THE PROHIBITION PARTY.

The National Prohibition party mas
met in convention and gone through
the form of nominating Presidential
ticket which suggests:
Why is there a Prohibition party
The prohibition cause has made
great Roadway in the United States
during the past ten years. but not
through the activity Of the Prohibition
party. State after state has been car
ried for prohition, but no state has
been carried by candidates running as
members of the National Prohibition
party. 1t might be said that the VIC
tories Of prohibition have been won
by members OF other parties and II
spite of the political prohibitionists.
Practically the Prohibition party
has not been a political factor for
twenty years, but it has given a few
worthy gentlemen chance TO get to-
sether and to play at national politics.
AS a source Of harmful amusement 1t
may be useful AS a real influence,
either for prohibition, or in the IA
,ional election, it has long since
ceased TO be considered.

HAPPY HE WHO NEVER HELD"

Oh happy he who never held
In trembling arms a form adored!
Oh happy he who never yet
On wurShipt lips loves kisses poured!
Though worn in weary ways Of thought
Thy lonely soul eat pilgrim bread;
Though smiling beauty in thy path
Her bouquet OF delights should spread
And bare TO thee nor rosy breast
And pour for thee the golden wine
That throngs thy brain with visions
blrst.
Each than the last more inly thine;
lis but the phantom of an hour
That fades bctor: thy waking glance
And not that high ideal of thought
Which forms the bounds of hope and
chance.
Bind not the giant Of the soul,
BY footlcSS vows to wear chain.
Whose narrow letters. pressing close
Its noble growth shall rend in twain
The Infinite that sees US thus,
Mold its tranSccndcnt form In clay
Tramples our idol into dust.
And We atresh must seek and pray.
And thou shalt suffer 10 be free.
But most shall suffer TO hc bound:

THE WORKMEN S COMPEN
SATION BUREAU.
TEE

Here are some impressive figures
foncerning the worth OF one Of the
west and one Of the greatest OF the
ates humanitarian activities, the
orkmen's compensation bureau.
In the ten months ending April Sotn,
1916, the receipts in the bureau were
s1,212,sS7.90.
The administration or operating ex-
pense was $64.465.52 or about 8 per
cent Of the total receipts. No life In
surance or accident company managed
for private profit Is conducted on so
low a margin of administrative ex-
pense. Practically 95 cents out Of
every dollar contributed by employers
to the workmens compensation bu-
reau goes directly and efficiently to
the relief OF suffering and compensa-
ton for injuries; record which
challenges comparison with any like
institution in the United States.
Following are some OF the disburse-
nent items:
Medical expense. Sl7l.St7.67.
Cost OF funerals, s66,o$310.
Compensation for temporary dis
ability injuries. si75.S96.46. y
Pensions paid for permanent in
juries and TO widows and children in
fatal accident cases, s+S77,Si:.7+.
The figures speak eloquently. Who
can estimate the suffering that has
been lighteped the help that has been
given through this timely financial as
Stance? The workmen's compensa'
ton bureau is the greatest human in
sutton in West Virginia. It is doing
more than probably all other public
agencies TO help the needy and 10
lessen affection; yet It is in no sense
a Charity 1t is simply the public's
recognition OF its responsibility for
the welfare OF the working people, a
movement in the progressive develop
ment OF better industrial and social
conditions.

scented better plan that will cost less

MEXICAN DISGRACE
In His Mind and on His Tongue More
Than Any Other Single Problem
With Which Mr.. Wilson Has
Paltered.

Soon after Mr.. Hughes was nomi-
mated friend said to him: Govern
or, if the American people forget the
Mexican disgrace they do not deserve
to have you for President" Quick as
fash he replied: "The candidate
who lodges the Mexican disgrace does
not deserve to be President" He did
not pass around his address of accep-
tance for compliment or criticism in
advance of its delivery but the
amount of space he devoted to the
Mexican disgrace-"that confused
chapter of blunders' rs'-surprsed no
one who had talked with him since
his nomination. 1t has been in his
mind and on his mind more than any
other single problem with which Mr..
Wilson has paltered. To talk with
him is to see at once the reality of
his Indignation over the heartless
manner in which American men, wo-
men and children, American citizens,
soldiers and sailors have been aban-
doned by the Administration along
and across the Rio Grande, the vic
Tins of Mexican armed forces, outfit
ted with American ammunition and
American rifles, MeXicans whom Mr..
Wilson has coddled one day as pa
triots only to chase the next as ban
dts.
1t is apparently the belief of Mr..
Wilson that the people of the United
States are not interested in Mexico.
His defenders have declared that it
was an cold story and out Of date"
Mr. Hughes has a better opinion of
his fellow countrymen He has proved
himself better Judge of their feel
ings. He has made "the Mexican dis
grace" a foremost issue of his cam
paign. He has assailed the record of
the Administration in that respect in
almost every speech he has made. He
has never failed to strike responsive
chord in the hearts of his audience,
whether speaking in Carnegie Hall,
New York, from the platform of his
