THE C. E. o. INDICTED,

We are told that among the indict-
ments found week or SO ago in Fay.
cite Co.. w. Va, was one against the
G. & o. for selling liquor. 1t arose this
way: The Pullman cars travelling
through that county dispense bevera-
ges along the line. While within the
confines of Fayette some thirsty trav-
elers called for -stimulants and they
were served. We are told that prom.
inent court official was OIL the train
and beheld the sale and reported. the
same, and ON his evidence the indict-
ment was made. The Indictment Raises
o question, we learn, not before decid
ed in w. Va, that is whether liquors
Gao be dispensed unless a special H.
csnse from each county is procured.
The company does not have such H.
cense IN Fayette, we are told. But
IL decided against the q. & O.,
will cause many a deep and
unq uenchable thirst along that
line through the mountain State. We
learn there is a bill before the w. Va.
Legislature making 1t criminal of.
tense to drink whiskey on railway
train.

is THE PRESIDENT WANING ?

Since the GridirOn dinner, when the
President and Senator Foraker clash
ed, aud when the sparks flew. some
persons have essayed the information
that the President Is waning in popu
larity. This may be, but there is moth
ing yet to show change toward him.
Maybe it is too soon, maybe after the
public rises up to see how be came out
with Senator Foraker, and judge of
the righteousness OF that spat for or
against him, he may lose popularity,
but the opportunity has not yet pre-
sented itself. He lost no strength with
his Democratic foes by that escapade,
indeed he has lost no strength where
votes would avail him anything. on
account of the Brownsville affair. In
that he Is 80 pre-eminently right, and
Foraker 30 pre- eminentlY out for votes,
and so pre-eminently shown to be a
demagogue, that with the masses the
President has grown stronger since
than before. The Washington Post
editorialIy on this subject says:
The talk of waning popularity
and Tyranny, as applied to Presi
dent Roosevelt, Is pure rubbish. He
stands supreme among Americans as q
Champion of popular rights. The only
tyranny manifest In this country was
that OF the corporate Influences. which
are making the discovery that they
have found their master.

JUSTICE 70 DR.. FOSTER"

The Richmond Times-Dispatoh of
Feb. l, which seems to have clear
IDEA of justice has the following to say
under the above head line:
1T is hardly fair to DR.. l.. S. Foster
to say rat ne has defied the lawful
authorities. He has made brave fight
for his rig bts and his reputation, but
II so duii4S rs hiss merely employed
the iswsu. ncans which the courts Off
ered To every man. II 9 Deld lis xrnnDd
under a writ Of iDJ unctioD. aud be Was
clearly within his rights until the In
junction was overruIed.
The Times Dispatch has held from
the start that DR.. Foster did not get q
quare deal. When the board frst dis
missed him, we expressed the opinion
that he had done nothing worthy Of
dismissal, and that he should at least
have been allowed to serve out his
term. Nothing since has developed to
alter that conviction. There WAS no
suff1ci reason to turn him out of
office, so far as the printed evidence
shows"
DR.. Foster has been deprived Of a
lawful office-he has been injured In
reputation as a man and an officer, he
stands as one fighting for life and
property, and to say that be has not
the right to 20 before courts of justice
and test the legality of the proceed
ings by which-what is as dear to him
as life itself-has been taken away,
would be to deny to DR.. Foster rights
which are accorded to the commonest
horse thief or murderer In the land.

the VALUE OF TIMBER,

The value of timber lands was
brought out some time ago when the
Cosmopolitan Magazine published an
article ON Frederick Wyerhauser whom
1t said was richer than Rockefeller by
reason of the timber lands he owned.
More recently the Mississippi Valley
Lumberman has denied the great
wealth of Mr.. Wyerhauser, bnt says:
"Mr. Wyerhauser has always Been a
believer IN the value Of standing tim
Der. It has been credited to him that
he once said that the only tim Der he
ever lost money on was that he did not
buy"
This is the experience of most men
who have handled tim Der, and all who
have owned any will agree that they
have similar feelings to Mr.. Wyerhau-
ser and also that they lost money every
time they sold, because bad they held
q little longer they would have gotten
more money.

OVER IN W. VA.

The w. Va. Legislature is now in
full blast. 1t is a body with highly
moral views judging from a consider
able class OF the legislation now being
considered. Prohibition IL cutting q
wide swath. The sale of liquors. Gig.
arettes. dope of all character, the
dr!uklng on railway trains. giving of
liquor to friends, and many other blue
laws on intemperance ar. before the
body. aud if passed ought to make the
whole State seem like q church. The
fines are heavy and the second offense
sends the party breaking the laws
bounding 10 the psnitenIiary Kansas
was never more drastic in measures
of this character, and the result of it
all is that saloons are as wide open In
Kansas as in New York city. There
is vast difference between passing
prohibition laws and enforcing them.
In every State where they are in force
there seems to be loss of integrity In
the people and the officers, and an IN
crease in the whiskey traffic.
The State has, however, MANY good
measures before it's legislature. It is
trying to pass cent rate bill. 1t
also seems to be trying to paes an act
creating Railway Commission. No
State needs one more, for Injustice 10
prscticed on shippers thsre in way
that curls the hair. 1t looks as If the
railways by their treatment Of the pub
lie ont in that State were deterri ed
W IoIce the Leg isiaLure Lo give the
State a Commission. Maybe they ex-
pect to name the men, but maybe they
will not. Mr.. Elkins and ex-senator
Davis have both been before the COM
mittee begging for mercy. Possibly
they will get it, but some think they
will get Tin the neck. They will
hear something fail before the end of
the session il all signs do not fail.
