A Happy New Year I A bright New Year and a sunny track Along an upward way; And a song of praise on looking back, When the year has passed away, And golden sheaves nor small nor few! This is my New Year's wish for you 1 The Republican leaders in Washington are going to bring forward a tariff reform measure of their own. It takes a good deal of nerve tc do this, in view of the utter failure of their last effort. The harder the political pot boils in West Virginia, the worse the scum that rises to the top. It looks to us as if our Republican friends will get rid of a lot of theirs this year through the medium of defeat. In a speech the other day President Taft said that he likes the White House and hopes to have another four years term there.

This seems strange, for he stays there very little. The Hon. Charles F. Teter, it is announced, will be a candidate for Congressman-at-large from West Virginia. It is generally believed that it will not be ise for Mr.

Teter to spend much money in pursuit of this honor. 0 It is officially stated that the Sherwood pension bill would add $75,000,000 a year th. llra.Hu cnnHllniidv hlirdpn IV HI ai I --that the people are groaning under for the more or less meritorious pensioners on the government's bounty. This Is a fearfully expensive electioneering scheme. The Baltimore Sun says that the West Virginia delegation in Congress is for anybody but Woodrow Wilson for President.

Nevertheless, we can assure the Sun that there is such a tremendous sentiment for Wilson in West Virginia that the party leaders cannot possibly afford to ignore it. The Wilson men will demand a fair chance and there are enough of them to see that they are not muzzled. The managers of the passenger traffic of the eastern railroads announce that hereafter there will be no concessions in passenger fares of any sort below the two-cent rate, with the exception of summer rates to the seashore and through rates from East to West. No matter how important a gathering or convention, there will be nothing doing in cheap fares. The public would probably accept this without protest if the railroads would do the right thing and put all passenger fares, general or special, long or short, on the two-cent basis, which is really ample for legitimate profits.

The Hon. Adam Brown Littlepage, the enterprising and original Congressman from the third district, has introduced into Congress a bill providing that no government license to sell liquor shall be issued to any person until such person shall first be able to show that he possesses a State license. This bill, which is designed to prevent the issuing of government licenses in "dry" territory most certainly be passed. It would effectively put an end to the "speakeasies" that now disgrace so many sections and that cause Uncle Sam to be regarded as a partner 01 bootleggers. If Mr.

Littlepage shall push this bill with his customary vigor and ability, that unfortunate trip to Martinsburg last summer shall be entirely forgiven. cannot but admire the spirit of our hedonistic contemporary, the Wheeling Intelligencer. It seems to realize its highest happiness in landing the pure, good and noble gentlemen who are now being proposed for various places on the Republican ticket, and its boundless joy in this beautiful accupation may be truly accounted as virtue. From President Taft down to the Wheeling constables, and all aspiring Republican can get a halo from the Intelligencer. With such unbounded admiration for gentlemen like Dr.

Hatfield, Mr. Swisher and others who have gained name and fime in West Virginia, we hardly understand how our contemporary can so unvaryingly refrain from giving a Democrat a kind word now and then. That eminent and courageous apostle of progressiveness, Senator La Follette, has been carrying the war into the ene my country, ana wim great ooianess has invaded Taft's own preached the gospel of freedom from corporate domination. From the way the crowds have flocked to hear him, it is evident that the people are hearing him gladly, and though the Senator may not reap the reward of his work by receiving a presidential nomination, it is certain that the great cause he represents is being strengthened. It is said that President Taft intends to follow on his trail in the near future, but we can tell him before he starts that the people are tired of a President who makes so many blunders and causes so many disappointment, and whose only offset to failures is the half-hearted admission that he has a fine judicial mind.

The Republicans of West Virginia have presented the names of three candidates for Governor for this year. H.D.Hatfield, who is president of the State Senate, has been put up by that faction of the party dominated by former Senator Scott, Messrs. Denham and Clarksburg bosses, and politicians of similar methods. Dr. Hatfield is a genuine representative of the political methods so well-known in the "black belt" of West and McDowell and Mercer county, where corruption stinks to the highest heavens.

No. i is Charles W. Swisher, now ot Charleston, who is going largely on his own hook, with the support principally of those who wish fcrrevenge on someone else. No. 3 is Charles W.

