The Dayton Charges.

The impeachment Of Aston G..
Dayton by Congressman Nicely
for judicial partiality to the e. 81
O. Railroad, and other serious
misdemeanors, has stirred the
State from center to circumfer-
ence, for it is realized that YER
liable .Pandora's box will have
been opened should the demanded
investigation be ordered by Con-
gress.
Already strenuous efforts are
being made to be1itt1e the charges
and in view of the support Of
many sincere and honest people,
who have watched with adnira-
ton Judge Dayton's unfai1ing
stand against the liquor traffic, it
is more justice to Withhold judg-
ment until the evidence has been
heard. I,
One thing, however, we are I'M
willing to believe that Con-
gresham Nicely would lightly
bring specific charges against
any man, unless he were con-
WINGED of their substantially.
Temperance, in its real sense,
has had po better friend in Nest
Virginia than Nicely. AS Mayor
of Fairmont he stood four-square
against the assaults of all the
powers of evil and kept the
faith" despite we'll nigh irresis-
tible political pressure.
1t would be well, to remember
moreover, that, while under the
regime Of President Willard the
political activities of the B. & O.
have diminished, yet there was a
day when its lobbyists and their
underlings worked hand in hand
with the liquor corruptionists,
neglecting no method, however
Infamous to encompass tile defeat
of those who declined to wear the
collar Of their servility.
Let their be an unprejudiced
and thorough trial of the charges,
and, if, in its course, some emf
nent politicians lose their lalos of
sanctity-so much to the advan-
tage of the common good.
We fail to understand why, if
Dayton is innocent, his friends do
not insist that the Investigation
proceed, rather than try to head
it off.

Echoes Of the Convention,

Charles Town did herself proud
last week in handling her first
C Congressional Convention.
It was a hummer, " and while
in inviting the delegates here
no mere mercenary motive was
in mind, yet as an advertisement
it will be worth thousands of
dollars to the town.
As visitor remarked, Every
citizen of Charles Town seemed
to be a Reception Committee. Z
Credit is due everybody for the
good work done.
The owners of automobiles were
particularly generous in placing
their machines at the disposal Of
our guests.
Now for the Chantanqua and
the Horse Show, even If that

tradicts the platform previously adopt

planks of the platform are identical

To pledge support to unknown can

it is rather anticipated for the year

they would make no more charters
for Grays Harbor until the bar was
deepened.
Frank H. Lamb. president of the
Port Commission, made most con-
vincing talk not only showing the
present conditions to be injurious,
but the fact that the harbor would
be debarred from any use Of the
Panama canal by the fact that the
small vessels such as enter Grays
Harbor in present condition will not
engage in the Atlantic Coast trade,
their capacity rendering them unprof.
table, hence the harbor would be
barred from the Atlantic markets by
water route.
w. J. Patterson, of the Port Com
mission, gave the board food for
thought in the statements concerning
the drawbacks Grays Harbor labor
ed under, that would, he thought. be
remedied by the extension of the
north jetty. Being asked as to local
cooperation with the government in
the improvement of the harbor, he
said the commission had $4,000
available for work, which had been
contemplated to do on the inner har-
Dor, but cited the agreement the
board had made to care for the north
jetty pending an appropriation, If it
mad to. He also told of the guaran-
tee of $4,000 put up by Grays Har-
Dor shippers to induce a New York
shipping firm to make regular trips
through the Panama canal to Grays
Harbor. This was done, he said, be.
cause shipping companies would not
have their vessels call here in pres
ent bar conditions without and the
people here did not wish to be kept
from the use of the canal while the
government was making the requir-
ed improvement.
Hon. Alex. Poison was the last
speaker, and he dwelt upon the fact
that the increase in value that would
accrue to the government owned tim
Der tributary to Grays Harbor would
more than pay for the Improvement
of this into one of the best harbors
on the Pacific Coast.

PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT.
Treating Pain.

Pain has its uses. BY means
Of 1t the physician is often help
ed to his diagnosis. He cannot
take the patients word for the
severity Of the pain. for what
one person will bear with COM
parative equanimity another
will describe as intolerable an
guish. The doctor notices the
patients attitude. his facial ex-
preston and. above all. his
pulse rate. Real pain always.
makes the pulse rapid. and. as a
rule. the more severe the pain
the more rapid is the pulse. That
is a good rule to remember.
Physicians often detect malin-
gerers by their entirely normal
pulse rate. and mothers can With
safety use the same test to de-
termine the reality or severity OF
the pains Of which their children
complain. 1t Is not always wise
or kind to give instant relief,
even when the suffering Is great.
In certain intestinal disorders.
for example, an anodyne will
quickly change the victims
groans to quiet, heavy sleep.
But the symptoms are only
masked, and the trouble that
caused the pain may progress
until It is too late for the opera
ton that might have meant a
cure. The safest means Of re-
lieving pain until the doctor
comes Is the application Of ei-
Their heat or cold. For some pain
there Is nothing like a hot water
bottle. When there IL much con-
gestion the same bottle filed
with ice water will give more
) relief.

oil will be found in commercial guam
titles in this field, but he firmly be-
lieves that it is a region worthy Of
the attention of oil operators.
1T Is significant that all places
where oil is escaping from the sur
face of the earth, either in seeps or
in oil-saturated sandy clay, and the
principal places where gas is escap-
ing are situated in that part Of the
field where the older supposed Gre
taceous' and Tertiary rocks are ex-
posed. It is believed that the course
of the gas at the Garfield gas mound
is not in the Quiniault formation.
through which it issues to the sur
face, but in the underlying supposed
Cretaceous' formation. The gas es.
Gaping in Quiniault lake issues from
q place where marsh gas is naturally
expected to occur, namely, at the
mouths of streams which have carried
and buried and are continuing to car.
ry and bury large quantities of vege-
tation, the decomposition of which
could easily explain the large quanti-
ties of escaping gas. AS this gas was
not analysed, it is impossible to state
definitely whether it is natural gas
or marsh gas. The location of the
vents suggests marsh gas.
Saturated With Water.
"In this field, as has already been
pointed out, the oil seeps, and occur
rences of smell mud are firmly be-
lieved to be situated near the crest
of anticlines. The gas vents are not
similarly located, because, as has been
shown, the gas escaping at the Dew
lis Mush Pot, near Spruce postoffice,
on Hob river, is certainly not associat-
ed with the crest of an anticline of
the rocks which outcrop just to the
west. It is also true that the gas es-
Gaping at the Garfield gas mound is
not situated near the crest Of any
known anticline. However, it may
be situated near the crest of an an
ticline of the underlying supposed
Cretaceous' rocks, which are believ-
ed to be unconformably overlain by
the Quiniault. and younger forma'
tons.
"As the rocks of this field, which
lies in that part of the United States
where the annual rainfall is greatest.
are undoubtedly we'll saturated with
water, and as the principal oil seeps
are situated near the crests of anti
clines it seems advisable for those
desiring to exploit the oil and gas
resources Of the region to drill in
the vicinity Of the crests of an anti.
cline rather. than in q syncline or
where monoclinal dips prevail"
