Martinsburg statesman-democrat. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1906-1921, 1909-05-14

The trite saying that you must so
away from home to get the home news
was verified by a recent article pub
lished in the Washington Herald and
other metropolitan papers, sent out by
the newspaper correspondent, Mr..
Charles Brooks Smith. of Parkers-
burg. The article was especially in
eresting to us inasmuch as the writ
er has us slated for grand flop over
to the republican party with the
Statesman Democrat, at least he says
so by inference. He states that a
democratic paper in Martlnsburg will
soon flop and as the Statesman Dem
ocrat is the only democratic paper
IN the county, we suppose we must
go.
The writer gets off another story
almost as absurd as the above in that
he states that Commissioner George
NJ. Bowers will relinguish his hold
as the, leader OF the republican party
in this county and retire to perma-
nent domicil within the confines of
the District of Columbia. Imagine, if
you can imagine such thing as Geo.
Bowers going out of politics. TO CON
sign him to the ennui of official life,
even though is carried big sala-
ry, and deprive him at the diversion
so necessary TO his comfort and We
might almost say physical health, OF
running a campaign over and anon
for his uncle Steve, would be unjust
punishment for him. When Bowers
goes ont of politics it will be when
there are no more good plums to shake
when Stephen B. Elkins has made up
his mind to let some little republican
in West Virginia have his job, for
Steve and George are more enc that
man and wife. Steve needs George
and George needs Steve and hence
they have found it profitable to form
a mutual political benefit society with
just two members and they are Me
and Steve.
This matter which concerns ms mos
is to tel how We are 20 so Suddenly
convert the sixteen hundred demo
Gratis lim Berkeley county who are sub
scribers to the Statesman-Democra'
when we are due to flop. To undo al
that we haze been building these las
twenty years in so short time ant
to hand over the democratic party o
the county II more of a task that W.
think any ore nan con do or severa
hundrs men fer that, so in spite .
the decreeinf Mr.. Smith we shall sta,
with the dSmocrats OF Berkeley eonn
ty and we will go on fighting the oil
enemy, asgof ycre. We have no doub
that there are pastures fair ana gree
on the other side Of the political fenc
but VIC have never been able TO max
a sacrifice OF principal FOR graz
greed and gain.

you are stalwart republicans and stand
for the republican doctrine OF protec'

justice. Can you not support the rate
on newsprint which was recommend

by the House of Representatives, to
investigate the paper trust, and con-
firmed by the Ways and Means COM
