VIII the machines that now control
the State government and several
towns and cities take warning from the
recent elections, or will they go on
with their high-handed methods until
the people smash them? The kind OF
government the people in the State are
being subjected to is disgrace and a
shame and why the people have not

Will the News tell us what kind of

The Fairmont West vlrginian

The Fairmont West virginian is
about the only consistent machine pa.
per in sight. 1t says that bosses are
necessary article and that parties
must have them no difference how
they conduct themselves. The West
yirginian deserves credit for its frank
ness and consistency at any rate
Parkersburg State Journal.
The West virginian said that lead.
ers or bosses are necessary and the
State Journal knows that this is true.
No army is very effective in the alb.
sence of its commander. The West
yirginian prefers leader to boss, but
nowadays the latter seems 10 be the
fayorite term among many newspapers
in and out of the State and we can
stand the use of 1t II our Republican
contemporaries can. But since 1t has
become SO prevalent we have been en-
deayoring to find out who the boss or
bosses are and who is. being bossed.
We can't get any light on the subject
md would like to be included among
TIE well informed, especially as re-
CARDS the bosses. The West virginiau
has none and does not know what one
looks Hike. We believe that such u
thing is imaginary. So believing the
talk about 1t seems very nonsensical
and absurd. Such talk before the re.
cent election was probably iustifable
IL. Pennsylvania, Maryland and New
York City, but there is certainly no
ground for 1t in West Virginia.

morning, and gave Brooks $140 of the

The First National Bank secured judg-

MARK TWAIN AND HIS CHUM

MARK TWAIN and the late Rev. Thomas
Nl K. Beecher of Elmra, New-York,
were great chuns. For years Mark made his
summer home at Elnira, and when the two
were together they were like pair of boys just
out of school.
One day Mark said; tom, I've just been
reading that interesting book Genesis, and I'm
impressed with the thought that we moderns
are not giving Adam, one of the greatest men
in history square deal. Here we go erecting
statues and monuments to generals and poets
and statesmen and actually forget all
about our first ancestor It's not right. Why
shouldn't there be statue of Adam some
where erected by his grateful descendants!
There certainly ought to be, Mark" re-
piled Mr.. Beecher, but nobody knows what
Adam looked like"
WELL" drawled Mark he'd probably look
as much like his statue as the average victim
does. vote we see to it that Adam gets his
rights"
The two set to work raising fund for a
statue to Adam. A citizen of Eimira still
living subscribed FIVE thousand dollars; but
that was as far as the project got for other
interests pushed it aside and it is now only
an amusing recollection.

in value. He put his hand on Gilbert

love he makes it for all he's worth. Eli,

mined propositions, or that it was con-
Quoted on the basis of getting at all in
formation, and had been given an OPP
portunity to know the information as
it was obtained, what the formulated
report is would have been of far less
Importance. In the one case the effect
of the predetermined report could have
been adequately protected against or
discounted. In the other case there
would have ben a feeling that the for
mulated report must be merely an en-
bodiment of the information adduced,
which information i'm its essentials,
was known. Though even under such
circumstances, the public would have a
right to know what the formulated re-
port was, long enough before it WIS
sent on, to give ample time for protest
or objection.
The whole principle of the thing II
that the public has a right to know
at all times the public acts of its pub
lie servants, and even to know those
private acts of it's public servants
which affect the public service.
According to this principle of publ
city, is the governor quite justified in
saying that it was none of his bust
ness how the commission acted? The
information was not being secured for
his guidance alone, as was that which
Halter was employed to procure. It
was being secured to influence legisla-
tion affecting the whole people of the
Territory. The whole people had a
right to know about it.

market columns Of almost any large
mainland newspapers. These reports
cover the data Of weather and crop
conditions, whether of sowing, grow
ing, or harvesting, as the season may
be, the acreage as compared with for
mer years, and the forwardness Of the
crop, as well as other conditions affect
ing the ultimate harvest.
The idea of the crop report covering
the entire territory of any particular
agricultural product originated with
Samuel T. K. Prime, formerly of
Dwight, Illinois, a son of the late Rev.
DR.. Ireneus Prime for many years
editor of the Christian Observer. S. r.
X. Prime has for more than twenty
years, and still continues, collected and
formulated the data of crop reports. At
one time he had more than 5000 regular
correspondents all over the corn, wheat
and Oat growing regions of the United
States, and his daily bulletins and
weekly reports on crop conditions were
held in the highest esteem. For years
he sent daily cable letter to some Of
the large grain dealers of Liverpool
and Manchester on the crop conditions
as they arose in different parts of the
Mississippi Valley His bulletins were
telegraphed daily to all the big grain
centers of the union. When the govern
ment adopted his ideas and undertook
to duplicate his work, of course the
more extended facilities it was able to
impress into its service displaced to a
considerable extent the work of Primes
Crop Bureau. But in spite of the gov
ernments oVershadOwing magnitude,
Primes reputation for good judgment
and accuracy in such matters, has en-
abled his work to maintain itself in
spite of the governments reports,
though to a large extent he has modi-
fed the scope of his efforts, expanding
them in directions not covered by the
government.
