Registers Egregfous Error.

REGISTERS ISBEeBeUU6 ulEEOE'
tan egregious error is made by the
wheeling Register, when it says
that the5Democratlc party is united
in the nation, and one. need go no
farther than. to- the same editorial
of the Register TO prove that error.
lIt aeknoW lodges that it is mistaken
when 1t declares that the Demo
cratic party is united and harmoni-
GUS. It goes so far as to say that
the several democratic newspapers
in West Virginia which refuse to
wear the yoke of the Democratic
state machine, represent but a
small part of the Democratic dlssat-
isfactlon. The Telegram quotes the
Registers own words:
''They do not represent more than
one per cent of the disgruntled
members of the party
II the Democratic newspapers in
this state not controlled by the DEM
ocratic state machine represent
such small per cent of the NAL
coltents in the Democratic party in
this state, the West Union Record
has its figures entirely too low, when
it Gays that there are 10000 Demo-
Gratis eager to knife any machin9
candidate that comes up for public
office. The Register itself leaves
the impression that there are abo 1t
one hundred times more than that,
or several hundred thousands more
than there are Democrats II the
state. 1t virtually admits that the
entire party is up in arms in this
state against the reputed party
leaders.
Having admitted such, 1t is high
time that the Register itself should
represent a percentage of these
indictments instead of trying to
read out of the party those news
papers that merely represent less
than one per cent of a party that
the Register declares in one breath
is united and harmonious and in
the next says by inference at least
and logical conclusion that the
greater part of that party is in re-
belion against its leaders and its
present organization.
Indeed, the Register does make an
egregious error, when it declares
that the party is united, and 1T
proves absolutely that one need not
go out of West Virginia to conclude
that it is in error.

a SenslhIe PInn.

The Massachusetts legislature
which has a workingmen's compen-
sation law under consideration, has
been advised by the Massachusetts
supreme court, all five judges agree
ing, that the measure under advise
ment is constitutional. Conse-
quantly the legislature has only now
to consider the wisdom of the bill,
its fairness and so on. II the bin
becomes a law it may not be made
ineffective later on by raising the
question OF consututtonality. That
point is settled. In the opinion of
the BunaIo Express this is a most
sensible method of determining the
constitutionaIity of laws:
How much better is this method OF
determining this point than that of
waiting until proposition is made
"a law and then taking it to court
for a test, with all the attending
confusion about it's enforcement. In
this state, and doubtless in most of
the states, as in the nation, law
may be enacted but when its en-
foreement is sought someone raises
the question OF Its constitutionality.
Then a formal suit must be brought
and tried: and it drags it's slow way
through the courts until finally, at
ter some years, we get an opinion
from the last court one way or the
other.

For the Game of Baseball
with the Local Team at
Union Park Sunday.
CCarson.)

Word has been received by Man
ager Louis Smith from the manager
of the Redwood baseball team, that
arrangements have been made with
the baltimore and Ohio railroad for
an excursion train which will be run
to this city from FLEETWOOD Sunday.
when the Fleetwood and Clarksburg
baseball teams will meet at Union
Park. It was not known until yes
terday that the excursion was
deanite but now it is and this set
tied fact will be the cause of about
1850 of the husky and rugged Rich
wooders appearing in the city to
cheer for their favorites when they
meet the fast FCiarksburg team.
Upon first thought one would
probably be led to believe that the
Fleetwood team would not be
! worthy opponents of the locals. but
change this opinion just as soon as
you can. as the Fleetwood team, be-
yond a doubt, will prove as strong
a bu1ch of ball tossers as has ap-|
peared in this city this season. The.
baseball team representing that city,
Is not made up of natives of Rich
wood. in the strictest sense of the
word. but on the other hand the
team is composed of several OF the
best amateur players in the country.
while a few of the members of the
team have played professional ball
fleetwood boasts of fine city
league which has enthused the
thriving little township until the
baseball spirit there is something
great. They are boosters and they
believe their team Is unbeatable and
Sunday the mammoth crowd which
viii accompany the team here will
show the local fans the art of root
ing and remaining staunch to their
team. They know not the word
''knock.7'
The cause OF sRichwood's having
such good team Is that many col
1ege players. are brought to Rich
wood for the summer, where they
are given good positions in the IN
dustries there and also paid for their
bali playing. Fleetwood is baseball
crazy and they are coming Sunday
good and strong. The game will
start at 3 o'clock. special cars leav-
ing the court house at ZOOS and

They are not Democratic newspa-

Before one accepts what the Reg

fine what it means by majority. p"
1t would find ny straw vote, If it
should be honest enough to resort
to that, that the majority of the
Democrats of West virginia-yea a
great majority-believes every word

Overwhelming opposition to the

vacation Time.

People are not of mind to be
excited about anything. 1t is toe
warm, for one thing. 1t is nature
period of rest, a quiescent season
when revolutionary movements, SEN
sational events, even new ideas, arc
not welcomed. The farmer, between
planting time and harvest, is medi-
tatively considering his crops ana
taking temporary ease; the mercan-
tile world is at its least active sea-
son; lawyers, teachers, all pro
fessionals who can command leisure
are seeking recreation. vt is Vaca-
ton time and people of all classes
turn instictively away not only from
the customary routine OF the rest OF
the year, but, says the indianapolis
Star, from the public affairs that in
terest them at other seasons when
the blood runs quicker and the mind
Is more alert.
Nothing of importance is happen
ing because those who might make
things happen are more or less
somnolent like the rest of the world:
1t Is an idle time and whether the
individual is able to enjoy physical
rest or. not he becomes mentally slug
gish. Nature will have her way
with men as we'll as with plants, and
the state of languor and lethargy
that comes to most human creatures
in midsummer is a rest that is en-
forced whether vacations are taken
or not and that is not wise nor
worth while to fight against. 1t isl
the dull season because men areI
dull.
