TheCeredo Advance. T. T. McDOUOAL, KDITOl AND PSOPRIKTON. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23, 1908. ANNOUNCEMENTS. FOR COUNTY CLERK. 1 hereby an nun nee that I am A candidate for the uflice of Clerk of the County Court of Wayne county, subject to the action of the Democratic party. A. W. Pmkston. Weare authmized toannounce J. G. Lambert as a candidate for the Democratic nomination for the office of Couoty Clerk, subject to the ac tion of the Democratic Primary. COUNTY COMMISSIONER. We are authorized to announce W. W. Porter as a candidate for the nomination for Commis sioner of the County Court, subject, however, to the action of the Democratic Primary. Di'king the fiscal year ending June 30, 1908, the government has spent tor rent of buildings in the District of Columbia the sum of •415, 022 03, or, in round numbers, ♦ 410,OUU. That in for the District alone. Several years ago Den. Corbin in his annual report said that the early marriages of officers in the army should be discouraged on ac count of the insufficient pay, and ! now I’resident Kliot, of Harvard, I urges the young college instructor to remain si* gle until his salary j “will enable him to support a wife and children comfortably but not in ! luxury.” Truly Mammon is su preme. On*k of the important matters to be taken up at the next annual raeet ing of the State railroad commis sions in New ^ ork is the abatement of the tramp nuisance, and the rail roads of the country are about to take concerted action w ith this end in.view. Figures just made public y> show the seriousness of the prob '* lem the railroads of the country cope with in dealing with trespassers indicate that the Pennsylvania Rail road alone lost *436,000 last year in thelts by tramps. Ii is announced that the Presi dent’s present intention is to remain at the White House until the returns from the Chicago convention are in and then betake himself to Sagamore Hill where he will be simply an “interested observer” and that poli ticians will not be encouraged to make pilgrimages there. It is safe to venture the prediction, however, that President Roosevelt’s last an nual message to Congress and many other important tasks that will af fect the country will be made to fit in perfectly with the rest and recre ation sought for. Fkom Washington comes the re port that President Roosevelt will spend the first year after hie retire ment from office in travel outside the United States. While his itin erary has not been determined, ac cording to report, his plan is to see some uf the little-frequented por tions of foreign lands, and, of course, the prediction is made that the President will indulge his fond ness for hunting big game. The President is quoted as saying in this connection: “If William Taft is nominated and elected President, it would make impossible any criti cism if I were abroad, to the effect that I was dictating to him and that he was being followed, or that I had tried to dictate and had been turned down in my suggestions.” — -— -- Home of the local newspapers in reporting the proceedings of the the New 1 ork Republican Conven tion have intimated that “Roose velt influence” inspired the delegates to cheer the Piesident to the echo and give Hughes a half-hearted ^ ®end-off. It is obvions, however, that Governor Hughes himself is to Marne for the lack of enthusiasm in « bis behalf. He has not lifted a finger for the Presidency and it i* hardly reasonable to expert others to grow enthusiastic over or make sacrifices for a candidate who makes . none for himself, aud who seeming ly mistakes indifference for inde pendence. The Presidency is too fine a prize to be forced upon any man, and with available men in the field, great and ambitious to win, it ie not at all likely that those who ^ieplay neither a normal nor a healthy desire to be President will ever gain the support of their party. It is now “neck and neck** with Scherr and Swisher, one of whom in likely to be the next Governor of West Virginia. Mr. ilkarnk made a clean fight while be was in the race and be made many friends, too, who will remember him some other day. It begins to look like Bryan will have some trouble in securing the nomination for President for the third time, although be ia still in the lead. Some of the most promi nent Democrats in this State are op posed to bis nomination. C. Wood Daiiy, a prominent attorney and Democratic poli tician, who was mentioned as a candidate for Governor four aud eight years ago, died of pueu raonia at Klkius last Thursday. He was fifty-eight years of age. TiiEsecoud annual meeting of the West Virginia Fish and Game Protective Association will be held at Wheeling on the 2Uth inst..beginning at 10 o’clock, a. m. The Association wants the co operation of every true sportsman in the state and to thut end ex tends them a cordial invitation to be present and become mem bers. “Ironton is to have another daily newspaper,” {.ays The Iron tonian. It will be an evening paper, and will be edited by Prof. K. L. Marting, at present one of the faculty of the Ironton High School. James M. Howell, for. merly with I'he Register, is to be city editor, and Roy Brammer, until recently business manager of the Huntington Dispatch, is to be manager. How many women know that cards of hooks and eyes can be bought that require neither nee dle nor thread. Such a card con* taiuiug either black or white hooks in all sizes, one and a half dozen to the card, may be had for a few cents. They are made on the principle of the price tags at* tached to articles in the shops and can he fixed to any garment in a second so that they will never come off. Think of this for a time-saver! —The New Idea Woman’s Magazine for May. Senator Scott, of this State, chairman of the committee on pub lic buildings and grounds, in a re cent speech on the floor of the Sen ate, made the following statement: “I do not believe that the expendi ture of a single dollar for tho city of Washington in order to beautify the capital of the nation and erect its workshops has ever been criti cise* i by an American taxpayer or an American voter. 