Majuii (.'• D. Elliott’s picture
in the republican daily papers ol
the state looks pretty. The major
is a good-looking mau.
St. Lons, the big western city,
flopped to the republican column j
last week, electing the mayor and a 1
large majority of the council.
' Tax Commissioner T. C. Town
send has appointed Pat Anderson
of Tyler county assistant tax com-j
missioner. Anderson’s position is
similar to that of (J. E. Kalhbone
of Wirt eouuty, appointed a few
^eeks ago.

Of what do these appointments
amount to, anyway? The appointees
go out of ofliee on July 1 and will
probably will not have a single

The Point Pleasaut Register

In the New Idea Womau’s
Magazine for May, Mary Garden
describes vividly her struggle for
fame. Iu au article entitled
“Momeuts I Remember in My
Life,” she recalls her first tri
umphs in opera and incidental
ly gives good advice to girls who
have an ambitiou to become sing
ers.
In the May number of the Delin
eator Mabel Potter Daggett tells
“How the President Saved the Or
phans.” The article describes the
drammatio incidents in the recent
conference on the care of depend
ent children. This conference,
which ma.ked the progress of
the Delineator’s Child - Rescue
Campaign to a point where it
commanded natioual help, has pro
duced remarkable results.
Mr. Taft has been president
one mouth and m that time has
had, probably, as few troubles as
any president for a like period;
but the time is approaching, and
not far off, when the critical
period of hiB administration will
have beeu reached and which
will decide whether he is to he
supported by a united party or
whether the history of the Har
risoD administration is to repeat
itself.
Much criticism is heard of
Mississippi’s determination to
carry out her idea of having the
likeness of Jefferson Davis en
graved on each piece of the civil
service the state is to give the
battleship bearmg her name.
The best that can he said for the
scheme is that it is in bad taste
and doubtless Jefferson Davis, a
geDtlemai: by birth and breeding,
would he the first to condemn it.
rJ hk report of the special com
mittee appointed by the National
Civil Service Reform .League to
investigate tin Apolitical activity of
the federal office holders, recentlv
made public, clears Mr. Roosevelt
of the allegations made during the
last campaign to the effect that he
coerced certain federal office holder
into the support of Mr. Taft f..r
the republican nomination. After
scanning the lists of the president's
appointments for a considerable
period prior to the national con
vention, the committee finds that
evidence is wholly lacking to sus
tain the charges made, and that, as I
a matter of fact, Mr. Roosevelt
advanced the cause of Civil Service
Reform by so amendiog the civil
service rules as to prohibit em
ployes in the competitive service
from taking part in political
campaign*.
Tiik lolloping published appre
ctaiion of Provident Taft seems »o
fit the “bill” perfectly; “Big,
friendly, wine, faithful, honest,
angry, stubborn, unselfish, pa
triotic, unassuming.”

The annual conclave of West Vir
ginia Knights Templar to be held
at Parkersburg May 19 and 20 gives
promise of being a great success.
Many will attend from this section
of the state.
The indications arc that the
next move of the Slate Depart
ment at Washington in the Nica
raguan affair will be the transmis
sion of all the data bearing on the
case to congress. There seems to
bo little probability of a settle
ment of the difficulty on the basis
proposed by Secretary Knox.
In spite of the tariff war there
are many signs of returning pros
perity. The treasury receipts in
March were £8,761,000 larger
than the receipts for March 1908,
and the gross receipts of the New
York Post-office in March were
nearly £300,000 larger thin the
gross receipts for March 1908.
It is not likely that the maxi
mum iates of the Payne bill will
l>e applied at any time to more than
a tenth of our importations, for un
questionably foreign countries
with double scales of dutv will
stretch a point to enter our market
| freely wheu all that is necessary to
I obtain that advantage w ill be to
j treat the United States with the
same liberality that is extended to
{ them.
i
A defect in the Payne bill, as
reported from the Ways and Means
committee, wan that it did not ex
plicitly vest in the President
power to decide whether or not the
l nited States was receiving sub
stantially the same treatment as it
was giving another country. The
modifications which it is reported
are to be made in the maximum
and minimum provisions of the
bill will pi t upon the executive de
partment of the government the
responsibility of deciding whetebr
or not a material discrimination
against American trade exists and
will allow ample time for negotia
tions for the purpose of removing
causes of dispute with foreign na
tionH. The minimum schedule .of
the tariff bill is to go into effect at
once and to remain in effect long
enough to afford foreign nations an
opportunity to arrange their future
trade relations with the United
States and determine whether or
not they care to continue dealing
with this country ou the most fa
vored nation basis.
I he past few* days have been
notable in \\ ashinglon for the
conferences on tin tariff bill and
none of them is more important in
it- bearing on the tariff question
than that held at the White House
on I’riday when Senator Aldrich
submitted to President Taft hi*
substitute for the maximum and
minimum provision of the Payne ■
hill. I nder its terms the minimum
rates will go into r ffeet immediate.;
ly and remain in force fora definite'
period of nine months or a year.
At the end of that time the maxi- '
mum i Ue* are to become effective *
automatically, except on imports
from those countries which have |
denioi Ira ted to the satisfaction of
the president that they 8re giving!
to the I nited States as good op !
portunities for trade as they grant
to any other country. Their new
plan which meets the views of the
president, is not as drastic in its!
mrthod of retaliation as the maxi
mum and minimum provisions of
the Payne bill, and it gives to the
president a discretion essential in
the operation of a dual tariff sys.

