Tho Pledge Ful6lIed.

The people OF this county tBerk-
eleyl must not lose sight OF the fact
that their taxes are about only one
half as much as they were several
years ago. and that this was brought
about by the Republican party, says
the Martinsburg Herald. Low taxes
we're promised by Republican orators
on the stump, and this as denied by
the Democratic party, but the tax
tickets tell the tale. The state ad-
ministration did every thing that was
possible to relieve the over-taxed
farmer from the heavy burden that
he was carrying by equalizing taxa
ton. The railroads are now paying
their proportionate share which has
reduced the taxes SO long borne by
the farmers and common laborers.
Is there any one whose taxes have
been reduced who wants to return to
the old system? We think not. Then
the safest way is to support the party
that kept its pledges. Once tried and
found not wanting is the reason why
you should try the same again.

claiming the fact that they had form
ed what they hoped to be i new par
", formed It for the express purpose
Of defeating the Republican party and
without hope Of winning themselves.
They enlisted such newspapers as the
Wheeling Intelligencer in the claim
that they were the Republican party.
But, after the pfetense was fully eX-
posed, come out openly and assert
that It is a new party, as evidenced
by the official signature Of E. NJ.
Grant, who signs himself as chair
man Of new party and not as chair
man Of the Republican party.
In view of this they have no stand
ing with Republicans and have no
right to expect Republican support.
Indeed, from party viewpoint it Is
mere presumption for Grant to ask
such support.
And as said in the beginning OF
this editorial, no man who believes
in the Republican party. its prlnci-
pies and its supremacy in West vir-
glnia and the nation can ally himself
with the Z. NJ. Grant party, but to
the contrary to put into execution his
beliefs, principles and desires must
look upon the new party as he would

A Party with the Enemy.

No man who believes in the prin-
ciples of the Republican party and
wishes for Republican supremacy in
West Virginia and the nation can sub
scribe to or believe in the principles
of and the party itself which was or
ganized in a court house a. Charles
ton and which nominated state
ticket with Arnold C. Scherr for gov
ernor.
The Republican state convention
was called for that city. But, before
1t was convened, some men gathered
in the court house and formed new
party. They called it the Lincoln
Republican party. Men went there
who were in no way delegated to rep
resent any party new or old. The
people of West Virginia were not re-
resented by delegates for the purpose
OF forming any such party. The Re-
publican masses OF this state were not
consulted. No conventions nor pri-
marles were heiG with any such
thing in view. The question was not
before the rank and file of the party
in any manner.
Yet, men who would not go into
the Republican state convention and
fight their cause out there assembled
in their anger and disappointment,
disregarded the trust reposed In them
and Others had no such trust given to
them but went werely to turn tile
heads OF others. and after separating
themselves from the Republican par
ty formed new party and gave it a
name. They also passed resolutions
antagonistic to the Republican party,
condemned its leaders and adopted a
platform at variance with what they
supposed would be and was the Re-
publican platform.

TRUTH wan win.

One OF the prominent Instructors at
the state university, after making an
investigation of the actual political
conditions in the state, has concluded
that he will vote for and work for the
support Of Charles Wesley Swlsher
for governor as well as the entire Re-
publican ticket. No snap Judgment
was employed he declares in arriv-
ing ut his conclusion.
Il have taken the palms," ne says,
ito investigate Mr.. Swisher's record,
his history, his demeanor as a public
official, his standing with the clergy
and business man of Charleston and
elsewhere. and what learned bls
been SO contrary to the slanterous
inuendoes OF one of the university
faculty, now taking part in the np-
position movement, that was ap-
palled that any man would so forget
decency as to insinuate such false
hoods"
The plain. solid truth is invinclble.
And the people of Wset Virginia are
beginning to find this out in the case
of Charles Wesley Swisher. Just as
soon as they get to the truth Of the
matter, they find that Charles Wesley
swisher is man, courageous and
honest and trustworthy and progress.
sire and that all of the mud that has
been thrown in his direction by set
OF political soreheads has fallen far
short of its intended mark. The peo-
pie Of the state are warming up to
Charles Wesley Swisher and they will

him as the next governor of West

AS the Wheeling Register said It
was not necessary for the Telegram
to read the Intelligencer out OF the
Republican party, as It read itself
out. When the opposition newspa-
pers openly confess their recognition
of press recruits TO their party, it is,
We acknowledge, unnecessary for Re
publican papers to point out the fact
that there are traitors, but the Tele-
gram does this in reference to the