1 do not be lieve that if today the Congress of the l nited States was to pass a bill appropriating even *32.000,000 for the purchase of sites and tho erec tion of buildings to complete the plans I have detailed there would be a dissenting voice in the United States. I do not believe there would be one criticism from any paper in the United States. On the other hand I think it would he one ot the most popular measures ever passed by Congress, and one that would be met with the heartiest ap proval everywhere.” -— It ha* been announced from the White House that the President has •elected for the Comptroller of the Currency, Lawrence O. Murray, Assistant Secretary of the Depart ment of Commerce and Labor, vice William B. Kidgley, who resigntd on March 28th. However, Mr. Murray, who has been ill at Atlan tic ( ity, has not yet been appointed and for the first time in many years the office of Comptroller of the Cur rency is vacant. 1 he office is, mean while, in charge of Thomas p. Kane, the deputy comptroller, and’ Mr. Kane is «aid to know more about national banks and the bank ing system than any other man in tins country. Mr. Kane entered that service as a stenographer in the Post-Office Department and he has advanced entirely on his own merit to his present position and today has the fullest confidence of Presi dent Kooseveit and the Secretary of tbs Treasury. To Suppress ftnarchu. In one of the shortest messages which ho has yet transmitted to Congress, President Roosevelt a few days ago called the attention of that body to the necessity for fur ther legislation on tbs subject of sosroby. With the message he transmitted a report reviewing the legal phases of the question by Attorney General Bonaparte. The message of the President is as follows: “To the Senate and House of Rep resentatives: “I herewith submit a letter from the Department of Justice, which explains itself. Under this opinion, I held that existing statutes give the President the power to prohibit the Postmaster General from being used as an instrument in the com mission of crime; that is, to pro hibit the use of the mails for the advocacy of murder, arson aud treason, and I shall act upon such construction. Unquestionably, however, there should be further legislation by Congress in this matter. When compared with the suppression of anarchy, every other question sinks into insigniHea* c *. The anarchist is the enemy of humanity, the enemy of all mankind, and his is a deeper degree of criminality than any other. No immigrant is allowed to come to our shores if he is an anarchist, and no paper published here or abroad should be permitted circula tion in this country if it propogates anarchistic opinions. 'I HEonoiiK Roosevelt.” The Storu ot Tonu. lony is a little Italian boy whose sad history is similar to that of thousands in New York City. When he drifted into the Receiving Home of the Children’s Aid Society, he heard, lor the first tune in years, of fathers and mothers. These char acters appeared so often in the ma tron’s stories; they were so kind, and they loved little boys so much, that Tony became filled with a long ing that he had never known—a longing for a father and mother of Ins own. And every night he pray ed that he might find parents. Some months ago Tony’s story and picture appeared in the Deline ator. There were many who de sired the little boy and many of the homes were such good ones that it was hard to arrive at a decision. The letter that finally turned the balance read: “When your letter came with the doubt in it, our little boy could not ea*. his dinner. He says he shall never believe God loves him any more, because he prayed so hard to have Tony for his brother, and even got the playthings ready, and almost every other hoy in town has a brother or sister. Unless he is given out to people of wealth and you could still give him to us, I feel sure our home of fers great advantages tor fresh air, near to nature on every side, and a chance to learn music, and loving care together with other require ments.” \\ e are told on high authority that the “earnest prayer of a right eous man availeth much.” The prayers of two innocent children must be measured by the same measure, for Tony has gone where father, mother and brother - love awaited him, and the hearts of two children have been made happy.

Bryan for President, John J. Corn well in his paper—The Hampshire Review—ssys: “The action of the State Com mittee in endorsing, officially, the candidacy of W. J. Bryan, for President, at Parkersburg was ill advised and, in our bumble judg ment, a grave political mistake. If Mr. Bryan has had s more loyal supporter in this State than the writer, or a warmer admirer, we cannot now name him. Months ago we declared, in these columns, that we favored his nomination and advised against any effort to obtaiu delegates from this Stale hostile to him, because we believed him the most available candidate. We ad mit that siuce that lime his availa bility has been greatly lessened by the action of the Populists and liearst's Independence League, which means that the progressive or radical vote of the country will be divided between three candidates, which will certainly lessen Bryan’s chances for election. * * * • * * * It has ever been a serious handi cap to Mr. Bryan in his past cam paigns that in the forefront of his prouesi-ioiiH have appeared too con spicuously two classes of leaders, the socialistic, unreasoning enthu siast and the demagogue and poli tical time server who will endorse anything and everything to be in control and in popular favor. In both of these the sane and patriotic people of the country stand in awe and if this campaign is to be by and tor these two elements the re sult can be easily foretold.“ In another article Mr. Cornwell says: “ 1 ho nomination of Tom Wat son, of Georgia, for President, by the National Populist convention, will mean the lo*s of many votes to Mr. Bryan throughout the western states. That is a lamentable faet to Democrat** who have entertained high hopes ot Bryan’s election, but a fact it will prove itself to be, although it may not cost him any states or electoral votes. Watson is a very brilliant man, a stirring speaker and it is more than likely that he will make Bryan the special object of his attack, rather than the Republican candidate. Just as Mr. Bryan charges President Roosevelt with appropriating his policies, so Watson and the Populists denounce Bryan for utilizing theirs and it must be confessed that their nation al platform does not vary much from the personal platform, on several occasions enunciated by Bryan.” rt Good Loser. lion.
