ON THE THAW
TESTIMONY
THE PRESIDENTS DISGUST AND
THE FEELING WHICH
INSPIRES 1T

one OF the duties Of the President
Of the United States is to take
care that the laws DO faithfully ex-
ecuted.' Mr.. Roosevelt therefore. is
we'll within his constitutional rIpbts
In raising the issue of whether YER
batim reports of tho Thaw trial
ought to be excluded from the Unit
ed States mails
The President calls the full par
ticulars OF the trial Disgusting. -
He might have gone further and
said that the testimony OF Evelyn
Thaw was one of the most shock
ing and revolving stories ever told
on witness stand. But wherein
may We ask, could the ends OF JUS
tice or the ends OF public morality
have been served by suppressiDg this
terrible revelation OF organized and
systematized debauchery and ruin?
1t is easy enough 70 rail at the
newspapers for printing stenographic
reports OF the case, but what ought
they to do? CARRIE the testimony?
Suppress the evidence upon which
Thaw's life depends? Or print.
without color and without elabora-
ton, the verbatim testimony Of the
material witnesses, as English news
papers are compelled to do by law,
II they undertake to print anything
at all.
Mr.. Roosevelt has mistaken his
own emotions, We think He is dis
gusted not with the reports, but
with the fostering moral ulcer from
which they have stripped the ban
dage. His indignation is not against
the testimony but against the lives
of shame and degradation which
the testimony has revealed His
wrath contradicts his action. When
the evidence in the Thaw trial is
so revolving that It shocks the
President OF the United States we
can we'll believe that 1t is producing

LAWMAKERS
HOUSE MAKES OVER SENATE,
= CENT FARE BILL AND
PASSES IT.

Charleston, w va, Feb. 12.-
The House today, after having
amended the Senate 2 cent fare bill
until It's parent body will not
know 1t, passed that measure. The
Senate bill provided for a 2 cent pas
senger rate. but made II apply only
. roads over so miles In length.
The amendment of the House makes
it a fiat cent measure, just like
the bill originally passed by the
House and ignored by the Senate.
There is such divergence between
the two bodies that 1t is doubtful II
a cent measure will become an act.
The Senate passed bills to permit
counties to issue bonds to refund
Indebtedness, to amend the law so
hat counties will not have to pay
for maintaining insane persons sent
TO the West Virginia Asylum at
Huntington, and to provide for ex-
amining and licensing those who
desire to practice osteopathy in this
state.
After the House had cut the Sen
ate cent fare bill down to its
liking, 1t passed the bill to author
ize Monongahela county to build a
bridge over the Mongahela river, to
amend the game and fish laws. to
create the Independent school die
trict OF Logan, to amend the law

trict OF Martlnsburg, to limit the

WHAT CAN BE
THE MATTER

We fail TO understand the mean
ing of these consultations among the
tax doctors. What can be the mat
ter? We were led 10 believe that
nothing was left for the Legislature
to do but pass the appropriation
bills, the Dawson laws being amply
able to furnish the coin. Now we
are told that a consultation Is nee
essary. Something must be done by
the doctors for the patient. They
seem to think that anything will
do, and, at any rate, will help
some.
There We're times when men like
Jefferson, Thurman. Blaine, Conk-
ling. Benton, Calhoun and Webster
among the national fathers, and
Carlisle. Bennett, Stevenson, John
son and others among the state
fathers, taught us that taxation or
finance was delicate patient re
curing careful handling; wise doc
tors and expert surgeons; that sur
gerry near the heart required the
most delicate instruments.
Now it seems that tax doctors Will
grab the delicate patient and then
seize any old thing from a scalpel to
n sausage suffer, and any old nos
trum, from EPSON salts to anti
toxine; and they proceed to cut
saw. syringe, dose and stuff this del
icate patient and then wonder that
he fingers.
The fathers went over, studied
and decided all these matters OF n
nance a hundred years ago, and the
modern doctors need not think tt.
they are giving us anything.-Char-
lesion Gazette.
