Equal Suffrage Meeting

AS already advertised the Equal
Suggrage Club will hold its regular
meeting at Memorial Hall, Monday
evening, June 3, at s p. m. An eX-
cellent program has been arranged
for the benefit of the "strerner sex. "
An instructive one will also be
placed before the 900 future citi-
zens of Ashland who will introduce
themselves as enterprising progress
sives later in the year. They expect,
at that time, to show what splendid
boosters they can be for the welfare
of their town. They are solid for a
polytechnic school, believing as they
do in capital punishment for normal
school killers. All their war cry is
down with old barns and up with
aerial trolley system, electric system
street car system, any system that is
legitimate money system. And they
have other ideas too numerous to
mentiOn-of some of which you may
hear at the meeting.

Minstrel Show Plcnscd.

The Busby's Worlds Greatest
Minstrel Show Wednesday evening
has shown the distinction Of being
the only one to exhibit here for some
time without a lot of fault-finding
critics picking its attractions to
pieces afterward. A negro minstrel
show is in a class by itself, and a
good one never fails to please an
audience where laughter and amuse-
ment are sought.
The negro has an ear for music,
it is natural with him, and he has
his way of rendering it. 1t is not
classical but it is better-more
pleasing
The minstrels gave good enter
tainment, one we'll worth the price,
and the audience got its satisfaction
of negro melody and laughter. .-Ha-

To The General Public.

There have been things circulated that
are false since my son, M. M. Jenkins,
has announced himself candidate for
county commissioner. Ii has been re-
ported that he sold my corn at one price
and paid me another. In plain English,
il is a lie. He bought my share OF the
corn before it was cut. We estimated
the crop at so many bushels and at so
much per bushel. He Shucked it before
seeding and sold it in small lots at an
advance OF ten cents per buShel or fifty
cents per barrel. Wasn't that fair deal ?
He paid me what he had obligated, and
the corn was his to do as he pleased. 1t
was as legitimate as merchant selling
goods over the counter.
Friends, want to say right here that
he has always made good his obligations,
and there has never been any i'll feeling
between any of us, as reported. 1t has
been reported that would not vote for
him in the primary. No, nor no one else
for nomination for any office. Eight years
ago It was so rotten-one OF the most
corrupt things that have ever seen since
was Confederate soldier made
pledge never to vote at another primary
and | expect to keep it. Money and
whiskey were used and lies told, and
don't approve OF that kind OF influence.
My son is one of the best farmers that
know. With good judgment and hard
work he has proSpered. There are al
ways ignorant people to critlciSe and
envy others of their success.

In the Interest of the Public Schools.

Mr.. Editor wish TO call the attention
OF the voters of Harper's Ferry district to
the importance OF retaining DIR. w. E.
Dittmeyer in the board of education. He
was appointed by MIR. E. D. Turner lex
county superintendent to fill vacancy
in the board. and entered upon his new
duties July |, 1911, thereby becoming &C
quainted with the important matters which
are arranged at said meetings.
School matters have brought me into
frequent consultation with the Harper'S
Ferry board this year, and | can say con-
scientiously that no member OF any board
in the county has shown deeper interest
or has contributed SO much of his valua-
BILE time, thought and energy to school
matters as DR.. Dittmyer.
He has also taken the greatest interest
in the new high school building, now in
process of construction, and has made a
personal study OF every detail entering
into its construction ana maintenance.
therefore believe il would not only be a
grave mistake, but real calamity not TO
retain him in the board.
| make this statement unsolicited, and
am actuated by no motive, save for the
best interests OF the schools.
Very respectfully,
JAMES GRANTHAM,
County Superintendent.

THE primary election in Maryland on
Tuesday resulted in victory for Theo-
dore Roosevelt over President Taft, and
the former will get all the delegates from
that State in the Chicago convention.
This is hard blow to the President, and
it now seems inevitable that he will be
defeated for denomination. He has so
small popularity with the voters that even
his friends realize that il would be party
suicide to put him up again. The office
holders are about all the friends left to
HIM, and they are attached TO him by such
ilimsy cords that they are Liable to break
away at any time and will probably do so
whenever self-interest demands it.
II cannot but be extremely humiliating
to the President TO see defeat staring him
in the face, and there is no comfort in the
reflection that this desperate condition
has been brought about by his former
friend Roosevelt.

