several days ago conveyed directly to 1t

prove more than sufficient to pay all

ARGUMENTS
Heard in the Mason County
Republican Factional
Case.

CHARLESTON. Oct. 4.-The SUI
preme court of appeals, in special ses.
sion has heard the arguments in the
cases of Charles w. Jupling vs.
Charles Buxton. clerk of the county
court Of Mason county. and A. L. Bog
CESS vs.. Charles Buxton.
They are known as the Mason
county political cases and involve the
question of which of the two Republi-
can factions shall be recognized as the
legal Republican party and have a
right to name the ballot commission
ers for the coming election.
William NJ. o. Dawson, George E.
Price and L S. Eehols represented the
dry" or antl-Poerbarger faction,
while B. H. Blagg and j. L. Written
represented she wet" or Poffenbar-
ger faction.
When court convened Judge Pofren-
barger stated that since the case came
from this county, although there was
no moral reason why he could not sill
in the case, he would withdraw from
the bench.
The case was taken under advise
ment and decision ls expected

originate. The best party man is
he who opposes these evils. I never
had any sympathy with the idea that
any party could dictate moral right.
That is mans possession regardless
OF party. The price OF our liberty is
eternal vigilance. The law will
grow deadened If not enforced. and
the law can never be enforced
stronger than the public sentiment
behind 1t.
Judge Dayton here denounced the
rule of mob Law.
Many, men, he continued. default
ers in the big counties of this state,
have gone unwhipped OF Justice be-
c1use grand juries failed to do their
duties. The jurors been induced to
withhold prosecution because limo
cent mothels. wives and children
would suffer because of the wrongs
of the husband or father. But that
is not correct: such action on the
part of grand juries does not protect
these innocent persons because it
simply stands as an encouragement
of further lawbreaking.
Jurisdiction and Duties.
Judge Dayton then defined the dis
tlnction between the duties OF state
and federal grand juries. showing
that the Jurisdiction Of the former is
general and the latter limited. lie
pointed out the classes of offenses
that would come within the jurisdic-
ton of the federal body. such as yio-
lations of the postal, pension. inter
state commerce, counterfeiting and
internal revenue laws. In referring
to the last named class he said about
two-thirds of the cases to he inves-
tigated by the grand jury are caused
by the liquor evil. He took occasion
to repeat that the saloon man is dis
honest because he was in a dishonest
business. AS long as a man is In
dishonest business, society must
brand him as dishonest and a bad
man." said the Judge.

CORPORATIONS SHOULD
KEEP WITHIN THE LAWS
Mr.. Grille VORS
FREE. TEXT BOOKS
And if Elected Will Push a
Bill Of That Kind in the
Legislature.


Attorney Lafayette c. Grille, nomi-
nee for the House of Delegates, al
though quite busily engaged in his
profession, has been devoting part
of his time to his candidacy and is
now arranging to enter upon an
active campaign in the county within
the next few days. He expects to
visit every section OF the county dur
Ing the campaign and will earnestly
and ably advocate the principles OF
the Grand Old Party.
Mr.. Grille has always been in close
touch with the people and has their
confidence. He is an ideal renre-
sentative of the people, a firm be-
lever in and strong advocate of
laws and principles that promote the
general welfare.
Alive 80, all questions affecting the
interests of the people, he stands
ready and willing to cooperate with
them in economic movements that
will accomplish the most good and
reduce the tax burden TO the lowest
minimum consistent with efficient
government.
Among public questions brought to
the attention of Mr.. Grille by a num-
be- OF his friends and other citizens
is one that he regards OF prime i'm
portance in West Virginia, namely.
free text books for public schools.
Mr.. Grille is thoroughly familiar with
the subject and firm believer in It.
Speaking to a Telegram repre-
sentative in connection with his cam
paign, Mr.. Grille stated that the
question of free text books for the
public schools was one of vital i'm
portance in this state. He directed
attention to the splendid results IN
Ohio and Pennsylvania where that
system has prevailed many years to
the entire satisfaction Of the tax
payers and the educators and
patrons of schools. Being thorough
ly conversant with the subject he
gives considerable detail in explain
ing the operation of the law and
how well 1t works to the advantage
OF not only the schools but also to
the taxpayers.
Continuing Mr.. Grille said: "You
may say for me that heartily favor
free school books all over the state
and, II elected to the House of Dele
gates. will introduce a bill with that
end in view. While the idea is not
altogether new in West Virginia, vet
there has been no concerted effort -
establish such system throughout
the state. It is my idea that there
should be uniform law on this
subject and i believe 1t would be
easy to convince the legislature thai
II is tho most economic way yet de.
vised in providing text books. / am
sure 1t has only to be tried in West
Virginia to become popular.
As the state compels the children
TO go to school it is hut fair that
the state should furnish them school
books"

Unlawful Labor Trusts.


terms, they are violating the
That is the foundation of all wealth,
of all society. We have the right to
labor for whom we please and no
set Of men has any right to dictate
how you shall labor or upon what
terms or conditions you shall sell or
dispose of your labor. Whenever
organizations controlling labor say
that some shall have the right to
work and some shall not; that you
shall not operate your mill or fac
tory unles you comply with our
terms. these men are violating the
law and are organizing a trust in
labor.
So, in regard to the saloon, which
l regard as the greatest evil of the
country; the INSCRIPTIONS press that
destroys mems regulations, which /
regard as the second greatest evil;
down through unlawful labor organ
izations to the Individual wrong
doer, we must see that the laws are
obeyed and that all conform to the
right. There is agitation all over
the country against these wrongs
and an awakened moral conscience
that must be needed.
AS to Parties.
There never was a time when a
party man had to be dishonest to be
party man. There never was
time when any party had by the ex-
cesslve use of money or influence to
uphold the saloons, the bawdy
houses and other places whore evils
