attended the Ware reunion at Trinity
Chapel. The day was beautiful and

1000 people were present. Services
began at 1000 by singing Due to
the absence Of the pastor, Rev. Barn
house, Rev w. g. Ware, of Salem,
led the devotional service. Rev. p
$ NXline Offering prayer Rev. w.
G. Ware also preached an excellent
SERMON at 1880, after which the roll
was called Of the Ware descendants,
froin James r. and Dorothy Ware,
deceased, by L w. Edmond, About
600 names were called, some Of them
being dead At the noon hour dim
ner was served free on the grounds
Everybody seemingly ate hearty
leaving a supply for the donors to
earsy home with them At 1:45 the
great crowd again was called toget-
her again by the beautiful singing Of
the choir, composed mainly Of the
Ware generations. S. L. Day,
leader. Miss Ella Ware, organist
T. W. Edmond spoke on the sub
iect: The Roll Call, Mrs. Winnie
Exline recited an original poem very
suitable for the occasion, copy of
which is printed in this paper.
Misses Ella Ware and Ina Ware also
recited. Fine addresses were deliver
ed by Atty. J b. Ware, James Har-
ris and Rev p S. Exline ResoIu-
tions by Rev. w. G. Ware were
adopted and the same committee,
namely George Rinehart, Enoch
Ware, S. l.. Day and E.. w. Ed
mond Sec were elected to plan for
Ware reunion in 1920. The singing
of old and new songs were grand
Grandfathers and grandmothers in
the seventies and eighties joined in
the singing. We clasped the hands
of relatives long parted with JOY I'M
utterable We met those we had
never met before with happy greet
ings. As the large congregation
joined in singing, Eyes, Wen Meet
Beyond the River" many wept for
joy. The spirit of God was man
Tested throughout the day His
presence was felt in the hearts Of the
people and the light of God beamed
forth from the countenance Of those
who had his spirit within. We pray
that God in his great mercy viii not
call any Of this great generation
away from earth before we meet
again in 1920, but best of all when
the roll is called up yonder, we trust
that not one Of them viii be missing
That viii be greater reunion than
any here on earth We shall part no
more for it will last forever

ARTICLE K OF THE LEAGUE

Much is being said about Article
X of the SHUTS Wilson League to
promote war. This much discussed
article | believe is "fathered" by
"our (?) own" Woodrow Here is
what it says in part---"The members
of the League undertake to respect
and preserve as against external ag-
grssion the territorial integrity and
existing political independence of all
members of the League etc. What
does this mean? 1t means that we
guarantee and underwrite with the
blood of American boys political
boundaries of every little one-horse
ration. It means that the League
members are to have power to de-
clare and make war, thus depriving
congress of its constitutional right
and power 1t means that American
boys will be taken to any part of the
world. 1t means one continual war
to the end of time 1t means that
multiplied thousands Of boys and per-
haps girls for that is what equal suf-
frage means will sleep beneath for
eign soil
1t means that European nations
will control the United States. 1t
means the abject and complete sur
render of cur sovereignty to Europe.
It means that England expects to
gain thru our ignorance, what she
failed to secure by the sword in 1776.
Let me say to you Mr.. Leaguist
that whenever you are able to create
by law, that era Of cool feeling among
the members of the animal kingdom,
that the mouse can with safety, pull
the pusst cats whiskers and the
little child may play with the bust
ness end of a bee without getting
stung, your League will work O. K.
but then you won't need the damned
thing.
Examine this matter carefully and
think it over seriously.
Support your senators in their
fight for American liberty.
Write them letters of encourage
ment. Sutherland and Elkins are
both "red-blood" Americans They
are of the immortal "39"
Yours for the u S. A.

REPUBLICAN, VICTORY
IN WEST VIRGINIA

w Il Baker, chairman Of the Re-
publican state committee, was in the
city yesterday for a short time on
business and incidentally seeing
number of his friends To an In
telligencer reporter who called on
him, Mr., Baker said:
"While this is an off year we are
still paying some attention to poll
tics and / am glad to note that the
Republican organization all over
West Virginia is being kept intact,
and in pretty good shape. 1t has
been our desire to keep in touch
with all party workers, with litera-
ture and general information as may
be of interest, and so far as possible
this program has been carried out.
We are hearing good reports from
all over the state pretty regularly,
and | believe the Republican party
in West Virginia was never in bet
ter condition, never more harmon
ious and never had finer prospects
of success than now The trend Of
sentiment in this state, and | believe
all over the country, has been dis
| tinctly against the national admin
istration and the policies of the Dem
ocratic party. The people are be-
ginning to realize that the Republican
party is the great constructive organ
ization of the country; that it's lead
ership is better equipped to solve the
! business problems which the country
has to meet during the period of re-
construction There is, moreover,
profound disgust with many individ
ual features of the Bureaucracy at
Washington and generally we have
most satisfactory instances of Dem
ocrats who tell us that they have
voted the Democratic ticket for the
last time
"It will be the policy of the Re-
publican state committee, so long as
| am chairman, to take no active part
in party primaries; to become the adj
fOIdLc VI uO CdHGlQdLG OF Cdn0I-
dates, but on the other hand to use
it's influence as far as possible to
mitigate party animosities, and to
keep down party division, but my
conception of the state Craftsmanship
is that the chairman is the servant
of the party and not its master, and
! during the coming primary cam
1 paign the entire influence of the or
ganization will be used to promote
| harmonious and satisfactory result.
Il feel sure that the Republican
candidates nominated in West Vir-
ginia next year will be elected.
Only monumental laundering on our
part can bring defeat. This state is
naturally Republican and all the in
/ dictations are that we are going to
have an old-time majority in 1920. :"
Mr.. Baker left for his home in
Elkins last night Wheeling Intel

His divine will, feeling that He

at our doors, who received Light and
who at all times has been an earnest
patron of Masonry and student of
its teachings; and
Whereas, In his death the State,
the county, the community and our
town has been deprived of one of its
best and most influential citizens; one
whose every thought was for good,
and who always spoke good counsel
into the ears Of his brethren and with
equal submission received the coun-
sci of his friends; one who was
ever ready TO stretch out the hand
Of charity to all who came his way;
one who had an abiding faith in the
Lion of the Tribe of Judea and walk
ed within his commands His en-
emies, II he had any, were few, and
his friends legion Such a friend
and Brother we have met to pay the
last sad rites that can be conferred
by cur honored and ancient institu-
ton, and while we lay his body in
the grave to await the resurrection
Of the Just we think Of his exemplary
life with true Masonic faith, remen
bering that as he has departed from
us to return no more, that we may 90
to him These feelings are express
ed not in mere words, but are utter
ed with hearts beating with the warm
Brotherly Love Of Master Masons.
Therefore be it
Resolved, That we tender to his
widow, to each of his children, to his
brothers and sisters our heartfelt
and tenderest sympathy, assuring
them that as they weep for the loss
of loving husband, devoted fa-
ther and faithful brother, we like
wise share their sorrow To Him
who has balm for every wound and
a solace for every sorrow, we point
them, feeling that at the great res
direction when they shall be reunited,
that we shall meet him in that Tenn
pie on high, where all good Masons
hope to arrive.
Resolved, That these resolutions be
spread upon the records of this
Lodge; that copy hereof be for
warded by the secretary under the
seal of the Lodge to the widow of
our deceased Brother; that copies of
the same be furnished to the news
papers Of the county with the re-
quest that as a slight token of our
esteem for our deceased brother that
the Altar and Working Tools Of the
Lodge be draped in mourning for the
period Of thirty days
