leaders may be lulled into a sense of
false security but there are competi-
tors further down in the lists who have
it in their power to surprise these too

TIMOTHY's TRIUMPH.

The show was great they all did say.
But our hero couldn't see,
The scheme then that he undertook,
Was fine for Timoth-ee.
"Most certainly mott" repeated the
lady in front for the fourth time. Il

my hat. You seem to be the only man
in the audience who has the slightest
desire that remove it."
But madam" walled Timothy Yam

and I'll be glad to tell you'll can see
all right" returned the lady in front.
And she coolly raised her opera
glasses again and turned her back.
II bet this would be good show II
/ could only see it," unused Yanders.
Suddenly he felt an unusual sensation
in his brain. It was bright idea en-
tering.
Timothy Yanders hastily rolled his
spring overcoat into ball, placed it
in his seat. sat on it and then placed
his Panama hat on his head.
Hey! OF with that hat! Hats of
in front! Hats OFF," shouted a dozen
indignant voices from behind
"Oh, mercy" What way to, ask %
calculated the lady in front, and hur-
riedly removed her hat So did Tim
othy Yanders, and enjoyed the rest OF
the show immensely.

My baby is a year old. Dare I
wean him in summer?
Yes. unless he is in very delicate
condition and your physician advises
against 1t. AS a rule mothers milk
is not sufficiently nourishing for a
baby twelve months old or more.
Wean him gradually, not suddenly.
At first, substitute one bottle feeding,
about midday. for a breast feeding.
Give whole milk, 8 ounces or 16 Ia
blespoons; barley water 2 ounces or
4 tablespoons. If possible, persuade
the baby to drink this from spoon
or cup. 1t is time he learned to
drink. IF he refuses, then resort to
the bottle. At the end of three or
four days. If he seems well. give two
bottles or cup feelings instead of one.
At the end OF month or six weeks
he will be weaned. It is mistake to
withdraw the breast abruptly and
give nothing but modified milk. This
should be done only in case OF emer-
seney, dangerous Illness OF the
mother, etc.
My milk does not seem to salts
fly my six months old baby. He
wants to nurse constantly and
cries great deal. Should he be
weaned?

Iisfy his hunger, and your strength
should be built up. If youN milk Is
rich he has been spoiled by irregular

ger OF teething?
Not when the baby is teething nor
mally and his digestion is generally
good. Teething is a normal process.
illness during teething comes gener-
ally from digestive disorders, not
from the pain OF dentition. Wean
the baby gradually. using judgment
in selecting the formula, feed resu-
'larly. watch the bowels carefully and
lif the baby seems normal, there Is no
danger.

Progressive physicians and BABY
specialists, no longer set definite
month for weaving. In fact, when

matte. starting within a few months
after birth. A bottle feeding is given
once day, In place of the. usual
breast feeding, at three months or
even earlier. This is increased TO
two feelings a day at six months.
soon after this, the baby is trained to

Prohibition Succeeds.

That the people OF West Virginia are
not at heart violatofs OF law Is en-
phasized by the marvellous success
thus far of the prohibition law. Even
saloonists themselves who were held
| up as willful violators of law at heart
when the license system was in vogue
In West Virginia have turned out not
to be the human fiends they were pic
tured.
Considering the radical transition
from wet" to dry between two days,
the change came peacefully. There
was no struggle, no strife, no excite
ment and an even tenor OF way inn
mediately possessed the people and
has been theirs the two months since:
The newness soon became old and
the new way is now an old way OF the
people. The new order Of things was
accepted in good faith and it has been
sacredly kept in the main.
While the rigors OF the law have
played important part in acceptance
and compliance with that law, yet the
temper OF the people through educa-
tionai process has had to do with the
observance OF the law and practical
results have largely removed skepti-
cism as well as created faith in pro-
hibition as wholesome economic
measure.
PrOn1D1tlou now as II ID IL CSos
Virginia does not prohibit drinking
and to that extent he who says pro
hibition does not prohibit" Is right.
but there is no denying the fact that
drunkenness in West Virginia the last
two months has been SO infinitessi-
mally small as not to be noticeable at
all. The prohibition law must be CIV
en- credit for this. On the other hand
were the people so Inclined they could
all be drunk under the present law
and not violate the law to get that
way. They are not so disposed, which
fact highly commends them
Prohibition in this state will not be
endangered SO long as the law works
as successfully as it has the first two
months Of its operation and only a
change Of the disposition Of the peo-
pie of the state and lack OF the laws
enforcement can bring danger to 1t.

