statewide road system, by an
Act OF Legislature, providing for
the appointment OF honest, up
right citizens on the State Road
Commission, with the power to
lay out and determine, in consul
tation, and in conjunction with.
county road officials, a road tray-
srsing and connecting all large
cities; and when these main thor
oughfares have been laid out, /
would complete the, system by in
tersecting these main thorough
fares by additional roads, rami-
flying every county in the state.
Il would adopt a system of
raising funds to build these roads
in order of their Importance,
which, of course, should work out
a fair and equitable distribution
of the cost of construction, as
we'll as maintenance between the
state, the counties and the dis
tricts, SO that the whole people
would not only be interested in
the. work, but would receive prac-
teal benefit therefrom.
The work OF passing such a law
should commend the support OF
every one who is friend to the
future development OF our state.
This effort means more to the
great common people than any
other one thing that could be ac-
complished. The farmer in many
instances has actually opposed the
road building proposition, and l
think he has in the past had JUS.
tifcation for this position, from
the fact of inadequate laws, which
were not practical and not at all
full as to their construction, with
no assurance, under the present
laws, with the judicious expendi-
ture of the moneys raised, for
road purposes.

The Question Of Cost.

The Question of Cost.
Second: The fear OF increased
tax burdens, as well as that the
investment made in the roads
would not bring back to him the
full benefit of his investment.
The State OF Maryland is now
expanding six million dollars,
raised by bond issue, in construct
ing. great central highway, be-
ginning in the northeastern ex-
tremity of the state and ending
near Terra Alta on the West Vir-
GINA state line. A study OF the
road map of West Virginia dis
closes the fact that we can start
from this Maryland road, where it
touches our borders, the old
Northwestern Turnpike, and fol-
low that line via Grafton to
Clarksburg; and by county road
to Weston. and thence intersect
with the Gauley River Turnpike,
and at the mouth of Gauley river
on the Kanawha intersect with
the old James river and Kanawha
Turnpike via Charlestown; and
thence to the western end OF our
state to Huntington; thus, pass
ing as near as possible through
the central portion of the state,
with distance in actual calcula-
ton of 283 miles; based upon as
sessments of 1909, far below our
present valuations OF property,
will show that levy of 10c Of
$4,000 will pay for these roads
In less than three years, even less
time than it would take to build
the road. This is merely an ex-
ample to show to those who think
that the proposition is not prac-
teal one, and have not given the
matter the consideration which it
is entitled TO receive.
Il cannot pass without saying,
a little travel will bring us back
to West Virginia realizing that
there are no more fertile fields, or
picturesque scenery to be found
lin the union than in our own great
state. The construction of proper
roads, towering above the Cheat,
Kanawha and New rivers, would
unfold to the world a matchless
scenery. 1t would bring into our
state countless travellers from
every country Of the earth, to
view, with admiration the accom-
plishments and grandeur of our
great state, accomplished by great
people.
The Federal government is
taking more interest, as we'll as
the State government, in the good
roads movement.

That One Ihlna LACKING.

Lady Augusta Gregory, the able and
ardent apostle of the modern Irish
movement. is fond of telling the fol-
owing real Irish story:
1T was the wedding day of Pat and
Bridget. and they were having a
church wedding. 1t was a grand af-
fair. Pat was dressed with patent
leather shoes, white vest and flaming
tie. Bridget shone attractively in
many colors. The ceremony was over,
and the happy pair walked down the
aisle. out into the street, where a
great crowd greeted them with delight,
Once seated within the cab, Bridget
leaned owe to Pat and said, in a loud
whisper, Och, Pat, if we could only
have stood on the sidewalk and watch
ed ourselves pass, wouldn't it have

HER LITTLE HAND IN HIS
Mr. Pickles. Explanation as to Reason
Somewhat Dispelled the Odor
of Romance.

