DECORATING
Is the City Of Charleston for
the Annual Meeting of
the Woodmen.

CHARLESTON, April 81 - Al
though the state camp of the Mod
ern Woodmen of America will not
meet in this city until May and A.
many OF the business houses of. the
city are beginning to decorate for
the occasion. The local committee
in charge of the arrangements esti-
mate that at least 1000 Woodmen
will be here and participate in the
parade on the evening OF the first
day of the session.
There is some talk that the nine
delegates who go from West vir-
ginia to the head camp of the order
which meets in Buffalo, y. Y, be-
ginning June 90. will be instructed
TO use their best efforts to bring the
head camp to the capital OF West
Virginia three years hence.

democratic Office Greed.

Habit is with Democratic newspa-
Der correspondents these days in
nagnifying Republican squabbles
ever federal positions. The truth Is
there are very few Republicans now
seeking government jobs. Within
the last two weeks there were thous-
nds of o1iee-seeking Democrats in
the nations capital and many a
Democratic congressman knew not
whittier to turn. He was besleged
On every hand for JOB. Men vir-
tualIy gnawed on promises and yet
they were empty as a dry funnel.
In this state great emphasis was
placed on the assertion that there
were too many Office holders, and
doubtless some were fooled into
voting the Democratic ticket there
by. However, no sooner was the
election returns over than al army
Of office-seeking Democrats sprang
up like mushroom in the night.
They Aocked to washington. They
hung around. They staid. They
blew their money. They got noth-
ing. The time came, when Demo-
cratic congressman found them
selyes strictly UP against the real
proposition There was nothing to
give except sympathy and that was
handed out to the disappointed and
disconsolate in chunks as big as
were the mud formations in Clarks-
burg water before the new water
works system was begun.
Angered and broke, back across
the continent the unfed ones went.
Some came as far as West Virginia
and resumed theiS accustomed
modes of life, sad but wiser. 1t is
nut little they care about the Re
publican differences over few
rostofiices. What worries them IS
the fact that they were led to be-
! lieve there was something in store
for them.
The unseemly exhibition of desire
to feed at the public trough refutes
the idea that the Democratic party
wants fewer offices to exist and it
shows how deceptive was the party's
argument in the last campaign,
When the Democratic party loses its
greed for public Office, there will be
no need OF the existence of such Of
fees.

it might se stretched to include al
most half Of the imports on which
the I'm ted States now collects tariff
revenues, according to the Repub-
lican leader. The Democrats them
selves must have some doubts Of the
utility OF the bill as GONE of them
concede large reduction in revenue
in the event that 1t should become
law, but make the assertion that
they will make up for this loss in
the economics which they viii pFaC-
tice. There is difference between
talking economy and practlcing it.
Every Congress has recommended
economy, but few OF them have prac-
ticed It to noticeable extent. While
the Democrats in the present House
are advertising economies they eff
iected, It would he well to wait till
the close of the first regular session
through which they are in power,
before counting UP the saving in ex-
pense in the conduct of business. It
is easy to proclaim reduction in ex-
pendltures in the beginning of
session and quite as easy to increase
them as the season advances. But
Representative Mann's discoveries
in the Democratic preparation for
the public consumption, the loss in
revenues and to the farmers and
others, are not surprising. Every
body knowing their capacity for
olandering expected them to pre-
pare a disagreeab!e and unhealthy
mixture.

RANSOM WANTS
AN OFFICE TOO
to Confusion Between
Names of Charleston
and Charles Town.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 27-
The old diaiculty arising from the
names of Charleston and Charles
iowa has led to a request for new
postofIice for a part of the latter
place. The incorporated city Of
Ransom Immediately adjoins the city
OF Charles Town, and the citizens Of
that community are now asking for
a postoffice, so they will not have 20
be annoyed by their mail going first
to Charleston and there being for
warded back to Charles Town. The
site proposed for the new office is
only few blocks from the present
postoffice but across the corporation
line. A delegation of citizens who
are advocating the establishment ct
the new postoffice was here yester-
day to discuss the matter with Con-
gresham Brown, the two senator's
from West Virginia and the post
master general. They were j. f.
Wyatt, w. Spears and Girard D
Moore.
The postofiice department seems
to be willing to establish the new
Office provided it does not effect the
revenues of the old Office, and has
suggested that the interested parties
supply a postoffice room, properly
equipped and man to run the post
Office without cost to the govern
ment, in which case the office would
be established and its revenues be
considered part of the revenues of
the present office.

