vorably the Kenyon bill forbidding the

AN unfaithful federal judge, Cornelius
H. Hanford, of the State of Washington,
has escaped impeachment proceedings
by resigning his office. Judge Arch
bald, who is charged with improper con-
duct on the bench, will stand trial before
the Senate, but it is likely to be removed
from office. The unworthiness of these
two men is known to the country, but
what we would like to know is, how did
they manage to get their appointment in
the first place?

DURING the past couple OF weeks Gov
ernor Woodrow Wilson has received
more than 1000 letters from prominent
Republicans in every section of the country
promising him their votes and influence
this in addition to many thousands OF
Others who are simply plain, ordinary
voters. These straws show which way
the wind is blowing.

In statement issued few days ago
Governor Glasscock of West Virginia
announces that he will support the State
and congressional tickets, but this is as
( ar as he goes. He intimates rather plain
ly, on the other hand, that if Roosevelt is
nominated at Chicago on August 9TH he
will cast his lot with him and oppose
President Taft.

THE State ticket nominated last week
by the Democrats is one that is worthy
of the support of all the people, and 1t
ought to be elected. William r. Thomp-
son. who heads the ticket as candidate
for Governor, is man to be absolutely
trusted in the high office to which ne as
pires-a clean, able, honorable gentle
man who will have full appreciation OF
his duties, and wisdom and courage to
carry out the things for which he stands.
The State has not, within our recollec-
lion. had a more acceptable man pre-
sented for Governor. The other men on
the ticket are of high character and ability,
put up by the people themselves and not
dictated by party bosses. We ind no
fault in any of them personally nor in the
things for which they stand.
We do not mean to make any invidious
comparisons nor to cast any aspersions
on the Republican candidates. But we
submit that the best interests OF the State
demand a change. The opposition party
has been in power long enough. Its
candidates are more for party predomi-
nance than the States welfare, and they
are obligated to political ring that should
be broken up. 1t is not only that the
State officials themselves should be
changed-it is equallyimportant that many
of the State institutions should have a
change of management and that the books
should be opened to the criticism OF the
opposite party.
The voters will be benefiting them
selves if they use their influence tor a
change in West Virginia.

This week is known as "cedar destruc-
ton week" in Frederick county, Va.
when it is desired that every person on
whose property cedar trees are growing
will cut them down and burn them or
give the Frederick County Fruit Growers
Association permission to do so. Cedar
rust is doing great damage to the apple
orchards in that section, and after ex-
haustive investigations made by federal
and State experts, il is declared that the
only way to eradicate cedar rust in the
large commercial apple orchards is to cut
down and burn the cedar trees of the
county. The growers say that there is
no value to the cedar trees, anyhow.
A newspaper item from Cumberland,

grab the ankle of sleeping girl was too
great for James Petrie, who gave Har-

suit of grabbing it and giving it a swing
whilepassing through the girls room as
he was escaping from the house Of 6. c.
Hawkins, after ransacking the house for
booty, Petrie is now in jail here. He
was given hearing by Justice Humbird
and held for the October term of court in
81 600 bail. Petrie is thought to have
had help and his supposed assistant is
under police surveillance. He was cap
tured only after hard chase and after
Sergeant Keinhoffer had fired at the flee
ing man twice. A number of articles
were stolen, among them two gold
watches, gold bracelet, jewel case and
a suit of clothes. The burglar overlooked
$l72 in cash which was in one of the
rooms he ransacked.

In The Northwestern, a publication
of the Chicago & Northwestern Rail-

mick of the Menominee Sugar company
is quoted as follows:
"'With reference to the growing of
sugar beets in the northern counties OF
Wisconsin, | would state that the first
and most important essentials for the
success of this crop are suitable soils
and favorable climate coneitions. From
my observations in visiting the sugar
beet growing districts in Ohio, Michi-
gan and Wisconsin, Colorado, Montana
and California, | am obliged to say that
nowhere in any of these districts are
the soil and climatic conditions so IA
vorable as those in the northern part of
Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of
Michigan.
"As a rule the soils are of sandy
loan and clay loan character and the
land is sufficiently rolling to permit of
good natural drainage These soils,
consisting largely of glacial deposits,
ere fertile and possess the necessary
ingredients for the successful growing
of sugar beets not only producing a
good yield in tonnage per acre but the
sugar content and the purity of the
Juices in the beets are of an exception
ally high quality. In fact, the beets
grown in this district are the best that
are produced anywhere east of the
Rocky Mountains.
