OPEN OTHER GATES WIDER. Senator Dillingham Proposes to Restrict Every Nationality According to Number Now In This Country—No Action on Bill This Session. Washington.—Senator Dillingham of Vermont has introduced a bill by which he hopes to reduce immigration from southern and eastern Europe and Asia in a more effective way than was provided in the Dillingham-Burnett bill, which President Taft vetoed in the closing days of the last session. Mr. Dillingham, who was chairman of the committee on immigration last session and is now its ranking Republican member, has abandoned the literacy test to which Mr. Taft objected and substituted a provision that immigration from a country in one year should be limited to 10 per cent of the number of natives of that country already domiciled in the United States. This provision would apply to all the world except the western hemisphere. The census returns show that countries of northern Europe, whose citizens are considered particularly desirable as immigrants, have already such heavy representation in the United States that the 10 per cent limit would largely increase the yearly inflow from most of those countries. On the other hand, Mr. Dillingham quotes figures to show that the bill would reduce the immigration of Austro-Hungarians by almost one-third. Greeks one-half, Halians one-third, Portuguese one-seventh, European Turks one-half and Asiatic Turks three-eighths. While Mr. Dillingham admits that his bill is drafted for the express pur- PETER H. HARRIS Copyright by American Press Association. SENATOR DILLINGHAM. pose of reducing undesirable immigration, he has sought to provide for the liberal operation of its provisions. Transient visitors are not counted in fixing the limit, nor are those aliens who return to this country after visiting their homes, nor aliens coming even for the first time if their near relatives are already in America. The professional and business classes are altogether exempt from the provisions of the bill, and the secretary of labor is authorized to admit aliens in excess of the 10 per cent limit for humanitarian reasons. "The average annual immigration from Austria-Hungary during the last ten years." said Mr. Dillingham. "has been approximately 220,000, but under the bill immigration from that country would be limited to 167,000 annually. at least until the census of 1920 afford- Department of Archives, Chelsea, W. Va. E SHALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE MARTINSBURG, V ed a new basis for computation. Immigration from Italy has averaged 207,000 annually, but future immigration from that country would be limited to about 134,500, while Greece would be limited to 10,000 as compared with an average of about 20,000 in recent years. Apparently immigration from Turkey would be cut down about one-half. Of all the principal sources of southern and eastern European immigration Russia alone would seem to be little affected, as under the proposed law 173,500 immigrants could be admitted from that country annually as compared with an average annual immigration of 172,500 during the past ten years. "On the other hand, Germany has furnished an average of 35,000 immigrants in recent years and under the proposed law could send 250,000. The United Kingdom could send about 258,000, but has sent an average of 96,000 in the last ten years. In the cases of France, Belgium, Switzerland, the Netherlands and the Scandinavian countries the margin is not so large, but it is not believed that the law would in any way affect immigration from such countries." It is not expected that Mr. Dillingham's bill will receive consideration at the present session, but he hopes for nonpartisan support for it next winter. In the meantime he, with other senators who favor it, will work quietly in the interests of the measure. WASP STING MAKES POOR CRIPPLE WALK Feels "Hot Needle" Pierce His Ankle and Runs. St. Louis.—Charles Wightman, deputy county clerk at Clayton, told how he had just been able to walk without crutches for the first time in thirty-eight of the forty-two years of his life. He fell when he was four years old and injured both legs permanently. He said that a neighbor had told him a snake story just before he went to bed. It was a tale of a black snake ever so many feet long and an incredible number of inches thick, which the neighbor had said he had killed. Charles woke up in the morning with the story still in mind. He thought how comfortable it was to live in a country where one could sleep in peace instead of in one of those countries where, he had heard, smokes sometimes creep in and share one's bed. Reveling in the thought, he thrust his right leg deeper under the covers. Then something that stung like a hot needle pierced his ankle. "I sprang out of bed and ran and stumbled twelve feet across the room," he said. "It was the first time I had taken so many steps unassisted since I was a baby." "And was it really a snake?" he was asked. "No. It was a wasp." And he showed the ankle where the sting had swollen it. PRAISES GRAPE JUICE HOST Daniels Holds Bryan Up as Pattern Approves Roosevelt's Suit. Washington. — Praise of Secretary Bryan for "the courage of his convictions" in refusing to serve wine at a dinner he gave recently to the diplomatic corps was given by Secretary Daniels in addressing a Sunday school rally for prohibition in the District of Columbia. He advised all young men to follow Secretary Bryan's course and to seek safety in total abstinence. Secretary Daniels also praised Theodore Roosevelt for prosecuting for libel an editor accused of circulating stories relative to drinking on the part of the former president. Atchison, Kan.-J. W. Kelso of East Atchison came very near having a laundry bill of $1,005.12 for getting one shirt washed in a local laundry. There was $1,005 in the pocket of the shirt in checks and cash when Kelso sent it to the laundry, but missed it and recovered it before it was put in the wash. WOULD AVOID ALL LABOR DISPUTES "Capital and Labor Are Partners, and Each Should Have Voice in Determining the Terms," He Says—Doesn't Favor Strikes. Washington.—William Bunchop Wilson, secretary of labor, is a strong, sturdy man, with blond hair, fair face, fighting gray blue eyes and a Scottish accent. He was born at Elaniyre, Scotland, April 2, 1862, and came to this country nine years later. Settling with his parents in Tioga county, at Arnot, Pa., he became a mine worker at the age of ten. The following year, just after he had passed his eleventh year, he was made a half member of the Mine Workers' union. He obtained his early education from a small village school and in rough and tumble debates in union meetings. He was elected to the Sixtieth, Sixty-first and Sixty-second congresses. March 4 he was appointed secretary of the new department of labor. This, briefly, is the story of the man who is the first to hold a particular cabinet office. "What this department hopes to do primarily," said Secretary Wilson, "is to try to bring about such conditions that 'uplift' work in industrial centers will not be needed. We are proceeding on the assumption that capital and labor are partners, capital furnishing the material ready for use and labor the vitalizing force. Capital and labor should each have a voice in determining the terms of the partnership." Secretary Wilson thinks that a strike is like a war between nations—to be resorted to when all other efforts have failed. "I would not favor a strike if anything else was left for me to do," he ```markdown ``` 1913, by American Press Association. SECRETARY WILLIAM B. WILSON. said. "In strikes, as in war, there are destruction and ruin, but there are times when they cannot be avoided. "I look upon the department of labor as a means of helping to bring nearer year by year the goal of social justice. Every man is entitled to the full social equivalent of what he produces. The problem is to arrive at that condition. Capital and labor are partners. "Capital without labor is ineffective; labor without capital is idle. Capital is animate; labor gives it life. The one can produce nothing without the employment of the other. To be effective capital and labor must serve each other. Their interests diverge when they come to divide what they have produced. These two elements should sit down together and work out a plan by which the division of profits will be fair, with due regard for the rights of each." It has been feared by advocates of the "open shop" that Secretary Wilson would lean a little closer to organized labor than he should do in this country of all sorts of labor. But he denies that he is to be a union labor officer of the government. He believes that laboring people should organize and that a union labor man, as a rule, is more fit than the nonunion worker. "With the growing industries," said Mr. Wilson, "there is no longer that personal relation between employer and employed that formerly existed. The employer is compelled to deal with larger numbers. The employee as an individual cannot make as satisfactory a contract with the employer as he can when he unites with his fellow workers and fellow men. That is what makes a labor movement necessary. "The department of labor was instituted to obtain by the rule of reason that is, by striking a basis where the employer can compete with rivals and also pay satisfactory wages—a fair and amicable adjustment of all trade disputes. This would be a rule of reason based upon facts. "The purposes for which the department of labor was established will have been accomplished if we can bring capital and labor together upon a just basis." MISCHIEVOUS PAGE CALLS MISS WILSON But Suspicious Phone Operator Intercepts Message. MISCHIEVOUS PAGE CALLS MISS WILSON But Suspicious Phone Operator Intercepts Message. Washington.--After a search of five weeks on the part of secret service men, capitol policemen and attaches of the sergeant at-arms office to discover the identity of the page of the house who called up Miss Jessie Wilson on the phone on one of the night sessions of the house the search of the guilty person was finally abandoned. During the night sessions on the tariff the pages on the floor of the house having lots of time on their hands, amused themselves by phoning to various residences in all parts of the city. One of the lads suggested that it would be a good joke to call up "Main G" and ask for Miss Wilson. This is the White House number, although it was unknown to the boy who used the private line from the capitol to the White House. The operator on duty at the executive mansion realizing that somebody was playing a trick, notified the capitol switchboard, and the message was traced to the house cloakroom. An immediate investigation was ordered. After weeks of work the identity of the page responsible for calling up the White House remains a mystery. The message for Miss Wilson never got any further than the operator at the White House. AN UNUSUAL MORTGAGE. Farmer Puts Up Chickons, Hogs and Revolver as Security. Washington, Ga.—There was placed on record in the office of the clerk of Wilkes county what is considered the most unusual mortgage ever recorded in this or any other county. The security named in the recorded instrument consists of the following valuable property—to wit: "Nine chicken heens, two sow hogs and a 32 caliber pistol." The amount of the debt thus secured is $23, and it is provided that if the obligation is not met at maturity the property mentioned therein shall be sold at public outcry. All home-stead exemption rights are waived by the maker of the mortgage. The question is being asked, "Does this mortgage emphasize the increasing value of the 'hog and hominy' propaganda, or is it but another indication of the extreme stringency in the land about which so much has been said and written—which?"

Edmonton, Alberta. — George Gardiner of Ottawa is in Edmonton outfitting for a trek over the trail of romance to the Upper Hayes river district to prospect a gold claim located by a man he believes to have been his uncle on the bank of the Peace river in 1898, during the rush to the Yukon, when this city was made the starting point of the overland trail to the Klondike. The story told here by Gardiner is that during the Klondike rush three prospectors went into the Hayes river country, which, except for a small part along the river near Vermillion, is unexplored. One of the party was found on the river bank a year afterward. The man was enunciated and lived only a few hours, but in his last few minutes of life told of a fight with Indiana, who killed his two companions. He had in his possession samples of the richest gold. It could have been procured in no other place, so it may be that unexplored territory is rich in the yellow metal. Though the hinterland has been explored to points within the arctic circle, the Upper Hayes river country, still remains a vast unknown stretch. Remarking upon the fact, an old timer in the north country said he had never known of a white man getting far into that part of the country. From Edmonton to Peace river crossing by way of Athabasca is 400 miles, and outside of about a fifty mile stretch beyond Peace river crossing and the Upper Hayes still lies a great unexplored land of rolling and, so far as is known, open country. It is inhabited by the Dog Ribs tribe of Indians. The territory runs clear through to the mountains on the British Columbia side, and it is supposed that a large number of "bad Indians" have settled in these. CRAZY WOODPECKERS, THESE. Failing to Find Acorns, They Gather Pebbles For Food. San Francisco—the woodpeckers of Sonoma county are suffering from a mild sort of insanity, according to an erudite document issued by the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology of the University of California. The document says: "The reason why California woodpeckers in the vicinity of Sonoma mountain should have stored pebbles instead of the customary acorns is a mystery." "We know that instinct works as automatically as an alarm clock. In the failure of an acorn crop it would seem possible that the woodpecker might instinctively have stored some other available kind of food, but to have chosen stones instead of some sort of food carries the analogy too far. "It seems as though any bird with the intelligence of the California woodpecker which would make the same mistake ought to be chased as insane." PASTORS ADOPT EUGENICS. Won't Perform Marriages For the Physically Unfit. Lynn, Mass.-The Protestant clergymen here (Methodist, Episcopal, Congregationalists and Baptists) have resolved individually to take a stand for the physical fitness of applicants for marriage, and they are to meet to concentrate their energies in behalf of the protection of society. The Rev. C. Thurston Chase of the Central Congregational church, the pioneer in the movement, said: "I have performed my last marriage ceremony in which it will not be necessary for the couple to furnish certificates vouching for their physical fitness. "I maintain that a minister should refuse to perform the marriage ceremony when he thinks it should not be performed."

