The assessor is after you with that
trueand actual value affidavit. Whether
you are Republican or Democrat,
come up to the scratch, swear to the
truth, the whole truth and nothing
but the truth. You cannot afford to do
otherwise. Give in all your property of
whatever character at its true and ac-
tlal value. because the law requires
you TO do so, and do not abuse the as
SCISSOR. He is only doing his duty as he
has sworn to do it. He has no option
about the matter. He must do his
duty or resign. If the law pinches you
have your remedy. AS voter of the
state you can cast your vote for the
men who are pledged against the fake
tax laws as against the fellows who
excuse it. There lies your remedy.

We have been having some real
spring weather during the past week
and the buds are beginning to burst
into life.
Ohio, Maryland and Virginia have
each enacted two cent railroad rate
law. The same measure was lost in
Pennsylvania only because it was not
named in the cali for the special SEES
sion of the Legislature. Ofcourse West
Virginia will follow before another year
rolls around and why should she not?
If the railroad car run special trains
and carry passengers from Martinsburg
to Washington and return-and make
money at tat two-thiris Of cent g
mile why can they not make money
carrying passengers at . cents mile
on all trains?

President Roosevelt has found him
self supported by but mere handful
of the senators of his own party in his
great fight for the rate bill andis plead
ing with the Democrats to save him.
Government regulation of railroad
rates is a Democratic doctrine, pro-
mulgated by the party in its national
platforms and the President, in this
matter has taken his stand upon the
Democratic platform. This is not the
only Democratic doctrine which the
President has been converted to. He
has declared himself in favor of tariff
form and it is said only agreed with
Speaker Cannon to postpone that i'm
portant matter in consideration that
the railroad rate bill, which he regard
ed as paramount, might have the right
of way.

1t IS a pleasant thing to learn that
the United States supreme court has
not lost its usefulness. This it has de-
monstrated in the decision against the
paper trust, that corporation cannot
claim the immunity of an individual
In the matter ofyelding up incrimina-
ting evidence.
The court puts it aptly when it says
corporation is, after all, "an associa-
ton of individuals under an assumed
name.
The Standard Oil Co., for instance,
is but an alias for Sohn ID. Rockefeller
and III. II. Rogers, and some compare
lively small fry. They have been 60
ing to church while the Standard Oil
Co., has been SHINING. Yet, under the
very kind Of plea which the supreme
court has flung back into the face of
the trusts, they not only hold themsel-
ues absolved, but also the Standard
Oil G..
Would not any court be dense or de-
bauched to recognize such double inn
munity-accept an impossible alibi?
Corporate aggression, in its ruthless
stampede over human rights, has been
pulled up with sharp jerk. A halt
has been called upon the vast plot to
syndicate criminals against the public
and lay the blame upon an impersonal
eltity.
1t is now up to the trust bandits to
elect whether they will take their med
ic.ne as individuals or as corporations,
and in either case it ought to be made
bitter enough to put them out of bust,
ness forever.

Just a thought in recognition of q
papers.
He doesn't make much news. He
know mighty little about the Getty
ways, of making money. He has a
fine liking for clean financial methods
and hearty scorn for all that's crook
ell. Perhaps it is his manner of living
that makes him want to be honest
Let that mau see a problem play,
one of these things that serve to salts
fly the jaded appetites of metropolitan
people, and you'll find splash of red
on his tanned check and he will won
ner how it is possible for women to be
present.
Tell him about bribery and st ock
10 bling and franchise stealing, and a
few of the thousand forms of gougiug
the public and you will jar his faith in
4 the general goodness of humanity.
Just now this type of good American
citizen is following plow. Ii is hard

The bursting of the water main on
John street ought to eHectually settle
the question Of the need Of new main
both there and on High street. If the
council had not been hindered in dis
posing of the useless water-right the
work in putting in thes
mains would have been now under
way. When the main broke on We'd
nesday night it looked as if the fire
men would be powerless in handling
the Crawford mill fire and it was only
after the John street main was cut of
that they got control of the flames. Had
the fire been on John street the leak
could not have been cut off and what
would have been the result? Without
selling the old water right the council
cannet put in the new main and the
man who stands in the way is stand
ing in his own light.

