Jim crow sign

Republican headquarters at CIarks-
burg has hung up The Jim Crow sign.
Sc psrate apartments have been fit.
up for the colored callers and they ~
not allowed in the White Company
meut.D
The above item WAS not Gu: from the
columns Of the, Statesman Democrat
but from the Martinsburg Herald and
right from the editorial columns of that
paper which areEedited by Mr.. w. III
Thomas, the reps blican candidate for
prosecuting attorney. We ask the
negro voters of Berkeley coanty what
they think of this item. does it not
look like the republican party has no
use for the negro except to get his vote?
And Mr.. Thomas, who is ready to
hight, bleed and die for the c,lored
brother, is responsible for. this fling.
When they so far forget themselves as
TO do and say such things during the
election. What will they do after the
election? They would be apt to kick
him off the earth.

The republican column of the Jour-
nal on Monday evening contained .
lot of rot about Mr.. Bryan and the
Philo Bennett will case. We have been
expecting this Islander and it arrived
in due time.
The facts are that Mr.. Bennett, a
very wealthy citizen Of Connecticut,
an ardent admirer of Mr.. Bryans do
mated to Mr.. Bryan several thousand
dollars to help on the cause of the re-
form for which Mr.. Bryan was con-
tending aud in his will which he had
Mr.. Bryan write he bsqueathed to
Mr.. Bryan $4,000 besides leaving \
large fortune to his surviving wife, he
having no children.
Suit was brought by the widow
who succeeded ID breaking the viii
and getting all the fortune. Mr.
Bryan's throughout the whole
proceeding acted the part of an homes
man and ss any other man woul,
have done even including Charles
Peter Light.

The republican speakers and writers
evidently consider that they have,
with the big boss, Teddy, been put ia
the hole and the hole stopped up on
all the issues discussed by Bryan and
Roosevelt. They having nothing else
are banging away at the guaranty of
bank deposits.
They evidently think they will be
able to convince the voters that white

ut one single reason for Directing t

During the campaign OF 1914 the
Standard Oil Company gave Sloo,ooo
to Mr. Roosevelt's campaign fund ana
tho President ordered Mr.. Cortelyou
to return the mohey.
During this campaign Edward II.
III arriman visited the White House by
inv itatien and after a conference with
MIR. Roosevelt raised $3.50, 900 which he
claims, turned $4,000 votes in This
State.
In yirtuously spurning the STAND
ard Oil money Mr.. Roosevelt mosl
have assumed that its acceptance
would establish what Plat calls "the
moral obligation But If STANDARD
Oil money implied such an obligation
how about Harriman's money? Was
hi, $3.50 900 less tainted than the
standards $3.50, 900? Or did Mr.. Roose-
Welt assume ,hst it would be easier 10
sunco Hartman than to punco the
| Standard Oil crowd?
Mr.. Roosevelt May have convinced
himseI that he has said everything
about the 1904 contributions that h'
need s to say, out therein much the'
he has left unex planned. Does he kne"
THAT the Standard Oil contributed
was returned as he directed? Oti1c1al

Man-a-lin the Ideal Laxative.

The principal objection advanced
against the guarantee of bank deposits
is that big, strong, conservative and
prosperous banks would be taxed for
the Strengthening of smaller and weak
er banks. Why should they not? That
is the general rule of taxation for all
public purposes.
Berkeley, Ohio, Marion, Wood,
Kanawha, Cabell aud other large
counties pay taxes for state,school pur-
poses that never get back to tho tax
payer who paid it, and will any sensi-
Bile man say that that system is
wrong? The banks pay taxes every
year for the maintenance Of the pub
lie roads, the public schools and 'ther
direct benefit therefrom.
AS our correspondent last week pointed
out, the old bachelors pay taxes for
maintenance of the schools and yet
never get any direct beneat from the
schools they have no children
to send to school. Will anybody say
that that system is wrong? OF course
not. These taxes are paid for the gen.
eral elfare of the community ano
why should not the banks pty
tax for the general welfare Of
the great mon. tary system of the
country especially since it has been
shown that the tax would be SO small
that no bank would scarcely feel it,
Now on the other hand lock at the
advantages Of the guaranty OF ban k
deposits. If one bank in Martinsburg
should advertise that it will in the fu-
ture guarantee deposits how long
wouldn't be before all the others would
have to do likewise? If one bank in the
town gave positive guarantee for de-
posits all the people would rush to
that bank with their deposits. That
shows whether the common people,
who have little money to deposit
but who do not own stock in the
banks, will support the proposition or
not. The people are strong for the guar
antee of deposits, and, IN the name o
good sense, why should they not be.
Instead of the guarantee of deposits
eur republican friends offer what
United States Postal Savings banks
And how would that work? Wher
anybody has money that they wish to
Law by they would take it to the post
-uaster and the money would b.
sent to The treasury department
From there it would be sent t.
to New York banks just as the.
have been lending the New YorF
banks money for yeals when ever the.
ask for it. Thus the country would b
drained by the New York banks wors
than it is now and in few years a
the surplus money of the country dis
tricts would be III the Wall stree
vaults.

Even Pennsylvania rose and smash

publicaEs repudiate Elkins?
The rule of Stephen B. Elkins

more intolerant than Quayism ever

Charles Peter Light who has been
weeping over the negro and the propo-
sition to jim crow him, belongs to the
republican state committee which has
provided real Jim crow apartment
where the negroes are entertained at
their headquarters. How these repub-
liern politicians love the negroes about
election time and the rest of the year
they think that they must abuse the
negro more than the democrats to re-
establish themselves in society and to
that end are wickedly cruel.
When republicans weep and howl
over the poor negro they are not honest
or sincere. They are only playing pol
itics and after they get his vote he is to
them Only beast Of burden.