Dillion, who made a good record as Tax Commissioner, but who is the choice of the most infamous organization, probab in the State, the notorious whiskey ring of Fayette county. These are the three candidates that the Republicans, so far, have presented for public approbation. It requires a discerning mind to make a choice between them. No wonder that so many respect- able Republicans are anxiously awaiting i the nomination of a man that they can conscientiously if they have to vote the Democratic ticket to do so. ci! Our Washington Letter.

I The contested election case of Wiley against Hughes, involving the seat in I Congress of the Fifth West Virginia dis- 1 trict, is now before the committee on elections No. of which Congressman Ansberry, of Ohio, is chairman, and will jj be taken up for consideration by the com- 1 mittee in a short while. Chairman Ans- berry has announced his intention of! reading carefully every line of the 722 I pages ot the record and of giving careful1 consideration to the case. The testimony I in the case is so voluminous that it would be impossible to give any idea in an ordinary newspaper article of the extent of 1 the frauds alleged to have been committed in Mingo and McDowell counties in the last election. At one precinct in Mingo county the testimony of witnesses on both sides shows that there were not more than twelve negroes in the precinct entitled to vote, and yet the returns show that one hundred and twenty-two votes were cast by negroes.

At another pre- I cinct the testimony of the Democratic 1 election commissioner is that negroes I who had been brought in from Virginia 1 were voted repeatedly under different names, over his protest. He says that when he found the negroes were repeat- ing he got a piece of chalk and marked on the coat of each one as he voted. When the polls closed he said he found many negroes with seven and eight chalk- marks on their coats and one with twelve. 2 At another precinct it was testified that forty-two negroes were brought in from i away, but that only thirty-eight of them voted, the other four having forgotten i- ii.n??ii I weir names, in mtuuwcu v.uumjr wic county court threw into the waste-basket the list of challengers appointed by the Democrats and declared that no challengers would be permitted at any polls. The county court also held that no chal- lengers were needed, as every person registered would have a right to vote.

It was in this county that a negro who could neither read or write was appointed to register the voters. It was also at a precinct in this county that the Republicans selected an election commissioner in place 1 of the regularly appointed Democratic commissioner, the one selected being blind while or.e of the Republican com- 5 missioners at the same precinct was deaf. These are only instances of the numerous frauds charged in the contest and backed up by testimony which has been presented to the committee. 1 Another Republican candidate for of- 5 fice in West Virginia has been nominated i in Washington. At least he has been 1 placed in nomination, for there will be a I vigorous fight against him and it will be a question whether he will actually secure the nomination.

This candidate is Dr. i H. D. Hatfield, now president of the Sen- i ate, whose home is in McDowell county and who was brought into the race at a Washington meeting held for the purpose of endeavoring to defeat Chas. W.

Swisher for the governorship. The bringing of Dr. Hatfield into the race indicates a split in the machine, the greater portion of which is still supporting Mr. Swisher, 1 while the element consisting principally of former Democrats has met in Wash- 1 ington and agreed to support Dr. Hatfield.

Dr. Hatfield is the one big boss of Mc- Dowell county, where Republican majorities are limited only by the necessi- ties. It was he who gave the orders in the last election that no Democratic chal- lengers snouia oe perminea at any 01 me polls. And, in view of the expressed fears of the Wheeling Intelligencer and others who are now backing Dr. Hatfield, that the State-wide primary would be dominated by the tremendous vote pos- sible to be obtained in McDowell and Mingo counties, it would seem that these methods would be depended upon to try and bring about his nomination.

Senator Chilton has been invited to address the West Virginia Society of New York in New York City on january 25. He has accepted the invitation. The omnibus war claims bill has been prepared and is ready to introduce. It will carry for West Virginia claimants something like $45,000 as payment for 1 property taken or destroyed during the Civil War. I While no formal announcement of the a fact has been made, it became apparent during the recent visit here of AttorneyGeneral Conley that he will be a candi- date for Congressman of the second dis- trict and that he will probably receive the nomination without opposition.

As Mr. t) Brown is the only announced candidate nn npmnrnlir cirtf? anri VII lliv IV VlliVVI Ull VI vv I UIIW pi WM will receive a renomination without any 7 opposition, il would seem that the contest for the coming year has taken definite t( shape early in the campaign. Mr. Brown and his friends seemed pleased with the outlook and express no fear of the result. 7 During the holidays Congressman Brown has been at his home in Kingwood a and during a portion of the time his sec- retary has been there also.

