Many outside people are Interested In
what Marion county Republicans are
going to do. The governor is inter.
ested for he wants a legislature in
harmony with him; the United States
Senators are interested, or ought to
be, for the loss of three votes might
change the majority on joint ballot
in the legislature in favor of the en-.
envy and Democratic United States
Senator be elected. Republicans at
home are interested for the memory
of the days when the Democrats were
in power is green and who can forget
their arrogance and blgotry? Can't
the, Republicans OF Marion strike
some basis Of compromise? Can't we
get together and fight the COMMON
enemy instead of fighting each other:
The West VIrglnlan hopes the time
will come when Republican differences
will be settled and straight line up
against the Democrats can be made.
Who, has n suggestion on this line?

Good Roads.
-.

I Actual figures on the cost Of good
loads, the saving through maintain.
ing such highways. and the loss in
bad roads were given by d. F. Yoak-
uin, one of the leading railroad men
of the country. before the Nadonay
Good Roads convention. Mr., Yoakum
is prominent in the railroad world
not SO much as a juggler OF stocks
but as a practical railroad man. He
estimated that the farmers Of the
country. would have saved two hun
bred and twenty-five million dollars
IL the roads over which they hauled
lroducts had been good roads instead
Of bad. This is quite neat little
sum.
Such an amount, or even ascompar-
atiyely small part Of 1t, would have
built many fine thoroughfares. The
figures prove that good roads pay for
themselves. 1t should be kept in mind
that this loss docs not fall altogether
on the shoulders Of the former. Part
OF 1t, a large jart, must be borne by
the man in the city. The cost TO the
farmer becomes part OF the price OF
the product which tho city man buys.

AS TO IDLE FACTORIES.

II the Times will inquire a little
deeper into the cause of the idle mills
in Ohio county of which 1t speaks 1t
will find that the new tariff law is not
the reason for their idleness. The
mills became idle because of strike
among the men and strikes occur un.
der any kind OF a tariff. However,
they are more likely to occur in good
times than bad. In fact, men arc
afraid to strike when Democratic
laws are in operation for fear they
will starve TO death. Under Republl-
can administration men know they
can get an increase Of wages by strlk-
Ing for the manufacturers must MI
their contracts. Under Democratic
rule working men reel.that 1t is "love's
labor lost" to strike for they know
there will be no increase in wages. in
fact men work at small wages in. or
der TO keep the industries going at all.
So the Times If 1t investigates condl.
lions will have but little to complain
Of in Ohio county even because Of the
silent factories. But why go away
from home for illustrations? How
about the factories in Marion county?
How about the mines In Marion coun-
ty? How about the market for the
farmers products in Marion county?
How about the same things in Harri.

LET US HAVE PEACE.

VI Now that the Democrats have held

Republicans to seek some method of

fore the election will make it abso-

get three members of the House OF
Delegates aud a county commissioner.
1t is a shame that 5000 Republicans
in big county like Marion have to
be thrown into state of chaos ana
disruption by just few men. The
4 great body Of Republicans don't want
the fight over the Fairmont post Office
and the control OF the county execu-
tive committee to disrupt the party,
turn the county court over to the
Democrats for four years and send

spent.weary days and sleepless nights
to uphold. The differences will not

Patching up a platform.

In its mumblings, about pilitical
platforms, the local Democratic press
should not overlook the fact that its
party in this senatorial district rec.
onlzed that it did not have a single
state issue and therefore. decided to
dispense with platform for its sen,
atorial nominee. Even the nominee
feels the disadvantage of this and
has been busy patching up platform
for himself. Thus far he has not
been successful.-Clarksburg Tclc,
