committee, the Governor made some
OF his usual remarks, commenting on
the complimentary statements in their
behalf made by Judge Jones. He
said that Judge Jones was hoping to
swim into office in the Slime that
flowed from this investigation.
Governor Blease today exhibited a
circular which has been sent out by
Judge Jones, in which appeared an
article or statement by Gen. L. r.
Brooks. of Columbia. The exact ma
ture Of the statement is not known,
but it was deprecatory to Governor
Blease, for the Governor issued a
warning to Col. Brooks to keep his
hand out of this race. He even re-
quested that the newspapers take spe-
cial note Of it. He spoke of Col.
Brooks as ~. Reversible Brooks of
Dark Lantern Fame in Columbia"
Il have taken no part in the races
of any OF the other candidates" said
the Governor. Il have been asked
about the state Treasurers race, but
have refrained from saying a single
thing. But l warn Brooks to keep out
of this fight. for if he doesn't | will
take part in the campaign and l will
tell something that will cost some of
his friends big vote" This was pre-
|sumably in reference to Mr.. s. T.
Carter, who, it is understood. is a
relative of Col. Brooks.
Governor Blease said that if any
"low down, drunken hobo wants to
cecome O. gentleman, let him write
some vile attack about me-" that he
could get it published in the Columbia
State and was Immediately pronounc-
ed a gentleman.
In answer to a reference by Judge
Jones as to lawyers fees for securing
pardons. the Governor said no lawyer
would take the trouble Of looking up
the records in a case, securing sign
ers for petitions, go to Columbia and
present the case for nothing. Wheth-
er or not this is a point of ethics in
the profession is not known, but Gov
ernor Blease declared that no law
yer would do the work attendant up
on securing a pardon without COM
pensation.
Governor Blease today gave some
estimates as To how much he would
beat Jones'" He said he would beat
him 2 to l in Lancaster County, the
home county Of his opponent; that
he would beat him in his native coun-
ty, Newberry; in the county in which
he married, Saluda; and in Richland
where he sa, or sixteen years on the

ernor, "I'll beat him 800 or 400 votes

Food for Thought for the Tax Prayers

Food for Thought for the Tax Prayers.
Does it ever occur to the average tax
payer that we are after all an extrayag
CANT and impractical people? The
biggest bill that the community or
| state which tolerates the legalized ga
loon has to pay Is its drink bill. About
the next largest is for the maintenance
OF such institutions asjuvenile courts,
detention homes, orphan asylums.
boys and girls reformatories, rescue
missions, insane asylums, work houses
and penitentiaries, all made necessary
by the drink evil
Does it ever occur to the taxpayer
that if for the period Of ten years, we
were to put out existence the saloon,
the enorous bill we are now footing an
! nualy for the care of the poor and sick
and neglected and unfortunate in the
great county and state institutions
would come to be negligible quanti-
ty?
Does it ever occur to the taxpayers
that by abolishing the saloon, many
Of the men for whom they are now
paying taxes would soon come to pay
taxes on their own account Does it
ever occur to the Taxpayers that the
drinking men ofthe county are paying
over the bar Of the open bar of the sa-
loon what little tax the saloon keepe r
boasts SO loudly of paying aud that in
addition they are swelling the already
bursting Golfers of the arrogant whlsk-
ey trusts
The mau who is paying taxes, either
directly, over the bars of the saloons,
should think seriously of this situation
even from the sordid basis OF dollars
and cents.
| am for the proposed amendment TO
the constitution of West Virginia be-
cause it is right under grounds of re-
ligion and morals and of patriotic and
social obligations, and expedient from
consideration of political economy,
and material prosperity and human
happiness.
A bush ess that makes criminals,
paupers, helpless physical and morsl
wrecks, shortens life, makes widows
and orphans, and imposes heavy bur-
dens of taxes to punish criminals, to
support paupers, to provide jails, peni-
tentaries, hospitals and reformatories
and furnish inmates thereof, has no
right to exist, and no vested rights in
its breweries, distilleries and saloons
that may not be confscated as deadly
foes to the body polite and Corporate,

The Palace of Blessedness.
The foundation of the Palace of Bless
edness is Humility. None can ever hope
for share in the Messianic Kingdom
except as he is Undetermined. BLESS
ed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is
the Kingdom of heaven" To such and
such only will this great blessing come.
1t would never do for God to accept
as a member of the Kingdom class one
possessed of the spirit of pride and
selfish ambition.

foundation of Humility, on the ground
floor of the Palace, is the chamber or

The Palace Library is Weakness. None
can successfully be taught of the Lord
without the quality of meekness or
teachableness. Into this Library the
follower of Jesus must frequently so,
there to learn valuable lessons, with
out which he could not make progress
in his faith-building and characterize

they shall inherit the earth AS MEM

will come into the full possession or

mankind will be uplifted out OF sin
and death to perfect manhood, redeem

The DiRing-rOom: hunger for righteous
ness. All who win be joint-heirs with
Christ will be lovers of righteousness
and haters of iniquity, in likeness OF
the Redeemer. 1t IS very important,
therefore. that in our Palace of Bless
