Then the sexton became Indignant

SENATOR SooTT in his Shepherds
town speech boldly asserted that the
tariff on glass and coal and lumber
was necessary to enable the producers
to pay living wages to their employees.
What rotl
The chief effect of the tariff on glass
in West Virginia has been to make a
millionaire of Mr.. Scott-to make him
SO rich that he could easily buy seat
in the United States Senate. The
tariff on lumber and coal has simply
served to fill the Golfers of Senator
Elkius and his associates.
DOES any ordinary man who has a
house to build or who wants to keep
fire burning in his little home want
to Gdd still more to the vast we alth of
men like Elkins and Scott2
Ii he does, he should vote the Re-
publican ticket. If he does not, he
should support the Democratic .nomi-
nees.

paid ADVERTISEMENT
HON. TRACY L. JEFFORDS.


The Republican Senatorial Commit
tee made wiee selection when at
their meeting here on Saturday last
they named the Hon. Tracy L. JET
fords for the State Senate to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation OF
Mr.. Miller, Of Hampshire county.
Mr.. Jefords is a Republican of first
water and is from the rock-ribbed
Democratic stronghold of Jefferson
county. He is gentleman of ster-
ling qualities, courteous, broadminded
and generous, ard stands out as man
of highest Christian character. He
speaks evil of none and stands for the
things that are highest and best.
he has been in active politics for
many years, and yet is noticeably
without the faint that so often fastens
itself upon good men who have been
actively engaged in political matters.
He has never sought Office, but in 1904
he was unanimously chosen as a presi-
Dental elector, receiving the largest
vote ever given any person for any OF.
fee in the State, which speaks we'll of
his personal popularity. As mem
Der of the Congressional Committee he
has served with distinction for the
past ten years. he has been a dele.
gate from his county to every State
convention in the last twelve years.
Mr.. Jeffords is well and favorably
known all over the State where he has
actively campaigned in general way.
In his own district he has made speech.
es in every county and has spoken to
more people than any person who has
not been canvassing as a candidate.
His voice and face are familiar to the
voters in nearly every hamlet and
cross roads in the four counties ofthis
senatorial district. When old Nor.
gan desires to brighten the fires in the
Republican camp the word goes forth
to send for Jefords and the work is
done.
As a lawyer and debater he is in
the front ranks. He is member Of
the Methodist Episcopal Church in
Harper's Ferry and Master in the
Masonic Lodge. AS an Odd Fellow
he had large part in establishing and
making a success of the Tri-State meet
ing Of that order which is proving go
popular feature among the members
of that fraternity in this section.
The committee, we reiterats, did the
wise thing when they cast the mantle
on Tracy L. Jefords. -Berkeley

''Our daughter, who is twelve years Of

A GOOD deal Of criticism has been
directed at WIN. E. Glasscock, Re.
publican, candidate for Governor of
West Virginia, because of the fact
that ne was put on the ticket at the
direct command Of Senator Elkins and
has been, and is yet, We understand,
the paid attorney of the Senator. A
neighboring Republican newspaper
says that there Is no harm in this, and
publishes long list Of well. known at
torneys Of this State who have been or
are now in the legal employ of Sena,
tor Elkins. This list-a Republican
document-shows in a startling way
the grip that the Senator has upon
West Virginia. 1t includes.

We submit to thoughtful men of all

Concerning the Baltimore Sun.

OCTOBER 20, 1908.
EDITOR REGIsTER-As travelling man,
have noted in the columns OF news
papers throughout the Shenandoah VAL
ley many caustlc criticisms OF the pres
emit course OF the Baltimore Sun, and l
have noted with pain the way that the
Democrats are fighting it. say this

of the Sun for lifetime; nor have /, a
Democrat, ceased to be reader now. l
think that any paper or individual has
an inalienable right to support its choice.
do not think that the Sun is at all Gull
pable in supporting Taft. But
The Sun is not the paper that it was.
A paper of to- day in big city is made
or marred by the men who control or
own it. There are two theories in cir
culation among newspaper men as to
the Sun: That it is now largely con-
trolled by big Wall-Street-owned pa
per; or that the managing owner has
changed politics for reasons best known
to himself The latter theory was init
mated by a cartoon in the American,
representing the owner Of that paper
and the American Star playing golf with
Judge Taft, and Mr.. Walter Abel, man
aging owner of the Sun, jumping of the
fence to Join them. am told by some
who profess to know young Mr.. Walter

time lover Of the Sun as a Paper Of
Character.
felt that the Sun had doubts about
supporting any Democratic nominee, let
alone Bryan, and l felt sorry for the ed
itors in their unhappily uncertain posi-
ton waiting orders. But
My pity was turned to something like
irritation; for some editor or editors are
not fighting against Democracy as fair
" as their former Republican opponents,
The Sun has been fighting Bryan and
all his supporters by insinuation and In
uendo. Now these editors may think
that they are fooling some OF the people
all Of the time; but / have been surprised
to find that many of all ranks and con-
ditions have quite ''seen through 1t. p"
Under the cover Of sit is said" the "staff
correspondent, paid to find anti-Bryan
items, has slung a good deal OF mud un-
der the impression that his operations
were not perceived. Again, the mills
shut down at Sparrow's Point, and one
day the Sun undertakes elaborately to
lay that on the fear of Bryau's election.
A day or so later the factories at Gu m
berland open up, and while the Sun
hasn't the hardihood at once TO put that
on the prospect of Taft's election, ii
headlines the notices along with two
columns of Taft and prosperity The
other was placed in the Democratic news
columns.
The Sun has its "dander up" 1t

tation for influence. Unless the Sun
changes its indirectness and present
narrowness, the day Of its influence as
a Pafsr Of Character is approaching
an end.

In his speech In Shepherdstown
Monday night Senator N. B. Scott
read list OF churches In this section
for which he promised to use his in.
fuence in having claims for war dam
ages passed through Congress. This
is very nice of him. Yet, when a
year or two ago a person from this
county wrote him letter asking him
for modest contribution toward the
erection of new church, he received
a curt and ungraclous note of refusal
that made him deeply regret having
made the appeal. The Senator, with
all his millions, roughly declined to
give cent for worthy cause. Per-
hapu he is more generous with the gov.
ernment's money.
