Jail q Dem Of vice.

/, From the revelations SO far made
at the investigation Of the Kanawha
county Jail now in progress, 1t is lit
tile wonder the newspapers there are
united in demanding a moral clean
sup in that city by Increasing the pop
ulation of the penitentiary from that
place.
The first days investigation show
ed that female prisoners were sub
mitted to immoral treatment by not
only male inmates hut also by the
jailer himself and a friend or two OF
his on the outside. One prisoner be.
came fearfully lousy the first night
In, and a Harrison county oftlcial
who visited the institution several
months ago states that the Jail was
alive with vermin then. whiskey
and beer bottles by the wagon load,
1t has been shown at the investiga-
tion, were in the, jail. One wit
ness stated that the basement of the
Jail was full Of such empty bottles.
Other witnesses stated that they saw
men go into women's cells at night,
turn off the lights and remain an
hour.
The evidence disclosed that gamb-
ling went on in the jail, with the
jailer playing with the prisoners for
money, poker being the favorite
game. Another witness swore tina,
whiskey was brought to the jail by
an express wagon. although not UNI
loaded at that place.
So repulsive, II true, is the evil
dence, that decent thinking pepoie
can scarcely conceive how public of.
ficers entrusted with enforcement OF
law and sworn to uphold the peace
and dignity OF the state, could toler-
ate such outrages and disregard 70,

Railroad Risks.

Recent railroad wrecks have elicit
ed the comment that the railroads
the last two years have been neg
lected physically, and are, therefore,
to handle safely the i'm
mense increase in traffic. Railroad
tracks in many sections are said to
be worn and out OF date. More mod
ern should be the material used. It
Is claimed. and, until billion dol
lars at least has been spent in i'm
proving tracks and running gear, a
reasonable degree of safety will not
be assuered. u
Human life is too precious to be
subjected to such hazards. Business
stagnation should not be allowed to
be developed through lack OF trans
portation facilities. Yet. apparent
inability on the part of railroad
companies to meet the demands re,
suits in such peril and stagnation.
Whether remedial legislation can
be had Is question. but the state
and federal governments should moi
shrink from the task OF trying to an,
swer the question.

Go after New Station.

Every one recognizes that all
Clarksburg residents are very busy
with their own affairs, indeed, there
is not buster city to be found.
But, while this is the case, leading
business men should not overlook
proper steps at this time for the flu
ture. The development should not
be for the day only. The future
should be looked into and the city
should prepare for it. Every i'm
provcment TO be had now, II of sub
stantial nature, will assure a greater
future.
Other cities in recent years have
been beneficiaries OF the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company, while
Clarksburg has not fully received n
proper share OF consideration. True,
the railroad company has co-operated
to liberal extent with local manu-
facturers in the matter of railroad
spurs leading to factories and in the
laying of sidetracks, but a pressing
need has been overlooked altogether
save at times. when the press d.
rected attention to 1t but without re,
suit. owing to the fact, recent devel.
opments elsewhere impress, that thu
city itself has not elected to press It:

Only recently it was announced
that Grafton would have moder;

water BOARD and Council.

i .
| Almost every time the city council
| meets there is something that bor-
ders on clash between the two
bodies. This should be eliminated.
1t can be eliminated, IL both bodies
will take the pains to know what the
| other has to do and what each. 9TH
er's powers are. In a case OF doubt,
they should confer. There can be
no question that the council Is the
supreme power in city government.
Yet, by special authority from the
legislature, the water board is doub!
less supreme in some things. At
least that board is warranted in do
ing many things without first obtain
ing permission from the council.
Unseemly clashes between the two
bodies doubtless are sometimes pro.
voked needlessly. The reason is, no
one has any doubt, that there is an
absence of conference and consulta.
tion between the two bodies. They
are not independent OF each other
by any means and both should
awaken to that fact. 1t may ne pe-
meath the dignity OF the city council
to consult the water board, but GER,
ta!nly the council should not treat
the water board as body separate
and apart from the city council nor
should the water board entertain the
idea that it is not under certain
supervision OF the city council, how
ever restricted that supervision may
seem from the special act OF the Leg
islature creating the water board.
There has been enough sparring be-
tween the two bodies. 1t is now
high time that they have a thorough
understanding as to their powers
and what relation they have to one
another and to the public.
1t Is a matter OF serious doubt
whether the council should be dicta.
torial with the water board, and the
doubt is just as serious whether
the board has the right to presume
on the patience and generosity of
the council. There is really no sound
reason why there should be conflict
between the two. If they would meet
on common ground as they should
meet. The people expect it of them,
and the fault should be corrected at
once.

WHY Wall?

Much ado the Charleston Mail Il
trying to make out of the position
taken by the Morgantown Post
Chronicle In Its bitterness over the
fact that Governor Glasscock does
not intend to impose a tax burden
OF many thousands of dollars-some
say 500, 0o0--which an extra SEES.
sion of the legislature would mean.
For some reason not made clear tn,
Mail appears to favor the idea Of
this additional tax and In its own
disappointment finds much solace
in the -misconstruction the Post.
Chronicle makes OF the Republican
state platform.
Evidently, both OF these newspa.
pers are ignorant OF the provisions
OF the state platform, else they
would not lay themselves open to
criticism. However, 1t is quite evi-
dent they know they are misconstru-
ing that platform. else they would
not attempt to resort to TRADES
against the legislative body of the
state and impugn it with dishonesty
and lack of integrity. But. they
need not imagine they are fooling
any one, The platform of the Re-
publican party of this state in the
last campaign was published through
out the state. Everyone had a
chance to read 1t and every one did
read 1t and he who is honest with him
self and his neighbors, does not I'm
dertake to say that it pledged n
production tax on natural gas. The
truth is the subject of a gas tax is
not incorporated in the platform at
all. nor can 1t be implied.
The question of direct primaries,
the Telegram takes it. had little to-
do with the state election. II it
possessed that Importance that some
undertake to attach to it, it is really
up to them to show just how much
influence it had in the election and
to reconcile the failure of previous
Republican legislature to pass it
with tho lack of consideration at the
polls of its alleged Importance.
After the carping critics of the leg
islature have made these explana-
lions in satisfactory manner to the
public. there will be time enough to
turn attention to legislature much
maligned because it does not agree to
rush into session and attempt to en-.
act laws on a subject to which it is
not pledged and of which SO few
know anything about. Perhaps, If
the newspapers, which are holding
out certain things as the Republican
platform would draft such into con-
stitutional matters, If passed, tho
legislature would be quite willing TO
pass them. If that body in its wis.
dom deemed such beneficial legisla.
ton.
In the meantime it borders OH an
archy to impugn the legislature of
West Virginia in the manner the
Mail and the Post-Chronicle desire
and incidentally both reflect on the
integrity of the governor, when they
Intimate that Oil and gas combines
have been potent enough to per.
suade him that an extra session
should not be called.
