Hiner NAV Run For Congress.

take the following:
"Hon. Ben H. Hiner, of FRANKLIN,
Fendleton county, one of the best
known and most popular men in that
section of the state, was q Clarksburg
visitor this week, and while he refused
to make such an announcement it is
accepted by those coming into contact
with him that he will hearken to the
opportunities Of his many friends and
make the race for the democratic
nomination for congress in the second
district.
at it believed that Mr.. liners for
nal announcement viii be forthcon-
ing in a few days. He has been
considering the matter for some time.
He has sounded his political friends
/ in the central part of the state and it
is understood that they have, without
exception, encouraged Mr.. Hiner to
make the race.
| Ben HlneF, as he IS ianilHariy
known, is fuel administrator for PEN
dleton county, position which has
not taxed his energies much as there
| is no coal used in that county, except
I ing at blacksmith shops, and automo-
biles are putting such places out of
the running. In order to participate
actively in the war he has lent himself
to other movements and has been
chairman Of the War Savings Stamps,
Red cross and Third Liberty Bond
drives as well as speaking a great deal
outside the county for other patriotic
doings."

PATRIOTISM

Didn't you thrill with patriotism when you read of the successes won by American soldiers around Chateau Thierry and else where along the Marne?
 Didn't you feel proud of being an Amer ican and of having relatives or friends who might be there on, the front line giving a good account of themselves and their coun- try; and weren't you proud to belong to a nation of such men?
 It may be that the American troops will be pushed back from their present posi- tions; thousands may be captured, but of one thing we all may feel assured: There will be no cowardice, no lack of willing ness to serve their country and humanity in this crisis.
 Germany adopted the course of deriding our war efforts, our fighting men and the effect their induction into the battle line would have. Speakers and writers in the German press have belittled everything American until the average man or woman behind the Hun lines dismissed us with shrug of the shoulders, as being incense quential in the final settlement of the war.
 America, extending her efforts in all directions for the quick fruition of her war program, we'll can afford to smile patiently and dig in just little harder The Huns may have been taught to disregard our fighting qualities and look upon America as a nation of ny-grabbers, caring for nothing except money, but the shock troops upon which the Hun high command de pended so greatly for success, these have learned to respect the Tanks. They have learned that the Germans are as lightly re- garded by their adversaries as they, in turn, have been taught to look upon Americans.
 While the Tanks are not all from Mis- souri, the Missouri attitude of show me- permeates their ranks, and mind what we tell you
 It will take an awful lot of showing" by the Germans to overcome those Yam kee soldiers, who are proving themselves invincible

 It would be difficult to frame fairer law to all parties concerned is the opinion ot representatives of both employees and em- ployers who have examined the amendment and are familiar with it. One of the finest features of the amendment is the elimin- ation of the ambulance-chasing attorney who heretofore has prospered from the mis- fortunes of others This amendment will force him to seek other lines of business.

REAL PROTECTION FOR BOTH
(From Phoenix Gszette)

ftrOm fnOenX GaLeLle)
 At the regular election in November will be offered to the voters of Arizona an op- portunity to vote an amendment to the state constitution which will provide for state liability insurance and for workmen compensation. This Is subject of the very greatest importance and one in which there are but few people living in the state who are not interested.
 Of course the parties most interested are the laboring classes-both skilled and unskilled-and the large employers of labor. But there is hardly business that is not interested, directly or indirectly, and most of the individuals not engaged in dangerous occupations are affected.
 The petitions for the submission of this amendment have been circulated by repre- sentatives of the employer class and of the labor class through agents of the unions after favorable action by the unions. The amendment, which provides stipulated compensation for injuries incurred during employment, takes away none of the rights of civil action now enjoyed by anyone The provisions of the amendment are purely elective and a person injured while at work may accept compensation as provided in this amendment or may elect 10 bring a civil action under the existing laws.

Stars and Stripes: The temporary adop- ton of French war orphans and the chil- dren of war-mained soldiers under the Stars and Stripes plan received a fine im- petus last week when an infantry regiment which we are fortunate in being able to designate more specifically as an Ohio regiment took fifty-four mascots.
 The regiment made campaign for francs which was directed by the chaplain and two buck privates and forwarded cigar box full of more or less tattered paper money. It was a generous offering. But the money was gathered just after payday. and we are assured that its collection didn' t impoverish any of the 3600 men concerned Yet it will provide comfort and education for year for fifty-four children at critical period in their lives and appreciably lessen the difficulties of many widowed mothers and little brothers and sisters
 The memory of this Ohio regiment will be cherished long in France
