The Republicans have made = big
talk about the increase in the distri-
butaole school fund since they came
into power. During MacCorkle's aa-
minjstration the money thus dibtri-
buted was 81 ,469, 800 and the general
expenses were 1894 $50, the total be-
"a, 164 ,093. Thus it will be seen that
Of all themsney collected 35.o per cent.
WAS spent for the support OF the pub
lie schoo.s. During Dawson's term
the distributable school fund amounts
to 81, 1855, 1871, and the general expenses
to S6,3ol ,110, making a total of SO, 1885,
l0l. From this it will be seen that
the sch ,ol fund was BOA per cent. of
the whole, against 1878 per cent. under
Democratic administration. The in
crease in the school fund since the Re-
publicsns came into power has been
81, 297 1855, or so per cent. over what it
was in Democratic days. The increase
in general State expense has been So,
7o6,S50 or 1877 per cent over the days
of Democratic government

The United States Commissioner OF
Fisheries, has told the President just
how it will be in November. Every
thing looks well and there are millions
of fish mot suckers) in the sea that
have not yet been caught. The situa-

point and there is no doubt that Taft
will carry the state and Glasscock will
be close second.
All signs fail in dry weather and
long range predictions are not always
accurate. However we know that the
Hon. Comn, issioner knows all abont
politics In Berkeley county and can
tell exactly how things will be.
Ifhe is as successful in bringing
about the results of the election as he
is in conducting conventions, the re-
suit is a foregone conclusion Mar
tinsbuTg World.
Yes, George knows al about the Re-
publican politics OF Berkeley county.
He is a spoke in the great wheel of the
Republican machine. Roosevelt names
Taft and dictates the republican plat
form, Elkins names Glasscock and the
rest of the state ticket and Bowers
names Lamon and the rest of the re-
publican county ticket.
A fine arrangement. 1t saves the
people the trouble of going to coRyen-
tons or worrying over politics and all
they have to do 10 to go to the polls on

Fathers who are ambitious for their
sons to succeed in politics should lose
ne time in entering them for the inter
nal revenue collectorship or for secre-
tary of state. Dawson was secretary of
State under Atkinson and White;
White was collector Of internal reve-
nue. when nominated for governor,
and still held the Office when Elkini
teld him to come down. Glasscock,
the present internal revenue collector,
was named by the Swisher state COM

secretaries of state and collectors of
of internal revenue need apply.

State Superintendent of free schools
has sent out circulars urging that a
day be set apart as mound day and
that all the children of the free schools
be requested to make some coptribu-
ton towards the purchase Of the great
mound at Moundsville There is
hardly man woman or child, so far
as we are aware, who would not like
to see the mound preserved but why
not the state buy it and take care of it?
1t is located within few steps Of the
state penitentiary and could be easily
placed under the custody Of the war
den of that institution. Why impose
this expense upon the children of the
state? The state machine has stolen
and squandered in a thousand differ
ent ways enough to buy the Alleghan-
ey mountains during the past twelve
years aud it seems ptty that they
cannot spare enough to buy the old

The claims mace by the machine re-
publican papers to the effect that the
nomipation of Glasscock to succeed
Swlsher as Elkins' personal represent
tative on the state ticket has pacified
all elements of the party, are widely
at variance with the real facts in the
situation. Those who opposed Swlsher
opposed him not SO much for what he
was Ms for what be. represented. What
ever may be the personal difference
between Swisher and Glasscock, they
both re present the same: the EIkins
machine. Elkins would not consent for
hisman Swlsher to Withdrew from the
ticket, until assured that his man
Glasscock would be substituted for
him. The same committee that stole
sufficient number of county delegations
to nominate Swisher, nomin ated
Glasscock over the protest of the Scherr
supporters. 1t is merely diffe renee
of names. Eskins is still the issue.

There is no office which the people
will be called to fill in this county at

difference what laws we may have on
our statute books if we have an unfit
man in the Office OF prosecutor. Whilst
the prosecuting attorney should not
prosecute any one through malice or
i'll will he should not refrain from
prosecuting any malefactor through
fear, favor or affection. The peace,
quiet and safety of the community
largely depends on the fidelity of the
prosecuting attorney hence the imror-
tant position who may be relied upon
to do his duty and who has the ability
to meet the duties of the office. For the
past four years we have had such a
man in that office. Mr.. NolI has done
his duty without Partially to all
classes and to all individuals. He has
not known any favorites and has
shown no favors. He has performed
tho duties Of the Office with signal
ability and with marked success. He
h az accepted no bride and h stands are
clear from graft. No man can say with
any truth that Allen Noll has ever been
a CRATER in any sense and that is the
kind of an officer the people want and
will have. He comes from one of the

he has succeeded in his chosen profess
