Former State Senator A. c. Mclntire,
of MartinSburg, another strong anti Will
son Democrat prior to the Baltimore con-
vention, was last Monday appointed
special agent OF the Department OF US
tlce with headquarters in Chicago. ne
position pays 5000 year. President
Wilson seems to follow ScrupulouslY the
scriptural Injunction, "Do good to them
that despilefIlly use you and prosecute
you." It's about time Tor Gray Silver
now. and then the Hon. Stuart Winsone
Walker, with the Hon. VIM. A. Mac
Corkle TO joyfully cap the climax.-MH-
roe Waterman.
1T seems painfully evident that the real
friends of President Wilson in West VIZ
ginia are not in his confidence, 50 lar as
the appointments are concerned Inc
appointment of MIR. Mclntire is not one
that is generally regarded as likely to re-
fleet credit upon the administration, nor
is If satisfactory to the Wilson Democrats
in this State that such as he are among
the very first TO be favored. The govern
ment cannot be properly served by small
caliber politicians whose chief recon-
merdation is that they unScrupulously do
the dirty work OF factional leaders. 1t
would be bad enough if they had been
fair toward Mr.. Wilson's candidacy in the
beginning-the fact that they gross
ly unfair makes it the more exasperatlng
that they should be rewarded first.
The candidacy OF Mr.. Walker for fat
federal position-that OF United States
district attorney for the northern district
OF West Virginia-is also Objectionable to
very large proportion OF the Democrats
of this State. MIR. Walker was in the
very thick of the plot 10 stifle Wilson
sentiment, and was among those who
sat in the Baltimore convention and voted
continuously and earnestly against the
Jersey man. That he should now have
the assurance to claim one OF the best
federal offices in the State is nervy and
indicate performance that is offensive
to Wilson Democrats, to say the least,
and if the President shall appoint him
over the good men who are so much
more deserving it will be diScouragng
blow to those who have been seeking
TO put West Virginia politics on a more
decent level. We hope that the conf
dence of the Wilson men may not be
shaken by further unsatisfactory appoint
mentS in this State.

the certificates, the price paid for them,
the lobbyists and their contracts with the

In sad but loving remembrance of nv
dear father, B. D. Engle, who departed
this life August 7, 1912.
In his grave. and softly sleeping,
Where the flowers gently wave
Lies the one loved so dearly,
In his lonely silent grave
He will never be forgotten,
Never shall his memory fade
Sweetest thoughts shall ever linger
Round the grave where he is laid.
One year has passed and still miss him.
=, Friends may think the wound is healed
But they little know the sorrow
That lies within my heart concealed.
