Congressman W. B. Hubbard is ac-
tive in the interest Of Mr.. Shaw and
that in consequences he viii get the
solid support of the delegates from
the counties in the First congress
sional district.
Congressman Hubbard's activity
is explained by the fact that Mr..
Shaw is a potent factor in Marion
county politics and that the COM
bined vote of Ohio and Marion eoun-
ties denominate the First district.
It is only natural for Congressman
Hubbard to look to his fences"
AS supporter of Mr. Hubbard
and firm believer in him. the Tele-
gram denounces the Mails unwar-
ranted use of his name in the above
manner. and sincerely believes it is
right. when it says here that the
Mail has been misinformed or has
done deliberate Misrepresentation
but with what end in view, the Tele-
gram confesses it does not see nor
can it reason why the Mail should
be guilty Of this act.
The Mail makes itself logically
ludicrous also. when 1t declares Ohio
and Marion counties dominate the
First congressional district. The
facts show otherwise. Ohio county,
of course, has very important bear
ing on the politics of the district as
does also Marion, but the figures and
recent history show that they
do not dominate the distric,
but that Harrison county plays
very important part. In the NOM
ination of Mr.. Hubbard for Congress
Harrison county gave him more
votes than Ohio and Marion COM
bined. In the election Harrison
county did It's part well and gave him
a majority quite creditable, when
compared with those the other coun-
ties gave him, indeed. much larger
majority than Marion. Also Har-
rison county set the pace for Marion
in the nominating primaries, and now
with these facts given, why need the
Mail so far away undertake to make
the impression that Ohio and Marion
counties are the whole cheese in this
congressional district? 1t appears to
the Telegram the Mail is really fool
ish in this particular and dope, in
deed. It did hand out.

Hurtfnl Jokes.

In contributed article to the so
ciety column of The Times few
days ago, giving an account of a
party at the home OF Miss Nellie
Manley. among the list of guests
were the names of Mr.. and Mrs.
Howard Bartlett when they should
have head Miss Inez Manley and Mr..
Howard Bartlett" says the Fairmonr
Times. Evidently the writer
thought It was a clever joke on the
couple named, but in justice to the
parties concerned, We gladly make
the correction"
! This thing of cracking jokes on
friends at the expense of newspa-
per is becoming altogether too com
! mon of late. A few days ago the
i Grafton Sentinel had to apologize
for having published the account of
the marriage of a young gentleman
and young lady which did not take
| place. and the Telegram has Just had
the circuit clerk of Harrison county
married and living happily ever af-
forwards when in fact he has not
reached that important and blissful
period in his career although the
/ Telegram hopes that he has by this
time become cognizant of the error
| of his ways in remaining bachelor
and that there will soon be occasion
for the ringing Of the court house
bell at mold hour.
!. When Jokes OF this nature are Civ
en- as accurate information to a news
paper the newspaper is imposed up
on. Such thing might be permits
sible in the drivel and nonsense de-
partment of college paper but in
the columns of a daily newspaper It
is not. A daily newspaper builds its
reputation and patronage to a large
extent upon the reliability Of its news
reports and people depend upon 1t
for news that Is accurate; so when
one of these alleged jokes are pub
lished many hundreds of people ac-
cept the statement as fact. Imagine
what a serious thing the item about
Harrison county's circuit clerk might
mean to him in his matrimonial pros
poets!
A newspaper of the character and
standing OF the Telegram regrets ex-
ceedingly whenever one of these So
called Jokes" are published in its
columns. At its expense and short
laugh of the perpetrator the innocent
newspaper suffers sometimes the loss
of warm friends. patronage, standing
and respect and It can be readily
imagined that irremedial or at least
complicating disarrangements and
great discontinue could possibly
be caused. For the good of all con-
cerned the Telegram trusts that it
will not be imposed upon again, and
that this spreading inclination TO
put jokes on friends in newspapers
will cease to spread, and die the
death 1t deserves.

Railroad Commission.

Railroad Commission.
The general demand of the people
of the State for Railroad Commits
sion is partly voiced by the State
Board Of Trade in the passage of the
following resolution:
Resolved, BY the West Virginia
Board of Trade in convention as
sembled, that proper steps be taken
by the executive and legislative com
mittees of this body to secure the
passage of law by the next Legis-
lature of our State by which Rail-
road Commission bipartisan in its
character. consisting of three mem
hers. shall he created, clothed with
sufficient power and authority to in
quire into and correct any abuses of
discrimination that may exist with
reference to the shipment OF COM
modities in this State, and inquire
into and report as to the advisability
of some regulation of passenger
traffic.
1--WE believe that the time has
come for West Virginia to create a
Railroad Commission which will in
sure a better regulation OF railroad
affairs and the elimination Of any
evils that may exist. We hope this
subject may have your earliest at
tention and that you may aid with
your vote and influence this propo-
sition."
1t is not enough for the commits
sion proposed to he clothed only as
the State Board says. Such a COM
mission to do the most good must
not be so nude. There are in these
times OF danger and death some
things in connection with railroad
ing even more important than the
regulation Of passenger traffic, which,
1t is inferred. the Board means rate
per mile. That, of course. is de-
manded by the people and is quite
right. but there are still other de-
mands the Telegram has made in the
peoples behalf. most heartily ap-
proved by them, among which is that
the commission shall be vested with
power to criminally prosecute as well
as to civilly sue. The appalling loss
of life from wrecks such as have
happened in the recent past certain
ly urges the imperative necessity of
both State and National action to
prevent repetition and to mete out
justice to not only employees at fault
but the railroad officials as well both
as a company and individually.
In this connection it is not enough
that investigation Of such wrecks, col
lisions and loss of life be left to the
railroad companies themselves,
Some one should be fully empowered
to investigate them in behalf of the
public interest, and what body of
men other than railroad commits
sion. in cooperation with the author
tiles and the courts of the respec-
tive counties, is better fitted to look
into such matters? Certainly. II
such commission is given the power
to protect freight interests, 1t is
much more important that 1t be CIV
en- authority to protect human life,
for with human life gone, there will
be no occasion to protect freight and
regulate rates.
The State Board of Trade should
revise its memorial on this subject
so as to make 1t Enthusiastically clear
that one OF the duties of the propos-
ed commission shall be to protect
human life against onslaughts by
railroads.

Special to THE NEWS.

Special to THE NEWS.
New York, Jan. IA cable to
the American from London says:
Charles Russell. Baron Killowen's son,
and the Duchess of Marlborough's law
yer, have had severl conferences with
the Duchess recently to discuss terms
of separation to be submitted to the
Duke. 1t is expected the deed of sepa-
ration will be completed and submitted
to the Dukes lawyers in London soon.
The Duke recently expressed desire
to hurry the completion of the legal
end of the separation. He has planned
a long tonr in the West Indies soon,
but will not visit New York. Mean
while the Duchess agents have not
finished removing her personal property
from Blenheim, and huge vans are ar
irving at Sunderland House daily.
Everything points to the fact that
the Duchess has determined to make
the separation permanent, but will not
initiate divorce proceeding so long as
the Duke conducts himself properly.
