CONGRESSMAN AVIS SAYS GOV.

THAT ARE UNKNOWN TO
THE PUBLIC.
(Charles Brooks Smith

WASHINGTON, D, c., Oct. 81
Congressman Avis, who was prOml
ncnt of counsel for the state in pros
ecuting the legislative bride cases,
was pleased, but not surprised, when
lie heard that Governor Hatfield had
settled the Biddingcr claim out of the
governors contingent fund. He was
fully alive to the serious menace OF
these important cases If the claim
was not settled and. like Governor
Hatfield, was cOnvcrsant with the in
ncrmost details of the services per-
formed, which. to meet the ends Of
justice, must be withheld from the
public for the time being. 81 con-
graduate Governor Hatfield on the
broad view he has taken in this mat
ter, and his vigorous and indepcnd-
cnt stand in discharging his obliga-
ton of the states. The reasons as
signed by him will appeal to every
lover of law and order in West Vir-
ginia. Having been connected with
these cases" continued Congressman
Avis, ~ am aware Of information and
facts that the governor had before
him. which he very properly states
will not be disclosed to the public at
This time. and ! agree that when The
public has ali these facts. it vii,
heartily approve Of the governors ac-
ton in paying this Biddinger claim
which is. in my opinion just and &
reasonable claim. and should be pait
by the state. believe that the poo
pie who want these cases prosecuted
10 II definite conclusion in the inter-
est OF justice. will generally endorse
Governor Hatfcld's action in the
matter"

State Senator A. Bliss McCrurn,

young Senator McCrum has had some
tolerably fine and easy going on the
political track. He had Just crossed
the line into manhood when lie was
elected member OF the house of del
egates, and after a couple OF terms,
there, which proved bis ability and
won for him universal commenda-
lion, he was elected to the senate,
where he enjoys an influential and
respected position in its membership.
When congressional prospects in the
Second district are discussed. Nc
Crum's name is generally mentioned,
and, whether he would care to make
The try next year is doubtful, yet he
IS regarded as a bright and shining
mark for the congressional lightning
to strike some time in the future. 1t
is believed, however, that he takes a
much more serious interest when the
speculation turns on the next prest-
dent of the state senate. He bright
ems up blithely when that is mention
ed, and it is pretty certain that his
most immediate ambition lies in that
direction.

30 man has been more aggressive
in his asscrtive individuality than
the king of composers, Oscar Straus.
He has been the most radical reform
cr in light opera musical schemes
with the possible exception Of De
Busy.
When all the workers in arts and
letters stood aghast at Bernard
Shaw's Arms and the Man" and
trcmblcd and thrilled at the unique
comedy satirical theme Of the play,
il took a Straus to evolve one Of the
most daringly romantic plots OF mus
ical harmony about a subtle comedy
which has made two continents Tilt,
sing and hum in the streets. cafes,
eating places and homes OF Europe
and America.
Straus was attracted to the Shaw
work from its setting in picturesque
Bulgaria. MIR Whitney, the pro-
Queer, to be assured Of absolute ac-
curacy went all the way to Bulgaria.
There lie lived for a summer and be-
came part of the homcly atmo-
sphere of these romantic hills of the
Austrian Empire. He studied close
ly the costumes, manners and GUS
toms of the peasants, as well as tho
coloring of the natural scenery. The
result Of his summers work has been
detailed presentation of light
opera which has gained the approval
of two continents with the record
run OF a musical production in New
York City.
