A Good as Well as a Wise Seleo,Ior.

We have seeu no criticism in re
& ,rd tn the selection of Mr.. Wise.
of Wheeling, as chairman of the
Republican State Committee. On
the other hand, the press seems to
think the selection a good one.
r Following is what the Wheeling
IntelIigence-which is published at
the home of Mr. Wise-says in re-
gard. TO the appointment:
1.-The selection of Hon. George
Wise for the craftsmanship of the
Republican state committee, was al
together judicious, and proper
recognition of Mr. Wise's splendid
service TO the party For twelve
years, George Wise has been one
of the Republican leaders and work,
ers, organizing victory and giving
freely of his time and money to-
bring it about. Those who are
familiar with the part he has played
in the last three campaigns, will
agree in the statement that with the
exception of Governor Dawson him
self, no man has done more to
place and hold West Virginia in
the Republican column.
The lntellIgencer is glad to salute
Chairman Wise, and predict for him
an unlimited measure OF succe S."

If one is to judge by his denuncia-

Tom McDougal, of the Ceredo ADVANCE,
Is getting to be a pretty good democrat
these ys.-Huntington Advertiser.
We always have championed and al
ways expect to champion the cause of
the common people as against the rich
corporations, and in so doing we are
sure we do not advocate Democratic
doctrine any more than we do Republi
can doctorine. Thus country has never
had a President who has gone after
monoplies, corporations and grafters as
has President Roosevelt, and is he not
Republican?

A correspondent of the Daily Mail
submits the following communi-
cation; "The Gazette finds fault with
the law regarding the collection of
the poll tax and then adds that
the State must have the money,
"having increased expenditures
hundred per cent since the Republi.
cans came into power" Every
school boy and every intelligent
person knows, or should know, thai
not one cent of the poll tax goes to
the State or can be used by the
State for general purposes. Every
dollar Of the poll tax goes to
the support of the public schools in
Kanawha and other counties. IT is
paid over to the local school
authorities and expended by them.
Therefore, it is ga great old law"
because it collects the poll tax at
the time the voter registers and the
schools get the benefit The Gazette
attacks speech of former Governor
White at Parkersburg and intimate 3
that he misrepreseuted the law az to
the collection Of the poll tax. No
one was more coLversant with the
provisions of the law than Mr..
White and no one was more &C
curate or careful in expressing him
self on such subjects, and Governor
White never denied but always ap-
proved the provision Of the new law
which provided for the prompt col.
lection of the poll tax and, if nee
essary, for The officer to distrain for
for its collection. The law has
worked well, so far, and the public
schools have been benefited by scores
Of thousands Of dollars annually
more than under the old law. 49,

WARM weather is upon us, cloth
ing stores have already begun to
display two piece suits in their WIN
dows and the Department of Agri-
culture has issued bulletin on the
coming of the Z year locusts. But
Congress shows no signs of adjourn
ing. This is not as il should be.
Thrifty members III both houses
want to be at home looking after
fences and such jobs of political
farm work. The lowing Of the kline
is waited across. the meade ". land
and The call of the blackbird re-
sounds from the thicket. but the
rate bill has the Senate tied up i'm
hard knot and instead of looking
forward to an adjournment by May
Is, there is now talk of a session to
June LIST or pei aps the middle OF
July. There are several things to
be considered before an adjournment
can be thought of. The rate bill
must be gotten ont of the way.
This can be done 10y either staying
and fighting it ont or by lining up
for a vote before either side is
ready and throwing the bill into
conference. It-looks now as though
there might still be weary weeks of
talk ahead and that the session
might be prolonged well into the
summer. The House is practically
ready for adjournment now, but the
Senate is the stumbling block. 1t
Is said that the conferees on the
Statehood Bill are ready TO report
and that there will be an agreement
to leave New Mexico and Arizona
out of the fight and agree on a bill
admitting Oklahoma and Indian
Territory. There is also in the
background the spectre of tue
Philippine Tariff bill which is
not as dead as some of its
enemies wish and which by devious
methods may be forced to a vote
on the floor of the Senate.
These three things are enough to in
sure the presence of Congress be-
meath the great white dome till
well INTO hot weather. And if both
houses do not look alive there NAV
be some awkward sequal TO the
threat of the labor unions to get in
TO politics and elect few members
who will do business, do it wrong
perhaps, but still get action and not
spend weeks and months in talk to
the interruption of real progress in
legislative work. Politicians in
Congress ought to realize the dan
ger better than the most laymen and
there is certainly every reason for
the active men in both honses to get
together and expedite business rather
then to run the risk of seeing it
pass into the hands of those who
might not run it so well but would
assuredly do it more expeditiously.

RAILROADS. FIGHT ASSESSMENTS.

DETERMINATIONS.

JERSEY CITY, Nov. 13:-The

of railroads having terminals here
and which claim that the city tax s.
sessments discriminate. against them.
The railroads arc. asking for a re
assessments. The Lehigh Valley,
Erie, Pennsylvania and Jersey Cen
trail railroads. and the municipality
were represented by counsel.
The attorney for the Erie and Lee
high Valley stated that the assessed
valution of real estate in the city last
year was sos, 900, 900. This year
it was, he said, $156. 100000, an in
crease of $51,000,0 900, of which SAL
600, 900 had been made in railroad
