CountrX's Great Need.

Under the Underwood tariff the busi-
ness of the country has gone back, and
the demand now is to go back, not to
the rates and schedules of the Payne
revision, but to the principle upon
which that was founded. So-called
progressivism in the Democratic par
ty has failed, and the failure is in
uring to the benefit of the rejected
Republicanism. Forward-looking legis-
lation having sent us backward, legis-
lation repudiated as backward is now
to be summoned to send us forward.

COLORADO IN LINE
State Assuredly With Republican
Party.
People of the West Recognize the Ne.
eessity of Placing the Government
in the Hands of Capable
Statesmen.

Representative-elect Charles r. Tim
berlake of Sterling will be the only
Republican member of the Colorado
delegation in the next house, but that
is one better for the Republicans
than the present representation Mr..
Undertake was elected to succeed
representative Seldomridge.
1t doesn't make any difference
about what we did in the congression-
al elections" says Mr.. Timberlake.
Colorado next year will be found in
the Republican column without the
shadow of doubt It is true the
Democrats elected three members of
the house and a United States sena-
tor, but there were local conditions
that had a large influence. The fact
that the state is Republican is shown
by the election of every state officer
save one, the state senate and house.
In my judgment, we shall turn the
democrats completely out of power
next year. There is dissatisfaction
among the people due to disapproval
of the state and national administra-
SAOAo' VIC LII AOlOTdUO nave uO pd-
t1ence with the policies advocated and
pushed by the administration in Wash
1ngton. Free sugar does not set well,
nor does the attitude of the admin
lstration in its foreign policy. and its
general economic program. Had it
not been for unusual conditions there
is no doubt Colorado would have elect
ed Republican United States sena-
tor last November. Business in the
state has not been good. but it is i'm
proving some. The state once more
has assumed sovereignty in the labor
troubles, and l believe we shall set

mining districts where there were
strikes operations have been resumed,
and there is every prospect that the
mining industry will get busy again
soon"

HANS DREAM.


Hans and Martha were an old cou-

He was a very cross man and found
fault with poor Martha, blaming her
for all that happened to displease him.
His breakfast was too hot OF too cold.

early. II many people came to the
mill with corn to be ground he fused
because he had to work so hard to
support her. When they did not come
he grumbled because he had two to
feed and so little work
Poor Martha was very patient and
bore IL without complaining. but she
sometimes wished he would be a little
kinder to her. for she worked as hard
ss he did. sometimes helping him in
the mill.
One day 1t was cold and Hans came
in and sat by the fire.

Martha told him she did not know

Mammoth Crowd Greets TOtten

The Grantsville Lyceum Course
started Saturday night in a most
suspicious manner when an over
flow crowd greeted Totten & Co. ,
the first number of the season.
The entire Courtroom was un-
comfortably damned and many
were forced to stand in the door
ways to witness the performance
of the evening.
To say that the audience was
highly pleased with Professor
Totten's entertainment is stating
the case mildly. This was the
first time a high class magician
had appeared in Grantsville and
his marvellous feats of magic
kept the audience gasping with
interest. Not dull moment
was passed during the evening
and the entertainment surpassed
anything of the kind that has
been produced here. Those in
charge of the affair are to be
congratulated on securing such
talent for the course.
The next number of the series
is DIR. Andrew Johnson, humor-
Gus lecturer, who comes Satur.
day night. December 18th. He
is one of the best and most en-
pertaining speakers of the coun.
try and no doubt he will be wei

naming numbers of the lyceurr
course for $1.00.

Hrs. Catherine 6ainer Dead

Mrs. Catherine Gamer, widow
of the late Jesse Gamer, and a
highly respected lady of Pine
Creek, died rather suddenly
Tuesday night. Mrs. Gamer
had been in poor health since the
death of her husband nearly
three months ago, but her death
was entirely unexpected and
came rs a great schock to her
family and friends.
Mrs. Gamer was seventy-nine
years of age and before her mar
riage was Catherine Stalnaker. a
member of prominent family of
Barbour county. In 1856 she
was married to Jesse Gamer and
a few years later they moved to
this county and resided here un-
til the time of their respective
deaths. She was a member of
the Methodist Episcopal South
church and her life was devoted
TO Christian acts and good deeds.
Her loss will be deeply mourned
in the community in which she
lived.
The following children survive:
Samuel NJ, of Bashan. Ohio; A.
H., of Pine Creek; Guy. of Bash
an. Ohio; Okey j., of Henrietta;
Circuit Clerk Lee Gamer, of this
place; Mrs. Doud Stun, of Phil
fps Run; and Mrs. George Nc
Endree. of Pine Creek. Anoth.
er son, Solomon W., died a few
years ago.
The funeral services will be
held and interment made today
Thursday at st. Paul's M. E
South church. The service will
be in charge of Rev. B. F. King,
pastor of her church.

An Auditorium Badly Needed

The inability of the Courtroom
TO seat the crowd that greeted
the first number of the lyceum
curse strongly emphasizes the
need of larger auditorium in
Grantsville. Probably a much
larger crowd would have been
present had the people felt that
they could had found comforta-
be seats.
An auditorium could be made
TO pay q good profit. Il could
house the meetings of the lyceum
course; there is little question
but what moving picture show
would pay here if a proper build
ing could be had; political meet
ings and educational gatherings
would patronize such an audjto-
rum; and many desirable enter
tainments would find their way
to Grantsville if a proper place
to hold them were furnished.
If the local lodge of Masons is
thinking of building a new home
no more profitable use could be
made of the first floor than to
have roomy auditorium provid-
ed with good stage and equip
ment. Not only would it be q
profitable investment, but it
would be highminded and pa
triotic bit of work that would re-
feet credit upon that most excel
lent body.

| hope goodly number Of
people will come to the school
fair. And / believe everyone
who comes will be benefited.
Teachers, come, or as many of
you as possibly can, and bring
some of your pupils with you.
All teachers present on Friday
of the fair will be given credit as
though taught.
"A local talent program is be-
ing prepared for Thursday even
ing, November 25th. On Friday
evening Prof. j. A. Ankenny, of
the Glenville Normal School, will
give lantern show free to all.
I have been informed that he
has some splendid slides on hand
and no doubt Mr.. Ankenny will
be able to show us something of
the advancement that is being
made IN the subject Of Agricul-
ture.
So far. eleven schools have re-
ported to me of raising money
for school libraries. Reports
show that in all $138. SO have
been raised for this purpose, and
/ presume quite a bit more has
been raised which has noC been
reported. This is splendid
showing, | think. and it will GER
tainly mean a great deal to the
schools. Let us keep the good
work going until we have de-
cent library in every school in
county.
1t has been reported to me that
some teachers are not reporting
cases of truancy to the truant
officer. Teachers should remem-
Der that it is their duty to do all
they can to keep the children in
school, and that it is not only to
report cases of truancy but il
legal to not do so.
