nag. There Is no valid reason for
keeping this absurd law on our statute
books, since American shipyards, we'll
built UP on naval contracts, and hav-
ing the cheapest iron, steel and lum-
Der in the world, are successfully COM
peting with foreign shipbuilders.
Like our tariff laws this Anticipated
statute is direct inducement to the
formation OF gigantic shipping trust
and to such schemes of plumber as this
subsidy bill. And by the same token,
as the lowering of the tariff would pro-
baby be the best means of dealing
with the trusts, so would the repeal of
this restriction, and the restoration to
our people of their natural right to
avail themselves of good bargains in
foreign vessels whenever opportunity
occurs, prevent the great shipyards of
the country, necessarily few in num-
Der and backed by enormous capital.
from combining in vast ship building
trust and monopoly, and charging
their fellow countrymen trust prices
for ships. Already such combine is
foreshadowed, British capital to play
the leading part. The ship subsidy
scheme is directly in the interest of
and would tremendously accelerate the
formation of such combine. The
way to prevent it is to restore honest
and healthy competition by throwing
open American registry to foreign YES
sells owned by American capital and
manned by American sailors.
At least a million tons of foreign
built vessels are now owned by Amerl-
can citizens, who are forced to sail
them under foreign flags. What rea
son can be given for persisting in
maintaining a prohibition which has
been rendered obsolete and ridiculous?
The ship subsidy bill proposes to let in
a limited number of foreign built ships
and pay them subsidies. Why exclude
the many more vessels of this class
whose American owners would gladly
place them under American registry
and their country's flag, if only permit
ted, without asking dollar from the
national treasury?

SIMPSONS ELEVATION,

Although Sampson did nothing to
deserve recognition and acted the churl
in his grandiloquent Fourth of July
dispatch claiming all the credit for
the victory Schley won at Santiago, he
is made to rank next but one to Ad-
miral Dewey in the list of naval pro-
motions. He ranks Schley, who did all
that Sampson gets the credit for and
the benefit of, although at the out
break of the spanish war Schley was a
Commodore while Sampson was a mere
captain.
1t would be interesting to know the
secret of SIMPSONS astonishing sue
cess with the administration, though
probably not very edlIying.
His elevation which is slap in the
face of real merit is not calculated to
spur the navy ON to deeds of valor in
the hope of earning promotion, which
is thus shown to be the fruit of favor
itism, while heroism is stood aside to
make way for personal or political
pull"

THE BABY VS.. THE POODLE.

Lillian Russell, the perennial and
ever fresh footlight beauty, defends
her sex against the aspersions of a
Boston divine, who scores fashionable
femininity for preferring poodles to
babies. She says it is 'all rot about
women liking dogs better than babies.
why do women like dogs?" says
she; 'for the same reason that men
like horses
And then showing that all women,
including her own charming SELF do
not like dogs, she proceeds with de-
lightful contrariness to agree with the
divine whom she started to combat,
giving the dog worshipping members
of her sex vicious dig Give me a
baby every time" says the actress. 81
can't understand how a woman can
kiss a dog in preference to child.
1t is an insult to the baby. The dogs
place is in the yard, the babys in it's
mothers arms"
Thus does Lillian prove that she is
no less sensible than fair.

IMPORTANT STATISTICS
OF THE POPULATION OF WEST vIR-
GINA CITIES AND
TOWNS.
A List of One Hundred and Forty In
cOrpOrated Municipalities, With
the Number of Inhabitants-val-
liable Figures Showing the Growth
of Wheeling for Each Decade.