Out in the interest of the Pioneer Press, to collect and solicit subscribers. Please be prepared to pay promptly, for I have a large territory to go over, and my time is limited, owing to other pressing matters. Very truly yours, J. R. Clifford. As our wise friend, John Mitchell, Jr., has oft times truly said, the poor Negro has scant chances when he is the issue before the United States Supreme Court. The proof of our conclusion is found in a decision rendered by that august tribunal in the case of Mrs. Mary F. Butts, a Boston colored woman who sued the Merchants and Miners Transportation Company. A rich condemnation has started against extreme high heeled shoes and hobble skirts. Reduction in half of each could be used to health's benefit. How strange it is that American women are constantly going from one extreme to the other. The English people have done away with high heeled shoes, and are now wearing no heel shoes and of course ours will fall in line. Go it while you can. Soon as President Wilson chops off one Negro's head, actuated by his christian wife, as reports have it, his ex is reharpened to execute another. Surely such tokens of devotion to his Negro devotees will make all Negroes hereafter support the democratic party. Judging the future by the past, we assume to foretell what may happen, to wit that he, President Wilson, the praying christian be is, will make Bishop Walters in time First Assistant Postmaster General, and J. Milton Waldron, First Assistant Secretary of War. You two old soldiers to the crown of thorns orator and his idol Wilson—have patience—your time is coming. We congratulate our friends, Editor M. T. Whittico, and Business Manager T. Edward Hill, of the McDowell Times, Keystone, W. Va., on the purchase by them, of a fine new Cottrell printing press, costing sixteen hundred dollars, every cent of which the Times proudly says, "is paid for." The newspaper named above has always been a top notcher along news and editorial lines, and with its increased equipment, consisting of new presses, type, &c., we expect to see the Times grow bigger, better and grander than ever. By way of a final word, it might not be amiss to state that the citizenry of Southern West Virginia have a real newspaper in the Times, and they should support it to a man. Particular attention is called to an article appearing elsewhere in these columns from the pen of John E. Bruce, the noted correspondent, and all around literary expert. It is worthy a careful perusal, and opens up a line of thought that should, but does not seriously occupy the public mind. We mean the inapitude of the average white man to see that his arrogant and boasted superiority of his makeup is slowly, but surely on the wane. Count OKuma, the great Japanese statesman and author, is quoted at length by Mr. Bruce, and although separated by thousands of miles, strange to say, they are practically agreed regarding the issue of human rights. The Pioneer Press has always admired, indeed loved Hon. H. O. Smith for his life time devotion to his race's right, and throwing those jocular glasses aside, wholeheartedly we join you in an everlasting warfare against what you so justly say—that disfranchisement and jimorow laws are bell's imps of imps, and to kill them will kill the nits of all other wrongs. The Pioneer Press took the same stand and stands there now on all fours, that if the Negroes generally would unite and fight these two major and infamous acts, as they did the discharge of the Brownsville soldiers, which is insignificant to jim crow and disfranchising laws, they would soon be wiped out. We had a taste of the stinking old rotten crow last Monday and Tuesday. On Monday, after riding as an American in West Virginia, we were asked by our blushing conductor, "Mr. Clifford, will you please come with me into the rear car. I am sorry to do this, but its the law." In Harrisonburg, Va., we lined up with the whites to take our turn to get a ticket, and when near the window a colored man, who seemed uneasy and pale, stepped up and said—"You can't get a ticket at this place; go into the other side—the colored people's jimcrow room—we,' got no ticket and paid our fare on the train. Infernal! Not only jimorowed, but such a crowd of white railroad laborers flooded our pig pen that made it more offensive than it was otherwise, and of all conduct we have ever witnessed in skylarking, cursing, &c, they carried on, and not a word was said against it. Loud and boisterous talking, boxing and one fellow sat on the arm of our seat, and so it went on. Terrible! If the prejudiced class of whites did not think they are gods of all they survey, they would lavishly treat the ones they debased and in slavery for 25 years, and worse for the past 50 years, and all other peoples not their color. They ought to read the Bible more and believe its teachings, and set themselves back to a level of the