Carlyle Declined the Honor.

Among the many distinguished men who have refused honors was Thomas Carlyle DisraeIi offered him in the queens name tue Grand Cross of the Bath, a distinction" writes Froude, never before conferred upon any Eng, lish author, with q life income core spending to such rauk." Carlyle de clined the honor, but be was deeply touched by the compliment, the more so as he had frequently attacked Dis raeli in his writings. Most readers will probably agree with the verdict of the Chelsea bus conductor who said to Froude: "Yery proper of the queen to offer 1t and more proper of him to say that he would have nothing to do with 1t. 'Tisn't they who can do honor to the likes of he."-London Standard.

Lieut-GOV. Handy
With His Fists

According to the following ar
ticle taken from the Standpoint
News, Herman H. Taylor, lieuten-
ant governor, and a candidate for
the republican nomination for
governor, among his other ac-
omplishments, is something of a
fighter. The story follows:
Lieutenant Governor Taylor
met County Chairman Williams
about six o'clock, or about an
hour and a half before Standpoint
is wont to begin its evening de-
votions, and Taylor charged Will
Jams with circulating reports re-
garding Taylor's sitting in a game
OF poker and winning and another
man losing. Williams denied
circulating the story but intimat-
ed that he knew whence it came.
The lie passed and other words
uglier if not shorter were also
tossed aboue with reckless aban-
don, it is said, if the Sabbath
Guietness. Anyway, the mixing
and mitigating followed close up
on this and it became a combined
boxing and wrestling affair and
both went to the mat, but neither
took the count.
Perry Wilson, a nuetral, got
them Strengthened out and when
he released Williams, and when
the latter Invested himself of his
mackinaw, the second round be-
gan. A feature of this round, ii
is stated, was that Williams
grabbed a small childs sled and
brought it down on Taylor's head.
The sled got the worst of it, ac-
cOrding to information.
Taylor says he struck the first
blow in self-defense, in the belief
that he was about to be attacked
and says that he acted throughout
entirely in self-defense. Will
Jams, on the other hand, feels ag-
grieved at the lieutenant govern
or's evident distrust of his inten-
tons and feels that, morally
speaking, he is still the injured
party.
The News reporter did not TAX,
stock Of the bruises or abrasiOns
but there was a black eye or two
and one or two slight cuts, thu
visual evidence giving the lieu
tenant governor a decision OF
points.

mics d RepubH can candidates Or DE Presidency
and Republican candidates for Congress. John u
iCornwell in his newspaper, the Hampshire Review,
has been the inveterate enemy Of Republicanism
as exemplifed by Abraham Lincoln. He has oppos-
ed Mckinley, Roosevelt and Taft, and is opposing
Hughes. He is the enemy Of that great National
Republicanism which derives its strength and its
very existence from the States and their small SUBJ
divisions He has opposed every Republican can
didate for Congress and every Republican candi-
date for State Senator and House of Delegates.
Republcanism, in its National sense, cannot con-
tnue to triumph IL Republicans in their state poll
tics elevate the party's enemies to power and de-
stroy the men who make the party.
Why not, then, Republican voters-consider the
Republican partyi You can be either loyal or dis
loyal. But you cannot betray the head of your
State ticket without betraying your obligation to
the Republican party in the nation. When the
States fail to maintain effective and aggressive
party organization the party in the nation will be-
come helpless.
Ii West Republicans permit the election of a
Democratic Governor and Democratic Legislature
this year it will be twenty years before the Repub-
hcans will elect another Congressman or deliver
another electoral vote to Republican Presidential
Candidate.

THE FLAG AT THE POLLS.

\ CCORDING to dispatch which was sent out
~. from Huntington one night this week, Miss
Sadie d. Chapman, president of the Woman s
American flag at every election recinct in the
state. She says, ION November every American
citizen should east vote under the stars and
stripes the flag that protects our rights regardless
of politics.
The sentiment is noble one and it does much
credit to the heart and mind of Miss Chapman but
we feel sure that many people will share our opin-
ion that the movement she advocates is somewhat
premature at this time. Not until elections are
more generally honest and expressive of the actual
will Of the people; not until election officers as
class have better understanding of what the flag
actually represents do we want it to be regular
feature at the polls.
If Miss Chapman wants to start movement that
is really worth while, she should try her woman s
wit upon the very old problem of making the cleo
tons worthy of the flag.
