THE Hon. Charles F. Teter, Of
Philippi, is an active candidate for
the Republican nomination for Gov
ernor of West Virginia. He is one of
the signers of the protest of the coal
operators against the plan of tax re-
form, and is squarely on their side.
The Hon. VIM. NJ. 0. Dawson, of
Charleston, the present Secretary of
State, is also a candidate for the gu
bernatorial honor. He is committed
to tax reform, and is willing to stand
upon that issue.
We propose that the two gentle
men named make their fight upon this
issue. Give the people a campaign Of
education along this line, and then
submit the question to party prima-
ry vote.
This will show whether or not the
people favor tax reform.

A statement issued from Philadel-
phia on Monday says that 1.-The Penn
sylvania Railroad will suspend further
operations on a great part OF the vast
improvements and extension work
now under way. In all, tits estimated
that nearly 100000 ofnew work,
already under contract, will be stopped
within 80 days. Formal notice was
given Saturday to several contractors
to suspend work on November 10th.
Other orders of like tenor will be Is
sued soon. The purpose is to stop all
improvement and extension work from
which direct benefit cannot be derived
this year, except where the work is so
far advanced or in such shape that op-
erations cannot be suspended without
danger of serious damage to the work
already done. Heavy excavation work
will be stopped" 1t Is feared that this
suspension of improvements will delay
the letting Of the contract for the Shep-
herdstown cutoff of the B. & O, Rail
road, for the Pennsylvania has con-
trolling interest in the B. & 0. and
the same policy will likely be pursued
with it.

THE employees of the Pennsylvania
Railroad have been making strong de-

increased pay. The company's reply
is that it will not grant the demands,
but on the contrary will cut off about
1000 men because of falling off in
business. The intimation is made
that the employees may be very thank
full to hold their present jobs, and
strike under the circumstances is re-
garded as unlikely.

SOME ofthe opponents of tax reform
are trying to lessen the sentiment in
its favor by injecting partisan politics
into the issue. They assume that If
both parties can be divided on the
question that it can easily be beaten,
and SO they will work this scheme
along with others.
1t does seem to us that honest and
sensible men of both parties should
rise above mere partisan politics when
such grave affairs are 10 be considered.
If tax reform is a good thing for the
State, then it ought to be supported
by the patriotic men of both parties.
SO far as we are concerned, we are
quite willing for either party to have
the honor if it shall succeed in giving
the people relief.
Instead of being party matter, tax
reform is rather narrowed down to
fight between the great corporations,
the railroads and oil and coal opera
tors, on the one hand, and the farmers
and people of moderate circumstances
on the other. The latter have long
borne the burden in this State. The
former have waxed fat and are still
absorbing the vast riches Of our COM
monwealth without paying fair COM
pensation for the privileges they enjoy.
We think it is time they should pay
fair share of taxation, and they should
be made to do so.

Fishing and Hunting.

The angler will find In Utah ample op-
portunities to indulge in his favorite sport.
The mountain streams are stocked with
earny trout and the but little less gamy
black bass abounds in the water of Utah
lake. In season good duck hunting can
be had on Utah lake, the Jordan and
around the pools and lagoons Of the Salt
Lake valley. On the mountain sides
grouse are plentiful, and larger game can
be found on the mountain ranges Of the
Uintah and Uncompahgre reservation.
To enable people to reach these favored
localities without unnecessary expenditure
of time or money, the Union Pacific has
put in effect very low rates and splendid
train service from the Missouri river. Ac-
commodations provided for all classes OF
passengers.

=? STRINBERG Is SARCASTIC. %
Says There Are No Literary Men in the
:, -. II - u Academy :2.Ns-E


August Strinberg. Sweden's greatest
literary genius, has turned his sharply
pointed pen on the Swedish academy,
which is patterned after the French
academy Of immortals. He ridicules
the pretensions Of every member to a
seat in an academy Of 2litterateurs.
There are, he says, two royal record
ers, one antiquarian, a librarian, sew
eral professors, three bishops, some
historians, one envoye in all the aca-
denny only four who are literary men
and these only in their idle moments.
There is not one who has devoted his
life to literature. The poets, and au-
thors of Sweden have been crowded
out In favor Of historians, political
writers, scientists, and dictionary
makers. as5.s. rs
He even denies that the members of
the academy read literature and keep
In touch with the greatest writer's Of
the world such as Zola and Ibsen and
declares it to be highly absurd that the
Swedish academy should sit in judg-
ment In awarding the Alfred Nobel
prizes for literature. T.,
His article has created great stir
in Sweden-but the public quite agrees
