Martinsburg statesman-democrat. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1906-1921, 1911-11-03

with you in the regret that you ex
press in your letter to me, that you
had not in your younger years, or
infancy, been under the influence or
tutelage of Governor White. | admit
that you might have been deeply pious
and member ofthe Metho list Church
yet | fear you might have beer lacking
in gray matter, with which nature has
so abundautly supplied you. We
should learn to be more content with
our lot in life. We are not, nor can we
be, in any way, responsible for our
existence, our youthful training, or
our environments. 1t is all fate, Gen
eral, all fate.
lthiEk that we can agree tn at our
party created one commission too
many. That was our oversight The
idea of auditing the claims of Re-
publican county, before the election.
Auditor Blue was indscreet, if not
openly playing into the hands of the
Democrats in revealing the theft of
sixty thousand dollars in one county
by some of our best party workers.
the cruel prison doors should close
them forever from our view we will
remember them IN gratitude for their
services to the party.
Without making my letter too long,
have just been thinking of the Daw-
son-Teter contest, and the many good
men that lost their lives in that battle,
between the regulars and the first well
organized force of Insurgents, cota.
manded 10y Teter and others. These
mems memory should not be forgotten
and | merely mention it to you that
you might turn it over in your mind.
That is, that we organize two societies;
one, a memorial association to suita-
bly, mark the resting place of our fell
low Republicans who fell in that cam
paign, and Red Cross Society, to at
tend all future gathering of the party
to look after the wounded and dying.
For we cannot close our eyes to the
fact that the coming battle will be one
of great severity. Some of our lveliest
members have, in their great admira-
ton for President Taft, been reading
Unitarian literature. Some have even
belief in that faith. / think
it was good politics to appoint the
Governor one of the lay delegates. He
can hold that body in line and make
the church a strong ally of the party.
The blending of the state and church,
at the Capitol City was very happy
move, under the inspiration of the con-
ference. They could worship and lobby
at the same altar.
| do not share with you, the fear you
express, IN reference to McCorkle's and
Chilton's Confederate flag. | was not

bad, and the state had an amount
equal to this on deposit.

to one bundled thousand dollars to the
bad, and the state had an amount
equal to this on deposit.
What part we pause to ask, did the
Administration forces play in The mat
ter? And what over sight did Sam
Matthews have over this large State
deposit as State Bank Examiner? He
either showed indifference or inability.
And, now my dear Generoi, for the
sake of information to lDng-sufiering
public, we would like for the Governor
to say whether he had any pc ;uniary
interests in the Washington land deal,
with his staff officer, the state treasurer
and others, and if he knew they were
obtaining money from the banks and
what information he had throus h
his Bank Examiner as to the condit-
ion of the finances of that State
Bank, and whether he knew, when he
was pleasure-riding in his Aides auto
mobile, that it was bought, Jas was
also the fine cigars used by his COM
panion) and paid for with money that
belonged to honest toiling depositors?
And while the Governor is on the
stand, the people would like to know
whether his intimate and official as
ISOLATION with the late Senator Elkins
revealed to him what amount of the
West Virginia certificates, representing
the Virginia debt, if any, was owned
by him, or if he has any nowledge of
the ownership of any part of them, by
any West Nirginians?
The people have right to ask this
of their public servant, and to Know
why he has taken no step to adjust
the interest part of that debt with
Virginia, according to the expressed
desire OF the Supreme Court, or if his
apparent indifference and delay is in
the interest of the certificate holders.
These are questions that the people are
asking one another. Questions that
we will have to answer, sooner or
later.
But you and agree that publicity
should he after aud under no consid-
GRAFTON before, elections. You remem-
Der that memorable campaign, IA years
ago. After the election in the midst

us that he was to be commissioner of
Internal Revenue, and not being salts

son should be made State Librarian.
thus depriving one Of our colored
friends of good position. You will
recall that we went into a room and
prayed, then swore and then meekly
submitted. The result of it was that
il forced the State Administration to
appoint man to an important position
that had been twice tried in the courts
for murder.

Sugar.

Suddenly and without warning to
consumers, the price of sugar in nearly
all parts of the world began this sum
mer TO rise. Late in September the
price in the United States reached sew
en and twe-thirds cents wholesale and
eight cents retail. Not since 1889 has
the price been so high.
1t is interesting, however, to recall
the fact that the price was never so
low as seven cents pound until 1885.
In 1870 the price was thirteen and
half cents, and 1t did not fall below
ten cents until ten years later.

CARNATIONS SENT
BY THE PRESIDENT
All Souls Children Receive
Them To-day.

Hearts Of the children belonging to the
All Souls Church Sunday school will be
gladdened this morning at the annual
children's day exercises, when each one
will be presented with a carnation, the
gift of President Taft. Attached to each
carnation will be a card with these
words: "A gift to All Souls Sunday
school from President Taft, June 4. 1911"
Doubtless these cards will be saved and
shown in after years with pride.
For the past two years. President Taft
has attended the childrens day exercises.
but his absence in the West makes II i'm
possible for him to be present to-day.
Not forgetful of the day, the President
has written a letter to be read to the
school The letter is as follows:
Il very much regret that my engage
ments will take me out of the city for
the Sunday upon which you celebrate
what may be called the commencement
exercises of your Sunday school / have
attended them two years in succession
and greatly enjoyed the evidences of the
good work which has been done in teach
ing the children the proper method OF
studying the Bible and laying the foun-
dation for that part of their education
which may be called permanent. The
school and all its officers and all its
children have my very best wishes"
