a WORD TO DEMOCRATS.

There are men in the new Con
gress Mt Washington who profess to
be Democrats who were members OF
the Congress which ended week
ago. and who voted for some things
that were not Democratic. If they
and others constituting a majority OF
the members of Congress are goins
to continue to talk Democracy and
vote for things that are ml-Democrat
ic there will be change in the con
troll Of the legislative branch OF the
national Government the next time
the people have an opportunity to
express themselves. President VII
son cannot do It all The Democrat
ic members Of Congress will have to
help.
Back home Democratic candidates
TO-. Congress have preached Demo
cratic doctrine They have told the
people that out OF their pockets comes
the money appropriated by Congress-
which is the truth. But when they
cast their votes in Congress they
seem to lee as Republican as any OF
the members of the 6. o. p who
have been for so many years acting
on the theory that tho money that
flows into the national treasury
romes from nowhere, and can be us
ed as long as it lasts, regardless OF
the necessity for its use.
If this idea is to prevail among the
Democratic members Of the new Con
gress, as it did to some extent in the
last one, the Government of the coun-
fry by the Democrats will be short
lived. But it will not prevail If the
Democratic members of Congress try
II they will find themselves in a bad
way. The man in the White House
will not stand for it, and if they give
him the opportunity to call spade
spade he will do it, regardless OF
lts effect upon the campaign for re-
election which most Of the Congress
men expect to engage in next year

the tariff could be revised without
injuring any industry and BE- Of a ben
eft to the people. The information
gathered win prove OF incaiculable
value to the committee in the prepar.
alton Of the tariff bill.
A great deal depends upon the SEES
sion. The party viii be on trial and
the result Of the session wiII in a
large degree, determine how long It
shall remain In power. The fatal mis-
take of Mr. Taft's administration was
the passage of the Payne-Aldrich bill.
If the Wilson administration is guilty
of the same blunder, it's life will be
as brief II would not deserve further
support.

PRESIDENT AND PATRONAGE.

President Wilson's emphatic state
ment that he does not propose 10 nj
low bis Cntire time and eaere es to
be absorbed in considering the
claims Of ofTlce-seeker3, does not
mean, of course. as later dispatches
from Washington explain, that h pro
poses to turn over all questions OF
patronage to his Cabinet officers
There are few more impol.n. duties
confronting a President than that Of
selecting proper men 10" the more
important government positions, and
the new President evidently does not
propose to shirk this duty II he did,
and allowed Seereta y Bryan 70 name
the foreign Ambassadors and Minis
tiers, Attorney General McReynolds }
select the Federal judges and Dis
uiet Attorneys, Secretary McAdoc to
choose the Collectors of GustcAls,
etc, he would plunge his admiuislra-
ton into difficulties at The very start,
There must be guiding mind that
shall direct a national poIiey in these
matters.
1t Is very evident that what Presi
dent Wilson proposes to do is TO free
himself from the unspeakable annoy
ance of having to pass upon tie rival
claims Of contesting factions interest
ed in appointments to the post Office
at Mauch Chunk, the Custom House
at Norfolk, Va, tho Internal revenue
Office at Cincinnati. etc. unless he
takes a personal interest in solving
these knotty problems and arranges
for hearings He will thus save his
time for considering the proper fiji
ing OF the more important Offices and
the study Of the various great ques-
tions that confront the country.
Woodrow Wilson has been too close
a student of American politics not
to understand the value and signif-
cancc of the hifiher patronage and
importance Of maintaining friendly
and cordial relations with the Scna-
tors and Representatives Interested
in these matters Plainly, he proposes
to remain master OF the situation. as
he did at Trenton. and not let him
self be done almost to death by pet
ty and distracting details that can
well be handled by others.

WILSON'S COURSE.

Official Washington has been shock
ed BY the exposage OF the course Of
Ambassador Wilson in Mexico Ci.s.
Il had peen believed throughout the
Mexican trouble that he was plrsuir &
a neutral course. and was not using
his office to further the interest 81
either faction.
Now comes the startling informa-
ton that he has always been friend
ly to Provisional President Huerta,
and that it was largely through his
assistance that President Madero
suffered the lose of his Official posi-
ton and later his life. Ana as the
reports are received they sa6T that
through his action this country was
likely II any line to beccn q Eyolr
ed
Undoubtedly. after the evidence has
all been gathered and a careful re-
view Of L made, President Wilson
will demand his resignatio1, OF rath-
er dismiss him from ;hs service.
Such an official IS I disgrace to the
government he represents, because he
has violated his oath Of Office, and
been in measure responsible for
the uprising in the country to which
he had been sent as a friendly agent
If the record proves the allegations
now made Mr.. Wilson is 4 very un'
Trustworthy official His object was
TO acquire wealth by aiding the Hucr-
ia faction, and It appears he has ac-
complished his purpose. But it mast
be understood that he viii not re
main in the service. and will be call
ed to account for such actions can
not he tolerated.

THE SENATE CHANGES.

