ANOTHER VIEW OF ROOSEVELT.

The recent visit OF Joe! Chandler
Harris to dine with President Roose-
welt attracted so much newspaper
comment that the account OF the
trip as told by mir. Billy Sanders"
in Uncle Remus' Magazine for Feb
ruary is OF particular interest "Mr
Billy Sanders. the Sage OF Shady
Dale" gives his views of MIR. Roose-
velt's personality in the most un-
qualified manner.
We'll. | come away from the
White House nightly holp up" he
says. "feelin that Teddy is the pres
ident OF the whole country, an not
of party. an that he oughter make
up his mind for to run ag'in. He

the people twice. That's my idee.

TROTT|NG
HORSEMEN
MEET TODAY

New York, Jan. 29.-In connec-
ton with the midwinter trotting
horse sale at Madison Square Gar
den, trotting horsemen all over the
country met today for a conference
mat will doubtless prove of great
interest to those cyIlcerned in har-
ness races. The convention is held
under the auspices of the new har-
ness racing organization, known as
the International Racing association.
The purpose of the new body. as
announcer by the leaders in the
movement, is to 'liberate harness
horsemen from the existing tyranny
Of ruling powers" presumably the
National and American Trotting as
sociations, and to eventually bring
about such Jules and regulations as
viii offer drivers of the truf such
extra feeders as is needed to make
the racing sport more renumerative
to those who participate in It.
The new body extends an open in
yitatiQn to all track managers and
racing associations as desire to af-
fiIiate with it. Eventually, the pro-
motors Of the International associa-
ton declare, it's influence and power
VIII be extended so as to replace the
two present associations. and thus
bring about new and more pros
porous era of the trotting sport.
The promoters allege that the
time is at hand when the trainer
and driver should be the men to
govern the trotting turf and make
its rules and laws, instead of out
side parties, as at present. It is
stated that a number of important
racing associations have Joined the
new body and that many more will
do so before the present conference
is over.

Hon. Geo Byrne, now OF the Man
ufacturer's Record STAFF, says Dur
ing the recent financial furry inves-
tigation shows me that West Vir-
ginia has withstood the business de-
preston far better than any state in
the Union. During the early days
Of the so-called panic when the
clouds of financial disaster lowered
over all parts of the country, there
was little fear in West Virginia, be-
cause business conditions were on a
sound basis and there was no cause
for alarm. When clearing house
certificates were being issued in
nearly every state there was not a
single one issued in West Virginia.
All banks were able to pay out cur
rency and all business firms were
able to meet their obligations. We
ought to feel proud to be residents
Of this, the only state in the Union
which enjoys this distinction"

WEDNESDAY,, JAN. 30, 1908.

Bluefeld needs corporation
court separate and apart from the
county, with both civil and criminal
Jurisdiction. We should not attempt
TO remove the county court house to
Bluefleld, and place the northern end
OF the county at a disadvantage. but
ask the legislature 10 submit tn
question of amending the Constitu-
ton to the end, that cities with a
population OF ten thousand inhab-
itants and more be empowered to
establish separate courts from the
counties
Bluefield is greatly handicapped
on account of being twelve miles
from the Court House. We should
have a court entirely separate and
apart from the county, with our rec
ords here. We should not ask for the
county seat to be removed to Blue
field.
An effort was made n fw years
ago to remove the county seat from
Princeton TO this place. This would
put the northern end OF the county
at a great disadvantage. The matter
should be settled in another way
let Bluefeld have a corporation
court, and let the county seat re-
main at Princeton.
If the Constitution allowed cities,
with a population of ten thousand
or more, to establish courts separate
from the county, it would work nc
disadvantage upon the county, and
at the same time give the cities
courts of their own.
In Virginia, cities with a popula-
ton of five thousand, may establish
a separate court. Some such plan as
this has been adopted by practically
every state in the Union.
We do not believe that anyone
would object to giving Bluefield a
corporation court, and we should not
undertake to work hardship upon
the entire northern half of the
county.
A large part OF the litigation OF
the county arises here. 1t works
a great inconvenience upon our peo-
pie to lose the time and expense of
a trip to Princeton to attend court
Why can't we cooperate with
Princeton, and ask her to help US
secure a court of our own, and thus
settle forever a sore Of long stand
ing. There is a way out of this diff
fculty which would do justice to
both sides, and this, we believe, is
the solution

SUFFOLK HcraId:

Knowing Judge Rhea as we do.
we expect him to meet the charges
most vigorously. and will be able
to show that they were made upon
hearsay evidence and not actual
facts. AS we have said, we are per-
sonally a friend Of Judge Rhea. but
we do think the governor made a
blunder when he appointed him on
the corporation commission to sue
coed Henry c. Stuart. whose term
expires the first Of February. Our
reasons are these: Judge Rhea, as
well known, was charged by Colonel
Slemp and his friends with being
"a party to the doctorlng of the re-
turns from Buchanan county in his
race for congress against Colonel
Slemp, and a vague suspicion going
the rounds that his political integ-
rity was not what it ought to be.
No man should be placed upon the
commission against whom rests the
least suspicion of trickery, political
or otherwise.

above suspicion as Caesars wife: OF
character not only negatively free

is not too much TO say that the best

TO be sought in the ranks of mill

legitimately be rewarded by politi.
