THE CHILDREN'S HOME
SOCIETY OF WEST VIRGINIA

The above Society was organized
in 1896 for the care and training of
the orphan and homeless children OF
West Virginia.
Shortly after organization Hon.
H. G.. Davis, The Great Friend Of
West Virginia Orphans, gave the
Society home for their unfortunate
little ones, which is located In
Charleston, w. Va, supplementing
this generous gift by the yet more
helpful donation of SIoo per month
since 1896.
Into this home we have received
54r homeless children. They are
being admitted at the rate of 6, 8,
10 and sometimes IS per month.
We have fine lot of bright little
boys, ranging from / year to II
years old. We are anxious to find
homes for these homeless little ones.
Dear Reader:--Please help us to
care for them.
Can you not become a parent to
one of them1 Perhaps you have a
good home and no child to share il
with you. You can make the little
one blessing to yourself. They
are pleading daily for a new home,
new papa and new mamma. viii
you let us plead with you for them ?
If you will give one or more of them

REPUBLICAN GRAPT.

One of the Life Insurance mag.
mates has been arrested for giving a
large sum Of money, that should
have been sacred TO the widows and
orphans Of the policy holders, to
the Republican National Committee.
President Roosevelt declared before
election that no tainted money was
being used in his campaign, but the
evidence shows he was greatly mis-
taken, for the insurance trust and
other corporations "came down"
handsomely. The strange part Of
1t IS that the Administration organs
before the last national election
declared that the President was
managing the campaign on a "busi-
ness basis" and receiving daily re.
ports Of the finances Of the
Republican committee from Chair
man Cortelyou. Was the President
deceived or did he then think insur-
ance money was not tainted ? No
restitution has yet been made,
though it would seem that the
ethics Of the situation demand that
the money be returned to its right.

TARIFF FOR REVENUE
Is the Ideal Condition for Southern
Planters and Farmers.

There rs no crop raised in the
Southern states that is protected 10y
the tariff from foreign competition,
except a little sugar and rice.
There is tariff tax on tobacco,
but 1t does not protect the grower,
for like wheat and corn, the
price is fixed by the export demand,
there being surplus raised of all
those products, which must be sold
in the markets of the world IN COM
petition with other countries which
also raise a surplus. The price of
these products for home consump-
ton is therefore largely fixed by
what the surplus exported will bring.
Cotton, the money crop of the
South, is on the free list and there
is absolute tree trade IN that staple.
But everything the Southern
planter buys is protected by the
tariff and is taxed from IS to IT'S
per cent, which prevents most peo.
pie from buying the imported goods
on account of tins tariff tax being
added 10 the price the imported
goods cost abroad. The trusts and
combines that manufacture similar
goods here take advantage of this
tariff taxation and add to the profits
they charge for their products nearly
what the tariff tax would be on the
imported articles over and above
what would be fair profit. So
the American consumer, be he
planter, or whoever he is, Is com.
PEELED to pay the trusts and corpora
tions pretty nearly the same tax
that would be paid on the imported
goods. The difference being that
instead of the government getting
the tax the trusts and corporations
collect 1t in increased profit.
AS some Of the border Southern
states elected Republicans to repre-.
sent them in Congress, the voters
must have been led to believe that
the protective tariff was an advan-
tage TO them and that trust high
prices were a blessing in disguise.
But with wheat, corn, tobaccos
and cattle all protected by the
tariff and yet selling at low
price, while cotton entirely unpro-
tected selling at fairly good price,
the Republican argument that the
tariff protects the planter and farmer
is shown to be but campaign talk
and not born out by actual condi-
tions. The ideal condition for the
planter and farmer is to have the
unobstructed right to sell in the
dearest market and buy in the
cheapest market That can only
be brought about by the Democratic
plan, of tariff for revenue only, to
produce enough money to run the
government, when honestly and
economically administered.

