PRETTY scr FoR CHIEF!

Montreal, Ontario, Feb. 10
Judge Leet has had a knotty
problem put up to him in connec-
ton with the Indian custom Civ
ing the chief the right to- kiss
every girl in his village on New
Years day.
Lucy Deer, a pretty Indian of
Caughnawaga, charged Chief
Patton of that village with as
sault because he was not satisfied
with one kiss, but gave her zap
proximately 1000"
It was explained to Judge Leet
that the Indian mayor is given
six days in which to kiss every
girl in the village. Lucy told the
court she was willing to live up to
the custom to the extent of one
kiss, but that Chief Patton kind
of exceeded his duties. Judge
Leet reserved decision.

The police investigation in New
York-was there ever five-year
period in which the police were not
investigated in that city?-has, OF
course, brought the scarlet woman
into the center of the stage. She
made a weeks sensation in the news
papers with her detailed testimony
concerning police blackmail, and 1t
was evident that, while utterly with
out shame, she was, in this particu-
lar case, a shrewd, intelligent per-
son. Speaking to the New York al
dermanic investigating committee
she declared almost detiantly:
"Disorderly women are not OF
mushroom growth. They did not
spring up in single night last
week. They are as old as the ages.
They came almost with the light OF
the sun and they will be here until
the last trumpet sounds. That being
the case what is society going to do
about it? 1t is full time something
was done.

| the combined vote of the Progress
ives and Republicans for the Presi-
dency exceeded that of Democrats
by about $4,000 and that the total
Progressive vote exceeded the total
Republican vote for President also
about $4,000. At the same time
the Republicans elected more mem
bers of the legislature than the Pro-
gFessiyes did Even such Progress
ives as were elected We're elected as
Republicans on a Republican ticket
and by the aid of Republican votes
The Progressives merely endorsed
the Republican nominations without
making nominations of their own,
therefore strictly speaking there are
no Progressives in the Legislature,
all having been elected as Republic
cans. Because. of this fact Davis
.Elkins is demanding a caucus of Re
publican members for the purpose
ot nominating candidate for Sen
llicans whether they now claim to be
ProgressiEes or not. Mr. Ellkins
claims that while he does not belong
to the new party he is still much
more progressive than many of
those who belong to the Progress

doing of what the people want than

deadlock over the organization of

appointed under the terms of the
Rockefeller fund to devise means for
the eradication of the hookworm in
the mountain districts Of Kentucky,

Monday The report was for Breat-

hookworm, it is estimated. In some
of the Breathitt county schools every
pupil was found to be a sufferer.

The closing year has brought
about many political changes in West
Virginia and the year about to start
is expected to bring many more One
year ago today there were few per
sons who would have predicted that
West Virginia would give its -elec-
toral vote to a Democratic .candi-
date for President or that a Republic
can, would be chosen to succeed Sen
ator Watson or that Congressman
Littlepage and Hamilton would be
defeated for reelection and the, ma
jorities of Congressman Davis and
Brown reduced to almost nothing
Whether the coming year will bring
so many political changes as the last
year brought remains to be seen.
There will be few elections during
the year and no opportunity for
great political changes but the leg
islature which will meet before the
end OF this week will have an oppor-
tunity to make record which, will
have far reaching effect on the po-
litical situation in the elections soon
to follow. The manner in which the
legislature will treat the election OF
q Senator, the settlement of the Vir-
ginia debt, the redistricting of the
State, the primary election system
and matters OF finance and legisla-
ton generally will determine in
large measure how the different par
ties will stand before the people in
the general elections Of the follow
ing year. And, consequently the
eyes OF all West Virginians will be
closely watched by the people gener
ally.

THE REST GIFT.


AT this season of the Year, when
the hearts of the young are gladden-
ed by receiving. and the hearts OF
those who are older are made to
glow with new warmth by the be-
slowing of gifts, let US not forget the
example of him in whose memory
We celebrate Christmas. HE GAVE
HIMSELF.
Trinkets bought with money ger.
purpose, and articles OF use,
wrought by loving hands, give pleas
ure, but after all the need OF the
world is SERVICE, and back OF SER
vice is LOVE.
Though l pebstow, all my goods
to feed the poor, and though l give
my body to be burned, and have not
love, it protiteth me nothing"
Christ came to bring LIFE - well
as immortality to light: He came
that we might have life and have It
more abundantly.
We give most when we link our
selves In loving sympathy with our
fellow men-when we share their
hopes and aspirations. rejoicing
with them when they rejoice and
mourning with them when they
mourn. Than we, realize the meal
ing of the words OF the Master: "All
We are brethren" Then we heed
the commandment: Thou shalt love
thy neighbor as thy self"
This Christmas was rich In bless
ings in proportion as 1t lead US to
give OURSELVES, and thus helpl
to make life more abundant for
those about us--Commoner.

WEIGH PREPARES
TO MEET RITCHIE

New York, March 29.-F'reddy Welch
lightweight champion of Great Britain
and holder of the Lord Lonsdale belt,
arrived here yesterday on the Maure-
tania.
He announced that he would remain in
this country for several months TO try
to get a title bout with Willie Ritchie,
the worlds champion. Wech said he
would agree to any fair conditions for a
battle with Ritchie. He intimated that
he would make 133 pounds ringside and
readily sign articles for 20 round bout
on the coast. He said that he might
accept challenges from other leading
American lghtweights but he mentioned
no names.

When Joseph Tinker, the versatile lead

ON the 'bold and battle Scared last
week. a sensation was created.
Since that incident many things have
happened. Some have blamed Manager
Wordsworth and his lieutenants, and py
lieutenants, We mean all the old and new
men under his portly wing. Some have
criticized the umpire, who, in this IN
stance, was Scott Chestnut the local
product. Cincinnati scribe, Jack Rider
of the Enquirer, has written very hu-
morous article in which he expresses Won
der that team on which such tlas-
rant joke was played could have won a
pennant in Glass A baseball. The YER
satile sporting editor of The Montgom-
cry Advertiser. youngster in whom we
have great faith, although with whom
we have no acquaintance, has answered
the erudite Mr. Rider by declaring that
all teams are subject to bones every
now and then, and in which he clinches
his argument by narrating story OF
how the lowly Pretzels put one over
on the foxy Hughey Jennings.
And Mr. Mooney, sporting editor of the
Birmingham Ledger, recently appointed
official scorer (Which appointment was
most timely, and in view of the unques-
toned ability of the appointee, most de-
sirable) has found a marvellous and
otherwise astounding conflict in the laws
and regulations under which the great
national pastime has from time immemo-
rial been played.
In his paper Mr. Mooney wrote:
