Whites FearIessness.

Under the above head, the
Wheeling News speaks as follows
In regard to Governor Whites ia
nous speecy at the bankers ban
quet. The metamorphosis of Albert
Blakeslee White from a sold, calcu'
lating politician Of undoubted
shrewdness and ability who pla ced
the success of lis party above all
else, into statesman of broad and
liberal views with the interests Of
the people regardless of politics at
heart, has been one of the most
pleasing things In the history OF
West Virginia.
"The quoted utterances show what
a fearless man West Virginia has
for a Governor. Two years In the
gubernatorial chair have broadeued
him and given him the knowledge
that the tax system of the State Is
so unjust that 1t amounts to little
less than organized robbery.
Knowing this the governor Is de-
te-mined that the wrong shall be
eradicated no matter at what cost.
HE was courageous enough to
announce that he would continue
on his course no matter what the
attitude of his party. Political ex-
pediency will not prevent the &C
compllshment of reform, and the
governor by inference warns his
party that 1t Is In danger of rubbing
against the peoples wrath. These
words coming from the mouth OF a
partisan are prophetic and argue
better things for the State.
1T Is small wonder that Cover
White still persists In his fight for
honest taxation. It Is the reverse
how the large corporate interests
have the effrontery to oppose the
measures considering that the ma
jority of the members of the com
mission that framed them, Henry
G. Davis, W.P. Hubbard, ard John
H. Holt have all their lives been
identified with the industries most
affected, and therefore spoke by the
card. Mr.. Davis Is probably the
largest holder of coal, railroad, oil
and timber stock In the State and
when he announces that those In
terests are not paying their share
of the taxes he knows what he IS
talking about. But unfortunately
all the large investors In the State
are not so unselfsh as Mr.. Davis. !"
The utterance of the Governor at
the banquet are typical of the true
character of the man. Like Presi-
dent Roosevelt Mr.. White has the
courage of his convictions. The
Governor has given deep attention
to the system of taxation In oper-
atoms In this State and Is deeply
impressed with its evils. The ad d,
dress which has excited such wide
spread comment was the result of
long meditation upon great prob
lem. 1t was the earnest expression
of an honest man upon great Issue.

Necessity of Primary Law.
Measure Is Endorsed.

q am sure that the masses of the vot- CTS of the democratic party are the earn est and unyielding advocates of the ap- plication of the primary for the nomina- tion of all our state and federal officers, unless some insurmountable obstacle de- mands the holding of a convention. think we should, if the same be practica- ble, select our delegates by primary in- stead of conventions to our next national democratic convention. It is quite cer- tain that congressman will be nominated next year by primary. If so, we can at the same time elect our delegates to the national convention for the state at large and each district. The importance of these delegates being selected in this way and not by convention, must be patent, for by this method alone can the real pre- ferences and views of the body of the democrats of the state be expressed as to candidates and platform.
 q believe this to be a vital and inn portant period in the history of our par ty and we should guard against taking any step or espousing any policy not in- volving principle and the true welfare of our party leading to dissatisfaction, crit icism. friction and murmurings in our ranks. The adoption of fair primary for our nominations is pursuasive of all confidence and trust and removes every cause. of complaint.
