The Buckeye State election is one
of the most widely discussed topics
in politics. The hope, we might say
the certainty, of Democratic victory
makes the theme more interesting
The election takes place next Tues
day and the vote that will be polled
will be greater than has been fol
some time. The people of our party
there did not go into the campaign
in a spirit of vain glory but to win
and the signs have pointed to 6
Democratic victory from the first
The common reasoning which the
Democratic principles Ding in theil
train has worked wonders to the Sc
curing Of new champions to the cause
and enlistments in her ranks togeth
er with the unpopularity of Jaw
Bone Foraker makes the card sure
winner. The perfidy of the present
incumbent albeit aspirant to the
gubernatorial chair has been ex
posed SO conyincingly that his
chances with the suffrages Of his
former constituents are slim indeed
The folks there know . good thing
when they see 1t and they have seen
the good things Of the Democracy
long enough 70 want to abide by them.

The subject of road making and
our country roads is being discussed
by many of the leading journals OF
the country, including the maya
zines. 1t is to be hoped the matter
will be agitated until the numerous
systems of making and repairing our
roads now in vogue will be revolu-
tionized. A complete system OF
roads would double the value of farm
property wherever it existed. Let
ne talk about and think about it un-
til the desired revolution is brought
about.

A Warming to Farmers.

A word of warning is due to our
farmer friends in Marion and Harri-
son counties, or for that matter,
wherever there is great and sudden
excitement with rapid increase in
land values owing to successful oil
development. Our information from
newly discovered oil territory in
West Virginia, and it is not confined
to one place, is that specializing
sharps are securing the country and
endeavoring to outwit the owners of
desirable territory. These unscru-
pulous people will not stop at trifes,
and the unwary are likely to get the
worst of whatever bargain they make
with them, unless careful and watch
full. All spectators and dealers, of
course, are not sharps. There are
plenty of square men among them,
just as there are in other enterprises,
but the very fancy and unstable
character of the business draws the
sharps to it in great numbers, there
fore the necessity for the greater
caution.
The Registers advice is that in all
deals, contracts, sales and leases en-
tered into, the farmer will act most
intelligently and to his best inter-
ests by consulting reliable lawyer
of his own town or county, and it
would be well to have him draw up
the papers and approve them before
affixing the signature. A little care
and vigilance at the outset may pre-
vent a heap of litigation and worry
later on.-Register.

1t is not unusual to hear of West
virginians, who have gone west to
join great boom, returning to their
native State sadder and wiser men.
This sort Of experience is necessary
with many people. They won't be
convinced that West Virginia is one
Of the best States in the Union and
all they need is the energy and
brains to develop her rich resources
and thus reap their own reward.
West Virginia is good State to en-
igrate to at this time.

Roads.

And now is the time when oul
country cousins come into town and
make the air blue, the cause of this
hue and cry being that they see
trouble ahead in the way of bad
roads and ask us, to come right out
and say it, why we don't light into
the administration that cares nc
more for the improvement of the
roads. We mildly tell such folks
that we have harped on that theme
for many moons and that we intend
to keep on harping until we bring
about the needed reform and revolu-
tion in the manner of keeping up the
highways. Not many years ago
Monongalia was more sparsely set
tied than she is now and the little
travel of those days did not wear
the roads out, but we have progress
ed and there is no use in trying to
deny the fact that the roads have
not kept pace with the general de-
velopment of the country. The
stride from the settlers cabin and
the primitive clearing in the forest
to the finely cultivated farms
and the comfortable and even luxuri-
Gus homes of to-day is much great
err one than that from the bride
path blazed through the forest to
the ordinary modern highways.
Had the roads kept pace with the
farms and homes they would have
been macadamized thoroughfares in
stead of the dirt roads which choke
the traveller with dust part of the
year and plunge him into a success
sion of sloughs of mud during the
remainder.
Ways and means galore have been
suggested and argued in these col
umns on the bettering of the condi-
ton of our highways and the people
have different ideas as to the best
means to be used, but all and of one
accord say, 1--WE must have better
roads" Those in authority know
how and know well, too, but they
say it's too late in the season to do
anything now. Perhaps it is, but
we don't think it is, and even if it is
there are other seasons when it could
be done and it's not too late to pre-
pare for those seasons.

In speaking of the Warrington oil
we'll the State Journal asks: Are

Such things are done some times for
a purpose and it is well not to get
excited.

New Orleans Times Democrat
says: ''The United States to-day is
the most monopoly cursed nation on
the face of the EARTH They have
made more millionaires in twenty
years than Europe and England have
made in 500 years. Everything in
this country is controlled by syndi.
cate, pool, combine ton, trust, patent
or corner. We pay doctor the price
fixed by the medical association for
bringing babe into the world, and
then we buy a cradle for babe at
the price fixed by the furniture man
ufacturers' association. Its little
flannel skirt is protected by tariff
laws, and we buy a rattle-box at
patent-right prices. Later it eats
bread at prices fixed by the Western
Millers' Association, and meat at
figures given by Armour and corner
ers of pork. Its shoes are bought at
association prices, backed by pro-
tective tariff, coffee at the prices fixed
by trusts and corners. TIA boy now
grown to manhood. wishes to go into
business he must buy himself in. If
he wishes to enter commerce he must
buy a seat on the board of trade; if
he wishes to go into manufacturing,
he must buy himself into combina-
ton which represents and has mon
opolized that business"

After tomorrow there will only be
two more leaves to pull off of the
calendars when aspirants for clerks
of our courts and the .wild-eyed can
didate for the Legislature will begin
to murmur softly and few months
afterward to proclaim their fitness
for the places in louder terms. We
understand that even this early our
radical friends have full slate fixed
up, yet still they find it hard to find
man for representative, but they
found him. Still some of our friends
contend that democratic clubs avail
eth nothing in republican Mononga-

When they get to telling on each
other the people learn something Of
the inside workings of the republi-
can party. Some of Russell Harri-
sons assistants when he was assayer
of the United States mint at Helena,
Montana, are making some very ugly
aff1davits concerning his manage
ment of the public business. Several of
them swear they have spent months
on Harrison's stock rancho doing
work for him personally while their
names were still on the pay roll of
the mint. In other words Harrison
used the labor of the Government
employees and servants during Office
hours for his own personal and indi-
vidual use and benefit, and charged
the services so rendered to the gov
eminent, and paid for them with
money belonging to the United
States. There are also many other
charges of malfeasance in office, and
it is said his methods of running
politics made even the old FOUNDERS
open wide their eyes.
