The removal OF the Rev. John C.
f.zranbery from Barboursville, w
IVA, to Paintsyiue, KY by the COR
ference OF his church, bids fair to
become a political Issue Of state
wide prominence In the southern
mart OF the state it has already as
Esumed great Importance. The
Huntington newspapers are daily
Eengaged in arguing the case
/ 1t will be remembered that when
DR.. Granbery was ordered to depart
IRON west virginia to pastorate-in
lsKentu5ccky it was charged that polit7-
l3cal reasons we're at the bottom OF
mis- transfer. DR.. Granbery. himself,
declared that TO be true This
aroused suspicion and encouraged
investigation, which resulted in it
being ascertained that the Watson
Chiffon corrupt combine, working
through the local leaders in that de
nomination at Barboursville, brought
about the conference action in send
ing DR.. Granbery out of the state
Their grievance against the scholar
" divine and aggressive worker foF
the uplfft OF his fellowmen was due
to the fact that DR.. Granbery had
opposed and crituized the foul boss
ism of these two men, The hrst
opportunity they had to punish him
resulted IN his being ordered out. OF
the state by his conference.
Dr.. Granbery is gone. The Child
Labor Committee in West Virginia
is thereby without an executive
head. The state Sunday School AS
ISOLATION and Caben County Ratih-
cation League are similarly De
prfved, and the movement for
purer politics, humane reforms ana
the betterment of our citizenship has
suffered the loss of a very active
ana able. force. But to Paraphase-
..4Iis soul goes marching on.
The case of DR.. -Granbery is
brazen and shocking example OF the
corrupt bossism which has gotten
control Of the Democratic party OF
west virginia and through it is now
reaching out to get control Of the
entire machinery of state govern
ment. If the voters of the state per-
NIT that to be accomplished II
means that the people of this com

criminal bossism placed upon their
