Governor Hatfield has done for the
Welfare of people in distress 1t is
remembered how nobly and effectu-
ally he camo to the rescue Of Ohio
river food sufferers few years ago,
going then to various flood regions
and personally directing relief work.
1t is truly said Of him, and all must
admit it however much he may fail
In other things. if indeed he fails,
that no man has a bigger and truer
heart or is more sympathetic
AS Governor Hatfield states Sum
mers publicly admitted sometime ago
that he had along with prominent
members of the Democratic party in
this state wilrully lied on him. Lying
on the governor seems to have been
the Democratic stock in trade ever
since, and thus far this campaign
hy-blowing" the governor appears to
the Democratic press to be its best
campaign weapon. This last lie,
however certainly is put to sleep by
the governors statement. If it
ever wakes up it will be to haunt its
originator and dissemlnators.

posurc Of the contemplate tactics the
Democratic Organization and press Of
this state are resortinE to in their
desperation to prejudice the public

The governor clearly and conync-

words in his denunciutiOn OF the Ii
belous Misrepresentation the Demo-
cratic writer makes and which are
so eagerly published by the Demo

1t is recalled that Governor Hat
field acted quickly when the great
disaster bcfoIl the thousands who
reside in the zone visited by the most
destructive food known in West
Virginia history and the people sang
his praises Justly He himself points
out now that he tramped distance

he might be best enabled to render

Allies dared TO attack But when the
assault was launched the German faith
suddenly broke Their conveys started
to retreat by IN, Fregicourt and Nor

But the Allied guns had not ceased
firing. They merely heightened their
range and established bsrragc be-

remained until she had assured herself
of their return.
Then. slipping down the stairs 70
the ninth floor, the woman went 70
their suite, obtained admttance on
some pretext, and fired before Gra-
veur could make move to restrain
her.
The first shot struck Mr.. Graveur IN

The third ploughed through Mrs. La
dour's brain.
It was probably half an hour after
the shooting before the hotel guests
learned of the tragedy. The manage
mcnt gave orders to the orchestra IN
the roof garden to keep on playing,
and dancers whirled over the floor
while police and detectives sought TO
learn the cause of the tragedy on the
floor below.
J. c. Graveur. owner OF garage al

West 1lSth Street. was formerly chief
probation officer of the Court OF Special
Sessions. He was appointed in 1901 and
was removed in April, 1911. The cause

On June 16, 1914. Graveur was arrest

Paris, Sept 26.-The effect the fall OF
Comblcs will have on Hindenburg'
prestige is causing some speculation
here. For the failure TO withdraw the
troops and the guns concentrated there
are due chiefly to the obstinacy Of the
new Chief of staff.
Practically all the supplies the Ger
mans had accumulated at Combles re-
mained there when the town fell. Dur
ing the three days of preparatory bonn
bardmcnt- which. according to the of
fetal German statements. was the most
demorslizing yet known--and while the
Germans still held Fregieourt and Nor
val, with the two roads leading into
Combles, no attempt was made 70 sa-e
either the men or material in the
fortress.