THE lists have been closed to candi-
dates for office on the Republican State
ticket, and the names OF those who will
seek nomination at the primary election
on June 4th have been announced. For
Governor there are three aspirantS DR..
H. d. Hatfield, of Mcdowell county; C..
w. Dillon, of Fayette county; and Charles
W.. SwiSher, of Charleston. Stuart F.
Reed has no opposition for Secretary Of
State, nor has John S. Darst for Auditor.
A. A. Lilly is the only candidate for At
torney- General. For Treasurer, E. L.
Long is a candidate for reelection, and
{. F. Rathbone will. dispute with him for
the honors. There are two candidates
for the new office OF Commissioner of
Agriculture, X. E. Williams, of Green
brier county, and Rev. Archibald Moore,
OF Parkersburg. Opposing M. P. Shaw
key for State Superintendent of Schools
is {. R. Murray, of Williamson, Mingo
county. For Congressman at large
Charles F. Teter is the only candidate
announced.
From the above list, it looks as if a
good many Republicans haven't much
faith in eleoting their ticket this year.

Hon. w. d. linn, of Barbour county,
is announced as candidate for the Of
flee of Commissioner OF Agriculture from
Barbour county. There are few men in
West Virginia as well qualified tor this
important office as Mr.. linn. An intelli-
gent, progressive, up-to-date farmer and
stock man, an expert in practical and the
oretical agriculture, as the first incumbent
of this Office he would reflect honor upon
the cause and credit upon his party. Mr..
linn is ksown in Jefferson and Berkeley
counties, where he has taken prominent
part in farmers institutes, and we are
sure he will be well supported by the
people OF the Eastern Panhandle.

TEXAS has spoken, and presents to
Woodrow Wilson every vote she will
have in the convention. There are
enough Texas Democrats TO at least en-
title them TO a respectful hearing, and
their unanimous support of Governor
Wilson's candidacy gives it another boost
upward.

1T looks as if the Republicans have
practically abandoned hope of carrying
West Virginia next fall. For several Of
the important State offices there is TO be
no contest in the primary election, and
Charlie Teeter is to be allowed to make
the race for Congressman-at-large unop-
posed. The gubernatorial offerings are
not such as TO arouse enthusiasm, and
whoever may be selected from the list
just announced, the ticket is bound to be
a weak one.

AMID all this hurrah and enthusiasm for
Roosevelt, it may be well to reflect for
moment that his present aScendancy is at
the expense OF those who trusted him as
their friend. False to Taft, traitorous to

dence in The man =?

THE victory of Woodrow Wilson in
Texas last week was Offset in measure
by Champ Clark's winning fight in Mary
land on Monday. Nevertheless, there's
no diminution OF Wilson's real popularity
with the great masses OF the people.

1T is said that Roosevelt's victory over
Taft in Maryland was mace easy because
the colored voters supported the former
almost to a man. They said they de-
lighted to honor the man who had invited
Booker Washington to dine with him at
the White House.

SOME folks just seem to banker for gold
bricks, and farmers are usually the ones
to get them. Those who are shouting
for Roosevelt will get theirs, for Geo. W.
Perkins, the head OF the Harvester Trust,
is not booming Roosevelt for purely pa
triotic motives. With Perkins the pow
er behind the throne at the White House
fcr four years, there'll be such gleanings
from the harvest fields as haven't been
dreamed OF since the days OF Ruth.

PRESIDENT TAFT is making a fight in
Ohio, his home State, this week, with the
hope that he may be spared the humlia-
ton OF having it 60 against him also.
But the President is unfortunate in that
he is now on the political down-grade.
and 10 stand by him in the face of newt
able defeat requires more heroism than
the average Ohio politician possesses.
