Slowly the clearing lifted out Of the

checked the skiff by a backward
stroke OF the oars.

There was no immediate answer to
his hail. and he called again as he
sent the skitf forward. He felt that
he was risking all now.

The Part That Whiskey p lays.

AT the last election West Virginia voted
for a constitutional amendment, to take
effect July /, 1914, prohibiting the manu-
facture and sale OF liquors in this State.
The amendment was adopted by a ma
jority OF 81 900 votes. Only three coun-
ties out of fifty-five gave a majority
against the amendment. The vote was
surprise. The large vote in favor OF the
amendment was no doubt due to pro-
test against certain corrupt conditions
connected with the liquor traffic in some
counties OF the State. Saloon licenses
were farmed out through the County
Court, or Board of Commissioners, by
certain firms who sought monopoly OF
the traffic. No one not agreeable to these
firms could secure a license from the
County Court. The licensees were COM
PEELED to buy their supplies from these
local firms at arbitrary prices. The sa-
loon men themselves made little money.
These local liquor rings controlled the
politics of their counties, and it was the
general belief that membership on the
County Court was an open sesame to
sudden wealth. In some cases the MEM
bers OF the court were charged with re-
ceiving large salaries from these liquor
firms in addition to the salary paid by
the State. The County Courts and the
local liquor monopolists were also &C
cused of political alliances with coal
mine operators, who sought control OF
the courts, the prosecuting attorneys
office, and other local offices. In many
of the counties in the State the liquor in
terests did more to corrupt local politics
and politicians than all other causes COM
bined. II is safe to say that the liquor
people themselves furnished stronger
arguments for the amendment then all
the preachments Of reformers and evan
gelists. In due course we shall print a
series or articles which will include,
among other aspects of the liquor buSi-
ness, its control of law and the inStru-
ments OF justice in some communities.

To Feeble Old People.

AS one grows old the waste OF the
system becomes more rapid than re-
pair, the organs act more slowly and
less effectually than in youth, the cir
culation is poor, the blood thin and
digestion weak.
Vinol our delicious cod liver and
iron tonic without oil. is the ideal
strengthener and body-builder for old
folks, for it contains the very ele-
ments needed to rebuild wasting It's
sues and replace weakness with
strength. Vinol also fortifies the sys-
TEN against colds and thus prevents
pneumonia.
A grandneice of Alexander Hamil-
ton. over eighty years Of age, once
remarked: "Vinol Is godsend to old
people. Thanks to Vinol, l have a
hearty appetite, sleep soundly, feel
active and well. 1t is the finest tonic
and strength-creator have ever
used"

THERE seems to be good deal OF un-
certainty as to what the result will be
when the Republicans of the West Viz
ginia Legislature undertake to ballot for
a United States Senator. Davis Elkins,
of Washington and New York, appears
to have the greatest strength, which ap-
parently means the latest pocketbook
but he has worthy foemen in this respect
in the persons of William Seymour Ed
wards and Col. Ike Mann. The regular
Republicans and the Progressives are
not very sharply divided, and the honor,
like as not, will 60 to the highest bidder.
II has been suggested that the Demo-
Gratis refrain from making caucus nomi-
nation, as they have no earthly chance
OF electing Senator, and each man vote
to suit himself. This would cause deal
OF uneasiness in the Republican camp,
but we fail to see where it would help
the Democratic party.