WHAT CAN WE DO?
A correspondent writes 5:

The National Prohibihonist is constantly ex-
horting Prohibitionsts to do something for the
cause We need something more than the ex-
hortation. Many of us, like myself, lone farmers
almost the sole representative of the party in the
community, find ourselves unable to do anything
worthy of consideration. Cannot The National
Proht6ltioniSt give suggestions and working
outnes?"
The request is reasonable and we attempt
to comply.
Let us assume lone Prohibitionist, living
IN small village or a country community,
with no Prohibitionists as neighbors, with
modest means and without an abundance of
leisure time. What can he do?
In the first place, it seems to us a prime
essential that this Prohibitionist should
get and keep in touch with the Prohibi-
ton movement by reading the national Pro
hlbltlon paper. We need not emphasize
this. The Importance of it will appeal to
everyone. Next it seems to us essential that
the state Prohibition paper, if there is one,
should be taken and carefully read. 1t may
not be all that could be desired as a Prohi-
bition organ. 1t is probably made by some
enthusiast, at great sacrifice, and shows the
marks thereof. But it is the best means
available of keeping in touch with the work
in the state; and if our friend is going to try
to do his duty as Prohibitionist he must
be in touch with the state work
Next, the Prohibitionist who is seeking for
a chance to do something, ought to con-
slider the question of contributions to ma
tonal and state work. We have assumed
that he is of modest means, and large con-
tributions are not to be expected, but the
modest contribution which he can give is
essential, both for the aid that it will give
the work and for the reflex influence that
it will have upon him. Even when it seems

some songs and recitations by the young
people. Some of the best and most effective
meetings held are arranged in this way. X
All this is very commonplace, very feast
bic, within the reach Of anyone, but this is
an outline of method by which we can have
effective Prohibition work done in every
country community and every hamlet Of the
nation

THE NATIONAL PROHIBITIONIST

If the national committee could have today
all of the "ridiculously small" contributions
which are withheld because they do look so
small, it would settle the financial question
for the committee for months to come
A contribution, then, even if it be small
and given at the cost of sacrifice, should be
made to the national committee and the
state committee should not be forgotten. The
needs of our state committees are frequently
as pressing as the needs Of the national COM
mittee
Attention may now be turned to the local
organization. We might have suggested that
ginning there would sometimes mean chill
and Encouragement
The county chairman should be looked
up and got in touch with Here, again,
there may be need for contribution to help
pay harassing old debt or to begin
needed work The chances are too, that the
county chairman is in need of a local repre-
sentative, town or precinct committeeman
IN your locality and you ought not to shirk
from undertaking the duties of that work
This being done, you can begin to look
about you for opportunities for what you
may call personal service. In all probability.
some of your neighbors are, at least, friendly
toward the Prohibition movement. Per-
haps not few of them are merely waiting
the suggestion to aline themselves with the
Prohibition party. If you will get the Of
fetal election returns you may find that some
of your neighbors are voting the Prohibition
ticket. Perhaps your next-door neighbor has
been voting the ticket for years and YOU
have never known it. Talk with your neigh
bors, find out their standing on the subject,
make thoughtful suggestions to them and get
them to thinking.
1t will be in order, then, for you to try
to get some of your neighbors to reading
about the Prohibition question. In very
plain, matter of-fact way, put the question
before them Remind them of the impor-
lance of the Prohibition issue remind them
that unless they read Prohibition paper
they get nothing reliable about it. Offer to
act as their agent in forwarding their sub
scription
This work, tactfully DONE will give you
group of neighbors who are reading about
the Prohibition question, within a few weeks,
and, when they begin to read, you will be
