A FITTING TRIBUTE.
Hon. John S. Horan, state fire mar
shal. in the January Bulletin, pays a
very fitting tribute to Fire Chief Mar
tin Quinn upon his record for the
past year. Chief Quinns annual re
port showed that Martinsburg'a fire
loss for the year was only $12.000—
the best in the state. Huntington
comes second with $23,000.
Mr. Horan makes special mention
of Chief Quinn's work, saying his rec
ord is not only due to efficient equip
ment and fire fighting, but to the elim
ination of fire hazards as well.
Chief Quinn is entitled to all of the
praise the state department can give
him. When the officials visited him
and inspfMJted the equipment and its
maintenance they never hesitated to
compliment him and his assistants.
This is a matter in which all Mar
tiusburg people ought to be interest
ed. and they should feel proud that
their fire department is recognized
as the best in the state as well as j
their loss the lowest

HOW WILL THEY VOTE?
Will the Congressmen who spoke
Uajf mass-meeting recently in Wash
ington eaUed to oppose the Presi
dent's defense program, and cordially j
indorsed by Mr. Bryan, vote for the
army and navy appropriation bills?
If they will not vote for bills making j
the army and navy adequate for de- i
fsnsive purposes, they have no right >
to vote money for the present estab- j
lishments.
If we do not need an army and
navy to defend the country, then we
ought not to waste $200,000,000. more
or less, on the present army and
navy, winch no person familiar with
military and naval matters believes
could defend the country. It is the
simplest common seuse that we should
have a sufficient army and navy, or
save what the present forces cost us. 1
HELP TO FOREIGNERS.
Several corporations are taking
very practical and energetic meas
ures to promote Americanization of
alien employes. Promotion will be
limited to citizens and persons who I
have taken out their first papers. In
some cases wage advances are prom
ised for those who learn English. A
person who obtains naturalization for
the purpose of improving the condi
tions of his employment may not at
the moment undergo any change of
sentiment.
But it is very important that lie
should acquire the language of the |
country, so that he will not be oblig
ed to associate wholly with a group
of l'oreign-born cut off from the great
er part of the community by inability
to communicate. The man who has ,
become au American citizen will ac
quire the habit of thinking of him-,
self as an American and not a for
eigner.

