it respects to the Rathdrum Blade as

The Rathdrum Blade devoted two
and one-half columns to a senseless
criticism OF President Roosevelt's
message last week. If the president
could have anticipated such .criticism
from this influential source he would
surely have revised his message befo re
it was given to the public.

plane and hammer goes merrily on,
and in fact has increased in volume
since winter has set in.

road, "the purchasers thereof being re-
quired to look solely to the tolls from
said road for the payment thereof
In the act of 1882, fixing the toll on
all turnpikes, no requirements Were
laid down as to width, nature OF con-
struction of roads. in 1897 an act
was passed declaring that nc tolls shall
be collected on turnpikas that do not
conform to certain specifications there
in stated. Plainly this act does not
refer to the Cumberland road, since
it's description is laid down in the act
of 1882" 1t was this act that was
amended at the last session of the
Legislature. 1t provides that no
tolls shall be charged or collec3ed in
Ohio county, and any citizen of Wcst
Virginia may bring action or suit
to prevent the collection OF such tens
in Ohio county"
Mr.. Nesbitt concludes by stating the
reasons for his belief that the amend
ment of 1901 does not forbid the col
lection of tolls on the Cumberland
road, as follows:
From the legislation set forth, it ap-
pears that under the surrender agree
ment of 1928, the State Of Virginia
became a mere trustee of the road.
under the pleasure of Congress, and
that tolls shall never be removed
without the consent Of Congress; that
both Virginia and West Virginia have
always treated the road as a mere
breach of the contract with the Unite'l
States government; that by the act Of
1850 the Board OF Commissioners Of
Ohio county merely took the place of
the Board of Public Works as the
| agent of the trustee, to- wit: the State.
in carrying out the provisions Of the
trust.
"If by the act of 1901 the Legisla-
ture had intended to violate The agree-
ment between Virginia and the United
States Government; If it had inteEl-
ed ex parte to declare the interest of
the Government lapsed; if it had in
tended to repeal the provision of the
act of 1890 making the Board Of Com
missioners mere successors of its
Board of Public Works; if, in a word,
it had intended by n stroke TO
change the Cumberland road from a
national highway to a county turnpike
and to compel the citizens of Ohio
county to maintain it by tavation,
it would have expressed its intention
in so many words.
1T is my opinion that the Legis-
Iature did not intend by the amend
ment Of 1901 to take the tolls from the
National road"

doing business for a year or more and
has large holdings in the vicinity Of
Bellaire and Wheeling. The company
owns considerable river front, and its
holdings include the Morgan Rose
property, at Bellaire, which has river
outlets. The company has eight rail-
road connections.
There is some talk of the company
engaging in river shipments, but the
river coal men at Pittsburg do not look
upon the report with any great con-
Germ. They say that an effort WAS
made years ago to develop this trade,
and that it did not pay and was aband-
oned. Louis F. Newman, of Spring.
field, Mass, a promoter, has the affair
in charge, and it is reported that an
effort will be made through him to
float bonds for the company. Accord
ing to report, the money secured
through the sale of bonds will be used
exclusively for the purchase of coal
properties.
The names of several well known
Pittsburg coal men were connected
with the venture, but when. seen this
morning, they denied having any fiji
ancial connection with the concern.
According to a report which comes
from Wheeling, the company has com-
menced to distribute a large amount of
money in payment for coal lands OPP
toned some time ago, says the Pitts
burg Chronicle-TelegTaph.

|HID COMPETENT COUNSEL.
JUDGE JACKSON APPOINTED PROM
INENT ATTORNEYS TO DE-
rEND THREE TRAMPS
AND THEY WERE DISCHARGED.
The Grand Jury Presented a Num-
Der eff indictments in Criminal
Cases-The Postal Messenger Boy
Got on With q Light Fine-Other
Proceedings Of the Court.

There were several interesting
criminal cases in the Federal Court
yesterday. One matter which created
considerable amusement was the in
dictment of three tramps for attempted
postofice robbery, and the subsequent
proceedings. The evidence, it is I'M
derstood, was insufficient. The grand
jury returned an indictment, and as
the men had no means for paying
counsel, Judge Jackson appointed
Henry M. Russell, John A. Howard and
Gen. Alfred Caldwell to defend them.
The attorneys picked a flaw in the
indictment, and it was quashed. Judge
Jackson told the defendants he would
give them twenty-four hours to get
out Of town. Then he changed the
time limit to twelve hours, and the
defendants started out on a trot.
The grand jury reported in the morn
ing, finding the following indict-
ments:
Will Stout, Of Grafton, for stealing
mail from the postof1ce.
MILFORD Lemasters, Of Wetzel coun-
ty, for counterfeiting. He was con-
nected with he Montgomery case.
Harry Love. C. H. Harris and Ed
wad Goodwin, three tramps, charged
with attempting to break into the
postoffice ait Pruntytown last month.
The evidence against the three was
insufficient. The indictment could not
be made direct enough to hold them.
when called in the morning they plead
not guilty. The court appointed as
counsel for them Henry NJ. Russell,
Gen. Alfred Caldwell and John A.
Howard.
The court quashed the indictment in
the afternoon. Judge Jackson gave
them a lecture, after questioning them
and drawing from them their places of
residence. The court was disposed to
carry the case over to the next term,
but upon the recommendation Of
IlCoSCutOI OuO ditci, utClueu w us
miss the defendants. They went out
of the court room at a lively sprint,
amid the laughter of the court officials
and spectators.
David O'Leary, the postal messenger
boy, was indicted for opening the
p~ostofflce box of f. Schenk & Sons.
Through his attorney, John A. Howard,
he entered a plea of guilty. Mr.. Sho-
| walter united in a recommendation for
clemency, and the court imposed a fine
of $50, without any jail sentence.
The case of Harry Riddle, J. p, of
(Benwood, growing out of the street
railway strike, will probably come up
to-day.
WIN. Cantrill, of Kanawha county,
was indicted for making a set of
counterfeit molds. He was defended
by Ex-Governor Atkinson. Cantrill is
a blacksmith by trade. The set OF
plaster molds found in his possession
| are said TO stamp him as a genius In
work of that character. He was en-
fenced to one year in the State prison.

Our grand business it is-not to
see what lies dimly at distance but to
do what lies clearly at hand.
In doing our very best to be good
ourselves we bring tremendous uncon-
scious influence to bear on everyone
around us. No one can meet man
who transparently and constantly
tries to do his duty without being eth
er spurred or shamed by the encounter.
Young people especially need to
live above the flood from the begin
ming. 1t is harder to move up than to
settle on high ground at first. How
many young lives the world sees
wrecked every day! God himself can
not help a soul that insists on choos-
ing the low level and building there.
The soul that is overcome with
earthly cares and degraded by earthly
temptations has only to climb higher
up to reach strength and safety. The
floods of life can overwhelm us only
when we are on the low ground. The
man who lives higher up cannot be
overwhelmed!
Trust in yourself, and you are
doomed to disappointment; trust in
your friends, and they will die and
leave you trust in money, and you
may have it taken from you trust in
reputation, and some slanderous ton
que may blast it; but trust in God,
and you are never to be confounded III
time or eternity.
