De sS line of progressive literature

Virginia has been written by the Re
publican party. Why? Because the
Republican party in west Virginia
is the party of the workinsman' the
party of enterprise, progress and
the party of the common people, as
opposed to the broken-down arts
tocvracy inherited from the old state
of Virginia. The leaders of the
Democratic party in this state are
without exception the representa-
lives of corporate interests that con-

sought to control it.

JUSTICE SHEPARD
DISALLOWS APPEAL
District Commissioners Lose In
Second Round of Legal
Battle.

District Court of Appeals, has handed
down an opinion disallowlng a special
appeal on the part of the District Com
missloncrs from the decision of Justice
Barnard. of the District Supreme Court,
requiring them to show the public ne
cessity for a certain alley In Columbia
Heights before the condemnation jury
is shown.
There is considerable opposition to
the proposed opening of the alley, and
vigorous protests were made to the
court by property owners.
The opinion of the Chief Justice was
that no time would be saved by an APP
peal, as arguments would not be heard
until October. The court suggested
that an appeal after the condemnation
proceedings had been finished woulo
be a more practical procedure.

ROOM FOR A GOOD MAN.

There are never any vacancies in
well-conducted business, but
there's always room for good man.
1t is true in all kinds of business.
The whole world is full of good
places for a good man.
The practical question confronting
every young man is not:
Is a big job ready for you?
But,
Are you ready for big Job?
If you have the right stuff in you,
you don't have to go crawling on
your stomach for any mans favor.
You don't need to beg for a job as
though you were asking charity.
But don't swell up and wait for
big jobs to come after you with a
brass band. People will not take
you at your own unsupported esti-
mate. You have to show them
Lots of us envy the man in a
high place. thinking we could fill ii
as well as he does. It's up to us to
work up to it as well as he did.

AGED AND DECREPIT.

What respect" asked the New
York World, lis likely to be paid
to the mandates of direct primaries
if their foremost champion becomes
the wrecker of the electoral col
lege?"
Alas, the electoral college is old
and we must not touch it. 1t is bald
headed, gray-whiskered, sacred and
sanctified by generations of age. 1t
may even be senile which is indicat-
ed by the likelihood that in 1912 it
may demonstrate its impotency by
passing the election of a president
along to congress. Woodman, spare
that tree!
1t is rotten and tottering and may
fall and squash things, but it was
planted in the nations infancy.
The electoral college, like the plan
for choosing United States senators,
was concocted by a political aristoe-
racy that was afraid to trust the
people. Sometimes it is powerless
TO accomplish anything. When it
can perform its functions. it per-
forms as a mere machine, lot of
wooden Indians equipped with cleo
trical apparatus could do its work
as well. There is no demand upon
II for intelligence, and it's slightest
act of independence would be fol-
lowed by rebellion based on high
toned political moral ground. 1t is
merely the fifth wheel of the band
wagon OF so-called Representative"
government and it's going round and
round simply to blind people to it's
undemocracy.
The editor that imagines that re-
spect of ancient and senile institu-
tions has much to do with the tenn
per of the times may have a pretty
good view of Manhattan island, but
there are millions and millions of
acres of fine landscape that's beyond
his ken.

while Others would put an old brush

to say that the latter are few and

character of the owners. Some
times the front yard will be bubbling

the back yard will be chiefly slop

THE HORRIBLE HEATHEN. .

Shucks! That new king of Siam is
no king, The black heather ruler
says to his minister of finance:
Apart from the official side, | con-
slider myself as being on the same
footing as any ordinary person. Ac-
cordingly, henceforth you will levy
taxes on all lands and house property
which is considered my personal pos
sessions in the same manner as they
are levied upon those of the people. )"
What do you think of that for a
king? Actually opens the door to
the tax assessor and invites him to
help himself. Goodness gracious, but
this King Maha Vauiravudh must be
a heather person indeed What a
horrible example for Christian kings
and captains of industry who escape
taxation by perjuring themselves
like gentlemen.

mere is no way of improving a
place as much as by encouraging
good merchants, good schools and
good people to settle among you, and
this cannot be done unless you spend
your money at home.
A woman went into a newspaper

told that they charged two dollars an

A wellknown minister who had
been preaching begging sermon,
concluded it as follows: Il don't
want any to contribute who have not
paid their subscription to the home

he was talking about.
Don't loaf on the streets and tell
strangers that the town is dead 1t

dead town, but that of dead energies

that you are alive by moving lively,
wide awake by jumping into it, on
the alert by improving your oppor-
tunities, and getting there because
you are in the lead of the procession.

The trouble with most young men
is that they do not understand the
dignity of manual labor. They do
not realize that honors and fortune
may be more readily gained outside
Of the so-called learned professions
than in them, and that it is just as
honorable to swing hammer or to
hold pillow as it is to make a speech
in court or to amputate limb. The
lesson young men should be taught
as early as possible is that it is not
so much what man does for a liv-
ing as how he does it, and that man

other.