nominating conventions but Is 70
all ana the choosing metnbets 81 po-
Itical committees hardly so.
For instance, Harrison county has
about sixty voting precincts. Hts
idea Is that the voters OF every
precinct should hold mass con-
yention and make selections. If
every precinct selected but one dele
gate to a nominating convention, a
general county nominating eonven-
ton, there would then be forty short
of the lowest number ever sent to
a county convention IN this county,
from which 1t may be logically ar
gued that the peoples representa-
ton in the convention would Se
much more limited than 1t is under
existing conditions. As to commit
teemen. the Gaines plan would give
a political party county committee
OF sixty instead OF twenty as It is
now. In the case of the smaller
PARTIES, It would then be all com
mittee. In fact, by the time the
committee was picked out, there
would he hardly mem
Der of the party left to nom
mate for office. The Gaines
plan would mean state convention
at least twice as large as the last
ones, an assemblage unweildly and
beyond the ordinary city capacity to
house and feed.
Perhaps, II Mr.. Gaines should
change from the precinct idea to
that of the magisterial district, he
would be hewlng closer to the line
and when he does that, he win Hnd
himself largely supporting what al
ready exists so far as the Republican
party is concerned in several coun-
ties.
The plan of making nominations
Is not more important than the
means used.

Advance Apology.

"a Democratic exchange observes
that there is likely to be about as
many kinds of primary election
law suggested in the coming special
session Of the legislature as there
Will be those engaged In making
such a law.
There is little doubt that there
will be as many kinds suggested as
there viii be Democrats in attend
ance at least. Most likely the DEM
ocratic newspaper mentioned, which
.ts none other than the Fairmont
Times, had in mind the usual lack
OF coherency on the part of Demo-
Gratis when they are placed on trial
and their inability to cope with
questions OF Importance, and is,
therefore, apolog,zin in advance for
the mistakes and Interior designs
OF a Democratic legislature. Who
knows hut that the Democratic
bosses have not already cooked up
some sort of trick primary legisla-
ton that will be more of blind
than anything else. Perhaps the
Times thinks the people have had a
rather fair sample of Democratic
dawdling in West Virginia and
knows it is useless to make golden
promises any more in respect tc
legislation that is to be enacted by
a Democratic legislature.
The fact of the matter is that
when the Democrats get through
with a primary election law in this
special session the thing will come
about as near fitting conditions and
needs and as near to what the peo'
pie want as the present Baltimore &
Ohio railroad station comes to fit.

Uses Names Incor,.ectly.

Having exonerated the Republic
cans Of this state OF being in the
plot to saddle large portion Of
yirginia's deTot on West Virginia, t
is ,idle talk" for the Exponent to
attempt to shield Virginia from the
censures that state deserves for
making a bargain with certain peo-
ME in order to get rid Of its debt at
the expense Of another state. The
Exponent Is on record as saying
certain Virginia Democrats through
Vaccinations caused the old debt
suit to be brought in the Supreme
Court of the United States and it
knows that the suit never would
have been instituted had Virginia
not lent Its name as trustee and
brought the suit for the creditors.
Which is the guilty party-Vir-
gfnia or West Virginia? Certainly
not West Virginia, which tried to
have the case thrown out? The
trouble with the Exponent is that,
through love OF FORMER habitats. it
uses the name of West Virginia
where it should use that of vir-
ginia in its discussion of this ques-
tion, 1t it will but reverse the same,
it will find itself somewhat correct.