brotherhood of man, because of the universal fatherhood of God. It might be well too, to consider themselves Goliaths' and then ponder over how a just God helped and guided David; how Gideon and his few loyal defenders slew their foes. The word "nigger" and the infamous laws to make its application as low as they desire us to be, gives more than 50,000,000 whites great pleasure to use and prefer to use it, rather than Mr., brother, &c. Don't you haughty souls of sin know that time is the regulator of all things, and that the day—yes the great day—of judgment and settlement is on you? Sure as there is a just God who made the sun to shine and the moon to reflect its light by night, war is on us, and Japan is going to start it, and America's brutality to the Negroes—its best friends—will have caused it. Why? Because this same hating class considers Chinese, Japanese, Filipinos, Malays, Hindus, and other brown or dark skin peoples "niggers" or their descendants. Thousands of American soldiers wrote back from the Philippines telling how they were "killing niggers." We believe God is sick and tired of the whites' bellish treatment to God's sons and daughters in ebony, and that Japan is His avenue to wipe it out. Hoot at it as you may; that was done before the Civil War, but it proved to be a deadly boomerang and down went slavery. Set it down as a fact that God works in mysterious ways. Although fifty years ago, Japan was a heathen nation, today its one of the most enlightened and has the wisest and bravest fighters on earth, and can whip America. Probably her first step will be to take from us, the Philippines, thence to Hawaii, and next destroy within an hour or two, the overrated Panama Canal. Stick a pin in our forecast, and see whether we have seen through our glasses clearly. His Highness King Dauadi of Buganda, aged sixteen, left Uganda by the Union Castle Line on Tuesday on his way to London. He is accompanied by his tutor, Mr. Sturrock, who has had the care of his education for many years past. An Englishman, and a personal friend of the young ruler, who has recently returned from Uganda told an "Express" representative that except for his sombre complexion King Dauadi is just like any healthy English schoolboy of his age. "The last time, I saw him," he said, "he was wearing a tweed golfing suit and had just come back from the links. He is devoted to the game and plays extremely well. "His other hobby is motor cycling, and when not occupied with affairs of State—for he usually presides at the Lukinko, or native Parliament—he is mostly golfing or cycling. "He speaks English as fluently as he does his native tongue, and has gone through a thorough English school curriculum. He is very fond of reading adventure stories and all boys' books, and has quite a large library in his palace. On official occasion he wears native dress, and he keeps up a certain amount of state at his Court of Buganda, which is the ruling province of Uganda. "For a long time he has been eager to see England; and after consulting his Prime Minister, Katakiro, he decided on paying an unofficial visit to London. "From all I know of this Negro prince he is an honest, straightforward, well brought up lad, eminently suited to govern his people, and it will be a great pity if he is spoiled by various ideas as to position and rank being put into his head when he comes to Europe.—London Daily Express. THE SIGNIFICANT WORDS OF COUNT OKUMA OF JAPAN. In the New York Sun, of Sunday, June 15, is reproduced an article from the Japanese paper Taiyo published at Tokyo, contributed to its columns by Count Okuma, being a discussion of the anti-Japanese agitation in California. Among other things Count Okuma observes: The California anti-Japanese question relates not only to the welfare of 60,000 Japanese in that state, but also the fate of 160,000 Japanese residing in other parts along the Pacific Coast and in the Hawaiian Islands. In a word the import of the law is that the Japanese shall not go beyond the borders of their island empire. Therefore we must endeavor to the utmost to remove this obstacle from our path." Again: The Anti-Japanese agitation in California is admittedly a very difficult problem to solve. It is neither a California problem, nor an international question involving only the two countries, but it is a great racial problem, having its basis in a frank racial prejudice. Therefore the situation should be regarded as one of great importance to the modern world—the solution of which will mark an era in history." Again—If the superiority of the white race can be proved it is clear beyond all doubt that there is no necessity on the part of the whites to start an anti colored race movement, because the latter should of course, through fate be at the meroy of the former as the result of natural selection. Again: If it is the fate of the Japanese to be submissive to the