HOW THE STATE
OF WEST VIRGINIA WAS MADE. GREAT
EST CONTRIBUTION OF THE STATE.

Last December Hon. William G.
c ,nley, attorney general of the
State, desiring that all possible in
f .matio. regarding the history of
the Restored Government of Virgin
ia and the Formation, should be
readily available in connection with
the Virginia debt icase, requested
Hon. Virgil a. Lewis State Histori-
and Archivist, to collate, for publ
cation in book form, the desired da-
ia on the subjects mentioned. This
work has been done by the Historian
and the work published in a volume
of S47 pages. 1t reviews the Action
of Virginia in IS6o-6l; the move
ments in northwestern Virginia in
these years; contains the Proceedings
of the First Convention of the People
of Northwestern Virginia at Wheel
ing, in May 1861: the Journals of
the Second Wheeling Convention in
June ensuing which body reorganiz-
ed the Restored Government Of Vir-
GINA; the whole followed by events
occurring in the History OF West
Virginia from the adjournment of the
last convention to the admission of
the State, June 20, 1868. The
work is history fully, dealing as it
does with events as they occurred
without the slightest bias or preju-
dice which existed 1T the time when
the events treated were transpiring.
All who have read the work declare
it to be the most important contri-
button ever made to the history Of
the State. The following letter re
ceived by Mr.. Lewis, the historian.
from Judge Brannon, of the Supreme
Court of Appeals, is an expression Of
this:
Weston, W. Va, May %, 1910.
Hon. Nirril A. Lewis.
State Historian and Archivist:
Having read, with deep interest,
your late book under the title Of,
How West Virginia Was Made, am
moved to express my warm com
mendation of it. Reading its early
pages recalling the dread period of
early 1861, covering Virginia. Sc
ccSsion from the Union, and the
opening Of the great Civil War,
which drenched her soil with blood
and filed it with graves, brings tears
to the eyes ofthose whose years take
them back to those days Of wrath.
Where else shall we find that his
tory, 50 important yet pathetic, to
both Virginia and West virginia:
The priceless official records of the
Restored Government Of Virginia,
which gave birth to West Virginia,
once in the custody Of Judge Gran
mer, were destroyed by the waters
Of the Ohio river in the unprece-
denied food Of February, 1884.
The records ofthosc memorable days
have been substantially restored by
your toll and research in your book,
now valuable, invaluable in the
future. There they are perpetual.
Those gone days and their events
and memories. Haec olim memin-

The republican cry Of democratic
extravaganza in Oklahoma has sud
denly hushed. From the closing hours
Of the Cannon congress comes a story
Of profigatc waste that shames the
cheek Of every republican. The fig
ures Of republican Tawny show that
q new record for appropriations has
inst been made by republican con-
gress. In spits OF the existence of a
growing treasury deficit congress has
authorized and appropriated s1,O54,-

was appropriated by the preceding
coneress. It is twice as much ap-
nroximateIy, as was appropriated ID

tion, II is far greater than any ap oro-
priation made in any year of the LIN

THAT DELINQUENT TAX LIST.

