perhaps you anticipate that relief can be
secured only through radical surgery; but
more likely you consider your case hope
less, or at least susceptible to only temper

have not been successful heretofore. There

visit to the Office will tell. Surely it is
worth the trouble, as health is a prime

Taxpaying voters of Lyons, N.
T., three times decided that they
would not spend money on sup
ply of pure water. So Editor
Belts of that town, speaking right
out in meeting, gives the place
an advertisement that is as nice
to have as a string of boils down
your back. The people of Lyons,
he says, by the report of the State
Health Inspector are drinking sew
age water contributed into their
drinking stream by the village of
Newark above. The local water
company urges consumers to boil
the water 20 minutes. This, .
says Belts, in his testimonial, is
an invitation extended to the peo-
pie to make their stomachs a
cemetery instead of an aquarium. !"
So it is no wonder, Belts adds,
that since the last State census
the population of Lyons bias de-
creased; that the only part of the
village that is growing is the
churchyard. That sort of publi-
city ought to fetch aebetter water
supply.

The Governor has included in

amendments to the Corrupt Prac-

Direct Primary Bill, if passed,
We have recently had an object
lesson of the result of bribery,
which has given our people a
moral shock, which will in the
long run be productive of good.
But it is hard to secure con-
yictionS when the bride giver and
taker are held alike guilty, as
they are legally las of course they
both are morally, under the exist
ing law. -.
Why not disfranehise the bride
taker only, as an effective means
of preventing corruption at cleo
tions? Even our Republican
sffiends are getting tired of has-
ing to buy their own voters in
large numbers at primary and
regular elections.
By this means the floating
vote" would, soon be eliminated
and that cancerous growth on our
body politics be eradicated.

Passed by the Session of the Charles
Town Presbyterian church on May III,
1911
God saw best to suddenly call from US
on May IS, 1911, our be'oved colleague,
Mr.. Charles N. Coleman,
Therefore, Resolved by the session Of
the Charles Town Presbyterian church,
First, That by the death of Mr., Cole
men this Session has lost one of Its most
esteemed and useful ruling elders: this
church one of its most active and
acceptable members, and thiscommunty
one OF its most upright and exemplary
citizens.
Second. That while deploring the loss
of this co-laborer, we bow submissiyely
to this dispensatlon of Providence, we
pray that his mantle may fall upon some
worthy successor. and that this event
may teach US to live and labor for Christ
with consistency that we may be ready
when we are called to depart from this
world. MARX the perfect man and be-
hold the upright, for the end of that
man is peace"
Third. To his family we extend heart
felt sympathy in griefcomaensto them
and to us, May the strong consultations
of the Gospel be ministered to them, and
all covenant blessings be transmitted TO
his children.
Fourth. That a'copy OF these resolutions
be sent to the family of Mr.. Coleman,
and that they be offered to our town
papers for publication and the Presby-
terrain of the South.

Charles Town High School.

The pupils os the Charles Town High
School have been taking their final
examinations this week. Both scholars
and teachers have had the sympathy OF
the public during the intense heat that
has prevailed. The epidemic of measles
has SO depleted the attendance roll cf
the first three grades, that the pupils
will be promoted on the recommended
lions of the teachers. The closing ex-
ercises will be informal. Those of the
primary department will be held next
Saturday morning, and of the High
School, Monday morning.

WILLIAM PHILIPS.
Charles Town, May 81, 1920.

At the last regular session of the
West Virginia State Legislature in Jan
uary, an automobile bill was passed
which becomes a law this month. This
law will be appreciated not only by
West Virginia auto enthusiast, but By
those from the adjoining states as well.
for it provides that autoists from States
having the reciprocal class. in their law
may tour in West Va without a license.
This will permit autoists to make the
famous Shenandoah Valley trip without
having to take cut West Virginia

After the Express Monopoly.

The express monopoly is now at last
to have reckoning with the people. Ii,
is announced that the Interstate Com
Commission will conduct an ex.
haustive investigation intoathe exorh
itant charges made for~service by the
corporations, as we'll as into the allie
cations of high-handed and arbitrary
practices in dealing with the public
The monopoly of these corporations is

i not permitted to compete with them
and the railroad companies will not
compile. I In England the railroads ane
the postoff1ce do the work that thu
express companies do here and do il
cheaper and better. The rates on the
American railroads for carrying pack
ages are small enough. but the service
is so inefficient and slow that perish
able articles Of food can not be sent
that way. The postal rates and regus
lations are prohibitory, and SO the peo-
pie are driven to the express compan-
les. With the present companies there
can be no competition by other com
panies because it is not likely that a
new company could get railroad accom-
modations at competing rates
Th"re remains. therefore,, nothing
ing for the people except regulation
of the express companies by. the Gov
ernment, and this. it Isl understood.
the Inter. State Commerce Commission
will undertake 1t is time it should be
undertaken.
In support of the charge of the
,exaction of extortionate rates by the
express companies, it has been stated
that within two years the Adams Ex-
press Company, after declaring its
regular dividend of 20 per cent, de-
clared an extra dividend of 200 per
cent. The high price of food in the
cities of this country, Under which
there has been untold human suffering,
is due, to a considerable extent, to the
plohibitoiy charges for transportation
and to inefficient service on the rail-
roads Food is cheap and abundant at.

