Nothing could be finer than the
resolution adopted by the progress
Ives Of New Hampshire as a guide
tc their representative in the Legis-
lature:
Whereas, the progressive members
OF the incoming Legislature hold the
balance of power in that body; and
Whereas, this fact places grave
responsibility upon their shoulders;
therefore
Be it resolved, That 1t is the sense
OF this meeting that the progress
i've members Of the Legislature abso-
utely refuse to trade with either the
republican or the democratic party;
refuse to compromise on any ques-
ton involving men or principles and
So to act on all measures that come
before them that 1t may truthfully
be said that they have put principle
above party or hope Of personal adj
vancement of any individual for any
Office.

1t is hard 20 state human lives IN
terms of dollars and cents, but
probably DR.. Mclaughlin did not =.
aggerate in telling the association Of
life insurance presidents in New
York that typhoid is costing the
United States $500, 100000 year.
Incidentally it kills $4,000 people Or
as many as a considerable war, and
to life insurance men that is not a
merely sentimental argument. That
the greater part Of this loss is avoid
able appears from the fact that il
so of our largest cities the death
rate per 100, 900 from typhoid, is %,
while in .33 of the principal cities Of
northern Europe it is but 6 IL.
That means that some $4,000 OF the
$4,000 who die every year from
typhoid fever In the United States
might probably be saved by better
sanitation This 10 reform upon
which effort should be strongly con-
centrated.

SENATOR WATSON.

It matters not what kind of man
the Republicans will send to Wash
ipgton to succeed Senator Clarence
w Watson a. great many people in
the state are of the opinion that he
will not be as useful and efficient
representative in the United States
Senate as has been the case with
Senator Watson. The latter, with
his large business experience and ca
pable Judgment, in the short time
that-he has been in the senate has
proven to be a distinct advantage to
tie state of West Virginia. The
state Is certainly loser by the re-
tirement Of Senator Watson

WAYMAN is IN QUITE A /
PEEVED STATE OF MIND

States Attorney john r. w.
Wayman, his assistant, Roy Fair
bank, and the members of the late
grand jury held a love feast at the
Union League club today.
1t is said that Spencer Otis,
president of the Spencer Otis
railroad supply company and late
grand juror, put up for the feed.
Wayman, except toward the
late grand jurors, is in a very
peeved state of mind.
In the first place, the petitions
to have Wayman's name put on
the ballot for states attorney as
an independent candidate, which
recently were spread broadcast
over the city, are not meeting
much success.
Which is perhaps the reason
that Waynlan still insists that he
is not candidate for reelection,
although he admits the circula-
ton of the petitions.
Wayman also is in an embar-
RAISING position about his assist
ant, Charles V. Barrett, whom
Carl Waldron accuses of trying
to prevent the prosecution of
Louis Weiss, dive keeper.
Before Waldron gave out the
name of the assistant states at
torney who did this, Wayman
said he would fire him. Now all
Barrett's friends are jumping on
Wayman's neck to save Barrett.
Wayman has taken no action to-
ward firing Barrett yet.
