With confidence in the princi
pies and policies of the great Re
publican party, We again declare
our allegiance whenever it Is a mat
ter touching those principles and
policies, But in matters non-politi-
cal We congratulate our country on
the tact of growing sentiment OF
individuality and independence.
We deploTe the fact that in these
latter years there is a great wave of
official misconduct sweeping over
our country.
But thanks to the honest, pa
trlotic, loyal, non-ofiice holding
democrats and republicans who
have ever proved themselves equal
to any emergency.
Whether il be in New York or
Chicago, Philadelphia or St. Louis,
San Francisco or Cincinnati, there
are more honest men than dishonest
men-more competent and capable
men than incompetent and incapable
men. Graft gets "cut out.
The long suffering we endure
but fits and prepares us for active
service in rebellion and revolution.
THIS is but the history of our race;
yes, ], of the human kind. Thus
we advance in all that is best. We
congratulate the nation on the sue
cess, present and apparent, of the
Taft administration. We commend
West Virgina's entire delegation
Tor its loyalty and effective activity
in national legislation. But we
especially commend the delegate
from the Fifth district-our own
Jim Hughes-for his successful
fight in interest of West Nirgin1a's
chief industry.
We congratulate all West Vir.
ginians on the cleanness and
efficiency Of the present state re-.
publican administration MucI
praise is due the Hon. William +
Glasscock, our governor.
We greatly regret not to declare,
but the fact that honest convictions
compel us to declare that things at
home, things in Wayne county are
not in fine fx. If not, why not?
Who shall be charged with this
bad state of affairs? Is it bad ?
All thinking Taxpayers without re-
gard TO political views, or religious
beliefs say it is bad. How is it?
1t is like this: We charge it upon
those who are guilty and not those
who aretinnocent. The boast of
Jeffersoniau Democracy has ever
been "honesty and economy" Has
this glory departed from Israel? ?
We suggest, if not departed from
Wayne county the colors are 60
badly faded that the old cloak is
not recognizable by the old guard
With the taxable valuation of
