Hon. Edward Cooper Wins Landslide Victory Hon. Wells Goodykoontz Will Be Next Senate Law Maker notwithstanding the fact that the contest for the Circuit Court clerkship was spirted; in fact it was hot and grew hotter toward the close, and several of the candidates for the legislature made an animated contest, enough interest could not be aroused to get out one half the normal Republican vote. The fight for Circuit Clerk between Hons. W. Burbridge Payne and B. Hampton Gray waxed so warm during the week preceding the close of the contest that Governor H. D. Hatfield came over from Charleston to assist his old friend Payne. Also State Librarian W. W. Sanders returned to the county and made an able fight for the same candidate, as did Ike Noel, janitor. Even State Committeeman E. Howard Harper, whom it was reported had retired from politics, left his Tazewell, Vd., farm and spent one of the busiest weeks of his life lambasting the supporters of Mr. Gray. Hon. Charlie Harman ("Red Fox") saw "the boys," as usual, in their homes, at work and everywhere else. Hons. George Wolfe and W. W. Hughes made an active contest, while Hon. S. W. Patterson did very little campaign. Hon. Edward Cooper made several speeches in the county while Mr. Shott did not take the stump. Mr. Cooper's vote in McDowell county was 3,983. Mr. Shott's 1,291. Cooper receiving more than three to Shott's one, as was predicted in three columns in April. toe. The candidates were Moorman, Ramsey and Sq. Saddler. The Squire beat both Ramsey and Moorman almost two to one. (Continued on Page Two.) STATE'S FACTORIES FEEL TARIFF RUB That West Virginia steel mills and other factories are running much lighter at the present time than at the same season for a number of years, and that the reasons assigned by the officials are summed up in the declaration that uneasiness exists over the prospects in the future for business, owing to the effects of the Democratic tariff, was the report recently of State Labor Commissioner J. H. Nightingale, who has just returned from the eastern and northern part of the state. M. Asheville, N. O., July 16.—True bills, charging arson, have been returned by the Buncombe county grand jury against Bishop C. R. Harris, of the Second Episcopal district of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, which includes Blue Ridge, Albemarle and southeastern Virginia conferences, one of the leading colored churchmen of this state; H. J. Trent, who is now in Atlanta; Noah Murrough, W. P. Pgram, W. P. Brooks, Elijah McDowell, Dr. J. W. Walker, Parker Johnson, and Galeb Martin. They are charged with burning the African Methodist Episcopal church, Hopkins Chapel, on College street, about four years ago. Warrants were issued, and all the local men were arrested at once. Warrants for the arrest of Harris and Trent were sent to Sallibury and Atlanta, respectively. The others were all released on bonds of $500 each. The Carman case is an extreme example of what happens where a jealous woman is wedded to a professional man. Of course, in most cases, developments do not progress to this bloody and unregrettable culmination, but many a home is wrecked by the jealous woman as effectively and cruelly as the two homes affected by the Bailey murder in Freeport, L. I. The ancient saying is, "When poverty comes in at the door, love flies out the window." Experience teaches that the same is true of Jealousy and Happiness. As surely as Jealousy enters the household, Happiness slides down the rainpipe. Poverty may go and Love return, but Jealousy, once adored, sticks like a leech to her votaries. Every professional man knows the necessities and demands of his profession. The married professional man knows the mill-stone efficiency and the tormenting nagging and suspicions of a jealous wife He has stood stood face with the bindrances and trials conjured by the votary of the "green-eyed monster." He has seen his fondest ambitions wrecked by the vandal jealousy of a mis- Hon. W.

