THERE'S no bitterness as the result OF
the Democratic contest for the nomination
for Governor OF West Virginia. On the
contrary, both of the losing candidates
have come Out with manly expressions
showing their intention TO give hearty
support to the successful candidate and
the entire ticket. Senator ID. +. French
writes us from Blueiield, as follows:
wish to thank you for the courlesies
shown me in the primary campaign. and

space in your columns to express my
gratitude TO my friends Tor their loyal sup

lowing statement, given out at Charles

Though defeated for nomination IN the
recent primary election, am IN nowiSe

announced that il was my purpose TO eau

OF the State to certain acts OF the present
administration done to their detriment,
viz: the profigate expenditure OF inc
States revenues and the construction OF
a powerful political machine. Challenged

Kidney disease is too dangerous to
neglect. AT the first sign of backache,
headache, dizziness or urinary disorders,
you should give the weakened kidneys
prompt attention. Eat little meat, take
things easier and use reliable kidney
tonic. There's no other kidney medi-
cine so well recommended as Doan's
Kidney Pills. Shepherdstown people
rely on them. Here's one of the many
statements from Shepherdstown people.
J. F. Wilmington, blacksmith, Charles

THE latest news concerning the contest
between Judge Robinson and General
Lilly for the Republican nomination for
Governor indicates that Judge Robinson
has majority OF between 400 and 500
over his opponent. General Lilly and
his friends do not admit this, however,
and seem TO be prepared TO contest the
matter to the bitter end.
Whoever may finally be adjudged the
winner in this unseemly political mix-up,
it is quite plain that he wilrepresent only
faction of his party and will be the tar
get OF continuous opposition and obstruc-
ton on the part OF the other faction.
Which leads us 10 point out that The
one sensible and logical thing for the peo-
pie of this State TO do is TO elect John J..
Cornwell Governor. In this high office
he would not only be backed up by every
element OF the Democratic party, but his
ability and integrity and courage would
secure for him the respect ofall fair-mind-
ed Republicans also.
West Virginia has had enough OF fac
tional politics in high places. Let us put
a good, big, clean, broad-minded man.

THE people of the country generally
will endorse the action OF President Will
son in calling out the State national guards
to reinforce the regular army in Mexico,
for il looks as if forbearance has ceased
10 be virtue, so far as Mexico is con-
cerned.
And yet, the United States is big enough
and great enough to bear itself toward
Mexico as a grown man might regard a
peevish, unamiable child. II Mexico de-
mands that our soldiers get out of her
territory, why not get out ? All the world
must know that we are not afraid OF the
Greasers, and Uncle Sam could afford TO
make this concession and content himself
with protecting our citizens on our own
side OF the border after giving opportunity
to those OIL Mexican soil 10 get safely
away.
II is our frank opinion that The ignorant,
contumacious Mexicans are not worth
bothering about-we are not justified in
spilling one drop OF American blood in
fighting such a contemplate enemy. Let
us withdraw and leave them to them
selves.

1T looks as if the United States will be
forced into war with Mexico. 1t has
been apparent for some time that the de
facto government OF Mexico has not only
failed to aid the United States punitive
expedition in that country in its attempt
to capture the Villa bandits and murderers,
but has actually INSTRUCTED our efforts in
this direction and has aided these out
laws. General Carranza has been insist
ing that our troops shall be Withdrawn
from Mexico. and has recently been
growing holder in his threats against our
government. He recently sent COM
munication to President Wilson demand
ing the immediate withdrawal OF our SOL
diers, declaring that if they made move
ment in any direction except toward home
it would be regarded as a hostile act.
To This demand President Wilson has
made sharp reply, refusing TO withdraw
our troops until the brigands and outlaws
who have committed outrageS against
Americans shall have been caught and
punished. AT the same time he hasrrlade
preparation for hostilities. Practically
all OF the regular army OF the United
States is now in Mexico or on the border,
and in addition The President has called
out the National Guards of the several
States to the number OF about 100000
men, who are now being modified for
immediate service. AT the first overt act
on the part OF the Mexicans the American
army will invade that country. Mexican
troops have been assembled, il is believed
with view 10 striking at the American
soldiers in that country, and though no
fighting has yet occurred, nor has war
been declared, it is feared that hostilities
may begin at any time.

SOME one calls attention to the fact that
former Governor A. B. White didn't
make success of his old-time policy OF
strenuous condemnation of the President
ard the Democratic party in the recent
primary campaign-he was third in the
race. On the other hand, Howard Suther-
land, who was broad enough to vote for
a number of the measures in Congress
urged by President Wilson, was not only
endorsed by his own party TO the extent
OF giving him the senatorial nomination,
but he has retained the regard and respect
OF The Democrats.
The old brand OF partisan bitterness is
not as popular as il used TO be, and ii is
a wise man who recognizes this fact.

II should be regarded as fatal draw
back to Justice Hughes nomination that
he is a Justice OF the Supreme Court, a
court which must be kept forever inviolate
from without or from within. Its SpotleSS
ermiue should never be smirched in the
muddy turmoil OF politics.
The above quotation is from Hon.
Joseph H. Choate, Republican lawyer
OF the highest professional and social
rark, and he spoke these words on April
10Th last when Justice Hughes was being
considered as candidate for the PreSi-
dcacy. We should not 60 so far as 10
say that the supposedto-be spotless
ermine has been smirched, but il does
look as if Justice Hughes was deep in
politics before he got off the bench.
