The County's Colored Voter.

The colored people are voting the Re-
publican ticket for three fundamental
reasons:
First. because Abraham Lincoln freed
them. and he was a Republican That
reason is certainly out OF date. The North
freed the negro and rightly so, but the
negro's best friend is the Southern fair
minded Democrat. The Democrats Of this
county do more for the negro than the
Republicans because in Montgomery coun-
ty the Democrats are nearly alwsys in
power.
The second reason is that most colored
people think that the Democrats are op-
pressing them. This is nothing but narrow
propaganda and absolutely wrong; never
theless. that is the belief of great many
of the colored people, which should be
given serious consideration.
The third reason is that Of heredity. which
applies to white people as well as 10 the
colored people. Nearly everyone belongs
TO this or that party because their parents
did.
II is to be hoped that the day will soen
come when colored people will choose
more rational reasons for their party al
lesiance. that they will vote for the best
man and stand by those who do the most
for them. They are not lettering their
own conditions by voting as they do now.
On the contrary. they are keeping alive an
out-of-date hatred and false superstition.
They form a very small minority in this
county and the wise thing for them to do
is to support the side that runs the bust
ness Of this county and gives them fair
treatment. schools, etc. They are some
what organized and they could use their
voting strength for the constructive DUR
pose of obtaining better treatment, better
schools. etc.
This lie not plea for the colored voter
to blindly vote for either party, on the
contrary, II is suggestion that they vote
more nationally, and that they donate their
political strength to the party that will give
them and Montgomery county the most
favorable results.

PROMINENT ELKINS
MAN DIES TUESDAY
William Grant Wilson, President of
the Davis Trust Company is Vic
tim of Paralysis.

William Grant Wilson, 81, died at
his home in Elkins late Tuesday night
following an illness of only few
hours duration. Mr. Wilson has been
president of the Davis Trust Com
pany since 1911
Mr.. Wilson has been in failing
health for the past several months,
but returned recently from bust
ness trip to New York City and was
at the hank Tuesday morning. AS he
was not feeling well he went to his
home, where he was stricken with
paralysis shortly after and never re-
gained consciousness.
He was born in Marion county, near
Fairmont, in 1864, the son of Isaac
and Harriet Wilson. He was educa-
ted in law and came to Elkins in the
early COS to practice his profession.
Later he became identified with the
Davis Trust Company and upon the
retirement Henry Gassaway Davis in
1911 became the president of that in
stitution.
He was also member Of the firms
Of the Hotel Tygart. Elkinsi Provision
and Storage Company, Valley ln-
proyement Company, and was recent
ly made director of the Western
Maryland Railroad Company.
Mr.. Wilson is survived by his wild
ow, Mrs. Mabel Fout Wilson and one
sister, Mrs. James Lynn of Oklahoma
City.
Funeral services will be conducted

Rev. DR.. Frederick H. Barron Of
Charleston officiating.

EIGHT MEMBER TRIBUNAL
MAY BE ILLEGAL

1t was declared today that
the Eight Member County
Court is only Utopian-that it
does not apply to Barbour
county, and that Isaac M. For
man, the newly elected member
of the court at large will take
his seat on January LIST, and
that the County Court of Bar
bour county will remain a
three member court.
Serious errors have been
found in the procedure of the
act by the Legislature. In the
first place there was no Reso-
luton preceding the enactment
and furthermore the resolution
was not followed by an enabl-
ing act, that is necessary IN
all constitutional amendments.
The act under which the prop
osition was submitted by the
legislature is the ordinary
form, and will not hold when
tested out by higher courts.
Papers are being prepared
to seat the regular member,
and to act with the other two
members, Willie Thorn and w.
w. Heatherly, at the beginning
of his term.
The district members will
not be able to find their seats,
is the opinion of the lawyers
consulted today, hence the
eight member tribunal will not
function, unless they do it ille-
gally, without power, authori-
ty and without pay.
Other errors are reported to
be found in the act, even if it
were constitutional, that would
make it void.
The proposition of enlarging
the County Court Room is tabl-
ed indefinitely, and the room
now occupied will be large
enough for a three-member
court.

UNCLE JOE CANNON
DIES in ILLINOIS
American Statesman Dies at His Old
Home in Danville at Age of 80
Lifetime Spent in Politics

Danville, Illinois, Nov 1.-THE
frey spirit of Joseph Quincy Cannon
dimned to an ember by the weight Of
80 years was quenched today by
death,
In the home from which he went
to Congress fifty three years ago,
amid walls laden with trophies Of his
public life, the patriarch died at high
noon, in the midst Of deep sleep.
Weakening Of the heart muscles
caused the death, but depredations of
old age had warned his family several
months ago that the end was near.
He told comrades in the national
House, when he quit its halls in 1922,
that he was going home to die, home
to the rambling brown brick mansion
which he built sixty-five years ago
for his bride who preceded him to the
grave.
America knew Cannon as "Uncle
Joe,' the stalwart leader of the lower
house, the fire eating debater, the ge-
NAL whiskered politician clenehing a
cigar in his teeth under broad brim-
med hat.
Danville knew him too, as Uncle
Joe" and as its most famous towns
man but it knew him also as a man
who came to great wealth during a
lifetime here. Ife was accounted
many times millionaire, and at his
death he owned substantial share
the National Bank which he and his
late brother, William, founded.
His death marked the passing of
congressman whose time of service
in national halls never has been
equal-ed. He went to Congress after
term as county attorney, and served
from 1873 to 1891. He was defeated
then, but came back two years later
to serve from 1893 to 1918. Then he
was carried to defeat with the Repub-
lican loss of 1912, but once more he
returned, in 1915, to hold his seat I'M
til he retired at the end Of the sixty
first congress.

sUPT. LoWERY BELIEVES
HERO WORSHIP SHOULD END

Teaching of the history in our
public schools should emphasize the
maintenance of peace rather than
hero worship" H. D. Lowery, super
intendant of the Philippi public
schools told the members of the local
Kiwanis club at their weekly meeting
held Friday evening at the Luzerne.
Hotel.
Mr.. Lowery pointed out that the
teaching of hero worship in relation
to our military readers and the en-
phasis that has been placed on the
military history in the past should
be done away with, and the children
of our schools taught to use their
knowledge of history in such a way
as to maintain peace.
Mr.. Lowery, who spoke in the
place of Forrest Polling, head of the
county American Legion he was
planned, is veteran of the World
War having served ten months in
the United States and ten months in
France. His address was frightened
by several "Reminiscences of his own
and several personal experiences. His
entire talk was in keeping with the
Armistice Day program which was
planned.
Mr.. o. D. Sands, county agricul-
tl1raI AGENT was a guest of the club
A committee made up of w. w.
Thomas, Howard Price and H. B.
Shomo was appointed to look into
the local baking situation and NOM
nation ballots were collected.
Nominations for club officers viii
be announced at the next meeting
which will be in charge of the busin-
ess committee.
