VieWe Arc Wanted.


Certain views are wanted by the
Democrats of Harrison and adjoin-
ing counties as follows according to
the West Union Record. but there
seems little probability of the wants
being satisfied:
The Clarksburg Exponent OF an
Aldrichised DemoS9cy published in
It's editorial columns Senator Mar
tines endorsement Of Chiffon and
Watson together with a short com
ment from the Huntington Adver-
'tiser on the Jersey senator's letter.
What the Democrats of Harrison
and adjoining counties really want to
see in the editorial columns OF the
Exponent is an article from tho pen
Of the editor or manager of that
sheet giving his own views anent
our two United States senators.
We have personal knowledge of at:
least fifty stalwart Clarksburg Dem-I
ocrats who are just as anxious az
tho editor OF the Record to see an
expression from the gentleman set
ting forth in unmistakable terms
his position relative to the two sem
ators from West Virginia.

sam woods and the Lord.

Senator George w. BANDS news
paper believes that Senator Samuel
". woods has fallen from grace.
Speaking of him, Senator BANDS
newspaper says:
'During his campaign he seemed
to be an instrument in the hands of
the Lord, to aid the people in OBJ
tanning better things, but strange
vision came over the spirit of his
dreams, when he reached the capi-
toll. and the Lord lost control OF
him, and the senator became the
victim Of some strange thralldom"
It would be interesting to report
how Senator Bland thinks Senator
Sam can get back in grace, II at
all.

Tbe. ..aFedical Trust.''

Congress and the attorney general
have been turning the searchltght
on all organizations suspected OF
being trusts, and have forced them
to submit to an investigation. For
an organization accused by its enc
miles Of being trust" to ask for
an investigation, is certainly a nov
city. When Congress gets through
with American Tobacco and United
State6 Steel, it may find another
kind of investigation on its
hands. The American Medical As
Isociation has been denounced by the
National League for Medical Free
dom, the ''patent medicine men, the
food-dopers and the takers. as a
medical trust" The association
now proposed that Congress appoint
la committee to investigate the work
of the association and to tell the
people the facts. In a. recent issue.
The Journal Of the American Med
ioaI Association says, editorially:
'Tf the American Medical Assoct-
alton is a trust or IL it is en-
deavoring to create a trust, certainly
the people should know It. If the
physicians of the country are seek
ing a health department so as to
create positions for themselves, and
not to stamp out disease and save
human lives, the public should know
It. ON the other hand, il the Amer
lean Medical Association and the
medical profession are earnestly and
honestly arriving to increase our
knowledge of the cause and means
of prevention of epidemics, and to
wipe out preventaible disease, then
the people should know this and
should lend their aid in this life
saving campaign. Why should not
the work of the American Medical
Association be investigated? Why
should not Congress be able to tell
the American public the truth?
Surely the needless loss each year
of 100000 lives is of as vital i'm
portance to the people as the price
of sugar, tobacco or steel rails.
Will Congress Investigate the
IAmerican Medical Association and
its work? If 1t will, the books and
records of the American Medical AS
sociation will gladly be produced
and its officers and members will
willingly testify, nor will any order
from the courts be necessary to in
sure their presence. investigation
and credit for the work it has done
and is now doing Is exactly what
the Association most desires, since
it knows that the more the people
know of its work for the public
good, the more it will enjoy the con-
idence and support of the pub
lic."

Pretty far fetched is the idea adj
vanced that the Republican state
government should have made the
Democratic legislature investigate
alleged bribery and corruption com
mitted by the Democratic 1egisla-
tire and its benefciaries. Still
farther fetched is the complaint
that Republican leaders should have
had it done. 1t seems to sensible
men that those in position to exer-
else the power should have done
that. and those not having the power
are certainly not to blame. How
ever. 1t is not all over. Senator
Chiffon has challenged the people of
West virginia, and the Telegram &C
cepts it as true saying that the
people are al1-powerful. In addition
the governor has thing or two up
his sleeve. Nor need the anxious
ones overlook the fact that the
United States Senate will sit again.

Democrats Won

Tuesday afternoon, Judge
Thompson, r. H. Faxon of Gar
den City, T. w. Hubbard and the
editor of the Democrat were the
guests of j. w. Baughman on o
drive to Tyrone. Near that town
the car began acting badly, and
was taken to the garage there for
repairs. The trouble delayed the
party for several hours. After
some discussion on the relative
merits of the two parties, the
Democrats, Judge Thompson and
G. G. Eddy challenged the Re-
publicans to three games of horse
shoes to decide whether the Re-
publican or Democrat party was
the more powerful. The first
game went to the Republicans by
o large score. In the second game
with the score II to II, the Judge
threw a ringer. The editor fol-
lowed with another, retiring the
side with q game score of one and
one. The third and deciding
game of the contest was bitterly
fought from start to finish. The
Judge had removed his coat and
waa recklessly disarranging his
fancy waist coat and neck tie, in
IN endeavor to get the editor to
take a lead over Faxon. In the
meantime, Hubbard was exhort-
ing Faxon with tales of "how we
used to do it over in Stevens coun-
ty". More than once the court
was obliged to get down on his
hands and knees with straw to
convince Hubbard of a close de-
cision. The game ran along 80,
1912. 17-16 in favor of the Re-
publicans when the town boys re-
covered themselves with a mighty
effort. tied the score at 1920. 1t
was the Republicans first throw.
Hubbard laid one of the shoes
within three inches of the stake.
The Judge gathered himself to-
gether, re-arranged his necktie,
and adjusted his glasses. Taking
careful aim he threw the first shoe.
The cork did not strike soft ground
and it rolled four feet away from
the stake. The second trial was
made after a cool survey of the
situation. Knowing that the fate
of the party depended on that
shoe the Judge took more pains
and landed the shoe within an inch
of the stake. He was so elated
over the victory that he did not
wait for the car to be repaired,
but catching the local freight came
back to relate the story to admir-
ing and appreciative friends. Fax
