Marion,s Rotten Ring.

Prior to the Republican primary
election in Harrison county, the Mar
ion county Republican ring through
certain of its agencies, spent much
time and some means no doubt cir
culating through this county the
charge that election frauds were to
be committed by the Republican or
ganization of this county. Column
after column of falsity in this re-
spect was played up under flaming
headlines and the Marion county
gang actually acted as If 1t believed
what it had cunningly imagined in
its fancy to NEEDLE into other peo-
pies business.
But, the cry of stop thief. it de-
velops. was only to detract attention
so that 1t could steal Marion county.
and from what is apparently develop
ing, it did steal the county hut got
caught in the act. and, now states
prison stares some members of that
rotten political bunch cruelty but de-
terminedly in the face.
From the Telegram news columns
1t is seen that Judge Mason does not
intend to tolerate any such political
crookedness and corruption in his
county and the way of the trans
gressor is to be hard. A special
grand jury may be called to consider
the action of the hypocritical crowd
in Marion county that yelled fraud
in Harrison county in order to hide
its own steal.
Two years ago some of that guilty
bunch narrowly escaped prison bars,
and following so soon with even
grosser election frauds, as appears to
be the case, they are certainly DOOM
ed to felon's fate.
The Marion county ring is without
a doubt the rottenest political organ
ization in the state and Judge Mason
will do West Virginia a good turn
to give it its Just desert, by making
some of its members serve time.

tied. Friends of protective taria
have declared that a protective sys-
tenn issmore advantageous to our
country than free trade. because II
provides and protects industries that
could not exist without that protec-
tion by reason of one-sided COM
petition by the same industries in
foreign countries where cost of pro-
duction and natural facilities enable
the foreign manufacturers to bring
the price down lower than the cost
OF production in this country. With
q free trade system the products OF
q country would be narrowed down
to those industries and sources OF
production typical OF that country,s
natural resources. and, in the United
States, il free trade prevailed, the
nation would have to depend upon
Its agricultural products for It's chief
enterprise. thereby running into the
very danger the Register declares I'M
makes town which lacks a sufficient
diversity of Industry to insure its
continued prosperity. Gone would
be thousands of American manufac-
turing establishments and hundreds
of thousands OF American working
men would be out of employment!
or course, the Telegram does not
intend to twist the Registers con-
clusion unreasonably from one APP
plication to another. nor attempt to
reverse the law of thought which
holds that the particular instance is
contained in the general rule; but,
the Registers conclusion is given
with such an assumed generality that
the Telegram is led to infer that the
conclusion is laid down for universal
application. And II a diversity of
industries is productive of general
good in city like Wheeling, why
should 1T not prove advantageous in
all of the other American cities, or
the nation itself?

West Milford

WEST MILFORD, April 15.-our
people are glad to welcome TO our
town our former neighbors, Mr. and
Mrs. N. B. Terrell. who have been
living in Clarksburg for two years,
but having sold their residence there
they decided that West Milford was
good enough for them. They have
purchased the property formerly
owned by them in the eastern part Of
the town, on which they are going to
build new dwelling house. A. S.
Van Horn Is the contractor.
Lest it be thought that you have
no correspondent at his place, we will
disabuse the minds of such. II any
there be. by giving some of the news
of this part of the domains.
On account of the wet weather of
the last three weeks, but little IL any
farm work has been done. but should
the present bright weather continue
for few days, great deal of such
work will be done, besides garden
making will demand the attention of
every one fortunate enough to pos
sess n garden.
The primary election passed Off
quietly at this place. The number
voting being far in excess of any pre-
vious primary election. The various
candidates had their workers on the
ground early, and many of them
stayed until the polls closed-never
once giving up the fight. Mr.. Hub
bard was ably represented by Mr..
Terrell and others. while Harry
Sturm was the principal advocate of
Mr.. Hazlett, and how well he han
died his part is best attested by the
returns, which show that he landed
almost so per cent of the vote for
his favorite. While many of us held
different opinions as to the best men
to nominate for the offices, and few II
any got their choice. Yet, we all
now stand together as one man for
the whole ticket, and Will be found

Diversified Industries.

THE Importance to community
OF diversity of industries cannot be
over-estimated," declares the Wheel
ing Register in an editorial upon
what makes and unmakes a. town,
which is brought to the mind of the
writer by the threat of President
Joseph II. Patterson, of Dayton, o.,
to move the National Cash Register
Company's works away from Day
ton. The Register writer doubt
less had his mind entirely olsen
gased from Thoughts of the tariff
when he wrote of Dayton's particular
case, nevertheless he arrives at q
general conclusion that has been &C.
cepted as truism by Republicans ir
general, and quite a number o!
Democrats. in connection with the
operation of our tariff system. The
Registers conclusion is as follows:
Diversity of manufacturers ant
diversity of business in as man.
channels as possible are the touch
stones TO permanent success an,

big advantages of protective tart

Judge N. H. willis,

The approaching state convention
at Parkersburg is of more than ordi-
nary interest. Not only should that
convention name men who will voice
the sentiment of the people of the
state as presidential candidate, in
other words. name men who will vote
for William H. Taft for president,
but 1t should also name men for su-
preme judges, who will command the
great majority OF votes in the state,
in other words, name the three
judges who will be elected this year.
There are several well-qualified
men for the place. Among these are
such men as NJ. Fl. Willis, OF Dod-
bridge county, Ira Il. Robinson, of
Taylor, and Thomas P. Jacobs, of
Wetzel-all close to the residents of
Harrison county owing to their resi-
dent counties being adjacent. All
are, well qualified for the place.
Judge Willis is making an active
canvass for the short term, Judge
Robinson is an avowed candidate for
the long term and Judge Jacobs has
announced himself. Extended men
tion has been made by the Telegram
of the last two named, and kindly
disposed toward Judge Willis, as well
as knowing him highly worthy OF the
honor, this paper appends a short
sketch of Doddrldge county's emin-
ent jurist:
Judge Marsh Raymond Willis.
judge of the second judicial district.
and, at present, candidate for the
nomination for judge of the supreme
court of appeals on the Republican
ticket with bright prospects of being
successful, was born near Mole Hill,
Richie county, Virginia (now West
virginia., January 81, 1862. His
early life was spent on the farm of
his father, n. ]. Willis, and in the
country schools. In his early school
work he was greatly aided by his
mother. AT the age of sixteen he
taught his first school, and for some
years thereafter his time was fully
occupied in teaching, study and farm
work. He attended the West vir-
ginia University at Morgantown and
was graduated from what is now the
Valparaiso Undiana) University in
1856. He was valedictorian of his
class of seventy-six members. He
taught in Dakota, Wisconsin and
West Virginia and pursued the study
of law. He was admitted to prac-
tice in this state in July, 1890, his
license bearing the signatures of
Thomas l. Foreman, Judge j.
Marshall Hagans and Judge Thomas
p. Jacobs, of whom the latter is the
only one living.
In 1890 he was named without OPP
position as the Republican candidate
for judge OF the Fourth judicial cir
cult to fill the unexpired term of
Hon. Romeo II Freer, who had re-
signed to accept a seat in congress.
He was elected and Immediately en-
tered upon the duties of his office.
All of the counties of this circuit
were in the oil belt and the work
was very heavy. The Legislature of
1903 re-arranged the judicial circuits
and in so doing took off Richie
county. leaving Doddridge, Tyler and
Wetzel together, calling the new cir
cult the Second instead of TIE Fourth.
His work on the bench was so salts
factory to the bar and people general
ly that he was renominated without
opposition and reelected.