has the next legislature way Will
have to be provided to meet the sttua-
ton caused by these two factors. The
Republicans have been eminently cap
able as legislators and the state has
prospered under Republican rule as
it never prcspered when Democrats

teaches that the safe and sane thing
to do is TO elect Republican legisla-
ture to meet this situation.

TAXATION and Democrats.

While the Democratic press Is
charging "extravagent expenses 70
the state administration, 1t shouid not
overlook the fact that there could nave
been no appropriations by the lasI tmo
legislatures for state expenses, II the
nemccratic members had not consent
ed to the appropriations and had not
annroved the estimates and recommen-
dations made by the governor. II the
annropriations have been unwarrant-
efi Ia amount or character, Democratic
LEGISLATORS must take their snare OF
the blame.
The house of Delegates was over
wheImingly Democratic in 1911 when
approximations we're made to run the
state government If those appropria-
tons provided for extravagent expen-
ditures, the blame certainly attaches
largely to Democratic legislators. In
1918 the Senate was of such political
character that a Democrat occupied
the chair as president OF 1t. The
Democrats in the Senate could have
prevented the passage of the appro-
priations bill Democratic senators
then are to blame if those appropr1a-
tons were eXtravagant.
Furthermore, before the thread-bare
charge of "extravagant expenditures
can be even reasonably impressed on
the public mind, there will have to be
q bill of particulars and that has never
been forthcoming nor is it now.
The necessity for increased revenues
is plainly understood by all. That
some part of the old Virginia debt will
have to be paid is obvious and all
know that when the prohibition law
became effective about $7eo,0e0 in
state revenues was cut off. These
amounts will have to be raised and
they can only be met through taxa.

Municipal Code Discussion.

Joining in the discussion OF the
statewide need for a municipal code,
the Martinsburg World corroborates
what the Telegram and other news
papers have said about the manner In
which the people have been buncoed
under the Ubiquitous special charter
system.
after a charter has been prepared
and studied by the people, lobbyists
always follow it to the state legisla-
ture," says the World, and make such
recommendations that changes are
usually made and when the people be-
gin living under their form of govern
rnent they quickly learn that they
have been hoodwinked. If the lobby
lists were driven from the legislative
halls and committee rooms there
would be less complaint about city
charters. There's where the trouble
lies"
After commencing the idea of giving
communities more self government
and noting that too much care cannot
be exercised in looking after the in
terest OF the people, the World goes
on to say that it is not the business OF
any city what the charter is of a
neighbor, neither is it the business of
the state legislature what kind OF a
charter any city wants"
This theorum appears to be based
upon the assumption that all munich
palities are law unto themselves and
are dependent in nowise upon any
higher authority. 1t must be remem-
bered, however, that municipalities OF
West Virginia cannot be governed lie
the free cities, or. free city states as
they were sometimes called, of the
medieval period In certain respects
they owe their creation to the higher
authorities OF national and state gov
ernments and have certain duties and
obligations in relation to those organ
izations, which must be observed and
maintained. In view of these facts, 1t
is, therefore, the business OF the peo-
pie of one city what a neighbours char
ter is and the business of the legis-
should have The people of city are
citizens of their state as we'll as CT
liens OF that city.
The World also INDUCES itself in
the rather broad and indefinite gen
eraliaztion that latter all it would be
far better If the cities were under
commission forms of government. >
This is too hazy. Before charter suf-
ferers are allowed to run wild with
the rather empty term OF commission
form" some rational definition of the
KIM QSSlISO SAOuAo NC A44o0O 81 IA4e~S
the people will know something about
it.
The term, commission form" covers
a multitude of sins and transgressions.
The fundamental idea of that scheme
was once supposed to be the consol-
idation of the legislative with the
executive departments of city govern
ment. Once upon time the people
of Fairmont so thought. but one morn
ing when they awoke under a new
form of charter given government they
found to their chagrin that they had
not only number of new commits
sioners drawing fat salaries from their
pockets, but also the same old city
council with its legislative preroga-
tives. Under the right kind of munici-
pal code, the people of Fairmont. could
not have been victimized in any such
manner.

