The Times wronu AGAIN.

In SWING reasons Sunday why the
News has discarded the Fairmont
Times from It's legal stan one was
overlooked. The Times had advised
MS that Il leases were owned by a
nonresident person or corporation
they could be5taxed only ut the home
or principal Office outside the State as
the damicile could not be considered
as being in West Virginia. They could
not be taxed in West Virginia because
theoretically they are not owned
here.
Now, the South Penn Oil Company
is a. nonresident corporation and
Judge Mason holds that their leases
can be assessed In West Virginia.
Really the Times should take a sum

The gibberish Times has again

along TO withhold Judgment on the
new tax laws until the presentation Of
the tax tickets this fall and then form
their own conclusions, and we were

Grafton the matter could be deter
mined; but alas! the Times comes
forth with a brand new vision that
supercedes all past revelations and
says that political reasons will keep

We wonder e some priest or ancient
sage coull not induce the Times to
take another cast with its horoscope

lie postponed for a few more years so
that the grim spectre will be so re.

Judge John W. Mason has decided
that while oil and gas leases can me
taxed under the laws passed 10Y the
last Legislature they are not subject
to taxation previous TO 1905. If we
understand thia matter, we now have
three classes "a decisions along this
line.
1. The Supreme Court has decided
thass oil gas and coal leases may be
taxed.
2. Judge Mason has decided that
they can only be taxed from the year
1905 forward.
3. Judge Dayton has practically de.
cided that they can not be taxed a,
all.
All that we have to do is to find
another court or two to be absolutely
certain where we do not stand on u }
MISUNDERSTANDING State Journal.
The State journal lacks a little in.
formation, IL seems, in regard to the
action of the courts. The Supreme
Court has decided that coal leases
are taxable, while Judge Mason has
decided the same way as to oil and
gas. Judge Dayton has rendered no
decision, and declines to pass upon
the subject for the reason that he had
something to 90 toward the enact.
ment of the tax laws, and besides Is
interested in leaseholds.

CIVIL WAR NOW
RIFE IN RUSSIA
People are Organizing

Ravages by the Reds.
Special Cable to The Journal.

SpSCld4 Shu10 W Auo VVuEudA'
Moscow, Nov. 4.-What is. practical
ly civil war is now rampant in Russia.
The wholesale pillage and violence Gre
ated by the reactionaries, who are op
posed to the aspirations of the liberals,
have had the wholly unexpected result
of forcing the organization Of ma
stional militia for the purpose of de-
Tending the citizens against wanton
attacks.
Z In Smolensk and other cities the
zemstvos Of the municipalities are fur
nishing funds for the organization Of
local militia forces. The movement is
spreading and may reach the peasants
at any time. When it does reach them
it is predicted that the country will
be infamed as never before. Thus the
reactionary gang has accomplished ex-
actly what it has the most reason to
fear-namely the creation Of an armed
democracy.
The reform leaders are doing their
utmost to keep the populace in check,
advising them to hold together and in
sist on the realization Of their iber-
ties by force of their own united
strength and not to trust their deliv-
eranee to such ''saviors as General
Trepoff, who is now universally held
responsible for the reign of terror.

Optimism as to Russia.

Washington is taking an optimistic
view of the Russian situation. It is
believed here, for instance, that ST such {;
expected after the extreme tension
which preceded the czar's surrender.
: It is recalled that the. most serious
troubles, as in Odessa, are racial rath-
er than political. with the Jew as the
object Of attack. The anti-Semetic
leaders seem to have realized that there
was an opportunity during the present
unsettled state Of affairs to emphasize
their prejudices. In diplomatic circles
it is asserted that late reports indicate
the excitement is dying out, and that
the people are preparing. to make Sc
rious trial Of their new institutions.

BY wv. Jermane.

Washington, Nov. At is believed
that President Roosevelt is seriously
considering the appointment of Robert
Bacon to the position of secretary of
the treasury, in succession to MIR. Shaw,
and that it is for this reason that Bacon
was brought evers from New York and
made assistant secretary of state. He. is
much larger man than ordinarily fills
an assistant. secretaryship, and if it is
the presidents purpose to elevate him
to the cabinet, Bacon s present service
is merely to fanliliarize him with the
routine Of the executive departments.
Mr.. Bacon is rich man and belongs
tossone of the best families of the
metropolis. He is in the confidence OF
the financial interests of the country
and as secretary Of the. treasury would
insure. the SUPP ort ef5 n lsese int ;ests fol

questions Of tinanAY s'st.
1t is well known hat the president is
looking around foTfp the proper man te
succeed Shaw, andtthat his search fol
along time was not produetiveAof re
suits. There was much talk at onegtime
of Postmaster General Coretlyou for, the
treasury portfolio, but this has nov
given place to talk Of Bacon.
