The inherent difficulties in adjust
ing our great national puzzle, the
tariff, to all parts of the country are
we'll illustrated in this paragraph from
the Philadelphia Times:
The Texas ranchers oppose free
hides, while the New England shoe
manufacturers want free hides. Some
times there are two sides to a tariff
question.
And We could find an equally apt
illustration here in Florida. The great
est good to the greatest number is per-
haps the most equitable way to solve
the puzzle, and that would certainly
call for a heavy reduction in duties.

Good and True Who Always Vote


The recent election in this state
shows conclusively that there are
about 10000 true and tried Democrats
who never fail to vote In the cleo
tion four years ago y. B. Broward re-
ceived 2S,971 votes for governor, and
at the election on the Sd instant \.
W. Gilchrist received 33.036. Now the
republicans and socialists claim to
have greatly increased their vote over
four years ago, but it i evident from
the official canvass that they did not
draw their strength from the demo
cratic party, as Gilchrist's vote was
4,065 more than Broward's. The re-
publicans only received So votes more
on the Sd instant than they did in
1904, and the socialists 1,157. The
combined vote on the Sd instant of
the socialists and republicans was
$3.50, leaving a clear majority for
the democrats of 24.156, and hundreds
of democrats did not vote, because
they were under the impression that
all of the party nominees would be
elected and were in no danger. While
the socialists show an increase OF
1,157 votes. the democrats show much
better. and it may be set down that
it will be a long time before dem
ocracy is turned down in Florida by
any other party.-JackSo1vill Me-

between Swisher and Schcrr. This
is not fair statement of the situa-
ton. There was contest between
Scherr and Swisher as to who would
be nominated for governor. That
contest ceased at Charleston, by
Swisher obtaining the regular nomi-
nation of his party, and by Scherr re-
fusing to recognize the regular con-
vention and forming the Mugwump
Grant-Scherr party. And all this be-
fore the regular convention met.
Now the contest between Swisher
Scherr and Hearne ended at Charles
ton, and the contest is now between
the Democratic party headed by Mr..
Bennett; the regular Republican par
ty-the party OF Lincoln, Grant, Har-
rlson, Blaine and Roosevelt, headed
by Mr.. Swisher; and the E. NJ. Grant
Scherr party Of mugwumps.
These three parties are contendins
before the people as to which shall
control the state in the coming cleo
ton. When lifelong Repu blican is
asked what party he is going to sus-
tain. and he says the Republican par
ty, that 1t is regular and ne has no
idea of voting for any other party,
the Democrta4Grant-Sc deny
at once that such a person has de-
clared for Swisher. They never an
nounce that anybody has declared for
Scherr. This Is misleading and cal
culated to deceive the people. and is
done for this purpose and no other.
Republicans should be on their guard
against this sort OF deception. The
supreme contention now before the
people of West Virginia is, whether
Republican or Democratic principles
shall prevail in this state. The
fight is between the two great polit-
ical parties, Republican and Demo-
crat, with the Mugwump-Grant-
Scherr followers aiding and abetting
the Democrats. 1t is all wrong.

The Wheeling Intelllgencer which
is seeking the election ,of the Demo.
cratic ticket in this state does not
have smooth sailing at home. Re-
publicans in counties nearest to 1t de-
mand that they shall not be mlsrep-
resented and the Intelligencer is
forced in some instances at least to
publish these demands. which expose
the deceit attempted to be practiced

cans in Harrison and, other counties
to vote against the Republican ticket
and, thereby, aid in the election of

prominently identified with the RE-
publican party.
The Monndsyille Herald, trne TO its
party, does not hesitate plainly toI
stamp as false the claims made by the
Inteiligencer that Marshall county
Republicans are not for the state
ticket, and in such deniais does not
refrain from alIusion to the duplIc-
lily Of Arnold G. Scherr In the treat
ment he gave William II. Heafne,
whom the dntelligencer was hypo-I
critically supporting at the time.
The Herald points out emphatically
the charge made by Hearne that
Scherr played in with the ministers
and al the same time made his head
quarters at saloon In that county,
and the Herald takes the Intelligen-
Ger to task for not denying the
charge. The fact that there was no
denial is conclusive evidence that the
Tntelligencer was apprised OF the
truth of the charge. 1t cringes as
the coward under this charge.
Since that piece of double dealing
on the part of Arnold G. Scherr, and.
especially, after the conference had

burg, as the Herald says, the rump
Intelligencer, which Is advising Re-
publicans to vote for Bennett and

claims Marshall county Republicans
are disloyal and that they are going
to follow the hybrid Intelligencer's
lead. The truth of the situation in
Marshall county is that the Republi-
cans are going to do nothing of the
kind. They have no patience with
the Scherr conspiracy to defeat the
Republican party. They are lining
up for the regular Republican tick
ct, regularly nominated, and will
give It an arousing fine majority.
Hon. ]. j. sammons, chairman OF the
county committee in Marshall, in a
card to the Intelligencer Indignantly
denies that papers classification Of
the Marshall county Republicans
with the Democratic-Scher alliance.
Mr.. Sammons says, AS chairman OIL

mittee wish to state that this coun-
ty has not endorsed scherr for gov
ernor as the 1ntelllgencer stated.
Neither will 1t do SO. This county is

The Public Schools.

The free public school system OF
West Virginia was established by the
Republican party in the first consti-
tuition adopted by the 1ate. 1t has
done more to disseminate intelligence
and uplift the people of this state
than any other agency. The Repub-
lican party has zealously guarded this
institution of its inception, and for
that reason provided for an irreduci-
BILE school fund which looked to the
perpetuation OF the admirable sys-
TEN of free education which 1t estab-
lished. How does the Democratic
party stand on this question in Its
platform? 1t is absolutely silent on
the subject.
On the other hand the Republican
platform is quite communicative with
regard to this matter. Within the
last few years." says the platform,
"the minimum term OF our public
schools has been increased fifty per
cent. Within the same period other
distinct advances have been made in
our system of public. education. We
heartily favor the continuation of
this good work and all possible aid
to the common schools, as well as the
generous support of the other schools
of the state"
Probably the omission of the Dem
ocratic party to have anything to say
on the school question in its platform
may seem to lie immaterial to some
people, but to most of us who hold
education as the enlightening lamp
of good citizenship, the neglect is an
evidence of Indifference of the party
on vital question.