The president may be forced to try
to crowd into the coming short ses-
sion al the measures left over by the
last Congress which he particularly
wants, so as to get them through with
the big majority he now has in the
House. If he does that, the appro-
Priation bill will have to go by the
boards. An extra session would then
be called in March or April to pass
the measures providing money for the
government,
The short session which convenes
on December z will come to an end
March next. This leaves nominal
ly three months for work. Out of
this comes the first week in Decem-
Der, with no opportunity for real
action, and two weeks for Christmas

Johnson FIRST CALIFORNIA
GOVERNOR TO BE REELECTED

Although there have been twenty
three governors since the passing of
the Old Spanish rule in California, Hi
ram w. johnson is the only COVER
nor that ever was reelected in this
state.
The first governor of American
blood was Peter H. Burnett. He was
elected November 13, 1S49, and was
inaugurated December 20, 1S49. He
resigned January 8, 1851, and Lieu
tenant Governor John McDougal was
appointed to succeed him. Up to Gov
ernor Johnson, the following served
as chief executive in the order named:
John Bigler, J. Neeley Johnson, John
B. Weller, Milton S. Latham, John G.
Downey, Leland Stanford, Frederick
F. Low, Henry H. Haight, Newton
Booth, Roualdo Pacheco, William lr-

Vacancies to Be Filled.

Sacramento, Nov. 6.-As a result
of the election, Governor Johnson will
have a number of appointments to
make. the most important of whicn
will be the appointment of a new
member of the state railroad commits
sion at an annual salary of $4,000, to
succeed John NJ. Eshleman, lieutenant
governor elect.
Governor Johnson will have the
appointment of a superior Judge in
San Francisco to succeed Judge Will
liam F. Lawlor, elevated by the cleo
ton to the supreme court. A su-
perior Judge will also have to be
appointed to succeed Judge Benjamin
F. Bledsoe of San Bernardino, ap-
pointed to federal judgeship in the
Los Angeles district.
Should State Treasurer E. D. Rob-
erts resign, as has been reported at
times and as often denied by Rob
erts, Governor Johnson will likewise
have to appoint new treasurer 60
serve until January 1. In this event
Friend w. Richardson, present state
printer and state treasurer-eleet,
would undoubtedly be appointed, and
then some one would be appointed
state printer. At any rate Governor
Johnson will have the appointment OF
state printer at the beginning of
1915 to serve four years at an annual
salary of $4,000.
If the investment companies act,
which was No. on the ballot, has
carried, Governor johnson will have
the appointment of a commissioner
of corporations at an annual salary
of $4,000 year.

MUTT AND JEFF IN
MEXICO" ARE COMING

Grand opera was succeeded by
comic opera and comic opera by musical
comedy. Legitimate drama gave way
to farce comedy. Dramatic, melo-
dramatic, travel and educational mo-
ton pictures are falling prey to the
ravages of comedy pictures. The
answer! The people want to laugh,
first, last and all the time. This has
been the nucleus of Gus Hills sue
cess. He has always aimed to make
people laugh, therefore it is not to
be wondered at that Mutt and Jeff"
holds the undisputed record of finan-
cial and popular success of recent
theatrical history. Laughter is the
most popular sensation on earth.
Gus Hill has selected company
of fifty capable performers, to support
the two comedians who are physically
fitted to depict Bud Fishers own
ideas, and has made Mutt and jeff
in Mexico" one of the biggest and
most important musical comedy pro-
ductions of the current season. Every
thing is offered that will afford rest
to the weary business tired brain of
men and women.
Mutt and jeff in Mexico" comes
to the Opera House, Monday, Novem-
her 23rd. Go and see them! Certain
ly the show is nonsensical, so are the
cartoons, but you've laughed at them
for four years and you'll continue to
do so. Get seats early, then you can
be sure they'll be- good ones.
