WASHINGTON. July 27-The
news of the withdrawal of all con-
tests on his part, couceding the gu
bcrnutorInl nomination to Judge Ira
Il. Robinson. by Attorney General A.
y. Lilly. proved genuine surprise to
the West Virginia politicians In
Washington. II was also hailed as
benson and blessing by those OF
the Republicans party,
Some Of them who had been sup
porters Of Judge Robinson had an
inkllng that a harmonious agreement
was in fair way to he reached, but
those who trained with General Lilly
had not. They claimed, at the very
time the settlement was being made,
that Lilly would prosecute his con-
tests in Mcdowell and Mlngo coun-
ties through the courts. They OK
pressed great surprise when they
heard news to the contrary, but at
the same time they expressed sincere
pleasure that an amioHblG adjustment
of the controversy had been effected.

supporters in tho state accept the
settlement with tho prOmpness and
with the satisfaction which the Lilly
men In Washington have done, the
party ought to be reunited, harmoni-
GUS and In good shape to do battle
with It's common enemy when the
campaign open up in earnest. The
facts pointed out, too. that In his
campaign for the nomination Judge
Robinson had done or said nothing
which would make ii impossible for
any Republican. or any other kind Of
q voter. to support him at the polls
for the governorship.
General Lillys formal statement,
more than anything else. Is proof OF
that. He can and does accept Judge
RObinson's nomination graciously
and pledges his active and earnest
support heartily That being the sit
uation. the members of the party
here declare that no supporter of his
can do less and claim to be loyal
and straight, and broadminded and
patriotic enough to place the general
welfare and success Of the Republican
party above his personal and selfish
concerns. Where there are such
party voters, 1t is expected that Cen
eral Lilly, himself, will energetically
use his influence with them to show
them that they are in the wrong and
straighten out the Bulky-klnks In
their party allegiance. In short,
Cousin Abe is looked to to show them
that there Is true sportmanship in
the political game as In every kind
of game. His statement to the pub
lie rings true with party patriotism

New Market for Cotton Goods.

There is market for S14,000,0O0 worth of
cotton goods annually in the Straits Settlements
and the United States has smaller share of the
trade than any other competitor. For the last
four years our sales in this quarter have amount
ed to only $4,000 annually. In a report entitled
Cotton Goods in the Straits Settlements" just
issued by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce, of the Department of Commerce. it
is asserted that American manufacturers have
either overlooked this market entirely have
failed to appreciate it because there has been
available no first-hand information regarding it..
"The chief obstacle to American trade in cot
ton goods" the report states, "and, matter
of fact, in all lines, is the lack of an American
importing firm in the Straits Settlements. It
would not be true, however, to say that the Brit
ish importing houses, which handle nearly all
the business, are adverse to purchasing Amer-
can merchandise, because many of them are ac-
tually importing considerable quantity of goods
from the United States, and an American travel
er who recently spent some time in Singapore,
made thorough canvass of the market and sue
ceeded in getting some very substantial orders,
asserts that when he could furnish the goods at
competitive prices he could in most cases get the
business"

Ten Commandments for the Housewife.
FIRST-Thou shalt not cause the first quarrel
but if unavoidable, fight it through bravely. To
be victor in the first domestic quarrel may have
tendency to elevate thee in thine husbands
mind for all future.
SECOND-Thou shalt not forget that thou
hast married man, not god. Therefore be not
surprised by his frailtes.
THIRD-Thou shalt not always talk money to
thine husband. Rather try to get along on the
allowance.
FOURTH-If thou considerest thine husband
heartless, remember that, verify, he hath a
stomach. BY persistently appealing to his
stomach with well-cooked meals, thou mayest,
after all, touch his heart.
FIFTH-Once in great while, but not too
often, thou shalt let him have the last word. 1t
tickleth him and wilt not do thee any harm.
SIXTH-Thou shalt read the whole news
paper and magazine, not merely the stories deal
ing with scandal and society. Thine husband
will be pleasantly surprised to find, off and on,

Brave WOMAN
DEFIES VILLA

Ell PASO, Texas, March Ga man
from Chihuahua today told here how
a woman's bravery saved the life of
an Englishman who had incurred the
anger Of Pancho Villa.
Villa went to the school house of
Senorita Maria Alvarez, in a mining
settlement west of Chihuahua and
said:
II want you to send word to that
Englishman that everything is safe out
here, and that you want to see him. "
The Englishman had aided the
teacher and paid the tuition of some
OF her pupils. She replied:
IF you want to see him, send for
him, but l will not lure him here"
Villa, the story goes on, then threat
ened to hang her, had rope placed
about her neck and tortured her.
"You may kill me, but I will not
send for this innocent man. You can
torture my body, but you cannot over
come my WILL" she declared.
For two days Villa tried to make
the woman do as he asked, and then
he rode away. The teacher mounted
burro and rode to Chihuahua.

that he can talk on general topics and even on
politics with his wife.
SEVENTH-Thou shalt not be rude even
when quarreling with thy husband. Forget not
that at one time in thy life thou didst consider
him little short of demigod.
EIGHTH-Thou shalt, from time to time,
allow thine husband to know little more than
myself admitting that thou art not infallible all
through.
NINTH-If thine husband is smart man,
thou shalt be his friend: If he is not thou shalt
be both counsellor and friend to him.
TENTH-Thou shalt esteem thy husbands
relatives, especially his mother. Remember that
she loved him long before thou didst.

BRITISH RED TAPE
BOOSTS COST OF WAR

LONDON, March 6.---Red tape has
not by any means been eliminated
from the new British armies, as this
story told here today proves. An Of
ficer who wanted both bricks for some
purpose or other went out and pur-
chased two pennyworth at shop. He
put the twopence on his expense bill
and it was disalowed.
The same thing happened second
time, and he then inquired the reason.
He was told that nothing must be
bought which could be requisitioned.
Wanting bricks a third time, he put in
a regular army requsition. After con-
siderable delay they arrived-with
about two shillings $50 cents) to pay
on the parcel.
