The Fairmont West Virginian. (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1904-1914, 1907-11-12

Editor West virglnian:
Now is the time that the citizens
OF Falrmont should get busy over the
Federal building proposition. Those
whose voices and pens have influence
with the representatives OF the State
in the Senate and the House of Rep,
resentatives, should petition them to
use their influence to secure more
money for the building for which SIS.
600 has already been appropriated. All
Of our influential men, and many WHO
feel that they are not. should write tn
Congressman Hubbard and urge him
to put forth Is best efforts to secure
additional appropriations for the Uni
ted States building for this city. I'D
Congress meets on the first Monday
in December and Congressman Hub
bard should have letter from every
man that is interested in the welfare
of Fairmont If Mr.. Hubbard secs
that Fairmontcrs are interested In the
matter and he has the encouragement
from them he will urge that addition.
Al appropriation be made. Write Mr..
Hubbard. Write at once and let hin,
know that you are Interested in thu
matter. CITIZEN.

There are man good and strong
reasons why Ma should have IAN xttrra
session of the West Virginia i egisla-
sturegand there are some perhaps equal.
ly strong reasons why we should not
have. IT Is fortunate that the State
has such a leyelheaded executive as
Governor Win. NJ. o. Dawson to pass
final Judgment on this most important
question. Whatever he does will be
done after mat.re dellberation and
a careful weighing Of the proposition
in all its.phases and the people Will no
doubt feel that he has adopted the
right course. II is ct such times as
these that a wise and good chief exec.
utiye Is needed. II Is no small thing
to be the governor Of a State and that
Is point that ought never to he over,

AMONG THE EDITORS.

Judge Bennett and the Libel Case.
The Supreme Court OF the State has
lust decided that n judge Gun sit ir
an action for criminal libel when he
himself Is the man who has beer
libeled. The defendant in this case
Is Editor Johnson. of the Monroe
County WitGhman. and the Judge Is
w. r. Bennett, a iGrist who has fgur
cd variously in the public prints many
times before. The Waterman pub
lishel some severe criticisms OF the
Judge. but the truth or falsIty OF then
does not enter into this discussion
The charges, Il seems. concerned the
attitude the judge took in n criminal
assault case in Greenbrier county
that was tried before him. The Judge
objected to the remarks and had the
editor indicted for criminal libel. be
ing necessary to resort TO the common
law to bring about the Indictment.
The indicted journalist trie.x 0 swear
the Judge OFF the bench OH the ground
that he was mn interested pnrty, but
the judge would not, be sworn off. An
appeal was taken to the Supreme
Court. and the Supreme Court sus.
talned the judge. setting forth a null.
titllde of technical reasons, which The
News will not dispute. for It comedies
that the court knows more law than
It does.
Conceding points OF law, however.
does not prevent The News from ey.
pressing an opinion based upon the
broad ground of propriety, which, 1t
believes. will be shared in by all read.
ers, to the effect that in all decencv
Judge Bennett should never have nj.
lowed an appeal to be taken in this
case. hut should have retired from The
bench before even the request was
made. 1t is Idle to assert that the
state Is the prosecuting party in tho
state and not the judge. as he would
nave been In a civil proceeding: NOR.
ally the judge Is the prosecuting par.
~ and he elects under n tecfnicality
OF the law to try his own case. AS
rhe News said, the truth or falslty OF
me charges are of no concern in this
instance: they have been indisputably
we and lntrnthful. yet the fact re-
mains that Judge Bennett is lncitine

insisting unon trying the case himself

natural lives were they to be dealt
with In accordance with the strict let.

reason they; were not SO dealt with

fstrong enough to bring such action
about: He called attention to the fact
that twas nm indlctahle oirense to sci!

ses were paid from the fund so liberal
ly contributed by the Police Jury, the
City Council, and by the citizens OF
the town and parish to defray the ex-
penses of the Press Convention recent
" held here, the question naturally
arose as to what was proper to be
done with the said surplus. After
! consultation and a free exchange OF
views, it was agreed by all that this
vantage than for advertising the
parish and town of Lafayette. But
the amount being insufficient to dc
this properly it was resolved that a
meeting of the business men of the
parish and town be called to meet al
the court house on Monday, May Ii.
at s p. M. for the purpose of organic
a progressive league to put this idea
into execution in a practical and bust
nesslike way. We have one of the
best parishes of the State and we owe
it to ourselves and those who will
come after US to let the whole country
know it. We hope that the meeting
will be n~umerously attended.

The Cane Crop.
Louisiana Planter.

Copious rains have fallen dur
ing the past week all over the
sugar district and the sugar
planters now are a unit in pro-
nouncing the supply of moisture
sufficient. A succession OF hot
sunshiny days is what would do
the cane crop the most good at
this iuncture, and if such weather
could be had the already fine
prospects would be even further
improved. The fields Ire in a
splendid state of cultivation and
hence have been able to stand
the very heavy rainfall we have
experienced without special det-
rimert, but the grass is now be-
ginning to come up and an OPP
portunity to work the crop some
is desired. The whole crop out
look at this writing may be pro-
nounced extremely satisfactory.