Special to the Register
WASHINGTON, D. c., February 10.
Commenting on the growth of West
Virginia's population during the past
decade, the census bulletin just issued
says the rate of increase from 1890 to
1900, which was 25.7 per cent, COM
pares favorably with that for the de-
cade Immediately preceding, which
was 23.3, but both are considerably less
than that for the ten years from 1870
to 1880, which was 1913 pr cent. The
first census of West Virginia was TAX
en- in 1870, seven years after it was
organized as separate State, and the
population at that time was 442,014
Since then it has increased by salts
factory percentages, and is at present
more than twice as large as it was in
1870. The total land surface of West
Virginia is, approximately, 24,645
square miles, the average number Of
persons to the square mile at the CEN
suses of 1890 and 1900 being as follows:
1900, 31.0; 1900, 39.9
Of the So counties in the State all
but one have increased in population
during the decade, the counties show
ing the largest percentages of increase
being Mcdowell, 1868 per cent; Tuck
er, 1880 per cent; Webster, 1873 per
cent; Clay, TO per cent; Marion, $50
per cent; Fayette, 55.7 per cent; Tyler,
52.6 per cent; and Randolph, 51.9 per
cent. The county showing a decrease
in population is Logan, from which
territory was taken to form Mingo
county in 1895.
There are 140 Incorporated cities,
towns and villages in West Virginia,
the population of which in 1900 was

TO SQUEEZE THE TAXPAYER.

Our Republican statesmen at the
State capital seem about to contract
the Mckinley commission habit. AS
the President has escaped personal re-
sponsibility in every grave crisis of
his administration by appointing a
commission to deal with it, so the Re
publican members of the Legislature
propose to refer the question of how to
raise enough revenue to meet their
extravagances to a revenue commits
sion.
The idea is said to be Mr.. Elkins's
suggestion. If this is true it will be
adopted. What the big boss says
goes" His is the only voice the buc-
caneering majority at Charleston are
amenable to.
This proposed revenue commission
would further provide Mr. Elkins with
places for six more of the faithful who
are hungering and thirsting for re-
ward and for whom even the new ju-
dicial circuit deal will not provide SUI
fcient places.
And for what purpose besides pro-
viding rewards for half dozen more
of the faithful? Simply to devise
means Of squeezing more money out of
the suffering taxpayer to fill the hole
in the State Treasury dug by incom-
petence and extravaganza and worse
where the last Democratic administra-
tfon left good round surplus.
1t Is not more money that is needed
at Charleston, but some decent re-
gard for the rights and property and
welfare of the citizens and taxpayers
"a little effort at honest economy,
less free-grabbing and plumber.

DIR. Kutnow, until recently con-
sulting physician to King Edward VII,
in denying that the King has cancer,
spoke with rather remarkable freedom
of his majesty, who, he said lis re-
markably healthy when the way he
has lived is considered" adding with
equal frankness: There is no disput-
ing the fact that his early designations
have told upon his constitution, but
not so much as to endanger his life
just yet awhile" 1t may be as well to
explain that DR.. Kutnow has just ar
rived on this side.

Congressman right In the Ohio dele
CATION! We read in the Associated
Press that Representative Brown, of
Ohio, standing in the centre of the Re-
publican side of the chamber, made a
speech strongly condemning colonial
policy and urging that Congress should
at;once give assurance to the Fihpinos
that the purpose Of the United States
was to give them independence.
Representative Seth W. Brown is not
a wicked, unregenerate Democrat, but
Republican from the beautiful town
Of Lebanon in Mr.. McKinley's State.
Where was Hanna while this was
going on? How comes it that the boss
ofsbosses has the delegation from his
own State so poorly in hand? This is
what comes of devoting all his time to
his ship subsidy scheme to Jimmy the
treasury. When the cats away the
m1ce will play Hence we read not
only of Congressman Brown kicking
over the traces and actually going so
far as to dare to ask the same justice
and independence for the Filipinos we
propose, or at least promised. to give
the Cubans, but that his reasonable
speech, delivered in the midst of the
Republican side of the House was &C
tually LOUDLY applauded" and "at the
close of his speech many of his asso-
ciates crowded about him and congrat-
ulated him
Where's Hanna! Bring on the gag!

faithful must be severely dealt with

piled and the mutinous members

constitutional convention completed

the exception of settling the deadlock

Gen. Maxine Gomez eligible to the

both factions are very anxious to get
