Ifall the rest of the rich men wore A.
willing as Andrew Carnegie to have
their wealth revert to the people when
death divides them from it, there
would be little trouble in putting int
operation President Roosevelt'e plan
for doing away with "swollen 70 rtunes.'
When asked for his views on a grad
usted inheritance tax Mr.. Carnegie
has referred to an article Of his pub
lished II years ago, which, he declares,
still expresses his views. In this essay i,
after pointing out the demeralizing ef-
feet upon young men Of inheriting
great wealth, except in special cases, he
declares hinse in favor of heavy in
heritsnce tax.
He even goes so far as to imply that
at least half of it should be SO taken.
The increasing disposition to impose
such tax he calls "a cheering indica-
ton of the growth of = salutary change
in public opinion.

Tariff VIII BE The Issue

Washington, May S.-Once more
the tariff has come to the front in Am.
erican politics. Unless all signs fall re-
vision will be the issue in the approach
ing canvass for the election of members
to the House of Rep resentatives IN the
Sixtieth Congress.
SOCIALISM is rapidly sliding down
the incline as political factor. In
two quick shoves, President Roosevelt
has managed to direct attention away
from the radicals, led by Dunno, of
Chicago; johnson, Of Ohio; and Hearst
Of New York. He has done this, first,
by his proposal to limit large fortunes
that may be transmitted in this country
and second, by his entirely unexpected
attack on the Standard Oil Com any
With the passage of the railroad rate
bill, with prosecutions against the rail
roads engaged in carrying and mining
oial intrusted to the hands Of Charles
E. Hughes Of New York, and with
prosecutions looming in the near future
for the Standard oil Conn any ,one fails
to see how opponents of the Republic
can machine will be able to take much
advantage Of the radical raid which
was being planned by them.
$50 new the tariff has been forced to
the front again and the Republican ar.
gument Of unexamdled prosperity il to
be met with the Democratic argument
that, while the country is prosperous,
it is prosperity in which the manag-
ers Of the trusts are getting the lion
share, while the burdens of the tariff
are falling upon the greatImasses Of the
citizens in increased cost Of living.
That it 10 the purpose Of the Dem o.
cratic Congressional Campaign Com
Mittee to make the Steel Corporrtion
the center Of com prehensive attack
on the practice Of charging the Ameri-
lean consumer excessive prices for
trust made and highly protected artic-
les is evident from nearly all the
speeches that have been made by the
Democrats in Congress. The Demo-
Gratis hope to get the entire advantage
of the tariff revision sentiment in New
England, in the Middle West and in
the Northwest. The feeling in New
England, especially in Massachusetts,
is very strong in favor Of revision OF
the tariff.

The city election is drawing near
when the voters of Martins burg will
be called upon to choose mayor and
cOuncilmen to hold office for the term
Of two years.
There is no more important election
to the people of town than that Of its
town officers.
The Democrats are offering an ex-
cepti0nally good ticket at this time.
Mr.. Harrison, the candidate for
mayor is man of eX perience and bus
mess tact. He was born, raised and has
lived in Martinsburg practically all
his life. He will make splendid may
or and we are convinced that the pee.
pie will see to it that lie is elected.

To The ~ moerats OF Berkeley
County,

The unreasonably early primary in
Jefferson county, May 10, has been
used against the editor of the States
man, at our own home and among our
friends. 1t has been charged that we
are the candidate of the political lead
ers in Jefferson county and that the
primary has been called early for our
benefit. This is incorrect and unfair
We are a candidate of, for and in Berke-
ley county and absolutely repudiate
most earnestly any intimation that we
are the candidate of Jefferson county
or any of its leaders. We are so thor
oughly convinced of the justice Of
Berkeley county naming the senator
when she is entitled to the nomination
and the absolute injustice of holding
the primary in any of the other coun-
ties before Berkeley has expressed her
choice that we shall not enter the JEFF
ferson primary and not permit our
name to be placed upon the ticket for
their early primary. After mature con-
siderAtion we have decided that so far
as we are concerned this matter must
be settled by Berkeley county and If
we are not the choice of the Democrats
Of our own county we shall not enter
the convention.
We have served the Democracy Of
Berkeley faithfully and honestly from
childhood. Our contact with public
men and our familiarity with public
matters will enable us to render good
servics to the people Of the district.
We discuss, week after week, before
the people of our cou MY the questions
of the day and we do not need to state
our position on the question of railroad
and general corporation and taxation
legislation. 1t il well known that our
position on these vital questions 10
with, by and for the people, and upon
that platform we appeal to you.
Very truly,
&. w Boyer.

