Governor CornweII Inaugurated.

Hon. John J. Cornwell on Monday last
was inaugurated as Governor OF West
Virginia-the first Democrat to be in
Quoted into this office in twenty years.
Although he had been sworr in on Sum
day, the 4th OF March, Governor Corn
we'll publicly took the oath in The chamber
OF the House OF Delegates, where the in
augura ceremonies were held. The
stormy weather prevented the outdoor
plans from being carried out.
In his inaugural address Governor
Cornwell made plea for the develop
ment OF a more pronounced spirit OF State
unity. He urged complete publicity in
all public matters. He declared his in
tention to appoint bipartisan efficiency
commission TO visitthe various State insti-
tutions and examine into the executive
branches OF the State government in the
interest OF more economic State govern
ment. Governor Cornwell also urged
the residents OF West Virginia 10 lay aside
all partisanship and supportth President
in present international crisis, making
whatever sacrifices that may be demand
ed, no matter how great.
"While our earnest prayers are for
peace" said Governor Cornwell, "yet
when nation drives our commerce from
the seas and sacrifices the lives Of our
people engaged in peaceful and lawful
pursuits that nation has made war on us,
and to submit quietly and tamely for the
sake of peace, for the sake Of ease and
comfort and the continued accumulation
OF wealth, would involve loss OF national
self-respect and friendship OF the other
peoples OF the world. The man who
countenances such surrender to lawess-
ness and barbarism will some day be
called TO account by an indignant people"
Regarding the management OF affairs OF
the State, he said: 1--WE must give more
thought 10 gettino better roads and better
government and less thought TO getting
control OF public offices by hook or crook
and oflegislatlng men in and out OF them"
Governor Cornwell was the only Demo-
crat indicted into office. The six other
State officials elected last November are
all Republicans Secretary of State,
Houston q Young; State Superintendent
OF Schools, Morris p Shawkey; Treas
urer, VIM S Johnson; Auditor. John S.
Darst; Attorney General, E. T. England
Commissioner OF Agriculture, James H.
Stewart.

Do You Have Dizzy Spells?
It's Important to Learn the Cause,
AS Many Shepherdstown People
Have.

Dizziness is never a disease of itself
it's only symptom ofsome deeper seat
ed trouble. Much dizziness is caused by
disordered kidneys falling to filter all the
poisoIS from the blood. These poisons
attack the nerves and dizziness results.
II you are subject 10 dizziness, there is
good reason 10 suspect your kidneys, and
II you suffer with baCkache, headache.
and irregularity of the kidneys, you have
further proof. Many Shepherdstown
people have learned the value OF Doan's
Kidney Pills in just such cases. Read
this ShepherdstoWn residents statement:
Mrs. E. Lowe, Prospect Ave-, Shep-
herdstown, says; "Often my back has
become lame and sore and has ached lin
til could hardly keep up. have Rad
dizzy spells when everything would turn
black before me, and headaches would
almost make me blind. have also SUI
fered great deal with muscular rheuma-
tism. OF all the remedies have tried,
Doan's Kidney Pills have been the only
one that has done me any good. Since
then, when have had any return of the
complaint, box or so OF Doan'S Kidney
Pills, from Hills Pharmacy, has always
quickly cured the attack"
Price SOC, at all dealers. Don't simply
ask for kidney remedy-get Doan's
Kidney Plls-the same that Mrs. Lowe
had. Foster Milburn Co., Props, Buffa-

