POLICEMEN
Are Accused of Assuming
Man Who is Put Under
Peace Bond.

Soon after he was placed under
B6nd of $500 to keep the peace for
six months, as a result Of threaten
ing to shoot two NorthvIew police
men Sunday, Samuel Monroe swore
out warrants against stephen H.
shields and Ira L. Queen, policemen
of that suburb. Tuesday evening in
Justice C. H. Gordon's court. Shields
is accused of feIoniously assaulting
Monroe with a black jack and as
sault and battery in charged against
Queen. =
The warrants were served on the
two policemen the same night at
Northview by Constables c. L. Ford
and r. E Kidd, and the officers
took them before the Justice where
they furnished bonds to appear be-
fore him at 1880 O'Clock Friday
evening for trials. The case results
from an attempt to arrest Monroe

This is the time of the year when
the sweet girl graduate comes into
her own, and from the rostrum tells
the waiting world just what is the
matter with it and also prescribes
just the right sort of tonic. No
question is too difacult for the
young woman to tackle, and with
the precision that smacks of Justice
Harlan, she tells the sages just
where they have been wrong, and in
cidentaIIy indicates the place where
they get on.
There was a time when the gradua-
ton day was one OF mingled joy and
sadness, reminds the Pittsburg Post.

scrfbes the father or mother who
deposits his child in school and
goes on with the feeling that all the

child now devolves upon the
teacher.

their children meet harm for the

right who contends that fifty words
are enough for mans practical
needs, his theory of an abridged vo-

the simpler Forms OF expression,

Improving our diction. The master

M UnfaitIlfni Or.

a Democratic newspaper or two OF
this state is doing its best to cover
up Democratic sins by trying to
heap ridIcuIe and aspenion uDol
the heads OF Republican legislators.
Such thinly yelled EFFORT, however,
deserves no more than alaugh from
all Intelligent citizens.
The Clarksburg Exponent Is one
of the newspapers in question and
It's silly stand calls forth the follow
ing proper rebuke from the Par
kersburg Dispatch-NeWs:
'TThe clarksburg Exponent does.
not like to hear of the Faithful
Fifteen But for all that, the fif-
teen Republican senators of this
state have some excellent work to
their credit. They prevented one of
the rankese pieces of political rob
berry that ever was attempted in
West Virginia. It was all fixed to
unseat two of them. allow the Demo-
Gratis to organize. and instead of hag-
ing tie, to have that branch of the
legislature controlled entirely by the
Democratic members. This was pre-
vented and Republican was finally
chosen as president of the Senate.
The same fifteen are now doing all
in their power to give the state
fair and honest primary election
law
Indeed, IL the Exponent and It's
democratic mates should take tho
trouble to make an honest analysis
OF the situation at Charleston they
would change the tone OF their ref
erences to the Faithful Fifteen.
Late reports are to the effect that
the Republican fifteen are standing
true to their colors and that -prae-
tically all of them, representing
much larger majority in proportion
to their strength than the Demo
Gratis, are doing their best to keep
their party pledges and remain rue
to their constituents.
ON the other hand, take the sttua-
ton in the House. The Gilkeson
resolution, which provides for
commission to investigate primary
laws and report at the next regular
session of the legislature, was passed
by a vote OF IOTly@thES9 " lSAAEAA==S'5.
seven, and of the forty-three votes
cast in favor of it, forty-two were
cast by Democrats. This resolution
was undoubtedly intended to defeat
all possibility OF any primary legis-
lation in the House of Delegates
during the present special session.
AS the wheeling Intelligencer points
out, this resolution Is a miserable
subterfuge adopted by the Demo
Gratis because they were Forced into
a dishonorable position by corrupt
senatorial combine. These forty
two Democrats are under a solemn
pledge to enact a primary election
law and when they thus publicly
spurn the wishes of their constitu-
ents they hold themselves up as
veritable towards and traitors. As
the Intelllgencer says, their be-
trayaI of public interest and their
contemplate weakness in the face of
machine dominance prove their
complete unworthiness as repre-
sentatives of the people. and their
complete inability to render honest
and efficient public service"
