Notwithstanding the fact that W. X.
Bennett OF Fayette County has resigned
from the bench after the Governor had
been asked to call special session OF the
legislature to consider his impeachment,
il is not INTENDED that Judge Bennett may
escape impeachment in this manner II he
should be rejected in November. Con-
gresham Davis, a member OF the Judi
ciary Committee who was active in the
preparation in the impeachment charges
of Judge Archibald, has been asked by
West Virginians for the rulings OF the
Judiciary Committee to the effect that a
Judge may be impeached during one term
of office for offenses committed during a
previous term of service. II was stated
by those asking for this information that
in the event of Judge Benefits election
the impeachment proceedings against him
will be prosecuted before the next leg
iSlature.
The bill providing for the lodning OF
brass or bronze cannon to various cities

introduced respectively by Senator Wat
son, Congressman Brown and Congress
man Hamilton.
Senator Watson has been buSily en-
gagged in sending out bulletins from the
Department of Agriculture on hog chol-
era to the owners of swine in Jefferson
County where that disease has broken
out. Senator Watson has also arranged
with the Department of Agriculture to
send vaccine with instructions for its use
in the prevention of the blackleg disease
among cattle to the owners OF cattle in
Mineral and Grant Counties.
Senator Chiffon has introduced reSo-
luton providing for an amendment to the
constitution of the United States regard
ing the veto power of the President. In
view OF the recent vetoes by President
Taft of measures intended to benefit the
people generally and the inability OF Con-
Qress to pass them over his veto. Sen
ator Chiffon has proposed that majority
OF each House may pass bill over the
Presidents veto instead ofrequiring two
thirds of each House, as the Constitution
now prescribes. A resolution was in
troduced just before adjournment and
will 20 over until the December session
for consideration.
Congressman Brown left Washington

1T looks to us as if the Hon. Theodore
Roosevelt is in considerable Of a hole.
AT a hearing before Senate investigat-
ing committee last week John D. Arch
bold, the active head Of the Standard Oil
Company-the man who does the fine
work among the politicians and states
men-testified directly and unequivocally
that his company had in 1904 contributed
$l25. 900 to the Republican campaign fund
for the election of Roosevelt as President.
He also declared that this was not salts
factory to the Republican managers. and
Treasurer Bliss demanded $l50, 900 more,
which was, however. refused. Archbold
further distinctly stated that the contribu-
ton of Sl25.000 was made with the ex-
plicit understanding that Roosevelt was
to be informed of if and that it should be
acceptable TO him. the plain inference
being made that the Standard Oil Com
pany fully expected value received in
the way of governmental favors. Sen
ator Boies Penrose, of Pennsylvania,
through whom a part of the contribution
was made, thoroughly corroborated Arch
bold in every particular. Treasurer Bliss,
the other party in the transaction, is dead
and so his lips are sealed.
With his usual readiness, Colonel
Roosevelt responds to these disclosures
by calling everybody "liars! |" Then he
hedges by saying that II the Standard Oil
Company really did contribute so largely
il did so without his consent. II will,
however, take most trusting partisan to
believe that the beneficiary OF this and
other large contributions was so utterly
ignorant of the source of the money that
was used to elect him. We confess that
we cannot bring ourselves to believe that
he was so innocent and unsuSpecting-
or so wilfully blind.
II will be recalled that when Judge
Parker made the direct charge that the
great lie insurance companies had given
enormous sums to aid Roosevelt and the
Republican party In 1904, Roosevelt
howled "liarl p long and loud. Subse-
quent events showed that Judge Parker
was exactly right, and II was demon
strated with mathematical accuracy that
the money rightfully belonging to The
policy-holders and widows and orphans
had been given by dishonest officials,
including Roosevelfs closest friends, to
elect him President. Those who are
willing to believe that he knew nothing
of this have, Of course, the privilege to
do so.

ed disease that science has been able to
cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only positive
cure now known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being a constitutional disease,
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and mu-
eous surfaces of the system, thereby de-
stroying the foundation OF the disease,
and giving the patient strength by build
ing up the constitution and assisting ma

Now that the two wings Of the Repub-
lican party have had such falling out
and are beginning to tell on each other,
the public will learn some interesting
facts in regard to the way the elections
have been bought and how candidates
were named by the trusts and financial
interests. Of course, most persons knew
that big business controlled the Repubh-
can administrations of recent years, but
there were few who knew that the trusts
owned the party. body and soul.

