Record Run FOR swisher.

Just as We expected, the rumor,
which arose through Democratic
sources, last week, that Hon. Charles
w. Swisher was to be side-tracked
from his candidacy for the Repub-
lican nomination for governor and
given the internal revenue collector
ship, now held by Mr.. w. E. Glass
cock, of Morgantown, has been bit
terly denied by Mr.. Swisher himself
in an interview given out at Charles
ton. There must be some very poig-
nant reason, says the Grafton Repub-
lican, why the Democracy don't
want Mr.. Swisher to be a candidate
for the governorship. Time and
again it has tried to side-track him
for one thing and another until the
list has about been gone through
with, and there's now nothing short
of an United States Senatorship to
offer him to get out of the way Of
some one the enemy don't name. It
looks as though the dear Democracy
is dreadfully scared to go up against
Mr.. Swisher. Every day or so Mr..
Swisher's political enemies break out
with what will happen If he gets the
nomination. Well, If he is so easy
to beat, why don't the enemy shut
up and get busy? If the Democracy
has a chance to redeem" the state,
why not grab the opportunity and
hold it fast? This is good reason
ing. Mr.. swisher is getting tired of
denying rumors of his side-tracking;
he has said that he won't have any
thing and don't want anything but
the governorship of his own great
state, and this, subject alone to the
will of the Republican voters. II
his enemies will kindly switch him
off the "side-track," give him fair
show on the main branch" and will
not unfairly displace rails" or
bridges" they'll see him come into
the union depot" with fine "rec-
ord run" to his credit, and right on
schedule time"

The verdict of the jury in the case
of the State against Mrs. oma Nc
Court, tried for bigamy and acquit-
ter, is one of Importance, not only to
the woman and those Immediately
connected with the case, but to the
State. The woman's first husband
lives, so does the second. No d.
vorce was ever obtained, and yet the
verdict of acquittal serves the pur-
poses of divorce from the criminal
viewpoint. She cannot be again put
in jeopardy for this bigamy. In the
eye of the law there is no question
that she was McCourt's wife and not
Hornick's. Whose wife is she now?
What effect does the verdict have on
property rights? The case in its
present status is one for even lawyers
to think about.

as yet a statute on the subject. says
the Dispatch:
The abstract proposition Of Con-
gresham J. Hampton Moore In a bin
which he has introduced into the
House that train-wrecking where II
causes loss Of life should be ranked
with murder, to be punishable BY
death, is beyond dispute. No intelli-
gent man can deny that it is murder.
But the incorporation of this prin-
ciple in a bill proposed to be enacted
as national legislation evokes two
comments.
One is that Mr.. Moore is a member
in good standing of a political ele-
ment which has shown a lively dis
position to make capital out of a
certain Presidential disposition to
stray rather beyond the constitutions
al limits between State and Federal
authority. Yet the Presidents ut
most aggression on State rights is
nowhere beside this. Where in the
United States Constitution is the
power granted to Congress to define
the grades and degrees of crime?
What proposition of President Roose-
velt's approaches this one to have
Congress invade field that both by
written constitutions and the undis-
puted practice of over a century is
entirely within the province of the
States?
The other comment is that If there
is any need for the enactment of Mr..
Moore's proposition the political ele-
ment to which ne gives allegiance
certainly has enough influence with
the Legislature of Pennsylvania to
secure its introduction and passage
But is there any need of it? AS a
matter of fact, the statutes of Penn
sylvanIa define this crime as murder.
II there is any State where the same
principle does not obtain, either un-
der statute or common law, it is a
matter for that State to amend.

Taft ht Cooper Union.

