GONE AsrRAY AGAIN.

The once reliable Baltimore Sun
has gone astray again. 1t is old
and posy enough to know better, but
having on several former occasions
tasted the delights Of waJwardness,
it is no longer satisfied to remain In
the straight and Improbable paths OF
virtue. We are moved to make these
remarks because the Sun, after sitting
on the fence for month or two, has
finally fallen over on the Taft side.
We are not sure, but we are rather OF
the opinion that Mr.. Bryan must have
failed to note the S8isher waiting at
titude, and so his indifference cost
him Its support.
The Sun, of course. solemnly asserts
that it supports the Republican ticket
from a sense Of public duty. We
suspect that it is from the same sense
of public duty that has impelled it to
become the organ Of the whiskey In
terests and which incidentally-but
most pro6tably fills Its columns with
gaudy advertisements of whiskey and
beer and mixed drinks in general.
The Suns high sense of public duty is
invariably 10 exact accord with the
cashiers Office.
Time was when the Suns opposition
to the Democracy caused dismay in
Maryland and in the Virginias. But
It's not 80 now. It's influence has
long since been discounted. We
would not cause its self.satis6ed man
agement unnecessary pain, but folks
up this way laugh at its ponderous
editorials and ridicule its pretensions
to be big newspaper. 1t is true
that it is still read extensively, but
this is because it is cheap-the Sun is
very cheap paper-and because the
people have the habit of reading it.
But they laugh at it when you say
they are influenced by it.
The saddest day Of all the year.
of many years will be the position of
the Sun when it wakes up from its
present sleep and finds Mr.. Bryan
has been elected President without its
help and that he neither knows nor
cares what it says and does.

The announcement of the Baltimore
Sun, that it would support the Re.
publican candidate for the presidency,
has created much indignation among
Democrats in this community. A
letter to the "Sun" from one of our
townsmen which we publish today, re-
fleets the universal feeling of those
who have been lifelong readers of
that paper
SHEPHERDsTowN, W. VA, AUG. l3.
EDITOR BALTIMORE SUN,
Gentlemen-Your edi-
torial defining your position in favor OF
Mr.. Taft, has come as great sur
prise TO this community. For years,
democrats here have looked to you as
to one of the best opponents OF democ-
racy.
To all of us your utterance Of this
morning has come as shock and the
reasons given for your position seem
utterly puerile. This alliance of your
paper, denying the principles of your
party with Mr.. Taft, denying the d.
vinity of Jesus Christ, can cause no
great harm. Of one, ST. Paul says,
"Let him be anathema maranatha"
from the other, every democrat must
turn with sorrow and disgrace.

A GREAT many people will agree on
one thing, and that is that change
is needed in West Virginia. The
greedy scramble for Office, the meth.
DDS of the professional feeders at the
public crib, the reckless manner in
which officials use their places to pro.
mote their private interests-all these
things call loudly for reform. Louis
Bennett ought to be elected Governor.

WITH characteristic assurance,
Swisher declares that he doesn't care
whether Scherr stays on the track or
gets off, for he declares that he will
win by the least $4,000 majority any
how. We admit that, between buy
ing and stealing Swisher can get a
big vote-taking for granted that only
half of what the Scherr people say
about him is true-but on the other
hand there is very large and infu-
entail portion of his own party that
can neither be bribed or cajoled or
fooled. These added to the Demo-
Gratis and independents, are mighty
apt to make majority in November.

President Roosevelt is seeking to
organize league for the improve
ment of the farmers. This is very
commendabls, but we are fearful that
it is intended as a campaign club
for Mr.. Tsft--a vote getter for the
Republican candidate rather than an
agricultural uplifter. One of the
best ways to help a farmer would
be to protect him from the ra'
pacity Of the trusts and monopolies,
but it is hopeless to expect this under
an administration which owes its very
existence to these corporations.

A STRAW that shows the way the
wind blows from the corporations is
noticed in the West. When Mr.. Taft
made his speech Of acceptance in Gin
cinnati, the railroads ran special trains
and gave reduced rates. When the
Bryan people asked for the same priv
ileges in Nebraska the railroads cold
lY refused to give them.
Is it any wonder that so many per-
sons are indignant at the railroads ?
