Merely Matler Of IBuslness.

The Weston Republican brings out
the fact strongly that businessis in
yolved in the present campaign and
aside from politics 1t is the part
OF business judgment to vote for Mr..
Carrigan for Congress. The Repub-
lican says:
Mr.. Carrigan is well equipped and
should be elected because of what
he represents. His election means
the retention OF an advocate of Re-
publican principles OF the protective
tariff from this district. The cleo
ton OF Mr.. Davis means the return
to the policies of the Wilson-G German
law which was statute of 'perfiidy
and dishonor." because it was near
enough to the free trade mark to
please the radical supporters of that
doctrine, to which Mr.. Davis is said
to be strict adherent, and which he
would certainly support were he a
representative.
The first ten months of the Payne
Aldrich bill has caused, in five kinds

they do not let us see. The money
we pay for these goods is out of cir
culation, in Europe employing
European labor, enriching European
bankers. buying European farm and
manufactured products, paying
European taxes, educating, warming
and clothing European children.
The question of voting for Mr..
Carrigan or Mr.. Davis should be-
merely a matter OF business, and
voters should determine whether
they want to vote to keep a home
market or our farmers, employment
for our labor, and our money for
our bankers or whether we preer

More Hoo,lwinlting.

In black-faced type the Exponent
publishes the following deceptive
declaration in reference to John w
Davis for Congress:
Any man who thinks he will
vote to destroy the protected indus.
tries of the country is lacking ia
common understanding.
The declaration is an imposition
on the intelligence of the people III
view OF the utterances made by Da'
Wis himself in his speeches adyo,
eating free trade and denouncin:
protection as a robbery. 1t is also
in contradiction to the platform
adopted for Davis by the convention
that nominated him.
No one intends to be fooled by thi.
kind of hoodwinking either.

RepubItelns. Beware,

The Weston Republican gives
practical object lesson of what in,
Democratic party would do to tn,
Republican party in this state In thu
matter of re-districting the state fol
ten years, should the coming legts
lature be Democratic and it behoove.
every Republican to beware. The
Republican says:
The most important question with
the Republican voters of West vir.
glnia, and especially of Lewis coun,
", is that of re-distrlcting the state
by the next session of the legisla,
ture. The policy of the Democratic
party is and has been to create dele
gate districts so that one county
with a large Democratic majority
could control one, two and some
times three other counties with
small Republican majorities and
thereby the Republican counties
would be represented by Democrats
instead of Republicans in the legis-
lature, while the policy of the Re-
publican party is to fix the basis OF
representation so that every county
can have at least one representative.
as it should have, and thereby do
away with the unjust and disreputa-
Bile practice of taking advantage OF
honest voters by creating delegate
districts.
Lewis county certainly had her
sad experience with delegate dis
tricts prior to 1900, when she was
controlled and in fact, represented
by Webster county, which at that
time had perhaps, one-half the pop
ulation of Lewis county.
II the Democrats carry the state
and control the next legislature, as
they are making desperate effort
TO 90, Lewis will be attached to Gil
mer, Braxton and Webster as a SEN
atorial district and TO the Demo-
cratic tier of counties from Randolph
to Calhoun as a congressional dis
trict and will remain so for ten
years yet to come. If Lewis county
is placed in Democratic districts as
indicated above it will be because
Republicans fail to go to the polls
and vote the Republican ticket.
This is a time to test Republication
and it has been said that the test is
the voting. Can you stand the test?

Moro About Frec Books.

The following editorial appears in
the Exponent OF this date.
IL. C. Grille, in reply to Labor's
questions, says he will support and
work for all measures specified in
the questions. According to Mr.
Criles advocacy of free school
book law, when, as a matter of fact,
such law was already upon the
statute books it is not out OF order
to inquire whether or not any OF the
measures, mentioned by Labor, are
already laws. Mr., Grille did not APP
pear to know much about the free
book law. How much does he know
about the other laws?"
The law relating TO free text books
as now provided is as follows:
THE board OF education. on the
order of the teacher may at their
discretion purchase out OF the build
ing fund of the district the neces-
sars text books for pupils whose par.
ents are not financially able to pro-
vide them; but such purchase shall
not exceed one dollar in amount per
year, for each child so supplied with
books" tCode Ed. 1906 Sec. 1915

