"PerlieiOuS Political Activity"

President Roosevelt has removed
Lincoln Avery and Charles A.
Bailey, prominent officeholders
under the government in Michigan
for "pernicious political activity" "
Circumstances preclude the attach
ment Of any such penalty to Presid-
ent Roosevelt for similar activity.
Messrs. Avery and Bailey, tap
pears, used their position to infiu-
ence politically the force of classi-
fed clerks under, them, and to
stimulate campaign contributions
from them. DemeanOr of this sort
Is undoubtedly pernicious. 1t is
fatty forbidden by the rules of the
civil service, and the gentlemen
fully deserve their punishment.
Yet what must they think of the
Judge who elects them with such
virtuous wrath! He, too, holds a
position under the government,
controlling an army of subordi-
mates far outmatching theirs, and
he has used his position with far
greater skill and boldness to ac-
complish political influence for
himself. He has, so far as known,
employed no threat; but he has not
scrupled to exploit his great office
for political advantage, and throw
the immense weight of it behind
the astounding insiDuation that all
those who who fail to vote accord
ing to his thinking forfeit their
title to good citizenship.
Messrs. Avery and Bailey are
justly dismissed for the infraction
of plain rules. There are no rules
governing the political and partisan
behavior of the President of the
United States, none having been
thought necessary hitherto. Con-
sequently, he suffers no punish
ment, other than that which comes
to sensitive men from the loss of
public esteem. Yet, compared to
the quiet pool of the Michigan
customs house, the pernicious po-
litical activity of Theodore Roose-
welt is like 4 bowling hurricane

Usual Republican Logic.

1t is pretty plain that the Amer
lean Bankers Association succeed
ed IN neutralizing its condemnation
of the guarantee of deposits, when
it also adopted declaration against
postal savings banks.
The Republican papers have been
making a great blow" about the
bankers adopting resolutions con-
demning the guarantee of bank de-
posits, but so far they have print
ed nothing about the convention
also opposing the postal savings
bank plan of the Republicans.
Another thing that seems to have
been overlooked by many is the
fact that the first move for guar
antee of bank deposits was made
by Republican Congress in which
the plan was approved in a bill
offered by a Republican member.
1t was good doctrine as long as
the Republicans wanted it, but the
moment that the Democrates take
up the idea it is radical" and
revolutionary"
That is on a par with the uaua
Republican logic.

Royal, was here yesterday attend
ing the session of the Acting
Board of the Shenandoah Associa-

by his many friends.
MIR. Ford has taken an active
interest in the business and social
affairs of Front Royal. and the
people of that thriving town have
appreciated his efforts and ability

IN their Town Council. He was
also a member of the con. mittee

motto is, Look at expenditures in
the light of investments; and, while
exercising due caution. be gener-
Gus in public expenditures for the
education of the children and the
Improvement of the town"
That's q mighty good motto.
We might adopt it in Berryville

Yet in the face of this situation
the Bankers Association proceeded
straightway to adopt resolutiar
condemning in one breath the only
two proposals recently made in the
interest of the smaller and more
isolated depositor of funds. MOI
did the association propose any
substitute of its own. Apparently
the bankers have no especial desire

Hits Republicans Hard

The speeches delivered in Clarke
county last week by Hon. James
Hay, our Congressman, were able
presentations of the Democratic
platform, and we're filled with
scathing criticism of the Republi-
can rule.
Mr.. Hay spoke at White Post on
Thursday night. Millwood on Fri
day night, Berryville Saturday
afternoon, and Pierce's Saturday
night.
lie was greeted by good crowds
at each place, and was given the
closest attention by his auditors.
His speech at Berryville was
heard by an audience which COM
pletely filled the Courthouse. a
large number of ladies occupying
the gallery. and was an especially
able presentation of the Democratic
platform.
He dwelt at length upon the
tariff of protection which has been
fostered by the Republicans-a
tariff which allows the Trusts TO
sell their products from 30 to 80
per cent higher in the United
States than they do in Europe, and
which has built ~ these great
trade combinations to point where
they are direct menace to every
free institution.
Upon the subject Of jury trial in
cases of contempt not committed
In the actual presence of the court.
the speaker said he could conceive
of no fair reason why the Repub-
licans should oppose this measure.
n 1t only carried out the pI DIVISIONS
of the constitution which provided
for fair trial.
On the subject of guaranty of
bank deposits, Mr.. Hay said that
1T was an excellent measure, and
that if passed it would mean the
complete and final annihilatiation
of bank runs" and panics, for the
reason that. if every depositor
knew that his savings were abso-
lutely safe, there would be no
cause for panics and there would
be none.
Ii was an excellent speech in
every, way, and the audience re-
peatedly applauded its strong
points.
Mr.. Hay is quiet, unassuming
man, who makes little pretention
as an orator, but presents his facts
in clear straightforward manner.
SO that anyone can understand
them. \ number of our citizens
who had never before met him
personally were there to meet him
and congratulate him on his excel
lent speech.
MIR. Hay is one of the most sub
tantial and hard-working members
of Congress from this State, and
will be reelected by larger ma
jority than usual.
