Rotten shouts the Montpelier
journal over the revision OF statutes
just authorized by the general assem-
bly,. Nevertheless, the work should
be done. 1t will have been twelve
years since the statutes have been
revised, embracing the work of origi-
mating, tinkering and abolishing done
by six successive sessions. So many
changes have been made within this
period that copy OF the Revised
Statutes of 1894 is about as obsolete as
the laws of Draco. Reference must
constantly be made to the acts ofinter-
yening sessions, and a vast deal Of
trouble, perplexity and error results.
As years 90 by this increases. Re-
vision must be had at certain periods.
and it would seem that sufficient time
has now elapsed since it was done
last The index of the present stat
utes is a yeritable labyrinth in which
the seeker after knowledge loses his
way while fumbling for the keyhole

Dear, dear What will the good

duced in Congress bill providing for
the sale OF beer in army canteens
where the sale OF this beverage is not
prohibited by the state law The sub
ject OF the canteen has been a live one
for some years, before and since its
adjustment. The great majority of
officers concur in the opinion that con-
ditions at army posts have been much
worse since the soldiers have been
denied the chance to buy beer at the
capteen and have gone outside and
filled up on hard stuff. As former
secretary of war and as a believer in
practical temperance, Senator Proctor
combines information and principle
with the courage to take stand
where, in some quarters, he may be
misunderstood, for the moment.

While about everything else was
tinkered, no changes worthy of note
were made by the Legislature in the
highway laws. No radical plans,
such as the bonding proposition, or
the construction OF trunk roads, were
even presented to the assembly. Com
missioner Sanford had introduced and
did his best to promote bin requiring
that before any town should receive
from the state its proportionate share
of the state highway fund.- it must
have raised and expended on its own
account, for permanent road work, at
least twenty-five per cent. as much as
it was due to receive. This bill, cal
culated not only to increase the
amount of such work, but to stimulate
all the towns toward contributing for
the purpose, passed the Senate, but
failed in the House during the closing
hours. 1t deserved better fate.

AS TO ELECTION MAcHINERY

EhES=EI
Our nesghbor seems t. be getting a
editorial which it took from the West
Virginian some weeks ago. A great
many people in this vicinity, who are
recent corners. do not realize what
the Republicans hadEto contend with
in times past, and so for heir benefit,
and at the request OF n Of our val
ued subscribers, we reproduce an edi-
torial which appeared in the Fairmont
Index. the foster mother of the Times,
in the fall of 1892. The County Com
missioner referred to was Mr.. B. D.
Fleming, one of our most highly es-
teemed citizens:
The Recount.
The County Court is now engaged
in the recount Of the votes cast for
the Office of County Commissioner.
The Court has gone over the returns
and has ascertained the result for
every officer on h ticket except
Commissioner, and the result is stated
i'll our tabulated statement found in
another column. We have tried to
make this table correct, and it will
be found useful for future reference.
The result on County Commissioner
adding the vote Mr.. Fleming received
on both the Republican and Prohibit
ton ticket gives him a majority OF
ten on the face of the returns.
THIS MAJORITY is SO SMALL
THAT 1T CAN EASILY BE OVER
COME BY A RECOUNT. The work
of counting of the votes is very slow,
and it Will require several days to
complete it. 1t is understood that MI.
T. a Fleming, who was defeated on
the lace Of the returns for the Office
OF Justice of the Peace of this dis
trict, will demand a rccoun Of the
votes for that office. There has been
no demand for any our for any
other office, and doubtless there will
be none, for the 1najoritics are so
large that they could not be affected
by a recount unless some gross irreg-
u!arity was found and nothing of that
sort is charged and non exists. The
recount for commissioner will take
at least all of this week.-Fairmont

SHES at the Ticket,

The Times will not discuss politics
in this campaign. It will say a few
words now, and then hold it's peace.
We left the Republican party in 1896
and supported William ]. Bryan. For
eight years We have followed his lead
ership. We are with him to-day and
expect to be with him four years
hence. The ST. Louis platform is not
altogether satisfactory and the ticket
is worse. Roosevelt will be elected.
1t will take six figures to write his ma
iority in Kansas. This is our individ-
ual opinion and this is the first, last
and only mention OF the matter in
these columns.

TEN IN THE STATE.

