G0red bv a Bull.

The a. year-old daughter of Joseph
Suder, who lives on the farm on the
west side of Davis, w. Va, known as
the "Henery," had an experience with
her fathers bull which might have
proved fatal but for the timely arrival
of help. 1t was about the neon hour
when the animal was discovered by
the little girl to have gotten out of the
field and she attempted to drive him
back. The bull became angered and
rushed upon the girl and caught her
between his horns. Thrusting her up
against the board fence he held her
there until the railroad section fore
man who was working aeaIby, came
to the girls rescue When the animal
rushed into the fence the impact was
sufficient to break board in the fence
and hold the girl in such manner as
she was powerless to extricate herself.
She was painfully but not seriously in
Jured, getting off with broken collar
bone, injury to the back and bruises
on the arm.

There has never been such complaint
in Berkeley county as to the condition
Of the county roads. The law enacted
by the late republican legislature is
generally pronounced the greatest fake
ever put upon the statute books. 1t is
clearly in the interest of a few people
who get the money in salaries which
should go on the roads The policy
of the republi san party in West Vir-
ginia has for years been toward Great.
ing offices and increasing salaries and
the new road law is only following
out that idea. The people may drag
out their lives through the mud so the
machine politicians get their salaries
from the pockets of the people. There
have never been SO many officers at
big salaries before in the state and
the roads were neverin such a con-
dition. The wonder is that the voters
have not before votedlthe machine out
of power.

Governor GIasscock, it is said, wi

Governor Glasscock, it Is said, will
appoint commissions within a few
days to draft bills TO be placed before
the next legislature with the idea OF
placing the bills In the hands Of mem
bers long before the meeting of the
solons 80 they may have time to thor
oughly consider them before they are
called upon to act on them. The prin-
cipal bills to be drafted are general
primary election law, county local
option law and law creating public
service commission. From this infor-
m alton these measures will be certain
TO come before the next legislature
and the voters should put the matters
pointedly to the candidates as how
they stand on these matters.

Tie new road law which was to
,medy all our travelling ills is In full
operation. Charles Peter Light, the
distinguished State Road Commits
sioner, has been In office fer year
and relieved the taxpayers Of the state,
by due process Of law, Of several thou
sands dollars with bis numerous
assistants, taking, talking, talking
about the roads, sometimes, but IN ost-
ly about politics and how to strength
en- the hold Of the state machine,
while the roads go unattended to and
the people may get about the best
they can with crippled horses and
broken vehicles incident to the terrible
condition OF the roads The distin-
guished County Road surveyor, L. w.
Wood, has full charge in Berkeley
county draws his salary and builds
political fences for his friends aud the
gang who hold office and run the
county machine and incdently does a
little something for the roads in the
way Of grading clay over roads macad-
imizsd by the last democratic County
court. II ever the people of this state
were humbugged and faxed it was
when the road laws were changed and
the present fake was put into opera
ton. No wonder Jefferson county
begged to be exempted from its opera
tons. She have a fine system of
roads and is still improving them
but not by the help Of the new roads
laws.

There are matters of great import
ance to come before the next state leg
| islature and matters in W hich the peo-
pie of the state should take interest
Now before the primaries are held and
the candidates are nominated is the
time for the people to get in their
work When candidates are standing
OR their own responsibility and with
voters to enquire how they stand and
just what they propose doing if elected
on matters Of Importance to the people
whom they want to represent. When
once they are elected they are the SER
want of the people and they have a
right to represent the people as they
are desired.
The present road law ia shame to
the people and the state aud the peo-
pie ought to know what their repre-
sentative will do with it in the way
Of alterations or amendments. There
is the matter of a general primary
election law which the people of the
state have been so long elamoring for
and which has been promised to them
for so long which promises have been
made for no purpose but TO deceive
them.
Another matter in which the people
are Interested is the question of pro-
hibltion amendment to the state con-
stitulion or county local option law
which will come up at the next meet
Ing of the legislature. 1t would be a
good idea for the voters to write to the
candidates before the primaries come
on and get their answers in writing to
the questions in which the voters are
Interested and be on guard as to ans
wers. Do not let candidates dodge
and If they refuse TO answer you can
put them down as opposed to the
matters which you are demanding OF
waiting for some boss whose collar
they are covertly wearing to tell,them
what to do.
This advise to voters is not intended
for one party only for it is in the inter
est of all the people.
The ratification of the proposed
amendment to the federal constitution
granting the federal government the
power to lay tax on incomes is an
other matter which is of moment to
the people and it too should be put IN
TO the men who are caudidater for the
legislature. The state legislature of
West Virginia have the reputation of
being so susceptible to the money in
terests and it has been put down az
being against the income amendment
and before the primaries are held is
the time TO find out just were candi-
dates stand, Voters should not DELAY
in putting questions to candidates for
the time is short until the primaries
Will be held and candidates NAV
plead want of time to give them the
answers demanded until after the prt-
maries and then it is too late. Act
now,

We wish to call attention to the an
nonneement Of the candidacy of Mr..
William II. Wilson, Of Charlestewn,
for the nomination for Congress, in
another column Of this paper. Mr..
Wilson Is the eldest son Of the late
Hon. William l.. Wilson, who repre-
scented this district in Congress for SO
many years with such distinguished
ability. Mr.. Wilson is of middle age,
married man and stands high in the
community IN which he has lived all
hls life. He ihherlts many Of the traits
of his distinguished father, is a bril-
liant speaker and is we'll htted for
paigning. The question of the tar
iff will lie the all important issue in
the campaign and certainly there is
not a man in the district better quail
fled to discuss this great question than
Mr.. Wilson who had exceptional OPP
portunities for delving into the ques-
tion unGer bis fathers instruction. Be-
ing from our adjoining county we think
Berkeley couaty ought to act favor
ably on the candidacy Of Mr.. Wilson.
