WEST VIRGINIA has no election
this year, but this doesn't mean that
there is no interest in politics in the
State. The selection of candidates Is
already being agltated, and those who
have ambition to serve their country
are making their wishes known. Stuart
W. Walker has been mentioned as a
candidate for Congress from this dis
trict on the Democratic ticket. 1t
might prove wise thing to let the
nomination come to the Eastern Pan
handle next year, III view of the fact
that the two recent nominees from the
western part of the district have failed
to make a successful canvass. Owen
Mckinney of Fairmont,who is strong
man,will also, it is said, aspire to the
nomination. There is little doubt that
Mr.. Dayton will be renominated by
the Republicans.
Forrest W. Brown, of Jefferson coun-
ty, it is said, stands a very good chance
to get the nomination for Attorney
General. II there is a disposition to
favor jefferson county with more
important Office, however, ]. Garland
Hurst will seek the nomination for
Auditor. Mr.. Hurst has also been
mentioned for State Senator, for which
William Campbell is likewise an as
pirsnt. R. W. Morrow will in all prob
ability be a candidate for the Legis-
lature again.
The Republican leodor' met in
Wheeling some days ago, and it is said
that a preliminary slate was made for
next years ticket. A. B. White was
chosen for Governor, w. NJ. O. Dawson
to be continued as Secretary of State.
James X. Hall was set up for Auditor,
Mr.. Lafollette, the present incumbent
having proven unsatisfactory to the
powers that be, in that he has not per-
mitted his office to be used to further
the personal interests of certain per-
sons. Acknowledgement E. P. Rucker
and State Superintendent of Schools
]. R. Trotter are slated for their old
places, and the question of a successor
to Treasurer Kendall was left in abey-
ance.
The great fight in West Virginia
next year will be over the Legislature.
Senator Elkins will come up for re-
election, and will use every influence
to obtain Republican majority in
that body. Col. John T. McGraw will
do his best to get Democratic major
ity in that body, with the hope that
he will represent his State in the
United States Senate.

TRUSTS.

There was an interesting gathering
of distinguished men in Chicago last
week, the occasion that brought them
together being conference to discuss
the subject of trusts and their relation
to the public welfare. The central
figures in the conference were Hon.
VIM. J. Bryan, of Nebraska, and Hon.
w. Bourke Cochran, of New York.
Besides these, there were some OF the
leading labor representatives., Govern
ors of States, and others. Mr.. Cock
ran made long and able speech,
which was in reality defense OF the
trusts. He advocated wide legal pub
licity for the affairs of corporations
prohibition of special favors by cor
porations and the right of action
against corporations whose service is
suspended as a result of labor troubles
as to which they are unwilling to con-
fer with employees. He took the ground
that there were good trusts and bad
trusts, and intimated that there was
little hope of helping matters oy leg
islation.
Mr.. Bryan made a great speech, IN
which he condemned entirely the
trusts and monopolies that have lately
become so numerous and so powerful.
He said
want to start with the declaration
that monopoly in private hands IS lnde-
fenSible from any standpoint ana lnto!-
cradle. | make no exceptions 10 the
rule. | do not divide monopolles In prl-
vate hands into good monopolls ana pad
monopolies. There is no good monopoly
in private hands. There can be no good
monopoly in private hands until the Al
mighty sends angels to preside over US.
He advocated such legislation by
State Legislatures as would make all
corporations subject to State authori-
ty. When a corporation becomes
burdensome or oppressive, there should
be authority to restrict and limit It's
operations, or annihilate it entirely if
it became destructive to the interests
of the people. He also advocated
Federal legislation that would restrict
corporations, prevent the watering OF
stock, prevent monopoly in any branch
of business, and provide for publicity
as to all of the transactions and bus
mess of the corporation. Mr.. Bryan
further said
want to warn you that when the
monopoly has absolute control, brains
will be at discount. We have not had
vet taste of complete trust. But,
when the trust has rid itself of all com
petitors, what is going to be the result
My friends, all you have to know is hui
man nature. God made men selfish.
On the farm we used to protect proper
ty from the hogs by putting rings in
their noses. Why So that while they
were getting fat they would not destroy
more than they were worth. One of the
great purposes of government is to put
rings in the noses of hogs. If | were
going to try to find the root OF the mo-
nopoly evil | would 90 back to the Bible
for an explanation, and | would find 1t
in the declaration that the love of money
| is the root of all evil.

IT sounds very nice to talk about
the old flag and extending the infu-
ence and usefulness of our government
to the uttermost parts of the earth,
but after all there's no getting around
the cold fact that our million-dollar-
a-day war in the Philippines is up to
this time a dismal failure. Besides,
it is utterly distasteful to the great
masses of the people, except of course
those who are blinded by partisan
prejudice or who have personal or fl
nancial interest in seeing the fight go
on.

self to be reeking, sinking mass Of
corruption, and one marvels that 1t is
tolerated in this age Of civilization.
