In MemOriam

Mrs. Bessie NJ. Smith, beloved wife
OF DR.. w. A. Smith of Pisgah, w. Va.
died at her home December 7th, 1915.
Mrs. Smith had been in her usual
state OF health until about ten DAYS
before her death when she was sud
denly taken seriously i'll and suffered
untold agony until death released her.
Everything possible was done to
save her life, but it seemed her con-
stitution would not respond to the eff
forts OF the doctors in charge or to
the painstaking efforts Of skilful nurs-
ing.
Mrs. Smith was but twenty-four
years of age and was the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Furman of Pts
gah.
Five years ago she was united In
marriage to William A. Smith. To
this union was born three sons. Mrs.
Smith was a devoted wife and affec-
tionate mother and was loved and re-
spected by all who knew her.
She leaves to mourn her loss her
aged parents. Mr.. and Mrs. Robert
Furman, Mrs. Winfield Smith, DR.. w.
A. Smith and her three infant sons
and three brothers and three sisters.
Edward of Star City, John at home,
Cleve of Kentucky. Mrs Myrtle Bayles
of Pisgah, Mrs. w. o. Jenkins of Hud-
son, and Mrs. Charley Smith of I'm
town. Pa.
The funeral ceremony was ably
conducted in the M. E. church by the
Rev. jeremiah Thomas of Bruceton
The body was laid to rest by Under
taker Cuppett. Beautiful flowers
were in abundance as tributes of the
high esteem in which she was held
by her friends.
DR.. Smith has the most sincere and
heartfelt sympathies of all who know
him in this his hour OF trial and sad
bereavement

THE VITAL ISSUE

Much stress is placed on the claim that
ex-Judge Ira Il. Robinson Is an honorable
man and one whom the politicians can
hot control nor that he cannot be die
tated to by those who know what they
want" to adopt the language OF the late
lamented Senator j. p. Dolliyer. But
has the creature ever risen above the
creator? Can Ira Robinson ignore those
who are alleged to be responsible for his
reeigning from the bench to become a
candidate for governor? Is il reasonable
70 believe that men who have been Sc
Letting candidates and debating legisla-
ton in this state for the past twenty
years are going to place their stamp OF
approval upon any candidate who has
not given them assurance that he is their
friend and subject to their command?
We lay it down as an axiom OF expe-
rience that no man has ever been nomi-
mated and elected by the interests who
has not given his pledge of loyalty and
subserviency TO those who created him.
Will Robinson prove an exception to the
ruler Can the Ethiopian change his skin
or the leopard his spots2 Are not the
very men who are backing the candidacy
of Robinson the very same set of men
who have looted the state for years? Can
1t truthfully be denied that they are not
she same men who are responsible for the
enormous increase in the tax ticket? Who
will dare deny that they are not the men
who are responsible for placing the vir-
ginia debt upon the shoulders of the tax
payers of this state? Here are the ques-
tons that every taxpayer must take home
TO himself and decide in considering the
candidacy Of Ira f. Robinson. Mr.. Rob
inson's personality does not enter into it.
The issue is: Shall the Republican ma
chine be given another lease OF four years
more TO loot the state by the election Of
Robinson &c governor? This is the vital
Issue before the people of West Virginia.

The Journal of this place, trying to
initiate the Wheeling Intelligencer, acted
as Judge and jury in the Fairmont post
Office muddle and rendered decision
without waiting for the evidence. There
are two strong points which they fail to
consider. First, it is not likely that ont
oil fifty-five civil service employees, fifty-
four OF them would be Republicans, unless
some one juggled the papers in the ex-
animation. This points very strongly
that some one connected with the board
might have been a little bit partial. Next,
