SAM MATHEWS,
Commissioners of Banking.

Sam Mathews is commissioner OF
banking for West Virginia. He is
also chairman of the machine state
committee. S. p. Smith is assist
ant commissioner of banking. He
is also Republican nominee for sher-
if of Kanawha county. Mathews
draws $4,000 a year and expenses,
from the state. Smith draws $1,000
and expenses from the state.
Mathews has been busy for the last
six months running Swisher's cam
paign and now running the general
Republican campaign. Smith has
been busy the last six months run
ming for sheriff of Kanawha county
The commits sioner's Office has been
running itself.
The law says each bank operating
in the state under the state charter
and each building and loan associa-
ton shall be examined at least once
in each twelve months, and provides
that they must pay the commissioner
certain fees, which he must turn into
the state treasury. During the year
ending September 30, 1907, Mathews
turned into the state treasury fees
amounting to $3,505, but during the
year ending September 80, 1908, he
turned into the treasury only S2,995.
If he had examined all the institu-
tions which the law makes it his
duty to examine, and collected all
the fees the law makes it his duty
to collect, and turned them into the
treasury, the amount thus turned in
would have been $4,160, instead OF
$2,995.
The question is, therefore, did Sam
Mathews, commissioner of banking,
fail to do the work required of him
by law, or did he do the work and
fail to turn over the money?
The question should be answered
at once.

STEPHEN 3. ELKINS, BOSS.

Two Republicans were talking the
other day about the candidacy of
Glasscock. Said one of them:
"Glasscock is not the personal
choice of Elkins. / have heard a
man who knows say that he told his
friends he wanted somebody else"
"Of course he said he wanted some
body else" said the other. ut is
one of the most striking of the Elkns
schemes to be able to say he wants
one man and at the same time have
his henchmen know he wants anoth-
err. The man who would attempt to
represent Elkins on the basis of truth
would find himself thrown into the
discard the first deal"
Swisher was the candidate of the
bosses. Glasscock is the candidate
of the boss of the bosses. For when
YOU come right down to brass tacks
there is but one real boss in West
Virginia, and his name is Elkins.

he hands of a political machine.

the hands Of political machine.
The Democratic party insisted that
these laws had been lily considered,
spawn OF legislative usurpation-and
were the creature and offspring Of a
party exigency, made necessary by
the turbulent dissensions within the
Republican party, and passed as
compromise makeshift to save that
party from disemberment The
changes made in the new laws at
every session of the legislature since
their adoption in the summer Of 1904
have fully indicated the Democrats
in their position, and have proved
that the apprehensions then express
ed were we'll founded, and the criti-
cisms then made were just and well
directed. The laws are unjust be-
cause they fail grossly to distribute
the burdens of taxation with fairness
and uniformity on all interests. They
are dangerous because OF the great
latitude allowed the Machine in their
administration.
Their whitening influence has fal-
len upon the undeveloped mineral re
sources of the safe, injuriously affect
ing the opening up of new coal fields
and causing the prices of coal lands
to fall from twenty-five to fifty per
centum. The continuous tampering
with the laws, rendering them uncer-
tain and unstable, has alarmed out
side capital with fear, and 1t is no
longer eager to invest in the miner
al and other wealth that kind Prov
idence has bountifully placed within
our borders.

nJlM GROWING" THEM.

The Republican state headquarters
at Clarksburg have "Jim Crow" de-
partment where colored voters are re-
ceived.
When Congressman Sturgis spoke
at Charles Town the negro voters
were told to stand back and let the
white people have the seats. Were
Jim Crowed" in other words.
When Glasscock spoke in HUNTING
ton the colored marchers paraded
one street, while the whites marched
along another, and in the hall where
the speaking took place Jim Crow
divisions were observed-whites on
one side, colored on the other
Congressman Hughes was charged
with employing a colored private sec
rotary. and FASTENED to declare that
he had Jim Crowed" the race and
had only employed whites in that ca
pacity.
But not one of the gang will de-
clare himself either for or against the
Jim Grow" car law.

development"
In the eyes of the Intelligencer 1t
was all wrong for the negro voters
to be used as a club to beat tle fac
ton of the Republican party to which
1t professed to belong, but it is now
all right for ii to be used as club to
beat the decent white people of the

What a fragrant fraud the Intelli-
gencer is, to be sure. And how IL
was curried by the stalwart Republi-
can papers that had the courage OF
their convictions.
Dominated by a political renegade
with the feeble assistance of moral
idiot, the Intelligencer has tumblea
from the high estate 1t once occupied
to a position in the very gutter OF
public esteem.

their various and sundry underlings

These gentlemen were understood
for months to be at the head of the
Scherr campaign in Cabell county.
They were likewise potential with

