Judge Boyd Faulkner for Governor

To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-Permit me to suggest as first
class Democratic gubernatorial timber,
Judge E. Boyd Faulkner, of Martins
burg. Judge Faulkner has proven his
ability in his long judicial career on
the bench in this State, where he has
served with such uniform satisfaction
to both litigants and lawyers that he
is regularly reelected without opposi-
ton. For the past fifteen years he has
taken no active part in politics, but he
is well and personally known to every
Democrat who figured actively in polit-
ical affairs prior to that time. He is
not identified with any faction of the
Democratic party and would be accept
able to all factions-presuming that fac
lions still exist, which I doubt. Judge
Faulkner has not sought political
preferment, and / do not know that
he would accept a nomination for Gov
ernor I have faith enough in his
Democracy, however, to believe that II
his party called he would accept. If he
did he would make a rafting and sue

MONROE DOCTRINE AND IMPER-
IALISM.

1t is a peculiarly twisted intellect
| that can claim that the imperial pol
| dcy OF the administration in the Or
lent is not a violation of the Mon
| roe Doctrine. Yet it is this anomalous
proposition some of the administra-
ton organs are endeavoring to main
tain.
The very fact of the existence Of the
imperial policy and it's exploitation
on the other side of the earth far
beyond the scope of the Monroe Doc
trine is in itself and at once an
abandonment of that vital principle
of American faith.
How can the teaching of Monroe
possibly survive any assumption OF
permanent control by the United
States of territory in the Eastern
Hemisphere? How can we with any
show of justice or consistency ask
the nations of the Eastern Henri
sphere to keep hands off the Western
when we, ourselves, lay violent
hands on Eastern territory?
The plain fact is the imperial crew
of the ship of state made the Monroe
Doctrine walk the plank when they
ran up to the masthead the black
flag of imperial piracy. Senator
Beveridge in his authorized defense
| of the administration policy made no
mention of the Monroe Doctrine. He
studiously avoided it because to men
ton it would have involved confession
that it has been thrown overheard
by the administration.
The imperial party no longer have
use for this time honored American
doctrine. For instance, listen to this
from a New York organ of imperial
ism: 1.-THE insular Monroe Doctrine
is already swallowed up in the broad
| err world-interests in which we have
suddenly and Unexpectedly taken a
unique and leading part"
Mark that this organ contemptu-
| ously calls it the '"insular" Monroe
Doctrine. Thus do all imperialists
view that eminent safeguard of Amer
lean institutions, which all the world
has respected because we have here
tofore respected it ourselves.
But it has been read out of the inn
| perial platform of principles. 1t has
gone to the imperial ash-heap togeth-
er with the Constitution, Washing
toms Farewell Address, the Declare
ton of independence. Lincoln's Get
; tysburg Speech and all other similar
u~tterances of American patriotism.

Johnston for Governor.

Greenbrier Independent
Judge David E. Johnson, who now
represents this district in Congress,
is considered by many to be the most
available man the Democrats a put
UP for Governor next year. Judge
Johnston is recognized as n of the
best lawyers in the State. He is gen
ial, polite, affable and knows how to
make friends. The vigorous, able and
successful campaign made by him in
this district in the fall of 1898 well
justified his friends in the opinion
they have expressed.

American C~onfederacy. It + Capt.

tory for either side.


In Hon. William M. Kincaid's article
where it read that gold and silver

read, of course. from 1887 to 1873"

AS TO A CONTINUOUS HIGH SCHOOL
SESSION.
The question of adopting a continu-
GUS high school session Of from 9 a.
m. to 2:30 p. m, with a brief recess
at noon, in place of the present hours,
which include two sessions. morning
and afternoon, with one hour and thir-
ty minutes recess at noon. did not
come up at yesterdays monthly meet
ing of the Board of Education.
No satisfactory argument for the
change has yet been advanced, while
there are many reasons in favor of re-
tanning the present arrangement. A
continuous session of five hours is too
long for pupils to be confined at study.
A short session in the morning and
another short session in the afternoon,
with an ample recess for dinner, as at
present, is not only much better for
the health of the pupils, but more sat
sifactorily fills in the day, keeping the
scholars busy without %overtaxing their
strength.
The present system should be al
lowed to stand unless better reasons
for the change are given than have
yet been advanced.

Fiat Governed CITY,

The leading and most commendablc
feature of the management of public
affairs Is the principle Of the sinking
fund. which Is applied to every enter.
prise or business in which the munlcl.
pallty Is Interested. Whatever debts u
has are OH the sure and safe road TO
liquidation by the automatic operation
of the sinking fund device. by this
means the city Of Glasgow will, inside
of fifty years. furnish free water to its
citizens: give them the best electric
lights free; electric or water power at
cost; allow them to ride on Its electric
road ut the nominal fare of . cents for
any distance, and furnish to all free use
Of a magnificent public library.
The city affairs are managed by busl-
ness men with the same prudence with
which they would manage their own
affairs: the question Of party politics
enter into no local election. and II seems
to be the object of the municipality to
administer the cl,y's finances In an
economical way. to Improve the public
health in Its physical and moral basis,
and to give brightness and the posi-.
b!llty Of happiness to civil life. Its sue.
cess In all these has been so marked
as to command the admiration of the
civilized world and to gain for itself the
appellatlon Of the best governed city
