The new mouthpiece of the Demo
cratic organization here decries the
fact that several Clarksburg indus
tries obtained tariff schedules from
Congress which enables them to OPP
crate successfully and give their
workmen good wages. 1t refers to
such Industries as overfed.
In view of the fact that it has
shown its hand SO plainly as this in
its opposition to fair wage for la
boring men. such as the glasswork-
ers. tin plate workers and others, It
is no longer necessary to ask the
Democratic nominee just how much,
If any. tariff he would favor on West

They say he would take it all OF rs

trade. Enough has been said. The
manufacturer and laboring man now
thoroughly understand his attitude.

NEAR GUsHER
IS DRILLED IN
BY the South Penn on the
Rector Farm in Silinns-
ton Field.

The territory OF the southern cage
of the shinnston oil pool Is furnish
ing larger producers than any other
part OF the lower southwest. AS an
aftermath to the gushers that made
the shinnston district the stellar at
traction in its early development the
southern, eastern and southeastern
extensions are proving very salts
factory discoveries to the few who
secured holdings In that section, at
one time thought to be out of the
producing limits of the pool.
The latest and best strike in the
southern extension, is the South
Penn OIL Company's No. 4 on the n.
A. Rector farm, drilled in last
Thursday and at 80 feet in the fEty-
foot sand. It produced $50 barrels
the first twenty-four hours and in
two days 672 barrels. The location
is 400 feet south of of Parrish.
Groves & Company's No. on the
Thompson heirs farm, which came
in a week ago and is now producing
200 barrels day. The near-gusher
on the Rector farm is the largest
we'll drilled in since the swiger and
WhIteman farm gushers of last year.
In the same part OF the develop
ment located 500 feet east of the
No. 4 on the Thompson heirs farm,
the South Penn OIL Company has re-
covered the tools lost in its No. 3 on
the j. R. shreeves farm and is now
drilling at SO feet in the sand and
should get the pay today. This is re-
garded a gilt-edged location and
should make good producer. G. e.

the bit lost in No. 5. on the Nuzum
farm and it is now drilling at 90
feet in the sand, and should get the

WEST VIRGINIA
r
BANANAS RIPE
The Lucious Paw-Paw is
Now Ready for the
Market.

The paw-paw, a fruit found only in
this section OF the country and known
many places as the West Virginia ba-
mana. is ripe and ready for gathering.
That is. the early variety. There are
several varieties of paw-paws as we'll
as of other fruits and the early kind
is now ripe.
The youngsters In this section are

+; baskets loaded down with the sweet
fruit. They then proceed to eat paw
paws unit ltheya r eready to burst
Some people can not eat paw-paws
because they are too sweet. but there
are very few West Virginia kids that
cannot eat and enjoy the fruit.
The youngsters are not the only
ones that eat paw-paws. as many a
bushel is shipped from this state to
cities where they are sold at high
prices in the fruit stands. On account
of their spelling too quick paw-paws
cannot be shipped any great distance
and they are never heard of In places
a great distance from here.
The best paw-paws are not ripe un-
til after frost has put in its appear
ance. This variety is the black paw
paw and Is priced more than the early
fruit. There will be paw-paws on the
market here from now on until the
early part of November.
The kids around here not only en-
Joy the fruit but they save the seeds
and use them in games much the
same as they would marbles. The
seeds are of fiat oval shape and are
black aud very hard They are sort
of a currency in the kid world of this
vicinity during the season of paw
pa We.
Paw-paw patches are very plentiful
in these parts. Nearly every hill
around here has its paw-paw patch
and one of the produest possessions of
any active boy here is to know where
the best patches OF paw-paws may be
found.

our Neighbor and DolIiver.

One of the kilograms neighbors
has been very free to quote
Senator Dolliver on the tariff ques-
ton, with an effort to make it appear
that Senator Deliver bitterly OPP
poses the Taft administration on this
question and with additional effort
to justify the Democratic party in
this district for again resurrectinE
free trade as it's platform. However,
since Saturday the neighbor has not
been so free to speak of Dolliver,
nor is the neighbor saying much
these days along the line of agree
ing with Colonel Roosevelt.
The kilograms neighbor urned
out the lights and shed copious tears
over its fallen idols, after Colonel
Roosevelt with the approval and in
the presence of Senator Dolliver en-
dorsed President Taft's tariff~com-
mission suggestions and commended
him for his agreements with foreign
countries on the tariff.
There will be nothing moro said
by the kilograms neighbor about
Senator Delivers position being
helpful TO Democrats. And, Senator
Dolllver's approval OF what Colonel
Roosevelt said bears out the Tele-
grams assertion that were Senator
DOLL YER to be consulted, he would
advise the people OF this district to
elect Charles e. Carrigan to Corr
gress as they intend to do and he
would make 1T emphatically under
stood that the election OF John w.
Davis, the free trader. would be a
calamity to the district.

Admits Il?

I. The Democratic press points out
that the tin plate mills Of the counT
try manage to struggle along and
make a little money under the pres
ent tariff, thereby admitting at last
what the Telegram has commended all
the time that were the tariR taken
on they would have to close down /.
Even fool can see that If it takes

deed. to make ends meet.
With the tariff on. therefore. as
the Democratic press admits, tin
plate mills could not make any
money and hence they would close
down and thousands of men woull
he idle. That is the condition the
Democrats of this congressional dis
trict have pledged John w. Davis to
bring about, If he can, in case he
should be elected.

