For His Stomach's Sake.

Speaker Champ Clark is working on
a pretty sound theory when he decides
for his stomach's sake not to oyerdo
the matter of dining out. A remark
which impressed him greatly was made
by Mr.. Spofford, SO long librarian of
congress, who said, "Most public men
and army and navy officers who die in
Washington, dig their graves with
their own teeth"
The stomach is the furnace room of
the body and the careless stoker who
chokes his flues with run-of- Their mine
food at late hours when his digestive
powers should be banked for the night,
is bound to come to grief.
Speaker Clark having brought a per
fectly good stomach to Washington is
too canny to trade it off for protracted
case of Indigestion even though he does
miss the distinction of being one Of
those who are with US tonight. !"
When he retires into private life he
will be able to sit on. the porch with
the folks instead of botherlng mother
to help him find the saleratus. Exchange

Another year has been ushered in. ar

call back memories, some burdened
with the fragrance Of sweet perfume,
Others also with the odnr OF stencil and,
vileness. Be this as it may the future
Is ours and what shall we do with it?
When the merry bells of New Years
morn were ringing in the birthday of
another year we have been slumbering
for several hours, yet partly awakened
semi conscious we had dream And
such a dream. We saw arGunited
Christendom. The Roman Catholic, the
Northern Methodist. the Southern
Methodist. the Presbyterian. the Epis-
ccpalian all cIasped hand in hand Climb
ing the mountain of self pres rvation
helping each other ove- the barriers of
daily sustenance We saw the fight
for bread replaced by tn It heavenly
command He that hath two coats let
him gise to him who hath none. y We
saw the b'anched cheek of poverty and
want, the tear stained eyes of sorrow
grow strong, healthy AID childike
through the invigorating current of
true brotherly love. We saw all kneel
rev rently at the name Of Jesus, w
saw all men kiss the cross. We saw a
Christian Thomas.
Dreams may be dtfintd AS flashes Of
the imagination witAeHt tine, space OF
continuity. We next saw The political
field, Men shaking hands because of
friendship and het for votes, promises
made with the sincerity OF truth, th.
oath of office taken to use public funds

squander, defraud. nor graft.
Merchants who would tell customer
that such and such piece of goods had
been IN stock for at least ten years,
that such and snch fruit was bought
at reduced prices because commencing

liable for damages. Womens clubs or
gatherings where the tongue of SANDER
was never introduced, where the refiec-
tion OF the character of the speaker
could invariably be read in the verdict
she gave of a neighbor, where the
jaundiced eyes of the evr-monger
would no longer make yellow the purest
blue of yonder skies. Nhere the tongue
Of gossip was not heard or listened to
and the frailities of one made the So
licitation of the other. We saw happy

this county is already known as the
Guernsey Capital of America" and
buyers for carload lots of grade or
pure-bred cows are attracted there
from all over the country. There is
perhaps no better example of con1mu
nifty breeding in this country, but there
are other very good examples. The
four such breeders associations in
operation. Minnesota also has num-
Der. One of these at Mortified, Min.
nesota, a Holstein association, in.
-cludes 225 herds and upwards of 1000
Holstein cattle, pure-bred and grades.
Buyers are attracted to this commu-
nifty without advertising, and they are
unable to meet the demands.
Community breeding simply. means
that the farmers in a certain commu-
nifty agree to do two things-frst, to
breed but one breed Of cattle, sheep,
best to cattle breeding; second, they
agree to use none but pure bred sires,
these sires being owned either indi-
vidually or collectively. Everyone is
absolutely free to do as he pleases
just SO long as he sticks to one class
of stock and uses pure-bred sire.
These ideas can best be carried out
If the farmers are organized in body
and where they get together at stated
periods
Is there not some community in
West Virginia, which would be richer
for having such a community breeders
association? True there are many
pure-bred sires used in this state but
we need more Inspiration instilled into
our live stock business, such inspir-
alton as is gotten from organization
and cooperation, from getting togeth-
er shoulder to shoulder and from rub
bling of elbows. The Extension De
partment Of the West Virginia Uni
versity will be glad to hear of any
such organization already perfected or
to assist in the organization of others.
Is there any good reason why we should
not have communities in this state
noted for Herefords and Shorthorns,
for Jerseys, Guernseys or Ayreshires2
Before the state can ever make big
strides as live stock center, we must
have community breeding.

Politics In 1914.

