Is Wheeling Democratic speakers and
workers admit that protection is good

to their cause. They even bring Mr..
Randall here to tell how good thing pro-

not bring Speaker Carlisle and Mr.. Nor.

They never tell that the party made
Mr. Carlisle Speaker because he is a free
trader, and that Speaker Carlisle made
Mr.. Morrison Chairman Of; the Ways and

THERE is good deal OF talk, some OF it
very bitter, touching the vote polled by
Mr. Lewis Baker ut the recent election.
From the performance of Mr.. Alfred Cald-
well, at the meeting Of the County Com
missione.s, it's 10 be inferred that the
talk is not SO bitter as the feeling.
1t looks as though Mr.. Caldwell and
his friends are getting things mixed.
Perhaps they don't like the course Of Mr..
Bakers paper, the Register, through the
campaign. That is their right. People
who don't Ike . newspaper are not
obliged to read it. 1t has not been undel-
stood that the Democratic party owns the
Register. [4:; 2[4;:;,l 4 z, K ~ ~
The following up Mr.. Bakers ballot
until it is caught .'red.handed," so to
speak, at, the final counting, suggests "a
misconccption ofsthe situation. In his
newspaper Mr.. Baker rarely, il ever, i'd
vised anybody to vote for Wilson. He
never did advise anybody to vote for the
judges who had disgraced their ermine.
We do not recall that he ever sang the
praises Of Mr.. Alfred Caldwell. Because
he edits newspaper generally Democratic
does he lose all proprietary interest in
himself? In this day, when Democrats
are lauding to the skies the few Republi-
cans who bolt, is a Democrat to be damned
who does a little. boiling 2 The sauce for
the Republican goose seems to run out be-
fore it reaches the Democratic gander. &,
Irhe point is made that as member Of
the National Democratic Committee Mr..
Baker was guilty Of ".treachery" when he
cut Democratic nominees whom he was
not willing to support, and voted for their
opponents. This raises the question
whether membership in a National COM
!mittee binds a man to support nominees
whom he knows well and believes to be
unworthy. We do. not decide the point.

Roberts as farm hand, but owaing, to J,

he gathered some chestnuts from trees;

this and notified Wilson that he must not

hired man, went to the trees to gather
chesnuts and found Wilson and his iamjly,
helping themselves TO the nuts. Roberts!
ordered them away, but they refused to-
go, Wilson claiming that, as a tenant On
the farm, he was entitled to share OF the
nuts. Further discussion OF this question
resulted in Wilson procuring a. stout club.
and advancing with menacing words to.
ward Roberts. Roberts warned Wilson
70 keep back, but tho latter disregarded
the injunction, and when he had ap.;
preached within about ten. feet Roberts
drew n revolver and shot him, the ball en-
