Jefferson County Man Guilty

Charles Town, w. Va, Nov.
20. e. Graham Wilson, whose
trial for an assault on Miss Kate
turner has. filed the Jefferson
county court house for more than
a week, was found guilty after
the jury had spent a night in de.
batting the testimony. The jury
recommended leniency, which
saves him from hanging as under
the law the. court has no alterna.
tive if a verdict is returned with.
out a recommendation.
Wilson, who is a wealthy farm.
er, showed no signs of emotion
when the verdict was read.
Judge Woods granted counsel fol
Wilson until December 10, to pre-
pare bills of exception, and argue

Ma ior Elliott ReappOinted

Charleston, w. Va. Noy. &c. =
Although the appointment was
made in July, it was not learned
until Tuesday that Adjutant Gen
eral Charles D. Elliott had been
reappointed by the governor. In
fact, the appointment was kept
so secret that the various appli-
cants have retained more or less
confidence that they would be
named to fill the Office which has
been occupied for the past three
years by General Elliott. Cap
tain John Bond, who was provost
marshal in the strike district for
many months, and one of the
best equipped officers in the Ma
tional Guard, was one of those
who. had. expected the appoint
ment. Major James l. Pratt was
also likely candidate for some
time. Hon. H. S. White, of Min
go, had been given reason for be-
lieving he would be appointed.

An Endorsement Of Wilson

President Wilson was greatly
pleased at the sweeping Demo-
cratic victories in the recent cleo
ton. This election in which the
Democrats won such a sweeping
victory in the normally republi-
can states of Massachusetts, and
New Jersey and an overwhelming
Democratic victory in Maryland
has convince1 the whole country
that President Wilson has the un-
limited confidence of the entire
public. In these three states the
candidates he approved won
slowly for the reason that the
people wanted it to be known that
they were backing President. Will
son. In the City election of New
York he had the courage to turn
down the nominees of Tammany
Hall and his silent but moral sup
port of John Purroy Mitchell, the
independent-reform candidate,
resulted in Mitchell's election by
the overwhelming majority of
one hundred and twenty one
(121, 000) over Mccall, the Tam
many candidate for Mayor. Pres
ident Wilson thereby serves no.
tice that he will not support any
corrupt machine like Tammany
regardless of how loyal they claim
to support the Democratic party.
The people of this country now
realize that as an able, incorrupt-
ible and mastery statesman and
Democratic leader, Woodrow Will
son has never been excelled by
even Jefferson or Jackson. 1t is
very likely that in the Congress
sional election next year the
Democrats will win another
sweeping victory under the Will
son leadership as they did in 1912.

ance was introduced as raccoon
meat was served in a we'll known
local cafe Thursday night John
F. Ridgley and a party of friends.

them great uneasiness in the re-

Going to Cut Pie Soon

Washington, Nov. &c. Sam A.
Hays, collector of internal rev.
enue for the district of West Vir-
ginia, has been here for a day or
two trying to get the list of new
deputies for his office fixed up
and approved by the Commission
er of Internal Revenue and the
Secretary of the Treasury.
When the bill was passed ex-
empting the deputy collectors of
internal revenue from the provi-
sions of the civil service, an or
der was issued to the effect that
this was not to be understood as
license to put the spoils system
into force and requiring that all
appointments for deputy collect
orships be made by the Treasury
Department and not by the COL
lector of internal revenue. Col
lector Hays, of course, will rec
ommend those whom he wishes
to have appointed, but there is
no assurance of this. Mr.. Hays
came here to see the Commission
er of Internal Revenue about the
appointments and found him out
of the city. He is not expected
to return for several days, so that
some Thanksgiving presents to
Democrats will not be made by
the collector for West Virginia.
The appointments are expected
to come soon, however, as it is
understood Mr.. Hays has his list
about completed and will be
ready to present it to the Com
missioner when he returns the
last of this week. No intimation
has been given by Mr.. Hays as to
who is on his list.
j. Robert Anderson, former
chairman of the Democratic
county committee of Wood coun-
ty and Democratic nominee for
judge of the Parkersburg circuit
at the last election, has been APP
pointed TO a position under the
Department of Justice and has
entered upon his duties. Mr..
Anderson has been appointed one
of the assistant attorneys attach
ed to the department and will
have to make his headquarters in
Washington. This makes two
special attorneys of the Depart
ment from West Virginia. the
other being Charles E. Peddicord,
formerly secretary to Congress
man Davis, while the latter was
in Congress. Mr.. Peddicord has
been assigned to special duty I'M
der the Solicitor General.
State Senator w. G. Peterkin,
of Parkersburg, and B. M. Amb-
Ter, of the same place, have been
here on legal business. Mr.. Pc
terkin has returned home, while
Mr.. and Mrs. Amber are here to
spend Thanksgiving day with
their daughter, the wife of Con-
gresham Moss.

How the Red Cross Seal Origi
mated

Nearly 81, 100000 has been
rasied by Red Cross Christmas
Seals in the last five years, and
yet many people do not know
how this charity stamp idea orig
mated.
Some of your grandmothers
first played post office" with
stickers similar to Red Cross Seals
way back in 1862, when they
conceived the idea of selling
stamps at fairs for the benefit
of the relief funds for the SOL
diers' hospital in Brooklyn, Bos-
ton and elsewhere. Nearly 81, =
900, 600 was raised in this way
before 1865. After the war, this
method of raising money was dis
continued in this country for a
generation. although it found
vogue in Portugal, Switzerland.
Austria, France, Spain, Den
mark, Norway, Russia, Sweden
and other European countries.
There are now thousands of diff
ferent types of charity stamps
used in all parts uf the world, as
many as forty being used in Aus
tria for children's hospitals alone.
Stamps or seals were first used
to get money for the anti-tuber-
culosis crusade in Norway and
Sweden in 1904. To Jacob Riis,
the well-khown social worker of
New York, and to Miss Emily P,
Bissell. the energetic secretary
of the Delaware Red Cross, joint
ly belong the honor of originating
our American Red Cross Christ
mas Seal. In 1909, Mr.. Riis' in
terest was aroused by the re-
ceipt of a Christmas tuberculosis
stamp on letter from Norway.
He published an article about
this queer-looking stamp in the
Outlook" and suggested some
possible uses for it in this coun-
try. Miss Bissell at once saw an
opportunity here and prepared a
stamp, from the sale of which
her society realized $4,000 for tu-
berculosis work. So impressed
was she with this success that
she induced the American Red
Cross to take up the sale in 1908
on a national basis. With very
little organization and with hard
ly any attempt at careful adver-
Using, the sale that year brought
in, nevertheless, over $135, coo
for anti-tuberculosis work in var
iou5 parts of the United States.
In 1909, with more thorough or
ganization, the sale was increas-
ed to $3.50, 900, in 1910 to nearly
1910, 900; in 1911 to over $3.50,
900, and over 10000, 900 seals,
netting 100000, were sold last
year.

Washington, d. c.. Nov. 26. -
Harry d. Perkins, who was rec
commended for postmaster at
Parkersburg, but declined to ac-