The Democrats have been in control
ofthe city government two years and
the improvement is apparent on every
side. The opposition must and does adj
NIT that the present council has done
splendid work. 1t was simply done by
the application of business methods to
the management of the city govern
ment and close attention by business
men. Do you want more Of this kind
of government? Then vote for the
Democratic candidates.

A Hero.

William B. Snyder, the 10 year old
son of Mr.. H. l.. Snyder, editor of the
Shep, erdstown Register. performed a
most heroic act few days ago in
which he saved his own and the life of
a young lady student of Shepherd col
lege. They were out walking with an
other couple and when they got to the
high Norfolk and Western railroad
bridge over the Potomac river there
was banter to cross on the bridge and
as the girls made the banter, the boys
were too gallant to say no, so off tn y
went. They got along well until they
were nearing the Maryland shore wht n
suddenly double-headed freight train
came dashing from the cut just ahead
of them. The couple behind happened
near a small platform and stepped out
of the way but young Snyder and his
com anton were not so fortunate.
There was no escape in that way. The
young lady in her excitement ran
toward the train, but the young man
with the most remarkable pressncel of
mind grabbed her, threw his coat over
her head and by force placed her on the
end of the ties and got down himsel I
just in time to escape death. This is
one of the most thrilling incidents that
has occurred in this ection in our
memory. The young man is justly
hailed q hero

The decline in the marriage and
birth rate is so serious in France as to
be made the subject of governmental
inquiries.
In England and other European
countries the same subject has attract
ed attention.
1t appears from statistics ju-t pub
ished that there has been a fall of 10
per cent in the marriage rate in Eng
land since 1880.
In the English birth rate the decline
has been continuous since 1905, but the
rate for 1903 10 the lowest on record
less than 26 per l 900 population.
Leading phyTcians and statisticisns
have read papers before the British
Royal Statistical society, showing that
the fall in the birth rate has set in as
general and growing movement all
over Europe.
Between the years 1876 and 1901, it Is
shown that in England and Wales the
birth rate has declined from 35 per
cent to % per cent, in the German 40
to 36 in France from 26 to %, in Aus
trla from 40 to SO.
In dealing with the causes of the
phenomena it was pointed out that
while war, industrial depression, bad
crops, emigration and other recognized
| factors account in a measure for the
falling birth and marriage rates, they
could not explain the singular regular
ity and steadiness of the movement.
The conclusion that was drawn NAV
be stated in nutshell-thst the desire
for ease and comfort, the rising stand
ards of living and the fear of poverty
have done more than natural and &C.
cidental Influences to bring about the
decide in fertility and the custom OF
postponing marriage or avoiding it al
together.

Editor The Manning Times:

Editor The Manning Times:
On last Friday Miss Riley
gave a school picnic at Reynolds
Mill, but the crowd was small
owing to the burial of Hon. j. E..
Tindal, whose death was sad
shock to his many friends, and
loved ones However, the pic
mic was enjoyed very much.
Some of the boys were sad at
heart on account Of another
boy being with their girl. So
you see, Mr.. Editor, we have
some sick boys as well as Turbe-
vile. I would suggest that they
drop the girls temporarily and
take a full course of P:sycho-
Pneumonia Gymnastics. Every
man knows that physical exer-
else is mental rest, and this
would enable them to come back
to their loved ones with q rested
and more determined mind to
win. In the afternoon a game
of bali was played between Pax
vile and Pinewood. A few errors
in the eighth and ninth innings
lost the game for Pinewood by
a score Of II to 10. However,
the two teams meet again next
Friday and we hope to win this
time.
On Friday evening Mr.. and
Mrs. C. M. Huggins entertained
a number of young people at
their home. Everybody enjoyed
themselves very much, and
especially about 10o'clock, when
ice cream and cake were served.
Many thanks to Mr.. and Mrs.

have another.
