The interest which has been aroused
in the country generally, and espe.
cially In this city and State, by tho
present discussion of ohlld-labor evils
is Of good omen, remarks the Phila-
delphla Ledger. The agitation In ia
vOr of passing even more stringent
laws or of supplementary legislation
for the purpose of aiding in the en-
forcement OF existing laws indicates
that the Commonwealth will be in the
forefront of a movement which has
the support of all humane men and
women.

On Federal indictment.

Cleveland, O.-J, P. Dawley appear
ed before Judge Wing recently and
asked that the amount Of bail for the
release of Mrs. Cassie Chadwick be

however, three other indictments
against her in the Cuyahoga county
courts. Mr. Dawley said he would at
once ask the state courts to fix the
amount of bail for her immediate re.

A Useful Hint.

Coal that is kept in dry and airy
place will burn much longer than that
which is kept in a close cellar with
no ventilation. When coal is kept In
an airless place it gets rid of Its gas
and the absence of this renders 1t less
powerful and more wasteful when
burned.

Speaking Of the reinstatement OF
lands in Mcnongalia county, the Nor
gantown Post says:
AS compared with Marion county
and many other counties our per Cent.
or aggregate Increase was not greater.
But all such comparisons are useless
as basis without knowing the reIa-
tive proportion and accuracy of the
old valuations. In any event the ine-
qualities between counties is of little
Importance. since all State taxes on
real estate are to be reduced to the
maximum OF cents from So cents on
each 800 OF valuation. and the local,
or county. district and municipal taxes
are to be levied by local authority.
and spent in the communities paying
same.
Taxes will not be levied or paid on
the new valuations till the year 1906.
Already the rate of levy for all taxes
on lands and lots has been reduced in
this county for this year on an aver.
age OF over 80 cents on each 800,
and in Morgantown about GO cents.
Tax reform does not mean, and
never was understood by its friends
and intelligent advocates to mean the
abolition OF taxes, but the equalization
Of taxes, and the correction of the
gross inequality and injustice that has
characterized the old system for
hundred years. Be patient with the
officers who are trying faithfully and
honestly to execute the new laws and
watch and wait development. This
does not imply that honest criticism
or suggestions of modification and
improvement are not proper or should
be discouraged. The new laws are
not perfect, but they are a great i'm.
provement over the old.

There has been desire on the part
of many people for long time that
some provision should be made for our
ex-Presidents-that they should not
have to go into retirement and rust
out. Not long ago 1t was suggested,
and 1t was by no means an unpopular
suggestion, that they be made life
members Of the United States Senate.
Now 1t is suggested as regards Presi.
dent Roosevelt only that at the expira.
ton Of his term he be made presi.
dent or umpire of the world, the opin-
ion being that all nations will agree
to such an arrangement. II is to be
his duty to settle any disputes that
may arise among the nations, making
wrangles or wars unnecessary. 1t is
believed that IL President Roosevelt
would consent to serve In such ca
pacity that the nations would agree to
such a combine.

Commenting on the remark of the
Charleston Mail that there is dis
position on the part of the Republican
press of the State to discontinue
throwing bricks at one another, and at
party leaders. the Parkersburg State
Journal says:
1.-THE Republican papers of West
Virginia can do more than one thing
at a time. They can see that the
party is properly regulated and that
selfish manipulators of It for their own
benefit do not run things eternally and
can also fight the Democratic party in
to its burial clothes.
"As to the papers throwing bricks
at each other. that is simply di.
version. Look at what the Fairmont
West Virginian and State Journal
have hurled at each other. What
harm have they done? 1t is true a
few Of the missiles may have missed
their object and hit such sheets as
the Wheeling Telegraph and the Nor.
gantown Chronicle and made them
bawl for the moment, but the hurt was
not lasting"

In the case of Annie Oakley against
the Richmond tva) News-Leader the
Supreme Court of the State has de-
cided in favor of the paper, holding
that 1t was case OF mistaken iden.
tity. not recklessly made, and that due
care was used. The court took cogni-
zance of the fact that suits had been
brought against 100 papers for the
same offense, and, looking at it from
common sense point of view, con.
clnded that the lady was after money
rather than the protection of her repu.
tation. 1t is refreshing to find a
court which takes reasonable view
of suits against newspapers.
