meeting of county road commission
srs was held at Burlington, August 20.
The meeting was held tor the purpose of
general discussion of the work done
5pnng the past summer. With the
exception Of three all were present at the
meeting one Of the important ques-
tons taken up for discussion was the eX-
tension of the time limit for road con-
Nructon. The law at present says that
work mist be completed by September l ,
and as IuIy and August are busy months
for the farmer it is considered advisable
to present a bill to the next legislature
asking that the time for construction OF
highways be heightened.
Mr. Gates, state highway commission
er. stated that he was much pleased
with the result Of the work this year and
that while some trouble had been ex-
perenced IN various places, on the whole
the work has been most successful.
Nearly every town has completed its full
quota 10, work and will receive its five
per cent. of the $4,000 appropriation.
The meeting was called in order that
Mr. Gates mlghtget a general idea of the
work done this year to assist him Ill

M p. j. crogan, of Kingwood, one
OF the ablest Democratic lawyers in
the state. has acted as the attorney
of the same concern which Mr..
Glasscnck represents.
Mr., Geo. p. Price, OF Charleston,
one of the most prominent attorneys
IN the state. and a Democrat, has
also acted for Senator ElI1ins in mat
tiers in which he Is Interested in and
about charleston, and Is now coun-
sci for the Coal e Coke Railroad.
Van Wrinkle & Amber of Parkers-
burg, have also represented Senator
Elkins in the courts, and there
might be other Democrats named.
The Democrats will have to get
up some charge against Glasscock
other than that he is the attorney
for some interests In which Senator
Elkins is interested.
Senator Elkins is a very heavy in,
vestor in our state and largely in
terested in railroads, coal and tim
Der lands, coalN mines and making
coke. His interests lie in nearly
every part OF the state. He must be
allowed to employ attorneys to look
after his interests. This IS a right
that belongs to every citizen, AMI the
attorneys he employs should not be
enelIgible to public office. The at
torneys OF Senator Henry G.. Davis.
]. n. Camden. John T. McGraw, Gov
ernor MacCorkle. Governor Fleming
and the Watsons have all held office
and not been dlscredited.
Among the attorneys employed by
companies In which Senator Elktns
Is interested and according to the
Democrats ineligible to hold Office
may be named the following:
e. A. Bowers, Elkins.
William E. Baker, Elltins.
Van Wrinkle & Amber. Parkers-
burg.
Frank p. Meats. Parkersburg.
Reese Blizzard, Parkersburg.
Senator F. o. Blue, Philippl.
Judge Ira E. Robinson, Grafton
w. s. Meredith, Fairmont.
Geo. C. Sturgiss, Morgantown.
Judge Franz; Cox, Morgantown.
Geo. Baker, Morgantown-
w. E. Glasscock, Morgantown.
w. S. Haynlond, Sutton.
Geo. z. Price, Charleston.
S. 3. Avis, Charleston.
Nell ]. Fortney, Kingwood.
P. ]. Crogan, Kkgwood.
A. Bliss McCrum, Kingwood.
N. S. Hodges. Franklin.
W. A. Bratton. Marlinton.
Here are the names of about TWEEN
ty prominent attorneys, Republicans
and Democrats. Are they to be IN
eligible to hold Office because they
are or may have bren attorneys for
Senator Elkins at some time?
Democrats are surely hard up for
something to say against Glasscock,
the future governor 81 the state. He
is pure. able, clean. upright citizen
and a Christian gentleman. WIN
any Democrat dispute this?
The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1908-10-21

So T..
The Democratic platform declares
for immediate reduction OF import
duties on the revenue tariR theory.
There mnst be reduction, that Is the
main thing, no matter how It may
AFFECT wages or the Interests OF labor.
It Is the old Democratic applIca-
ton of abstract theofy of govern
ment and smacks of high school Wis
ions and eloistered philosophy. It
means an abrupt change IN govern
ment revenue and Earring confusion
to industrial affairs.
On the other hand, Judge Taft and
his party are pledged to tariR re-
vision that VIII not disturb. It's
character will be known long IN ad-
vance. Instead of creating business
confusion 1t will craze business CON
fidence No existing employment
Will be imperfled, additional oppor-
tunities for American labor will be-
provided by new industries
In the Republican tariff readjust-
ment wages of the woFkingman will
be kept cons family I'M view and the
standard secured. Where duties are
high they will be reduced. Where
they have failed to maintain wages
they will be Increased. Where im-i
provement in methods or other means
have cheapened the cost OF produc-l
tion import duties will be decreased.
The controlling idea will be to cheap
en- production to the consumer while
maintaining the American standard
of wages and living of the working
classes.
Industrially and financially the
country Is in an unsettled state. Evil
dences, however, are on all hands
that normal conditions are retmn-l
ing. Further disturbing Influences
would arrest returning prosperity. !
Recent assurances that pointed to the
election of Mr. Taft were accom- |
panied with a coinc!dent befterment !
- ''--'-e-- conditions. And this
points the way.

The Oklahoma Constitution.

The Oklahoma constitution has
been the subject OF much fulsome
praise, the Dem ocratIc platform styl-
ing 1t the brightest Jewel in the dIa-
dem of states or words to that eff
feet, while President Roosevelt's
criticism OF it occasIoned more adj
verse criticism of himself than any
other one act of his administration.
says the Wheeling Daily News.
There are people In Wheeling.
however, who know more about that
constitution than can be learned from
merely reading it. They have had
practical experience with 1t. For in
stance, when steps were taken to pro-
secute Frank Manning. the butcher
who murdered T. T. Weitzel, the for
mer Wheeling linotype operator. in
Oklahoma City, 1t was discovered that
the constitution requires that a per-
son accused of a felony. must be given
five days prior to the hearing the
names of all witnesses the state pur-
poses using against him. In the five
days interim II the state discovers
new evidence. no matter how vital, 1t
cannot he used. 1t will be soon at a
glance what an excellent opportunity
Is thus Afforded an accused criminal
to spirit away or !ntimIdate the
states witnesses: and 1t IS equally
easy to picture in the mind tho man
ner OF men influential enough to in
corporate such a remarkable provis-
ion in a state constitution.
Protected by this beneflcent law,
the murderer OF Thomas Weitzel is
walking the streets of Oklahoma, a.
free man under light bail and the
local authorities calmly admit that
the chances are 100 to / against con-
vict!ng man OF a felony In their
state.
1t was against this provision par
ticularly that the President protest.
ed. and all honest men will agree
with him that he was right in max
ing the protest.
