popelNc THE MAIN ISSUE.

As we have stated several times the
Democratic organ Of this city has been
doing everything in its power to KICK
up the dust and thus cloud the main
issue in the campaign, the new tax
laws. # hullyragS the Republican Off
cials and candidates for Office, raises
a turmoil about this and that and the
other because II can't face the music
on the tax proposition. II has proven
itself a falsiher and unworthy of con
tidcnce and the people Will not believe
what 1t says. II tries to insinuate
that the figures sent out by the Repnb.
lican committee showing the compari.
son of the taxes of this year with
those of 1904 are not correct. Again
we suggest that the SherIf's books
are open to inspection and We invite
our neighbOr to publish some figures
Of Its own If what We publish are not
correct. Every figure published In the
West Vlrginian or sent out by the Re.
publican executive committee was tai;'
en- directly from the record and Is Off
cial The people will hardly be de.
ceived, we imagine, by a paper that
dares not back up any Of It's state
ments concerning the new tax laws by
figures but depends wholly upon "rais'
ing smoke" over the burning of the
poll books OF Republican primary
election and blowing an enormous vol
ume Of hot air" generally. Why not
discuss the main issue at least once
in a while?

TAX COMMISSIONER DILLON.

It Is no use for us to try to conceal
our feelings-we certainly do like thai
man Dillon" Even since friend OF
ours who stands close to Governor A.
B. White told lis one day that he knew
who would be appointed State Tax
Commissioner and that he was a good
one" but he couldn't. give his name at
that time, we have been interested in
the man. When his name was an
nomced we took It for granted that he
was all right because of what we had
heard concerning him. From that day
TO this he has been before the people In
very conspicuous manner and In
very trying position. Few men in the
State could, in our opinion, have per-
formed the work of the important Of
flee of Tax Commissioner as well as
Mr.. Dillon. a man Of high purpose,
indomitable courage and rare judg-
ment, he has filled the place with re-
markable satisfaction. The new tax
laws in the hands OF a weaker or less
able man might not have succeeded so
well 'and, indeed we feel that they
could not have done So Mr.. Dillon,
standing steadfastly by Governor Da%-
son, has helped in enforcing the new
tax laws in more efficient manner
than many of the most sangllinc
friends Of the new laws could have
hoped at the very beginning. We do
not believe such man as Mr.. Dillon
ought to go unrcwarded by grateful
people and the West Virginian sug-
gests that he would make an admirable
governor of the Slate as the successor
Of Governor Dawson. We, give to-day
the address of Mr.. Dillon before the
State Board of Agriculture at Charles
ton. 1t is very interesting and instruc-
tive and we ask all our patrons, both
Democrats and Republicans, to read 1t
every word.

hi their endeayor % cloud the main
Issue before the people the Democrats
OF this county are trying TO ise ey-
cry conceivable question other than
the tax proposition. The platform ot
the party demands the abolition Of
the present Intermediate Court and,
according TO the statement Of Judge
HaymDna. the Democrats stand plelg-
ed to that action. So faras the Re
publican candidates for the Legisla-
ture are concerned they are willing
to do whatever the people desire In
the matter. IfJudge Mason, the mem
bers of the Marion county bar and
the business people Of the county
think 1t best to abolish the Intermed-
late Court, they stand ready to advo-
cate such a policy. The question is
now up to Judge Mason and the Mar
ion county bar, really. for the people
at large are not in position TO know
much about the business to be done
by the courts. Would 1t be asking too
much to have Judge Mason express
his views on the question and there
by help to settle this question?

HAD TO TAKE WATER.

" The Times this morning made a
feeble attempt to get under cover on
its break Of yesterday when 1t said
Hon. @. L. Smith and Governor A. B.
Fleming had nothing whatever to 40
with the creation Of the intermediate
Court in Marion county. 1t headed
Its editorial this morning 1.-THE Truth, '
thus admitting that what 1t said yes
terday morning was not the truth. Be:
low we quote from yesterdays ana
this mornings Times so the people
NAV see how 1t :"backed the patel"
and admitted that it was playing an
act OF deception. Yesterday morning
the Times said:
t'For the enlightenment OF the pup
lie. as we do not care'to waste all our
time in setting the Virginian Alright
on public matters, will say that the
Hon. Clarence L. Smith and Governor
Ia, B. Fleming had nothing whatever
to do with the creation Of the Inter
mediate Court Of this county"
There is no installing that language.
\ II doesn't say Hon, Clarence l., Smith
and Governor "A. B. Fleming had moth
ing to do with creating the BIZ pro-
yiding for a Criminal Court. 1t says
these gentlemen had nothing to DO
with creating the court itself, which
the Times acknowledged this morning
as follows:
tfThe Tines has never said that
.fJon. "a. 3. Fleming was not the gov
ernor Of this State when this phi be'
came law, or that he did not sign
It as the chief executive Of the state
Neither did It say that Colonel Clar.
ence L. Smith was not member OF
the Legislature when the bill was be-
fore the House, or that he did not vote
FOR IL. What the Times said was that
lloyarnor Fleming and Colonel smith
had nothing whatever to do with the
creation Of this bill BY this we meant
that they did not prepare 1t and were
not wholly responsible Tor Its crea

we submit the language above as
compared with the statement of yes
tefday when the Times said Messrs
3 Smith and Fleming had nothing what
eyern to do with the creation OF the
court and to-day said they were not
Sawholly responsible"

 Rev. w. B. 'Crumpton, President of the Alabama sAnti-Sa1oon League, and Senator J. D. Morgan, Assistant Super intendent, will be present.
 Dr. Young is a distinguished minis ter of the Methodist Church and is said to be one of the best platform speakers in the South. No morning service could be had in Montgomery because of a previous engagement with the First Presbyterian Church of Bir- mingham. The movement Is not sec tarian. People of all denominations are prominent in Its councils.
 The Anti-Saloon League Is not in partisan politics. It only seeks to have enacted a law, giving to each county the right to vote on the liquor ques- tion and 1t hopes also to secure the abolition of the present law. which allows twenty men to stand sponsor for a saloon on community.
 The citizens of Montgomery, ire spective of creeds, religious or politi- cal, are invited to hear pr. Young. He will address the citizens of Prattville tomorrow night
