Col. ROOSEVELT is to make one speech
in West Virginia in support of the Pro-
gressive candidates-he will be in Nor
gantown next Tuesday. He has written
a spicy letter in which he advises all the
Progressive voters to stand by their can
didates, and he is particularly anxious, il
is said, that in the second district no COM
promise may be made that will lead to
the support OF Hon. George M. Bowers,
the regular Republican candidate. II is
asserted that he is going after Mr.. Bowers
without gloves in his speech at Morgan
town-it looks as if Mr.. Bowers will do
well to get his answer ready beforehand,
for there won't be much time lett after

THERE has been no important develop
ment in the great European war since last
week. The Germans have taken Ostend
and both armies have extended their lines
to the North Sea. II is said that the Ger
mans will make desperate effort to hew
their way through the army OF the allies
and press on to Paris, but they will meet
with strenuous resistance. So far the
allies have been able to hold their lines
intact, though the fighting has been in
cesSant.
There are signs that the Germans are
getting their naval fleet ready for some
movement, and If is also said that an at
tack on London by dirigibles is in prep
aration.
The belief that the war will be a long
one seems to be justified by the express
sionS CT eminent English statesmen, who
declare that the allies will never give up
until Germany has been conquered or the
allies have shed their last drop OF blood.
Preparations for continuance ofthe con-
tlict and contracts for supplies for long
time ahead are being made, and there is
not the slightest indication of peace in
any quarter.

In response to criticism If the manner
in which the State revenues have been
expended, Governor Hatfield has been
making explanations concerning the pub
lie finances, which, however, do not seem
to be sufficiently explicit. We suggest
that the Governor would do well to make
full and frank statement Of the public
receipts and expenditures. This much is
due the people, and they will not be sat-
isfied until the facts have been given
them. For our part, we do not believe
that any OF the public revenues have been
wrongly expended-we think that the ad-
ministration is entirely honest. But il
seems apparent that some features of our
State government are excessively costly,
and the people ought to be informed as
TO whether or not such expenditures are
iustifiable.
We believe in publicity as the best
means of righting wrongs.

Confirmed Proof.
Residents of Shepherdstown Cannot
Doubt What Has Been Twice
Proved.

In gratitude for relief from aches and
pains of bad backs-from distressing kid
ney ills-thousands have publicly recon-
mended Doan's Kidney Pills. Residents
of Shepherdstown, who so testified years
ago, now say the results were permanent.
This testimony doubly proves the worth
of Doan's Kidney Pills to Shepherds
town kidney sufferers.
Mrs. Nettie V. Turner, Rocky Street,
Shepherdstown, says: 81 had compli.
cation of troubles, the principal one being
kidney complaint. My kidneys were
irregular in action and the kidney se:re-
tons were unnatural. also had head
aches and soreness across my loins.
finally used Doan's Kidney Pills, pro-
cured at Hills Pharmacy. and it did not
take them long TO make me stronger and
better in every way. They stopped the
soreness and backache and made my
kidneys normal. gave statement for
publication before recommending Doan's
Kidney Pills and am now glad to con-
firm all ! then said"
Price SOC, at all dealers. Don't simply
ask for a kidney remedy = get Doan's
Kidney Pills-the same that Mrs. Turner
had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props, Buff

ANY Democrat who fails to give I'm
grudging support to the Democratic con-
gressional candidates is striking blow
at President Wilson's administration, for
the success of the Presidents plans and
policies depends upon his having ma
iority in both the House and the Senate.
If ever there was time when a PIesi-
dent was entitled to the generous and
sincere support of the people, irrespec-
tive of party Affiliations, indeed, it is now,
for Mr.. Wilson's efforts to maintain peace
at home and his readiness to use his good
offices among the warning nations should
commend him to every right thinking
person.

THE dove OF peace fluttered over Wash
ingion last Saturday, when President
Wilson and Col. Henry WatterSon "made
up" The Colonel had been in hui
for a couple OF years because Mr., Wilson
had spoken his mind plainly, and the
Kentuckian could not get over his resent
ment. The rare tact of the President,
however, has finally disarmed the veteran
editor, and in response to gracious in
vitation from the President he visited the
White House last week, when the two
eminent gentlemen shook hands and be-
came better friends than ever. Truly,
the President is a wise man-and gra-
cious one.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There
is only one way to cure deafness, and
that is by constitutional remedies. Deaf
ness is caused by an inflamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inflamed you
have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when Il is entirely closed. Deaf
ness is the result. and unless the inflam-
nation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which
is nothing but an inflamed condition oil
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrhl
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

THE West Virginia Public Service Com

luxury under this administration. The

enormous sum of SIG, 472 04, although
only $25, 900 was appropriated for thi:
purpose.
