William N. Q. Dawson is queer
reasoDer. Recently he issued a
statement to the effect that the PRO
gressives sacrificed everything when
they helped to elect the Republican
state ticket and now the Republic
cans in turn should sacrifice princl-
pie in order that Progressive may
be elected United States senator. 50
far as marty success is concerned the
aProgressiyes had nothing to sacrifice
as shown by the presidential results
in this state. And, now there are
more Republicans than PFogressives
IN the Legislature, and if the latter
act as they did about the pres
dental election the state will have
but one federal senator after
March 4.

The Child Bureau Report.

To the conscientious reflection OF
those congressman and others who
opposed the bin for the creation of
a federal children's bureau, the first
report of that bureau is hereby COM
mended; and also is it commended
to the general public in the hope
that the fruits OF its conclusion may
be gathered.
''The United States is now losing
100000 babies a year." declares
Miss Julia eLathrop, chief,~of the bu-
reau, in the report, and experience
has already demonstrated that half Of
these might be saved If the simple
methods already known to science
could be brought to bear. Immedi-
ate notification Of births is necessary
SO babies under adverse conditions
may be sent the assistance which
may so readily be given by the
health authorities, visiting nurses or
other social agoac.es." The bu-
reau has prepared model registra-
ton law and urges its adoption.
This extract from the bureaus
first report vindtcates in part the
contentious Of its early supporters
that there is great field for its
work; and between its few lines
West virginlans may see, while re-
calling some past records with
shame, the necessity of better pro-
visions and adequate appropriations
for health measures.

A ynlueless Relic.

In one OF his recent letters, the
Bristol correspondent of the Teie-
gram notes that a Salem barber
found copy OF the Ulster County
New York, Gazette containing an ac-
count Of the funeral of George
Washington. This recalls to mind
the endless discoveries and unearth-
ings Of Ulster County lGazettes con
tanning the Washington funeral ac-
count, which have been reported
from countless sections at various
times during recent years. Invari-
ably the copies are said to be yalu-
able end curious relics.
interesting and curious this copy
Of the Ulster County Gazette IN
doubtedly is, with its mourning OIL
inverted column rules. its odd make
nm ouaint type, queer advertise
ments and most of all its near Eng
lish style Of the funeral report; but
valuable it is not. There are too
many thousands of this old Ulster
Comfy Gazette extant to give it any
intrinsic value. The autographs
Of the Telegram does not at the mo-
me,,t recollect whether a great many
Thousand copies of the Washington
snreral edition of the Ulster County
Gazette were published from the
original forms, or whether a large
souvenir edition was soon afterward
printed, but in any event plenty Of
them are in existence. Then, too
thousands and thousands of stereo-
typed copies Of this old journal have
since been published and circulated

the legislature have recognized him
as the party's leader. IL that action
suits the Democratic party in this
state, il Is, an admission that the
party has undergone conversion
from its alleged claim Of being FOR
the common people and mot for the
special interests. II It makes mo
protest. It stamps itself with the
|rankest insincerity.
However, 1t is scarcely to be be-
lleved that the party as whole ap-
proves OF the action Of It's repre-
sentatiYes in the leg stature, and
there is reason TO believe that that
action was not based on the party
WIN or at It's instance, but rather
upon the fact that most OF the Dem
ocratlc holdoyer senators. all OF the
recently elected Democratic senator's
and all the members Of the house
or delegates On the Democratic side
are Watson men, sEesult Of his ma
nipulation OF nominating primaries
and conventions.
AS such they acted for Watson
and not for the rank and file.
Although, the senatorial nomina-
ton by the Democrats means in one
sense only an empty honor. it sig
miles much in party affairs. The
failure to oppose him discloses the
fact that other ambitious Democrats
knew that he had manipulated the
party in such way as to be abso-
Lutte boss Of the Democratic part OF
the legislature.
Does it all mean that the Demo-
cratic party has capitulated to Wat
son completely?