for coal corporations aud
had a right to look after th^ir
clients. Another v»*ry interested
listener was Johu Laipg, th
state mine inspector, and VV. A
Ohley of Charleston lent the old
tune aspect of politics and i«*gis
I at ion dickering to the scene
I be New River region whs well
represented, better perhaps than
the B. & O. region, but as Elkins
is trotn the B. & O. country, bis
presence made up for a lack of
coal magnates doing busmens in
the northern part of the state.
I'P T-> TtfE SENATORS.
Senator E kins went over the
situation iu oilv and soothing
fashion He intimated that
something would be done on the
senate side that would lessen the
anxiety of the coal men, aud
while the senator did not tell
just how it would be done, he
Beeined mighty coufidpnt that he
would bring about a reversal of
the bouse attitude on coal. El
kins insisted that the five con
gressmen from West Virginia did
the best they could in the house
and that it was now up to the
senators. It was the admission
of Elkins that the Payne bill as
it now stands would no doubt
pass the bouse with lumber at
one dollar aud coal free. Klkius
called attention to the fact that
never before ip the history of
Ihe government not even under
'he Wilson bill has coal beeu on
the free list and he added that
he did not care to see the policy
of the government for o*ie hundred
years reversed by a republican
congr^sp. “It simply putting
the coflfiu lid on us up iu West
Virginia,” said the senator, “and
l for one am opposed to it.”
SCOTT ADDRESSES MEETING.
Following the Elkins hopeful
Dess, Senator Scott was called
upon and he did not take such a
cheerful view of things ns his col
league. “I am glad my tellow
senator is so optimistic,” said
Scott. “I am not so and 1 think
you will be lucky to get a 45
cent tarift and the admission ol
culm and slr.clc at the present
rate. I have had talks with
seven republicans and two dem
ocratic members of the senate
finance committee today, and
they do not give the cheerful im
pression ot our friend who has
just spoken.”
Senator Scott then told of n
talk ho had over Sunday with the
president of the United States
and intimated that the president
was not so wonderfully anxious
for the retention of the present
coal schedule. During his short
talk Senator Scott went out of
his wav to pay a compliment to
Congressman James Anthony
Hu "lies of West Virginia, and
told that to Hughes belonged
much credit for his work in be
half of the West Virginia coal in
dustry.
When we look about us and
consider the happiuess that ex
ists, the families that have come
to grief—some from misfortune,
some from error--we are almost
persuaded that those parents who
die young, before the evil day
comes when they no longer find
pleasure in their children, are
the only ones who die happy.
Could the mother who fondly
clasps her infant in her arms, the
idol of her heart, and object of
her tenderest devotion, while phe
prays without ceasing for his life
to he spared that he mav continue
a consolation to her and prop for
old age; could she foresee the fu
ture of that child, which is so
wisely hid from her, could she
see him or her overburdened or
disgraced, poverty stricken and
friendless, idle or insane, a worth
less vagabond, or a debauched
millionaire, way down hi the
dregs of society or away up in
the scum, would not a change
conn- o’er the spirit of her dreams?
Would she not more fully realize
that life is only valuable .as it is
well spent, and while she is pray
ing for life to last, pray also with
greater fervency for his protection
from the soul-destroying things
of the world?
