regularity May interfere.

When woodrow Wilson becomes
president, he will be the head OF the
Democratic party nationally, pro-
vided william Jennings Bryan lets
him be.
at this time many Democrats
seeking Office are emphasizing their
party regularity hoping thus to per-
suade Wilson that it is his duty to
appoint them to Office The SheP-
herdstown Register very pointedly
directs attention to the alleged fact
that woodrow Wilson has been
lighting party regularity as prac-
ticed by the party bosses in New
Jersey, and basing the president
elects future action along this line
on his record, that newspaper sees
but little chance of the BOSSES hav-
ing a great amount Of Influence on
wilson by setting forth to MIN their
party regularity. 1t may be, how
ever. that when Wilson. becomes the
real head boss OF his party, his
views will change and his practices
will be different. The Registers ed
itoriaI on this subject is as follows:
There seems to be a general pro
test in West virginia against what
is termed the ofice-appointing trust
that certain more or less successful
politicians are seeking to establish
for their own advantage and for the
benefit Of a close ring Of bosses A
small number of these bosses are
going to try to dictate the appoint
ments to be made by the Democratic
administration, and are practicing
the war-cry OF party regularity as
their slogan. We rather think that
they will have to show some better
credentials than party regularity to
President Wilson. He knows very
we'll what crimes are committed IN
the name Of party regularity. and
the greatest fight that he ever made
was against Jim Smith, the "resu-
lar" party boss in his own state.
It is one thinS Tor party leaders
to nominate capable, deserving
creditable men to fill positions OF
honor and service.
It is quite another for political
bosses to push forward their satei-
lites who are only useful as seq
ments Of a political ring.

PACKAGE
Question is Considered at a
Meeting Of Window Glass
Manufacturers

PTTTSBURG. Pa, Dec. 16.-The
IGIassworker annuonces that an i'm
iDortant meeting of window glass
manufacturers operating hand plants
was held last wednesday at the Fort
Pitt hotel, Pittsburg, at which aP-
proximateIy LOO pots we're represent
ed. o. C. league, of the Utica Glass
Co. Utica, O.. acted as chairman, and
u. Scott Walker. OF the Smethport
Glass Co., smethport, Pa, attended TO
the duties Of secretary. 1t was a
thoroughly representative gathering
and a number of questions OF general
trade importance were up for discus
sion.
The package question was the prin-
eipaI topic discussed and it was the
consensus of opinion that boxing
charge should be put into effect After
considerable discussion it was finally
brought out that the majority present
favored the proposition becoming
effective on or about Saturday, De-.
cember 81. According TO window
glass authorities this means an adj
vance in prices averaging about ten
Fer cent. This being the case there
win likely be quite a rush on the part
of the buying trade to get its orders
placed before the new order OF things
become effective.
There is still weeks time in which
70 fill requirements and it would APP
near that it would be good policy on
the part of jobbers and dealers gen
orally to get in out OF the wet before
the boxing charge IS put in force
Comparatively speaking, there as nc
great surplus of glass in the hands Oh
manufacturers at the present time, SO
it behooves the trade to set busy al
the earliest opportunity.
Another important topic discussed
at the meeting was the tariff question
and some very interesting views were
expressed by the participants in the
debate. Future curtaifment Of pro-
ducticn was also touched upon, but
nothing definite was done during the
session
As far as general trade and market
conditions are concerned the situation
appears to be favorable. a goodiy
amount of business was transacted
during the last week and eliminating
the usual Iuu incident to the approach
of the holiday season there appears to
be no cause for apprehension regard
ing the trade in general in the i'm
mediate future.
Affairs are shaping up pretty nicely
and present conditions are 50 much
better than during the last two years
that there is hardly any need to make
a comparison. The workmen- n thi
main, are steadily employed, and in
most localities an excellent produc-
ton is reported by the manufacturers.

Clark Men seek omees.

All remember how the high and
low bosses in the Democratic party
in this state held a state delegate
convention at Petersburg and in
structed the delegates chosen at that
convention to vote for Champ Clark
in the Baltimore convention for
president. No wilson man had a
look in at that state convention
It was the same all over the state
except in one or two congressional
districts. In this district the bosses
did not dare to instruct the dele
gates for Clark but they did choose
Clark men as delegates
VividIy, do Telegram readers re-
member how most of the delegates
from this state acted in the Balti-
more convention, former Governor
William a. MaeCorkle going So far
as to denounce utterances by Viii
liam Je1nigs Bryan as silly and
senseIess. It was not until the very
end of the struggle that the West
Virginia CLARK men in the conven-
ton surrendered They did it then
with sore disappointment and much
reluctance.
Their actions are not as easily
forgotten as they would have, now
that several of them and the big
and big and little bosses. members

the two big bosses. and county pol

the fact that Wilson adherents be-
fore and after his nomination are
entitled to a goodIy share Of the
ME and to the more prominent
pIaces at the pie counter. These
original Wilson men are beginning
10 open up their guns in the party
fray. of which the following by the
shepherdstown Register is a sample
hotIy-fired shot:

up to the task OF choosing one and

Did you ever 4car OF womanless
republic:
Well, there IS one OF a peninsula
south Of Macedonia. in Greece. where
1900 men live, studying and praying
constantly.
Policemen guard the lands constant
~ to keep out women pilgrims and
other undesirable guests.
This place is called the Mount Of the
Twenty Monasteries and was used in
ancient times as signaling station,
but is now a real republic.
These 10000 monks govern them
selves without Interference from Tur-
key or any other country. There are,
however, 10 government buildings, no
president or other oficeholders.

men. who patrol the coast 10 keep out
women and men who have no permit

tries. Only those who have a letter
Of permission from the Greek patriarch
in Constantluope are allowed to enter
the holy place.
Some reports have II that this re-
public was formed in the ninth cen
fury. 1t is said that the foot Of WON
an has not touched the soil Of the
place for centuries
The monks who live On the place
work the soil little. but they depend
chiefly upon contributions from Pill
grlms for their existence. Probably
the greatest collection Of Biblical man