DRINKING GOES ON SPITE OF DRY LAW New York, July 9.—Figure published today show that drinking is on the increase despite the spread of prohibition. In 10 years the per capita consumption of alcoholic drinks has increased three gallons, having risen from 19.87 gallons to 22.68. This is not the highest average, however; in 1906 and again in 1911 the average was 22.79 gallons, which would indicate that in the last half of the decade the prohibitionists have been successful (Continued on Page Two.) THE REPUBLI- CAN PARTY The nominations for office in West Virginia for the fall elections have been about completed. We elect in this state this year a legislature, members of congress and the county officers. For a number of years West Virginia has been decidedly Republican, and it is fact of history that these Republican years have been coincident with the state's greatest material progress and advancement. However, the last two legislatures have been somewhat mixed. The senate twice has been a tie, and this has prevented in large measures either party having direct responsibility for the legislation enacted. In some respects, this equitable division of power in the senate worked to an advantage, as it prevented rt one time Democratic supremacy in that body and the carrying out of a threatened bull-in-the-china shop policy. On the whole, however, there is nothing after all like direct responsibility, and the power to carry out a complete policy. Mongrel policies as worked out by compromise generally are not howling success. They are too often the results of some bumbling rather than the work [O] "standpatism" and "progressiveism," the Republican party may be described more accurately as holding fast to that which is good, and ready always to anexet that which gives trustworthy promise of being an improvement on things that exist. It, however, takes the precaution to look before it leaps. It is a sane and a safe party to place in power, and its accomplishments in the past are its best guarantee for confidence in it in the future.---Charleston Mail. BLEASE TO EMPTY HIS PENI TENTIARY. Columbia, 8. C., July 20. ---Governor Cole L. Blease, who has pardoned twelve hundred convicts in the last three years, intends to clean out the state penitentiary by August 1 and turn it into a hospital. There are less than sixty convicts left. His average has been something over one pardon a day; to empty the penitentiary by August 1, he must average about two a day. NUMBER 21 Circuit Clerk's Place Battle GREAT BAPTIST MEEETING AT TAMS, W.

Shott was overwhel- ming and we not only congratulate the successful candidate but we give unstint- ed praise to his leading supporters and ‘she voters throughout the district who Drought about the victory of this able, ‘eonsciencious and fair man. We desire to especially mention the ‘work of Judge Joseph M. Saunders of BiueGeld, who was more than s match for Judge H. A. Ritz, thechief supporter of Mr. Shots. Judge Saunders was un- tiring in his efforts to show the Repiab- Micans why Mr. Cooper shosld be nom- imated and bie efiorts were most gionous Ay elective. ‘We also mention Hon.

As it is estimated that people who do the drinking number about 25 1-2 per cent of the total population of the coun. try, the sctusl per capita consumption for the ones who condime the fluid would be about $9 gallons.

Wilson’s Administration Rulers Doubtless Want to See Wheth er Applicants Are White , or Colored, Washington, D. ©., July 13,--An- nouncement was made in Washington Saturday to the effect that all applicant for civil service examinations in the fw- ture will have to file their photographs with their applications and examination Papers. The explanation is given that heretotore profewional examination ta- kers have been passing the examinations under amomed vames, and that unwor- thy individuals have profited thereby. While the commission bas not been able to discover any employees of the govern- ment now who have profited by such means, the conviction is sefd to remain Revertheless. There are thowe who see further than the noses on their face who recognize in this a shrewd move on the part of | the Democrats to keep colored men who suc- comfully pam the examiuations off the elgible list, or at least to prevent their early appointment.

Davis. of See has long been a friewt of the Wilvon family, and he carrie! that friendehip into the campaign two years ago, and. ‘was secretary of the Deu«ratic National Committee. Davis had anuibitions to a cabinet officer, tat miswd fire.

