ixation. Not a one OF the entire thirty
five, however, left the banquet hill that
night without fuller knowledge and n
higher appreciation of the objects and
benefits of the order. There is no doubt
-ut that many of those guests viii APP
preciate the things which they learned
by becoming members of the United
Commercial Travellers. If so, the first
annual banquet given by the Clarksburg
council will have accomplished the pur-
pose It was intended for.
According to the arrangements made
b ythe committee which had the annual
meeting and banquet IN charge, the
councillors met IN their lodge rooms in
the Rookery building at !. 30 o'clock The

n. F. Horr. Secretary Treasurer.
w. D. Newton, Conductor.
r. r .Kobicgard, Page.
v. g. Swearingen, Sentinel.
c. w. Lcgsctt, and E. w. Wells, Ex-
ecutive Committee.
Following the election the new officers
ritualistic ceremonies of the ledge,
which were presided over by Past Coun-
ciIor William Brent. After the installa-
dion fourteen new members were ini-
tiated into the mysteries of the order
and three old members reinstated. They
were as follows: J. j. Crews, w. j..
Gold, j. w. Tracy. T. A. Furbee, Walter

At the conclusion of the ritualistic
ceremonies the Councillors marched in a
body to the Waldo hotel where the invit-
ed guests We're waiting. The banquet

A CHARACTERISTIC TRICK.

Railing over an imaginary Republican dlspo-
sfiou 10 complain Of Justice Brewer for views
on constitutional law which he has frequently
expressed in judicial opinions and in public ad-
dresses. without awakening the slightest criti-
cism by Republican statesmen or editors from
whom he differs The NewYOrk Evening Post
declares that the judges speech ut St Louis lis
lin fat violation of the only common law that
'the President knows-the law. namely, that all
Republicans must swallow their convictions
land support all that he does" And II adds
IN its own peculiar and characteristic vein:
The Justice. we dare say. would draw him
self up if any suggestion were made TO him
that he ought 10 be partisan on the bench
and would ruIfle In Lord Cokes style about
understand that we are changing all that in these
high fixing DAYS when a President announces
that he will pay attention to any constitu,
tonal provision which, in ms opinion would
reduce him TO impotence"
The President never announced that he would
pay no attention To any constitutional provision
which in his opinion would reduce him to i'm
potence. and The Evening Post" knows it per
fectlv well. He never said anything resembling
that malicious misrepresentation, either in form
or spirit In his letter of acceptance he did say:
The Presidents duty is 10 serve the country in
accordance with the Constitution, and ! should
be derelict IN my duty If used a false construc-
ton of the CONSTITUTION as a StiNld lbl Ne1h-
ness or timidify an excuse for govern
mental impotence.
The President, perhaps had in mind the way
James buchanan found IN a false construction
OF the Constitution shield for weakness and
an excuse for governmental impotence, and the
way Abraham Lincoln read in the Constitution
the ability Of the government To protect itself
in spite OF cries that he was a uSurper and
despot who was subverting the Constitution,
His disposition would he 10 follow IN the foot
steps og Lincoln rather than In those Of
Buchanan, Notwithstanding the natural prefer
ence Of the Democracy for the Buchanan method
of finding constitutional excuses for abandon
ing the nation 10 us enemies
Even The Evening Post Is not So far gone
in imbecillty as not 10 know the difference be-
tween paving no attention To the Constitution
when II limits the Presidents personal power
and avoiding a false construction of the Con
stitution which would render the government
impotent 10 protect national interests. II knew
1t was misrepresenting the Presidents utter
ance, and by a dishonest trick endeayorlnG
10 prejudice voters against him. Has il.
professed exponent Of high toned journalism
and superior morality, enough regard for an APP
pearance Of decency, now that il has been ex-
posed 10 retract and apologize. even If it does
not repent?

MR. CUNNEFN ANSWERED

Governor Odel makes convincing reply 70
Attorney General Cunueen's charges. and in
one respect nj least leaves his critic under the
necessity Of explaining what looks like an III
tentionally disingenuous statement.
Mr.. Cunneen charged that the Governor had
diverted State funds unconstitutionally 10 the
pockets OF beet sugar manufacturers. and dis
tinctly conveyed the impression that the beet
sugar bounty a new scheme for which
Governor Odell was responsible. The Governor
shows that beet sugar bounties ere estab-
lished under Governor Black in 1897. and con-
tinued under Governor Roosevelt, at the rate
of one cent pound. In 1903 Governor Odell
objected 10 the size Of the bounty The manu-
facturers claimed that they had gone into bust
ness under the explicit statement Of the law
that the States encouragement would be con-
rinued for not less than five years. The Gov
ernOr secured what was regarded as "A fair
compromise. namely a reduction Of the bounty
10 y cent a pound. with the understand
ing that il should cease altogether with the
appropriation Of l9O4-that is on the nav
ment in :wO years of the amount which under
the old pledge Of a Eve year bounty was due
in the one year of 1903. Mr. Cunneen thought
that bOunties were illegal ON "A new proposi-
ton his advice might have been followed. but
Rfter the State had FOR years been paving boun-
ties without their legality being questioned in
the courts auC since the new law was merely
q reduction and winding up Of the bounty
payments with due regard 10 the previously
pledged Faith Of the State, the Governor was
certainly justified in not departing from estab-
Ished precedent Oh the strength Of that opin-
Ion. How firm and consistent Mr. Cunneen's
opinion on the subject is may be judged from
his apparent consent 10 appropriations 10 en-
courage other Industries and private organiza-
tons.
The other items of Mr.. CunGeen's Indictment
meet with satisfactory explanation. II is easy
90 say offhand that canal contractor was over
paid, but the settlement Of contested claims
under contracts which the State terminated was
matter Of Judgment, and the fact that Mr.
Cunneen did not agree with hts colleagues as 10
the wisdom OF a particular settlement implies
no bad motives on either his part or theirs
The Attorney Generals complaint about the
fixing OF salaries for the Board Of Appraisers at
$1,000 apiece instead Of $1,000 for all IS too
petty for serious consideration. The obvious
intent Of the legislature was 70 give each men,
Der the specified salary. though the language

From The New York Press
BY inference MIR. Cunneen approves the SANDER
Governor OdeII contained in the platform
charge against his personal integrity. Though he
says he did not write the Democratic State plat
form, he has no doubt that tf Governor Odell will
address himself to the authors OF that document
they will remind him OF the facts which its
charges based"
Mr.. Cunneen has failed 10 disclose any OF the
facts and II anybody could possibly have evidence
of corruption in the Oden administration Il Is the
Attorney General While feel sure that Mr.
Cunneen'S statement obtained from him