Americans while they continue in their wrongful and unjust attitude we must realize that the future of Japan is to be determined right Now." This is good English, and profound Oriental wisdom and it reveals more than it conceals. This is not a Japanese-American question—it is a world question, and its solution is to come by way of Japan. Of this there is not the slightest doubt. The answer to this question has been adjourned and delayed, avoided and glossed over from time to time by first one or the other white races ever since they took over the government and control of the darker races of the globe, assuming that they are incapable and unfit for self government and that wisdom, morality, Christianity and the science of government began, and will end with "the superior race." The Japanese question which must be settled, and settled right, will fix the status of the darker races in the family of nations for all time to come and destroy forever the fiction that because one man's face is white and another's black or brown, he is therefore fundamentally inferior morally and mentally to his lighter skinned brother. Count Okuma has arrived at the crux of this question with telling force, and the irresistible logic and reason of a past master in Polemical discussion. That the Japanese occupy formidable ground in the discussion, will not I think be denied by any one who has followed closely the arguments for and against the adoption of the anti alien land law passed by the State of California. That bill is purely and simply a bill to legalize race prejudice and it is specifically directed against the Japanese people resident on the Pacific Coast. If its provisions can be enforced in the case of the Japanese, it can with equal facility be applied to any other alien or indigenous race who may, as the Japanese have done in California, excite the "superior race" to acts of hostility, because these alien or indigenous darker races demonstrate their right to survive by their fitness and capacity for sustained effort along industrial and intellectual lines. Is the American white man actually afraid to compete on his own ground with the black, red, yellow, and brown man? It looks that way really. Yonkers, N. Y. John E. Bruce. CANNOT SLEEP ON BED. Twenty Years In Cell Unfits Paroled Convict For Real Bed. Topeka, Kan.—Morgan Wright, sent to prison in 1803 from Cowley county for complicity in the murder of a constable and released on parole by Governor Hodges, found that a free bed was so soft he was unable to sleep his first night out of prison. Wright came to Topeka to thank the governor. He is on his way to see his father in Shawnee, Okla., and then will go to California to begin life anew. "I didn't sleep well last night," said Wright to the governor. "It was the first real bed I have slept in for nearly twenty years. "When I left the prison yesterday I didn't know which way to turn or what to do. It was all so new and strange to me. Every one seemed so busy and in such a hurry that I can't quite understand it. Even the school children rushed along the street. But I think if the world is such a busy place that there must be some place for me, and I am going to try to find it." Because surprisingly little is done by health and other authorities toward preventing the contagion of whooping cough and because ten thousand children are annually sacrificed to this disease, Dr. John L. Morse, of Boston, in the current issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association pleads that the seriousness of this disease be recognized and that its ravages be restricted. Whooping cough, he says, should be made everywhere a reportable disease as in case of smallpox, scarlet fever and diphtheria. The house should be placarded and the inmates instructed by the health authorities as to the seriousness of the disease in infancy and the methods to be employed to prevent contagion. The patients should be separated from the other children in the family, if they are under five years of age, or the patients should be removed to special hospitals, constructed on the "shack" plan in order to give the children the maximum amount of fresh air. Children with catarrhal symptoms, in whom there is any reason to suspect the possibility of whooping cough, should be excluded from school. The community should be required to establish hospitals not only to take care of those children that cannot be or are not properly isolated at home, but also take care of those babies and children ill with the disease that cannot be properly treated in their homes. It can be confidently predicted that when the physicians and the public understand what whooping cough really means, when proper regulations for its control are established and enforced and when sufficient hospital accommodations for its care are provided, whooping cough will cease to be the scourge which it is now.—Clarksburg Telegram.