His duties will be to investi-. gate nearly everything that is guing By. way of getting his hands in, Mr. Davies hae immed @ report covering the owner- ship of timber throuxhent the United States. and he has gone Commusioner Smith, who covered the -uhjrt of water power, one better. The Davies report contains some startling «lis-lowres, and it appears that $2,500,000) acres of land, granted to three western railroads in the ‘sixties is still largely hoarde! by these railroads, since they retain forty percent of the original holdings. The further discovery is pointed out that 1,691 tim- ber owners hold over one-twen tieth of the land area of the entire United States from Canida to the Mexican border. Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho and Louisina are in the hands of the timber barons. Mr. Davies finds many potential evile in this large concentration of ownership, which are “high prices for land sold to settlers, increase of the ten- antry system, or direct farming by large corporations."” “AN ANCIENT EVIL AND A NEW CONSCIENCE Jane Adams of Chicago, has written a new boos, the tithe of which is “An An- cient Evil and New Conwience.’’ Sen- ‘stor Jobn Sharp Willis ms has declared on the floor of the Senate: “I will wa- ger my head that that took alone willde more good in accelerating the spiritual growth-—it will bring the men who pos e2ss things and the men who do not pos ses things more nearly together upon a common plane of thought snd feeling than all that Congres: could have done if it had done nothing else for the past ten years.” Now let the olservers note ‘whether this testimony trom the Federal Senate is as effective in making Mise Adams’ new book one of the “best sell- ers,"’ as was that other voice of the gov- erament which spoke in the past, when sanctimonious John Wanamaker used the power of his office as Postmaster General to exciude @ popular novel from the mails, resulting in @ million copies being # ld. THE SENATORIAL CHUCKLE. No doubt the United States Senate is having agoxl chuckle behind closed doore---you know they have closed doors at the Senate, with star chamber wwsions, executive semions, caucuws and secret comuittee meetings. Bot this time one Weaaburg with business offices in the ene picious financial district of New York bas replied to « request of the Senate that he appear Wore it in order that he might be questione:| in reference to his appoint. | Ment on the rewrve board, telling ed Senators in substance to go chare them-| selves. These real nice Senators do not lik to be treated that way, and they bave put Mr. Warburg's appointment into « dark pigeonhole. The President wants them to take it out and act upon it. In every other instance since Woodrow Wilson has teen in the White House, the Senate bas obeyed bis mandate, but thie time they only return « blank stare, murmaring meanwhile: “Why, Mr. President, Warburg has been s rude that we could not think of it. GROWTH OF GOVERNMENT CONTROL. The Interstate Commerce Couminaion is hitting bad railroad managment right between the eyes, and it has not minced matters in analyzing the manner by which “reckless and profligate” financial ope- rations are estimated to have cost the stockholders of the New Haven railrond from $65,000,000 to $0000),.000, Former President Mellen told a straightforward story when he wae hefore the commimion in Washington recently, and although he and his confederates established » basis for the Interstate Commerce Oommis- ‘sion’s Gndings, yet he now declare that politics lie at the bottom of the mrport, However, it is noticeable that while government is tiffhtening the reigns on corporation control, that the managers of big business are trying to “keep within the law,"” and juage their transactions imeuch «manner that the big officials will be able to escape judges and courts, The process of an awakened basinews con- science has gone sy far that it may even be preamble for some of the heads of trosts to enter Heaven. WILSON AND NEXT TERM. : A good many people hang to the no- tion that « strict reading of the Balti- ‘more platiorm takes Mr. Wilson out of the «quasion for 1916. But the practical method of looking at the matter was ex- Premed by Speaker Champ Clark, at the ume he broke with the administration on the Panama Canal tolls matter, and de- clared that if President Wilson's policies were successful that the country would demand bis resienation in 1916; apd if his policies were a failure then the nom- ination would not be worth having. _ it is doubtfal if there has been as violent a cam of presidential tel. in recent year that whieb bar attacked the Speaker, ‘in conseqaeace be wanufectured « num- ber of panaceas to remedy the evils of the presidency, and he has recently blossow- ed oot asthe advocate of a one term of six years, because, be deciares, ‘‘the President spénds most of his first term trying to get back again.”’ THE RESIGNATION OF HUERTA Since the beginning of the “‘watebful ‘waiting’’ polioy im reference to Mexico the fond hope that Huerta would resign has been heralded in headlines of news- papers in the National Capitol and thronghout the country se often as was the old question concerning the age of Anp.

