Glen Jean has not yet lost a game this season, but when they come up against Beckley they will probably meet their Waterloo, and every enthusiast should turn out and help root the Beckleyites to victory.

To be it is not very good material, but the lest obtainable. A party without refill, or vvlioso small record so bed that it cannot be defended, is not a vory position when comes to speech making for campaign purpoi-es. The general point of Democratic attack is the tariff, and yet cannot find In a single speech any reference to only Democratic tariff law of the past luuf century. There is no allusion whatever to the conditions of business, 01' labor, or capital, under the operation of the Wilson-Gorman law. Champ Clark, Underwood, Sulzer, Byrd, Borland and the two accidental members, Havens and FOES, made long and studied attempts to condemn the present tariff law, but all sang much the same song.

All these protective tariff haters had a good word to say for the tariff of 1S46 and 1857, which brought such disaster to American industry. Kone of them however, had a kind word to say for the Wilson-Gorman tariff, but ah were quite sure if they had the opportunity, they would revise the present law so far downward that" the American consumer would be able to buy anything he Wanted from any part of the as tong as he had anything to buy It with. The Democratic tariff talker does not seem to realize that-when we open our ports to the importation of cheap, foreign made goods, that an equivalent amount of American made goods must always be displaced, and that the result must be a closing of our factories and millions of Idle men. Some of these Democratic orators, if not all, would increase our free list so as to include lumber, woohand woolens, cotton goods, agricultural implements, boots and shoes, and all other products of leather, and hundreds of other products which could not be made in this country without adequate protection. This would soon mean putting American labor on the same level with that of the.

poorest paid countries abroad. It would mean that we would have to compete not only with continental Europe, but with Japan and other Asiatic countries. Republicans State Facts. While the Democrats have been making pleas on these lines, such Republican leaders as Payne, Fordney, Boutell, Hill, Longworth, McKinley, Hamilton. Townsend, Heeder, Campbell, Young and many others have been contending that the present tariff law is the best that We ever had or at least the best that we could get, and that under its operation both, from a revenue and Industrial standpoint, the country is reaping such benefits as we have never before enjoyed.

It Is interesting to compare these Democratic and Republican speeches. The Democratic speeches are of course entirely negative, excepting where assertions are made as to what the party would do if it had the chance, but there Is no mention made of what it did do when it did have the chance. On the other hand, the Republican speeches are filled with tables of figures, with the records of commerce, with the amounts of revenue, with the increased number of those employed, and the increased wages which have come under our new law. The Democratic orator claims that prices have been ralsed--because of the tariff; the Republican orator tells us in reply that the tariff was reduced on every article upon which the price haa been raised. These speeches which were made while the sundry civil appropriation ull was under debate prove that the tariff is to be one of the principal issues of the campaign, or rather not the question so much as the discussion of the results of the operation of the law under which we are now living.

Of course, when it comes to this point, the Republicans have a far better argument; in short, the Democrats have no argument at all, because no one can conceive how present industrial and financial conditions could be bettered under any revision that could be brought about by the Democratic party. It is believed now that the session will be prolonged until after July 1, but that the result will mean the passage of several very Important bills and the enactment of most beneficent legislation. There seems no doubt whatever but that the railroad bill will be passed and receive the indorsement of almost the entire Republican vote In both houses, as well as the approval of the president. It seems, too, quite likely that a postal savings bank law will be enacted. As to the rest of the legislation pending, it Is too early to predict, but already It is safe to assume that the work the first congress under the administration of I President Taft In Its special and first I teeilon will be equal to, if not exceed that of previous eoncrtii for man? yean.

Democratic "Keynote." Champ Clark's keynote speech attacking tho Payne tariff law probably will appeal to practical politicians as a clever utterance, but since Is neither frank nor fair, It will not appeal to tho great body of Ameriesit voters who are beginning to demand a "square deal" even In the discussion of partisan Issues. Mr. Clark not only deals In those half truths which frequently are as bad ao falsehoods, but deliberately misquotes Chairman Payne In an effort to be facetious. Nothing in tho Republican leader's speech defending the tariff law which bears his name can be tvisted or distorted into meaning what. Mr.

Clark professes to believe it means reductions of duties increases i cost to the consumer." Mr. Payne cited higher prices for wool and lumber, despite decreases in tho schedules bearing on those subjects, to show that other influences ilmn tarlft duties are at work to hoist values. r. Clurk's Inability to meet tlie issue caused him to misquote IiiJ antagonist, offering the CKiiest way of escape -n a serious dilemma, in which such logic as tha Missouri statesman possesses was unequal to the. task cut out.

