New Book Lovers Club

Last Sunday Rev. S. B. Ogle
organized Book Lovers Club
with twenty-five charter members.
Other names will doubtless be adj
ded as themembership is not limit
ed to numbers. Prizes and re-
wards are a feature, but these will
be received at the end of life's
Journey. The only book necessary
is the Bible, and any one, regard
less of age or sex, may become a
member, by promising to read at
least one chapter day in the
New Testament until it is com
pleted. Members are permitted
to make note of passages of scrip
ture upon which information is
desired and refer same to Brother
lOgle. Much interest and enthu-
siasm were manifested in the or
ganization of the Club.
Brother Ogle preached Sunday
morning on the theme "A Return
to the Bible" emphasizing the i'm.
portance Of a close study Of Gods
Word. The sermon was followed
by the organization Of the New
Book Lovers Club.

A SPIRIT OF REFORM

State Senator Smith of the West
Virginia General Assembly has
been convicted Of graft, 1t was
alleged that he accepted bride of
$4,000 to vote for Col. William B.
Edwards for United States senator.
The gentleman is of eminent
social standing and is held in high
esteem BY his business associates.
The spirit Of legislative reform
seems to be abroad in the land,
and a mans social prominence
does not shield him from the courts.
1t has been the common opinion
that a man of prominence and
money can violate the law with
impunity. The recent action of
legislative bodies and the courts
show the contrary.
West Virginia seems affected
like many other states, and the
evident efficie lev and promptness
III trying cri mind cases against
persons Of political and social
standing will do much to purge
the lawmaking bodies Of the
country.
Four other West Virginia rep.
resentatives are under indictment
and will be tried this month.
1t was in Illinois that the initi-
alive was taken, but the Illinois
courts were not so successful in
securing the conviction Of corrupt
legislators.
One satisf .ction in the contem-
plation Of such cases is that the
law is shown to be superior tc
money and the man. 1t is yindi-
cation Of the spirit Of reform. Il
Is an indication Of the purpose Of
the people to promote justice and
clean politics. 1t is pleasant tc
reflect that the particular depart
ment Of criminality illustrated in
the Smith case has been put out Of
existence for good and all. The
seventeenth amendment has taken
the election Of senators out Of the
legislative bodies Of the various
states and has left such elections
to the people.
There seems to be a general
awakening among the states. Good
will always triumphs over evil in
the long run. Corrupt politicaI
methods are gradually being ex-
posed and the sentiment of the
people seems to demand that all
legislative bodies be purged.
The spirit Of reform is shown
in other respects. The various
departments Of state under the
present administration seem to be
imbued with the common purpose
to correct past evils and to avoid
future ones.
If this policy IS continued the
eatire country viii have occasion
to feel gratiied orer the election
Of President Wilson. The example
Of West Virginia Is worthy Ct
comment and should be emulated
i'll other states. Commercial APP

Sulzer chose to break presidents and 10 put

ST. SOPHIA.

Publication of the stories about the mosque
OF St Sophia. formerly a Christian church.
has probably caused many to wonder who was
the St Sophia who gave her name TO the
great church in Constantinople.s According to
the London Chronicle no such saint ever
existed and the church was not named after
saint at all its correct designation being
"Agia Sophia meaning House Of Divine
Worship"
According to tradition" says the Chronicle,
IAN angel inspired this name. Shortly after
the foundation of the church had been laid

Divine Wisdom and on hearing the boys
story Justinian obeyed the angelic command.
The possession OF the mosque Of st.
Sophia is the greatest desire Of the devout
christians of the Greek church. and its re-
ltention that of the devout Musselman. Found
ed by a Christian emperor, its capture marked
the fall of the Byzantine empire and the
glory of Turkish arms. Pride of conquest and
devotion TO the religion which has so long
made 1t it's home, makes it dear to Islam and
memories of past glories and of the one
time dominance in the East of the Greek
church makes it the goal OF the Balkan

INFORMATION WORTH WHILE.

ANY reform which viii increase the value

lower the cost of production, without niuring
the whole people, is reform worth while. If
means can be found for enabling the farmers
Of Virginia to make improvements on their
farms this means deserves that careful con
sideration not only OF the farmer but OF all
the people.
In Germany and France it has been found
and students of the qu%ti believe that it
can be applied to this country with equal
success. In the recently published report of

outline OF the system of rural credits in opera

WILL TIE WAR BE RENEMEn?

Weary of the Turkish policy OF delay, OF

and subterfuges. the Balkan allies have de-
liyered to the representatives of the porte
what practically amounts to ultimatum.
Turkey is given until Monday to yield to the
demands Of the allies pain of renewal Of

Throughout the negotiations Turkey has
exhibited those qualities of diplomacy which
once obtained among all nations but which are
now held to be peculiar to the East. Evasion,
petty discrimination, pretenses Of awaiting In
structions from home put forth for the sole
purpose of gaining time, attempts to shift the
responsibility to the powers--these rather
than frank discussion and straightforward
dealing has been Turkeys manner OF con-
Quoting the negotiations. They have sue
ceeded in causing delay, but they have not
succeeded in helping the cause of Turkey and
In gaining concessions from the allies. Tur-
key has acknowledged her weakness by her
actions She has shown that her only hope

COMMENT
Exit ME-. Bailey.

The fact that Senator Bailey is Just about TO
step from the arena OF public life into the ac-
tivities of private pursuits. suggests much cause
for regret. This not much because he Is
about to take leave OF high and honorable pub
lie station, by reason of the considerations
that have operated to produce the result. In
recent years Mr.. Bailey has been gradually but
surely losing In the esteem and confidence OF his
constituency. For long time the idol Of the
Texas Democracy, and an absolutely unbeatable
force. the period came on when he was last
eandidate to succeed himself in the United States
senate. to reveal tho quite depiorable fact that
his career had failed TO command the approval
Il powerful minority In his party. and to
way thereafter well nigh fatally imperiled, And
so evi emily anticipating his doom, Mr.. Bailey
simply made up his mind to quit the senate and
remove himself altogether from tho storms and
fierce encounters OF Texas poiitica. 1t is needless
to discuss the merits OF the quarrel to which
the Texas senator was party OF the one part.
and n large and growing element of the Texas
Democracy. the party Of the other part. Suface

English has for long time been the official

The fact is interesting as indicative of the
rapid process OF americanizaton going on in

public 1t us interesting, further, as svfdsace'
of. the fact that English is slowly but purely
becoming the universal language of the earth.
South America still holds aloof, demanding that
the traders of the world shall speak Spanish or
Portuguese or go elsewhere with their wares,
but South America Is wholly exceptional and
does not invadate the rule.
Extension of the of English in the
Philippines has not been due to any supposed
inherent superiority of the language. nor to
the natural American pride In seeing 1t gener-
ally accepted, but rather to the fact that no
other tongue seemed TO offer any hope OF be-
coming a common language for the islands.