This year promises to be an
active one both in State and Fed
eral politics.
If the Governor convenes the
Legislature in extra session in
May as predicted, to consider the
Virginia Debt dilemma, a spec
ial election will have to be held
in Jefferson to fill the vacancy In
the House of Delegates caused
BY the appointment to Federal
position of Hon. c. NJ. Wetzel.
The State Senatorial nomit1a-
ton is already exciting consider
able interest.
If direct primary law-witli
teeth in it's enacted in time,
: the selection of a Senator will
result in a fair and uptrammeled
expression of public sentiment.
Both parties are pledged to it
in their platform, but there are
those in power who dread the
personal consequences Of a
straight forward appeal to the
electorate.
Our friends, the enemy, are
counting on alleged disaffection,
consequen mt to distribution of pa
tronage, to make trouble for the
Democratic candidates for Con-
gress, but we opine that for
every vote so lost there will be
two gained to the Democratic
candidates as an endorsement Of
the magnificent record of achieve
ment presented by the Admins
tration,
Then too the breach between
the regular Republicans and the
Bull Moosers is ever widening.
and with four candidates in each
District--Democratic, Republican,
Progressive, and Socialist--there
can be little question of West
Virginia being represented by a
solid Democratic delegation in
the House of Representatives
next fall.
In county matters tile main
interest will center on the filling
of the Circuit and County Clerk
ships.
If the incumbents are candi-
dates to succeed themselves it
will take strong men to beat
them.
This year the old machine tao
tics will not work. The voters
are we'll posted and will be quick
to resent any attempt at crooked
manipulation in the interests Of
any one, however strong his
friends at court may be,
After giving due credit to all
those who have so ably seconded
his efforts in behalf of popular
government, yet after all it is
President Wilson himself, who
will appeal most powerfully to
the. imagination of the voters
this year.
They are ready now to endorse
the men and measures he is in
sympathy with,
Unless all signs fail this is to
be another Democratic year and
if no mistakes are made a united
Democratic party in West Vir-
ginia should SO strengthen its po-
sition as to make certain its dom
nation in State politics after the
next general election-"a con-
summation devoutly to be wished"
and one in some respects of even
greater Importance that control
Z in Federal matters.
The next few weeks will de-
termine how wisely the West
Virginia Democracy will handle
its opportunity.

EDITORIAL AGE

Is t not fact that the people of Alaska ara approaching the coming election for the local legislature without seeming to be very much interested? This lack of interest is due no doubt to the empty sort of session the first one proved to be and very few results secured. It has gradually dawned on the people of the territory that the leg islature they received from con gress was a sort of a plaything to keep them from srying. The legls- Iators went down to Juneau filled with the great glory that was theirs and the ambition to gain disunc- ton welled up in their hosoms. A few of them at least were fired with the desire to shake the terri tory with their forensic thunder on the floor of "ths house" or sen ate'' as the iokers at Washington designated the innocuo1s toy gun they threw at Us as ar. impatient mamma throws a teddy bear to sQuawIiug two-year-old. The legis lature, however, apparently though the bauble was g cannon and sho off more than 1t would stand for To repair the damage congress has passed a new law, but this seem: to have been also useless. It i: really about time We get proper weapon and we surely can pick som good men to wield it.-Seward Gate way.

Useful New Invention
Enables Anyone to Play Piano or Organ With
 out Lessons

A Detroit musician has invented a wonderful new system which enables any person or little child to learn to play the piano or organ in one even ing. Even though you know abso- lutely nothing about music or have never touched piano or organ, you can now learn to play in an hour or two. People who do not know one note from another are able to play their favorite music, with this method without any assistance whatever from anyone.
 This new system is called the Numeral Method. We have secured the sole agency from the inventor, and, as we are desirous of at once making 1t known in every locality, we are making the following special free trial and half-price offer to everyone.
 You are not asked to send any money until you have tried and are satisfied with the new method. We are willing to send it to you on free trial, and you will not have to pay one cent unless you desire to keep 1t. There are no express charges to be paid, as everything will be sent by mail. Simply write us a letter or postcard saying: Please send me the Numeral Method on free trial" II you are satisfied after trying it, the Method and fifty different pieces of sheet music will cost you only S5, although the regular price of these is S10. You should not delay writing, as we shall not continue this special half-price offer indefinitely. Later on, the Method and fifty pieces of music will be sold at the regular price.
