Watson and Free Coal.

1t is not believed that Senator
Watson will get much sympathy or
support from West Virginia coal op.
orators and miners in his efforts to
admit Canadian coal free of duty
into this country. Even the Demo-
cratic press shows no signs of COM
mending such a movement beyond
the general thought that that would
be in line with the ayowed free
trade policy OF the Democratic party,
which in number OF instances has
shown lately through utterances OF
some OF It's public mea that there
are to be limitations OF the policy.
The best that the state Democratic
press does as yet is to reason that
Senator, Watson's being a beneficiary
OF tariff on coal, his amendments to
the Canadian reciprocity agreement
providing for free coal actually
indicates sacrifice on his parii hut
in the same breath that press holds
out the idea that free coal would be
dangerous, For instance, the
Charleston Gazette says, 1--WE make
no confession at this time as to the
wisdom 81 free trade in coal" 1t
also says ''he might we'll have been
expected to- feel like many coal peo-
pie that free coal would be danger
ous." The Wheeling Register adds
that popular notions on the sub.
ject" are totthe effect that tarih
on coal is right.
There is every indication that
Senator Watson will soon see a
great slump in Democratic estimate
of his devotion to public duty IN in
Producing such an amendment.

with United States Senator clar-
3ence. W. Watson's urging free trade
IN coal with Canada, along the same
disltitereatedr line the Telegram
ought to be excused for arresting
attention to what is doubtless sena-
Tor Watson's conception of the needs
( dt West Virginia in the fuel line.
The public Is led to believe by his
action, especially are his West yir-
iSgilia home people persuaded, that
Senator Watson sees an urgent
necessity for Canadian coal even in
Glarksbprg. Possibly, the senator
Ilabors under the impression that the
gas supply OF this section is shortly
a become exhausted and, he GER
ttainly knows that under past and
present conditions as to the, coal
trade there would lbe fuel famine
in lClaTksburg. The conditions refer
red to are OF such nature as to in
citde the unwillingness on the part
q local coal operators, such as Sen
ator Watson, to bother with local
tfade. They have preferred to send
their coal east and west and it is
sale TO say they would DE unwilling
to supply the local trade at a less
price than their product commands
East and West.
Brilliant then is tie idea that free
coal from Canada might be utilized
to overcome such a condition here.
sAll hail Senator Watson's slogan, in
case the gas exhausts, ''Free Cana
dian coal for clarkaburg!"

Noble WORK br Republicnns.

Amusing indeed are the efforts of
several Democratic newspapers to
apologize for the work of the recent
session of the Democratic legisla-
ture. Some of them deplore the
failure to do what was set before
the Democratic legislators to accom-
plish and excuse the negligence on
the ground that Republican senator's
6iocked most OF the legislative work
during the session. About the time
this sinks in. other Democratic news
papers gushingly declare that the
session was the best and most sue
cessful held in number of years.
The Huntington Advertiser in
deep anguish sobs out the following
regrets and lamentations:

up to expectations IN many ways.
ijut 1t should be borne in mind that
b large part oisthe responsibility for
this failure must fall upon the
shoulders OF the Republicans in the

block any legislation they did not
approve, and who for weeks refused
to take any part in the sessions,
thus delaying legislation. and pre-
venting the passage OF many
measures that might otherwise have
been reached.
"Let the blame rest where it is
due, and likewise let the credit be
given to whom credit is due"
The Wheeling Register proceeds
to lay the blame where it belongs
and to give credit to whom credit is
due, az follows:
After the smoke OF the battle has
cleared away, and the people OF
West Virginia have an opportunity
to study the work Of the legislature
which adjourned last week, the con-
clusion will be reachedS generally
that 1t was one OF the most efficient

that they had fifteen patriotic men

as did Senator Scott. ut would seem
under the circumstances that sena-
Tor scott's vote was along the line
contended for by the South, while
Senator Watson's vote was in oppo-
sitton to several OF the real leaders
OF his party. From a Democratic
viewpoint there ought to be more
consolation derived from Senator

with the exception OF three or fOuf
offices, the Capitol building looked
practically deserted today as the
polling places drew everyone and
every ones mind.
At the mounted police office, how
ever, Captain Fred Fornoff was kept
busy getting information to deny re-
ports of "a killing" in this or that
county. One of the reports was that
a candidate for state senate had been
killed in Lincoln county. Telephone
messages from that and Otero coun-
ties promptly denied the report.
At the office of the territorial sec.
retary, Assistant Secretary E. F,
Coard and his assistants were kept
busy.
The governor was away, voting at
Las Vegas, but his secretary, Miss
Olsen was kept busy in her Office, ad-
joining the governors.
A few of the other officials visited
the capitol, saw that business was
dull and then closed their offices.
Federal Officials Busy.
There was the usual air of business
today around the federal building and
it was evident that the officials had
not gone home to VOTE" probably re-
serving their visit to the polls for the

Court House Quiet.
The court house was practically de-
serted and several of the Offices were
closed. Lawyers were too busy with
election affairs to file suits and-ah,
