THE TIMES UNEARTHs GRAFT

The action Of the democratic Or
gan in attempting to place the ex-
pense of a deputy sheriff's trip to
California to bring back fugitive,
on the county instead of on the
bondsmen, will scarcely meet the APP
prevail OF members of its own party.
Fortunately the affairs of the county
are honestly administered and the
sheriff's office collected a sum from
the bondsmen adequate to cover the
expense before the officer started.
The balance left from the trip was
returned to the men who provided
the funds and they are perfectly sat
isfied; in fact every one is satisfied
except the disgruntled organ which
once more exposes its pitiful weak
ness and shameless attacks to dis
credit republican officials.

1t may be that the South which
furnishes Mr.. Bryan his electoral
votes, will ask nothing at the Denver
Convention. But there may be sur
prises in store for Mr.. Bryan on this
point. Few Southern Democrats ex-
pect to win, but perhaps they will
want to say something about the
methods of losing.

THE TAFT CHR

The Taft club is growing without
any boosting or blare Of trumpets.
At the present time $50 residents
of Shoshone county have enrolled
themselves and An effort will be
made now to get all those interested
in the movement to record their
names. With this end in view,
President A. c. Cogswell has appoint
ed a committee consisting of Angus
Sutherland, Fremont S. Rowe. P. F.
Smith, F. M. Rose, H. c. Topping
and H. e. Howes to extend the op-
pOrtunity to those who have not
signed to get their names on the
roster.
The president has also appointed
an executive committee and has nam
ed as the Wallace representatives.:
first precinct-G. Scott Anderson
and Thomas McCabe; second pre-
cinct-Herman ]. Rossi and C. w.
Gibbs, who will act with the presi-
dent and secretary.
An order has been placed for 1000
Taft buttons and it is expected that
these will soon be seen ON the coat
lapels Of most Of the residents Of
the city.
The executive committee will act
with the city committee in preparing
for the reception and entertainment
of delegates to the state convention
which meets here May IL.

it was lighter than that in the pre-
vious setback, and the recovery has
come much quicker now than it did
then. We see evidence of the re-
newal of business confidence in
many directions. Bank clearings
and railway earnings, although still
far below those of twelve months
ago, are once more increasing
Mills in the Pittsburg and other
manufacturing districts are resum-
ing operations. Wall street takes
a more cheerful look forward, and
stocks, as a consequence, are advan-
cling. March 26, when the doors of
the Knickerbocker Trust Company
will swing open, will be an impor-
tant date mark in the upward turn
in trade.
OF course we have all heard
President Roosevelt and the repub-
lican party blamed for the panic.
Now how about the recovery?
Was there ever, or could there ever
be such prompt recovery under
democratic rule? What is really
shown is that there was no cause for
the panicky feeling which was
largely the result of manipulation by
those opposed to the policy of the
government and the public at large
will 80 regard it.

THE PANIC IS OVER

The Knickerbocker Trust Com
pany of New York is to resume
business on March 26. This an
nouncement has an importance
which may not appear on the sur
face. The Knickerbocker was the
first and the biggest banking insti-
tuition in New York to close its doors
in the recent furry. After run
which exhausted 1000, 600 Of its
cash it suspended. The suspension,
which was telegraphed all over the
country, increased the scare, and
helped to send several banks in
New York and many outside OF
New York down.
October %, when the Knicker-
booker Trust Company closed its
doors, was the beginning Of the PAN
ic of 1907. March 26 1908 will mark
the end of the serious phase of the
disturbance. 1t is noted by every
body who remembers any OF the
previous financial commissions that
this was lighter than any Of them.
As shown by statement OF the
comptroller of the currency,
there were sixteen suspensions or
failures of national banks between
October %, 1907, and DECEMBER 81 -,
as compared with 100 in the same
length Of time after the beginning OF
the panic Of 1893. In the 1898 case
fifty-four Of the wrecked banks never
reopened. The proportion which
have reopened in the present case is
much larger than it was in 1898.
These figures tell the story of the
relative financial solidity of the
country at those two periods. AL.
though the number Of national banks
at the time Of the recent disturbance
was double as great as it was in 1893
the number Of wrecks was only one
tenth as great. The number Of
mercantile and industrial failures
too, has been much smaller recently
than it was in the previous convul.
sion, although twice as many per.
sons were in trade OF one sort and an
other in the closing months Of 1907
as there were in 1898. The blow
which has been dealt to business ir
the past four months was heavy, but

Decoration Day, the attendance at

Any individual club of the league has
no power whatever to lower the

EX- GOVERNOR WHITE
SAYS II IS sNIsAER
Who viii Be Nominated at the
Charleston Convention
for Governor.

PARKERsBURG. June So-Ex-
Governor Albert B. White is in the
city from Charleston for few days.
and a reporter asked him his opinion
about the race between Swisher and
Scherr for the Republican nomination
for governor:
II think know the political situ-
alton in this state about as well as
anybody. The newspaper figures on
the situation are sGertainly confusing
toJthe layman, but are compiled In
most cases either through ignorance
or with the intent to deceive. The
wild guesses and misrepresentation
are much to be delaored.
"As to TIE race between Swisher
and scherr it is. my best judgment
that Mr.. Scherr will not be nomin-
ated. II no new candidates are
sprung and no new conditions arise.
the nomination will go to Mr.. Swisher
by decisive majority. Mr.. swisher
has at present clear majority of all
the delegates TO the Republican State
convention. II requires 44S votes to
nominate and it is highly improbable
that Mr.. Swisher's vote will fall un-
der AIS votes. would not be sur
prised if It reached considerable high
er figures.
THAT is my opinion, anyhow, and 1
am not rainbow chaser. Facts are
facts"

A DECIDED SUCCESS
TETER MAKING
SOME THREATS
Against Members of the State
Republican Executive
Committee.

Special to the Telegram.
BUCKHANNoN, June 3O-Politics
are warming up in Upshur. Charles
F. Teter and Randolph Stalnaker, two
insurgents of B. & o. fame, were in
town today, apparently upon business
but really in the interests of that
King of Insurgents and Chief of
Knockers" Arnold C. Scherr.
Your reporter overheard Mr.. Teter
threaten member of the state execu-
tive committee while in town that
there would be split in the conven-
tion If the Ohio county delegation was
not seated.
Now. how is that for intimidation?
If Mr.. Scherr has the nomination In
his reach now, as Mr.. Teter claims,
why attempt to intimidate the state
committee?
This well known Barbour county
politician is crying around the coun-
try, fearing the state committee will
not act on the square in seating the
various contesting delegations, hence
his threats.
Upshur county is not to be scared
by these, neither is she to be deceiv-
ed by double-playing both of which
have been so frequently. resorted to
in this campaign by the scherr CO.
horts.
The people of Upshur are fo-
Swisher, first, last and all the time.
No room for Scherrites, Teterites or
Knockerites.

recovery in Asheyille. He has writ
ten several friends during the last
few days, telling them all that he
is we'll satisfied with conditions and
that his doctors say it will require
only few months in which to regain
his former good health. His condi-