Mr. Daniel Cole, formerly of this city, but now of Washington, and Mr. Williams, also of the Capitol, visited friends in this place Sunday last. They looked well and seemed to be enjoying themselves. Mr. James Roman, one of our best men and a born hustler, has bought himself a horse and wagon, and is prepared to do all kinds of hauling. His prices are reasonable, and he guarantees his services to be satisfactory. Miss Julia Morgan, one of the teachers in the Piedmont school, was in our city the other day, en route to her home in Charles Town. She was well pleased with her year's work, and friends here were glad to see her. Mrs. Amanda Coleman, wife of Prof. Coleman, of Bluefield Colored Institute, is visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Amos Holley, of Nipetown. She is accompanied by her children, and we hope she and they may enjoy their stay in the country with the home folks.

President Wilson and his official family defied the "13" jinx Friday. The President sat down to breakfast at 8.13 and remained at the table 13 minutes. His first caller, Secretary Daniels arrived at 10.13, and his second caller, Secretary Williams, had 13 letters in his name. The cabinet assembled at 11.13, and Friday afternoon the president went to the capitol to confer with 13 senators.

The trees were painted with autumnal colors—gold and pink and red. "In a meadow a half dozen young women were practicing putting. They looked very smart in their trim golf suits, with skirts of rough home spun, and scarlet jackets. As I watched them, an old farmer and one of his farm hands approached. "Boss," grumbled the farm hand; "them in the medder is scarin' the crows." The old farmer shook his head and sighed: "Ah, Timothy" he said: "times is changed since I was young. In them days the crows scared the girls." WHAT TO DO WITH HIM. "I'm looking for an honest man?" said Diogenes. What will you do with him when you find him? "I'll entice him into a political fight, and see how long he can last." A SWEET REVENGE A woman entered a railway train crowded with winter tourists, and happened to take a seat in front of a newly married couple. She was hardly seated before they began making remarks about her which were loud enough to be understood. They criticised her last year's bonnet and cloak quite freely. The woman, emarting under these attacks on her apparel, and being a shrewd woman withall, put a sudden stop to the conversation by a bit of clever feminine strategy. She noticed that the bride was considerably older than the groom, and in the smoothest of tones, said: "Madam, will you please have your son remove his feet from my seat?" WAITING. Waitin' foh de gen'man Dat's comin' wif de frost Prepared to make de speeches An' to push de laws acrost; Polish up de kitchen, An' fill dat ol' coal bin— An' forget not all you need To stew a terrapin.

