AT Trenton last Monday President
elect Wilson made public definite an
nouncement that he intends his admins
tration to BE- progressive one. He said
that he meant to select progressives, and
only progressives, for his cabinet and for
the other important positions he will be
called upon to fill, and he emphasized it
in way that leaves no doubt as to his
meaning it.
Not only great majority of the DEM
ocra0, but the people OF this country
will take fresh hope at this definite an
nouncement OF Mr.. Wilson's policy.
There can be no doubt as to his good
intentions-tre only question is, Will he
be able TO separate the sheep from the
goats?
In West Virginia there will be a des-
perate attempt to fool him when it has
been made certain that he will not be
subservient. but let us hope that some
courageous soul in whom he can place
confidence will get his ear. In many in
stances those who are pressing hardest
now for office under the President elect
are those who did the most to stifle Will
son sentiment in West Virginia and fought
Mr.. Wilson and his progressive ideas
most bitterly.
They are undeserving of reward now
and should have no place in an admins
tration with which they would not be in
accord and where they could not, be-
cause they are not built that way, give
nest, unselfish service.

Big Celebration By the Reformed
Church.

The 35Oth anniversary of the printing
of the Heidelberg CatechiSm falls on Sun
day, January 10, 1913. the date set for
the opening of celebration which is III
tended to last the greater part OF a year
and is to include every Reformed Church
in the United States.
The Heidelberg Catechism is the stand
ard confession of the Reformed churches
throughout the world, embracing lo,OOO,-
600 members. The catechiSm was writ
ten in 1862 and published for the ilrst
time on January 10. 1868: Its authors
are Caspar OlevianuS and ZachariaS Ur-
sinus, University professors IN the city OF
Heidelberg, Germany. Under the pro-
lection OF Elector Frederic Ill it was al
lowed to be used and il rapidly grew in
favor among all the Protestant churches
OF Northern Europe, until today il is con-
sidered to be the only confession upon
which the Reformed Church OF Germany
German Reiormed), of Holland Dutch
Reformed), of France (HuguenoD, and
of Scotland (Presbyterian) and their
representatives in this country can agree
to unite, because il embraces the chief
elements OF Professionalism and avoids the
extreme Calvinistic doctrine OF PredeStl-
nation and the Lutheran Corporal Real
Presence.
The Reformed Church is one OF the
first churches of the Reformation. Ulnch
Zwinglil, its human founder, was preach
ing reformation doctrines in Switzerland
a full year before Martin Luther nailed
his theses on the church door at Witten-
burg. After his death on the battlefield
of Cappell. he was succeeded by John
Calvin, a French lawyer, under whose
care and direction the Reformed Church
spread all over Germany, Switzerland,
Holland, France and Scotland. About
200 years ago the first Reformed refugees,
from the German Palatines. left their
homes and settled in the Schoharie VAL
ley, New York. Many OF their decend-
ants are now in Pennsylvania, Maryland,
Ohio and the Shenandoah Valley. One
of the first churches established by these
German settlers was Christ Reformed
Church, ShepherdStown, w. Va, whose
records 60 back l35 years.
Blessed as the Reformed Church is
with rich historic past, 1t IS at the same
time very modern in spirit, as is shown
by her interest in the present Soul-wln-
ming campaign now going on in this coun-
try and her efforts put forth in behalf OF
Missions, Foreign and Home.
The celebration in process otformation
will continue during February and March,
as a soul-winning campaign, ending with
the usual Easter cele ration and culmin-
ating in an every-member missionary
canvass.
The first services in the interest of this
movement will be held in Christ Reformed
Church, Shepherdstown, January 10, 1913,
at II a. m, and in Grace Reformed Church,
Kearneysville, at 3 D. m, at which time
the pastor will give a historic address.
taking as his subject. "The Heidelberg
Catechism, its influence for worldwide
civil liberty and worldwide church un-
ity." r.

