much to the people, say SO; If you are
with Governor Dawson who, his crit
les say, is waafng this battle alone,
talk to your nelghbors about It; If
you want square deal in accordance
with the state constitution, throw off
your coat and declare yourself ready
to fight to the last ditch to get IT. If
you are not interested, just remain In
active and the corporations will soon
have the legal knot tied and get laws
passed to suit their notion. Where do

On the starboard side the Mayfiower

On her port side were the following
torpedo boat destroyers: Whipple,
Worden, Truxton, Hopkins, Lawrence,
Macdonough and the torpedo boats
Wilkes, Tingey, Rodgers. Stockton,
Blakely and DeLong. The submarine
torpedo boats Porpoise, Shark and the
tender Nina were anchored on the
starboard bows OF the Whipple. As
the stern of the Mayaower passed well
clear, of the saluting guns on each Of
the large vessels the President was
given his salute of I'll guns. All off.
GERS were in full dress uniform and
as the President passed each ship the
jackles ranged alongside with arms
locked in rigid lines to give him the
naval honors. The torpedo craft do
not salute with guns. but there was a
continuous cannonading of six-pound.
ers from the big ships as he passed
down the line. The President inspect
ed each ship carefully as he passed
and seemed to enjoy both the noise
and the display for his face was
wreathed in smiles during the tour.
The "West Virginia" In Line.
At the end OF the three mile run
the Mayhower rounded the stern Of
the monitor Arkansas and at the west.

saws the Parkersburg State Journal:
The Fairmont West Virgtnian in
noting that Governor Dawson is for q
two-cent railroad fare in West Virgin
ia on the main lines, says:
governor Dawson knocks the props
from under the First district Demo
Gratis on the two,cent fare proposition.
The governor is rarely on the wrong
side Of an important question, you
will find, IL you watch his movements"
The governor has read the State
Journal for great many years with
great care and it Is almost impossible
for him to go wrong.

MAJORITY AGAINST HIM.

Mr.. BryanS was warned beforehand
not to use the part of his speech per.
tanning to the government ownership
Of railroads, but he insisted on doing
1t and as result he finds the leaders
Of his own party very bitterly opposed
to him on this most important sub
1ect. A newspaper man interviewed the
National Committeeman present at
the Bryan home coming relative to
the proposition. Below is what one
Of them said on the subject:
There are thirtyfve out of the If
tyone members Of the Democratic Ma
tIonal Committee here. They are all
Bryan's frfends-I mean devoted to
him personally, as well as for what
he has dom nd3sacrtflced for his par.
ty 1 hase seen most of them since
Mr.. Bryat made his speech. have
seen GoYsrnqrs Of States, Senators,
and ex-sef as we'll as members
OF the Houae Representatives, ex'
members of that body, and prominent
Democrats from all parts of the coun-
try. They universally deplore that
Mr.. Bryan should have voiced such
doctrines as are contained in the part
of his speech dealing with government
ownership Of railroads. The other
parts Of his speech have met with gen.
sral approval, as far as the National
Committee is concerned"

The Parkersburg stote Journal has
one Of the wisest heads that are to be
found on any editorial shoulders in
the State. Listen to this declaration
as proof of what we say:
From a Democratic politicians
standpoint it may be that Governor
Dawson is to be blamed for watching
the interests of West Virginia in the
tax cases but it will be hard to con-
vince the general public that this is
go.

Crops are good in West Virginia
Corn never was better. The hay crop
was big. There is lots of fruit. All
kinds of garden stun.
There were 1856 people at the Bart

Horses are bringing big prices

easily worth from s175 to 1925, and
fine horses are commanding from $500
up. ANY kind of a nag is worth 500.
The Taylor county school teachers
passed a resolution favoring good
roads and another fayoring a law pro-

The slang expression ''23" has gain

Weather.Crop Bulletin.

Des Moines, Iowa, Sept. 8, 1906
The week ending September 3 was
much cooler than the preceding seven
days, but the average temperature was
nearly normal and was favorable for
the growing crops and farm operations.
The week closed with well distributed
showers which will be beneficial to
pastures, late potatoes and the belated
portion of the corn crop, especially in
portions of the central and southern
sections. The corn crop is doing
notably we'll in all districts, except in
limited areas where the rainfall was
insufficient in the latter part of August.
A large part of the crop is we'll dented.
Reports indicate that fully three
fourths of the crop will be we'll matured
by September 20, under normal wealth
er conditions, and all of it will be prac-
tically safe by the Both. Cutting oper-
ations will be begun this week in early
planted fields. AS whole the crop is
very satisfactory. Fall plowing is in
progress where moisture is sufficient.
General crop conditions are excellent.