ONE OF the good things done at the re-
cent session OF Congress was the enact
ment OF a law providing for paroles post
system. While il is not entirely salts
factory in every respect to the friends OF
this movement, it is the first step In the
right direction and will 20 long way
toward relieving the people from the ex-
tortions Of the express companies. The
law will not only provide a cheaper
method Of handling small paekages-if
will inevitably bring the express eompa-
niles to their senses and compel reduc-
ton in their schedules. They have rob-
bed the people long time, but relief IS
now in sight.

LUST before Congress adjourned on
Monday a petition was presented in the
Senate making charges as to the election
of Senators Watson and Chiffon by the
West Virginia Legislature, and asking for
an investigation Of the case. The papers
were signed Governor Glasscock. VIM.
Seymour Edwards, H. c. Ogden and
several other prominent West Virginia.
The papers were filed, but some indig-
nation was manifested at the presenting
of the papers at such a late day. The
charges were those aired in the newspa-
pers year and a-half ago, and why they
should have been delayed until this time
Is a puzzle for the curious.

THE Philadelphia North American on
Tuesday published statistics showing
how the Beef Trust meets competition In
Europe and thus discriminates against
Americans. In New York on Monday
American beef was quoted at from II IL
to Fl cents pound wholesale, while in
london the same grades of American
beef were quoted at several cents less
and this after shipping 1t 5000 miles
across the sea. The reason for this dis
elimination is plain-we can have no
foreign competition because the infamous
Payne-Aldrich tariff bill shuts out foreign
meats by prohibitive duty. and the peo-
pie are at the mercy Of the rich meat
packers of Chicago, Kansas City and ST.
Louis.

ONE thing is sure-the Standard vi
Company will not support Roosevelt this
wear. The chief Bull Moose has called
John D. Archbold a liar, and that IS a
fighting word to the head OF the great
OH Trust. He has promised to make
things interesting for Roossvelt-and we
believe that he can do it.

INVESTIGATORS are beginning to IND
out now who does the buying and bribing
at election times. The next thing is 10
discover the fellows who are selling their
votes, which is just as culpable. And
while il is important to catch the big fish,
il is no less desirable to get the little ones
that are rotten also.

1T is astonishing that the Democratic
sarty has been able 10 make such good
showing during the past sixteen years,
in view of the revelations made recently
as to the methods OF campaigning On the
part of the Republicans. The Standard
Oil Company, the big life insurance COM
panies, the great financial institutions,
the trusts and combinations OF every sort,
have been lined up solidly for the Re-
publican candidates and have poured
millions of dollars into the campaign
funds. With all these influences against
them, il Is no wonder that the Democrats
failed to win-the wonder is that they
have done so well.

1T will avail nothing for Colonel Roose-
welt and his friends to hurl anathema
against the trusts. He did nothing to
check them when he was in power, tor
they flourished during his term OF otfice
as never before. More significant Still IS
the fact that his campaign for reelection
for another term is being financed by
Geo. w. Perkins, head Of the great Har-
vester Trust and right-hand man Ct J..
Pierpont Morgan. Perkins and his wall
Street allies are not in politics for the tun
of it, nor are they supporting Roosevelt
without full knowledge Of what they
would get in case he was elected. Roose-
Welt may not know it-but Perkins does.

NEW PARCELS POST STAMPS.
Larger Than Ordinary Issues and of
Characteristic Designs.

Larger Than Ordinary Issues and of
Characteristic Designs.
When the new parcels post system
becomes operative on Jan. twelve
new stamps will be placed on sale in
postoffices for affixing to packages.
These stamps will be larger than the
ordinary postage stamps. Arrange
ments already made by Postmaster
General Hitchcock for their engraving
and manufacture provide for a. series
of an even dozen so distinctive as TO
color and size as to prevent possible
confusion with other stamps.
The twelve stamps will be issued in
three series of designs. In the first
series modern methods of transport
ing mail will be illustrated. The mail
car of railway train will be shown
on one stamp. an ocean steamer on an
other. the third will have motor
wagon of the type used in the postal
service. and the fourth will show
mail carrying aeroplane. Postal en-
ployees will be shown at work in the
second series. The figures will be
those of railway mail clerks, postoffice
clerks. city letter carriers and rural
free delivery carriers. The third Sc
ries will represent four industrial
zones. showing the principal sources
of products that will be transported
most extensively by parcels post
By Dec. the stamps will probably
be ready for distribution to the 10000
postotfices in the country.