J-65 ATT'Y GEN. MAKES WAR ON 7 TRUSTS McReynolds Takes Steps to Renew Fight. MAY REOPEN OLD CASES. Oil, Tobacco and Anthracite Combines, Patten Corner In Cotton, New Haven Railroad, Telephone and Smelter Monopolies Will Be Subject of Inquiries—Investigators at Work. Washington.—Attorney General McReynolds Intends to prosecute most vigorously all corporations and individuals suspected of violating the antitrust law. The attorney general has begun and is directing several important investigations which may lead to new or renewed prosecution of those who. Mr. McReynolds has reason to believe, are breaking or evading the Sherman law. His investigators are looking into the affairs of— First.-James A. Patten and others alleged to have formed a pool in cotton on the New York market. Second.-The New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad transportation monopoly in New England, as it is termed. Third.-The telephone trust which, it is charged, exists in the states of Washington and Oregon. Fourth.-The American Smelter and Refining company, especially with respect to its control of the Federal Smelter company and its acquisition of that company's stock. Fifth.-The American Tobacco company. The attorney general is disatisfied with the decision the government ob 1920 1913, by American Press Association. tained in the United States supreme court. He wishes to test the law again to learn if the order for the company's dissolution cannot be made more effective. The company's retail cigar stores are maintained under the first decision. Sixth.-The Standard Oil company. The renewed action contemplated against this company would be based on the charge that it has not complied with the United States supreme court's order directing it to dissolve into its constituent companies. The decrees in this case have all been handed down and the lower federal court has approved the dissolution plan presented by the company. The contempt, which may be charged, would lie in the alleged failure by the company officers to obey strictly the dissolution plan agreed on. Seventh. - The anthracite carrying railroads and their allied coal mining companies for their 65 per cent carrier contracts with the independent mining companies. These contracts were held to have been in violation of law, but the decision was modified later by the supreme court so as to exclude a number of the contracts. Mr. McReynolds is moving to enforce the anti-trust laws on the assumption that congress will give him all the money necessary for the work. Officials of the Taft administration contended that they were embarrassed by the failure of congress to appropriate $60,000 to enable them to conclude pending investigations. Mr. McReynolds is working now under the appropriation then allowed to Attorney General Wickersham. Before its adjournment congress could make a deficiency appropriation for the department of justice should it become necessary. HON. A. I. BOREMAN HON. A. I.

He studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1843, in which year he located in Parkersburg, and began the practice of his profession, in which he soon rose to distinction. In 1855 he represented Wood county in the General Assembly of Virginia, and by successive elections continued in that capacity until 1860. He became an ardent new State man, and was president of the Second Wheeling Convention which assembled June 11, 1861, and which reorganized the Restored Government of Virginia and prepared the way for the formation of West Virginia. He was elected first Governor of West Virginia; was inaugurated June 20, 1863, and by successive elections served until 1869, when he was elected a member of the United States Senate, in which body he served six years. Thereafter he resumed the practiced of law in Parkersburg, where he was later elected Judge of the Circuit Court, and served eight years, his term beginning January 1, 1889. He was a leader of men in the time in which he lived, not from the intrigues of craft, and cunning, but from an innate and rightful sovereignty of human nature. HORSE LEADS TO CROOKS' DEN Police Follow Unguided Animal to Resort of Thieves. Spokane, Wash. After a horse had led detectives to a house occupied by two men already under bond because of harceny charges warrants were issued charging the two men with attempts to rob. The horse had been left behind in a lumber yard when Detective Benway shot at the men and in return was shot through the left leg. The horse, attached to the wagon, was turned loose and, followed by the two detectives, went to a house in the suburbs that the police alleged was occupied by the men named in the warrants. Ram Grows Oat Crop: Galion, O.-In addition to a fine coat of wool, a ram owned by David Lynch, a farmer, has a covering of flourishing oats. The ram wallowed around in a straw stack and got oats in his wool. Then it was rained on. Next the sun shone brightly. This continued several days, with the result that the oats sprouted. Lynch calculates that, in case of drought he can save this crop of oats since if the rain won't come to the crop he can move the crop to the rain. ACCUSED OF 25 MURDERS Missouri Life Prisoner Said to Have Used an Ax. Leavenworth, Kan.—Twenty-five murders committed with an ax within the last three years in Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Iowa and Illinois are ascribed to Henry Lee Moore, now serving a life term in the Missouri penitentiary, according to a theory formed by M. W. McClaughry, special agent of the department of justice, after an exhaustive study of the so called ax murders. Mr. McClaughry is a son of Warden McClaughry of the federal penitentiary here and has charge of the bureau of criminal identification at the penitentiary. Moore went to the penitentiary at Jefferson City after being found guilty of the murder of his mother and grandmother, Mrs. Mary Wilson and Mrs. George Moore, at Columbus, Mo., in December last year. Moore, on trial, said he had made a study of famous murders, including the Crippen case in England. The department has not asked for more money yet. WEST VIRGINIA'S NEW SONG. (Copyright applied for.)