* JUSTICE REFUSED.
Best of all proof of the justice of
the appeal of Secretary Lansing to
- the belligerents to write a new sec
tion to international law relative to
the carrying of guns by merchantmen
of warring countries has come to light
with empraslfl. English new - papers
declare the note would not have been
different if it had been signed by
Bernstorff. the German ambassador at
Washington. Berlin newspapers de
clare that Grey, the British foreign
minister, must have suggested the mai
ls ter to’ Lansing. Could the exact jus
tice of any principle be more bril
liantly shown?
The fapt probably is that no mat
ter hoi just is the American request,
it will not bo adopted at this time,
though there is all reason why it
should tie. Ships of the belligerents
are coming into American ports with
guns mounted on deck. While inter
national law permits such vessels to
carry such guns for purely defensive
purpose:-, the belligereui nations
wtyich are specializing, in submarine*
regard such gum as indication u> bat
tle, as excuses fur standing away and
letting go a torpedo, violating mean
while those principles of huinaiiitur
ianism for which the United States is
contending. *
K. Hence the dilemma, the diplomatic
cul de sac. the hue r.-f ftiiftmatiftnul
complexity which confronts this coun
try in its efforts to be exactly neu
tral. Critics of this government, 11
f they love, will turn from captiousne*;
'■ helpful suggestion.
SENATOR ENGLAND
Among the candidates this year
. there is none more popular or perhaps
■ better known than Senator E. T. Eng
•; land, of Logan, who came rapidly to
the front during his term in the state
senate. The senator comes from a
section that has never had recogni
tion on the Republican state ticket,
, and his frieuds believe that they are
entitled to a place this year, that sec
* tion always rolling up a large major
| Ity for the ticket no matter what
other parts of the state did.
In seeking this place Senator Eng
land stands squarely oil his record as
*a Republican and an office holder
In season and out of season he has
i always fought for party principles.
; He has never gone as'ray with any
: faction, but has stood true to the
cause and given liberally of his time
and means to promote his party’s wel
fare.
Senator England is a thoroughly
trained lawyer, and enjoys a large*
practice in his home city. He is re*
I cognized as one of the leaders in his
pFrofession. having been connected
with many important cases, some oi
which he fought through the State
I Supreme co.rt with marked success.
While a busv man, he has found time
to devote his energies to education,
assisting the schools of Logan in
every manner possible.
The office of attorney general calls
for the very best talent in the state
because of the many important ques
tions arising and the Virginia debt
being far from settled. It will require
all of the resources of an able lawyer,
and the Republican party cannot af
ford to make a mistake. Senator
England measures up to the require
ments, and should the party honor
hint with the nomination and election
he will prove that he is the right
man in the right place.
A STRONG CANDIDATE
Hon. Howard Sutherland, congress
man-at-large, is most prominently
mentioned as a candidate for Con
gress in this district. For some
months the report has been current
that he would seek the U. S. Senator
ial nomination, but to date be ha»
not given his friends a definite ans
wer so far as can be learned. Should
he ask for congressional honors, .Mr
Brown will realize that he has met
V-. strongest opponent since entering
public life. As to the latter he would
prove a strong contender. a3 there
is no man in the state who enjoys
a wider circle of friends.
Mr. Sutherland has proven a broad
minded, active and alert official.
Since entering congress he has neg
lected no opportunity to work for the
benefit of his constituents. Friend*
and foe alike he has treated with the
utmost courtesy and consideration
devoting his (time ungrudgingly to
promote their welfare.
Popular at home and in Washing
ton. it matters not what office he ma>
seek his friends, and they are legion
will not hesitate to rally to liis sup
port and show their appreciation fo?
his good work. Perhaps there is no
man in the state who can command
a greater following, and his entrance
into the race for the honors of either
the upper or lower house will be
cause for genera! rejoicing among his
hosts of real warm-hearted friends.
DEEDS, NOT WORDS
lartlnsburg People Have Absolute
Proof of Deeds at Home.
It's not words but deeds that prove
rue merit.
The deeds of Doan's Kidney Pills,
For Martinsburg kidney sufferers.
Have made their local reputation.
Proof lies in the testimony of
Martinsburg people.
Mrs. \V. O. Householder, 254 K.
Burke St., Martinsburg. says: “My
kidneys were causing me quite a
bit of trouble. The kidney secretions
were unnatural and 1 iiad constant,
dull, dragging pains through my back
nd loins. I thought that the trouble
came from my kidneys, so 1 decided
to try Doan’s Kidney pills, because
they had always been recommended
o highly. They soon relieved me of
the pains and my kidneys became
normal. J don’t hesitate to recom
mend Doan’s Kidney Pills as being
the best of kidney medicines.”
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t,
simply ask for a kidney remedy- get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that
Mrs. Householder had. Foster-Mil

E. T. ENGL AND,
President of the West Virginia State Senate.
Senacor England was born and principally raised in Jackson
County, although a portion of his boyhood days were spent in Roane
County. I le graduated at the Concord Normal School, at Athens,
in Mercer County, and then further pursued his education in college,
graduating and having conferred upon him the degrees of B. S. and
L. 1.. B. He worked out his own education, having no one to
assist him financially except for two or three years while he lived
with one of his uncles. He started the practice of the legal profes
sion in the year 1899. at Oceana, in Wyoming County; moved to
Logan in the year 1901, and ha3 continued the practice of his
profession at that place ever since; has been connected with many
very important cases, some of which finally reached the Supreme
Court of the United States, and were there deciddd by that tribunal.
The announcement or Senator England has met with general
and enthusiastic approval in every section of the State. There are
many reasons why he should receive this nomination. Among others
are the following:
First: He is a lawyer of recognized ability, being eminently
qualified to fill the position to which he aspires.
Second: Hr has stood for the progressive measures that were
advocated in the Republican platffirrn
Third: He has never been allied with any faction of his party;
if nominated, the entire Republican party will unite on him, insur
ing his election.
Fourth: He is \ fine campaigner, and comes from a section
of the State which should bn rebogto’zed.
Fifth: During his ter n of office, as 1 member of the State
Senate, and President of that body, hr (food fo>- a Square deal for
all" .and’‘ Special privileges to none. '
His friends *a> that if the p ph; nominate and elect him the
State will have a strong lev ye? Attorney-General; and that hei
interests will be properly looked after ficrrt a legal standpoint at
a time when the Vhginia debt arid many other important matters
will have to be handled by the Attorney-General,

Charles A. Wingerter, Wheeling; Dr.
E. H. Vickers, Morgantown, and E. E.
| White, Glenwhite.
Wheeling.—The Wheeling Mold and

1 j order for 36,000 6-inch shells for the

fined for train riding.

vanced years have no. terrors for

i Taylor, aged 57 both of Malta, Mor
i gan county, O., appeared before the
