OUR good friend, Governor GlaSscock,
expresses fear that the Democrats, if they
win in November, will redistrict the State
to the disadvantage OF the Republican
party. The Governor will have to admit
that there is no probability of the Demo-
Gratis treating the Republicans any worse
than the Republicans treated the Demo-
Gratis when the State was redistricted by
his party in 1900. And as for disfranchis-
ing the voters, wouldn't il be a good thing
in the interest of public morals to dis
franchise the mine mules and bulldogs in
Mcdowell and Mingo counties that have
been used to roll up maiorities for certain
candidates in the black belt in recent
years 2

A READER of the Register calls our at
tention to an extravaganza in the admin
istration of the government that ought to
be corrected, but which goes on year after
year because of political influence. II is
the maintenance of custom houses at
ports where there is no longer any need
for them and where there are practically
no import duties to be collected. The
government statistics show that in 1911
at Elizabeth City, N. c., the receipts from
customs duties were S., and the expenses
of collecting them were $2,S67; at Beau
fort, N. c., receipts $45, expenses 81 COS;
at Natchez, Miss, receipts 81, expenses
$57S; at Bristol, R. l., receipts SIS, ex-
penses $244; at Castine, Maine. receipts
1878, expenses 1906; at Edgartown.
Mass, receipts 1921, expenses g, $50; at
Barnstable, Mass. receipts $675. expenses
$3.50. And SO with long, long list
equally bad and extending from one end
of our coast to the other.
Even an enormously rich government
can find no justification in such palpably
unbusinesslike methods.

THE announcement is made that the
price of shoes is again to be advanced.
The excuse given is the flimsy one that
so much leather is used in the manufac-
ture of automobiles that this commodity
has become scarce and high.
The real reason is that which applies
to almost every other article that COM
mands an extravagant price-nobody is
satisfied in these days with fair profit.
The manufacturer wants to get rich be-
yond the dreams of avarice in the short
est possible time, and, following his ex-
ample, every other person handling
product also seeks more than he ought
to have in the way Of profit. BY the
time the article gets to the consumer il
is loaded and overloaded with excessive
costs-and there you arel

There is more Catarrh in this section
OF the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For great
many years doctors pronounced it To-
cal disease and prescribed local reme-
dies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced il in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to
be a constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. !. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
II is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to teaspoonful. II acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces of the

The progressives in the Republican
party who regard Colonel Roosevelt as
the only Moses who can lead them into
the promised land will hold their national
convention in Chicago on August 9TH.
There is not as much enthusiasm over the
proposed convention as its supporters
could wish, and many of the most proml-
nent progressives, such as Senator LaFol-
lette, will have nothingto do with it. The
Rooseveltians put off their convention
too long. If they had assembled right
after the stealing of the nomination for
President Taft they would have done
much better, for it is usually bestto strike
while the iron is hot. But having post
poned the convention, the people have
had too much time to reflect, and reflec-
ton shows that there is not much hope
of winning with third party. Accord
ingly, there will only be left the handful
who really and truly have the cause OF
the progressives at heart-and not all OF
these, for many of them recognize in
Woodrow Wilson the real hope OF the
country for those reforms that are so nee
essary and which this clear-headed, able,
honest gentleman can be depended upon
to push to successful accomplishment.

An Outing for st. PauI's Choir Boys.
On the 18th inst. the boy-choir of St.

was delightfully."- entertained by the rector
Of Antietam parish. the Rev. c. E. Shaw,
and wife, at St. Marks rectory, Lappan's.
The boys, accompanied by Miss Bertha
Mumma, choir-mother, and Helen High
berger, organist, left Sharpsburg at nine
o'clock, going by way of Keedysville
and Boonsboro, over the Devils Back
bone," stopping at the electric plant to
see its machinery, and arriving at their
destination about noon-ready and will
ing to enjoy the feast of good things
spread before them. The afternoon was
devoted to baseball, croquet and other
games which only boy knows how to
enjoy. After partaking of another boun-
tiful repast, they departed for home,
thanking their host and hostess for most
enjoyable day which will long be re-
membered by all who were there.

1T has been made quite plain by Sena-
tor LaFollette, of Wisconsin, that he has
no more regard for the political preten-
sions of Colonel Roosevelt than he has
for the ambitions of President Taft. He
has expressed the highest admiration for
Woodrow Wilson, and it would not be
surprising if he comes out unequivocally
for the Democratic candidate, whom he
recognizes as true progressive.

THE Michigan progressives who favor
the election of Col. Roosevelt have cut
entirely loose from the Republican party.
At their State convention last week they
decided, by practically unanimous vote,
to put full ticket. both State and national,
in the field. President Taft was denoun-
ced for having stolen the nomination and
his friends and supporters were repudiat-
ed as being unworthy of confidence.
This means another State for Woodrow
Wilson.

THE West Virginia Republicans seem
TO be for that sort of harmony which will
bring them the greatest personal gain.
The State ticket is willing to let the
Roosevelt electors stand, provided the
progressives will not put up third party
ticket; while the Roosevelt people will
be satisfied if the Hatfield wing will not
insist upon Taft electors on the national
ticket. This arrangement seems to be
Agreeable to everybody-except Taft.

THOSE enthusiastic Republicans who
are so earnestly at work to form a new
party with Roosevelt at its head are more
likely TO find success in the future than at
present, for it is not written in the books
that they shall win this year-nor for
some years to come. Nevertheless, there
is more prospect for them than for those
who endorse President Taft and his pol
icieS.
