Conserving coal Lands,

National conservation is really
much greater than some imagine
from the comments of the seemingly
oyerzealous in the conservation
cause. For instance, the following
editorial from the Parkersburg Dis
patch-News dealing with coal alone
gives an idea of the immensely Of
the conservation movement brought
about by the present and last ma
tional administrations:
Today the plain common people,
the people that Lincoln loved so
well, are richer by nearly ~, 900, 900
acres of coal land than they were
two years ago. This is due to tho
policy of the Republican administra-
ton under which President Taft has
withdrawn from entry that many
acres in ten western states. In
other words, the enormously rich
coal deposits in those states, which
otherwise would have fallen into tho
hands Of individuals and corpora
lions to be forever in the grasp Of
private owners, are hereafter to re-
main in the possession of the federal
government. At the same time the
lands will he settled by farmers and
deyelopd agriculturally.
So far about one-seventh of these
seventy-two million acres has been
appraised by the United States Geo
logical Survey at a valuation reach
ing nearly s450JOOO,OO0. II the re.
naming six-sevenths are as valuable.
here is the enormous total OF
$1,000, 100000 saved to the Ameri-
can people, which otherwise would
have become private or rather cor
porate property. II these lands had
been disposed of under the policy
that formerly prevailed they would
have brought only about one-third
of this sum.
Thus can be seen at glance
some indication of the enormous
value of the wealth of the country
which the conservation policy of the
Republican party, begun under The.
odore Roosevelt, is saving to the
people. In Alaska alone some H.
600 square miles including about
10000 acres of coal land are pre-
served from the grasp of the cor
porations.

be placed in the field. If a respectn-
BILE showing IS to be made.
Zllliken has been permitted to
make an active canvass, while othsra
who are now said to be seeking the
nomination, were undecided as what
to do. Zilliken may have been sent
out merely to be worn out before
the real battle approached, and. If
he receives the nomination, 1t will
not be at the willing hand of many
Democrats, although it may yet de-
yelop that political expedlency will
not permit their showing their hand,
when the time comes.
Doubtless, they are fully aware of
the fact that zilliken plays a better
political game than they suspected
he would play, and being fore-waru-
ed of the trick they would play him,
he may take emergency measures
too strong to be overcome by his
party rivals.
After all 1t is a lot of useless.
chicanery as the nomination will be
but an empty honor.

Recount Failed to Alter Re.
SUBTLE Explains Some
Democratic Methods.

ELKINs, July 1s-samuel T,
Spears, of Elkins, who was defeated
for the Democratic nomination for
the House of Delegates in Randolph
county, by John T. Davis. only son
OF ex-senator Henry G. Davis, this
being the initial appearance OF
young Davis in politics, has issued a
card in which he makes a number Of
interesting statements. Spears de.
manded a recount which did not
materially change the result.
Spears says: My opponent being a
director of the Coal & Coke railway,
under the constitution of West viz
ginia, can not hold seat in the leg
islature, and this being true could
not be the legal nominee of any
party"

Democratic Gagging and Swallowing
So free to comment on Republi-
can primary election or two in this
state. Democratic newspapers in this
section of the state should not SO
jealousy overlook few the Demo-
cratic party has held. Just how
newspapers of their professed con-
science can overlook the recent Dem
+ocratic primary election in Randolph
county has not been explained as yet
and can not be unless 1t be under
the plea that Democrats do no
wrong.
These Democratic Organs" or
play-pieces. are respectfully referred
to Samuel Spears, of Elkins, defeat
ed Democratic candidate for the
House of Delegates, who not only
has contributed lengthy articles
to his home Democratic newspapers
but also is willing to give the Demo-
" etiS HS"SpapSls HeIe luH anu
complete account of the methods
used in the Democratic primary cleo
tion in Randolph county in selecting
a nominee. Mr.. Spears was an
actual eyewitness, and, therefore. it
is not mere hearsay, when he de-
clares in bold type that the Demo-
cratic brethren of Randolph resorted
to Doodle and booze in large quanti-
ties to defeat him, or rather to
nominate his opponent. win the
Democratic newspapers here de-
nounce Mr.. Spears as a liar and say
the Democrats of Randolph county
are without guile?

