cornwall on Robbery.

Attempts OF the Democratic speak
ers on the stump in this state to pre-
sent arguments on the tax reform
laws that may appear to their adj
vantage, are ludicrous in the extreme.
John j. Cornwell made an address at
Fairmont the other night and the
same evening the Republican news
paper propounded a question for him
to answer when he delivered his adj
dress. With characteristic Demo-
cratic evasion Mr.. Cornwell answered
the question and said. in effect-'I

The Fairmont West Virginian ask
ed Mr.. Cornwell whether the public
service corporations In the state are
assessed too high under the Repub-

OF fact and public record, the proper
~ OF the public service corporations
of the state, before the new tax re-
form laws went into effect, were
assessed at $515,547.22, while under
the new laws the same public SER
vice corporations property is assessed
at $1,536,355.22, an increase of ST.

that he Is 1.-The natural heir of

cies that have mace Roosevelt the

braska claimant, have been advo-
Gated by me for years.
Let US inquire as, to Mr.. Bryan's
right to inherit. President Roose-
Welt is uncompromisingl in favor OF
a monetary system based on the gold
standard. Mr.. Bryan has never re-
nounced the principle of the free and
unlimited coinage ofTsilver.
President Roosevelt is pledged to G
tariff system embodying the princt-
pie Of protection for American indus
tries. Mr.. Bryan in his latest utter
ance demands a tariff FLOR revenue
only" which means free trade.
President Roosevelt believes that
corporations engaged in interstate
traffic should be regulated by Fed
eral authority. Mr.. Bryan insists
that they shall be destroyed.
President Roosevelt declares for
an army ana a navy great enough to
safeguard American interests in every
part OF the world. Mr.. Bryan asserts
that the army and navy are already
costing too much.
President Roosevelt stands for the
principle that the United States has q
right to exert its influence wherever
American institutions shall be recog-
nIzed as most helpful to mankind.
Mr.. Bryan holds that any extension
Of the United States is an act OF
tyranny.
President Roosevelt Is an optimist,
seeing In the enlargIng influence and
power Of the republic greater guar
antees Of its peace and integrity.

In the matter OF the injunctions he
issued he was absolutely right, and
the principles he laid down in those
injunctions have since then been &C
cepted by every worthy leader OF
labor, and they are embodied in the
principles and practices OF all the
railroad brotherhoods at the present
day. The abuses of fniunctions have
been fearlessly exposed and attacked
by Mr.. Taft. He recognizes, as in
my Judgment all fair-minded men
must recognize, that again and again
in the past this process has been
used to the detrlment of wagework-
ers by certain judges. He is doing
and will continue to do everything
that can be done to do away with
these abuses. He will not make
vague promises impossible of fulfill
ment. He will actually and in good
faith try to secure action. Priest

Ahn,it TI,eir Error. !.

And now the Fatrmont Times de-
clares that it would not repeal the
Republican tax reform laws. The
Times has frequently said that there
were some excellent provisions in the
tax laws, that paper says. There
are one or two features of the new
laws that need adjustment, the Times
believes, but there is no need for q
repeal OF the new system and the gen-
eral method OF its working.
Not long ago the Democratic
newspapers were unanimous In de-
claring that the Republican tax re-
form laws were iniquitous measures,
designed to ensnare the people and
make their tax burdens heavier and
that they ought to be repealed as
speedily as possible. But. the new
tax laws are working satisfactorily
now ana the Democrats see that t5e
people are pleased with them. What
can the Democrats do but admit that
the new laws are what they were
claimed to be? The only stock In
trade they have left is that the tax
laws need readjustment and that the
Democrats ought to do the readJust-
ing. AS the Democrats proved to be
the Glitter opponents" as they many
times styled themselves, OF the new
tax laws. reason ana common sense
win readily show that they ought
not to be entrusted with the respon-
sibiIlty of doing any sre-adjusting.
If occasions do arise where slight
changes in these salutary laws beS
come necessary, these slight changes
should be made by the friends of the
new laws and not their 'fbltter OPP
ponents.'
The Republicans fought for tax re-
form, the Republicans made tax re-
form a reality, and the Repu bltcans
do not intend to let the hard work
and untiring efforts of years be swept
away by the Jealous and vengeful OPP
ponents OF the measure. The peo-
pie are the benefciartes and the peo-
pie certainly do not want to give up
those benefits the new tax laws made
possible for them.

Tn1n TetrLcll Ont.

Harrison county Democracy has
reached a-desperatio that makes It
hfgh-handad-a desperation that
causes it to stop at nothing, In its
last efforts to thwart the VIII of the
people.
Forgetful of the fact that this is a
government OF the people, by the peo-
pie and for the people, it assumes
that It owns and controls the county
because one or two OF its members
happen to be office holders, and at
least one OF these never elected by
the people to public Office.
The attitude of Democracy was
clearly shown Monday, when the
county court in special session, sit
ting to register voters, witnessed per-
formances on the part of the clerk
that its. own members became i'm
patient with at the time. 1t
looked as IT, even some of the mem
bers to get along at all with the days
work had to convince him of the
could register them. In other words,
he wanted to be the court himself and
essayed throughout the day to be it.
Republican voters repeatedly d.
rected his attention to the fact that
he was not a member OF the court,
but he saw how the cat was hopping
and did not desist in his plan OF
blockade and interference and
meddling.
Owing to his actions, which were
dilatory, several Republicans who
were present informed the Telegram
that 1t took a Democrat thirty sec
onds to register and Republican was
kept half an hour fighting for his
American rights. Two we'll known
men OF foreign nationality were not
allowed to register, as Mr.. Tetrick
could not be convinced, for three
hours and until they had brought In
the records of the federal court as
well as the clerk himself, and then
Mr.. Tetrick appeared unwilling for
these men to register. One OF them
had been In business here for years
running a mercantile store and so
far as known Is an honorable, up
right citizen.

and then, when he filled out the
books the same questions were asked
over again. He took it evidently
that Republicans are not honest.

OF the Republican voters and it will
not be forgotten on election day.
So high-handed was he in the
methods just recited that the sensa-
tIonal incident of one voter jerking
Mr.. TetrIck's picture out of his
pocket and throwing it in Mr.. Tet-
rick's face took place. The Telegram
mentions this incident that its read
ers may form real conception of
the methods employed by him.
