The Warrington Record quotes diff.
ferent newspapers concerning the re.
cent heavy rains in Mononga1ia and
Preston counties. Some Of the pa
pers attribute the rains to blasting on
the M. and K. railroad, others deny
it. This is the conclusion which the
Record has reached.
''The cause of the long downpotlr
in MonongaIia and Preston counties
may be traced to the blasting Of Dem
ocratfc hopes by Hon. George 9. stur

about as much about the effects Of

The new tax laws are getting into
full operation and before many days
the tax tickets viii show the great
saving made by those laws for the
great mass Of the people. The Demo
cratic newspapers that for two years
have been denying that the tax reform
would reduce taxes are now up
against some stubborn facts, and very
shortly their awkward predtcameut
will be manifest to everybody.
The only thing left them fssthe1r
usual statement that things will go to
the bad some other year. To be sure
even Democrats are no longer fooled
by that, but something must be said,
and what else is there to say? Well
they might call the new system fake
some more. But the sort of fake that
leaves a mans good money in his
pocket instead Of handing it over to
the sherif. is very apt to be approved
by that mans yote.-Wheeling Intel

SOCIETY, BUSINESS or poLlTIcs7

Tha vireinian might follow up its
attack ON Charley Teter and Sam
Montgomery because they happened to
spend few social hours with some
democratic business men and lawyers
at Deer Park last Sunday with SINH

rytng into the Davis family and there
fore tainting his Republication. When
a party sheet reaches the point that
1t attempts to drag partisanship into
the social circle it has reached the
limit Fairmont Times.
1t is all right for the Times to apol-
osize for Charley and Sam, but people
have pretty good idea how muck
business and society are discussed
when they meet up with bunch OF
Democrats at John McGraw's house at
this time in the year. 1t has been
pretty broadly limited that the candt-
dates for Congress in both the First
and the Second districts were decided
on by McGraw's Sunday guests and OF
course such important things ought
not be done without the presence OF

nsrANp pAr,p SAYS PRESIDENT

President Roosevelt has sent a let
ter to Congressman James 3. Wat
SON. OF Indiana, in which he takes oc-
CASTOR to say some very interest
ing things. He starts out by saying
that IL there were only partisan is
sues involved in this years elections
he would hesitate to say anything
publicly concerning the campaign. But
the President thinks there are very
important interests at stake and he
speaks SO that all may hear and heed.
One part Of his letter is OF far more
than passing interest and that Is his
utterance on the tariff and the trusts.
The President has been regarded as
a tariff reylsionfst, but his declarar
ton on the subject ranks him among
the strong stand patters." Follow
ing is what he says on the subject:
We stand unequivocally for a pro-
tective tariff, and we <eel that the
phenomenal industrial prosperity
which we are now enjoying is not
lightly to be 1eopardized. But wat
ever a given rate OF schedule becomes
evidently disadyantageous to the ma
ton, and where It is feasible to change
this rate or schedule without too much
dislocatlon Of the system, 1t win be
done. Let me add one word Of eau
ton, however. The question Of re-
syising the tariff stands wholly apart
from the question Of dealing with the
so-called trusts. !" The only way in
which It is possibls to deal with these
trusts and this great CORPORATION

h, its owners refuse to make commit
ments, they refuse tos give credit, and,
SO far as possible, they convert their
belongings most exposed to attack In
to money or into investments invo1r-
ing a minimum of risk, and therefore
less productive for the community.
The election of Mr., Hearst to the
governorship would give a great
shock to capital. 1t would produce
that state Of the financial mind called
want OF confidence, which Inevitably
produces contraction of credit. Cred.
it is based upon confidence in the Dor.
rower's solyency on due day-that is,
on the probability that he Will have
the money to pay his debt or the
goods with which to get the Money.
When credit contracts, when capital
goes out Of use, business IS checked.
Then come the familiar phenomena of
panics and hard times. Factories are
closed, nobody makes longtime con-
tracts, and only such shorttime con
tracts as are absolutely necessary. Tho
railroads carry fewer passengers and
less freight, run fewer tarins, and SO
soon begin to discharge their ,ier. Fix
penses are everywhere reduced by cur
failing the employment of Labor At a
later stage wages are cut down. II
the crisis is really acute creditors
press for payment, everybody PUSHES
to sell goods or securities in oder to
get money to meet obligations ara
prices fall. Then ensues more OF
less protracted period of business
Istagnation, during which nobody
makes much money, and those who
have no considerable accumulation
suffer for the necessaries OF life.
These are the perfectly well known
conditions that exist in hard times.
If the Hearst men really succeed IN
their purposes and make war as they
threaten to make it they win bring on
hard times. Depression AID want OF
confidence would not be confined to
New York State alone. Tor the fact
that in this chief State of the Union
man holding such beliefs aud
preaching such doctrines as Mr..
Hearst could attract the support of a
majority Of the voters would produce
instant alarm the country over. Men
would In disquietude look forward to
1908, and not without reason. Voters
who are bent on destroying the s.;ist-
ing social and business order viii Of
course pay no heed to warnings about
business stagnation and hard times.
But those supporters of Mr.. Hearst
who are not quite so unreasonable,
those intelligent men in his. following
who feel that things have come to
such pass that the evils they see can
be cured only by the use OF the club,
ought not to be SO blind and heed
less. They are sensible enough to see.
IL they only would see, that the burn
ing OF the barn and It's contents ta

rats. They would inftct suffering and
almost trreparable misfortune upon all
the people, nlnety-nine one-hundredths

may be, but transient and withta
reach Of other remedies, they invite

ance and consequence.