THE regular session OF Congress ad-
journed last Sunday at noon, the consii-
tuiional limit expiring at that time. A
great deal OF important legislation failed
because of Republican opposition in the
Senate, including several of the large
appropriation bills that are necessary for
the running OF the government The
most disastrous performance OF the Sem
ate, however, was filiouster led by
Senator Lafolleite, OF Wisconsin. Re-
publican leader, and abetted by Senator
Stone, Democrat, OF Missouri. which re-
suited in the defeat of the bill so earnest
ly desired by President Wilson providing
for the arming OF our merchant ships to
protect themselves against German sub
marines and giving him authority TO de-
fend American rights on the high seas.
Although almostthe entire Senate favored
the measure, which had passed the House
by vote OF lO3 to l3, little group OF a
dozen Senators filibustered and with the
aid OF the obsolete Senate rules prevented
the bill from coming to vote. g.
The whole country is indignant al the
unpatriotic performance of these recall
citrants, and there is determined de-
mand that the Senate rules shall be
changed so that the majority may act
when il gets ready, instead OF being con-
trolled by these political trickSterS. Sew
enty six Senators signed statement that
they favored the bill and would vote for
il il they had chance, forty-Six OF the
signers being Democrats and thirty Re-
publicanS. The filibuSter was denounced
as the most reprehensible in the history
OF the American government. President
Wilson issued statement in which he
asks the Senate 10 so revise ITS rules as
to permit majority 10 supply the means
OF action and save the country from dis
aSter." In denouncing the filibuSter the
President says: "A little group OF wilful
men, representing no opinion but their
own, have rendered the great govern
ment OF the United States helpless and
contemplate.
Senator Stone and Senator La Toilette
have knowingly and traitorously played
directly into the hands OF the German
government. LaFollette is seeking the
favor OF the German element il his own
State and al the same time carrying out
the orders OF the brewers OF Milwaukee,
who are lncenSed at President Wilson
for signing temperance measures passed
by Congress. Senator Stone, cheap
politician from Missouri, is the creature
OF the Anheuser- Busch Brewery OF St.
Louis and similar German influence. and
his opposition is inspired also from the
beer watts.
The people ofall the country are aroused
at this most extraordinary spectacle in
the Senate, and if these political lords
fail in their plain duty and refuse to
revise their absurd and obsolete rules
something will happen.

Governor Cornwell will never descend

The special session Of the West Viz
ginia Legislature adjourned last Saturday
night without having accomplished the
principal duty for which it was called,
namely, the passage of the regular ap-
preparation bill. The Senate insisted on
making appropriations for the several
departments OF the State government in a
lump sum, while the House held the
position that the objects for which the
money was TO be paid should be specified.
The House also held that the appropri
atoms should not exceed the revenues, a
condition that the Senate bill ignorei.
The two branches OF the Legislature were
unable TO adjust their differences. SO ad-
journment was made with the work IN
finished. Governor Cornwell will have
o call an extra session later.

The liquor business got two mighty
hard blows last week. The first was
when Co greSs voted TO abolish all liquor
saloons in the District OF Columbia after
the first of next November, and the sec
ond was when President Wilson signed
the Postoffice appropriation bill passed
by Congress containing drastic temper
ance legislation. The provisions referred
TO in this bill prohibit, first, delivery
through the United States mails OF any
publication or correspondence containing
liquor advertising in those States which
by their own laws prohibit such adver-
Using within their borders, Secondly,
but far more important, is a provision
which forbids the shipment OF liquor
from wet territory into any State the laws
OF which prohibit its manufacture or sale.
The measure will prevent the shipment
of liquor even into dry States which allow
small amounts to be received for personal
use.
Fourteen States will be made bone dry
by this legislature, among them being
Virginia and West Virginia. Any per-
son or firm that shall send into a dry
State any newspaper, magazine, circular,
letter. ETC., advertising liquor, or that
shall ship liquor, except for scientific,
sacramento, medicinal or mechanical
purposes. ii dry State, does so at the
risk OF paying 81 900 fine or serving six
months in prison, or both.
This kills the mail-order liquor bust
ness, and the whiSkey dealers who re-
Gently moved from Virginia to Baltimore
with the avowed purpose OF supplying
that State and West Virginia with booze
will be stranded There are one hum
dred whiskey mail-order houses in Balti-
more.
Congress has never before enacted
really drastic prohibition legislation, and
these new laws will be ar-reaching in
their effect. Ii is believed by the tenn
perance people that the decks are now
cleared Tor the fight for national prohioi-
ton, and they will bend every energy to
securing the passage OF the necessary
legislation providing for such an amend
ment 10 the Constitution Of the United
States

LAST Saturday in the closing hours OF
his administration Governor Hatfield
pardoned from the West Virginia Peni-
Tertiary Sixty-five convictS who were
serving sentences for various crimes and
misdemeanors. Included in this number
were no less than twenty-Seven murder
ers, the balance being thieves, highway
robbers, embezzers, bootleggers, men
convicted of arson, criminal outrage,
swindling, pistol totlng and so on. Dur
ing his four years as Governor DR.. Hat
field pardoned from the penitentiary and
from the jails OF the State 400 persons,
inducing IL life term convicts.
II is perhaps uncharitable TO criticise
anyone for exercising the quality OF
mercy, but there are those who say that
the Governor is actuated more by cheap
politics Than by real sympathy. For our
part, we rather think that he has done
more harm than good by turning loose
upon the State at one time twenty-seven
murdererS and more than that number OF
other criminals as bad or worse.
