Party Pledges
Being Kept

postal savings bank bill are two
measures in the interest of the people
that are alone sufficient to ask for
and to warrant the continuance OF
the Republican party in power.
There has been good deal of
criticism of the Payne-Aldrich tariff
bill. 1t is not perfect, because the
information of those who made 1T
was not sufficient; but it protects
American industries and American
workmen, and who will say that ii IS
not better than free trade? 1t pro-
vides for tariff commission and
that feature alone makes it the best
tariff bill ever enacted. The com
mission will ascertain the difference
OF costs Of production in this coun-
try and abroad and will recommend
It's finding to Congress, and any mis-
takes in the Payne Aldrich tariff bill
can be intelligently corrected by a
Republican Congress.
AS President Taft has insisted on
the fulfllment of national party
pledges. 50 has Governor Glasscock
insisted on the fulfilling OF state
party pledges. 1t would, Indeed be
9 calamity TO forsake our Governor
IN his fight at this morent when vic
tory seems in sight.
The Republican party in West
virginia is the only party that has
ACCOMPLISHED anything worth while.
It Is the only party that promises
anything in the future. ut may he
trusted TO eventually redeem every
pledge.
We are charged by our Demo
cratic friends with extravaganza. We
ask them to partlcularlize. True, we
are spending more money than under
Democratic administrations. but the
people are getting more for their
money As an Illustration: under
Democratic rule our school system.

was poor. Boys and girls in the
country in many counties had only
from three to four months school.
Teachers we're poorly paid and con
seQuently lily prepared for their
work. u2der Republican admins
tration fine modern school houses
have taken the place of the old log
school houses, the minimum school
term throughout the state is six
months, and teachers are paid two
and three times as much as under
Democratic administrations. l be-
lieve that the people are demanding
more of this kind of extravaganza.
Yet, with all the improvements and
lettering of conditions under Repub-
lican rule, the small Taxpayers
taxes have not been increased. We
have saved hundreds OF thousands of
dollars TO the people by cutting off
the fees of certain state and county
officials, and have made the corpora
lions doing business in our state pay
their fair proportion of taxes. The
Republican party in West Virginia
has stood for fair and equitable tax
alton; for Improvements and better
ing of conditions. 1t has recognized
the rights of the poor man as well as
the rich man. 1t believes in being
fair to both capital and labor. It
stands for economy, but at the same
time it would not go back to Demo-
cratic days of the log school house.
It believes the poor boy is entitled to
an education the same as the rich
hoy"

Mr.. Eilley here interposed TO such
effect that Craighead was fined, ex-
PEELED and set free. Mr.. Filley's mas
terly address was based on the law
laid down by Craighead, reference to
which finally evoked a smile from the
justices. In a week an injunction was
issued as prayed. The airships of the
whole nation were tied up; the Uni

Jus legal strategy had ever known;
Carson stood high in finance and diplo-
macy; the factories for manufactur-
ing flying machines were offered to
him at his own terms, payable in Car

men were put to work on the Carson
aeronefs; the Waddy family began to
occupy space in newspapers and mag
azines: the world OF finance whirled
about and readjusted itself to the ex-
plosion-all of which took time.
And in the midst of the first excite.
ment the following item appeared in a
newspaper:
A bizarre result of the McFadden deci-
sion is the Narrowing Of Mr. Finley
Shayne, erstwhile prince OF the powers OF
the air, at Shaynss Hold, where the Roc
was enjoined. There is no egress from
the hold save by alrship. The Carson
crowd has the air rights surrounding the
mountain, and Mr.. shayne and his fam.
lily have no means Of getting away except
by violating the. tnjunctions.

Virginia was thinking of the victory

courtship.
