of the lakes very favorable impress
sion would have been made by view

day evening The evening was SUI
perb. The Northwest was in the har-
Dor as was also the Junita, two beau
tiful passenger steamers. The News
boy made its usual trip around the
horn and the Booth steamer America
took a large number of excursionists
for a trip out on the lake. The bay
was literally dotted with huge freigh-
ters- barges, tugs, launches, sailboats
and skiffs. Not only is this true of
last Tuesday evening but any evening
you may see Il scene similar, An ideal
spot for q tourist is this place.
Once on time in New Hampshire
there lived a tight-tisted parson, who
run farm as his vocation and
preached as an avocation. lie had
fat pig in the pen, but kept his fami-
ly on Goldfish and potatoes. He had a
slab sided Yankee working for him,
who became very tired of the ever
lasting fish and looked with longing
eyes on the porker. The parson pro-
missed every week to kill the pig, but
time went by and the pig still breath
Ell the breath Of life. One day the
parson went to the village on an err
rand which kept him all day and at
the mid day meal the hired man, who
was grave, sauctimonious appear
ing fellow, was asked by the lady of
the house to bless the repast lie as
scented to her request, and asked the
following blessing:
"Oh Lord, look down upon our fare,
See fish and potatoes always there,
On fish and potatoes we must dig
Till Parson Powell kills the pigu
Next day the pig was sacrificed Elk

The Fairmont West Virginian. (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1904-1914, 1905-09-19
AttaekIna the eovernor.

Realizing that their attacks upon
the new tax laws are falling fiat and
that nothing can prevent the new sys-
TEN from being a success, the anti
tax reformers are gradually dropping
their criticisms of the laws and in.
stead are venting their spite upon
Governor Dawson. Now, we hear
that the machine must be downed.
Repeal the la laws used to be the
popular cry, but as that is useless
now, the noise continues in the shape
of savage criticisms of the governor.
Men who were vociferous in their
opposition to the new tax laws are not
making the claim that the governor
after all was n o responsible for the
new system, but that his opponents
fathered some of the most important
laws. This shows how the kickers are
swinging around. A few months e
the tax laws were called Dawsonism
and they were the Dawson tax laws"
Now, according to the same people
Governor Dawson really had nothing
to do with their enactment, and de-
serves 40 credit.
Happily such silly, inconsistent
twaddle will receive no consideration
from the thoughtful. The public
knows who should have the credit
for the new laws and will not hest.
tate in bestowing credit where credit
is due.-Wheeling News.
The Fairmont West Virginian. (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1904-1914, 1905-09-19
NEGRO DIsFRANcAlsEMENr.

The people Of the entire country
are awakening to the fact that the
enfranchisement Of the negro was a
criminal mistake, and the question
now presented is how to amend it,
Charleston Gazette.
Here is the bold and unveneered as.
sertion by one OF the leading Demo.
cratic newspapers of the State of ex.
actly what the secret policy of the
West Virginia Democracy is and what
It proposes to do II ever again en-.
trusted with power, The disfranchise.
ment of the negro. which has already
been practically accomplished in a
number of Southern States, is the pro.
gramme on which the West Virginia
Democrats hope to reach and main.
tain power.
It is no secret that the radical ele.
ment Of the Democracy sought to en-
graft an antinegro plank in their
State platform last year, but were
overrnled by leaders who acted on the
advice Of Henry G.. Davis, not because
they did not favor DISTINGUISHING the
negro, but because they thought such
a declaration in the Democratic plat
form Of the State that furnished the
Democratic Vice Presidential candi.
date, would have had effect on the
Presidential ticket.
And what is the motive? In West
Virginia there is not the excuse for
the negro DISTINGUISHING laws that
prevail in States like Mississippi. In
West Virginia there is not and can not
possibly be for many years, any rea.
sonable fear of negro domination,
There is not a county in the State, in
which the negro is in a majority, and
there are not tewnty counties in
which the negro vote is even a con.
siderable factor. There is no fear OF
negro domination. The inspiring mo
tive is simply the desperate desire fol-
office; and to obtain office the Democ
racy OF West Virginia is ready now
as It ever has been, to surrender hon
or. principle and Justice. to take ur
any cause however shameful, and es
pouse any issue however false that
for the moment promises success.
It is well that the people of West
Virginia are warned in time of the
purpose Of the Democratic leaders.
Knowing their purposes, it may be
safely assumed that the people will
icy give them power to carry them
out-Wheeling Intelligencer.
