Court Decisions.

1t is not our intention to question
the integrity of our courts, but it does
appear rather odd that they should
reverse their decisions when party In
terest demands it, In the case OF
Via VS.. Logan, Judge McWhorter de-
eided that IL was not necessary where
the intention OF The voter was clearly
shown thas his ballot should be writ
ten entire in one column. The SUI
pfeme Court OF the State decided a
similar case in q similar way. The
decision Of Judge McWhorter was In
the interest Of the Republican con.
testant. In the case OF Daniel vs..
Snyder, IN Fayette county, the same
Judge reversed his ruling. His former
ruling would have elected the Demo-
crat by over 300 majority His decis-
ion was rendered In the face OF an adj
verse decision OF the higher court, but
now the Supreme Court has reversed
its own opinion and agrees with Judge
McWhorter. And Ia every instance
the Republican is favored.

Nearly Equal Carriers Salaries Big
Increase in Mail Handled Other
Routes to Come.
An inspection Of the reports OF the
three rural mail carriers who go out
Of Morgantown show that these
routes are now sell supporting or
very nearly SO. The three routes
cost about one dollar each day for
the government TO keep up in the old
days OF star route contracts. This
makes saving Of ninety dollars d
month for the three,
At the same time the cancellation
is saved To Uncle Sam and this
amounted to the tidy sum OF fifty
dollars during tho 30 days Of April.
This added to the saving will show
that there is a very small amount
left to be paid out for the carriers
who receive IN the aggregate $3.50
for their services.
Few people expected the routes
TO sustain themselves or To even
come any way near doing it but the
figures speak Tor themselves.
At the same time they have prov

number Of pieces handled both in
and out have shown steady and
amazingly large increases. This Is
due to the appreciation Of tile. coun-

in the number Of daily papers taken
