It Makes a Difference.

Editor Democrat:-Twenty years
ago, Grover Cleveland, through
his adjutant General Drum, recon-
mended the return of all old battle
flags to their respective State, as it
would have a tendency to bring
about an era of good feeling be-
tween the respective States. Those
flags numbered about 54O-44O
Confederate 100 Federal. And
what was the resultf
Foraker, then governor of Ohio
threatened to get out an injunction,
call out the MALTA, etc and feeling
in this section ran high, and some
were in favor of burning Grover in
ef1gy. But 10! what a change.
The other day both houses, with
out a dissenting vote, passed q
resolution to return these flags to
their respective States and eca1cel
newspaper in the country men,
toned the fact.
And where was Foraker and the
big General and othersP Mr. Edi-
tor we know that war is over. We
knew that 20 years ago but we can
not refrain from recalling this as
it goes to show what wonderful
change the whiregig of time makes.
We are blessed with good
memory; we sometimes wish that
it were not so good. Mr. Editor
here is the question that puzzles
US. Does it make a difference
whose OK is gored, or whose OK

Judge John Jay Jackson's Resigna-
ton Effective Impressive Scenes
in the Court Room.
Parkersburg, w. Va, March 10.
Sad and impressive, almost funeral
were the scenes in the Federal
court room to-day. when Judge
John Jay jackson, the last of Pres-
ident Linooln's appointees, laid
aside the robes of his office and de
scended for the last time from the
bench. His resignation. recently
presented. took effect to day, and a
hundred lawyers representing every
section of the state, were present
at the formalities. Thirty or forty
brief speeches were made by those
who had praotioed in Judge jack
sons court, all testifying to his
worth as a man, a jurist. Judge
jackson has sat in the same court
continuously since July, 1861. lon-
ger than other judge of the United
States court ever served and has
tried more cases than any other
American Judge, The eulogistic
remarks of the attorneys came from
the heart, as every lawyer who ever
practiced at his court loved the
Iron Judge" and many face was
wet with tears as the court was
closed for the last time with Judge
jackson on the bench, and he laid
aside forever the robes of the office
The date has been fixed for the
honorary banquet to Judge John
j jackson. 1t will be held on the
evening of March 80 at The Chan
cellor, and will be very elaborate
affai. The Wood County Bar,
which has taken the initiative in
the affair, has invited prominent
lawyers from all over the state and
number of local citizens to join
with them in the affair.
Besides Judge jackson the hon,
ored guests of the evening will be
Chief Justice Melville w. Fuller,
Justioe of this (the Fourth) judi
DIAL circuit, Judge Golf. Judge
Keller, Judge Pritohard and Judge
Dayton and the officers of the U
S Court for this district.

Behind every one of the inter
ferances of the United stated in
the affairs of the insular or Pam
American counties there is some
gigantic job or steal which is
sought to be perpetrated through
the power of this government.
The Panama shame is now his
tory, and a very black page that.
The PHILIPPINES was a greater
crime. But it is now too late to
undo the wrong of either. We
have them and the statute of limi-
tations runs against any inquiry as
to how we got them. But the lat
est outrage of this sort has not yet
reached condition SO binding on
us that escape from further entan-
clement is impossible. The Ssnto
Domingo middle is in its incipien-
cy and the preparation of crime
there because of our physical
superiority ought not to DO further
Encouraged. AS illustrating how q
great government can commit q
crime through its chief officers the
Domingo incident furnishes per-
fect picture. There President
Roosevelt has set the government
of the United States to collect the
revenues of the island and pay the
claims against it. Not the honest
debts for there has been no judic-
ial determination as to which of
the claims against Domingo. and
their amount, are just and fair
The most of these alleged debts
are nothing but fake and fraud
ulent claims, mere 6cticious de
mands which schemers have Great
ed, and then through the influence
of political pull had this govern
ment endorse their validity and
force their payment by means of
warlike demonstrations, sometimes
accompanied by actual violence.
One of the debts which the United
States is collecting is that of an
American firm of promoters whose
total capital and investment was
81 800, and their claim which this
government has endorsed and
whose payment it is forcing from
Domingo has swollen itself to
$4.500,0OO. This is a sample of
the righteousness of the major
portions of the forty-five millions
of debts which the United States
is compelling Domingo to pay

We notice that several papers
have published statement to the
effeot>+hat the Legislature abolish
ed the law providing that person
upon a second conviction for sci
ling intoxicating liquors without
license should be confined in the
penitentisTy one year. This state
ment is untrue. What the legis
lature abolished was the felony
clause in the statue providing that
a person, having a State license
therefor, and selling to minor or
person of unsound mind or an in
FAINT, or one intoxicated at the
time, should upon aseoond convic
ton, be confined in the peniten
tiary one year. But the felony
clause is retained in the law in re
gard to person having no license
at all. The proprietor of blind
tiger or other person selling with
out license. still has the peDiten-
tiary clause confronting him.-In-

Under the new assessment law
county assessors are required to
collect the capltation tax assessed
every individual upon his regular
assessment tour. That is to say,
when the assessor comes around to
list your personal property for tax
alton you must be prepared to
hand him one dollar capitation tax
when he calls. Under the law he
is not required to come for this
capitation tax but once and is
authorized to use the same means
in the collection of this tax as is
permitted in all other cases. Get
your dollar ready when the asses
sor comes around.

has resulted in an enormous ex

of the case. We are informed that

The County Court also employed

the United Mine Workers had en-.

What is the necessity for this
needless expense? If the Prosecu.

business and affairs of the county
without assistance. he should pay
his assistants out of his own salary
The tax payers and citizens are in
interested in this matter, and they
should stop it. Look what it hat
