Would Expell Bride Takers

eAAASoeo", W.. No., DSC., on
That members of the West Vir
ginia Legislature are guilty Of
accepting brides in connection
with the election of a United
States Senator at the regular ses.
sion held in January and Febru.
airy, 1913. and should be expelled
from membership there is the
finding of a special joint commit
tee of the two houses of the leg
islature appointed to inquire into
the charges of bribery made by
Prosecuting Attorney Thomas G.
Townsend, of Kanawha county,
who was assisted by Burns de-
tective.
One member Of the State Sen
ate and six members Of the house
of Delegates were indicted by a
grand jury in the Kanawha coun-
ty intermediate court last Febru-
airy on a charge of accepting
brides to vote for William Sey-
mour Edwards, Of Charleston,
for United States Senator to sue
coed Clarence w. Watson. Five
of those under indictment have
since been tried, convicted and
sentenced to terms in the state
penitentiary. Indictments "a
gainst two members are still
pending and the special commit
tee's report is not made public
concerning these two.
Those whom the committee
finds guilty of accepting brides
and recommends their expulsion
are the following:
State Senator Ben A. Smith, of
Roane county.
Delegate S. U. G. Rhodes, of
Mingo county.
Delegate Rath Duff, of Jack
son county.
Delegate H. F. Asbury of Put
nam county.
Delegate David Hill, of Mason
comfy.
Indictments are pending a.
gainst Delegates George S. Van
Meter. of Grant county, and
Thomas ]. Smith, of Doddridge
county, but the committees
findings in their cases are not
made public at this time because
of the fact that they might pre-
JUDGE their cases when called
for trial.
Senator Smith. Delegates
Rhodes, Duff, Asbury and Hill
were tried in the circuit court of
Webster county at Webster
Springs, on a charge of venue in
June, July and August, last, each
convicted and sentenced to terms
in the penitentiary. They are
now in Jail at Webster Springs
pending the action of the Su-
preme Court of Appeals on their
applications for new trials based
on alleged error in the trial court.
The report of the committee
shows the contradictory testimo-
ny was taken in several instan-
ces and recommends that the
Kanawha county grand jury
make investigation of this alleg-
ed perjury. The campaign ex-
penses of the candidates for
United States Senator are referr-
ed to as Large sums, very much
larger than could lawfully be ex-
pended, or is legally contemplate
ed, and recommends that a
stringent corrupt practices law
should be enacted since the pres
ent law is inadequate.

new students have already made
known their intention of coming; but
as usual, many will also come, who

TO be honest; to be kind; to
earn a little and to spend a little
less; to make upon the whole a
family happier for his presence:
to renounce when that shall be:
necessary and not to be embit-
tered; to keep few friends, but
these without pitulation-above
all, on the same grim condition,
to keep friends with himself
here is task for all that a man
has of fortitude and delicacy.
He has an ambitious soul who
would ask more; he has a hope
full spirit who should look in such
an enterprise to be successful.
There is indeed one element in
human destiny that not blindness
itself can controvert. Whatever
else we, are. intended to do, we
are not intended to succeed; fail 4
ure is the fate allotted. 1T is SO
In every art and study; it is so
above all in the continent art Of
living well. Here is a pleasant
thought for the years end or for
the end of life: Only self decep-
ton will be satisfied, and there
need be no despair for the de-
spairer.
