Gore and the Vice President.

Senator Gore has explained that he
does not OF his own knowledge know
that Vice President Sherman is in
terested In Indian land contracts, but
that he merely quoted Hamon. Moth
ing has been brought out in the trial
to show that Mr.. Sherman had any
connection or interest whatever in
the Indian lands.
Hamon is the man Gore accuses OF
offering him bribe, but Hamon is
the man he quotes to the effect that
the vice president had an interest. It
is pretty serious business to involve
the name Of the vice president of tho
United States in such a bslness. It
should not be done lightly or in the
way OF loose talk. The trouble with
many of those who would make reve-
lations is that they make sensational
statements and charges without the
means of supporting them with facts.

SEEKING A LEADER.

A Fourth district Democrat Of prom.
inence in speaking of the nomination
OF Hon. John W. Davis for congress
ia Few days ago said that it was gen.
orally understood over the state among
gascertain class of Democrats that
Davis was nominated with the hope
that should he be elected he would
become the Democratic Moses of
West Virginia. This Democrat went
on to relate that the Chiltons and
John 7. McGraw were fighting for
( the leadership OF the party but the
+ rank and file of the Democrats want
edSneither the Chiltons nor McGraw.
These look to John w. Davis but
since Davis has declared SO unequiv-
6cally against protection to American
industries, being firm believer in
4 the free trade theories held by his
distinguished father and which have
{ always wrought havoc when an at
tempt has been made 10 put them
into practice, his candidacy has sent
a sort Of chill UP the spine of many
\ protection Democrats who live In the
First district and elsewhere in the
state. There are distinguished Dem
ocrats from this county ut South Side
/ Park this afternoon who disagree
!, most decidedly with Mr.. Davis on his
!. tariff for revenue only and sheep for
mutton only theories. These will not
break their necks to put Mr.. Davis
where his vote might do great injury
to- the mining and manufacturing
interests of this valley. There are
farmers ut South Side Park this AT.
! ternoon who know what happens to
their markets when the mines shut
Y down and factories stop. Mr.. Davis
had a chance to become the Demo.
cratic leader Of the state in case OF
election but his free trade speech at
Weston would queer him even were his
election possibilitl but We hardly
( reckon 1t is, hence Mr.. Davis will get
the fun OF running for congress on q
FREQ trade platform, with the Demo
cratic leadership as side issue, but
the fun of running is all that he will
get out of it,

IHAvlNa ,EM AGAIN.

1t keeps the Times very busy ex-
planning that reducing levy doesn't
reduce a tax bill. That is Democratic
y argument which VIC have heard be-
lore. The Times seems utterly una
BILE to comprehend that the reduc-
tion OF a State levy from 35 to Az
cents amounts to anything. Frankly,
81 We say II; doesn't to a man whose prop
city valuations have increased over
eight times under the new method Of
assessment. Let US take an example.
5 Suppose a man had property valued
] at 1000 and assessed under the old
law at 35 cents on the hundred dol
lars. His State taxes would have
amounted ito $3.50. Now, suppose the
valuation under the new assessment
IS doubled, his State taxes at Az
cents on the hundred dollars will be
80 cents. And the land books show
that the valuations of many farmers
properties and some city properties
We're about doubled under the new as
ssessment. Now, suppose the valuation
were trebled. We have $4,000 on the
books and the State tax at Az cents
on the hundred dollars would be $1.35
cents instead of $3.50 on $1,000 at 35
cents on the hundred. Suppose the
valuation has been quadrupled, and
very few property values were in.
creased so much as that, we still have
a nice saving to the tax payer as S4.-
1000 at Az cents on the hundred dol
lars produces only $3.50 US against
$3.50 under the old law. In order to
come in the neighborhood OF the State
tax under the old law; property valua-
4 lions must have been raised eight
tines Then the $1,000 when raised
v to- $4,000 would produce $500 at Az
cents as compared with $3.50 at 80
cents. We grant the privilege of a
kick on State taxes to any person
I whose property valuations have been
increased eight times by the assessor
!, provided he is willing to make fair
esettlement on back taxes which he
: ought to have paid when his property
u was assessed at only one-eighth Of its
i value while his neighbours was on the
books at one.half. When it is re-
\ r1embered that coal lands and oil
lands, gas properties and railroad
4 lines were on the books at only one
tenth to one-twentieth Of their value
\ in many instances, the tax payers can
see where the kick on the new tax
laws is coming from.