Cabell county to Mr.. Scherr, with the

the Cabell convention was it discov-

was being worked, and for the pur'
pose of securing the nomination of a
candidate for the state senate who
would support Isaac Mann against
Scott for United States senator.
However, according to press re
ports, all of their plans have come to
naught, as plans based upon perfldy
usually do. Lincoln and Putnam

but instead erected in the corner a

JERE A. MILLER

Jere A. Miller, the candidate for
State Treasurer on the Democratic
State ticket, was born So years ago,
near Martinsburg, in the valley OF
Virginia. He was educated in that
town. In 1862 Mr.. Miller removed
to Wheeling, w. Va. He has been
in the mercantile business from the
beginning of his career until about
fifteen years ago, when he engaged
in the banking business. He is in
terested in several industrial and fl
nancial enterprises of Wheeling and
has been unusually successful in his
undertakings.
Mr.. Miller served as Mayor of
Wheeling during 1SS3-1SS4, and was
aid-de-camp with rank of Colonel on
the staff of Governor jacob b. jack
son. He has served thirty years
consecutively as a member OF the
Board of Education OF Wheeling.
Was appointed Regent of the Re
form School at Pruntytown by Gov
ernor MacCorkle, and served as Pres
ident of the Board of Directors OF the
West Virginia Penitentiary during the
administration of Governor A. b.
Fleming. He is connected with the
several branches of Masonry and OF
the |. o. o. F.
A few days before the assembling
of the convention which nominated
Mr.. Miller, the Wheeling News had
the following to say of him:
"Ohio county will present the name
of a candidate to the Democratic
state convention to be held at
Charleston Thursday. The candi'
dacy is one that should, and doubt
less will, receive the hearty, unani'
nous and efficient support of the dele
cation. and that should commend
itself to the convention as a whole
1--WE refer to the candidacy of Mr.
]. A. Miller for State Treasurer The
News knows of few men in either
party who are better qualified to
serve in this capacity than Mr.
Miller. He Is man with much eX
perience, not only in private financial
| matters, but in handling the finances
of the public. He has had consider
able experience in public office and
behind him he has left an admirable
record for honesty and efficiency.
"The office of State Treasurer is
not one to be sneered at or to be
filed by a man with little or no ex
perience, put on the ticket merely to
satisfy some county or because of his
ability to control a certain faction
There are certain qualities which
should be possessed by a State Treas
urer the same as any other official oil
the state, and the place should by
no means be sighted. That Mr.
Miller will permit his name to be used
is a tribute to his conscientiousness
and his readiness to serve the people
if called, for a campaign and even
public Office can not have a great
deal of attractiveness for Mr.. Miller
at his time of life and after his sue
| cess in other directions.
"Mr. Miller has been success as
business man because he has the
qualities which make a successful
business man. He will run the office
of State Treasurer in business-like
way: and that is what we want in
the state administration, little more
, business, and little less politics"

a uniform contribution of $4,000 from

Dear Sir:
AS you know the political pot is
now boiling, and all candidates are
busy trying to save their own lives;
Mr.. woodward has begun his cam
paign and will actively push 1t to the
end. You realize that he is obliged
TO make a campaign for the nomln-
alton, as well as the election, two
very expensive campaigns, every TWO
years, and we, his committee, thlnk
that it is decidedly unfair that he
should be obliged to stand almost the
entire force of this expense, we there
fore ask you, as a Republican and
one whom we feel would desire that
Mr.. woodward should retain his seat
in Congress, to contribute toward the
necessary expenses of this campaign:
Would say that we consider this all
the more necessary for the reason OF
our probable inability to get heip
from the State Committee this year
We have therefore decided, Judging
from your ability and your standing
in the Republican party to ask you
to contribute not less than )"

RECEPTION At new HOSPITAL
MEDICAL VISITORS PRONOUNCE
BUILDING A SUCCESS.
DR.. p. G. Smith, Superintendent
Shows Off the Equipment
and Construction.

| Several hundred officials, physicians.
and private citizens visited the Municipal
tuberculosis Hospital. 14th and Varnum
streets northwest. yesterday afternoon
| to attend a public reception conducted
| by the attaches of the hospital and to
! inspect the institution.
DR.. Percy G. Smith, superintendent Of
the new hospital. headed the reception
| committee and personally showed the Wis
itors about the big building.
The hospital was voted a distinct sue
cess by those who inspected 1t. 1t is re-
garded as the most modern and best
| equipped Of its kind In the country. What
has been accomplished with the limited
! appropriation allotted for the construc-
| ton and equipment of the building is re-
garded marvellous.
The hospital is situated on high eIeva
ton and is surrounded by large shade
trees. The grounds about the building
comprise more than thirty acres.
Prominent Visitors.
Prominent among those who visited the
hospital yesterday were Commissioner
Macfarland, DR.. George NJ. kober of the
District board of charities, which has
supervision over this hospital as well as
all other municipal hospitals; Drs. Thorn
as Grasty, F. E. Harrington, Joseph M.

A White. Lewis ]. Battle, E. H. Beh-
rend, R. S. Blackburn, j. W. Bovee, T.
A. Clayton, G. Wyeth Cooke, H. l.. Deaae,
Johnson Elliott.
After making thorough inspection of
the hospital, Commissioner Mcfarland
said: Naturally I was gratified by the
favorable and in many cases enthusiastic
comments of the experts in hospital con-
struction. The building is typical ex-
ample Of District government construc-
ton. showing what can be done with an
insufficient appropriation.
1.-The 100000 Appropriated compelled
cutting of plans and specifications to the
bone. yet we have fireproof. commo-
dious, light, airy building. severely sim
pie. but thoroughly equipped and in ex
cellent taste. The colors are pleasing to
the eye and the outlook is beautiful.
Record Is Made.
1.-THE hospital will accommodate 100
patients, which means that it has cost
about $500 bed. This Is less than the
usual minimum cost, which is $1,000
bed.
''Dr. Kober's idea of putting the open
wards the upper story instead of
grouping them around the base of the
building is entirely new, and will be cop
led elsewhere. Altogether it is a model
for the country.
Now we must all work together to get

we bought for that purpose seven years
