THE LABOR VOTE.

The belief of Mr.. Bryan that
he is going to receive nearly the
solid vote of the laboring classes
in the United States has II more
substantial foundation than mere
faith. From every quarter comes
news that worlSingmen all over
the country are determined to
answer the slight put upon them
by the Chicago convention with
their ballots. That there is gem
eraI alarm in the Republican
camp in consequence becomes
more apparent each day as the
efforts of Roosevelt, Taft and
the other leaders are put forth
in vain cndeavor to stem the :.
tide.
Mr.. Taft is endcavoring to square
himself for the Injunction issued in
1898, which was denounced by the
chiefs of the great railway organiza-
tions. Mr.. Roosevelt has had some
of the railroad men visit him at the
White House, and the charge is made
that Daniel j. Keefe, president of the
Longshoremen's union has been
promised the place made vacant by
the death of Sargent in return for
his support of Taft
Further proof that the labor vote is
going to Bryan is furnished by Wal
ter Wellman, who uses up two col
umns of the Chicago Record-Herald
to discussing the question, and who
finally comes 10 the conclusion that
the enormous pluralities received by
Roosevelt four years ago is the only
| foundation upon which to base a
| nope for tne election of -Ir. Taft. Mr..
Wellman writes from Cleveland o.,
after interviewing workmen in all
branches of trade, and may be pre-
sumed to know whereof he speaks
when he says that there is a distinct
trend toward Bryan. In the beginning
of his long article, in which he at
tempts to analyze the s:luation, Mr..
Wellman says
Why does the railroad en-
ploye vote and the labor vote in
general show a distinct trend
toward the Democratic party
this year? There is no more
interesting question at present
in the field of politics: for it is
now geenrally recognized that
while the probabilities, broadly
viewed, still favor the election
of Judge Taft over Mr. Bryan,
there are ominous possibilities
of surprise and revolution in the
tendency of the men who work
with their hands to give their
support to the opposition party.
The possibilities are not "ominous"
to the laboring men themselves, and
there will be no very great surprise
it, as now seems more than probable.

SMALL VOTE ON
THE AMENDMENTS
Voters Qualification May pass; coun
" ccurs Probably De-
feated.

The official returns from twenty
out Of the fifty-five counties in the
state sent to the governor and being
compiled by Gen. Il. L. Boggs. gives
the following total votes for and
against the two proposed constitu
tional amendments voted on at the
November election:
Section 4 OF article THE voters
qualification amendment: For, 12.472:
against, Is ST4.
Section % OF article S~-the county
court amendment; For. s.72s; against
1857.
While 1t Is impossible to estimate
how the remaining thirty-five coun
ties will vote on the amendments, the
indications rather point TO the prob
able success OF the voters qualitica
tion amendment and the defeat o.
that providing for the increase OF the
pay OF members OF the county cour,
from So to 81 per day.
The most signal opposition to the
county court amendment 50 far as
heard from. was in Jackson and Pres
ton counties.
In Jackson county the vote stands
SOS for and 1896 against. and in Pres
ton county 1,125 for and 2.s4c
against It seems that In Preston
county i larger ser cent or the voters
expressed themselves one way or the
other on the amendments than IN
any other ounty, at least so far as
heard from.

BREAKING THE LAW
Deputy state Game Warden Stops
Big Shipment Of Birds and Deer
at Romney.


A lot of fellows in West Virginia
and some likely from other states
are going to get into trouble for vio-
lating the state game laws.
Yesterday deputy state game
warden dropped into Ronney, the
county seat of Hampshire county,
just in time to discover a big lot Of
game ready for .hipment to commits
sion merchants in Washington and
Baltimore. In the lot of game were
500 cartridges, 200 pheasants and 10
deer.
The deputy procured the names OF
the parties who brought the game in
and, also, the names of the city mer-
chants to whom it was consigned. He
also picked UP lot Of game ready
for shipment at Green Spring, where
the branch road into Rornney leaves
the main line of the Baltimore and
Ohio.
The guilty parties will find out that
there. is heavy penalty for shipping
game out of the state.