With useless strife. Of blunted WINGS,

When | am nearest happiness?
Across The freedom of the sky
Like dazzling phantom gods you fly,
And seeing you,4my Joy is less.
When sometimes by an April brook
I Beneath the birchon buds kneel,
And, almost turned a dryad, feel
The thrill"of that green life which

Old woodlands that the Hellenes

There sweeps shudder down the

Wild-hearted wonders pierce me
through.
Or when beside the hearth l lie
And listen to the liquid flame,
While one l love most speaks my
name rf
And in that peace my dreams all die.
Then from the shadowHpools beyond
Our small red-circled Joy, there leap
Tall shapes, fantastical as sleep, 3
To call blind my eyes with visions

Enormous, never known on earth
A longing for immortal mirth
That mortal lips may never stain.

WHY NOT BE CONSISTENTLY

Editor West Virginian:
All fair minded people agree that
horses used by our draymen and team
sters as well as the horses OF those
who drive to town from the country
should have water, and that there Is
a strong argument that the proper au.
thorltes of the town should provide
for this need. In view of this ac-
knowledged need, 1t would be interest
esting to know why the watering
trough at corner Of First street and
.Falrmont avenue and the one in front
of the Presbyterian parsonage was
abandoned and removed some years
ago. Why the necessary expense Of q
new tap and trough within one hun
jdred and twenty feet from one re-
Gently abandoned? The one aban-
doned was on what was almost level
ground. The new one is on sloping
ground. and difficult Of approach.
Another pertinent question now
arises. Why is there no supply OF wa.
ter at the corner OF Main and Jeffer-
son street where the drinking foun-
tain stands, thus enabling the poor
farmer" whose horse has now been
provided for to quench his own thirst?
Is 1t more human to. provide for a
horse rather than man? There Is
no denial of the fact that there are
opportunities to get e liquid refresh
ments at other places in town, but not
all the populace have the means and
some do not have the disposition to
visit those places. go #

Ubiquitous Golf.

George Sargent, the golf champion,
said one afternoon at Hyde Manor,
Vermont:
"Golf has become so popular that 1t
is mixed up with everything. You
wouldn't think that golf could have
any relation to taxicabs and music,
would you? But the other day, apro-
pos OF taxicabs, a New York man told
me that all the golf sticks of New
York golf players, he explained, ride
to the ferries in taxicabs, and their
sticks get wry.necked from twisting
round to watch the dimes mount up
on the taximeter. ..ltr
Then. on the way to the next hole,
out talk turned to grand opera, and
the New York man declared that the
other day his baby daughter. taking
up the score of Electra pointed to a
group Of quarter notes and said:
Papa, how does one play those
little golf sticks?" Washington Star.

What Carlisle Has Accomplished.

:
Superintendent Friedman of the
Carlisle Indian School remarks that
30 years have elapsed since the first
group OF 50 Sioux Indians from the
Pine Ridge and Rosebud reservations
of South Dakota arrived at Carlisle,
Pa. to receive the benefit of civil
liked education. Out OF this begin.
ming all elaborate system Of Indian
schools has grown, including 1G7 day
schools, So reservation boarding
schools, and rs non-reservation
schools, so that to-day 25.777 Indian
students are being educated under the
governments immediate patronage, at
a cost for the fiscal year 1909 Of S4,-
00S,S25. The students in the contract
schools and missions swell this total
to 3O,64O. The Carlisle school. the
largest of all, has an enrolment of
1872, which is not much below the
enrolment of Princeton College.
These products of modern civilization
and their educated parents are the
only noble" indians. The noble red
man of traditional lore was usually a
very low-brcd, dirty savage, uninter-
osting except for his bloodthirtlness
and. capacity for rum and mischief.
