COMFORTING THOUGHT.

HE Pittsburgh Post which i: mcOmpOmisingly
Democratic in politics. is cheered even in this killing
heat by tho thought that before the next Congress
Of the United States takes up the burdens laid down
by the present opportunities for change in
the personnel of the body will be afforded.
That indeed is heartenng thought. Congress as it is
constituted today full Of seconalism greed, blind parti-
sanshp. parochiasm and just plain Ignorance when il
ought to be filled with pure PATRIOTISM enlightened states
manshp and wide gmpathies.
If The Objectionable qualities are kicked out by the peo-
pie order to make room for the good the Congress
that, the ordinary course of events. would meet for
ganization in November. 1912 will contain more new
men than any Congress in generation
And most Of the Democrats who through seniority and
the peculiar ideas of Leadership which that party holds
are now prominent in the affairs Of the nation will be left
at home If the Democrats in Congress actually were run
ming The government, instead of making matters hard for
those who are running it, right now would not be much
better off than Russia is.
Ofcourse there are some Republicans in Congress about
whom it is impossible to say respectful word, but the
Democrats are in The majority, and in full charge Of every
branch of the government and their; must be The respOn-
siblity.

Last night there was sent out from Charleston mis-
leading report upon the water supplied by the munic
qualities of the state in which it said that but one
city, Buefeld has pure water According to the report
of the tests made in Farmont % per cent indicated
unsafe water while Parkersburg tests showed 81 and
fraction per cent unsafe. Yet neither of these two
cities have there been any typhoid due to the city water
supply Although all organic matter found in water is
not dangerous the state psychologists merely counted

that totally erroneous impression of the quality of the
water that is supplied to West Virginia cities will be

Christmas seals on Nov. "a.
The committee also takes this op
portunity to thank Mrs. G. P. Wilder

scoutmasters and scouts of Honolulu
for the help given on that day.
The amount realized to date is

received in 1914, which up to the
present year was our high water
mark in the sale of Red Cross Christ
