chief trouble with the United States
is that its politicians take things too

OF historical record that any inter
viewer had pumped that question at
Henry Drury Hatfield. This particular
fellow looked rather surprised that he
heard himself asking it.
The governor was surprised, too.
He Strengthened up in his chair with
a jerk. The interviewer sensed re-.

but once and was gone. The guber'

with smile and one reckless reporter
breathed a relief. There was a pause,
and then:

paper by showing IN this fight, as he
has in others gone by. that he is not
dominated" by any special interest,
but is interested only In the general
welfare Of the people and the state
OF West Virginia.
Referring to the present fight in be-
half OF the people which is being made
by the governor, The Register says:
awe believe that he Is right
In his attitude on this question
and he ought to be supported by
. those who believe in a square

Interests"
The Register believes that the big
corporations In the state should be
compelled to bear their Just share of
taxes and regardless of the position
taken by the nine Democratic mem
bers Of the senate in voting against
every revenue measure presented at
the recent session, this independent
Democratic journal says that the
Democratic senators were wrong and
were swayed by corporation influence.
1T continues as follows: +.
Following the organization OF the
coal operators of West Virginia a
week or two ago, comes the news from
Huntington that individuals represent
ing many millions Of capital were in
that city the first Of the week for the
purpose of organizing a state associa-
ton OF public utilities corporations. 1t
Is apparent that the great corpora
lions of West Virginia are preparing
as never before to resist the imposi-
ton OF what we regard as their fair
share Of taxation. At the recent ses-
sion OF the legislature a bill provid-
Ing for a production tax on coal, gas
and oil passed the house and was
within two votes (alas!) OF getting
through the senate. Never before was
there such a narrow shave for these
big interests, and they are alarmed,
especially in view of the present con-
dition in the state because Of our
empty treasury. We understand that
they will form a powerful organiza-
ton and provide tremendous sum OF
money to influence public opinion. A
publication bureau has already been
started and it is said that speakers
will be sent all over the state to "edu-
cate" the public. .-
These movements Of the corpora
lions call for action on behalf of the
people who have been bearing the
burden OF taxation while the big in
terests escape. The public should be
aroused! Partisan politics should be
put aside and men Of all parties should
unite in fighting for their own pro-
lection and for the entirely fair propo-
sition that special privileges should
bear special taxation. While the
Register has no POLITICAL affinity with
Governor Hatfield. we are ready to lay
aside partisan feeling in this matter
and join him In his efforts to make
these corporations carry their part of
the burden. We believe that he is
right in his attitude on this question.
and he ought to be supported by those
who believe in square deal and who
have gumption enough to know their
own best interests" Charleston Post.

Hot Weather Bad
For WOn7en'S Nerves
Season When They Most
Need Their Strength to
Withstand the Heat

Hot weather has a decidedly weak
ening effect on most women They
become too languid to exercise, and
as a result have appetite only for
light, tasty foods, like salads and
other cold concoctions, which do not
digest readily and increase the nat
ural tendency to constipation.
At this season women should main
tain the highest possible standard of
health, to counteract the enervating
effect of the weather. Good digestion
and regularity of the bowels are es-
sential. The combination of simple
laxative herbs with pepsin, sold in
drug stores under the name Of DIR.
CaldwelFs Syrup Pepsin, is highly
recommended as a laxative and di-
gestant by many physicians, as weH
as by thousands of women who de-
pend upon il as a remedy for many
OF those ills to which women seem
more especially susceptible.
Get a fifty cent bottle Of DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin from your drug
gist and have it in the house. Take
