KEEP IT OUT.

The projected race track near
Wheeling may cut a considerable
figure in West Virginia Every
county fair association is against. it.
It is stated the legislature will be
asked to take action against it, or
rather against horse racing altogeth-
er in West Virginia. Such action
would materially injure the county
fairs, and yet, II a lot of gamblers,
which have been run out Of other
states, must be dealt with in such a
summary way. 1t may be that legiti-
mate enterprises can afford to suf-
fer. The legislation asked for in
this connection. however, should be
only against the proposed race track
near wheeling. Notwithstanding the
fact that some authorities on the
racing business. such as dominate
the turf in New York, say 1t Is to be
the only legitimately conducted race
track that West Virginia ever had.
The fact that these authorities say
that West virginia has the best laws,
which means the loosest. on racing.

so that is the day designated for this

serving this day from year to year
is steadily increasing and the inter-

because on that day in 1862 Con-

West Virginia to the sisterhocd Of

pLaTr SHOULD RESIGN.

News comes from New York that
the resignation of Thomas c. Plat
from the United States Senate is
said to be ready for fling with Gov
ernor Higgins as the senator has de-
cided to retire from public life. Re
cent disclosures concerning the sena-
tors domestic troubles and his adj
vanced age are declared to have fore
ed him TO relinquish the office.
1t is to be hoped that the news
is correct and that Plat will give
up the important Office which he has
been filing SO inadequately of late.
He as well as his colleague in the
senate ought to retire to private life
and give younger blood, brain and
Drawn the opportunity of doing the
work OF representing the Empire
state in the national senate. Platt is
70 years of age and Of late has given
evidence of feebleness. mentally and
physically.
It is not because of his age, how
ever, that Mr.. Platt should resign
the senatorship. but because Of the
feebleness which has rendered him
incapable. Not all old men are In
firm and the wisdom and experience
of age should not be set aside for
youthful enthusiasm, for energy and
enthusiasm combined with expert
ence and wisdom are the more po-
tent. 1t is high time for Platt to
retire.

to do great deal Of missionary

It Is a mournful tune the Register
has and easily is It discerned that
the Registers purpose is to bring
reflection on the integrity and sim
cerity q union labor. The trouble
with the Register is that 1t does not
grasp the fact that organized labor
has far deeper estimation Of poll
cies than appears en- the surface
sometimes. The real purpose OF un-
ion labor as we understand 1t is to
look after the welfare of labor, and
TO do that in its truest and greatest
sense is to support national policies
that bring opportunity to labor. The
foundation OF labor is opportunity.
That opportunity must be furnished
and national policies either furnish
or prevent that opportunity. Labor
itself knows this and labor also
knows what political party provides
opportunity. Besides opportunity
labor requires and demands some
other things. but these are not basic,
10 the contrary secondary. Had the
Democratic leaders and newspapers
reflected for moment on this fact.
they would not have deluded them
selves into the belief that labor
would not vote for Republican poll
cies, nor would they have been so
inpolitic as to conduct a campaign
in this particular that was SO pro-
nounced and radical as to drive the
vote Of the more or less antagonistic
elements to labor away from Demo-
cratic candidates. The Democratic
leaders should also have recalled
that labor does its most effective
political work by not being publicly
or pronouncedly identified with poll
teal movements. Labor thinks
quietly and votes quietly.

MAYOR GROWS ANGRY
At HIS POLICEMEN
THREATENS 10 SUSPEND THEN
But They FIRMLY Deny bis Accusa-
ton and Stand Pat During
the Entire Ordeal.

Because some one over tne teie-
phone fooled Mayor Harmer into
sending his policemen through tor
rents of rain to maize fruitless raid
on the Medsker hcne on West Lo-
Gust street Sunday night. he worked
himself up into rage against the
policemen Monday forenoon and at
! O'Clock in the afternoon, red as
sugar beet In the face. he had Police
men simms and White on the car
pet. Because they found no one
there to arrest and because he had
been tricked by his informant. he
declared vengeance on the policemen
and threatened to officially decapi-
.ate them then and there.
The officers did not take kindly
to his manner toward them and
lhowed commendable amount OF
punk under the circumstances. he
accused them OF tipping the matter
Of and as the result the girls had
.nade good their.escape. before the
policemen arrived. They firmly de-
MED this and became Justly indig-
tsant at the accusation.
The mayor went so far as to de-
mand OF them to relate everything
they said to any one before the raid
was made. They told him squarely
that they merely exchanged greet
lngs..
The declaration was made by the
mayor, when they first went on the
carpet, that he intended to suspend
them for ten days. but for good and
sufficient reasons he changed his
mind before they quit the carpet.
The policemen were not to blame
that the mayor was fooled by some
of his pretended friends in sending
them on wild goose chase. He
really ought not even think OF reek-
ing vengeance on them.
Again. he says he would not even
know the man, who sent him the
message, and would not know him,
we're he to step into the mayors of
fee. He also refused to tell the po-
licemen the name of the man that
caused the mayor to send them to
the Medsker place All things con-
sidered it looks like it was a put-up
affair to cause friction in the city
government, or it may be it was just
a bluff.
During the arraignment the police
demanded that the mayor name his
informants that they had tipped the
matter OF, but he refused to do so.
Some of the policemen are of the
opinion that the News editors did it.
rs they were there eager to see what
would be done. Perhaps, they have
Just had their ire aroused because
the people at the polls recently dis
credited their fake factory.
There seems to be no question
that some outside influence worked
on the mayor between the hour OF
nolice court and the time he had his
officers on the carpet an influence
designed only for mischief and tur-
m6il.

Stock Feeding in Colorado.

The stock feeding industry in Colo
RADIO has made wonderful advancement
during the past few years. but In no
previous year has the advancement
been so marked as in the year just
ended. The phenomenal advance In
sheep values and the consequent great
profits made by feeders has given an
impetus to the feeding business that
promises to last. Last year II In esti-
mated that close to a million sheep
and lambs were turned out of Colorado
feed lots. IL Is believed that during
the present season the number Will
exceed 100000. The profits last sea-
son TO the feeders was close to $1,000
900. During the coming season It Is
hoped that the profits will bo as large.
but the Increased eprice paid for the
sheep and lambs on the range. makes
this problemaiical. Thus. far. condi-
tions in tho feed lots have been ideal.
Prices on the market are higher than
ever and give every promise OF contin-
uing. lfsthcy do. the profits will be
fully as large as last year.
The greatest advance in sheep feed.
ing has been in the San Luis valley.
A year ago the number OF sheep on
feed in that section was estimated nj
150. 1000. This year IL is more than dou'
BILE that number. The effort now being
made to provide a market in Denver
for all the sheep fdttened in the state
will still l.furthepfboom this branch OF
the feeding business. as one of the
greatest drawbacks to the business
has been the long distance to market
which causes heavy. shrinkage and
a deterioration In the value Of the AMI
nal for slaughtering.
