THOSE who formulated the new tariff
law say that its beneficial effects must
not be expected too Soon-that il will
take perhaps year to readjust prices
and secure the reductions that it is in
tended to bring. Nevertheless, one OIL
the leading department stores in America
has already begun TO advertise many
classes of goods at lower rates than they
have been selling for, and we shouldn't
wonder if there will soon be a scramble
that will mean big reduction IN the
cost of many of the necessities OF life.
Prices are too high on almost everything
they could be materially reduced with
out hurting anybody except those who
are greedy for inordinate profits.
Another significant feature of the new
law is the character OF the goods on which
the tariff is reduced and that on which it
is increased. The department store re-
ferred to-Wanamaker's, of Philadelphia
-adyertises that these goods are now
cheaper: Cotton dress goods, linens,
hosiery, underwear, watches and clocks,
furniture, bed clothing, etc. The articles
that will be higher are diamonds, amber,
coral, antique laces and tapestries, gun
metal jewe!ry, etc. The enumeration OF
these few articles is practical demon
stration that there is reduction in the
articles of everyday use and that it is on
he luxuries that the revenue is raised.

A STATEMENT comes from Charleston
that Governor Hatfield is considering the
advisability OF calling an extra session OF
the Legislature TO provide funds for public
purposes-that there will be deficit OF a
million dollars to the State on account OF
the loss of fees from licenses OF liquor
saloons.
We do not know who is responsible
for the effort to so locate the alleged de-
ficit-but it is not the truth. In the first
place, the licenses from saloons are still
being collected and will be until July, 1914.
As matter OF fact, the State is short OF
money because, wisely or unWiSely, the
present and former administrations spent
something like million dollars on the
miners strike in the Kanawha coal region.
II is an open secret that the mismanage-
ment of the strike on the part of our State
officials has been the costliest blunder
that has ever befallen West Virginia, and
the prohibition amendment has nothing
to do with it.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion OF the ear. There
is only one way to cure deafness, and
that is by constitutional remedies. Deaf
ness is caused by an inflamed condition
of the mucous lining OF the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inflamed you
have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when il is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the inflam-
nation can be taken out and this tube
restored TO its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases cut
OF ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition OF the
MUCOUS surfaces.

THE Underwood Simmons tariff bill,
the product OF the Democratic admins
tration OF President Woodrow Wilson, is
now a law OF the land. Having safely
passed through both the House and Sen
ate, the measure was presented to the
President last Friday, and at 9.l0 O'Clock
Friday night he signed it, using two gold
pens to write his name, one OF which ne
gave to Representative Underwood and
the other to Senator Simmons, The chair
men respectively OF the House and Sen
ate committees that formulated the Dill.
The President signed the bill in the pres
ence of the Democratic leaders. including
Speaker Clark, Vice President Marshall,
members of the cabinet, Mr. Underwood,
Senator Simmons and the members oil
the committees they headed. When he
had affixed his signature, there we're gen.
eral congratulations that the most impor-
tant matter OF legislation in many years
had been finally enacted, and the Presi-
dent was moved TO make brief address
to the distinguished party that surrounded
him. He spoke OF the passage OF the
tariff bill as the first stage OF an ilnpor-
tant journey, a,,. declared that the next
business was to enact as soon as posi-
BILE currency bill to give the people
financial security. $50 | feel tonight, "
he said, "like man who is lodging hap
ply in the inn which lies half way along
the journey and that in the morning with
fresh impulse we shall 90 the rest OF
the journey and sleep at the journeys
end like men with quiet conscience,
knowing that we have served our fellow
men and have thereby tried to serve
God"
The enactment OF the new tariff law is
one OF the most remarkable legislative
and political achievements ofrecent years.
Providing for complete reversal OF pol
icy, in that il is tariff for revenue instead
OF d protective tariff, it has gone through
both houses OF Congress with united
party behind if and leaving no sore spots.
We firmly believe that it will prove to be
the most beneficial legislation that this
country has seen during the present gen.

THE World Publishing Company, which
publishes the Martinsburg Daily World
and the weekly Herald, announces that
Mr.. A B. Smith, former newspaper
man. will take charge OF the Herald and
conduct it as a Republican newspaper.
The World is Democratic. The Herald
has been much run down at the heel. but
Mr.. Smith, who is Republican OF the
most uncompromiSing sort, is to put spice
and life into it and make il party organ.
II looks risky for one firm to conduct
newspapers representing opposite polit-
ical parties, and in this case the difficulty
is further accumulated by the fact that the
majority of the stock Of the World Pub
fishing Company is held by Hon. Stuart
w. Walker and Hon. Gray Silver, the
recognized leaders of the Democratic
party in the Eastern Panhandle. Atleast,
the Martinsburg Journal says that they
own Large majority" OF the stock, and
we presume that ii knows.
Some interesting questions present
themselves in this connection.
Are these gentlemen really in earnest
in establishing a Republican organ that
will oppose the party Of. which they are
leaders?
Will their own newspaper expose their
political schemes and weaken the party
they represent?
Can il possibly be honest in IFS politi-
cal expressions while owned by Demo-
cratic politicians and edited by a Repub-
lican?
Can ii have the confidence OF Repub-
licanS under such circumstances
Who will dictate its policy-its owners

NEWS comes from Washington that the
administration is not going to take va
cation this year. Now that the tariff bill
is out OF the way, the President will give
all his energy 10 the passage of the cur
rency bill. When this shall have been
passed, he and his advisers will see il
something cannot be done to bring the
trusts to account.
Ii is believed that way will be found
to circumvent them and bring about once
more a healthy competition in business.

uric acid which excites the kidneys,

the waste and poison from the blood,
then we get sick. Nearly all rheuma-

ALLEGES VERDICT OF

Effort to 30 Made to Secure New
Trial on Grounds That Newspaper
Reports Were Biased and That

will base an appeal to the supreme
court on this claim. provided new
trial Is denied in the local court. i;
Is not believed Judge Mullan will grant
a new trial, especially # il is based on
an argument that there we're srrors in
the courts instructions. This belief
exists among attorneys not interested
in the case, but who listened to the
instructions Of the court. They state
that the instructions We're fun and
complete aud clear in every respect.
All points involved were covered thor
oughly and had bean prepared with
more than ordinary care on the part
of the court

had been careless IN talking about the
case in the corridors. while jurors were

court procedure. They point with
pride to the American citizenship
and the reputability of the men Sc

ished the jurors relative to the mat
ter OF conversing or permitting any one
to converse with them or in their
presence on matters pertaining to the
case. and also told them not to read
any newspaper accounts during the
progress of the trial!
The Jameson trial has attracted
more than usual interest because of
the prominence Of the defendant and
the basis OF the case. Fraud and de-
ceit were charged. The jury was in
structed that If it was found that
Jameson had been guilty Of the charges
as outlined in the Instructions a YER

Special to Times-Republican.
Eldora, Oct 31.-The Eldora board
OF health On Thursday released the
embargo that was last week placed on
all public gatherings in this city, the
action of closing these being taken to
prevent the spread OF diphtheria. No
new cases have developed the past

there were thirty or forty cases of

spondent has made diIigent inquiry
and found that at no time were there
more than ten children afflicted with
The disease and these in a mild form.

their communities. but saw to it that
the information did not reach the out
side world by publication in the news

di:ion 10y informing the world OF the
facts in the case. Nothing is ever
permanently gained by keeping still,
ABOUT a known truth. This city is as
free now from disease as any place in
Iowa and wants outsiders to know it,
