The owner of the Statesman Demo
rat has never received the slightest
favor from the Martinsburg Power
Company, he has always paid their
bills for light and power whenever
they have been presented and cense-
qucn tly he is under no obligations to
he company. Neither is he under
any obligati ons to the Winchester
and Washington City Railway Com
pany for any favors for he has never
asked for any and none have ben Of
fered 2ratuitously. Hence we may con-
slider ourselves a competent witness in
the matter of the application for q
francl Use by the latter company. The
Statesman Democrat stands for prog
ress and the building up of the city in
all its material interests. If the grant
ing of franchise will be for the better
m eat of Martinsburg then you may
depend upon it we will be for the fran =
chise. II seems to the unbiased mind
that IT would be to the interest of the
town To have tive power companies
rather than one.

1t looks now as if there will be
walkoVer for the democrats nj the
coming congressional election this fall &.
The issue will clearly be the tariff.
The democratic position on the tariff
is the correct one and is the one whish
the people endorse and are cIamoring
for today. For the democratic party
has been hounderiDg about catching at
this al d that straw for the past eigh-
teen years without any real issue in
which the people would take any stock
neglecting the very issue which they
have gained every victory they have
ever wen, the tariff. This year the peo-
pie have Just forced the democracy to
take up the tariff aud if the party does
not tote fair OH the issue the people
VIII turn to any one that will. If the
party wants to win 1t mast make a
straight fight in the intsre't of the
people and they will be heartily enGors
ed'by the people. For many years the
sophistry Of the republicans that the
foreigner paid the tax and that the
tariff was a protection for the lsooring
mensucceeded and for the Fast few years
the republicans have been foollng the
people by false promises, promising "a
revise the tarifr in the int rests Of the
people and whom they get in and have
chance TO revise the tar iff they have
invariably revised in the interest Of [ s
monspelies and trusts. The voter.
have become Disguised with the old
fraud, the republican party, and they
will vote in the democrats if they
prove themselves worthy.

Though he has been outside of the
pail of civilization for year Teddy
proceeds TO exercise his old tricks as
soon as he gets from the confines of
the jungle. He managed to stir things
in Egypt, the first touch of civilization
for him and as soon as he retched the
next point, Italy he stirs up a mess
among the Methodists and the Catho-
lies. We may expect him to leave a
trail of discori and trouble as he pro-
ceeds through Europe, he will be apt
to agitate even the waters of the At
lantic as he plows his way homeward
over the briny deep and when he strikes
the shores of the American continent
shock which will make the big pile
of granite and marble on Capitol hill
shake from the foundation to the
crown on the GODDESS of Liberty.

Senator Scott has sent his check to
the republican county committee Of
Monongalis county to pay for putting
his name on the ballot at the coming
republican primary election in that
county. One hundred for each county
would take more than IS 900 for pri.
Inary election only and that would be
but a bare beginning for Scott knows
the appetite of the average republican
legislator is not a delicate one and
If it takes one hundred dollars to get
them to Charleston it will take a good
many times that amount to keep
them straight after they get there.
Mr.. Scott Is now trying to get back to
the U. 3. Senate for the salary. He is
after another thing altogether. he
the representative OF the corporations
and trusts which take care Of him
in just the same proportion that he
takes care of their interests.

The old combination of Me, Alex
and Ed has been broken and if the
rank and file can succeed III keeping it
broken perhaps somebody else may
get sbyre of the loaves and fishes.
The triumvsrate has leng been the
center of the organization of the re-
publican party in this county and
when it came to dividing the spolIs
they very graciously took the lions
share. What they could not consume
they generously bestowed on those OF
pend on when they needed them again
They have been the "see me first" and
the fellow who presumed to assert HIM
self was promptly punished and put
to silence. These gentleman until this
year managed to never permit their
ambitions to interfere with each other.
They were all feeding from the crib but
Ed concluded that he was not getting
hi, share and 30 sailed in for Alex lob
and Me decided that Alex had had a
federal job long enough and endorsed
an outsider. Thus the trium verate was
dissolved, each with seperste aim.
Ed has the job of postmas er and says
that he has no i'll feeling certainly
they will forgive him for taking the
pie and every body will be happy.
They will all fall in line and help Ed
get thedelagates from Berkeley county
for Mr.. Sturgiss, perhaps, ana then
Mr.. Sturgiss will also be happy.

The election for corporation officers
is drawing near The democratic organi-
ization which has had charge of the
municipality for some years has put its
ticket in the field. 1t is composed of
good business men, capable, honest
and pledged to the people to give them
good government. During the period
which the democracy has had charge
of the city tie town has made more
progress than all the preceding year of
its eXistanee. The splendid new water
works, the price of all our people, and
fine eNpanSe of paved streets, to say
nothing Of the greatly improved con-
dition Of our city finances, all belong
10 the democratic party and splendid
men which it has kept in as council
and mayor The town has received all
these Improvements and without the
slightest increase of levy. Certainly
there can be no reason for turning out
faithful and efficient servants and
going back to the old order Of things.

Clifford Pinchot, the disposed foris-
ter, has been there. He started for
Europe as soon as he heard that his
friend and champion, Teddy, had re-
turne ed to civilization. He met the boss
and had his say and came away smile
ing and happy. This wi ii havsa ten
dancy, at least, to make Taft unes sy.
Pinchot has long been a pet of Roose-
welt and has probably filled the old
man with the earnest desire to make
trouble for Taft.