William H. Taft's Cooper Union
speech of recent date is attracting
wide attention and approval. 1t
was a plain, honest presentation of
the proper relationship between
capital and labor, and both give his
position on these great questions
hearty support. An exchange
analyses and compliments the speech
as follows:
The friend of the laboring man is
he who will tell him the plain, blunt
truth. Judged by that test, and it
is the only test, there is not bet
ter friend of what is called American
labor in all the Union than William
Howard Taft. There are men who
will protest their solicitude for labor,
who will condole with it, fall on its
neck and weep salt tears over it,
and all the time lie for it, for the
reason that it is a moral and poll
teal impossibility for these gentry
to keep their spinal columns, II they
have any, erect in the presence OF
any citizenship that can vote. No
need to mention them. They have
all been marked.
Mr.. Taft tells labor that capital,
too, has rights, and that the saliva
tion of labor is the guarantee of
property. Unless capital gets ade-
quate return for its enterprise, where
is labor going to find job? Men
do not establish factories solely to
employ labor and pay it a wage, but
factories are erected and put in OPP
Grafton to earn dividends for capital.
To earn such dividends labor is
necessary, and that labor must not
only he well paid, but 1t must be
content with its wage and It's en-
vironments.
Mr.. Taft also tells labor that it is
wrong to boycott, and he then warns
capital that it is wrong to blacklist.
He approves and applauds the com
binations of labor, and asserts its
right to strike when it feels that it
is oppressed; but he declares that
unorganized labor has as much right
to work as organized, and we do not
believe this generation of the Ameri-
can electorate will choose any man
to the great place of President who
teaches anything else.
This paper is not the organ OF
Mr.. Taft, or of anybody else, but it
indorses his Cooper Union speech,
and such sentiments as he there ut
tered would add strength to any
candidate Of either party for Presi-
dent of the United States.
This is yet government of jus
tice as well as Of law, of common
sense as well as Of patriotism.

The FairmOnt Times says william
Talkington committed suicide at a
house Of ill-repute in cIarksburg.
The Times knows better than that.
That paper ought to post itself on
the fact that the west end OF the big
tunnel ON the Short Line railroad is
in Wetzel county, and 1t would take
more figuring than the Times could
do in a year to figure 1t out that that
place is in Clarksburg or that Clarks-
burg is in Wetzel county. What is
the motive in misrepresenting the
occurrence?

The prevalent sentiment as to the
oma McCourt bigamy case is that
the jury did right. when it acquitted
her of the charge. as it was clearly
shown that there was no intent on
her part to commit any crime. The
case being void of intent to trans
gress the law, though ignorance of
the law does not excuse. it would
not have been justice to convict her.
Had the jury done SO, it would have
been an instance of law without jus
tice, and they all say the law is just.

THE editorial in this paper
which appeared two weeks ago
touchi g the method of procur-
ing evidence for the prosecution
Of violations of law in selling
liquor to minors at Iron River
seems to have touched some of
our good readers. While we
have been highly complime nted
by some, others have intimated
that we did not come within
speaking distance of the truth.
So ncertain were we about the
matter that the writer made a
special trip to Iron River for the
purpose of verifying the truth of
the statements contained in the
editorial. No one in either of
the factions knew that We we're
in the city and we carried on a
little quiet Investigations all by
ourself. We are satisfied from
our Investigations that the
methods used in securing
evidence we're as bad as the VIC.
lations of the law. This does
not however belittle the fact that
it was undoubtedly true that
saloon keepers sold the liquor
to minors and had done so for
some time. Those who violated
the law should be punished. and
all good citizens should see that
the law is obeyed, but in order
to get a proper law enforcement
the bitterness and the venom ex-
hibited in the Iron River fight
should be thrown aside and in
it's place should come a united
effort to secure a clean and re-
spectacle city. Personal pre-
judice will accomplish nothing
but a morally healthy movement
will move mountains.

Timid People.

1t is the habit of some peo-
pie to laugh at the terror
which is experienced by
others at the heavy thunder
crash or the flashing light
ming. This is both cruel and
wicked since the victim is no
more to blame for it than for
the color of his eyes and
hair-in fact. like them, it is
often hereditary. Such per-
sons should be pitied and
soothed, and allowed during
these periods to be always
near some one weOm they
love and confde in. More

rem, some of whom suffer
