1T is stated that there will be no extra
session OF the Legislature to arrange for
deficit in the States finances, Tor the
very good reason that there is no deficit.
The Register has commended right along
that the oft-repeated assertion that loss
OF revenue from liquor licenses was play
ing havoc with our State finances could
not possibly be true, for licenses were
collected up until July, 1914. Moreover,
if we are not mistaken, the Board OF Pub
lie Works was empowered by the last
Legislature TO lay State levy sufficient
to make up for the loss OF the $500, 900
revenue from liquor licenSes-conse-
quently there need be no anxiety for the
coming fiscal year.
The abolition of the whiSkey saloon
is not going to hurt any individual, except
the limited number of dealers who have
been thriving off of the Indebtedness Of
their victims.

AT meeting of the Democratic con-
gressional committee for the second dis
trict in Keyser on Monday it was decided
to hold the congressional convention in
Charles Town on Wednesday, June 18th.
There seems little doubt that Hon. VIM.
q. Brown will be nominated at this con-
vention.
The convention to nominate Con-
gresham at-large will be held in Park
ersburg on June oath.

AT the primary election to be held in
Jefferson county on May sd Hon. VIM.
q. Brown will ask the voters to again
support him Tor the nomination for Con-
gress from this district. He will be OF
posed by Mr.. c. w. Brandon, of Philippi.
Without in the least disparaging Mr..
Brandon, who is an estimable gentleman,
we hope that the Democrats will give
Mr.. Brown handsome plurality. He
has been faithful in his duties as Men,
Der OF Congress, and surely no one could
be more considerate of the desires and
needs of his constituents than he has
been. Nothing that he could do for his
people has ever been refused-no matter
has been too small to receive his courte-
Gus attention. The Democratic party
owes him debt, too, for it is his own
hard work and energetic political activity
and good record that has caused this dis
trict to 60 Democratic at the last two
elections. About the only opposition to
Mr.. Brown, so far as we can learn, is
from those who have been disappointed
in not receiving office through his influ-
ence or whose friends have been disap-
pointed. With a dozen men seeking
every place TO be given out, it is inevita-
bic that such disappointments should
come. We hope that those who may
have been thus offended may take broad
view and put aside resentment, for the
good of the party. We know OF no other
Democrat in the district who can carry
the strength that Mr.. Brown can in next
November's election lie us nominate
him ungrudgingly, so that he may be en-
couraged TO make his usual splendid and
successful fight.

1T is reported from Charleston that
Governor Hatfield and Charles II. Bron-
son, a member of the State Public Serv-
ice Commission, had difference OF
opinion concerning certain matters that
resulted in fierce fight in the Cover
nor's office. Mr.. Bronson was so badly
injured by the Governor that he had to
be taken home in cab, and il is said
that he will bring suit for heavy damages.
The two men are brothers-in-law.
II is also said that Governor Hatfield
had a violent quarrel with Homer Gray,
secretary to The Board OF Public Works,
and the latter has resigned.

JUDGE DAYTON, of the United States
Court, has granted TO the Manufacturers
Light and Heat Company an injunction
restraining the West Virginia Public Ser
vice Commission from putting into effect
reduced rates on natural gas in this State.
The commission thoroughly investigated
this matter and ordered reduction as
result OF its research. Now comes
federal Judge again and says, stop and
every function of the State government is
held up. We have no doubt that Judge
Dayton is quite within legal bounds in
his action, but we cannot view with pa
tience this additional interference with
States rights. For five or six years West
Virginia folks have been paying excess
railroad fares because of interference by
the courts with legislative enactment, and
now the people are again deprived OF
what seems common right and justice.
AS Josh Billings said, il is mulch.

LAST Saturday the woman suifragists
made an impressive demonstration in
Washington. After very beautiful and
striking parade down Pennsylvania ave-
nue., participated in by prominent women
from every section OF the country and
representing every avocation and station
in life, the suffraglsts appeared before
Congress and presented their petitions
praying for the right to vote. The DEM
onstration was one that impressed all who
beheld it, and there can be no question
as to its influence upon Congress.
We hope and believe that the women
OF this country are going TO win their
fight for the right OF suffrage, and it looks
as If il may be soon.

Jacksonville is an up-to-date city OF
some $1,000 population. II is the gate
way to the great State OF Florida, and all
travel and traffic must pass through its
doors. 1t takes pride in presenting a
good appearance TO the traveller, and its
alert business men are watchful TO see
that they get their share of toll from the
traffic. The city has well paved streets,
fine skyScraper buildings, elegant hotels,
substantial business houses, and splendid
avenues on which are magnificent homes
showing the wealth and culture and good
taste OF the people. A feature OF certain
sections OF the city is the great number OF
magnificent live oak trees whose wide
spreading branches of living green over
hang the streets and bring out in beauti-
ful contrast the vivid colors OF the trop-
ical plants or the glowing brilliancy OF
the Towering vines that are so striking
and attractive.
Shepherdstown has representatives in
Jacksonville of whom il has reason TO be
proud. Bernard TruSsell, eldest son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. N. Trussell, formerly Of
this place, is manager of the plant of
Armour & Company and is in full charge
OF the business of this, one OF the most
important branches OF the famous firm.
Though still a young man, Mr.. russell
has made good in this important and
responsible business and is regarded as
one of the most successful men in the
trade. He has charming family and
delightful home. Joseph |. Triplett, Jr.,
is another Shepherdstown boy who is
doing well IN Jacksonville. AS member
OF the legal firm OF Dewell & Triplett he
is prospecting and takes an active part in
the affairs of the city. Mr.. Triplett was
a member of the committee in charge of
the social features connected with the
reunion. Both Mr.. TruSSell and Mr..
Triplett were especially kind and cour-
teous to the Shepherdstown pilgrims
who met them.
