WEDNESDAY, MAY 0, 1908.
Pennsylvania Republicans en
dorsed Senator Knox for President.
West Virginia will send a solid
Tatt delegation to tbe Chioago
convention.
-- -
The three candidates named by
the Republicans at Parkersburg for
the Supreme bench—Robinson,
Miller and V illinms— are men well
qualified for the State's highest law
tribunal. They all stand in the
front rank as lawyers.
If Congress enacts into law a
provision in the sundry civil bill
reported to the House, iron tablets
bearing Lincoln's celebrated ad
dress at Gettysburg will be placed
in the seventy seven national ceme
teries throughout the United States.
Tbe sum of $3,000 is made availa
ble for the purpose.
On the eve of another great
election it is good to reflect that
the American people have never yet
chosen for their leader a man of
evil life nor of empty head and it
is a remarkable testimony to their
good s<in»e and decent morals.
From Washington down the list
averages in dignity and ability
above that of any of the rulers of
other cpuntries.
The thoughtless observer will
say that the President was beatsn
in his fight for four battleships.
The thoughtful observer will real
ize otherwise, lie will see that
out of the fight has come a pledge
by the Senate leaders to provide for
two battleships every year until the
navy is commensurate with the
country’s needs. The President
would far rather have the Senate
committed to atwo battleship policy
continuously than to have gained
lour ships this year.
The development of the past
week in the financial world whioh
commanded overwhelming attention
was the successful international
flotation ot the Pennsylvania Rail
road’s $40,000,000 loan, by the as
sured sale of that amount of forty
year four per cent bonds. The im
portant significance ot this trans
action is the proof it affords of the
return of confidence in the future ot
our greatest railroads, aud it means,
of course, that Pennsylvania is to
continue its preparations for hand
ling increasing traffic. With the
Pennsylvania prepared so to in
crease its facilities it is fair to as
sume that other great systems hold
similar views.
----
Whisky manufactured abroad
and alleged to be misbranded under
the American pure food law will
hereafter be allowed to come into
the country, after which it will be
subject to the adjudication of the
courts under that law according to
a ruling which has been arranged
recently among the departments of
State, Justice, the Treasury and
Agriculture. This new ruling is
the result of an investigation of a
complaint from l<ondon regarding
alleged discrimination against cer.
tain shipments of Scotch whisky,
and is a reversal of the former reg
ulation which made it possible to
hold up such shipments before they
entered into the marketa of this
country.
The President has once more
struck the keynote of exact justice,
in his latest special message to
Congress he denounced the boycott
and the blacklist. He deprecates
the demagogue and the agitator.
Then he says, “Hot hie counterpart
in evil is to be found in that par
ticular kind of millionaire who is
almost the least enviable and ie
certainly the least admirable, of all
our oilizens; a man of whom it has
been well said that bis face has
grown bard and cruel while his
body baa grown soft; whose eon is a
fool aod his daughter a foreign
princess; whcse nominal pleasures
are at beet thoae of tasteless and ex
travagant luxury, and whose real
slalight, whose real life work, is the
accumulation and nse of power in
its moat sordid mud least elevating
form.’*
Ex-President Cleveland is
■aid to b« hopelessly ill with oanoer
of the stomach.
(Ton. C. M. Wetzel, the leader
of the minority party in the laat
legislature and who baa been men
tioned as the Democratic candidate
for Governor, failed to be re-nomi
nated for Houee of Delegatee in
bis own county of Jeffereon a few
daya ago. It ia thought he voted
for the people in the legislature
and that the oorporationa caused
hia defeat.
Senator N. B. Scott ruled and
controlled the big Republican con
vention at Parkersburg, as presiding
officer, in a graceful and effective
manner. ’Tia true he became a
little ruffled when General Curtain
persisted in wanting to talk when
he was out of order, but on the
whole the chairman did nobly in con
trolling such a boisterous crowd—as
any gathering of over one thousand
men is likely to be. Senator Scott
is the West Virginia member of the
national committee and will doubt
less succeed himself in that position.
Joseph McCormick Dead.
Joseph McCormick, a pioneer
citizen of southern West Virginia
and on* who was universally belov
ed by a large circle of friends, died
at his home in Huntington last
Thursday. He was seventy-eight
years of age and bis death was
doubtless caused by general debility,
although hia illness was ot short
duration.
Mr. McCormick was born near
the present site of Kellogg, this
county, where he spent the greater
part of hia life. About twenty
y«*rs ago he moved to Huntington
where he haa since resided. When
quits young hs was united in mar
riage to a Miss Koontz who preced
ed him to the Great Beyond about
eight years ago.
The only surviving near rela
ives are a daughter, Mrs. Clark, of
Huntington, and a brother, whose
home is in Kansas.
The body of the deceased was
buried in Spring Hill cemetery,
Saturday.

HON. C. T. CALDWELL.
The many friends of Hon. C. T.
Caldwell, of Parkersburg, will be
grieved to learn that the distin
guished lawyer and statesman is
dead. He died at his home in
Parkersburg of stomach trouble
Sunday, May 3, 1908, aged 62
Wk are in receipt of a statement
from the office of State Treasurer
Newton Ogdin showing the amount
each oounty in West Virginia has
drawn from the service corporation s
s taxes for the years of 1906 and
1908. This year shows a wonder
ful increase over the year 1906. In
1906 Wayne county received from
this source *21.749.1 1 and this
year *52.563.93. Nearly every
county in the State shows a propor
tionate increase. And still there
are tax-payers in this county who
will vote against the Republican
party—the party that enacted the
law to compel the corporations to
pay their just share of the taxes.
Bernard Pratt Remarried.
The Pocatello (Idaho) Tribune of
April 25tb contains the following:
“B. Pratte, of Cincinnati, the
wholesale liquor salesman, and Miss
Edith Smith of Harrisburg, III., to
, whom be is engaged to be married,
left on this morning's train for Salt
Lake to get married there. They
were refused a license in this city
on account of the fact that the
groom-to-be has been divorced only
a month.”
I Bernard Pratte is well known in
Huntington having married Miss
Ouida Caldwell, daughter of J. L.
Caldwell, who secured a divorce
from him the last term of the cir
cuit court.
Joe Xeigler of Cincinnati, who
has been seriously ill for some time
and was brought here to the home
of bie eister, Miss Helen, is rapid
