listened to with an interest in their
effort rather than in the force OF
what they said. Sometimes occa-
sions of that kind revealed new
leader.
In Senator Nathan Goff the people
of the state did not have a senator
who had to bide his time, waiting
months and months, perhaps a
couple of years, to show his caliber.
Scarcely a month had passed before
he was in active debate in which ne
proved himself an intellectual giant
against men who had seen, longer
and leading service in that body,
and no man in the Senate commands
more respect for his ability, integrity
and patriotism than he does. In de-
Tending f1s=ewn state against threat
ened assaults by men who had no
good motive toward the state, he
acquitted himself with such SUI
perfor ability in debate that he-net
only further endeared himself to his
state but also arrested and won ma
ttonal admiration. Concerning MS
course so far as our state is con-
cerned, the Wheeling Intelligencer
puts it very neatly as follows:
Senator Nathan Goff's brilliant
and vigorous defense of the state ad-
-ministration and of the state OF
West Virginia has aroused the adj
miration of loyal West Virginians
everywhere. The Kern resolution is
piece of, impertinence designed
only to exploit few senatorial dem
agogues at the expense of West Vir-
ginfa. Senator Goff has ably de-
fenced the good name of this state,
and the sensible and the patriotic
course of the governor.

at Washington these days, II. Is not
absurd at all. True, the right of Pc.

is no attempt'to pass law abridging

Public hearings on the tarif bill
would doubtless have revealed many
a Democratic representative and
senator arrayed against features of
the Underwood bill. To prevent this
revelation and not to let the public
know how many Democrats stand
and to prevent these latter from be-
ing backed up by public opinion, the
Democratic leaders resorted to party
caucus and secret hearings, where
the party lash could be applied with
out public knowledge as to why and
upon whom. 1t is a nefarious piece
of business that will lend strength
to the tariffs bill condemnation OF
the Democratic party and it will con-
tribute to the doom of that party.

Retifeld,s Talk.

Secretary Redfeld of the federal
department of commerce recently
made the following public utter
ance:
1T is my hope, SO far as can TO
aid and not to hinder American IN
dustry. believe that, for it day
of freedom has just begun and that
we are shaking off the shackles OF a
real Industrial slavery to enter upon
the arena of free competition, strong.
athletic and vigorous, in which our
business will be stronger and safer
and in which we shall be happier
than before
The secretary evidently in his
self-boasting progressive thought
overlooks fundamental principles up
on which American industry IS
based, and is merely limiting his
line Of thought to internal affairs. II
is not logical to believe that throw
ing down all safeguards and in
wiling the world to do the labor that
our own people should do will be to
the advantage of American labor ana
industry
The burden of Mr.. Redfield's state
ment is based on what Presidents
Roosevelt and Taft sought to dc
when they prosecuted monopoltes

know it. His line of talk is in har'

Fritz Merrick, Socialist editor ana
an anarchist in thought, was refused
a writ of habeas corpus by Judge
Littlepage of Charleston and the
governors right to keep him in pris-
on was upheld. At the hearing it
was brought out that Fritz mad
sent to the governor word to go TO
hell. A man named Houston, coun-
sci for Fritz. was about to question
that when Fritz jumped up and de-
clared that he had done SO. Fritz
ought to be kept in Jail not only for
that and his inciting vaporings but
also for not having the principles OF
good citizenship. However, when
Fritz promises the governor to be
good, he will probably let him go.
The governor has kind heart.

too many talking for him with them

A Sneezinq Story.

A humorous story about sneezing ia
told in that wonderful collection Of
oddities, THE Arabian Nights" A
schoolmaster was particular in teach
ing his pupils the value of politeness.
He also told them that whenever he
sneezed they should clap their hands
and say, Long live our noble master"
One day master and pupils went out
for a stroll. The air was hot. and all
soon grew very thirsty. Great was
their Joy at last to find a we'll. But the
bucket was at the bottom Of the we'll.
and so the schoolmaster went down to
bring it up. When he was ready to be
hauled up the boys seized the rope and
tugged for dear life. Just as the
s~choolmaster reached the top Of the
we'll he sneezed. The boys let go the
rope and clapped their hands, shouting.
Long live our noble master!!'
AS for the poor schoolmaster, he fell
to the bottom Of the we'll. where he
may be to this day for all one knows.
