FAIR DEPREDATIONS,
Sneak Thieves Take Advantage of
Crowded Condition.

Several small thefts were reported
to the police and sheriff's office as a
result of the fair week crowd and the
carelessness of the losers. In one
rooming house, which was packed to
the stairs with cots and extra beds, a
roomer went out leaving his door
open and a gold watch and some
money on the top of the dresser.
When he returned the watch and
money were missing.
In another house several suitcases
were opened and the thief took his
pick from the contents. In every in
stance the losses were directly due to
gross carelessnesS.

Co1onfzIne Tramps.

The bill to establish farm col
ony for tramps in New York that
Governor Dix has signed authorizes
him to appoint board of seventeen
managers, who are to name a SUI
IperIntendent and to select, If posi-
Bile, a site from abandoned farm
lands owned by the state. The law
provides that reputable workmen
temporarily out of work shall not
be deemed tramps or Migrants or be
committed to the tramp colony.
The bill appropriates $4,000 to
inaugurate the work.
Except for a farm maintained by
the city, of Cleveland to which are
committed work mouse prisoners
generally, whether convicted of vag-
rancy or drunkenness or other petty
.ofrenses, this Is the first experiment
of the kind in the United States,
notes the Buffalo Express. In sew
eral European countries, however,
the plan has been tried successfully

cessful labor colony in existence, at
WitzwiI, where from 200 to ESQ

without cost to the state. Last year

De,nocratic WOO TarfR.

The evil effects CT Democratic
tinkering with the wool tariff are
thus pointed out by the Wheeling
IntelIigencer:
Wool growers in West Virginia
and Ohio have already had test
of bemocr tarim Legislation. The
wool bill which passed the House Of
Representatives and later passed
the Senate by combination OF
Democrats and insurgent RepublI-
can votes, provided for an average
protective duty on wool of the
grades grown in Ohio and West Vir-
ginia OF from three to i've cents per
pound, The intention of the bill Is
to impose an ad valorem duty Of
twenty per cent. Argentine woods
equal to our local wool can be laid
down in New York City at from
sixteen to twenty cents per pound.
AT present they pay duty of
twelve cents per pound. Under
Democratic tariff Legislation Ohio
and West Virginia wool growers
would be compelled to meet Argen-
tine competition with the inade-
Quate protection OF three to nve
cents.
What would this mean?
Simply that the Ohio and West
virginia wool growers, instead OF
getting from twenty-eight to thirty
five cents per pound for wool,
would get seventeen to twenty
cents. Sheep raising has not been
a highly profitable industry during
the last few years. within ra-
dius of fifty miles of Wheeling
thousands of sheep have been sold
at less than one dollar per head.
Let the Democratic wool tariff bill
become law and the condition of
the sheep grower in this section
will be far worse In the future than
it has been in the past.

West vIrrfnia Fruit.

The oft repeated contention by
West Virginia newspapers that the
fruit growing industry has splendid
possibilities in this state and that 1t
can be made profitable is bourne out
by facts contained in an editorial in
recent issue OF the Huntington
Herald-Dispatch. as follows:
The largest cannery in the
United States has a large corps Of
men in West Virginia buying ap-
pies. These agents state that they
must this year place their main de
pendence in West Virginia orchards,
and they offer fancy prices for lump
crops This situation emphasizes
the truth of assertions, made by
this paper few weeks ago. West
Virginia can be made the richest
orchard state in the union, ~ fruit
culture is given the proper degree
OF attention. Coal and timber an1
oil and gas are great. But grazing
and truck gardening and fruit
growing and tobacco planting oner
fields just as rich and far more per-
manent. And it requires but an in
intestinal part of the capital to
start one of these industries that is
necessary for the establishment OF
business dealing with one of the
other classes. The field OF agri-
culture offers the man Of small
means splendid opportunity. If he
will go about his work in faith be-
lIeving, and do it according to the
proved methods.

Cornwell and Hubbard.

John ]. Cornwell, Democratic
nominee for governor of the state
in 1904, declared in an editorial, IN
the last issue of the Hampshire Re
view, that noWilliaIn sP. Hubbard,
holding a bseat in Congress by vir-
tue of his having been nominated
and elected on the Republi-
can ticket, contributed money
in the last general state campaign
toward the election of Democratic
legislature. 500
II what Cornwell' says is true,
Mr.. Hubbard was guilty Of party
peridy, and it is certainly up to him
to prove that Cornwell Is in error.
If he would continue in the Repub-
lican party and be in its councils.

that because certain elements OF the

Senator George w. Bland should