Last weeks issue of the Farmers
Advocate of Charlestown contained
communication over the signature of
J. f. Wyatt making an unwarranted
assault upon Mr., S. w. Walker an
honorable citizen Of Berkeley county
which we feel certain does not reflect
the sentiment of the good, self respect
ing citizens of jefferson county. We
fee. that we have at least in some de-
gree been responsible in drawing this
savage attack upon Mr.. Walker by
voluntarily nominating him for the
State Senate and therefore called upon
to take some notice of the matter. To
those who have even a slight know
ledge of Democratic politics in West
Virginia, and particularly in the sec
ond congressional district, the charge
that Mr.. Walker is political traitor is
| known to be untrue and even SANDER
Gus. We have known every political
move OF Nr. Walker since he arrived
at his majority and we know that the
party has never had tIuer and more
loyal adherent than he. He has al
ways been in the forefront, true to his
party and his friends and this is the
first time he has ever been charged as
disloyai to the cause Of Democracy.
! L ike every other Democrat, Mr.. Walk
er has his right to support whom he
pleases before the nominating CONVEX
tons, Of his party but, like every true
Democrat, after the party speaks in
its conventions he supports the nomi-
nees do matter who they are or from
what county or section they hail. He
has not always been fortunate enough
to see his favorite nominated but he
kas never been known to bolt and set
, NJ independent candidates and thus
try to defeat the nominee OF his party.
| We know what his influence and his
service is worth and though, aside from
serving one town in the House of Del
/ egatcs pnd acting for few months as
! L. S. District Attorney for the district
OF West Virginia under second CIeve-
land administration, he has never held
an office, he has always given his best
services to his party and that service
has even been faithful and efficient.

Sneaker Cannon has announced that
there can be No tariff revision until the
people elect Democratic House OF Re-
representatives.. The Democrats hail
this assertion with joy. The Republic
cans have been promising the people
so long to reform the tariff and then

of this bold assertion from the speaker,
the people can no longer be fooled by
their false promises

advisability of allowing a bowling al.

that a license was about to be issued
to G. B. Bartlett of Woonsocket for
that purpose, mass meeting was held
to discuss the proposition. Resolu-
lions were adopted to have two petit
lions presented to the mayor and city
council, one asking the council to re.
peal that part of the ordinance which
provides for the licensing OF bowling
alleys, the other asking the mayor to
refuse to sign such license until the
council can take action on the first
petition.
Another petition has been circulated
asking the mayor and council to allow
the bowling alley to run. The question
will not be decided until the council
meets on Dec. 3. Because Of the agi-
tation, Bartlett, who had commenced
work on a building to be used for an

PRODUCE LESS GOLD.
Lack of Water is Serious Handlca

Lack of Water Is Serious Handicap
In Production Of the Mines.
The report of the state mine inspect.
or for the last year has been filed with
the governor, showing reduction OF
s2O4,6 in gold from the prior year.
But the report this year shows that
large mine did not report, this mine
being credited with $110,665 last year.
The last years report also contained
an estimate of $4,000 placer gold,
which was omitted this year. While
there has been general reduction
the great Homestake mine shows an
increase, reporting $5,0S0,000 last year
and $5,250.000 for this year.
The report shows 1000 men work
ing in the mining industry in the
Black Hills, the average wage being
$3.50 for surface men to $3.50 for
miners, and higher for skilled men.
Lack of water is being looked upon
as serious and is hampering the de.
velopment OF the mineral industries
Of the Hills.
The report recommends amendments
to the present laws regarding safety
devices in mines to make them more
specific in their terms. 1t asks for a
law requiring heavy wire screens
around cages when men are being car
ried in or out of the shafts, and also
asks for specific law in regard to
handling and thawing dynamite.
The school of mines is commended
for the work which it is doing for the
mining industry of the Hills.
The report shows seven deaths and
fourteen serious injuries from acct.
dents the past year.
