Correspondence Of the Wheeling Register

Correspondence Of the Wheeling Register
MARTINsBURG, W. Va, Oct. Is.
Your readers may remember some
what humorous speech made by the Hon.
Charles j. Faulkner, at some political festival,
in the city Of New York in 1876, when, in re-
ply TO a toast given to West Virginia, he
endeavored TO show that our State was the
Hub of the Union" That may have been
said by the speaker as mere pleasantly, but
an examination Of the Statistical Atlas OF the
Uailed States by F. Il Walker, superintendent
Of the last census. will show that in this IN
stance, as 10 many Others, "Truth is often
uttered in a ike" Mr. Walker has in tie
sixth PAGE in that portion Of his work entitled
the progress Of The nation" table show
inc the position OF the centre Of the population
of the United States according TO each census,
from the origin OF our government to the
present time From this table ii will be seen
that in every di-cennial census the centre OF
population was in the territory now embraced
10 West Virginia, or very little to the east or
ives. of it, la 1920, the centre of population
was within a few miles Of the present
limit of cur State 10 the year 1880, It
was ten miles w S. w. of Moorefeld, in
the county Of Hardy In 1910, it was sixteen
miles south of Clarksburg; i'll 1850, it was
twenty-lbree miles southeast Of Parkersbnrs
and notwithstanding the tide Of population
has been running impetuously towards the Pa
cifc ocean, in 1850 it was not more than thirty
miles west Of Parkersburg. and in 1870 about
one hundred miles west Of that point. So that
for near half a century Of our history West
Virginia was the centre of population aod this
emineu,ly entitled it to be styled the Hub OF
the Union" CAP0N

To the Editor Of the Democrat:
A friend brought to my notice for the frsE
time this morning an article cut from the
City Item Of recent date, wherein the points
are attempted to be made that on certain im-
portant occasions Mr.. Witt failed as q Leader
and proved false as patriot.
These alleged occasions are therein detailed.
and the reader Is assured that this system
ATTIC arraignment can be maintained by proofs
and appropriate facts bearing upon the spect-
ficatons.
Curlously interjected In the body of the
article / find my name given by the star
writer, as one who could tell, II he woRlds
certain things bearing upon the Issue.
The writer says: Booth can tell; will he Y,s
Well. my inquiring friend, Booth win tell. and
II what he tells disacoords with your specula-
tions you cannot complain, because he IL your
own called witness, whom you cannot dis
credit, having put him on the stand.
-Four witness then says this:
FIrst-That to his personal knowledge and
often occular observation, Mr.. Wiltz visited
and met with the various committees and
caucuses OF the McEnery Assembly during
the Plnehback regime, and that his official
conduct during that period was substantially
guided by and In strict accord with the views
OF said eauouses and committees.
Second That Mayor Witt cordially opened
the City Hall to the sittings Of said Assem-
bly,, where 1t continued to meet, as Is we'll
known, until 1t was stampeded BY false
alarm, set In motion by one rot necessary to
name here.

sure that the Deat chapter will begin with his
election to the Chief Magistraey of Louisiana.
Through, I'LL these campaigns, and though
ably and faithfully dscharglng all his official
duties, Lieut.. Gov. Viitz has all the time been
actively engaged either In commercial pur-
suits OF In the discharge Of the duties OF the
second officer OF large banking institution
He has been charged with being tempDtizsr,
but that is great Injustice. That he is o man
OF conservative thought and action in
the ordinary affairs OF business or
political life ID certainly true, but that
ID to his credit. Those fierce and u1-
compromising men whose trumpets arc
tuned TO one unceasinR clangor, as II To-
animate the world to eternal BATTLE are
mere 10 be admired for their heroism than
trusted for their Judgment. Gov. Wiltz has
learned n lesson. OF which too many political
leaders are ignorant, that is, that all the af-
mise of conflicting opinions. Otherwise man.
kind would be at eternal war. and law, liberty
and property would be overwhelmed In q
com mon anarchy. But the career Of our dis
tlngulshed friend ID replete with evidences
that when the right Ia arrayed against the
wrong; that when there is real need OF un-
compromising resistance aye. resistance to
the death, no man can be moro resolute, de-
termined and uncompromising than he.
Before tho people Of Louisiana we have
drawn the likeness Of our candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Governor Of Lou

how they like It,
