Prominent upshur Republican Denouuces
Republican Legislature.

W. b. Nutter, formerly prosecuting
Attorney of Upshur County declares
that the last legislature did not live
up to its promises in that it failed to
submit the prohibition amendment.
in that it failed to pass local option
law; in that it failed to pass an EN-
ployer's Liability.Law whereby man
life would he msde more valuable
than property; in that it failed to pass
laws to safeguard the lives of men and
boys in the mines; in that 1t failed to
pass laws to stimulate and encourage
the State Board of Agriculture to help
the farmer; in that it failed to limit
the number of clerks and other helpers
during a session of the Legislature. Mr..
Nutter says, upon these principles
and declaration of purpose the Re-
publican party appealed TO the people
for help and support in carrying them
out, and was kept in power in the
State, eleeting the entire State ticket,
and a large majority of both houses of
the legislature so that if ever party
had an opportunity to make good here
was the opportunity"
'Did the Legislature make good?
No. Why not?
s'Did Governor Dawson veto the
prohibition amendment The legis-
lature did not pass one. Why not?
They were pledged to do So"
"Did Governor Dawson veto the
local option law? No The legisla-
lature did not pass such law. Why
not? They were pledged to do So"
"Did Governor Dawson veto the

lature never passed such law.
Why not?"
"Did Governor Dawson veto the
law protecting and safeSuar ding the
defenseless and helpless coal miners il
this State The Legislature never pass
ed such law.
Why not?"
"Did Governor Dawson veto that
law Strengthening aud perfecting IL
Tax Laws. No. The Legislature d
not pass any of sufficient importal &c
to justify any such action on his paul
"Did Governor Dawson veto th.
law to encourage the State Board /, {
Agriculture? Nc. The Legislature did
not press any except to appropria c
Sl2,500 of which $1,000 was to hire
Secretary.
"Did Governor Dawson vote that
law to limit to the number of clerks
and attaches down at Charleston, dur
ing the session of the legislature2 They
never passed one.'
ibid Governor Dawson veto that
Direct Primary law about which we
heard SO much during the last cam
paign? The legislature never passed

"The Good Roads law may be all
right, but it is not applicable to the
rough and mountainous sections OF
the State, yet we have it aud under
it our roads will cost us not less than
one half million dollars per year more
than the old laws, every dollar OF
which is raised by direct tax upon the
property of the State except the cal
itation."

Boston Airship Exposition.

Boston.-Boston's airship show, the
first helu in this country and the sec
ond exhibition of it's kind ever held
in the world, opened Wednesday and
attracted great throng. Monoplanes,
biplanes, gliders, flying models and in.
flated balloons show the progress
made in aeronautics to date. The larg-
est airship of the exhibition is bi'
plane of the Wright type, owned by
Frederick p. Schneider of New York,
which has made flights at Morey'S
Park. Another large machine is that
of Lewis G. Erickson of Springfield,

PRESIDENT TAFT
is IMPATIENT
RUFFLED BY DELAY OF CON-
GREss IN PASSING ADMINS
TRATIoN MEASURES.
URGES PROMPT ACTION
CONFERENCE WILL TRY TO FIX
UP THE POSTAL SAVINGS
BANK BILL.

Washington.-In effect President
Taft said to some of the Senate lead
ers whom he called to the White
House Wednesday.
"Why don't you push measures to
redeem party pledges while the House
is dealing with appropriation bills?
You are moving too slowly"
1t is said he exhibited extreme i'm
patience with the degree of progress
thus far made toward the enactment
OF administration bills.
Numerous conferences were held
and at night came the authoritative
announcement that the Senate will act
upon the Presidents suggestions.
The senators were able to announce
the following:
The almost hopeless tangle in which
the Root and Smoot amendments have
ensnarled the postal savings bank bill
will receive attention at a conference
in the rooms of the finance committee,
OF which Senator Aldrich is chairman
When whipped into shape the postal
savings bank bill is to displace the
Alaskan legislative council bill as the
unfinished business, and the latter Is
to be laid aside as involving problems
that cannot be solved at the present
session.
The administration railroad bill is to
be reported from the committee on in
terstate commerce during the next
week and force put behind it to pass
il without material amendment.
The several conservation bills are to
be perfect ID by a special committee OF
western senators appointed by Chair
man Nelson from the membership OF
the committee on public lands. and
these measures are to be reported to
the Senate as rapidly as completed.
The anti-injunction bill is to be con-
sidered by the judiciary committee
next Monday.
Statehood legislation, which already
has been reported from the committee
on territories, is not to be permitted to
lag, and probably will receive atten-
ton as soon as the postal savings bank
bill is out of the way.
This program includes neither the
federal incorporation bill nor ship
subsidy legislation, although the latter
is likely to pass the Senate without
much debate. 1t will meet difficult
hurdles in the House.
Senators Carter, Borah and Bever-
idge carried from the capitol Presi-
dent Taft's views on the delays en-
countered by bills contained in his
program. They reported that there
could be no mistaking the President S
temper.
The postal savings bank bill gave
him the most concern, it was said, be-
cause the opposition that had devel-
oped to such legislation did not ap-
pear to him based on sound principles.

Strike Closes Mines and Mills.

Butte, Mont-All of the big mines
with the exception of six are down
with prospects of a prolonged suspen-
sion. The International Engineers
are standing firm and thus far have
the whip hand of the situation. The
Clark Reduction Works will close
Thursday. All the Clark mines are
down. No encouragement for ameli-
Grafton of conditions is hoped for by
the mine managers. Large forces
were laid off at the Washoe smelter
at Anaconda Wednesday, apparently
in preparation for shutdown

look the oath as a member of the new
Parliament. He was SO weak that mis-
son signed his name.

years old.

CONGRESSMAN HAWLEY
ON WORK OF CONGRESS

Congressman Willis C. Hawley ad-
dressed a fair crowd at the opera
house last evening. The congress-
man spoke in his usual convincing
and argumentative way. He did
not find it necessary to resort to the
usual devices of the campaign orator
but dealt entirely with facts and left
the buncombe to the other fellow.
After assuring his hearers of the
interest he has always taken in the
prosperity of the Grants Pass coun-
try, Mr.. Hawley pledged himself to
do all within his power to have a
federal building located here.
The speaker gave most of his time
to an exposition of the work of the
last session of congress, devoting
special attention to the amendments
to the Hepburn railroad law and to
the Sherman antitrust act.
In discussing the railroad law the
congressman said that he believed in
equal rewards for effort by any one
and for that reason he voted for the
amendments which were designed to
prevent railroads from robbing the
public. At the same time he wished
1t understood that he was not an
enemy of corporations, per Sc. He
pointed out the usefulness and ne.
cessity of organization in almost
every warlk of life. The thing to dc
was to regulate it.
The principal amendments to the
Hepburn act were those that required
railroads to secure the consent OF
the Interstate Commerce commission
before a new rate could be made. al
so the amendment that requires the
consent of the commission before Z
change in classification be made BY
the railroads. Mr. Hawley consider,
the two amendments of great import
ance. One of the chief benefits thar
accrued from them was the stoppinl
of the practice by the railroads o.
making midnight schedules o
which the favored few big shipper!

In discussing the tariff the speak

dule in the tariff at was a matte.
