obnkeNce, but we
gain strength and standing,
and character in anticipating
it, and provide for comforta-
able old age thereby. The
danger to roseate sunset is
the contempt for small saw
lngs at sunrise and meridian.
The thing to do is what sue
cessful men have always
done: GET STARTED,
KEEP GOING. and make

HONAN WILL
LET LAW TAKE
ITS COURSE

As far as the new attorney eneral
Thomas Honan is concerned, there will
be no withdrawal of the mandamus ap-
plication filed by his predecessor Bling
ham to have Mayor Knots to issue
mittimus papers consigning the blind
pig men to jail Throughout the sa-
loon district of Gary 1t was reported
that the mayor had a deal fixed with
the new attorney general whereby the
latter was to call off Attorneys Bruce
and Matthews and let the cases which
come up in the Valparaiso circuit court
this month go gy default.
Concerning the attorney generals
denial the Indianapolis News says:
Thomas NJ Honan who yesterday
succeeded James Bingham as attorney
general. denied that any assurance had
been given by him to Mayor Knots, of
Gary. that the petition for writ of
mandate compelling Knots to send
certain blind tiger" eepers to Jail. filed
by Bingham, would be withdrawn.
Il do not know anything about the
cases." said Mr.. Honan. Mr. Knots
has received no such assurance from
me-
A report from Gary was to the effect
that Knots had declared that the new
attorney general would withdraw the

MOURNERS

Judge William Westergren the
chronic jokesmith of Miller. and the
fighting jurist who dishes out the law
with both hands in that town is re-
ported to be ire author of new piece
of mischief which has set the whole
town laughing.
Several days ago Charles Ringberg
the Miller carpenter went into the
Black Forest near the towns lake
front to do some trapping and it was
several days before he emerged with a
varied assortment of game, pelts and
nuts.
In the meantime Judge Westergren
circulated a report that the bachelor
was dead and with tears in his ewes
he went to the kind-hearted saloon
keepers of Miller for contributions ~
buy floral tributes for Ringberg. But
flowers were a scarce article so the
"mourners" spent the money for things
destined to make them cheerful under
trying circumstances. Then Ringberg's