Our municipal officers will visit tie
reservoir to-day to inspect the worK
that is fast reaching completion. IN
about six weeks the plant will be in

Pile, We imagine, know what is being
done on log cabin hill. If they did
know we feel sure they would appre-
ciate it. One thing is certain ami
that is they will never know anything
about the magnitude OF the work IN
less they visit the place soon, as the
most of it will be hid from view the
moment the plant is in working order.
The filter beds are very elaborate
c~ontriEances and when understood
their value will be readily recog-
nized.
a representative OF the West Vir-
sinian enjoyed a visit to the plant
yesterday in company with Mr.. Jo-
seph II. Rider, the engineer in charge.
This is the fifteenth job OF the kind
Mr.. Rider has constructed and he
knows that it will give results that
will be satisfactory to our people.
While it is costing ;, large sum II
money, yet he feels tnat all Fairmont-
ers VIII soon e that it is a wise and.
profitable investment. Mr.. Rider
k pleasure in explaining the work
ingS Of the big affair, and as he will
be here during the week., our people
should go on the ground and learn
from him as they can from no other
person what he is doing for them
and their posterity. That he is build
ing a work that will be
seems plain, and what is still better
it is being built in such a thai
it may be easily added to if necessity
shall ever demand it.
AS we lave before stated the res
ervoir will contain a three weeks sup
ply Of water, and having two filter
beds the. city can at no time be de-
priCed of clear and wholesome water.
Fairmont started out to have the
best water system in the State, and
We are glad to say il is now almost

Assisted to Defeat Hon. w. L. Wilson,
the Idol of Democracy.

But a few Short years ago Hon. w.
l.. Wilson was not only the idol of the
Democracy OF West Virginia, but of
the entire country. William L. Wilson
and the Wilson bill will live in his
tory so long as books are published
telling OF the history Of this nation.
When the free trade theories Of this
talented gentleman threatened to
wreck the financial institutions of the
land, certain Democratic leaders,
those high up in the councils of the
party, even Senate Henry G.. Davis
and. his brother, Thomas, were found
working might and main in opposition
TO the platform of their party and its
candidates. Henry G. Davis, now the
Democratic candidate for Vice Presi-
dent. contributed largely to the defeat
Of William L. Wilson.
To-day he is running on a platform
tina declares protection is Robbery"
Yet a few days ago he stated that he
was a moderate p~rotectionist.' The
question arises, n he himself must
answer to what extent is he a robber.
The protection on BAL and lumber
has caused West Virginia to come to
the front, to build more miles of rail
road and open more coal mines during
the past few years than any other
State. Out of coal and lumber DR..
Davis has made his millions.
Should fate SO decree, that Mr..
Davis be placed in the Presidential
chair, would he follow h mandates OF
his party or would he be an out n
out protectionist, SO far as the tariff
on coal n lumber is concerned that
so vitality touches his personal inter
ests?
If another William L. Wilson should
appear on the scene as a great leader
of Democracy in the coming campaign,
on the Second Congressional district
Will Democracy's candidate for Vice
President give him the knife? The
echoes of the past answer, yes

B6tTgE n NT5N
ParkeraS agE7rickSter.

The New York Tribune has discov-
cred, in the files Q fEthe Times of$that
city, an account OF the trip made by,
Judge Parker from Esopus to New
York on April Is, 1904, just before
the Albany convention, which was to
put Parker forward for the candidacy.
The Times story stated h a tae
Judge met Belmont and Sheehan, fix
ed up the platform, declared that 1T
was desired that the trip to the city
on the eve of holding the State con-
vention be kept a secret" and added:
""The platform which has been ap-
proved, and which will be presented
to the convention ;on Monday. is un.
derstood TO be drawn on ultra-con-
s%ervative lines. and to avoid all refer
ence t 0 the rocks on which the party
split in the last two Nationa: cam
paigns."
This confession is significant. The
platform which was adopted by the
Albany convention, and WHICH Parker
had approved before the convention
saw it, said not a word aborr silver
or gold. 1t was as silent on the f.
nance issue as was the platform
adopted at ST. Louis. Not only dit!
Parker see the Albany shuttle. but
there is a chance hat he melted it.
The New York Times is one OF the
loudest Of h Parker shouters. 1t is
not quite SO ~nauseating in it's praise
of Parker as the New York Evening
Post, and one or two other papers in
that 1rco1itU hpt If IyhonnC for him
just as yociferous1y as any of them.
Parker has voted for Bryan in 1896
and 1900. and would have supported
him in 1904 if Bryan had been nomi-
mated on the platform on which he
stood in his two campaigns. Possibly
Parker was sincere in voting for the
silver standard in 1896 and 1900.
What made Parker come out
against the Invasion at ST. Louis
which he approved. and pesaaps
which he melted, IT. at Albany a few
weeks earlier? Because evera of the
New York Democratic papers-the
World, Evening Pos and Times
bulldozed him .j1to doing his by
warning him that the st. Louis strad-
die would give Roosevelt a walkover
in the campaign. This is what sent
that Esopus telegram to Sheehan at
st. Louis. But ~the-sender of the tele-
gram took especial care not to send
it until after he had the nomination
securely in his hands. He could have
sent the telegram a little sooner, but
that would " defeated him for the
nomination II would have spoiled
his plans. BY the confession of one
of his chief a~pologists, Parker is con-
victed of being a trickster. No man
of that sort has ever yet been elected
President by the American people,
and none ever will if the people dis
cover him beforehand, as they have
discovered Parker.-Globc Democrat