Rcpnir the CITY Bridges,

Something ought to be done con-
corning the bridges in this city.
While county and city authorities
are disclaiming any obligation 10
keep the bridges in proper repair.
the structures are deteriorating and
are becoming a menace to the lives
and limbs Of the people of the com
muMity.
There is hole in the flooring OF
the Pike street bridge over Elk
creek near the Catholic church that
ought to be mended at once. The
hole is big enough for a horses leg
to go through. Glen Elk bridge has
needed attention for months. The
other bridges in the city are also in
need of repair. If some action is not
taken toward repairing these bridges
soon, some one will be hurt or
killed. Then there will be a grea,
howl OF wrath and justly so. 1t is q
pity the howl cannot be made SO
loud and so long at present that
both city and county authorities
would be shamed into prompt action
owingS&o a recent court decision
the county court, which heretofore
has had control of the bridges in the
city, suddenly refused 10 retain tina
supervision and left the bridges IL
go to wreck and ruin. The city ali,
thorities, not having been vestat
with the authority of taking care o
the bridges, refused TO take any actio:
concerning them. The bridges

graceful and shameful state Of az

seems that the city and county al
The Clarksburg telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1874-1926, 1910-07-21

thcrtles should have sufficient re-
gard for humanity to get together
and devise 4 means OF caring for
the bridges.
While the Telegram is not In po-
eltlon to say positively whether the
city or the county ought to take
charge of the bridges now. on ac-
count Of the pending litigation, it
does question the action of the
county court in relinquishIng control
of the bridges without turning them
over to some one else. If the court
did not know that the city would
not take charge, 1T knows it now.
The court heretofore has had charge
OF the bridges and, in view OF that
fact. 1t ought to resume charge of
them until 1t is finally decided
whether the city or the county ought
to be, responsible for them. II the
court feels hesltancy on account of
the expenditure, 1t ought to weigh
the lives of the people in the other
scale of the balance. The county
body ought to remember, also, that
compensation could be recovered in
the case a supreme court decision
decides that the city should take
charge of the bridges.
The Telegram has no animosity
toward the county cours. This pa
per believes, however, that some
one ought to care for the bridges
as 1t is matter pertaining to the
safety of the people of this commu-
nifty. Security of life and limb con-
one of the fundamental
purposes of our government.

Some Tnrn Information.

As the results of the operation OF
the new tariff laws become known.
many of the objections to it ad-
vanced by the Democratic party and
an element of the Republican party
will disappear. Much has been said
about the new tariffs excluding inn
ports owing to high rates of duty
and that the tariff through duty
rates has caused the increased cost
of living. However, actual statls-
tics do not bear out the contention.
Year in and year out it has been the
Democratic contention that foreign
goods should be admitted free and
the first eleven months OF the new
tariffs operation shows the largest
proportion of free imports in the tar
liz history of the country. 1t may
be true that the new tariff is not
perfect but its operation thus far
tends to show that 1t is overcoming
many of the objections at first ad-
vanced and 1t promises to command
the full respect of the people before
many months.
The following by the Philadelphia
Press gives one an idea of how the
new tariff is operating and the com
parison with other tariffs is quite
impressive:
Under the Payne tariff imports are
larger than ever before. For tho
first II months operation OF the
present tariff, imports are STA
100000 greater in value than in any
II months under and previous tariff.
More imports come in free under the
present tariff than under any tariff
save those that laid no duty on
sugar. In II months, 1914 per
cent of the imports came in free.
This has never been cqualed, save
when sugar was free or the last year
OF the Wilson tariff. when wool and
other articles were imported in an.
ticipation OF a duty.
The portion of imports free under
the Wilson law, was 1852 per cent
the Dingley tariff, the last, it wa.
4l.31. The Payne law admit:
49.14 free. The average duty of til,

Exchange Value of Farm Products

Exchange Value of Farm Products.
A copy OF speech made by United
States Senator Reed Smoot May 81
last in the United States Senate
chamber contains some impressive
statistics on the exchange value Of
farm products. Mr.. Smoot obtained
his statistics from bulletins issued
by the United States Bureau of La
Dor and they may be regarded as
perfectly reliable. He makes COM
PARSONS of farm product prices with
what they were in 1896.
Mr.. smoot says in opening his adj
dress:
while the prices of practically all
commodities have shown some ad-
vance during the last few years, the
products of the farm show a muca
greater advance than do the prices
OF the products OF mines and fac,
tories.
Farm land itself has advanced in
value rapidly and everything pro.
duced on the farm has advanced
materially. The financial condition
of the grain raiser of the Northwest

South, is better than ever before

Superior & Boston was the feature
and sold as low as Sass. recovering be-
fore the close however 10 S6h. There
was no reason for the decline. Inside
buying quickly took care of all cheap
stock and the issue closed in excel
lent demand. A reassuring message
from President Rice now in Globe
helped matters considerably. The New
York market contributed weakness to
the market to the extent of an aver
age decline of close to two points
The weakness in eastern markets also
is without any satisfactory eXplana-
ton. The Boston copper list was again
subjected to considerable selling pres
sure, the liquidation of some weak ac-
counts making matters worse. Short
selling was also in evidence. We do

said that they had no news that could
account for the decline. They inferred
that "a line Of stock was being sold but
said that those who were looking at
ter this estate were shrewd people
and that they could not believe that
they would choose such a market as
the present one for the liquidation of
the shares. Another report came from
outside sources and was 90 the effect
that a recent examination by r. III.