by local shippers and it was pointed
out that the prevailing delivery wa.
from three to eight days. Complain
was also made as to the irregularit,
Oh .local-seryice trains and also
against the uncertainty of delivery
various other defects were also point.
ed out and there was an earnest In.
sistepce that the revenues derived
from clarksburg by the railroad com.
pany justified far better consideration
than is now given.
Superintendent Blazier after hear.
ing the complaints and suggestions
stated that improvements could be and
would be made in the handling of loo
al shipments, but that the blockade
would occur at times as 1t would be
IA physical impossibillty to keep the
yards clear at times. He pointed out
the difficulties arising from low water
and the disastrous effects it had on
the company's motor power. He as
sured the conference members that
every thing possible would be done to
relieve the present situation and hop
ed the change of methods here would
prove beneficial. In addition to the
several tracks to be laid here at once
the freight station will be doubled.
In answer to a rumor the last few
weeks here that the company intended
to use its Short Line right of way on
the south side of Elk creek for a
through passenger train route, the
officials stated that such had been
contemplated and the only thing in
the way of elimination of the plan
would be the expenditure of $75O,OOO.
The remark left the impression that
such line would not be built in the
near future, II at all.
Just what the conference may bring
forth is mere conjecture beyond that
OF temporary relief, but from the
friendly relationship shown between
the company and the local shippers
organization one may infer that every
effort will be exerted by the railroad
company to establish and maintain
ample service, although it may be nee
essary to impress on the company
that Carksburg demands but not ar
bitrarily that expenditure shall be
made here sufficient to meet an ever
growing trade, which is said to be
one-sixteenth of the entire freight
business of the company at this time.

party the eifect upon industry and
production will be disastrous.
This doesnot mean tfiat the Dem
ecratic party! will set out deliberate
lly to smash business and to hing on
depression and disaster. IT. were
foolish to ascribe such motlvesor poll
icy to any respectable politicalt party.
/ Several Developments. neverthe-

adyeFselyito prosperity i
Democratic success at tthe4 polls
will introduce a further feeling of
apprehension and doubt dnto every
branchtof trade, production and
transportation. The first to suffer
the consequent shrinkage in manu-
features will be the workingmen.
Democratic success will mean re-
newed attempt to revise the tariff
upon a purely revenue basis, to
which theory the Democratic party
is committed. Every line of mer.
chandising and manufacturing that
is in any manner affected by the
tariff will either halt or mark time
until this question is settled one way
or the other. That spells depres-
sion.
Then, if the tariff is revised, there
will follow Immediately a revision
of wages downward. This is as sure
as fate. Wages will not only goI
down to what they were before the
Payne-Aldrich bill was passed, or toI
where they were under the Dinglay
bill. but necessarily will seek still
lower level, as they did under the
Wilson bill. And ever more than
that, the danger is that flood of
products will compel shut
ting down of American mills, and
we shall have soup houses and dis
tress.

Old Debt Question.

In a recent speech here James w
Robinson, Democratic nominee for
the House of Delegates, undertook
to brighten his auditors into voting
the Democratic ticket this fall be-
cause of the Virginia debt suit. He
resorted to an attempt to lay the re-
sponsibility for the suit on the Re-
publican party of West Virginia.
The truth is the old Democratic
state of Virginia contracted the
debt, and Democrats are responsible
for the same. West Virginia was
Democratic long time and if po-
litical party in this state is to be
held responsible, the Democratic
party is certainly the one to take
the blame. 1t had many years in
which to adjust the debt, II the
ground is correctly taken that the
question is one for the legislature,
but the Democratic party did moth
ng toward adjustment. The Repub-
ican party never showed any dlspo-
sition to saddle such debt on the
state or to pay any part OF it. But
Democratic Virginia did attempt to
saddle that debt on West Virginia.
Hence, Democracy should be held
to account.
On this subject the following SEN
sible editorial appears in the Graf
ton Sentinel:
Our Democratic friends are using
the Virginia state debt suit as a
campaign argument, claiming that OF
the Republican ticket is elected this
fall that West Virginia will be sure
10 be forced to pay the claim OF the
old mother state against her Off
spring west of the Blue Ridge. The
argument is as silly as 1t is false
n assumption. Every intelligent cit
zen and voter knows that it is not
a legislative question. 1t is one OF
law and can only be settled by the
courts. The Republican party is not
responsible for the debt. 1t was
contracted by the Democratic party
under the old state. West Virginia
received but little benefit of that
debt, and yet the Democrats of this
state are willing that this state be
made liable for the old state debt il
by any such misfortune upon the
taxpayers of this state 1t can he
loaded upon our people. The CASE
IS in the highest court of the land
and will he finally decided by thai
body. The whole question is nov
out OF the hands of tine people o
the state. II such misfortune a
the. laying of the old debt or an!
part OF it on this state should come
about the blame will not rest on TIL,
