The rwo-cent Fare Measure.

Considering the fact that the dead
lock on the railroad two-cent fare
measure between the house and SEN
ate of our State legislature gave
probability of such beneficent legis-
lation being killed at the present
session which is drawing to a close,
the news that an agreement has been
reached in the conference commit
tee of the two houses in favor Of the
senate bill is welcome information.
AS the readers of this paper have
been informed in previous issues
there have been two bills pending
in the legislature providing for two
cent passenger fare on the railroads
of West Virginia. The house bill,
or the Hole bill as 1t is known, pro-
vided fora fiat two-cent fare on all
railroads, while the senate bill pro
vided for two-cent fare only upon
lines of fifty miles or more in length.
The Telegram belivees that the Holle
bill is the far more beneficial and

Applies Here, Too.

There is food for local reflection
in the following taken from the Fair
mont West virginian concerning the
recent action of the Democrats Of
Fairmont in nominating straight
party ticket:
For once the Democrats of Fair
mont have shown some sign of be-
ing capable of acting like the party
Of the distinguished Jefferson and
Jackson ought to act. Instead Of
hiding behind the name "Citizens"
or Business Men" they have come
out in the open and named straight
ticket of reputable men in good
standing in their own party. That
is certainly far more worthy and
commendable thing, to do than to
seek among the opposition party for
soreheads and half-breeds to put on
their tickets for council in the diff
ferent wards. BY so doing, they
have gotten a superior set of candi-
dates who have political principles
and are men enough to stand for
them. We would ten times over
rather see straight Democrat elect
ed than a disgruntled black-leg Re
publican, who, falling to make good
in his own party, seeks its downfall
because of his own shortcomings. BY
placing a straight ticket in the field,
the campaign at once leaves the
realm of petty personalities and en-
tiers larger and more dignified do
main. We have high regard for a
straight Democrat, but none at all in
political way for a Republican
renegade who will lend himself to
the opposition In order to defeat his
own party. The Democrats have
named good set of men and we now
run no risk Of having a bunch OF out
of-joints sitting around the council
table like knots on a log. While
as Republicans we cannot hope for
the electionsof any Of the Democratic
candidates, we do hope the party
will get sufficient encouragement to
continue in business and not wander
of into the realm of the malcon-
tents any more.

The railing of the Main street
bridge across Elk creek is very de-
fectiye. 1t has rusted almost down
and two months ago a wagon was
backed up against It and helped to
weaken it. The city and county re-
member man fell from the bridge
a few years ago and was killed. The
casualty was caused by the railing
giving away. There should be no
repetition of that incident, and to
prevent 1t the railing must be repair
ed or new railing installed. 1t is
hoped the proper authorities will
give their immediate attention to the
matter and that the Telegram may
not have to repeat this request.

It really it, nor win they permit any
one to hnd out.
It thus appears that there has not
been the wanton waste OF money that
some. who want to get the chance
to waste it or rather go south with
1t. have repeatedly asserted. To the
contrary clarksburg stands as one
Of the great cities Of the State with
surprisingly small indebtedness
compared to several other West vir-
ginia cities.
It is also prominent fact that
Harrison county has NO Indebtedness
Of any kind, but has all debts paid
and money in the treasury. while
Marion county, as well as many 9TH
er counties. has a large bonded in
debtedness. This certainly empha-
sizes the statement that the AFFAIRS
of the county, as well as those of the
city, have been economically adj
ministered.
As TO the bond issue proposed
there will be differences of opinion
and perhaps great many discus
stons, before there is final dispo-
sition of it. OF course. there can
scarcely be an intelligent discussion
for or against the measure until it
has been announced what the water
works improvements are to be and
just how they are to be made. Either
the council or the board of trade
will have this to do before the ques-
ton can properly be submitted to the
people, and these should all be fully
set out that the people may under
stand just what it is proposed to do.
All this must be made in an official
way and then observed afterward, IL
the measure carries at the election.

would be more effective in attaining
the object sought than the senate
bill and in this the Telegram is of
the opinion that 1t voices the senti-
ment of the people at large in this
section OF the State. The principal
objection to the senate bill lies in
the fact that the fifty mile exemption
clause would provide a loophole for
the trunk line railroads to evade the
law by splitting up It's divisions and
branches into separate corporate
ownership.
The senate bill is of course a long
step in the direction of equalizing
the passenger fares on the railroads
in this State. If the railroads do
not take advantage of the loophole
afforded them by the senate bill law
when 1t becomes effective and the
law does not come up to the expec-
tations of those who believe they are
doing right in protecting the small
railroads, it viii remain for future
legislation to correct such evil. The
senate two-cent fare law is far bet
ter than none at all.

Mining Laws yiolated.

The state officials of Upshur coun-
ty have very promptly indicted three
men, charging them with the mine
horror at the Lorentz mine, where a
dozen lives were snuffed, because of
alleged criminal violations Of the
mine laws of the state, among
which was one violation very flag
rant, that of not having the requir-
ed number of openings and no pass
ages of escape exists. Company of
ficials and mine bosses have been
indicted. The first for having a
mine without the necessary openings
and the Others for neglect of duty
as prescribed by the state laws.
The coroner's jury. which investi.
gated the disaster at Mine No. 25,
Z of<the Davis Coal & Coke Company
at Thomas, w. Va, which resulted
in % being killed rendered the fol-
lowing verdict:
1--WE the jury find from the evil
dence taken before us, that on the
4th day of February, 1907, an ex-
plosion occurred in mine No. rs of
the Davis Coal & Coke Co., located
at Thomas. w. Va. And we, the jury
from the evidence before us, find the
deceased came to their death by gas
explosion, which gas accumulated
through the ventilating machinery
not being in motion and the follow
ing persons were guilty for the
same:
Arthur Stuart, as fire boss to the
extent that, in entering the mines on
February 4th he failed to see that
the ventilating machinery was not
in motion; that he failed to make a
thorough and complete examination
of the mine and discovered the gas
which We firmly believe must at that
time (about $500 been accumulat-
ed and reported the mine as unsafe
before any miners were allowed to
enter as the disaster occurred one
hour later upon Stuart entering.
"Mr. Riggleman as mine boss to
the extent that he failed to proper
ly instruct the men under him, who
had charge of the ventilating ma
chinery and in seeing that men were
ON duty at their respective places.

the extent that it allowed incom-
petent men to occupy the responsible
positions.
In the Thomas horror, where
score of lives were lost, 1T is also
hoped the state authorities will act
with as much promptness as they did
at the Lorentz. and the courts
should give such immediate heed and
attention to the trials of the accused
as to not only satisfy the public de-
mand for their punishment but also
to speedily mete out the justice they
deserve. If they are guilty, let them
suffer and may the penalty be suf-
fciently severe as to teach them not
to violate the law again or be the
cause Of any more such horrors.