Berkeley Traction Co. win Extend
Line to Winchester and NOT to

From The World Of Friday:
The Hagerstown Mail says:
THE fret step In the project OF con
Meeting Martinsburg and Hagerstown
was completed when the former town
granted franchise to the company
which expects to build the line
'~The line will be continued to the
Potomac river at Williamsport and
win cross on the new bridge and con
meet with the Hagerstown line"
A World reporter interviewed sew
eraI members of the city council this
morning in regard TO the above state
ment and was informed that there is
nothing in II so far as the Berkeley
Traction Co. is oncerned. This com
pany was granted franchise to build
a trolley line within the corponate
limits of Martinsburg. and had their
intention been to extend the line TO
WiIliamsport, said a member Of the
council, they would likely have asked
for franchise to the northern bound
airy line of the city instead of to Moler
avenue, some distance south. AS a
matter of fact the Berkeley Traction
Co. expects to extend its line In the
opposite direction from WillIamsport,
namely to Winchester, thence to

Town
II trolley road is built at all be-
tween Martinsburg and Williansport
it will be built from the river end

$500 COLLECTED
And There are Great Many coun-
ties to Hear From
Na4

Up till yesterday the reports from
the schools of the state showing the
amounts collected on November for
the purchase of the famous mound
at Moundsville. something over $500
was contributed. $500 Of which has
been paid to State Treasurer Ogdin,
who is also treasurer of the fund, ana
the remaining $500 deposited in local
banks to be sent In.
Professor Miller, state supeprinten
dent Of schools, says that a large
number of reports have not been
sent in but from the best estimation
he can now give is, the total sum
win be about $1,000.
The public schools Of Charleston
lead those which have reported with
a collection of $685., Huntington fol-
lowing with $3.50 Neither the
schools of Parkersburg. Wheeling nor
Moundsville have been heard from.
While the school children of the
state have by their contributions re-
Gently made manifested their patri.
otto interest in the preservation OF
this historical relic and for this they
cannot be too highly commended, yet
it is no use Denying the fact that II
this mound Is to be saved from de-
struction by it's owner the legislature
will have to appropriate thu balance
of the money to do it with.
The school children of the state
as rule, as well as their parents
have as many demands for their pen
mics and their dimes as they can well
AFFORD to supply, and 1t would, as sug
gested by Professor Miller. be fruit
less effort to undertake TO raise the
required additional $4,000 from this
source Mr.. Miller expresses his
gratitude because of the generous do
nations made by the schools and the
interest the superintendent, teach
ers, children and parents manifested
in the matter.

LIBRARY DAY IS
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4
The Day is Set Apart to inspire Love
for Better Class OF
Literature.

Friday, December 4, is Library Day
in the public schools of West Virginia
and as such will be observed all over
the state. The library annual is now
in the hands of the state printer and
in few days will be ready for dis
tribution. The purpose of Library
Day, as set forth by Supt. Miller is
to inspire a love for better class OF
literature and to secure additions to
school libraries.
OF the many indications OF educa-
tional progress in West Virginia
there is nothing more significant
than the growth of the school Iibrar-
les in the last eleven years. In 1897
there We're S,026 volumes in the
school libraries. When State Supt.
Miller was elected to Office in 1900
there were 1859 volumes in the
libraries, while the reports OF 1908
show the number OF volumes to have
increasd to 76,76O. The average in.
crease has been nearly 1900 a year.
The largest increase in the number
pt volumes in use in the public
schools is almost due entirely to the
efforts of the teachers and pupils of
the public schools. Only in few
instances has any assistance been Civ
en- by the board Of education as until
recently there has been no provision
OF law authorizing the expenditure of
money for such purposes. However,
the last legislature. in revising the
school laws provided that boards OF
education may purchase books for H.
braries, but not more than ten dor-
lars shall be expended in any year
for this purpose.
The new educational laws also pro.
vide that the state superintendent
shall publish a list of the books suit
able for school libraries, and in ac-1
cordance with this statute Supt. Mil
Ter has prepared list of 400 books
from which selections can be made.
The following is the program sus
gested by Supt Miller for the observ-
ance of Library Day when it is hoped
to increase the number of volumes
by several thousand

MAN STOLE BOOKS
GETS THREE YEARS
John McFadden, Of Winchester
Found Guilty at Carlisle Of Steal
ing Mileage Books.

John McFadden, alias Milligan, who
pleaded guilty to the larceny of about
$500 worth Of mileage books from the
Cumberland Valley railroad Office at
fredericksburg, was called for SEN
tence in Carlisle Saturday morning.
He comes from very respectable
family in Winchester. and his mother
and brother were last week to see
him and his attorney, William A.
Kramer, Esq. The latter asked for
Ieniency. District Attorney Riley
said that so far as he personally was
concerned for the parents sake. hao
it been McFadden's first offense, he
would be satisfied with light sen
tence. But such sentence should
be imposed as would deter other men
from committing like crimes. Mr
Kramer saif that up to 1907 McFNad
den was a good young man. He Is
apparently about 80 years old. Judge
Sadler sentenced him to three years
in the eastern penitentiary. to pay a
fine of S. and costs. He said he would
have left him off IL it had been his
first offepse.