R. W. White, who generally has a fund of political information at his command, we were more than pleased to note that he was firm in his declarations along certain line, pertaining to harmony in the party and the view he takes what we believe to be a fair and impartial view of the situation, and is optimistic about the situ st on. "What, in your opinion, Mr. White, is the state of the mind of the people today, relative to the national Administration?" "I should say, in an off hand way, that the state of business depression is so obvious that little if any augment or comment is necessary to emphasize that fact. It is pure folly on the part of the Democrats to attempt to take unto themselves credit for what prosperity may be coming to the country in the way of almost unprecedented crops. What use of great crops, save there is a market to handle the same at a profitable margin? What use of great crops, if the other fellow can bring into the country the same products and not only sell them as cheap, but can undersell? A few years ago, during a Republican administration, we were blessed with an abundance bountiful, from the hands of the husbandry of this country and the Democrats wailed that we were assuming credit for that, for which we did not particularly toil or legi-a e, but that rather, it was an act of God. We can very aptly say to them, under these circumstances, the same thing. Practically the same thing is happening now, which happened the first Administration of President Cleveland. The Democratic party at that time, rode for four years on the retreating second accounts of Republican prosperity, which accounted very largely for the second election of Cleveland. But few of us, however, who do not vividly recall, that it was clearly demonstrated during Cleveland's second term, that the shoulders of that Republican prosperity had retreated below the horizon line. Their tinkering with the tariff has been extremely disastrous to the country; if the high cost of living has been reduced, we have failed to see the evidence of same; the currency law has been in vogue at least long enough to showsemblance and sign of betterment, if it were there, and there are few, if any, who, when the matter of the dealing with the Mexican situation is approached, will not hang their heads in omnious silence, all of which indicates plainly, that the most ardent supporters and admirers of the present Administration, prefer to draw over it the mantle of charity, and await eagerly the opportunity to perfect a change. The country sees this, the business man sees this, the laborer sees this, and the professional man sees this, and the efficacy of the seeing is, that whether their political faiths The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text or content.

Mr. White in one of the most active politicians in the State, an anchor of more and a parliamentarian with low expempi are similar or not, they all see this situation alike, which presses a change of the complexion of both of the National Houses this fall." "In what light do you regard the nomination of Edward Cooper?" "To my way of thinking," continued Mr. White, "it is one of the very best things which could have happened to the Fifth Congressional District. The 'tue and cry' about Mr. Cooper's being an operator was all tomyrot and heralded for vote getting purposes and nothing more. "West Virginia is a rich state, but rich in one commodity alone, viz: coal. We have no agricultural territory to speak of; our timber is about depleted, but we have coal enough to last for two hundred years on the present working basis. Conceding that Mr. Cooper is a coal operator, common sense teaches us that he will necessarily protect and enlarge the coal industry in this state and if he does this he must also, necessarily enhance the value of labor in the state, and thereby become a permanent benefactor to the state. The interest of the populace and the coal operators in this state are so inseparable connected that they run hand in hand and the interest of one is at once the interest of the other. Mr. Cooper is an able, competent, clever gentleman. He is qualified and fitted for the position. He is a finished lawyer, a product of two of the best universities in the country and a broad minded man, whose heart is full to overflowing, with the milk of human kindness. As little as you think of it, the greatest students human nature make the best public officials, and this is what Mr. Cooper necessarily is, from the very position he occupies and has occupied all his life. I predict that he will carry the district by a very handsome and safe majority and rest you assured, that he will be heard from in the Halls of Congress." "What do you think of the situation in the county?" "I fail to quake with alarm, as some seem to do in this regard. McDowell, to my way of thinking, is just as rockribbledly Republican as she has always been. What happened prior to the nomination of the county ticket is what might be expected and what always happens when there are two or more candidates for the same office. It is the very fact of men's having honest differences of opinions in politics, that marks the upward tendency of the same and really indicates progression along this line. I regard the colored organization today in the same light as I have always regarded it, viz: that of one of the strongest political assets in the county. Remember this was nothing but a family contest. It is rather complimentary that there was an honest difference of opinion. It shows clear- 1920 end of Hon. Edward Cooper's cam- B. Foraker of Ohio.