How wide has been the political
revolution Of the past TWO aud half
years is shown by a comparison OF
The roll Of Senators at the end Of
1910 with the roll OF the Senate made
up on Tuesday At the earlier date
there were SO Republicans 80 Dem
ocrsts. The effort, strongly backed
Senate there are 40 Democrats, "a
Repub leans and three vacancies.
Including two States, Arizona and
New Mexico that have come into
the Union since 1910, there have
been changes in the Senatorial rep.
resentation from eighteen States,
Arizona sends two Democrats and
New Mexico sends two Republicans
This fact is especially interesting,
because the Republicans Kept New
Mexico out OF the Union for many
years lest it should send two Dem
ocrats. The effort, strongly backed
BY Theodore Roosevelt, to admit the
two as one State rested on the
hope that the Republican voters Of
Arizona would swamp the Democrat
ic voters of New Mexico.
Colorado, which had one Demo
cratic Senator, now has two, Della
ware had none, and now mas one, In
diana had one, and now has two,
Kansas had none, and now has one
Democrat The same is true OF
Maine. From Maryland there is on
Nv one Democrat instead of two, but
another Democrat will come next
year. Missouri has two Democrats
instead Of one. Montana had no
Democrat and now has two. Nebras
ka had none ana now has one Ne
yada had mono and now has two
New Jersey has changed tive Repuh'
lican Senator to two Democrats
New York had no Democrat, and
now has one Oregon had one. and
now has two Democrats West Nir-
einia had two Democratic Senators
ana now has one.
OF the three vancancies, two from
Illinois and one from New ilamp-
shire. the Democrats win get one
and possibly two. Next year they
win get Senator from Maryland.
and two years hence there is hardly
a doubt that they will replace the
Republican from Kentucky with a
Democrat. Democratic aseendency
in the Senate is well assured for sey
pral Ncare

A PROSPEROUS SEASON.

Every indication points to a pros
porous building era in Martinsburg
during the next year. Local real
estate IS going to be in demand,
there will be a general move to con
struct homes, business houses and
industrial buildings, and there will
be sufficient money in circulation to
carry out all OF these plan. Experts
believe tho coming one will be the
most prosperous season MartiusbuTg
has had ~ years
With The approach OF spring on cv-
cry side there are indications Of
prosperity. Business men have made
greater preparations for the year be-
cause they can see that during the
next ten or twelve months large de
uands are going 70 be made upon

are working to their fun capacities.

The Baltimore and Ohio has begun
the placing Of its new three.track
bridge across the South Branch river
1t will straighten light curve caus-
ed in reaching the old bridge which
is about 50 feet west OF the new struc-
ture. The McCabo Company built
the concrete abutments.
In the past few years the Baltimore
and Ohio has replaced every bridge
between Cumberland and Harpers
Ferry and tentative plans have been
made for new bridge across the Po-
tomac at that point The curve at
the west end OF the Harpers Ferry
bridge is perhaps the sharpest on the
east end and The company is DESTROYS
OF making away with it. This can On
~ be done by building a bridge dag
onaijy across the river. Then the
road would follow the old route aban-
doned some years ago, and the tun-
ael which was built to do away with
,he Old route, would in turn be aban-

With the placing Of this bridge the
Baltimore and Ohio will have done

ASK FOR CONVCTS

County Court Will Construct and Re
pair Roads by the Convict System
Twenty-Five viii be Brought Here
ard Their Services viii Cost coun-
ty Nothing.
The county court has made an ap-
plieation to the state board Of con
troll for twenty-five convlets to work
on the public highways This was
done in compliance with tho law re-
Gently passed by the state legislature,
which gives eacn county the right
j TO use as many convicts as they can
to assist in building ana repairing
+ The roads.
I At the last session Of the legisla
tare Senator Gray Silver introduced
a bill in the senate relating to the
sentencing to hard labor CT eoaYicts
/ in the county jails The bill passed
both houses without difficulty, was
approved by the governor, and viii
i become effective the latter part OF
May.
After the law had been explained
/ TO the county court that body deemed
i it wise to ask for twenty-five conyicts
and as this was the first application
sent in from any county in the state
it is believed that the application will
receivo favorable consideration, and
that as soon az the law goes into eff
feet tho prisoners will be sent here
from the state penitentiary.
The law provides the state board
Of control shall distribute among the
/ several counties of the state the con.
/ vfcts confined in the state penitenti-
airy TO work on the roads, they shall
be under the supervision of state
guards, who shall carry with them
portable guard houses for the accom-
mediation of the convicts, aud all
without cost to the counties.
BY using the conyicts the counties
will be enabled to build new roads
and repair old ones without eutailinS
the cest of labor; the only cost will
be that for material and necessary
tools. The state figures that the
maintenance Of the prisoners will be
no more when they are scattered
throughout the counties than at
Moundsviilc. AVID at tine same time
the work in the open air viii benefit
their health.
If enough prisoners are not eontlh-
ed in the state penitentiary to meet
all the demands. the United States
government has requested that it be
allowed to make up the deficiency
which insures that there VIII be no
lack ef them at any time during the
year
The law also provides that prison
ors confined in the county jail snail
he sentenced to perform labor on the
roads. and after it has become eiEec
tivo all able bodied prisoners viii be
required to spend their time on the
roads instead of languishing behind
the bars.
So far the court has not heard
from tho application, but favorable
reply is expected within few days.
aad as arrangements can be made
the prisoners win be brought here
and nut to work BY this plan the
court hopes to make great improve
mcuts on the roads this year ana as
ii is the cheapest way known there
is every reason to believe much VAN