1t is very disquieting to the nerves
OF Republican Senators when Sena-
tor Tillman each day reads to his
colleagues a letter, memorial or
affidavit, setting forth some particu-
lar instance OF unreasonable rates
or the abuse of power by the coal
trust against the little coal shippers.
This is the way Senator Tillman
gently stirs up the Republicans and
reminds them his pitchfork is still
in good order.

The Republican excuses for not
revising the tariff at the present
time really postpones the matter
indefinitely, unless they revise it
IS per cent higher, which is the
only change the Protective Tariff
League approves Some Republi-
cans want to put of revision until
the next session Of Congress; Others
say the next session will be too
short to take up the matter. Then
the excuse will be that business
conditions must not be disturbed
on the eve Of a national election.
After that the Democrats will be in
power, but the Republicans will
still fight revision to repay their
friends, the trusts and combines,
that have furnished campaign funds,

can you expect from the stand

THE SCANDAL.
This Means You. Talk, Tattle and
Tell.

Thousands of years ago, when
the world was still young, there was
born a terrible monster, and it has
grown stronger and more deadly in
It's work with each year of time.
The poison thrown by its tongue
upon all with whom it comes in
contact is more dangerous than the
viper's bite, FOR with the venomous
serpent it is certain death; but with
the other it is living torture. When
once it has been started upon It's
course OF destruction nothing can
stop it,-not even death. 1t must
and will do its work.
ALL when il is done, watch the
fiend incarnate stand at safe dis
tance with damnableleer of smile
upon its face still muttering Il
have succeeded. What more can
do2" Possibly if its store of poison
has not yet been exhausted, it will
throw few darts to the four winds
to drop where they may. There TO
remain in a sub-conscious state,
awaiting the approach of some in
nocent upon whom 20 vomit it's
vitrolic gall.
Through this influenc; mothers
have disowned their daughters.
Fathers denied their sons. Hus-
bands and wives separated. Broth
ers and sisters TO become mortal
enemies. Innocent babies made to
suffer. Pure sweet sisters have
been robbed of their good name,
and started on the downward path,
where harlots and thieves are TO
be found, the bottom of which is
worse than hell. Good, noble and
manly sons, the pride Of loving
mothers and indulgent fathers have
by this same blood thirsty being
been started on the road TO destruc-
ton. Sweet-hearts and friends TO
break ties more strongly made than
if bound by bands Of iron and laws
of man, but broken. Wars de-
clared. Nations divided. And of
the long category of sin and crime
there are few but what have many
times been caused by this same
monster, the Scandal Monger.
West Virginia argus. [volume] (Kingwood, W. Va.) 1877-1946, 1906-04-26

Among the most favorite
methods of this monster in scatter
ing its seeds of poison is over the
backyard fence by meddlesome
women, on the street corner by the
store box loafing man and in barber
shops and stores by the chair
warmers. All eager that they be
the first to start it upon its work of
destruction. Each add a little TO
the original; and make the story
as graphic as possible, even if the
facts must be stretched little, just
a little can't hurt and it sounds so
much better.

A Republican Congress is rich
field for the corporations and trusts
to get in their work, and when a
bill is pending that is intended to
plunder the people their lobbyists
gather around the corridors of the
Capitol like buzzards at feast.
When Mr.. Carlisle and Mr.. Crisp
were speakers Of Democratic
House. the corrupt lobby was
eliminated. But how different now.
Reciting the events on the considera-
tion Of the Ship subsidy bill by the
House Committee on Merchant
Marine and Fisheries. New York
newspaper says Lobbyists over
run the committee room and their
leader occupies a place at the head
Of the table prompting Grosvenor,
LittIefeld and Minor when any
witness argues against subsidy. 4"
Comment on such a national dis
grace is unnecessary, but voters can
draw their own conclusions about
who to vote for next fall, for it is
hardly necessary to say that all the
Democratic members OF the com.
mitiee are opposed TO the bill and
every Democratic member Of the
House is in line to vote agalns, IT,.
Why President Roosevelt recon-
mended this corrupt legislation IS a
mystery but that he encouraged