I
Il isn't often that the Express feels
called upon TO reply to attacks on it
made BY its envious contemporary, but
an article in the Morning Journal Of
Sunday is SO full Of faIsehood and
misleading statements that it cannot
be allowed to go unnoticed.
The direct falsehoods in the article
are three in number and the general
import of the whole Of 1t is entirely
misleading,
It is asserted that the county com
missioners paid the Express ST 900 for
publishing four-page list of delin-
quent taxes. AS a matter Of fact there
We're tenfuII pages, and iw It had been
set in the ordinary type used in this
paper It would have made at least
ffteen pages.
Direct falsehood No. 2 is the state
ment that the list was published two
weeks when the truth is that 1t ap-
peared in three consecutive isspes.
Direct falsehood No. is the state
ment the bill as originally rendered
was for $3.50, but even the commits
sioners wouldn't stand for SO much, SO
they cut it down $3.50 The record
will show that the bill as originally
rendered was for $1,000, the county
being voluntarily given a discount Of
about $3.50 from the face Of the bill,
which showed the exact amount due
according to law.
With these inaccuracies In the ar
ticle pointed out the reader will be
prepared to understand that the rest
Of it is equally as misleading. Here
are the facts in the case:
The law provides that the county
treasurer shall publish list Of prop
erty on which taxes are delinquent.
II provides that he shall add to the
penalties on such property 10 cents
for every city lot and 25 cents for ev-
cry piece of land to pay for the cost
Of the advertisement The printers
fee is fixed by law just the same as
fees and salaries Of county officers are
fixed. We are not saying whether the
law allows too much or too little. Ii
is the same provision that has been on
the statutes Of Oklahoma for years. II |
WAS passed by a republican legisls-
ture and has never been changed. It !
may be noted, however, that the fee
is no greater than an individual
would be charged. The amount of the
charges being fixed by law, the COM
missioners had no option as TO allow
ing the bill, any more than they would
have to allowing fees fixed by law for
certain county officers. This law ap-
plies to the whole state and as there
has been no kick on ii either in demo
cratic Or republican counties, 1t is to
be presumed that the fees allowed are
ust and reasonable.
The law authorizes the county com.
nissioners to name an official paper
or the publication Of commissioners
proceedings ana for all other publ.
atlons required BY law. IN demo. I

passed over the other range of noun
tains that divides Italy from that COun-
/ try. Travelling here was difficult, but
We had but little trouble. Through Aus
/ tTia the roads were especially good. Our
| trip through Germany was one of the
most pleasant features of the journey.
| We travelled for miles along the Rhine
and visited all of the old historic spots.
| From Berlin we went TO Paris, where
the car was shipped across the channel
into England. We made most of the
principal towns of England and Scot
land. From New York to Salt Lake
; the trip took a little less than thirteen
days.
Travelling in Europe with automobiles
is one Of the most pleasant ways of
spending vacations. The trip was one
of the grandest events in the history of
my life. The roads all through Europe
are perfect. For six hundred miles one
can travel along the Mediterranean
without losing sight of the sea during
any of the distance, with roads as
smooth as glass"
Essentials of a Driver.
In speaking of the essentials for the
making of a good driver, Mr. Potter
said: There are plenty of people in
Salt Lake who know how to drive a car
but that is the least important matter
Of all. The essential in the making of
good driver is the knowing how to
take care of car. Most drivers in Salt
Lake, when something is wrong with
their cars, will Immediately call up the
garage and want a repair man right
away. The chances are that some lit
tie detail about the car is wrong, and
knowledge Of the machine would do
away with the necessity of running to
the garage. A good driver should know
the car he is driving absolutely. First.
he should make a careful study of the
parts and see how they are put to-
gether.
THE care of the tires is an important
matter, and no good driver viii over
look this feature. The brakes should be
used only when absolutely necessary.
and the principle used in the riding of
bicycle should be carried out in the
use of a machine. The auto driver
should always Keep a lookout ahead on
the road to avoid stones and boards and
other distractions that mean sure
death TO the tire. Economy is an i'm
pOrtant feature to good driving. A good
driver should always have this in mind.
Gas should never be used on coming
down an incline. Around this section
Oh the country especially much gasoline
expense can be saved by a careful
driver Proper oiling is one of the fea-
lures. If a driver hears his machine
creaking he should get out at once to
look for the squeak. This will Iengthen
the life of the auto materially"
Frank Irving is one of Salt Lakes
best drivers. For five years Mr. Irving
drove a car through Nevada and the
surrounding territory, and he has been
in Salt Lake for the past year. 1t is
said that Mr.. Irving knows as much
about the average auto as any one in
the city.
/. S. Moore, who drove President Taft
through the city during his recent visit
here, is another who claims honors as
being among the best in the business.
For the past seven years he has been
driving cars throughout the city, and
his knowledge of a car and its work
ings is about perfect.