Editor Register-Now that those con-
trolling Morgan'S Grove fair have done
the rational and sensible thing in elimin-
ating the mere horse show feature that
has crowded out nearly every other inter-
est and have gone back 10 the original
purpose for which the fair was started.
namely, the encouragement OF the i'm
provement of all farm stock and products,
It is now the hope OF many that The large
sums that have been used as premiums
for horses only may be wisely used IN
featuring catt.e, hog and sheep exhibits,
poultry shows, corn shows, the vegeta-
bic Improvement, ETC., retalningo OF course
and charging the ladies' department, with
premiums large enoug 10 secure lively
competition among those exhibiting their
own handiwork. And right here | would
like to suggest reform in this department
namely-the exclusion OF all exhibits not
made actually by the living people OF the
counties interested in the fair. Ii might
be wise to permit the showing OF foreign
made articles, but they should not be en-
titled TO premiums. know OF some
articles that have been entered for years,
and, made by experts abroad, have cap
tured premiums each year to the great
encouragement the ladies entering their
own handiwork. This is not fair and
works a great injustice to those who have
with much labor and patience produced
their exhibits by their own skill.
Another feature that believe would
bring more people-hence, more money
than the horses ever brought-would be
to establish a fruit or apple show. Change
the date from September to October, for
we are becoming rapidly great fruit GEN.
ter, and if our orchardiStS had properly
arranged building or buildings for the
display OF apples il would not only bring
thousands where hundreds come now,
but it would advertise our section among
the buyers that would make our beautiful
fruit known the world over, as it deserves,
and put thousands OF dollars in the pock-
cts OF our OrchdrdiStS.
Give this matter serious thought, gen.
temen, and you will make Morgan'S
Grove a Mecca for buyers that will sup
prise you. Give us the apple show by
all means, and even if it is not advisable
to change the date for the fair from Sep
TENDER (which is too early for appleS) to
October, we could hold the apple show
as distinct affair at the latter date at the
fair grounds. The present date for hold
ing the fair is very unfortunate, as there
are few farm products at their prime that
early in the fall.

I'm Remembrance of Our Mother, Mrs.
Anderson.

III Remembrance vi ouT NlOLHCT, 4hES.
Anderson.
In sad but loving remembrance OF our
dear mother, Annie Elizabeth, who de-
parted from us August 18th, 1910. Gone
but not forgotten.
How love to think oil mother:
How love the cherished path;
How love 10 sound the praises
Due our mother 10 the last.
Dearest mother. they have laid you
In that cold and silent grave
But our thoughts shall ever linger
Around the grave where you are laid
Day by day we saw her fade,
And slowly sink away:
But in our hearts we often prayed
That she might longer stay.
1t was on the 18th day of August.
Just one year ago.
That our Saviour took our mother.
Called from the world below.
Dearest mother we will never forget you;
Never shall your memory fade:
As long as life and memory last
We will remember thee
In the home OF iadeless beauty,
She is now shining star;
Dwelling in the holy city,
With the gates OF gold aiar.
In tne graveyard softly Sleeping
Where the flowers gently wave
Lies the one we loved so dearly
In her lonely silent grave
Our dear mother. how we miss you,
Miss you more than hearts can tell:
Every hour and day that passes
Brings ) nearer with you TO dwell.
Friends may think that we will soon forget YOU
And our wounded hearts be healed,
But they little know the sorrow
That's within our hearts concealed,
Her busy hands are folded.
Her toll on earth is done;
Her troubles are all ended,
Her Heavenly crown she won.
BY her Husband and Children.

THE State Public Service Commission
of New York made public few days ago
the final result of its investigation of the
fearful wreck on the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western Railroad at Corning,
New York, last July, when 40 persons
were killed and Is others injured.
The engineer, VIM. H. Schroeder, was
drunk.
"The primary cause of the wreck"
reads the commissions report, twas the
entire failure of Engineer Schroeder to
observe signals" The investigation de-
veloped that the engineer had disregard
ed the duty of taking proper rest before
attempting the important work OF running
the train. He acknowledged drinking
during the evening before the accident.
The public would be appalled, and sur-
prised if il knew the tremendously large
proportion of wrecks that are the direct
result Of liquor drinking on the part OF
railroad employees. The licensed saloon
must go-as matter of self-preservation
on the part Of the people.

have to face vote on the Shepherd-Ken-

liquors intended to be handled contrary
TO the State laws. February 10th is the
time fixed for vote on the bill, and
lodging will no longer avail. The sheep
and the goats will be separated at last.

In the Senate on Monday Judge Rob-
ert w. Archibald, of the United States
Commerce Court, was found guilty OF
high crimes and misdemeanors. in that
he had coruptly used his judicial power
to further the private interests OF himself
and friends in the acquisition OF coal lands
in Pennsylvania. He was removed from
his office and forever barred from hold
ing a position under the federal govern
ment. His disgrace is terrible, but if is
deserved.
The impeachment proceedings were
impressive and dignified, but we think
that the recall of judges by the voice OF
the people would be more effective and
useful in the long run.
But better still would be the refusal to
name for high office men who fail to
measure up to the proper standard.

THE West Virginia Legislature has not
yet organized for business, owing TO the
failure Of the Senate TO agree upon pre-
siding officer. There are fifteen Demo-
Gratis and fifteen Republicans in this body,
and neither will yield the presidency
The Republicans got the better OF the
Democrats two years ago under similar
circumstances, but now the Democrats
have the whip hand, and they are not
disposed to sunender-in which they
are quite right. If the Senate fails to or
ganize there will be no election OF Uni
ted States Senator, and here's where the
Democrats have the advantage.
The House of Delegates has been or
ganized, William Taylor George. Repub-
lican, of Barbour county, having been
chosen as speaker. The Democrats
named as their candidate for speaker Hon.
c. M. Wetzel. of Jefferson county, who
was thus selected as their floor leader.