Rooseyelt on tlle Karin.

Col Theodore Roosevelt gave the
democratic free trade politicians a
solar plexus- In his speech at Sioux
Fans Saturday, when he told what
he thought of the tariff. No better
idea of how Colonel Roosevelt stands
on the tariff can be given than by his
own utterances as follows:
whenever men just like ourselves
Probably not much better and GER
tainiy no continually fail to
give US the results VIC have a right
to expect from their efforts we may
Just as well make up our minds that
the faultzIfes not in their personality,
but in the conditions under which
they work, and profit comes not from
denouncing them, but in seeing that
the conditions are changed.
This is especially true of tariff
making. 1t has been conclusively
shown by experiments repeated
again and again that the methods
OF tariR making by Congress which
have now obtained for SO many
years cannot from the very nature
OF the case bring real satisfactory
results.

on which it was made, the same sys-
TEN on which Its predecessors were
made, encourage a scramble of sell
hsh interests. to which the all inn
portant general interest OF the public
is necessarily more or less subor-
dinated. There was time when the
scramble was regarded as the ma
tilral course In tariff making and
was not resented. Now the people
demand, and rightly, that the profit
OF the special Interests shall be SUI
bordinated to the general welfare in
every case. It is this attitude of the
people which must he met in deal

The American public wants the

the capacity to. enjoy it. and to do
this we must see that his wages are
not lowered by improper competition
with inferior wageworkers abroad

poorly and who live as no Americans
are willing to live. But the Ameri-
can public does not wish to see the
tariff SO arranged as to benefit prl-

ment of its end in view we have as
yet devised nothing in any way as eff

There should be a commission of
wen paid experts, men who should
not represent any industry. who
should be masters of their subjects,
OF the very highest character and
who should approach the matter
with absolute disregard OF every out
side consideration.
These men should take up in Sue
cession each subject with which the
tariff deals and investigate the con-
dltions of production here and
abroad. They should find out the
facts and not merely accept the
statements of interested parties,
and they should report to Congress
on each subject as soon as that sub
tect has been. covered
Then action can be taken at once
on the particular subject concerned.
while the commission Immediately
proceeds to investigate another. BY
this means log, rolling would be
avoided and each subject treated on
its merits. while there would be no
such shock to general Industry as is
implied in the present custom of
making sweeping changes in the
whole tariff at once.

WONT SURRENDER CHARLTON
State Departments Mind Made Up-ItaIy
Has Asked For Him

Porter Charlton who is under arrest

murder of his wife, Mrs. Mary Scott
Castle Charlton, at Lake Como, Italy.
will not be surrendered in response
to the request made by the Italian
Government for his extradition TO
Italy for trial. The present intention
of the officers of the State Depart
ment is to decline to surrender him.
This means that Charlton will go
free, as there is no court in this coun
try with jurisdiction to try him
A deadlock exists between the State
Department and the Italian Foreign
Office over the question of Charlton's
extradition. The Italian Government
has asked his surrender and the official
warrant and other extradition papers
are now on their way to the Depart
ment. Secretary of State Knox, it is
said, is willing to surrender Charlton,
but only on condition that the Italian
Government agree to surrender in
future Italians who commit crimes in
this country and take refuge in their
native land.
The Italian Government is forbidden
by its penal code from extraditing its
own subjects to foreign countries. In
view of this deadlock, according to
present intentions the request from
Italy for Charlton's surrender will be
denied.

THE DAIRY INDUSTRY
Department OF Agriculture Shows Diver.
sified Produce

According to the last yearbook of
the Department of Agriculture, there
are 81, 720, 900 milch cows in the Uni
ted Staes, and these are worth $702, :
945, 90. The magnitude of the indus
try can perhaps be best understood
when it is considered that these COW
produce yearly about $1,000, 600, 900
worth of dairy products.
There is no other branch of diversi-
fled agriculture so important to the
progress of a county. The fertility
of the soil can best be maintained by
their use of barnyard manure and the
dairy herd not only makes this pos
sic, ut dairying is also more remunr-
erative than other branches of farm
ing when properly carried on.
Dairying has made wonderful pro-
gress since the advent of the modern
creamery and the consumer of butter
has not only been benefited by being
furnished more wholesome aud palat-
able aricle of food, but the wife in the
fam home has been relieved of the
drudgery incident to making butter
on the farm. Where formerly the
cream was ripened and churned into
butter under conditions not coducive
to fine quality in the finished product
and in the majority of cases by un-
skilled bands, now the most of the
milk or cream is delivered to modern
creamery where conditions are suited
to the purpose of making butter, and
the result has been a wonderful i'm
provement in the quality of our dairy
products. AS the quality has improved
consumption has increased and the
progress of dairying has been remark
able during the past decade.
The perepetuity of the country's
greatness depends upon increasing
the production of farm products from
year to year, a result which not only
furnishes our people with food but
maintains the prosperity of our farm
ing communities. Increase in produc-
tion can only come through improved
methods of agriculture and soil i'm
provement. When it is consi dered
that the dairy COW is the foundation
for soil improvement and farming
prosperity, her Importance is best un-
derstood, and interest in her should
not be confined to her owner. She is
an important factor in the develop
ment and property of the country.
