"Doo DAYS."

How did the phrase dog days"
originate: 1t had its origin in igpO-
rance and superstition. The ancient
Romans called the six or eight hottest
weeks of summer "caniculares dies"
According to their theory. the dog star,
or Sirius, rising with the sun. added to
it's heat. and the dog days bore the
combined heat of the dog star and the
sun. The time was from July 8 to Aug.
II. Some make the time to extend
from July Is to Aug. 20 and others
from July "a to about Sept l. Sirius,
the dog star. was so called because 1t
was the brightest star in the constel-
lation CAMS major. or the greater dog.

Real Exfrayaeanee

throughout the state the Democrats
are attempting to gain votes by max
Ing the charge thRt the present state
government Is being administered
upon a ''recklessly extrayagant OASIS.
The official records show that the
last Democratic state administrator
was the most extravagant In the his
tory OF the state. Vixen William A.
MacCorkle was governor not only was
every cent appropriated by the $egts-
Iature and raised by taxation ex-
pended by the Democrats then IN COM
troll, but upon coming into power the
Republicans found large indebted
ness which had been incurred and
which had to be paid.
In MacCorkle's last message TO the
legislature he stated that several IN
paid bills were outstanding at the
various state Institutions, which ne
estimated at about $4,000. When
the legislature gathered them all to-
sether it was discovered that they
amounted to 1921 600, and deficiency
appropriation bill was passed In 1897
to cover these bills.
But even this large amount does
not cover all the expenditures by
which the disbursements OF the Mac
Gorkle administration exceeded the
receipts II was during that admin
1gLTaLl0us IuAL tuSs AaLtOholf s6Ot = -
ment refunded to West Virginia $780,
600, which had been paid by this state
to soldiers in the Civil war. This
added to the outstanding bills shows
that the MacCorkle administration ex-
pended about S4OO, 900 more than was
received from taxes collected.
Not satisfied with this extravagance,
the records further show that after
the national government had issued
checks in behalf of this state for the
$tS0,0e0, Governor MacCorkle paid
Ex-Governor E. W. Wilson and others
$4,000. Governor MacCorltle paid
the checks.
Would the Democrats If placed in
power again return to the methods
of the NacCorkle administration? AS
compared with the MacCorkle admin
;istration. the government of the state
as administered by the Republican
party has been most economical. And
there are no outstanding bills In ex-
cess OF the legislatures appropria-
tfons

The Dounfal. and the uplift.

To those who nave read or listened
to Democratic lies as to how pros
porous this country has been since
Wilson was elected president the fol-
lowing article from the Connellsville,
Pa, Courier. will be of interest:
Each and every one of the $4,000
idle coke ovens in the Connellsvflle
region Is a amterial issue in this cam
paign.
A Democratic vote is vote to keep
these ovens cold and smokeless: a
Republican vote is a vote to fire them
up again.
The political sky is dark with fads
and isms, but to the coke workers
and the people of the coke region
generally they are uninteresting
It's fine thing to save the nation
and your neighhor by giving your
time and means and votes to the pro-
motors and the candidates of some
uplift movement which has for its
primary object the uplifting to Office
and the placing in political power OF
a combination of pharisees and bypo-
critics seeking self-aggrandizement.
but when they ask that it be done
at the expense of the voters prosper
ity he very wisely and properly gives
it pause.
That reform which taketh away the
bread from the mouths of women and
children is not the kind OF reform
that is good for the workin gman
Democratic reform has closed down
half the ovens in the Connellsville
coke region and the closing move
ment still continues
The uplift which the Connellsville
region needs most at this time is a
restoration of Republican rule. Re-
publican policy and Republican pros
pcrity.
The uplift movement of 1912 has
proved to be hard downfall. There's
no use crying about that mistake. The
thing to do now Is to remedy 1t as
quickly az possible. and the first step
in that direction is to vote the Re-
publican ticket this fall.
