STATES RIGHTS

One of the most radical and far reaching
movements in American politics has been

will be wiped out. State courts and leg
islatures, it is claimed by the admins
tration, have no jurisdiction to regulate
railroads. This means that every act by
every State legislature passed or being
passed since June is unconstitutional and
void. 1t means that 2-cent fare laws.
demurrage laws, safety coupler laws and
all railroad laws by State legislatures are
worth no more than the paper they are
written on. These matters must all be
carried to the Supreme Court before
Christmas, and it is expected that con-
troll of the States will be thing of the
past.
This refers to within State carriers as
well as interstate. The passage of the
rate bill has done more than ANYBODY

over common carriers. The Constitu-

him to pay less taxes on his railroad
properties in the State the Times this
morning said:
Senator Henry G. Davis is man
Iof far reaching influence, and has done
more to develop West Virginia's re-
sources than any man in it. He would
not sound an alarm unless there was
occasion for such alarm. He was an
original tax reformer until tax reform
ran riot in the hands of men who
simply sought to use it for purposes
Of political advancement. When,
therefore, he says that not mile of
new railroad~has been built since the
new tax laws have been Interpreted
to mean the partial contiscation Of the
earnings of new lines, and that. not
another mile Of new railroad will be
built under these conditions, it IS
time for those who wish well for the
State to pause and consider"
The editors Of the Times have
known Senator Davis for many years.
They are perfectly familiar with all
his railroad enterprises. Do the edi
tors of the Times know of one mile
of railroad built by Mr.. Davis or in
which he had or now has an interest
that was not built for the purpose Of
developing coal or timber lands owned
by him? Mr.. Davis poses as a public
benefactor and patriot and points to
these roads as the evidence. If we
are correctly informed, in every In
stance he and his special friends and
associates livery limited in number)
first bought up these coal and timber
lands at mere nominal price and then
made them valuable by building rail-
roads through them. We have no CON-
plant against him for this, 1t was
good business and should not be con-
demned, but we do insist that these
acts do not prove his patriotism. He
has grown rich in what was purely
private enterprises and we are glad OF
It, and hope he may live long to enjoy
It, but don't call it patriotism. Let him
pay his taxes on what he owns the
same as other people. No danger of
capital staying out Of West Virginia,
II it can get in on the terms imposed
on Mr. Davis.

AMONG THE EDITORS.
The e5 Per Cent.

In one of the late current magazines
is found an article which touches in q
way most pertinent on the employ
ment problem of to-day. One of the
distinguishing features of this article
is its criticism on the effectiveness Of
our public school system as a means
of preparation for the making OF an
independent living.
Students learn theory but little prac'
tice, reads the criticism. When they
leave school they may be fitted for
third rate bookkeeping or clerical
work. The work Of the school tends
toward special preparation for profes'
sional work. Yet this theory can not
be other than wrong since statistics
show lncontrovertibly that less than
five per cent Of students enter PROBES
sional life. No matter how important
the work of the five per cent may be,
the problem of making the ninety.fve
per cent useful in the world still re-
mains. It cannot be denied that many
lives are inefficient because Of lack Of
early practical training. Send the boy
to school. Load him up with theory
and then turn him out to handle the
saw or hammer. He will find to his
embarrassment that the lad who never
saw the inside Of a school and does not
know the meaning Of the word parse
will greatly excel him, and while he Is
learning something about practical
work, he will unlearp the theory which
has been beaten into him at such cost
Of time and money, The need OF a
good foundation on which to build tho
solid structure Of practical like knows
edge is universally advanced as on ex,
cuse for teaching the boy theory to the
exclusion of practice
The boy must be taught to think,
but he needs to think as much in
terms of bread and butter as in Greek
roots We must sooner or later face
the problem of putting the ninety'fye
per cent who do not enter professions
to work. To teach efficiently We must
establish a system Of schooling which
will lndlyidualize more; which will
tend to bring out in the student the
qualities which will make him most
useful and Independent In after life.
1t is well to have foundation but many
elements enter into the composition Of
the foundation that endures. Hunt.

DEMOCRATIC RErRoeREsg!oN..

If there ever was a period in the
worlds history when everybody and
everything seemed on the. upgrade
and moving forward with increased
hopefulness 1t has been in the past
dozen years. Private enterprises and
corporate interests alike have thrived
and progress has been stamped upon
almost every Institution and organiza-
ton in this great country. However,
there is one very notable exception to
the general rule in this remarkable
era of unparalleled prosperity and de-
velopment. That exception is the
Democratic party, the party which
thrives on calamity and which has no
hope of success when the people arc
happy and Contented. AS an exam-
pie of the retrogressfon Of the once
yirile and progressive party Of Jeffer-
son, jackson and Cleveland, We quote
from stitistics gathered in Preston
county by the Preston County Journal,
which show that the Democratic party
polIed fewer votes in Preston in 1904
than it did in 1890. Here are the fig
ures:
IN 1890 the Democratic party in
Preston county polled 1886 votes,
fourteen years later in 1904 the Demo-
cratic party polled 1,24s votes, a de-
crease Of 4S votes in fourteen years.
In 1890 the Republican party polled
2jsO7 votes, fourteen years later, 1904.