Henne and Pecke were WI henpeck
Led married men. The other day they
met. and, after a few casual remarks
concerning the weather, the subject
of women and unfortunate husbands
was-perhaps naturally-discussed. TC
Henne, however, suddenly came
thoughts OF years ago, when he was
"A happy bachelor, and (unconsciously
of what Fate had in store for HIM
was walking out" a girl who was,
later on, destined to bring him sor.
o and misery.
Pecke. seeing a ~"far-away" look in
his companions eyes, inquired the
meaning. Henne retorted dramat-
4cally, II was Just then thinking, old
fellow, Of those happy days long ago
when l used to hold that girls hand
I'm mine for hours-when-"
But the equally unfortunate Pecke
suddenly cut his companion short by
exclaiming: why, that's nothing!
Cheer up! Do you know, only yes
terday l held my wife's hand for three
solid hours"

New Idea for pressmakers.

A New York woman has inaugural.
ed a new departure. She sent word
to a number of dressmakers that she
had SO many dresses to make. of such
and such materials, and SO many 9TH
1er to be altered. and named the al
'terations to be made and asked for
bids. She will probably accept the
lowest bid, and this seems to open up
a new field In dressmaking. 1t will
also develop a new variety of shrewd.
ness on the part of successful dress
makers-the ability to figure on bids.

Tariff.
We believe in a protective tariff
which shall equalize conditions of com

foreign countries, both for the
and the manufacturers. which shall en-
terrain for labor an adequate

Primarily, the benefit of any tariff
should be disclosed in the pay envel-
ope of the laborer. We declare that
no industry deserves protection which
is unfair to labor or which is operat-
ing in violation Of federal Law. We
believe that the presumption is always
in favor Of IT, consuming public.
We demand tariff revision
because the present tariff is unjust to
the people of the United States. Fair
dealing toward the people requires an
immediate downward revision of those
schedules wherein duties are shown to
be- unjust or excessive.
We pledge ourselves to the establish
ment Of a nonpartisan, scientific tariff

Which comes from the mere printing

They only laughed.
She did not seek her Rights"

She loved the "tyrant;" bore her no.

for a minute, perhaps. thought what

And yet who has not seen an other
wise pretty girl whose face has been
marred for a time at least by an ex
preston of discomfort or temper?
So every girl who wants to be beat
tiful should try to cultivate a pleas
ing expression, and to obtain this, Of
course, she should start with her dis
position and learn to find contentment
and happiness in the common ordinary
things of life, and not go around with
Disconnected face and heart until
something unusual happens to bring
her into the land of sunshine again.
Angry thoughts as well as words
should be kept under control for every
one, even one who has given lit
tie thought to the matter, knows how
a beautiful face may become distorted
by a terrible fit of anger. Mothers
who want their children to be beauti-
full should try to help them overcome
these traits from higher reason as
well as a beauty one, but, judging
from the fits Of anger many children
indulge In, one would suppose that
the highest motive was not taken into
account today.
II q child or q girl were to look in
the glass every time she felt discon-
tented, or angry, perhaps one would
see more truly beautiful women, but
the girl who has a happy, loving ma
ture should be contented with her
looks. for she cannot be really ugly
to look upon who has a winning smile
and happy expression In her eyes.
Grief, of ceurse. will change the

WOMAN'S MOST
SUCCESSFUL
MEDICINE
Known All Over The World
known Only For The
Good It Has Done.

We know of no other medicine which
has been so successful in relieving the
suffering of women, or received so many
genuine testimonials, as has Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
In nearly every community you will
find women who have been restored to
health by this famous medicine. Almost
every woman you meet knows of the
great good it has been doing among
suffering women for the past 80 years.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, are files containing hundreds of
thousands of letters from women seek
ing health, in which many openly state
over their own signatures that they have
regained their health by taking Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
many of whom state that it has saved
them from surgical operations.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is made from roots and herbs,
and is perfectly harmless.
The reason why 1t is so successful is
because it contains ingredients which act
directly upon the female organism, re-
storing it to healthy and normal activity.
