A Day OF Reckoning Coming.


The Republican-R enegade1Stand-
Pat-Boss Prevaricator and claimer Of
this county is simply out-of-sight
when it comes down to intentional
and unmitigated classifying. He can
twist the truth into fragments and
manufacture more gall with compla-
eency than any other known quantity
Of human nature ever created. In his
imaginative brain he can Increase IL
legal negro votes to count by the
thousand. BY his process Of reason
ing on the negro vote by perpetual
repeating method of his own he can
run majorities easily Into the thou
sands. This genius cares nothing
for the Democratic party or Bull
Moosers either SO long as he can
clasp the Illegal negro voter to his
bosom and count him as often as his
Imagination dictates. Put it down
in your memory that the people are
on deck this year and remember that
there is a penitentiary in West vir-
ginia which will be utilized after
November next when the white peo-
pie of the State get through voting.
There is a day of reckoning just
ahead for those, who would disfran-
chise the white voters of Mingo
county with the Illegal negro vote
from other States.

The spirit of Americanism was
exemplified to remarkable degree
during the debates in the Senate on
the Panama Canal bill and on che
final vote on those sections of the
measure which excited the live,iest
possible controversy The Upper
branch went ahead and perfected the
bill In many important particulars,
especially with reference to railroad
owned vessels using the Canal free
tolls for American vessels engaged
In the coast-wise and foreign trade
and permitting vessels, whose stock
is owned principally in this coun-
try, to fly the American flag and be
given American register. OF course
some of these features may be modi-
fed In conference, but SO pronounc-
ed was the vote in both Senate and
House OF the main features of the
bill that the conferees would be fly
ing in the face of sharp criticism
should they endeavor to write out OF
the bill its distinguishing character
istic, the Canal primarily for Amer,
lea, and Americans for the Canal.

An Age Of Cant and Graft.

Reedy, of st. Louis, who as rule
puts his points better than anybody.
hits the nail squarely on the head
when re says in the current lss,ie Of
The Mirror:
New York's Rosemthal murder
case reads like dozen dime novels
rolled into one. II Is an epic OF gil
morals to be dra xn from the story.
But one is seldom drawn: that is,
that we wouldn't have SO much graft
hut for our Puritan ideas rs to gamb-
ling and other vices. lf we were not
SO bent upon stopping what can't BIO

men employed to stop 1t using their
positions to sell the privilege 10 10
the things they are emo ,ya1 to stop.
Gambling and prostitution are most
productive of graft when the sup
preston of them is mos. insisted
upon. In other countries where
those vices are looked upon as nee
essary evils we hear OF nothing like
the police graft in American cities
Yet other countries regulate those
vices fairly we'll. /"
Cant and graft are twins. They go
hand in hand Better have Monte
Carlo than what we seem to have
here" said DIR. Lyman Abbott to the
recent mass meeting of New York
citizens called to consider the Ros-
enthal murder.

The magnitude and intrleacy Of
the engineering problems connected
with the building of the Panama
Canal are not the only obstacles with
which the engineers on the Zone
have to contend. One OF the greatest
difficulties that has stood in the way
of the completion Of the Culebra cut
Is the tremendous slides OF earth and
rock that still interfere with the
work.
To aid the army experts now en-
gagged in the operations, the Isthmi-
an Canal Commission has employed
Prof. James F. Kemp, head of the
Department of Geology at Columbia
University, to go to Panama to lend
his assistance. He will advise not
only how to avoid the slides, If pos
sible, but also will give attention to
the outbrusts of gases along the
Canal cut. They were at first re-
ported to be of volcanic origin and
this caused great uneasiness. Re
Gently other causes have been as
signed. The canal officials have al
ways denied that the landslides or
the gaseous outbrusts indicated any
permanent obstacle, but this employ
ment of a man whose life has been
devoted to study of such questions
indicates that the difficulties are
more serious than they ace willing
to admit.

Pretty Hard ON Jim.

The Herald Dispatch intimates Its
belief that, in case of progressive
triumph, Congressman Hughes would
be bound by the policies of the pro
gressives. or, in other words, would
be a progressive; and that, should
the republicans triumph, he would
be bound by the stand pat policies OF
the republican party. BY the same
token, should the democrats triumph
1t is presumed that Mr.. Hughes
would be bound by the policies OF
the democratic party.
That is pretty rough on Jim. And
IL is undeserved too. The Advertiser
has not generally agreed with Mr..
Hughes, but it has always believed
that he had the courage to stand for
what he believes. 1t remains for his
good friend the Herald-Dispatch to
intimate that his beliefs and his
course in congress- will be guided by
the direction in which the political
wind happens to blow.
The Huntington Advertiser In the
above gives Mr.. Hughes little more
political stability than we should be
willing to youch for. We should
much prefer to believe that the Her
ald-Dispatch more correctly inter-
prets the political ethics OF Mr..
Hughes. He is for anything that
will aid him in holding on to a re-
munerative Office without rendering
any service.

Bennett Says Position should lie

William r. Bennett. OF Fayetfe-
vile, judge Of the Fayette circuit
court, against whom charges were
recently filed and Governor Glass
cock asked to call special session
of the legislature to impeach the
jdrist, has handed to Governor Glass
cock his resignation, and it was at
once accepted. In his letter of res
ignation, Judge Bennett said:
Il do not do so In consequence of
any feeling, even the slightest, that
have been guilty of misconduct i'm Of
flee. My only reason for taking this
course is that the Office of Judge is
of such high character that / do not
believe it is fair to the state, your
administration, or the people of my
circuit, to emibarrass you or them
even momentarily, by a continuance
in Office of myself while under sus-
picion A judge above suspicion from
any source, even the most untrust-
worthy, should fill the Office until
cam demonstrate the falsity of these
charges, which / will certainly do
without loss of time. .
Judge Bennett is the Republican
nominee to succeed himself.

An Associated Press dispatch from
Washington says: "0ne hundred

ed from the American people during
the last fiscal year by swindlers who
operated largely through the United
States mails. according to stater
ment just made public in formal
report to Postmaster General Hitch
cock This is an increase Of $780,
000, 900 in the aggregate of the pre-
vious year. or those who are alleg-
ed to have operated the fraudulent
schemes, 1853 were arrested by the
postoffice inspectors During the
year which ended June 80 last, 452
persons were convicted and sentenc-
ed and 571 cases are awaiting final
disposition. Postmaster General
Hitchcock's order to inspectors to
collect evidence that would warrant
criminal prosecution of the swind-
lers gradually is building wall Of
protection against such frauds
around the American people"
This, however. is not a mark COM
pared to the amount filched from the
pockets OF the people through the
trust system and other highly pro-
tected republican party policies. II
federal authorities would only pros
ecute the influential men who con-
spire against the lives of the people,
with half the zeal they imploy in the
prosecution OF the ordinary violators
of the law, the results would be i'm
mediately noticeable In the cost Of
