Queer SIGN Posts.

In the neighborhood Of WarmbTunn,
In the Silesian mountains, there are to
be found some very curious signposts
One seen by a writer in the Wide
World Magazine represents a farm Ia
borer sharpening his scythe, on which
IS inscribed, in the old Silesian dialect,
ITO Giers Village, One Hour" The
signpost is well carved and painted in
natural colors, so that it appears very
Iife-like. Another signpost in the same
district represents a schoolboy carry
ing a slate bearing the name Of the
nearest village, toward which the boy
is pointing.

The adjournment OF the Sizty-sec-
ond Congress left one strong egure.
ana only one, standing out IN bold
relief. That was President Taft
whose frmness, honesty and sound
judgment saved the country from
the disaster which must have ensued
from the silly. in some cases, and in
other cases vicious, legislation at
tempted by the Democrats in Con-
gress. who were aided and abetted
By a small coterie Of Republican in
surgents.
Those that were misled into think
ing that President Taft was easy
or yielding or a 'eman OF straw
have had a chance to view him in
his real character as a man OF
strength and determination, coupled
with sound judgment and strong
grasp of public affairs.

BefrienIIs Labor.

Since President Taft took ofice a
commission has considered and re-
ported a bill for workingmen's in
suranee which has successfully
passed one house of Congress. There
has been genuine agitation Of the
tariff question with a view to aboli-
ton OF some of the worst abuses
The civil service has been much
strengthened and far better OBJ
served than under any previous adj
ministration.
A children's bureau has been ere
ated, and many other enterprises
looking to social betterment have
been set on foot. President Taft has
not been in the habit OF ostenta-
tiously grasping the palm OF
horny handed sons of toil'' or adj
vertising facts. He has not been pa
rading democratic" tendencies. He
has done a great deal to show gen
uine regard for the Industrial army

With apparently no particular eff
fort, George A. Laughlin. the splen-
did business man of Wheeling who
is running as "the business mans
candidate for Congress in this dis
frict, has started the brilliant
John w. Davis on the run for the
tall and uncut timber where con-
gressmen who vote against their own
constituencies are chased on to
wander and politically die.
Mr.. Laughlin merely pointed his
finger at Mr. Davis's votes on the
tariff against the farmers, mill own
ers, factory workers, wool growers,
steel and iron workers, the people
in the great pottery plants, and
then the trouble started for ''the
Intellectual Fellow" with which
this district is now encountered.

Pity the desperation OF the Wat
son corporationists at Parkersburg!
Now comes a sad wall up
on the air over the fact
that J. 2. Marsh is in charge
OF the speakers bureau at the Re
publican state headquarters. That
is the one true statement in the sad,
sad song. The others. to-wit: that
Mr.. Marsh is on the states payroll,
is negIecting his duties as an at
tache OF the department OF free
schools, and that the school system
is suffering in consequences, are all
false and untrustworthy as the rest
of the half-baked junk that issues
from the Watson corporation camp.
Prof. Marsh is not on the pay roll
OF the state, and has not been for
year. He is working in connection
with the state government. but his
valuable line of work is not support
ed by the treasury. His sal
airy is paid by wealthy citizen OF
West Virginia who is giving much
Of his valuable time and a large
sum OF money out of his pocket ev-
cry year to advance the interest OF
agriculture and the life of our rural
populace. Mr.. Marsh is placed at
the disposal OF the state board of re-
gents by his generous employer, and
is trying to assist the state schools
in their efforts to give better service
to the rural communities. and to
work out a plan of beneficial CO.
operation between the schools and
the business and agricultural inter
ests Of the state.
II may also interest the public
certainly it will inform the Watson
headquarters which does not seem to
know much that is accurate about
how the state government is run
that through the energy and alert
ability OF Superintendent Shawkey'
the entire salary of the rural school
supervisor and the eitire salary OF a
high school supervisor are paid from
sources outside of West Virginia.
This explanation is made before the
watson Ananias Club gets entrapped
in more Of its silly faIsehoods.
In the meantime. Mr.. Marsh Is
enjoying the political game here.
