Thanksgiving Offering For The
HOSpitaI.

The New Hospital was opened last
February and since then there have
cen I6o patients treated there and no
one doubts the good it has done the
community.
SO far as it has been more or less sup
ported by Charles Town and we are
anxious to make it so good that all JEFF
ferson county can point to it with pride
and will take an interest in IT.
Originally the Board p AIMED to sci
stock and run the Hospital as self.
affair. but SO far have been
unable to dispose of all the stock. At
he last meeting of the stockholders DIR.
Venning offered to sign over all his
stock to board of trustees so that, if
all the other stockholders did the same
we would always be sure that hospital
would be maintained here and would be
a nou-iivideud paving concern. Nearly
all the present stockholders havs been
approached and all who have been ask
ed have expressed their Willingness to
sign their stock over TO the trustees, in
fact, quite few have already done so.
ANY doctor in good standing. prac'ic
ing in the county is welcome to use the
hospital at al times.

ist fills these with bright music. The
first feature is a flower prelude. This
is not little single flower trick such
as many magicians offer, but consists
Of over thirtyfive separate and dis

pretty little act, and is used only as an
Introduction to the show proper.

is offered in his new French trick, en-.
titled "The Mystic LIE Chapeau."

The United States supreme

The United States supreme
court has handed down an opin-
ion that the 80 per cent law, pass
ed by the Arizona legislature,
was unconstitutional. Justice
Hughes announced the opinion,
and the basis of the decision rest
ed on the constitutional guaran-
tee of personal liberty to all
aliens, and the proposed law was
an abridgement Of their per-
sonal rights. The opinion of the
Court is sound so far as the law
is concerned, but it is to be
regretted that some restrictions
cannot be enforced, to prevent
the Importation of cheap foreign
labor into this country to compete
with our citizens. The govern
ment attempted to regulate the
matter in congress with the
pauper, contract labor bill, but it
was a very simple matter for the
employers to get around it, and
appreciable results were not ap-
parent. 1t requires no argument
to prove that our intelligent
American laborers cannot subsist
on the meager daily wage of the
pauper labor that is continually
drifting to our shores, unless he
retrogrades to their level, and no
god citizen would ever entertain
such an idea for a moment. The
brain and Drawn of our laboring
men is a pillar of strength to our
modern civilization, and it is
only the greed FIR gold by big
corporations and employers that
encourages the pauper labor
propaganda. There ought to be
some legal method by which
individual states could protect
their citizenship from this unfair
competition, and give force to
the intent of the national pauper
labor bill.

At the breaking out of the

different sums of money SO they

sand or more have failed to repay
the government for it's timely
assistance, and the treasury
department has prepared a list
of delinquents and will proceed
to recover in the courts. Califor-

quents. Most Of CALIFORNIA;
alleged millionaries are a poor
financial risk at any time, except
for breach of promise and aliena-

An effort is being made to raise
sufficient funds to continue the
San Diego fair for another year.
The proper financial assistance
may be obtained, but the final
result will prove failure. Con-
tinuing a fair after it has run it's
advertised limit savors of a graft
that the community want to hang
onto for another season, and the
promoters will find to their
sorrow and financial loss that the
people will not fall for 5he game.
The argument advanced is that
the San Francisco exposition
overshadowed the San Diego fair,
but in fact the attendance at the
latter has been greater during
the year than it would have been

LYCEUM ATTRACTIONS.
For the Season Of 1914-15
Are Announced.
MUSIC AND LECTURES.
Array of Talent Which Is Scheduled to
Appear Here at Intervals Through
out the Winter.

An annual Lyceum entertainment
course is now regarded as practically
indispensable in nearly $4,000 Ameri
can communities, and the number is
increasing with each year.
Some one has truly said that a Ly
ceum attraction, even though it failed
to raise a higher standard in the com
munity, at least never lowered an eX
listing standard or in any way leaves
a deleterious effect. This cannot be
said of many other kinds of amuse
ment and entertainment.
What the winters entertainments

munity is usually looked for at this
time of the year. The course here this
year will be made up of the following
attractions:
