In An Address is to Review
the School Progress in
This State.

WASHINGTON, Jan 1O.-The Hon.
NJ. P. Shawkey, state superintendent
of public schools in West Virginia,
has notified the Southern Commercial
Congress that he will deliver before
its fourth annual convention, in Nash
vcille, in April, an address comparing,
by public school statistics the edu-
cational conditions in West Virginia
in the Years 1860 and 1910. He will
also voice the aspirations and in
tentions of the progressive elements
of West Virginia regarding the future
of education in that state.
Mr.. shawkey's speech falls into
the plan of the congress to prove by
speeches from southern states, the
contrast between conditions now and
fifty years ago; in other words "The
south's Educational Recovery"

STATE
Democrats Flock to Washing
ton to See the Circus Old
Dame Puts On.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 10
Washington has been filed with
West Virginia Democrats who came
to attend the Jackson Day dinner
and to be here for the
Democratic National Committee
meeting. None of them seemed
to have any particular bust
ness on hand and politics was not
discussed to any great extent, it be-
ing largely gathering of individ-
uals who called to get in closer
touch with the national political sit
uation and to rub up against some
of the notables who have been
here.
Lawrence Tierney. Lewis Bennett
and Stuart W. Walker, each OF
whom has been mentioned to con-
siderable extent in connection with
the nomination for governor, have
been here, but not one of them
seemed to be in any way pressing
his claim for the nomination. APP
parently not one of the number is
seeking the nomination although
each has been discussed throughout
the state.
Col. McGraw was busy with his
duties as national committeeman in
favoring the claims Of Baltimore for
the convention and Wilson, for the
nomination for President, and had
but little time to see any of the
West virgtnians who nave been
here.
While several officers and mem
bers of the Democratic state com
mittee we're among the number of
those who attended the dinner, no
meeting was held and no informal
discussion took place. They seemed
to be here simply as individuals. and
there was absolutely no political
meeting of any kind in which the
West Virginians participated.
Among those who came here for
the dinner we're National Commit
teeman McGraw, Judge w. G. Ben
nett, chairman of the Democratic
State Committee; George I. Neal,
vice chairman of the state commits
tee; A. E. Kennedy, secretary of
the state committee: Senator Gray

knows very well, or as lawyer
should know, that 1t means nothing
of the kind. Mr.. Beyeridge has given
what is perhaps the best definition
which the progressive party accepts
when he says:
THE referendum means that when
the peoples servants in the legisla-
ture pass a bad law that hurts the
people, then the people themselves,
shall say at the ballot box whether
they want that law or not. If the ma
jority of the people vote against that
law, it ceases to be law. If the
majority of the people vote for that
law, then 1t continues to be law.
1.-THE recall means that when the
people elect a public servant, and he
turns out to be bad or foolish man,
who does the peoples work poorly
or dishonesty, then the people may
discharge him from their service,
exactly as any business man or other
employer discharges dishonest, or
incompetent employe from his SER
vice, exactly as farmer discharges
an incompetent or dishonest hand.
Wherever the initiative, referendum,
or recall has been tried the people
will not give them up
Mr.. Hughes says Colonel Roose-
welt makes it personal matter He
says Il will discharge, will put the
public servant OUT ! challenge Mr..
Hughes to point out single speech
of the ex-president in which he says
anything having the slightest resemb-
lance to any such definition. Mr..
Hughes has a vivid Imagination; but
that does not prove his right to false
definitions.
We can find the secret of Mr..
Hughes peculiar statements and def
initions when We read This Is the
man as see him" Well, that does
not make any difference. Mr.. Hughes
does not always see we'll when any
questions which deal with progress
come up for consideration. What he
sees, and things as they are, may be
widely separated. l have a suspicion
and a conviction that what Mr..
Hughes will see bye and bye, will be
something totally different from the
things he sees now. Among other
things, he need not get ready for the
funeral of the progressive party. 1t
is here to stay The advise he gives
at the end of his letter Is nullified by
the statements like those have
pointed out. 1t may be that Mr..
Hughes will not find the common
people whom he advises to sit still,
taking his advice seriously. He will
find that there is one thing true in
his letter: The common people are
really wise, honest, and sincere, and
he will find the proof of this in the
stability Of the new party TIE fact
that a majority of these same com
mon people are progressive and tired

The achange of life is most
critical period in a woman's ex-
istence, and the anxiety felt by
women as it draws near is not
without reason.
When her system is in a de-
ranged condition, she may be
predisposed to apoplexy, or con-
gestion of some organ. AT this
time, also, cancers and tumors
are more liable to form and begin
their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as
sense of sufocation, hot flashes,
headaches, backaches, dread of
impending evil, timidity, sounds
in the ears, palpitation of the
heart, sparks before the eyes,
irregularities, constipation, vari-
able appetite, weakness and
inquietude, and dizziness, are
promptly needed by intelligent
women who are approaching the
period in life when woman's
great change may be expected.
These symptoms are calls from
nature for help. The nerves are
crying out for assistance and the
cry should be needed in time.
Lydia E. Pinkhanl's Vegetable

the needs of women's system at

The naming of the lake
For somebody's dear sake
Is causing many a smile and many

One wants it for his mother,
Another for his brother,
And then they turn the whole thirg

We may argue till we're dumb,
We may think we have plum
But survival of the fittest's a good
rule.
There were Indians galore
Fitting swift from shore to shore
But to know them we shah have 10

Keokuk was not saint,
To his name there is faint.
And we want our lake the purest OF

But twould only be shame,

Up and down the shores of what il

They'll be flooded out of sight,
How the scientists will fight

The places are so few

And the Indian may take
