The supreme Court.

To the Editor OF the IntellIgencer.
sIR:-I notice thata great many Of
the Democratic papers OF the state and
the West virginia bar. are advocating
the election OF non-partlsan supreme
court of appeals. They recommend
The nomination and election Of one Re
publican and one Democrat without OPP
position. The writer Of this article
well remembers when the Democratic
party was In power in this state, they
saw and believed very different. A Re-
publican was not thought capable Of
occupying place on any Of the boards.
or in any OF the public institutions Of
this state But as soon as presto said
change, then the Democratic party cried
give US non-partison schools, boards,
&C., and the Republican party was sins
pie enough to grant their request.
The Democratic party tried to keep
the supreme court Democratic, but now
when presto said change the same old
cry Is heard-lo give us a nOn-partlsan
supreme court.
II It was right to have a partisan court
when things were against US, think It
Is right to have partisan court when
things are going our way.
With such men on the supreme bench
as Hon. T. P. Jacobs, Hon. John w. Ma
son or Hon. George c. Sturgiss and
Charles w. Lynch. no one need fear
that their party will get away with their
honesty and ability. REPUBLICAN,.

Mr.. Payne did not present his resOlu-
ton changing the basis Of representa-
ton in national conventions at the
meeting of the Republican national
committee Saturday. He deferred to
the opinion Of party leaders that it
was not within the province of the
committee to make such change. That.
however. will not prevent the matter
from being considered in the national
convention. 1t is too good and Just a
scheme to be smothered because It is
not to the liking OF a section Of the
country that has never aided the Re-
publican party in the election of any Of
its candidates for the presidency.

Congressman Lentz.
We must firmly but gently insist that
Mr.. Lentz is wrong. AT present 1t IS
the Beers who are doing the shooting.
However. does Mr.. Lentz think he can
impose on the intelligence Of the peo-
pie of this country that his professions
Of sympathy with the Beers and his
susceptible political emotions are
touched by any special love he bears
the Beers, or that his alleged deeply
grieved heart is throbbIng with any
other Indignation except that inspired
primarily against the Republican par
ty; or that his hocus pocus tears are
falling from any other fountain except
that OF impotent rage against the adj
ministration?
The situation is too simple to need
a diagram. II the Republican party
had championed the cause of the Beers
Mr.. Lentz would have been Just as
logically lachrymoseand sObbingly SYM
pathetic fof the outraged rights Of the
British. and in fne frenzy and en-

scanted on the base ingratitude Of the
party Of treachery and turpitude.

no such words as sincerity or common

that the Democratic party is still hope
