The Optimist.

BILL SMITH was born beneath un-
lucky stars
At six ribs were broken by the cars;
At 8 q ladder slipped, and down came
Bill
At 9 he broke his head on Simpsons
hill;
Before he was II, some one said,
BY all the signs he really should be
dead
But Bill, the foster-son of evil stars,
Just kept his way, accommodating scars.
One day mine blew up and took leg,
And Bill just smiled and bought a
wooden peg,
He got a job as Waterman, and train
Cut off an arm, and William smiled
again.
That leg" he said, cit might have
taken me
Too far from home, or rowing on the
sea;
And since two hands lead many into
harm,
Why, suppose I'm safer with one
arm!,'
When Bill went blind he said: "Ob,
well, my nose
Will have keener feeling for the
rose!'
And then one day they took him home
10 bed
1t was consumption, SO the doctor said
And we who knew Bill thought he'd
make a kick
Against his luck, so desperately sick
But Bill Its worth while being sick, =
said he.
'To know there's SO much love and
sympathy
The last words Bill Smith said to us
who came
To sit beside him as he cashed his
game.
Were these: Il tell you, boys, while
life is sweet,
The beautiful in death is hard to beatP
And when we took him to that quiet
hill
And buried hlm-I know our old friend
In spirit clasped our hands as there We
wept;
In spirit smiled. and said good-by, anc
slept!

Ask impeachment Of Judge Bennett

For the sole purpose of impeaching
a Judge of the Circuit Court Governor
William E. Glasscock was asked to
assemble the State Legislature in ex'
traordinary session. The jurist against
whom serious charges are filed is Judge
William R. Bennett of Fayette county,
recently renominated in the Republi-
can primary of that county.
A petition signed by numerous citi-
zens of Fayette county was filed with
the State Executive charging Judge
Bennett with corruption, gross immor-
atty and ineempetency. Specific ale
CATIONS are made in support of all
the charges.
Judge Bennett is charged with re.
ceiving presents and cash, and While
presiding over the Pocohontas County
Circuit Court he is charged with hav.
ing made an improper proposal to a
Pennsylvania woman, whose brother
was on trial charged with a felony.
Four welI-known lawyers presented
the petition to Governor ,ilasscock.
They ware R. T. Hubbard, Jr., and
Charles ". Dillon, of Fayetteville. and
Senator George E. Price. and former
Governor William NJ. o. Dawson. of
Charleston. Messrs. Hubbard and Dill
lon are from Bennett $ home town.
Ten days ago Dillon. who was q
candidate for the Republican nnmina-
ton for Governor. knocked Judge Ben-
Aett down when the latter took excep-
ton to a petition filed in the Supreme
Court and called Dillon liar.
Judge Bennett has resigned. and his
resignation has been accepted by Gov.
GIasscock.

Send Some Money To Wilson.

The Free Press will receive,
acknowledge and remit subscrip-
tons to the National Democratic
Committee to help defray the
necessary expenses of the pend
ing Campaign.
A plan has been worked out
by which if the Democrats
throughout the Country will
furnish their pro ratio share of
the amount necessary to defray
legitimate expenses, the per cap
tia cost will be small.
We propose to collect our share
and call on our readers to help
carry on the campaign Woodrow
Wilson is making in behalf OF
the people and without the aid
of any trust or interest"
Since he is the peoples Candi-
date, it is only right that the
people should, in their own best
interest help pay the expenses OF
what is their fight.
Beginning the week of Septem-
Der 1st, we will acknowledge all
contributions. Meanwhile, send
them along.

done, it is an outrage to require
passengers to take their lives in
their hands every time they cross
the train crowded tracks.
It is about on a par with the
refusal to safeguard the school
children at the Charles Town
crossing.
Do not arguments for fair
treatment of railroads fall on deaf
ears when, as an instance, we see
two great railroad systems n1ain-
tanning the travesty of depotl0
at Shenandoah Jnnctiot-which
in view of their refusal to listen
to tile appeals of the travelling
public lends force to the .argu-
ment that Corporations have no
souls. y
At Sllepllerdstown where the
Town Council was not easily
''bluffed" they have a con1mo-
dious, sanitary and convenient
station. But the Junction is
small, unincorporated and to save
few dollars the companies con-
tinue to herd their passengers
like hogs in a pen,- despite all
protests and appeals for better
treatment. =
To require delicate women and
children to wait, between trains
for hours, in an lily ventilated,
general waiting room often
crowded with the urlwashed OF
both sexes and many races, with
no regard for privacy and with
toilet converiences lacking, IS
little short of a crime.
If the wives and daughters OF
the railroad officials were re-
quired to remain in the Shenar1-
doah Junction waiting room a
few hours every day for a month
4 we expect we would see a new
depot there before snow flies.
Mr.. Willard, the new executive
of the B. & O. is said to be not
only a very able but a humane
man.
Why are not facts such as those
] here referred to brought to his
attention for settlement BY those
! directly in charge of the local
situation?

Railroad Responsibility.

The killing of Rev. Mr.Gill at
Harpers Ferry is another black
mark against the B. & O.
True, the train men were blan-

many more lives would in the

Harpers Ferry death trap.
If West Virginia had a Public
Service Commission and if rail-
road lobbyists did not throttle her
Legislature and conspire with the
liquor and, other base Influences,
in almost every county, to send
men to Charleston who can be
controlled an underground
passage or tunnel between the
West and East bound tracks
would have been ordered long ago.

The Parties.
The Prohibition Party.

For almost forty years its candidates
and committees have gone through
political maneuvers without voting
strength, always expectant, but always
lost to sight and sound in the smoke
and noise of political battle.
The object of the Prohibition Party,
obliteration of destructive and de-
spicable traffic. is of the worthiest;
however menacing to legitimate liber-
ties its policy of arbitrary coercion may
be. and however futile it's tactics.
As an educational force, this party
has doubtless served a useful purpose,
though meagerly in comparison with
other influences, But the princlpal
purpose of political parties is not gen.
eral education; it is immediate or pro-
gressive realization AS an educational
device permanent side-party in poll
tics is unecor.omical. More can be
done with less energy for civic educa-
tion by nonpolitical methods, or by
political methods that are occasional
| or local.
Worse than uneconomical for educa-
tional purposes, permanent side-parties
tend to become obstructive of their
own ends. When education begins to
ripen in public opinion, the narrow par.
tisanship which such parties foster
thrusts itself as an obstruction in the
way of political realization.
The Democratic Party.
Notwithstanding the uncertainties of
the battle before him. Wilson'S cleo
ton seems now assured. 1t seems. too,
that Roosevelt will be second to him in
the order of the popular vote, and Taft
third. Whichever the result in that
respect, however, the election of Will
son promises new era in the politics
of this country, and better one than
it has experienced since the issue #
chattel slavery submerged the old par
ties of the sos
If Wilson is elected and proves cour-
agenusly true to the democratic prirl-
ciples and policies he processes, the

will probably be the new party on the
side of fundamental democracy, -driy-
ing out of it its plutocrats and spoils-
men, and attracting to it the mass of
men and women of democratic impulses
and purposes regardless of race or
class. It's adversary will then most
likely be the pIltocrdtic Republican
