nominating Hon. Davis Elkins was a
literary gem.
Judge Reese Blizzard of Parkers-
burg. was a very prominent factor in
the convention. This is the first state
convention in which Judge Blizzard
has taken an active part since the IA
nous Wheeling Convention of 1901. In
that convention Judge Blizzard led the
Teter forces, and went down TO defeat.
In the convention Thursday, the Judge
was more happily situated. and struck
a responsive chord every time he rose
To his feet. He made the nominating
speech for Governor Hatfield. and
aroused the Hatfield following in the
Convention To great enthusiasm. He
also offered the resolution endorsing
IN the most emphatic terms, the state
administrati ion. which carried with
equal enthusiasm. and finally he Of
fcrrd the resolution endorsing Hon.
Virgil Highland for National Commit
teeman. which was also promptly
passed. Judge Blizzard is one OF the
most forceful characters in West Vir-
cinia. He is always in deadly earnest
about any work he undertakes, and
generally brings results.
II is perhaps not generally known
that the candidacy Of Governor Hat
field for Delegate at Large was TO a
great extent against the personal
wishes of the Governor. In fact. the
enthusiasm OF his friends and adher-
ents practically forced him into the
field. coupled as il was with the boasts
made by members Of the opposition
that they would be able to prevent his

and a very fine coach ESQ has Lake

Although we suffered a glorious de.
feat at Plant City's hands, in several

It was good to see the town people
come out so well at the last game;
it inspired the boys, for it takes double
the amount of grit to take a licking

We expect huge crowd this time
for we actually have hopes of beating

At The Baptist
Church Sunday

The sermon of the morning was
one of the win One Campaign
messages, the subject "A Father
Winning His Son." based on the
Ihealing of the nobleman's son, when
results in the salvation of his whole
household. Introductory thoughts:
The father and mother are primarily
responsible for the salvation OF their
children and for their growth in
grace. The wife is more RESPONSE
Ible than all others for the salvation
of her husband. The great issue of
life is the salvation of our children.
Jesus is all powerful and will give to
those who supplicate Him the bless
ings they need in their homes.
In the nobleman's appeal there was
real earnestness, beseeching Jesus to
come ere his son die.
Today is the accepted time
Jesus the remedy for sin in the lives
of our children. The nobleman had
great faith and confidence in Jesus.
He not only besought, but fingered
with Jesus until the answer was his.
We need to linger in the presence OF
Jesus The nobleman's faith in
Jesus resulted in the salvation Of his
whole household We as parents
should crave the personal privilege
of leading the souls God has entrust-
ed into our keeping back to the feet
of the Saviour. Our hearts must be
broken over their condition, taking
them on the wings of prayer to the
heavenly throne; there to supplicate
the Father in their behalf. That
Jesus should come in to their lives
as Pilot and guide them Ger life's
tempestuous seas.

evening hour was Sayings of the

was the crucifixion, yet around the
cross on Calvarys brow cling the
memories Of Christians-this sacri-
fetal death was Gods answer for sin
there the atonement was made be-
tween God and man. Looking down
on the mob Jesus utters his first say
ing, Father, forgive them, for they
know not what they do"

thieves Jesus says, This day thou

1t is entirely consistent that Re-
publican newspapers should support
boiling Democrat, and also that
they should urge Democrats to vote
for Republican for local Office
because in these local offices it
doesn't matter what a mans politics
is" Well, it matters this much
whether a man regards his word as
worth anything or not. Every man
who went into the Democratic pri-
mary last June unfairly assumed
an obligation to support every nomi
nee of that primary from the highest
office to the lowest. The Republicans
may put out just as worthy man
for minir Office, a man who is
good citizen, good friend, and
good neighbor-but that is not the
point. You are in honor bound to
support the nominee of the Demo
cratic party, if you participated in
the Democratic primary.

THE DAVIS LAW
A. B. LOWELL.

When the Davis law was passed by
the Legislature it was frankly stated
by the prohibitionists that the object
was to close up as many saloons as
possible. They contended that under
the new law the saloon would have a
hard time taking in enough cash to
meet expenses and that few saloons
would show a profit. The opponents
Of the bill contended that drunken
ness would increase with the liquor
sold only in bottles of not less than
half a pint.
In st. Petersburg two liquor stores
have just closed because there was
not business enough to go around
among three such establishments.
This shows that in st. Petersburg, at
least, the Davis law has accomplished
its purpose. 1t has put four saloons
out of business in this city. There
used to be five saloons in st. Peters,
burg. There were three saloons for
white persons and two saloons for
negroes. Now there is only one
package house. The Davis law is
held directly responsible.
The Davis law seems to have been
There has not been an
increase in drunkenness. In st. Pc
tersburg the opposite is the case.
There have been fewer arrests for
since the Davis law
went into effect. And the number
Of places where liquor can be bought
has been greatly reduced, showing
that the demand for liquor has fallen
off. The saloons have closed volun-
tarily because they have not been
profitable. There has been no inter-
ference with anybody's right to buy
Eli the liquor he wanted. But the
people have not been buying liquor
and the saloon owners have quit.
st. Petersburg has never been
good saloon town. There has always
been little drinking here. The bust
ness men, young or old, stay away
rom the saloons. They never pat.
'onized the liquor places whether the
liquor was sold by the drink or by
he bottle. The men who did pat
'onize the saloon were prompted by
more than by desire for
liquor, and this is clearly shown by
he falling off in business since the |
ale by the drink was stopped.
st. Petersburg has good reason to
'e proud Of the fact that it now has i
