ginia owed part OF virgInia's debt
and on n fair. honest basis arrived
at the conclusion that Virginia real
~ owed West Virginia half a million
dollars and that West virginia did
not owe Virginia single, solitary
copper, These commissions author
lied and directed by the West vir-
glnia legislature asked for a presen-
tation of their reports to the Virginia
legislature and an adjustment of the
dispute. Virginia disdalnfully re-
jected all these offers and of her
own accord issued lot OF certlfi-
Gates and called them West Virginia
certificates to cover that part Of the
old debt she claimed West Virginia
owed. In name only are they West
Virginia certificates. Indeed, they
are forgeries and West Virginia
should and will stand out to the last
against their payment by this State.
In the end the Telegram believes the
courts viii so decide, and. there is
certainly a great unfairuess on the
part Of any newspaper to even init
mate that West Virginia has not
handled this question in a fair, hon
est and dignified manner, with no
thought Of cheating Virginia out of
her rights, but at the same time al
ways demanding what is right and

fact ought to impress the council
with the fact that sections of the city

has directed attention repeatedly,

the improvements are made this year
first take into consideration this fact

Croker's Derby.

that Richard croker's colt orby had
won the Derby. Everybody loves
Croker today" said Alderman Hag-
serty. 1t was not true; but in New
York at least everybody talked of
croker's victory. So records the
New York World, appending the fol-
lowing trite observations:
There are English gentlemen OF
wealth and title who all their lives
have pursued the derby blue ribbon
like phantom. There are English
families who have sought it or
dreamed of 1t for generations. for
tho Derby has been established for a
century and a quarter. Ancestral
forests have been cut down and
peasants have died by the thousands
in the filthy novels they had to live
IN that the ruin wrought by defeat
ed turf ambition might be repaired.
Statesmen of world wide fame
have shared the attempts and the
failures.
And now a grim gang leader in
New York, who by his hard fists and
his iron will and his power over
men came to be the Boss Of Tam
many Hall, rounds ont his amazing
career by winning in his old age
this honor that even kings have
coveted. Fate loves such contrasts.
No triumph OF his own skill and
nerve and daring could have given
Richard Croker quite the thrill OF
pleasure that he got from this tri.
umph on England's classic turf.

Public sentiment has reached that
stage that has awakened a number
of road oversers to the fact that the
public highways should be kept in
the best possible condition and these
oyerseers are now seriously studying
the question as to how, when and
where the roads shall be repaired.
This study will In the end work TO
the advantage of those who use the
roads, and It will not be long until
all the overseers in the county will
take a just pride in having the best
roads possible under the circum-
stances. In some instances, and,
perhaps, many, they are not to be
criticized. This season in partIcu-
lar there has been but little favor
able weather for road building. An
other handicap to the overseers in
their work Is the inability to get the
required number Of helpers. This
may be partly due to the claim that
labor and teams are not allowed
enough wages by the county conrt.
This is feature worthy of exam
ination by the county court as
great deal in road building is depend
ent on helpers, the number and the
quality. and neither number nor
quality can be had unless there is a
just compensation.

singing ink over alleged terrible
consequences of the new tax laws.
have the golden opportunity now OF
employing man to help them out

brain storms and increasing that
enormous deficit that is slowed away
some place within the borders Of the
state-no one knows where.
Over In York. Pa. calamity
prophet has predicted that after a
series of catastrophes the world will
come to an end in nineteen months.
There are to be earthquakes, inter
mixture of the seasons, awful de-
struction Of life in holocausts, many
large sun spots and other dire things.
So many world ending predictions
have been made by self-claimed pro-
phets and have come to naught how
ever that the York man will likely
see the old world revolving about
on its axis twenty months hence as
serenely as ever. At least we all sin
cerely hope so; and Old Mother
Earth has such a nice long record of
past services and regular habits that
there is every reason to suspect that
she will be alive. well and hearty at
The time when the York man says
she is going to quit business.
As 1t comes naturally and almost
instinctiyely to Democrat now
adays to find terrible evils and point
out awful consequences therefrom,
the inference can reasonably be
drawn that this fellow over in York
Is Democrat; that he has likely
let his trolley slip of the political
wire long enough to get it mixed up
with universities and hence his
world-ending dope.
Now here is chance for the
taxation calamity prophet newspa-
pers Of West Virginia to engage
amaa to help them out in their work.
He would be valuable acquisition
to that editorial band of terrorists
and could assist them materially in
matching up catastrophies and en-
1arging that deficit that they can
and only in their imaginations
and in their editorial columns. That
mis- predictions and observations
Should be wholly impossible would
of course be a necessary requisite;
and as the fellow has given COM
petent evidence OF his qualifications
Tor such a position the Times, the
Register, the Sentinel and the others
sAould at once communicate with
him and open up negotiations for his
engagement,
