Bryan will be elected If the labor

hundred men own n billion of the
thirty-six billion OF real and personal
property on the tax books in the
United States; $4,000 men own two
and one-hah billions and 100000 men
own ten billions. The middle class is
composed Of men assessed between sf5.-
600 and $500. This class numbers
10000 and own half Of the property
on the tax books. The well-to-do class
number four millions. and their assess
ments averages $1,000. The poor are
those assessed with 800 Of property.
and number 4,750,000. The very poor
number 1924. 100. and their average

REMEMBER YOUR TAX BILLS.

When the West Virginia voter goes
to the polls upon the sixth day of No
vember, three weeks from next Tues
day, he should take his tax bill along.
and before casting his ballot compare
it with previous bills, and then remem-
Der that for the next ten years to come
he will have to face the increase he
will find. In a majority of the coun-
ties the taxes have been increased to
a very considerable extent. notably in
this county of Ohio, where a partisan
Board of Commissioners, fully com
mitted to the policy of bringing about
what is alleged to be prosperity by in
creasing the public burdens, saw fit to
endorse and stand by a grossly IN
fair reyaluation. It's action was in
marked contrast with the County Court
Of Marshall county. which went to even
a questionable extreme to. nullify the
Judgment and determination of the
State Board and secure for the citizens
Of that county a return to substantially
the old conditions. In Ohio county

however, the attitude Of tie county au-
thorities was distinctly opposite. They
wanted more money, and saw to 1t. In
one way and another. that the people
would be compelled to pay, and they
will pay upon the outrageous Gasis fixed
for the next ten years, unless they find
relief through an overturning of the
existing membership of the Commits
sioners and the substitution of men
who have some consideration for the
public. In other counties of the State
the situation is fully Is bad as here
in Chic, and the voters ought to bear
the matter in mind along about cleo
ton day. If they fail to take advan-
tage of the opportunity to protest they
a rest assured that they will pay for
it out of their pocket books in cold,
hard cash. The interests of the citi-
zens demand the o%verturning of the
Republican regime, and the substitu-
ton of men in Office who stand closer
to the people.

contribute at least five DAYS each year
to pay his part or the interest on them.
When a man buys steel he contributes
20 pay interest on securities represent
ing the steel trust.
These securities are owned by a very
few men, chiefly on Wall street, and
the startling fact is pointed out that
25,300 men hold a mortgage for S1S,-
50v, Goo, 900. These men practically APP
point the officials of trusts and rail-
roads who cannot pay interest on the
securities unless they collect the great
est amount possible from the public
and pay as little Is possible for labor
and material. Six per cent. OF twenty
five billions is $500, 000,0 900. But with
the present scale of wages and with
the amount collected at present from
the public, they can pay only $3.50, Q00.-
600 of interest. Hence the effort is to
increase the moun collected from the
public and reduce the amount paid for
wages. To pay full interest it will be
necessary to largely increase the
amount taken from the public, and
>to so reduce wages that labor must live
on very much less than labor now SOM
siders necessary A government by
injunction is necessary to keep labor
quiet when compelled to work with
scant food, and hence the security
holding class is unanimous TOR a gov
eminent by injunction. The facts are
so presented that no one who reads the
paper can doubt that one of two
things will happen-either that the
security-holding class will voluntarily
abandon the effort TO obtain full inter
est or else that labor organizations Will
be broken up. There is no possible
escape from this dilemma. II Mckia-
ley is elected he will be Indebted TO
the security-holding class for his cleo
ton, and he cannot disturb the profits
of those who elect him.

read by speakers and editsrs and the
facts impressed upon voters at once.

We do not agree with III CORE
spondent observer" whose letter we
printed on this page yesterday
morning. So far as he deals
with the candidacy of Mr.. Auber,
for Board of Commissioners from
Richie district, he is all right,
but when he suggests the defeat of
the Democratic candidate in Webster
and the election of Mr.. Moore, Republi-
can, we beg to dissent, and to suggest
that he is simply trading off a ring can
didate in Richie for another in Weo-
ster, and is gaining nothing. The way
to secure reform and a new deal IN
the county Board of Commissioners Is
to elect a majority of Democrats, and
the Register recommends that to the
voters of Ohio county. With two ex-
ceptions, it would be good business to
clean out the entire membership OF the
Board and give some real representa-
tives of the taxpayers a chance.

THE 1NJuDIcIous ROOSEVELT.

