The editor Of the Salem Express
can not see why a popular RepnL-
lican should have standing with
Democrats. II is not at all sur
prising that the Express editor can
not grasp even such an easy one /;
contracted minds like his and the
narrow thought he shows are ample
evidence of his inability to view
anything from more than one stand
point, and that view is always Il
tsqnint at that. For his benefit, il
perchance he may grasp it, the Tele-
gram would call his attention to the
fact that there are many Democrat,
who are not so hide-bound as not TO
recognize merit in Republicans.
For instance, take the case of Prcsi-
dent Roosevelt. He is Republican
to the very core, but there are mil
lions of Democrats who think he is
the greatest President the country
ever had, and there are none who
say them nay. The truth is Repub-
licans are glad their great Presi-
dent is thought so well of by every
body, and the same applies to Jesse
Flanagan, although he is not Presi-
dent and never will be. But wllat
is the use to say more? The poor,
decrepit old granny could not under
stand it any way.

TEAcHERs. ACT.

The Round Table, with the
teachers and school officers has begun
to assume a greater usefulness than
it has heretofore shown by taking up
matters of state, which affect tile
schools, as shown by its action on
the cigarette. The teachers can be-
come power for good outsida Of
merely conducting the school room
and teaching the textbooks. The
Telegram congratulates them on
their action taken against the
cigarette and the valuable departure
they have made from the routine.
and it is earnestly hoped they will
keep the good work up. Let every
teachers organization in the state
make the same sort of departure not
only as to the cigarette, but in other
matters as well and it win not be
long until their power is felt for the
betterment of rising generations.
The Monongahela Round Table win
not meet again until the last week
in October or the first week in
November. 1t should be the larg-
est attended meeting ever held in
the valley. As it is to be held here
every teacher of the county can be
accommodated, and every teacher
and school officer in the counties
represented by the Round Table
should attend. The time has come
and the initial step taken to leave a
greater impress on the country than
that of being a mere worker at so

PENNsY DENIES IT.

The Pennsylvania railroad.
through its first vice president.
makes emphatic denial Of the
charges preferred against it BY
Governor Dawson, of this state, and
as a matter of fairness it is proper
that that denial should be repro
duced here, as Telegram readers have
read the Governors letter, through
the columns of this paper. Read
and judge for yourselves. The de-
NAL is as follows:
"The Pennsylvania railroad is not
and never has been an owner or
miner of bituminous coal, either di-
rectly or Indirectly, and, therefore,
could not have influenced the West
Virginia roads in which it is inter-
ested to suppress development of
that State to protect its own inter-
ests. Certainly there has been no
prompting on the part of the Penn
sylvania in regard to the Red Roc,;
case or any other similar case.
Yes | have read Governor Daw-
sons letter and think the Governor
must have jumped as some Of his
conclusions.
Notwithstanding the Pennsyl-
vania railroad interests in the Bal.
timore & Ohio, Chesapeake & Ohio
and the Norfolk & Western the Of
ficers of these companies have been
in as full control of the propertie:
they operate as they were before the
Pennsylvania acquired an interest
And whatever interest they have
exerted has been toward urging the
Improvement and development OF
the roads.
'The best evidence Of this is the
vast expenditures that have been
maae, the better service given ard
the prosperity Of, the roads, as We'll
as the country they serve. Without
remembering the figures, / venture
to say that the movement of coal to
tidewater or the West has increased
in greater proportion than on the
Pennsylvania railroad.
mo matter what other faults may
BE found with Pennsylvania manage
ment it cannot be said that it ever
was a suppressor of trade, bnt al
ways an active and energetic de-
veloper."

work of that illustrous man in pre-

built and lived in a log cabin. There
the mother died and his father mar
RED a second time. In 1880 the
family moved to Illinois, locating on
a farm in Macon county, near DE

in building a log cabin, breaking
