the verdict of the jury makes him IT.
responsible at that particular moment
The character OF the victim,we presume,
was the chief consideration.
Undoubtedly White was no better
than Thaw and scores of other men of
that class. Undoubtedly he deserved
his fate. but no misdeeds of which he
may have been guilty justified Thaw

son, In the courts a spade should

our criminal procedure has recently
been criticised by an English critic as
follows:
Just as Americans have r-elabor-
ated the machinery of politics until
democracy Is bound and helpless in it's
tolls so they have magnihed the tech
nicalities of the law until justice Is
thrown into the background and lost
sight Of In a criminal case In the
United states it is the judge on the
bench. and not the prisoner in his dock
who Is really on trial. The counsel
on both sides polish up thousand
little points of pleading and practice
and evidence and fire them off at the
judge, who has to decide upon them
off-hand. If he falls into a single err
ror. no matter how trivial or how far
removed from the question OF the guilt
or innocence of the accused, the APP
pellate court will order n new trial OF
the case almost automatically"
The writer maintains that any Amer
lean criminal who Is able to hire "a
competent attorney stands n much bet
ter chance OF acqulttal than OF con-
viction, and this regardless of his guilt.
Cases like the Thaw trial and others
of recent date, give rise to such crit
icism.

RAILROAD HORRORS.

What Is the real trouble at Layton,
where so many victims of railroad ac-
cidents have been slaughtered WITHIN
the past few months? VIII the straight
ening out of the line at that point make
n safer, or are the horrors that have
occurred there due to causes for when
there seem to be no remedy?
Railroad accidents are too frequent
in this country There is record of
5000 deaths and 1926 injured for the
last year This indicates a condition
that calls for the attention of the man
ayers of the great lines of transpsrta-
ton. Railroad travel should be made
as safe In this country as in any other
country in the world
Not long ago a writer in the Atlantic
Monthly pointed out that in nearly
every case Of fatal railroad accidents,
some employe OF the road is to blame
He contends, in his article that II the
rules OF the road were strictly obeyed.
there would be few accidents. But
somehow, many railroad men, though
responsible for the lives and property
placed under their care, take chances,
instead of obeying the rules He gives
some illustrations OF this negligence.
and adds that many train conductors
believe they have a right to exercise
their own judgment regardless of the
rules. They are too independent to
bow TO authority and so they take
chances, and, sooner or later, tind
themselves In wreck that obedience
might have prevented.
This Is probably true. If 80, the rem

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The special message OF the President
recently sent to Congress is one that
should be read carefully. 1t is full of
significance. 1t deals with the reln-
tions that should exist between capital
and labor and kindred subjects, and
defines clearly the position OF the gov
eminent.
He arraigns, for Instance the great
corporations that are Indifferent to the
rights of the public lie warns against
the grosser forms Of 8 milling in secun-
ties There u.s." he says. no moral
difference between gambling at cards
or In lotteries or on the racetrack and
gambling In the stock market. one
method is Just as pernicious to the body
polite as the other in kind and in de-
gree the evil worked is far greater. but
It IS far more difficult subject with
which to deal"
OF special importance Is the deninl of
the President of the charge that the
government caused the panic. He says
Il do not for moment believe that
the actions of this administration nave
brought on business dist ess. so far as
this IS due 10 local anu not WOIlu-Nlut
causes and to the action of particular
individuals. 1t is due to the speculative
folly and nagrant dishonesty of few
men of great wealth. who seek TO shield
themselves from the effects Of their
own wrong doing by ascribing Its re-
suits to the action of those who nave
sought TO put stop to the wrong 10
ing"
Among other important topics treated
on is the responsibility Of employers
to employees. The President recon-
mends the enactment upon terms which
viii meet the objections of the supreme
court, of a law which viii provide for
the compensation of employees injured
while in the government service and
also law which will ultimately make
the same principles applicable to all pri-
waite employers. He also calls attention
to the Importance of guarding against
the abuse Of the writ of injunction In
labor cases. He says;
"I cannot too urgently recommend
that Congress give consideration TO the
subject. II some way OF regulating the
abuses is not found, the feeling of In
dignation among large num-
beers OF our citizens will tend 20 grow
extreme as 70 plNNhNS 81 iN'~'
against the whole use of the process OF
injunction"
The President. who is in a position
TO know, is firmly convinced that there
is now need of the patriotism that was
shown by the American people in the
eravest crisis of its history. But he
is also convinced that the day will come
when greed and trickery and cunning
shall be tramplcd under foot by those
who fight for the righteousness that
exalteth a nation" This is the burden
of the special message OF President
Roosevelt to the American people.

a Real Democrat.

The name OF Hon. Louis Bennett,
OF Weston, Lewis county, is being
very favorablY considered as an
ideal candidate for governor. In the
selection of a Democratic candidate
for governor two essential elements
might well be considered. First, a
Democrat of the rank and file whose
character, ability, and experience
wonld be such as brings him in
touch with the masses of the people
OF the state and its varied interest
and industries. Second, vote getter,
who is not allied with any faction
or would be leaders, but a man of
the whole people of the state. With
a candidate 20 head our state ticket
who possesses these elements of
character and strength, we can win
out in West Virginia this fall. In
our selection of a candidate we
should not be controlled by personal
choice. 1t is claimed by those who
are acquainted with Mr.. Bennett
that he possesses The requisites of a
winning candidate; certainly, he de-
serves and shall have our candid
consideration. We have learned
from several sources, which we deem
reliable, that Mr.. Benefits Democ
racy, character, and ability places
him pre-eminently the peer of any
man in the state, and as was said by
Republican the other day, who
was for many years neighbor to
Mr.. Bennett, "He is man who al.
ways attends to his own business.
and that he does well. Aud his
character, in every sense, is as clear
as the mondays sun. His wife is
ole of the nobleSt women IN the
state and noted for her gifts of
charity" RIPLEY Mountaineer.
