The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1911-01-31

The Fairmont Times of yesterday
had long article boosting Sherman
G. Denham for United States senator
two years hence to succeed G. w.
Watson. That paper had good
many nice compliments for Mr.. Den
ham, especially when referring to
his long political record which has
been clear Of any dirty muddles or
bribery charges. Perhaps the
smudge smeared on its fellow towns
man by the Hubbard, Robinson ard
Shock combine leads the Times to
conclude that the new senator will
be barred after such a howl was put
up against the book~makers.

Adntces to the Exponent the most
OF the last three weeks from
Charleston ought to have been cor
rect as it had one OF its home men
there most of the time and it
boosted that 1t would ibe we'll rep
resented. notwithstanding those
facts, it says advices from there
have been unreliable and it is nov
disposed to accept further advices
with a grain Of salt. If it cannot
believe what it gets from Charleston
how can it expect the general public
to believe what it prints from
Charleston?

H
woman may get $500 per week for,
such services, possibly $40 per,
week. She works 24 days for a
wage of $S2 or $40 as the case may
DE. The holder OF a third grade
certificate may get as low as $S2 per
month for 20 days teaching. How.
many OF the third grade certificate
holders in Marion county could do
the work that the stenographer
does? How many OF the holders OF
such certificates are qualified in
spelling, penmanshtp, arithmetic
and composition, to do such service?
There are some things more than
wages to be thought OF by teachers.

AT last the 'ang's mouthDiece has
opened its mouth and this is what
1t says, 1T is an undenIable truth
that IeitheF of these gentlemen
(the next two Democratic United
States senator's from West vfr-
ginial, was the choice of a majority
of the Democrats Of this county or
senatorial district" Yet the public
was told all through the campaign
by that sheet that If the Democrats
won the people would choose their
public servants. The Exponent adj
m:ts that 1t is a case of the people
be damned"

AT least one Of the Watson news
papers, Democratic Of course, is
charging James w. Robinson and
Jesse Kennedy, delegates from this
county to the legislature, as acting
under the directions of well
known Republican postmaster and a
member of the Republican State
Committee. II 1t be true, Robinson
and Kennedy are in good company,
but the Exponent will probably call
upon Robinson and Kennedy for
specific denials." So be it!

Does Watson Want IT.

If the Fairmont Times believes
the following 1T has to say about the
election Of a United States senator
In Nevada could be applied In West
Virginia next time, the Telegram
promises to be favorable to it, pro
vided truly clean and dignfed''
campaign does not end like it did at
Charleston this year:
1.-The legislature of Nevada is
Democratic. 1t has just reelected
George S. Dixon. Republican, to the
United States Senate. He received
every vote of both Democrats and
Republicans. Last fall when the
general election was pending, Mr..
Dixon and his Democratic opponent
agreed to submit their claims to the
voters. To this plan the respective
state committees consented, and Mr..
Dixon received about LOO more
votes than his opponent and the
voting in the legislature was merely
a formal ratification OF the will OF
the people"
Does Watson want it?

Victory for the People.

1t becomes more evident every day
that the course of the Republican
state senators was wise and very
much in the interest of the people,
Democrats who at first condemned
them for remaining aloof from the
Democratic jumpers are apparently
even more willing to stay away from
that bunch, and it is asserted on
every hand that they will not go
near enough to them at the next
election to reach them with. a
forty-foot' pole. They are done with
most of that bunch forever and
there is no one to blame them for
the decision.
In addition, however, to that
bunch's being found out by their
own party, the people are coming to
a better appreciation OF what the
victory of the Republican senators
means. AS stated by the Wheeling
1ntelligencer and many other news
papers of the state, the Republican
members stood for simple fairness
and justice and they won.
Confronted by an unjust and
criminal attack upon one OF their
number, they did not hesitate to re-
sent it to the uttermost, and in SO
doing were compelled to resort to
extreme measures. The grounds of
the issue entirely justified this
action. The victory they have won
is not only a victory for fairness anc
decency in politics, 1t is more than
that. 1t protects the people OF West
Virginia against the enactment of
extreme partisan legislation Of any
kind, and assures them that in the
Senate at least legislation will be
considered on it's merits, instead of
its partisan advantages.

steel trust" committee Of the house
has determined that further light on
that deal must be obtained and that
every person who had anything to do
with 1t shall be examined.
The committee is again considering

Stunning his testimony before the house

denounced the Sherman antitrust law
as archaic, and declared that govern
mental control of corporations even
tually would come. Mr.. Gary assert
ed that the steel corporation would
welcome such change and would be
glad if the government would go so
far as to dictate the price of steel pro-
ducts.
In explanation of the reported world
wide trust" Mr.. Gary said that con-
ference would be held in Brussels
July and 6 next, to organize an in
ternational steel institute, similar to
the American Iron and Steel institute.
The latter, he asserted, was formed
to prevent decentralization in trade and
to permit an exchange of ideas for
the betterment of the steel industry.
In no instance, Mr.. Gary said, had
there been any attempt at unlawful
combination or expressed or implied
agreement. Mr.. Gary said he would
do all he could do morally and legally
to further the proposed institute.
Increased prices are to be charged
for steel rails in the near future, &C.

demand for heavier rails, was given
