Court to the Front.

The county court Of Taylor county
announces that it is ready to CO.
operate with the people OF the
county in the matter OF a bond is
sue for road improvements, or
rather the court is at the head OF a
movement to enlist the citizens OF
Taylor county in general in such a
movement. That court has called
a mass meeting OF the citizens OF the
county to be held in the court house
at Grafton next Saturday. In max
ing the call the court says:
1.-THE county court Of Taylor
county, considering the funds at its
disposal insufficient for the satisfac-
tory improvement and maintenance
OF the roads OF the county, invites
all citizens of the county to meet
at this time to discuss with 1t the
edvisability Of a bond issue for this
purpose"
Commenting on the call, the Graf
ton Leader has the following very
excellent editorial:
''In another column OF this issue
will be found call of the county
court for mass meeting Of the cit
liens of Taylor county for the pur-
pose OF discussing the advisability
.of county bond issue. The court
has found the funds OF the county
insufficient for the improvement
and maintenance OF the county roads
and the citizens are asked to meet
and discuss the question OF a bond
Issue. The matter OF good roads is
OF vast Importance to every one liv-
ing within the county, and should
not be neglected. If we have poor
roads, we are hampered In many
ways, not only the citizens living
towns as we'll. Many counties have
taken up the movement for good
roads, and, finding themselves short
OF funds, the citizens have willingly
given them bond issue for the pur-
pose. AS good roads are neces-
sity, and money Is needed by the
county court for this purpose. the
proposition OF a bond issue for
Taylor county is a good one, and
should find favor with all broad
minded citizens. All who can
should attend the meeting as thel
question is important. {"
While the county court OF Har-

-rison county IS doing some very ek-
ceIIent road work IN two roads lead
ing ont OF Clarksburg and IN the
road at Bristol and near Salem. the
court itself doubtless realizes that
the present system IS Incapable OF
measuring up to the real needs and
1T knows that the roads in general
are very Insuperfor.
There has been constant agitation
for better roads. Meetings have
been held and good roads associa-
tons formed. But. with all that
no deanite plans have been formu-
lated and but little. II anything, ac-
lcomplished.
The action OF the county court
Of Taylor county IN volunteering to
place itself at the head OF the move
ment for good roads IS suggestion
for a solution OF the problem in
this county. With the county court
Of this county as the head Of a bond
issue movement, the question would
certainly shape itself so as to have
an early expression on the subject.

useless Advice.

The Charleston Mail gives a por-
ton OF the Democratic party In this
state the following advice:
eff the honest Democracy OF west
virginia-that portion OF 1t that
favored the enactment of a state
wide primary election law-will get
a hustle on now and follow the ex-
ample of the Republicans in pro-
vfding for a nominating primary,
some of the so-called leaders OF the
party OF negation will be quickly
relegated to the rear and the men
who are deserving of the offices will
be at least accorded the empty honor
OF nominations.
1t is needless to say that the ad-
vice is useless as everyone knows
that the Democratic state machine,
including the Democratic State
Committee itself. does not intend to
let the party have a primary cleo
ton.

wide primary election June 4 next
in West Virginia are less vociferous
since the publication OF the text Of
the Jules and regulations. and the
more they familiarize themselves
with those rules and regulations
the weaker will their cry be that
fraud Is contemplated ana ProyIded
for
The rules and regulators them
selves show that the COMMITTEES
took extraordinary pains to guard
against fraud and to afford q fair
election. 1T is observed that the
laws OF the state relating to general
elections are largely to govern the
conduct OF the election. The tncor-
poration OF the state election laws
into the rules ana regulations GER
tainly does not indicate desire on
the part Of the state committee for
corrupt and fraudulent practices In
the primary election. Every pro-
vison is based on the purpose to
have an honest election and to pro
vide the voters with full oppor-
tunity to cast and have counted
their ballots free from all domi-
neering Influences. The rules and
regulations themselves are COM
plete refutation of the cry that
fraud is contemplated.
Under the plan adopted by the
state committee, it Is apparent that
every Republican can feel assured
that his voice will be heard through
the ballot and that his vote can be
cast without fear that 1t will not be
counted. Certainly under such a
plan every Republican will feel him
self free to participate in the pri'
mary election and be content with
the outcome. The primary plan has
already become popular and 1t Will
become still more 80 with a more
thorough understanding OF it's pur-
port. The following editorial par
agraph by the Charleston, Mail is an
evidence Of the favorable manner in
which the rules and regulations are
being received by the people:
$50 tar as can be Judged at this
early date after the action OF the
committee; the statewide primary
election with the state as a unit Is
going to prove popular with the
party generally speaking, and If the
right kind OF candidates viii now
announce for Office we haven't the
slightest doubt in the world but
that the Republican party will nomi-
nate a ticket next June 4th that will
sweep the state. Everything con-

recently regarding the secret passages
in her pos-ofice where all employees
may be spied upon al will
Americas has the spy equipment in
her pos-offce, but no great row has
been kicked up about it by employees
or others.
The secret passages through the
Americas building are so arranged
that the spy can come here and
leave at will and the employees will be
none the wiser about it.
The passages are entered through
four doors on the basement and frs
floors. These are small and closely
resemble on the exterior, the entrance
to a small closet.
They are fitted with special lock:
with keys Of original design and en-.
-irely different from any other do3i
in the building.
Beginning on the basement floor r
the exact center of each end Of tbs
building, the secret passage starts
and runs through the wall up aboyc
the second floor where both are con.
nected by a small passage runnin,
along above the ceiling of the mai
work room.
A steel ladder resembling those US
ed on fire escapes, is clamped TO the
