Decline of a Good Pie.

OF all the pie family the pumpkin
pie gets the choicest publicity. Poets
extol it. rhapsodists praise it, culli-
nary editors exploit it. No doubt it
deserves all this adulation. There
are two reasons, in addition to the
pie's inherent virtues, that maternity
help its popularity. In the first
place 1t is closely knit with New
England sturdiness and progress.
and with the early uplift OF the ma
ton. In the second place, its season
is a limited one, according to the
Cleveland Plaindealer.
On the other hand, the custard pie
is an all-the-year-round pie. It's
principal ingredients is obtainable
through every season, and it re-
quires no more skill in preparation
than the other pasteries OF its kith
and kin. Yet the restaurant keepers
tell US the custard pie has slipped
back in popular favor and no longer
crowds the reliable old apple filler
for the top O. column.
In the earlier day-and not so
early, either-when the hospitable
board groaned beneath the weight
and variety of edIbles that crowded
it. and seven-course dinners were
unknown, the toothsome custard
came on in various guises-in pie,
en- masse, in cups, in floating islands.
Where are those islands of the
blessed now?

The Plea of Railroads.

Perhaps there has been no

argument that backs up the plea OF

authority to raise freight rates than
that which appears in the annual re-

Baltimore and Ohio. His road, with

oyor $1OO,OOO,OOO in improvements.

have gone up $10,oOO,OOO year,
says the Brooklyn Eagle.
President Willard asks for fiat

classes of freight and no element
calculated to disturb business con

measure on the belief that at present
business is good, and that the stock

The burden OF the Democratic
campaign last fall was that the Dem
ocratic party, If given cont.5l OF the
government. would reduce the cost
Of living. at was declared that this
would be done by the passage OF a
new tariff bill.
In all the Democratic speeches in
Congress thus far in support of the
pending tariR bin, there has not
been single declaration that the
cost Of living would be reduced by
that bill. Why is this notable omis-
sion or forgetfuiness?
The real truth Is the Democratic
leaders show that they do not know
what will be the effects Of the new
|law.( They merely give expressions
to hope that it will prove all right,
Experiments frequently make ipeo-
pie poorer hut wiser. This expert
ment may do the same thing so far
as the,D Democratic leaders know now.
Does any intelligent man regard that
good craftsmanship or a wise policy,
and yet the Democratic press of this
congressional district has committed
Nicely, nominee for Congress, to this
questionable craftsmanship?
Does this prosperous industrial
and commercial district want to ex-

concern to it? Does it want to send

Disinterested Friends.

Last year the Democratic editors
and orators strongly advised West
Virginia Progressives to vote the
Democratic ticket, as the surest
means to the need desired. This
year, in the First congressional dis
trict, where special election is be-
ing held, Progressives are being adj
vised openly, by insinuation and
otherwise, to stick to their own
nominee. This is a brand of consist
ency perfectly consistent with the
Democratic politicians idea of con
isistency. The Democrats had a use
for part of the Progressive party
the party they could use-last year.
The First district Democratic lead
ers have become very fond of part
of the First District Progressive
the party they can use, this year.
Such disinterested solicitude is al
most fearful in its appeaI.-Hunt-

AS bit of real fancy Imagination
the following by the Fairmont Times
is entitled to a blue card and it
doubtless would get it were it en-
tered at the county fair in the class
to which it belongs:
There is not a single reason why
a laboring man who is Democrat
should not vote for Mr.. Nicely to
sustain the Wilson administration.
Surely no national administration
has ever done more to relieve the
burdens of the common man"
Pray tell US, lad. what burdens
have been relieved by the national
administration. Show us where the
cost of living has been reduced.
Point out what benefits the common
people have derived. Herald what
good has come to the laboring man.
While you are about it, please
state why it was that laboring men
in many trades petitioned Congress
in vain to go slow with its tariff
tinkering. Why was it that heed
was not given those petitions?
Indeed, you will doubtless assure
the public that it is best for laboring
