The Issue raised with the State of j Brazil by the Government attacks upon the so-called coffee trust may lead to diplomatic complications, but, it is difficult to see how the Depart-1 ment of Justice can do otherwise than It is doing now'. The mere fact that the Ghvernment of Brazil Is par ty to a contract Illegal under our laws ought not to protect citizens of the United States who attempt to carry out that contract as agents for or as partners with the Brazilian 1 Government. Through the Brazilian ▼alorisation scheme, the price of cof fee has been raised over 100 per cenL In other words the American consum ers who use the greater part of the Brazilian output are paying to Bra silian growers snd dealers millions of dollars every year which they might not otherwise pay. It ia the duty of the American Government to protect its citizens. Xo clearer case of the violation of the anti-trust laws has gone before the liepartment of Justice. What subjects of Brazil may do may do, do not immediately con cern ua Whatever combinations they may make In Brazil to maintain the price of coffee Is strictly a Bra silian matter, and with that we have nothing to do, but when the Illegal combination Invade the t'nited States, makes our chief seaports Ita distributing point and engages the as sistance of American citizens In car rying out Its plans, then there Is op portunity for the Government to act and It should not fall to act. The threats of Brazil should not worry us very much. We buy a great deal more from that country than It buys from us In fact, the majority of the South and Central American republics appar ently regard the I nitedStates as a very valuable ass.stance and protection to them when threatened by foreign complications, but beyond that have l.ttle or bo use for us. They ar» willing to se|| us ; heir produce, but are not anxious to buy In return It would be no great misfortune if tome of there bumptious Republics were ■ mad*- ip realize that I nrle Sam does not intend »•» keep on playing the good fellow forever THE CHICAGO CONVENTION.

DR. HATFIELD AT FAIRMONT. Concerning the appearance of Dr. H. D. Hatfield In Fairmont, tha Fair mont Times.

He outlined the pollclrs he will follow If nominated end elected: he discussed the principles nf h|s party end altogether he mads a dignified and Impregslve talk which wae enloyed from beginning to end and which was frequently cheered After hts meet ing It was predicted by prominent local Republican* that It will be har.l for an other member of the pnrty even If he be better known lorglly than Dr. Hatfield, to rreate or to construct *« much favor able sentiment In his behalf as did the polished statesman from Mclmwell last night. Dr. Hatfield's striking and pleasing personality has made a most favor able Impression In every part of West Virginia In which he has^ appeared Dr. Hatfield Is a clever thinker, a forceful talker, and an educated and polished man. In spite of some rather unseemly tactics, used by a few who would like to discredit him. Dr. Hat Held Is apparently the leader In the race for the Republican nomination for Governor, and so far as Northern West Virginia is concerned Is assured of a very handsome vote. THE FIGHT ON WOOD.

ONE of the first women la America to plan for the higher education of her i sea waa Lydia Huntley, a native of Norwich. Conn . who la known in the literary history of the new world as Lydia Sigourney. “Mrs Sigourney's poems for a good many years firs’ appeared tu the Hanford Counnt. and they were widely copied.” said the late Stephen A. Hubbard, who waa for many yean managing editor of that paper. “When General Hawley and Mr. Warner and I bought the Counnt we came to know many interesting stories relating to I Mn. Sigourney s connection with the paper, and 'he one that has always Interested me most I will tell you. “One day a young printer in the composing room of the Courant made the special request of the editor that whenever a poem of Mn. Sigourney's was sent to the com posing room, he be allowed to put It in type. When he was asked why he made the request, he replied that it waa because he wag very fond of Mn Sigourney's poems, and that he was in the habit of committing them to heart, a custom that he had fallen into when, on seven! occa sions. he had been called upon to put her poems in type. "Quite natunlly. Mrs Sigourney heard from the edi tor of the Counnt that there was a young printer in his office who wanted to set up her poems She felt that that was a great com pliment. and one day when she was in the office of the Courant she asked If] the young printer might be brought to her so that she could have a little I talk with him. This was done, and the young printer wag greatly pleased to think 'hat so famous a writer as Mn Sigourney had asked to chat with him. This young man's name was Robert Honner. and he afterward became the proprietor of the New Yotji Ledger. "A few years after Mr. Bonner had made the ledger an International success, he heard that Mrs. Sigourney’s husband had met with reverses In1 business and lost nearly all of his property. He aso heard that Mrs Sigourney was trying to earn something for the family support. "Thereupon, Robert Bonner wrote to Mrs. Sigourney •ecalling to her recollection the Inrtdent of his meeting with her. and telling her anew of the pleasure he had taken In setting up her poems when he was a composi tor on the Hartford Courant. He then urged her to write one poem a week for the Ledger, and anything else that she thought worth while, and offered to pay fo* these contributions at a rate far In excess of anything she had ever received The offer was gratefully accepted, nnd It was the weekly payments which Mrs. Sigourney received from Robert Bonner which made it possible for her practically to support her family.” (Copyrleht, 1912, hy E 3.

I wish to say; First—That If nominated and elected to this office I will give to I the work of the Republican State Committee exactly the same care and attention that I would give to my own business. Second That I represent no interest or faction I hate made no promises and I will be absolutely free In that position to serve the best interests of the Republicans of this State. Third—I understand that the most important duty of the Republi I ran State Commltee is. on occasion, to sit as a court in the decision I contests and in the settlement of questions between party commit tees and party candidates. I promise in all such cases to give as near an unbiased Judgment as my ability and understanding will en able me to do. 1 flatter myself that th» people of Ohio county who know me believe in my personal Integrity. 1 have not been able to make an actrve campaign for this office, and do no' believe it is one »ha» should be sougha In that way it I* n position of honor and | triist. and If that position is conferred upon me 1 will so regard it. and I ' rU-~ n* n Pf *'lcal asset to he used for my own advantage, or for the ’ advantage of any particular set of men.