Of farms food is going TO waste which
would bring Joy to pany q city family,

Mans Conscience.

Do not misunderstood me. l do not
mean to say any representative should
go contrary to his conscience. M one
will go beyond me in emphasizing the
duty of representative to follow his
conscience. | believe that Il represent
tative is not worthy of respect who
does not act conscientiously, and / will
not defend any man who, as represen-
tative. does what he believes to be
wrong, merely because his constituents
want i done. But there is way in
which an h, nest representative and a
conscientious representative can yet be
a faithful representative. Ii cnnstitu-
ents want him to do something that he
hoes not want done, let him resign and
let them sci ct somebody to carry out
their will who can do what they want
done. In other words, while l believe
that representative ought to be con-
scientious, / do not believe that his con-
science ought to be dormant during the
campaign and come out only after the
election is over, when he wants an ex-
cuse to betray his constituents. He
must recognize that his constituents
have conscience also, and that they
have as much right, aye, more right
than the servant who speaks for them
They have that conscience right. and ii
is higher right than the right Of the
representative, to misrepresent them
merely because he does not agree with
them.
Platforms are becoming more and
more the rule And why ought we tr.
have platforms? 1t is that the repro
sentative may know what the people
want, or, if the platform is of his own
writing, that the constituents may
know what to expect from him if he is
elected. l desire to emphasize this idea
of representative government because
the evil that cries for remedy today in
government is misrepresentation by
unfaithful representatives. It is the
ENLIGHTENMENT of power bKS4Bople who
are trusted by their cqt beituents and
who violate their obligation to the pee
pie who elected them. 1t is too Otter
the case that the man in the Legislature
has an interest to serve that his con-
stituents do no. know of. It's too often
that the man in the legislature sits at
one end of the telegraph wire and some
man in the dark, sits at the other end,
who, because he helps to elect him,
tells him what to do. | like the wire
less system of telegraphy better. as its
effectiveness rests upon the theory that
the two instruments are attuned to

to be attuned to his constituency and SO

Platform Pledges.

There are good. many people
nowadays who have the old-fash-
Toned idea that party platforms
were meant not only to get i1son, /
but to carry out, -.
This being the case, it behooves5
the Democratic party not to play
any cheap politics in the consid-
Grafton of Direct Primary legisla-
ton, which is the paramount is
sue before the people, not only in
West Virginia, butrin the country
at large, at this juncture.
People are reading and think
ing for themselves just now and
are stubbornly opposed to having
the wool pulled over their eyes.
With the overwhelming Dem
ecratic majority in the House and
the Senate tied. the party has
splendid opportunity to place the
responsibility of defeat of a just
and fairly drawn measure on the
present Republican State admin
istration.
If they fail to do this now and
wait until the Democrats control
both branches of the Legislature,
the further, effect of such dilatory
tactics may result in that CONSUME
nation being postponed, at least
beyond the next election.
The rank and file of the Demo-
cratic party is not particularly
concerned~in any factiona1 advant-
age to be derived from the enact
nent of any one particular
measure.
It does, insist that Democratic
pledges be redeemed at the earliest
opportunity offered, as they have
been redeemed by Woodrow Will
son in New Jersey and as the
New York Legislature is now
being urged to like action by
Governor Dix of New York.
y If for any good reason the
Campbell bill, which passed the
Democratic House of Delegates
with only five adverse votes at
the last session, should not be
found satisfactory to the party as
unit in the Legislature, why not
pass the Oregon bill?-I 1t seems
to us that any measure that would
result in the election of Demo-
cratic United States Senator by a
Republican, legislature, as hap
pened in the case of Senator
+ Chamberlain, should be consider
ed a we'll tested and effective
piece of legislation.
As. that splendid Democrat,
Senator Owen, of Oklahoma, has
stated, IF the people really rule,
why cannot they get what they
: want?"
The people of West Virginia
demand an honest primary law.
Let the Democratic party get
the credit of having placed one
on the statute books and nothing
can prevent West Virginia join
ing the column of States which
will cast their electoral votes
next year for a Democratic Pres
ident.
