Discussing the interference of Off
Gals with legislation. and noting in
that connection the attacks made by
White and Dawson and Judge Blizza &
and Major Elliott the Fairmont Times
says editorially, and the Statesman
n loTses it:
II there is improperly anywhere in
seeking to control legislative action,
the climax OF such improperly is
reached when the President or the
Governor of State forgets the high
dignity OF his Office and descends to
the purlieus OF the lobby, if not to the
lobby itself, to force his views upon
members Of a coordinate branch of
the government Isn't there danger
that in the condemnation OF Judge
Blizzard for being OF Charleston at all
we may forget the that Governor
OF the State has set striking and
signal example OF more fagrant
breach of official decorum than that
committed by any other ofliceholder,
be ne Federal or Slater The appear
auce OF the Governor before com
mittees of the Legislature time and
again in the last regular and special
sessions, arguing and insisting upon
certain action should have closed his
mouth againsts protests as to similar
proceedings on the part OF any other
office holder His action to prevent
the expression OF the views OF the
Federal officeholders to the Legisls-
ture will appear commenda bic only
when he and his official family, COM
posing the executive branch of the
State government, shall re.raln fro III
interfering or attempting to interfere
in legislative proceedings.
Attorney General elect May in his
testimony before the investigating
committee said that he had been com.
ing to the sessions of the Legislature
for four years, and during that time
the most active of all lobbyists that he
had seen was w. NJ 0. Dawson,
Secretary OF State and now Governor
elect.
In view Of all these things the vir-
tlous appearance OF the Governor
action to call Federal offlCeholders
away from Charleston seems to be
hut hypocritical cloak to hide the
NJ achinations OF an infinitely more
improper, offensive and daugerou,
lobby while it gets its measures and
influence fastened upon the Legisla.

On last Friday J. Samuel McCue

at Charlottesville, Virginia, Tor the
murder of his wife on the 4th day OF
last September. This case has attract

with more interest by people in this
section and any murder case for
long time. The case was most ex-
traorduary one. The McCue family
associated and mingled with the best

husband was prominent i'll business,

had been twice elected mayor of Char

he committed the terrible crime for
which he was put to death, he
was regarded as one of the most val

Detroit. August 1G.-The annual
convention of the International As
soCiation of Factory Inspectors open
ed here today The speech of Mr.
Bodine, who is superintendent of
compulsory education at Chicago,
was the feature of the day and ere
ated a mild sensation among the del
egates.
The speaker produced federal sta
tistics covering the past 20 years
showing that the industrial compe-
tition of women, children and ma
chine labor was driving men out Of
the large cities to fields of heavy
manual labor in mining and agricul-
ture.
He declared that woman was dcs-
tined to be the ruling sex in indus
trialism and continued
"Man, like the Indian, is dying out
and being driven out. In 1890 there
were 3,914,571 women who were en-
ployed in gainful occupations in
America. In 1900 the number had
increased to 5.329. sos. The birth
rate among the female population is
Increasing and the death rate de
creasing.
"It is just the reverse among the
males We are rapidly drifting to
the age of the eternal feminine,
when man will be a back number and
forced to return to the soil and to
those fields of labor where only his
physical endurance Will save him in
the struggle for survival
In discussing the competitive life
for the leadership in society the
speaker said:
Society is dying out at the top
II Is crystal maze of glass houses.
