The prohibitioniste Of the state claim
to have discovered a plot upon the
part of the liquor interests to have Mr..
Fred o. Blue removed from the Office
of State Tax Commissioner. and man
in sympathy with them installed in his
place. The Yost bill, passed by the
last session of the legislature to put
into effect the provisions of the prohi-
bition amendment, provided that the
Tax Commissioner should be charged
with the enforcement of the prohibit
ton law. According to a prohibition
paper just published, the liquor inter-
ests desire the removal of Mr.. Blue.
who is known to be in sympathy with
the law, and they further alleged that
Mr.. S. G, Denhan, the Republican
leader in this county, is most active in
the efforts to have Blue removed. We
have no way of knowing whether this
claim upon the part of the prohibition
is true or not, but time will probably
tell. There is nothing in. the past
record of Governor Hatfield, who has
the power to appoint the tax Commits
sioner, to Indicate any particular sym
pathy upon his part with the prohibit
ton movement. he having voted while
a member of the State Senate against
the submission of the amendment to
the vote of the people. 1t is under
stood that Mr. Blue has made very
satisfactory commissioner, and if he
should be removed without good cause,
and man in sympathy with the vets
installed in his place, it would lend
strong color to the charges now being
made by the prohibitionists. The vot-
ers of the state, by an overwhelming
majority, declared in favor of prohibit
ton, and until there is some expression
upon their part of a change of mind,
the law should be rigidly and impair
italy enforced.

FOR PRESIDENT,
WOODROW WILSON,
0F NEW TEPSEY

WOODROW WILSON,
OF NEW JERSEY
There, futtering in the gentle
breeses which swoop up and
down the Winchester pike, put
ting that fine complexion on the
cheeks of the apples and the girls
at Charles Town, SO that all the
world might read, or that part
of it which hikes the pike, it
fioated till the hound dawg bat
tie song was merged into a
funeral dirge for Champ Clark,
and the profession of pedagogy
was denominated a new route to
presidential eminence. The Vir-
ginia Free Press is the Oldest
newspaper in West Virginia-it
passed the century mark twenty
eight years ago, and from the
standpoint of being the most
original of all the original Will
son men, Editor Campbell is
easily the Oldest in that class in
his state. Otherwise considered
he is still a young man, as men $
age is accounted these times.
In view of all the circumstances
here and now related, what,
friends, is the first question that
suggests itself2 Why, to be sure.
What are they going to do for
Bill? That's it, and Senator Camp
bell is just as interested in know
ing the answer as his friends are,
and as breathless world a tip
toe on this paramount issue, is,
What are they going to do for
Bill?" Maybe they are not going
to do anything for Bill, and, in
such event, we shall see another
striking example of the ingrati-
tude of republic run by a Dem
ocratic administration.
With such a record as Editor
Campbell has he ought to get
something nice. Fact is, he
ought to be on the list of break
fast guests at the Wilson home
stead, and entitled to come in
through the back gate at No.
1000 Pennsylvania Avenue in a
neighborly sort of way. The
first and the last West Virginian
to breakfast there, SO fas as we
know, (and care), was Uncle
Nate Scott. It was in 1910,
when Taft sa1uted Uncle Nate
with the famous epigram of
modern history: "Scotty how'll
you have Your eggs2e Which.
has nothing particularly to do
with the case of Editor Campbell,
which is otherwise peculiar. He
doesn't know exactly what job
he wants. Something nice in
Washington might suit him, for
he lives not far from here, and
comes to town often. He can't
make up his mind, but he is
looking around, and when he
does pick out something to his
taste, his friends are going to
jump right in and help him get
it. The President is regarded as
among them"
In devising Journalistic
melange of fact and fancy
Charles Brooks Smith is as we'll
skilled as he is in mixing grape
juice cocktails, and other like,
inocuous Democratic beverages.
Possessed. with cacoethes
scribendi"- chronic-he yields
a trenchant, yet good natured
pen, and his shafts are never
tipped with venom, however far
his nimble wit may wander.
We opine that if he had been
present at that historic White
House breakfast, he would, de-
ferentially, have suggested that
them eggs" be served "a la
.Benedictine" or in some other
plutocratic if palatable fashion
than just plain friedn a la Andy
Jackson.

In one of his syndicated letters
to the Republican State Press,
under the caption will Campbell
be cared for?", our versatile
friend Charles Brooks Smith has
referred to the Editor in an
article from which we take these
excerpts.
Away back yonder in the
formative days OF. the candidacy,
when Woodrow Wilson and friend
McCombs were tickling the type

letters to all parts of the country,
having no money for hiring
typists and stenographers at that
early time-away back yonder,

The Isle Of LOnS Ago.
oh. . wonderful stream is the river
Of Time,
As it uns through the realm of
tears,
With a faultless rythm and a musical
rhyme,
And a boundless sweep and a surge
As It blends with the ocean of
years.
How the winters are drifting like the
fakes of snow,
And the summers like birds be-
tween;
And the year in the sheaf-so they
come, and they go
On the rivers breast, with its ebb
and flow
A. It glides in the shadow and
sheen.
There's a magical isle up the river Of
Time,
Where the softest Of airs are play
There's a cloudless sky and a tropical
cline
And a SON ID sweet as a vesper
chime
And the Junes with the roses are
staying.
And the name Of that isle is the Long
Ago,
And we bury our treasures there;
There are brows Of beauty and bosoms
of low
There are heaps Of dust. but we
loved them so;
There r trinkets and tresses of
hair.
There are fragments of song that no.
body sings
And a part Of an infants prayer;
There's a flute unswept and q harp
without strings,
wear.
There are hands that are waved when
the fairy shore
BY the mirage is lifted in air.: .
And we sometimes hear through the
turbulent roar
Sweet voices we heard in the days
gone before
When the wind down the river is
fair.
Oh, remembered for Y be the bless
ed isle.

When the evening comes with its
beautiful smile
And our eyes are closing to slumber
