In another column OF the Register may
be found a statement OF the National
Conference Committee of the Railways
in regard to the proposed strike OF rail-
road conductors, engineers, firemen and
brakemen. The situation, briefly, is this:
The classes OF employees above named
demand an increase of wages that will
add a burden of about 500. 000, 900 year
TO the railroads; the railroads have pa
tiently tried TO prove TO the men that this
is an unreasonable demand that they can
moi agree 10, and have formally proposed
to them that the differences be adjusted
by arbitration as provided by federal law
or by submission to the Interstate Com
merce Commission. The leaders OF the
trainmen refuse both propositions and
have ordered strike vote, which is now
being taken.
The railroads are fair and reasonable in
their offers for arbitration. The employ
ees are unreasonable, not to say unfair,
in their flat rejection of this method OF
adjusting difficulties. II there shall bela
great strike thee will be small sympathy
with the employees, who are already vast
ly better off than the great majority OF
working men.

this life one year ago, July 2, 1915.
Farewell. dear father thou has left US,
The voice we loved is still.
The place made vacant in our home
Can neYermore be filled.
Oh, father. thy gentle voice is hushed.
Thy warm. true heart is STILL
And on thy pale and peaceful face
Is resting deaths cold chill.
Thy hands are clasped upon thy breast.
We've kissed thy marble brow,
And in our aching heart we know
We have no father now.
We miss thy kind and willing hand,
Thy fond and earnest care,
Our home is dark without thee,
We miss thee everywhere.
Farewell. dear father. thou hast left us,
Peaceful be thy silent rest,
Slrmber sweetly. for God knows
When TO call thee home 10 rest.
How can we give you I'D. dear father.
But God thought il best;
We miss you from our home, dear father.
Yet we know thou art at rest.
Farewell. dear father. farewell.
We must say our last farewell.
Till we meet beyond the river,
Happy there with thee TO dwell.

THE Democratic State Executive Com
mite organized in Parkersburg last Thurs
day by selecting c. c. Lewis, of Charles
ton, as chairman. II is generally agreed
that in naming Mr.. Lewis as its head the
committee has acted with superlative
wisdom. He is wealthy and capable
business man who has genius for or
ganizing, and under his able management
it is expected that the party will present
a united front that will enable it to regain
much OF the ground il lost in this State
because of the amateurish efforts and in
capacity of the party leaders in 1912.
The headquarters of the committee will
be in Parkersburg.
The committee named former Senator
Clarence w. Watson to be member of
the National Democratic Committee to
succeed Col. John T. McGrsw, who has
held this honor for a number OF years.
Colonel McGraw made no especial effort
TO retain the place. The committee felt
that the influence and active interest OF
Mr.. Watson would be a great factor in
the success of both the State and national
ticket, and when the vote was announced
Colonel McGraw gracefully acquiesced.
The committeeman who attended the
meeting in Parkersburg and other Demo-
cratic leaders who were present ex-
pressed geaat. confidence in the prospect
OF Carrying the State next November. II
is believed that Wilson will win for Presi-
dent, as Hughes is regarded as particular
ly weak with the labor element in West
Virginia. II is taken as foregone con-
clusion that Cornwell will be elected
Governor, no matter whether il is Robin
son or Lilly who will be his opponent.

THE SAME CAR FOR
LESS MONEY

Nothing like it has ever been
offered for the money.
Just consider, complete electro
cal equipment for starting and
lighting; speedometer; demount-
able rims; one-man top; rain
vision windshield ;-and every
other device for the comfort and
convenience of the owner.
Every thing that the expensive
cars have. And good looks, COM
fort and economy of operation
that some of the others haven't.
There has been a nationwide
demand for Maxwell cars at the
former price; there will be an over
whelrning demand for these cars
at the new price of $685..
And this proves that the Amer
lean public has admitted and
verified our unqualified claim
that the
Maxwell Motor Car IS the
Big, Outstanding Motor Car
Value in the Country Today.

THE war with Mexico seems to be over
before il has begun. Carranza, head OF
the Mexican government, has made sat-
isfactory response TO all the demands OF
the United States and has shown every
desire for friendly relations, so President
Wilson will meet him half way and avert
hostilities. Many thousands of our
National Guards IRE along the border by
this time, and they will probably be kept
there for some months in an effort TO
effectually put an end TO the raids OF Mexl-
can bandits. Carranza has pledged him
self 10 the same work.
All sensible people will rejoice that war
has been avoided, even though il be with
such a contemplate enemy as Mexico,
and President Wilson has again demon
strated that he is really great man.

For Little Folks
FRANK AND THE SMUDGIEs.

| Frank disliked to have his face and
hands bathed, and he did not stand
| still for his mother to brush his hair;
| he never wanted his mothed TO use the
soft stick that drove away the black
look and left them nice and white.
One night when his mother was Civ
ing him a bath he was crying and

and she hurt his fingers ana she pulled
his hair
Some day the Smudgies will get

SUGGESTIONS TO
SICK WOMEN
How Many Are Restored To
Health.

First Almost every operation ir
our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect of
such symptoms as backache, irregular
and painful periods, displacements, pain
in the side, burning sensation in the
stomach, bearing down pains, nervous
ness, dizziness and sleeplessness.
Second.-Themedicine most success,
full in relieving female ills is Lydia E..
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It
regulates and strengthens the organism:
it oyercomes disease.
For forty years it has been making
women strong and well, relieving back
ache, nervousness, liberation and in
flalnraatiQn, weakness, displacements,
irreguiarity and periodic pains. 1t
has also proved invaluable in prepar-
ing for childbirth and the Change of
Life.
Third. The great number of unso-
licited testimonials on file at the Pink
ham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass, many
OF which are from time TO time published
by permission, are proof of the value of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, in the treatment of female ills.
Fourth. Every ailing woman in the
United States is cordially invited to
write to the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine

special advice. tits free, viii bring Won