If the Democrats hope to win on a campaign of misquotations and misrepresentations, they have misjudged the Intelligence and integrity of American citizens. The campaign "keynote" is a distinct disappointment even to Republicans, who would like to see a little originality injected into Democratic methods to "add to the gaiety of nations" and to give spice to the forthcoming Commercial Tribune.

Attorney M. L. Painter Addresses the Republican Voters on the Subject. Gold and the Tariff. After making tion of conditions affecting the cost of lo the voters of Raleigh county: living, the special committee appointed by congress to inquire into the subject, has arrived at the conclusion tiTat The primary election, at which the standard bearers of the republican par- the great increase in the production of ty for the count of Rale 'g to be voted gold the world over has brought about for at the coming November election, unfortunate consequences.

Those thoughtless persons who were quick to lay the blame for high prices on the new tariff law should find this report particularly instructive. The cost of necessities of life have been constantly and more or less steadily advancing for more than a decade before the new tariff went into effect. And it Is a significant coincidence that almost uniformly throughout the world the Increase In food prices has been coincident with the increase of gold production. During the year 1908 the total gold production of the world was $443,434,527. During the following year the total reached $457,567,280, or an Increase of more than $14,000,000.

Of this Increase more than $5,000,000 is credited to the United States, and our gold imports were heavy In addition to our own supply. As waa pointed out in the house of representatives "the other day by Mr. Payne, whose name the tariff bill bears, one reason for the Increasing cost of living is not only the great Increase In the production of gold, but the cheaper methods of producing It. In the face of these clearly established conditions, It Is puerile to charge the tariff with responsibility for the higher prices. The cost of living has Increased even on articles that have been substantially, reduced in the tariff schedules.

As pointed out by Mr. Payne, all kinds of farm products, meats, butter, eggs, poultry, hides, leathers, shoes and cotton were reduced in the tariff schedules, yet the housekeepers of this country know that the price of butter, vegetables, eggs, shoes, have not been reduced. The price of food and clothing have risen la this country with the general tendency of increased prices of such articles all over the world, and entirely Irrespective of tariffs. As was pointed out in the Journal tie other day, progressing nicely, the new tariff has reduced leather and shoe schedules to the point of allowing American dealers to go to England and buy shoes to bring to America and sell them here in competition with American-made shoes, yet the man, or woman, who goes to buy a pair of shoes, finds that he must pay more than he did several years ago for the same quality of City Journal. will be selected, is near at hand.

The republican party being in the majority in this county it is not only its privilege but its duty to select candidates who will command the respect, if not the support, of all the voters of the county irrespective of parties. The majority, nay, the whole mass of voters of Raleigh county have a right to decide who shall hold the offices to be fdled by the election this coming fall. We should judiciously select our standard bearers and select men who can be and who will be of the most benefit to the people of Raleigh county as a whole. We should select men with character pure and urfSullied. No more important official will be selected than that of County Superintendent of Free Schools, therefore, he should be a man well qualified, and intellectually, and a man of temperate habits.

As a student 1 knew him in Marshall College and while in that institution of learning he proved himself to be an apt scholar possessing much ability, preparing himself for his future work as an educator in the state of West Virginia. As a teacher he stands high in the estimation of the people who know him and he has the respect of all the teachers of the county. He holds a first grade certificate and is known and spoken of as being a man interested in educational work. In his daily life I find him to be a perfect gentleman.

He is an honest, temperate and conscientious Christian man, having no bad habits. All who know him know this to be true. We can make no mistake in placing the name of U. S.

He is wanted in this state for violating the conditions of his pardon. Forgey With Thomas Collins held up and robbed a Chesapeake Ohio train near Huntington in December, 1892.

The city of Amoy is ou an island of the same name. For upward of 1,000 years It has been an important trading place. The population of the- island is estimated at over 400,000. and it has been said that there are something like 5,000,000 dead bodies packed in its soil. For many centuries hillsides of the city have lioen used as a burying ground.

Now the city and the cemetery are hopelessly mixed. The graves touch one another at every point and form a solid white surface of rock, brick, porcelain and covering more than square feet. Near one of the joss houses UO.OQrt bodies are buried vertically to save space. They stand on plot of ground of as many feet square. The wells from which the city draws its water supply are shallow and are sunk on the edge of graveyards and even among the tombs themselves.

The water is muddy and is colored by the perpetual turning up of the. soil. It has no sewers, and the streets vary from two feet to six feet in width. Jw wheeled vehicles can use them. Here and there Is an open place or plnzn, dug out so ns to bo a huge receptacle Into which tho streets discharge their refuse.

Filth abounds, and Its twin sister, disease, flourishes. The atmosphere Is Indcn with noxious smells, and the burial of the dead goes on at on alarming rate..