Mr. Brown's office is full of some choice selections of documents of special interest to the peo- pie in his district which he is distributing among them as far as he can where they will be the most appreciated. Sunday, January 7, has been set apart by the House as a day of special memor- lal services commemorative of the late ti Senator Stephen B. Elkins. Several West Virginians are expected to take part in the exercises.

A pleasant gathering of the Democratic 8 delegation of West Virginia, as it should ri be, was had the other day, when the four a Democratic Congressmen and Ranklin tc Wiley, who is contesting the election of Congressman Hughes, all had lunch to- it gether in the House restaurant. George 1. Neal, of Huntington, vice-chairman of V. the Democratic State Committee, and Harry L. Snyder, of the Shepherdstown Register, were also in the party.

Senator Chilton has been looking into the Virginia debt question quite extensively with a view to meeting the condition which has existed since the decis- ion of the Supreme Court that West Vir- a ginia must pay at least seven million dollars, with the question of an additional I. twenty-one million dollars as yet unde- tprminpH Hp hnnincr that hp mav bring about some legislation which in some way will relieve the West Virginia taxpayers of this enormous burden. Congressman Brown is interested in the fight over the postmastership at Pied- mont. G. C.

Gosnorn is the present ni postmaster, but his term has expired and he is endeavoring to obtain a reappointment. He spent several days in Washington in his own ehalf but finds that he will have a hard fight before he can land, tn Former Senator Scott, who is one of the patronage distributors for West Virginia, is said to favor j. F. Harrison for the la postmastership. sa Sank Officers Elected.

Officer Prince arrested three welldressed and apparently well-to-do young men on train No. 39, B. O. Railroad, last Friday evening for drinking. The conductor preferred charges and the detective happened to be on the train.

They were ta -en to Martinsburg and later taken to Harper's Ferry for a hearing. All confessed their error and were much humiliated. They were professional men and one was an official in his present place of residence. Clifton Manuel, a Shepherdstown colored man who has been living in Hagerstown for some time past, is in jail in the latter place, having been arrested for cutting Robert Williams, another negro, with a penknife. The two got into a quarrel and there was a rough-house time, which was ended when Manuel drew a knife and slashed Williams.

The wound was not serious, but Cliff was arrested and jailed. At a subsequent trial both were found guilty and each fined and sentenced to ten days in jail. Charles Marshall, aged 30 years, of Sharpsburg, was crushed by a large rock and almost instantly killed at the Virginia ore bank near Bakerton last Wednesday. Very little is known by his fellow-workmen as to how the accident occurred, except that the unfortunate man was at work down in the pit, when a large rock, weighing several hundred pounds, fell from above and struck him on the head, killing him instantly. The body was placed on a boat and taken across the river to Antietam, and from thence conveyed to his home.

Marshall was a native of Sharpsburg, where he resided all his life. He formerly worked at farming and was also a stone mason. His wife, who was a Miss Huyett, one child, ind a brother, John, survive, together with his parents. 40 Blockaded. household in Shepherdstown Should Know how to Resist it.

ARE MICROBES IN YOUR SCALP i It Has Been Proved That Microbes Cause Baldness. Professor Unna of Hamburg, Germany, and Dr. Sabourar.d, the leading French I dermatologist, aiscovered that a microbe causes baldness.

Their theory has time and again been amply verified through research experiments carried on under the observation of eminent scientists. This microbe lodges on the is the natural hair oil, and when permit- ted to flourish it destroys the hair follicles and in time the pores entirely close, and the scalp gradually takes on a shiny appearance. When this happens there is no hope of the growth of hair being revived, i We have a remedy which will, we honestly believe, remove dandruff, exterminate the microbe, promote good circulation in the scalp and around the hair roots, tighten and revitalize the hair roots, and overcome baldness, so long as there is any life left in the hair roots. We back up this statement with our own personal guarantee that this remedy called Rexall "93" Hair Tonic will be supplied free of all cost to the user if it fails to do as we state. It will frequently help to restore gray and faded hair to its original color, providing loss of color has been caused by 1 disease; yet it is in no sense a dye.

Rexall "93" Hair Tonic accomplishes these results by aiding in making every hair root, follicle, and pigment gland strong ai.d active, and by stimulating a natural flow of coloring pigment through- out the hair cells. i we exact no ooiigauons or promises? we simply ask you to give Rexall "93" Hair Tonic a thorough trial and if not satisfied tell us and we will refund the money you paid us for it.
