people visited this show during ,he
fairs at Chicago and st. Louis, and
these two million people have never
forgotten the unusual and most r..
markable acts performed by brute &C.
tors, and are constantly urging their
friends to see the Hagerbeek trained
animals at their first opportunity.
Not every one could go to the great
world's fairs, but since the Hagenbeci
animal show has combined with the
great Wallace Shows the tour has
been such that hundreds OF thousands
OF people who were unable to 60 to
the fairs have been able to see the
educated wild beasts perform. This
season the combined Hagenbeck-wa
lace Shows will visit two-thirds OF the
states of this country, and large
crowds of people who have waited
many years for this chance will have
an opportunity to see the most famous
animal tanners and trainers and the
hest educated animals in the worlds
history.
The nature of some amusements
makes 1t impossible to tell whether
or not there has been combination
when 1t is advertised that two shows
have combined, but in the instance OF
the coordination of the Carl Hagen.

for every one knows Of the heretofore
performances OF the three
ring Wallace Shows and also the ia
nous animal acts given by the Ha-
genbeck people in an iron ring. Since
the shows have been combined, the
performances of each Is given com
plete and without interfering with
the other, and the patrons can read
lily see that in this advertised comb-
nation the facts warrant the claim.
The Carl Hagenbeck-NHallace Com

how swiftly the old veterans are
crossing the river. May God bless

During the years since the Repuh-

in West Virginia, no district has given
more to the party chan that from
which come In the way of statis-
tics ! want to point out that in 1896
Governor Atkinson received major
ity Of 1916, and of this the district
south of the Kanawha river outside OF
Kanawha and Fayette counties rolled
up 1905. In 1900 that same district
gave a majority OF 3,144 of the total or
! 15,42S which was given for Governor
White, and in 1904, when Governor
Dawson was elected, our section gave
a majority of 1,TT2 OF the total OF
1911. In 1908, when Governor Glass
cock was elected that district gave
a total vote Of $50. and the rest of
the state 1854 The majority for our
governor in that election was 1888,
and of this amount Mcdowell county
gave S,1O7 or nearly one-third.
Il have no fault to find with the
other sections of the state, but the
people OF the southern tier of ooun-
ties have been contending that since
they have always rolled up such good
matorities, they are entitled to be rec
ognized in the matter of nominations.

The efforts of the opposition

Roosevelt is a candidate for the
presidency is becoming a little
over done. Col. Roosevelt has

he a candidate in any sense O.

reason to refuse to accept his
statement Because he has not
said that he would refuse the
nomination even if rendered him
by the convention of his party
his opponents insist that he is a
receptive candidate. We do not
believe Roosevelt is seeking the
nomination, and we further oe-
lieve that he is discouraging
the movement to place his name
before theconvention. butshould
: party leaders reach the con.
.sion that Roosevelt is needed
lead the Republican party
q that he is the only one who
N save it from defeat, in that
Sc he will accept the leader

retention of the party such as
this country has never before
seen. It is our opinion, the
Democratic press is making a
mistake in constantly nagging at
Roosevelt. # they do not mind
they will force a condition that
may MAKE his nomination nec-
essity. and then it will be up to
them to take the consequences.
Those who think that Colonel
Roosevelt is a :'has-been" and
that he is a dead Lone" would
have another think coming

ton place its standard into his
keeping.

Columbia has a sensation IN
the shape Of a mostserious charge
having Deed lodged against a
prominent physician. Dr.. Louis
Griffith was arrested Saturday
upon a warrant charging him
with criminally assaulting a
white woman in his Office. After
the arresta preliminary was held
before Judge Watts, and DR..
Griffith was admitted to bail. 1t
is the sincere hope of the doctors
friends throughout the State
that he is the victim of black
mail, for those who know him
cannot believe him capable Of
such deed. The writer is ac-
ouainted with Dr.. Griffith, and

Once upon a time Judgeship
was great honor for the reason
only those who were learned IN
the Law were selected for these

gardless of qualification men are
chosen to fill these positions for
no other reason than that they
are splendid fellows. can tell a
good joke: and need the salary.
The legal profession is response
bic for this condition, because,
whenever there is a vacancy on
the bench, and there is a brief
less lawyer in the circuit who is
a good fellow, the gentlemen Of
the bar make it known that they
want this lawyer for Judge, and
it has become the custom of the
general assembly to accept the
recommendation of the circuit
bar.

for license tax of FIVE dollars
per acre on all land planted in