Mr.. Roosevelt-he who is the tail OF
the Republican ticket, and VINO IS
soon % make an address in this city
continues his injudicious Cabling
throughout the Middle West, and does
| hot appear to have learned any gump-
ton since his notorious offensive st.
Paul address, for which he was ST.
fenced by Mark Hanna for quite a
time. At Peoria, ILL.,, last Monday, the
Vice Presidential candidate said,
among other things:
"In 1896 Organism meant free silver
openly, and, what was still more SIN
lister, meant free riot under disguise.
Now they seek to slur over the prlncl-
pies of that platform and to substitute
the dishonor Of the flag. Let them re-
member that men can't incite rlot
either on the stump or through the
columns of the newspapers and hope
to escape the responsibility for dlsor-
der"
Commenting upon this characteristic
nonsense, the Washington Post, makes
these eminently proper remarks, which
will be endorsed by the Intelligent peo-
pie generally:
"Of course. the first part of this IS
simple, unadulterated rubbishIa pro-
duct which Roosevelt seems to have
cornered very thoroughly. The only
d~isgraceful and rowdy interruptions
of a distinguished public speaker IN
1896 occurred at Chicago and New
Haven, and in each case Mr.. Bryan was
the victim. As for the rest OF this aD-
surd utterance, we call Mr.. Roosevelts
attention to the fact that he is the only
partisan stump speaker of any promi-
nence tits year who has INDUCED in
violent and incendiary denunciation of
the opposition. He began his Wild
West campaign by accusing Demo-
Gratis Of cowardice, treachery, and dis
honor, and although he attempted af-
terward to explain away his mischiev-
Gus and foolish vociferation, he left
himself, in the estimation Of decent
minded men, worse off than ever.
"The trouble with Mr.. Roosevelt is
that, while in every relation of pri-
vate life he is a good fellow. an up
right and honest gentleman, he has,
as regards public matters, a direful and
wicked maggot in his brain. He in
toxicates himself with his own frantic
garrulity until he believes-quite hon
estly, we think-that he has some di-
vine appointment to regenerate and
purify the world. This was obvious in
the Santiago campaign, when he wrote
a private" letter-over the heads of
his superior officers-telling the Secre-
tary of War just how the affair should
be conducted, and incidentally dispar-
aging all the volunteer organizations
then in Cuba-excepting, OF course, the
Rough Riders. 1t is equally obvious
now. Throughout his noisy and turbu-
lent itinery he has consistently staked
out and claimed all the virtue. cour-
age, nobility, and patriotism in the
land, and has as consistently denounc-
ed the w~lckedness, the degradation and
the %treachery of Democrats in general
and in particular. We could pay no
more eloquent tribute to his besotted
i~nfatuation than by quoting him
against himself"

To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-W. E. Raymond, nominee for Con-
gress in the First Congressional District.
has made several speeches in Wetzel coun-
ty to large audiences. Mr.. is a
good speaker and is presenting the issues
of the campaign in an interesting manner
to the people. His trip to this county has
made him many friends. He is a relative
of Alpheus Raymond, who was one of the
Supreme Judges of West Virginia for
several years. Many of our people knew
the judge well and they would like to see
his relative elected to Congress. Many
say we can redeem the First Congression-
al district this year. Dovener has been
losing friends, and 1t not considered a
strong candidate. Harmony prevails in
the Democratic ranks in Wetzel county.
We have a coed ticket in the field. Zariah
Morgan, our nominee for the State Senate,
is a splendid man. The nomination came
to him without asking 1t. He is one of the
most popular men in this Senatorial dis
trict. He will make a good Senator. The
news of his election will be received by
his many friends with ~gladness.
Our nominees for House of Delegates,
Septimius Hall and Aaron Morgan, have
had legislative experience in the past.
Their election is a certainty. They are act
i've workers and are helping roll the DEM
ocratic wheel.

THE PHILADELPHIA FR.uD


The Philadelphia Ledger, Republic
can, agrees with the Register. and so
informs the Republican Pittsburg
Commercial Gazette, that elections in
New York city are much fairer than
those in Philadelphia, and reiterates
the undoubted truth that about eighty
thousand fraudulent votes are annu-
ally cast for the Republican ticket in
the Pennsylvania metropolis. The
Ledger goes into details to a very con
siderable extent, and points out to its
Pittsburg party contemporary that
these repeaters and unlawful voters are
thieves, thugs, hangers-on of saloons,
dives, speak-easies and disreputabIe
resorts generally, and that they are
paid by and work for the Republican
machine. casting cheerfully as many
unlawful ballots as possible for the
whole Republican ticket from the Pres
ident down to ward officers. Pro-
ceeding, the Ledger says:
Lost to all sense of shame, they are
ready to hire or sell out to the machine
for the purpose of intimidating voters,
stufing ballot-boxes and running the
entire gamut of crimes against the
franchise. Election day is their day of
carnival. When they get into trouble
the politicians procure bail for them,
and afford them protection. Dishonest
politics goes hand in hand with all
manne Of l~aw-breaking, and for that
reason, even were there no other suf-
icient reason the corrupt machine
should be exterminated. Public morals

the more vice Is permitted to fiaunt
itself the more victims it seizes upon
1t is both unusual and refreshing 70
hear a Republican paper thus denounce
gross fraud and lawlessness by its own
party. The Wheeling Intelligencer
for example, has annually rejoiced in
the big Republican majority rolled up
in Philadelphia, and has never yet
questioned the methods by which it
was brought about. Yet the Intelli-
gencer is honorable" if you take its
own word for it.
