BELL IS GRANTED
A LONG ABSENCE
Agent at Cumberland Relieved Of His
Duties Until January Of Next
Year.

James r. Bell, who for several
years has been the division freight
agent of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad at Cumberland. has been
granted a leave Of absence from Of
fetal duties until January /. 1917,
according to announcement made by
the traffic department, and il was fur.
Their stated that upon the return of
Mr.. Bell to the service he will be
transferred to Baltimore where he
will be on the staff OF the general
freight agent of the eastern lines Mr.
Bells leave becomes effective al
once, in compliance with his person
al request which was prompted on
account of III health Of the railroad
official. Friends of Mr. Bell in rail-
road service as we'll as his business
associates and personal friends in
Cumberland, have known of his i'll
health for some time and II Is believ-
ed that temporary retirement from nc
tive duty Will enable him to entirely
recover after proper amount OF
rest has been secured.
The excellent record which Mr.
Bell has made as a traffic official with
the Baltimore and Ohio is generally
recognized by his superior officers
and has resulted In the arrangement
to advance him in the service BY
transferring him to Baltimore when
he resumes his connection with the
company, in 1917 This is apnarent
from the tribute paid to Mr.. Bell by
A. w. Thompson, vice president OF

IS TT A BENEVOLENT
SCHEME?

II would be Interesting 10 analyze

II would be equally interesting, no
doubt. TO analyze the motives OF the
Republicans who are willing TO lend

What does the Democrat get out OF
1t? That's easy enough. lie gets ex-
actly what he wants and he knows ex-

and he and his Democratic friends get
both the elective ard the hundreds Of
appointive Offices that viii come as a
reward. It's all right from the Demo.
cratic standpoint
But how about the Republican,
What does he get?
If he is capable Of spite work he
has the opportunity to vent his spite.
But that is all. He gets no Office. lie
helps elect a Democratic Governor and
helps to demoralize his own party. SO
as to endanger his county ticket and
all the men ON his ticket from presi-
dent down. Democrats are very gen.
erous in this state They take all but
give nothing. Democrats are not vot-
Ing for Republicans. On the other hand
they are voting against all Republicans
while seeking aid from Republicans for
their gubeInatorial candidate.
What do you think of Democratic
Benevolence? What do you think OF
the estimate this places upon you as q
Republican? DO you believe there are
10000 Republicans IN West Virginia
who will be willing, for no better rea-
son than that the Democrats believe
them capable of spite work, will sup

What was the result?
The cost OF maintaining the Federal
