The Wheeling Register after deVot-
ing about a column to tie praise OF
the West Virginian for making what
it terms a frank admission in regard
to the new tax system ends its com

as the following viii show:
'sThe West yirginfan should have
gone a step farther, and advocated
such a clear definition of the duties
and authority Of the tax commissions;
as would prevent him and Sis under

#ohces to make party capital at tho
sacrifice of the public sood.'
The duties and authority Of tho
tax commissfoneriare well defined by
the system under which he is 8 zfear-
lessly operating, but how he could dc
his duty without making party capital
would be a very dimculr task No

that would act to the gross detrtment

enforcement OF the law add to party
capital, when party capital depends up

now they were nowhere to be seen.
She demanded to be told what had

explained that, as they had made
good deal of noise, he had put them
to bed without waiting for her or
calling a maid.

she said.