One of the few really great lawyers of West Virginia, formerly member of the Supreme Court of Appeals of the State. He began, publicly, advocating the nomination of Mr. Cooper tor Congress almost a year ago, and was unceasing in efforts to accomplish that result. Judge Saunders was more than a match for Judge Ritz, the leading legal champion of the case. Mr. Saunders stands with "Bob" Lilly and E. E. Carter, are largely responsible for the splendid showing made by Mr. Cooper in Buesdell. The judge is not only a great lawyer, but when he leaves the court to take a turn in politics, he must be reconceived with, as is so very well known now by Mr. Shott. He is a big hearted, generous, fair, able man, whether at the bar or on the hustings. THE PRESENT OF IMPROVEMENT AT WORLD'S GREATEST EXPOSITION. The great Palace of Machinery as seen from its south facade. The mechanical triumphs of the world will be displayed in the great Palace of Machinery at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition at San Francisco next year.

Three vessels the size of the world's largest shipments could easily be placed in this vast structure and with some to spare. ly that men are thinking, and when men are thinking there is always a star of hope for the betterment hung out in the say of the future. I believe you will find all this talk about the disruption in the organization eminates from the Democratic party, and the expression in this instance is rather father to the weight. It is clear that the Democratic party would like to see this state of affairs, but they are doomed to disappointment. You may say for me, that I believe that I voice the sentiment of the 99 per cent. of the colored voters, not only in this county but in the state, when I say that we may differ on whom we desire to represent us, out of our own ranks, but we are an unit and will present one solid the Democrats. We might disagree on everything else but we certainly all agree on that, as colored voters. We stand here on the dividing line and look down over the states of Virginia, North and South Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama and host of other southern states and see how the Democrats fooled our colored brethren down there with this self same argument, but we'll met them "on the sand of Phillipi" in this instance and David-like, will cast the stone of a solid vote into the head of their nefarious hope, and plant our foot upon the prostrate form of their Goliath in November, "for they fight, not in the cause of the ford, but against the Host of Israel." "Of course the fight in the county centered about Mr. Payne and Gray for Circuit Clerk. Both estimable gentlemen. Both good men. Both had a right to aspire. Both did aspire. Mr. Payne won. Mr. Gray went down in defeat, but honorable defeat, and I would rather have Mr. Gray's defeat than some victories of which I know and certainly rather than any Democratic victory. Their respective followers, I feel, will be found supporting the Republican ticket to a man in November. Nor do I believe they will support it half-heartedly, but I believe they will put into it vim, vigor and aggressiveness that will result in victory in the election. I think you will agree with me, Mr. Whittico, that a house divided against itself cannot stand, and we have anat all realized that from the Chicago convention and are profiling by the same. The Democrat always start to defeat the Republican party by arraying one class of Negroes against the other, but I believe we are serving notice on them yearly, to the effect that we are on their game and that they will have to change their worn out methods of dealing with the problem. I am frank to say to you, that I see no reason for alarm about the so called turbulant waters in the organization and I firmly believe that in November we will elect the entire Republican ticket from Congressman in the Fifth Congressional District, down to the very humblest Republican office in McDowell county." A Ballard of Vegetables (Philadelphia Record.) A potato went out on a mash, And sought an onion bed. "That's pit for me," observed the squash And all the beets turned red. "Go 'way,' the onion weepingly cried; "Your love I cannot be." The pumpkin be your lawful bride— You cantaloupe with me." But onward still the tuber came, And lay down at her feet; "You cauliflower a flower by any name And it would smell as wheat; And I, too, am an early rose, And you I've come to see; So don't turnip your lovely nose, But spinach with me." --- "I do not carrot at all to wed; So go, sfr, if you please," The modest onion meekly said, "And lettuce, pray, have peas! Go, think that you have never seen Myself or smelled my sigh; Too long a maiden I have been For favors in your rye." "Ab, spare a cuss," the tuber prayed: "My cherryshed bride you'll be; So are the only weeping maid That currant now for me." And as the wily tuber spoke, He caught her by surprise, And giving her an artichoke, Cevoured her with his eyes. A. L.

