LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
The Unbalanced Wave.
be Hditor of The Aee-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 As reader of your paper I have noted your generous views editorialy, that they are along sane lines and have admired your frankness in dealing with questions of public concern. do not pose as an au- thority nor as a prophet in foretelling with accuracy the effect of this radical sentimental, unbalanced wave under which our state is submerged at present I know this much that when a man Is chasing fantasy and declares in public that if his views are a delusion, and if they do call him fanatic he glories in public trust; his horizon is no broader than straight line-the farther he looks the more diminutive it becomes.
 Some are already heralding the signal victory of Conner and advancing the argument that church and state could now amalgamate and their relations be one of equinamity, which is in absolute contradiction of all past record and would mean the undoing of all that this country has gloriously attained up to the present. What Joshua has come to save the nation!
 When Carmichael said the church would run the state he voiced a sentiment that is gradually taking root, which has been evidenced since this legislature. became clay in the hands of the potter. The subject is far-reaching, and its i'll result so apparent that a man who can see through ladder on clear day cannot col1. cratic party is to foster such doctrine and our legislature transform Into an ec- clesiastical court, forgetting the tradi- tions of her fathers, then 1t is time to unoosen her shackles and become free men.

All the details of President
RoOsevelt's departure from Wash
ington have been arranged. He
will, as is customary, ride with
the President-elect to the Capt.
tol and there witness the inaug-
uration ceremonies, and perhaps
attract as much attention as his
successor, but he will not return
from the Capitol to the White
House. In this respect he will
depart from an old precedent.
He will as a private citizen drive
from the Capitol Immediately to
the Union Station and take a
train for Oyster Bay. After a
few weeks preparation at Oyster
Bay, his home, he will set sail
for Africa where he will hunt
big game for a year.

The Ellettson Carver Co OF
Parkersburg, went into bankruptcy
last week. This company has been
engnged fer number of years in
general printing and book binding
business. It's liabilities were est.
mated at forty thousand dollars
One of the measures which is
being pushed through the legis-
lature is to relieve the county
courts of the necessity of pub
fishing the financial statement
each year. If the bill becomes a
law it will open up the way again
for all kinds of graft by with
holding from the public the ex-
penditures of the county officials.
Take away the beacon light of
publicity and What chance would
taxpayers have to know what is
done with the funds? The mat
ter of publicity is our only safe
guard and should be increased
more and more.

Senator Bob Kidd made q
rafting fine speech in the
Senate one day last week,
favoring a county unit local
option bill. He pointed out
that the people of the state
are in no humor to be trihed
with, and that it would not
be wise for this Legislature
to attempt to meet the over
whelming temperance senti-
ment of the state with a To-
cal option bill which is only
a subterfuge. Our Senators
we believe, will always be
found on the right side of
important questions.

The Craig bill, which is
likely to becomea law, pro-
vides that the counties may
vote on local option, and if
within any county there is a
city of 1000 or more, whose
council is vested with au-
thority to grant license, IN
which a majority of the votes
cast at the election are in
favor of license, then license
within the CITY may be grant
