kINowooo. JANUARY -

Since the first of the year many
Democrats have been casting around
for q candidate for governor. 1t is
generally conceded that the candidate
should come from the northern end
OF the State. The people are clamor-
ipg for a change OF administration.
They want to see new faces at the
State House. and they believe that the
unrest way to get them is to elect a
pemocratic governor. The party has
many good men to choose from. There
Is VIII McConaughey OF Parkersburg,
Sam Woods OF Philippi. John Davis
OF Clarksburg, Cap. Hatfield or Tom
Hodges OF Morgantown, and Wylie
Beahi OF the northern Panhandle, all
good and capable men. Nicely. Brown
and Littlepage have been favorably
!. swplen Of but they are all needed in
4 Congress and should stay where they
pre-. The party has many other men
past as well fitted as those named
ut let US turn our eyes TO the East.
hat Ia the matter with John Corn
III The gallant race he made as
standard bearer in 1904 is fresh
Rur minds. From every platform
sugh the entire State he denounced
the iniquitieS Of the Dawson tax laws
He laid bare their injustice, pointed
out the "nigger in the woodpile" and
prophesied what has come to pass
Taxation will be one of the paramount
issues in the next campaign and why
Is he not the right man to return tc
the people and offer a remedy for the
calamities he SO truthfully foretold
His friends look upon him as one
among our most available candidates

The strike at Youngstown, Ohio, has
been a great setback to organized
labor. The unions are not responsible
tor these acts OF lawlessness although
they are committed in their name.
East Youngstown Is a city OF ten thou
sand inhabitants but there are less
than four hundred legal voters. The
great majority of inhabitants are for
eigners. They are ignorant of the
blessings Of our free institutions and
construe liberty into license. The ig-
norant and vicious immigrant should
be kept out-and those admitted into
this country should not be permitted
to become members OF organized labor
until they become law abiding citizens.
The mind Of every good man revolts
at the murder, burning and pillage
engaged in. and many who do not un-
'derstand conditions there Will charge
II to organized labor. Those who did
the actual killing, looting and burn
Ing at Youngstown should be melted
out their punishment. but the walk
ing delegates who induced these ig-
norant foreigners to riot should not be
permitted to go unpublished for they
are truly the guilty.

In order to do this 80 per cent of the

HOW MOUNTAINS ARE FORMED
Earth crumpIes Up and Makes Great
Hills Where Plains Once
Lay.

In the region now occupied by the
Wasatch mountains number of par
allel faults were developed close to-
gether and the broken pieces Of the
earth's crust between them We're
pushed up, the rocks on one side of
each crack riding up over those on
the other side until great mountain
range was formed where once lay a
plain. During the long period Of slow
earth movement which made these
mountains, flat-lying parallel beds Of
rock were locally turned on edge,
crumpled up and folded In wonder
fully intricate manner. These up
turned and crumpled rocks are well ex-
posed in Ogden canyon. The west face
of the Wasatch range is believed to
mark plain Of normal fault at
nearly vertical crack In the earths
crust. the rocks on the east side OF
which went down. The forces which
have raised these mountains are still
active, for movement along this fault

LABOR CONDEMNS SALOON.

"The time has come In this country
when even men who take an occasion

privilege to do so, If they please,
are coming to agree that 1t Is not
right for man to make 1t his bust
ness to cultivate the vices of COM
munity, and to take from men money
that belongs to their families, giving
them In exchange liquid madness, bru-
tality, insanity and damnation." =
These words were spoken by Rev.
William B. Willard In an address at
a remarkable labor meeting held In
Garrick theater, Chicago. 1.-THE labor
union, like the church." continued MIR.
Willard, SHOULD regard the open sa-
loon as its greatest enemy. The time
has come, nay Is so near, that the rosy
radiance of the glorious dawn already
greets our eyes, when the saloon will
be abolished and the barkeeper out
lawed, so that man may no longer
be waylaid on payday and sent home
to his broken-hearted wife and terri
fed little ones raging, loathsome
penniless beast"
Tremendous applause greeted these
sentiments. The theater was packed
to utmost capacity with representa-
tives of union labor.

er Bureau issues a summary of
weather conditions in Tennessee dur
ing the past week:
The week was generally favorable
for the growth and maturing Of crops.

generally sufficient except in some
western counties.
Tobacco and peanuts are very prom

rain is beginning to be needed.
Early corn is filing out well, as a
rule, but rain would be beneficial in
western counties.
Cotton generally Is growing and
fruiting well.
The Irish potato crop is generally
good. Digging is in full progress. Con-
siderable rotting in the ground is re-
ported. Sweet potatoes are doing
we'll.

peaches are scarce.