Va., July 21.----That the West Virginians who have made their homes in San Francisco and other points in California are intensely interested in the share West Virginia will take in the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, is evidenced through communications being received at frequent intervals by the West Virginia Commission. In San Francisco there is a West Virginia-California Society." Of this Society Miss Carr, a sister of Colonel Bob Carr of Charleston, is Corresponding Secretary and Treasurer. Miss Carr, writing under date of July 5th to the Commission, said in part: "Yesterday was a gala day at the Exposition grounds—flag raising, patriotic celebrations, &c. We ran up the West Virginia Flag on the 41-foot pole, after which we went to see the West Virginia Building. This building is now ready for the roof. It looks fine, and is on the most beautiful spot of the Exposition grounds. Just recently the Exposition authorities have made a driveway on the Bay shore, and the West Virginia building is on a slight elevation, with the front facing the street to the East, and the side to the driveway along the Bay overlooking the Golden Gate and the Port. The only word that can describe the location and building is 'grand.' The Commission certainly made a happy selection in the site for the State's building. West Virginians who come to the Exposition will want to stay forever. The reflection of the sunrise on the opposite mountains is beautiful; but when the sun is setting in a fog through the Golden Gate, it is simply grand. The beauties that will surround the West Virginia building are numerous and will compare very favorably with the surroundings of the costliest buildings now being erected by the States and foreign countries. The West Virginia Building bids fair of architectural beauties perhaps unsuspected by the architect who planned it."

MENTION PAPER YOU SAW AD IN Announcement of Dates of Summer Educational Theater Made by School Superinten- What would be your idea of ten good rules for the beginning teacher in the schools of West Virginia? Nearly everybody, competent or not, is willing to give her some sort of "sterling" advice and usually does whether she asks for it or not. Here are ten rules offered the beginner by State Superintendent of Schools M. P. Shawkey, as a part of the West Virginia Institute program, which has just been issued: "One: Work; two: Enjoy your work; three: Study the individual pupil; four: Study the lessons you are going to teach; five: Give your orders in the form of requests; six: Say what you mean and mean what you say; seven: Do not take offense too easily; eight: Do not talk too much; nine: Be courteous; ten: Be prompt." The institutes of the various counties of the state will be held—from three to a dozen each week—during the six weeks between July 20 and Sept. 5. More than seventy-five different instructors, many coming from other states, have been engaged by the department of schools to be the speakers on the various programs. "In Oklahoma, Kansas and some other states the teachers' institute lasts two, three or four weeks and becomes in effect a summer school. In Pennsylvania it is distinctly an educational chauauqua. In West Virginia it has been at times past a school, a literary society, a teachers' convention and sometimes a sort of job-lot of unrelated exercises of a variety of kinds. "Under existing conditions in this state," continues Mr. Shawkey, "the school feature cannot be made very prominent, and yet the institute must do some thing for the two thousand or more beginning teachers who stand in need of training in all the branches they are to teach, and especially in methods. The institute likewise should be the means of some professional growth for grade teachers and high school teachers who are ambitious for growth as many are at the present time, "The institution will fail of a great opportunity if it does not become a means of county organization for definite purposes in which the county superintendent lent must be the leader. It also is valuable in that through it the state department finds a medium of quickly and directly reaching all the teachers of the state with a murge of suggestion, direction or instruction.

It should afford some of the inspiration of work well done, of the beautiful in art and literature and especially the higher ideals of personal living.
