wealth Of golden CORY that trans
forms the meadows into q semblancs
Of eiyEan neids. Il comes 70 com
pepsate Us for the loss Of the violet
and to add further pleasure to the
sweetness and inspiration OF spring.
AS in the harvest time when
b%ounteous nature brings forth the
fruits OF the earth to typ
ify plenty and peace and security
from the blasts of winter, SO now
does the little b~uttercup hold forth
it's generous symbolical Offering to
give us the promise OF a teemful
and uberous summer. Where Is the
hard-hearted person who can look
upon the b~uttercap without an ex-
clamation Of delight? II this charm.
ing flower could give only the de-
light that It affords the children,
well would its mission be fulalled.
1t may be that it is only a weed, but
In the time Of its coming and the
sentiment IT inspires It may be num-
bered among the choicest of ma
lures gifts. No weed-puller will
disturb the b~uttercup.
This beautiful little flower is
sometimes known as the butter
flower. sometimes as the golden cup
and sometimes as the kingcup. But,
~buttercup Is. the most appropriate
and may it ever be known by that
name. Indeed, what better desig-
nation can there be when 1t is vlr-
Itually a tiny cup OF butter. the in
ner side Of its cup shaping petals
being SO d~elicately vanished with
gold and containing a cluster of yell
low. mysterious something as
instantly to convey the i'm
preston and spontaneously to bring
forth its name as such. What is a
paltry kings cup compared to this,
anyway?

.NaIH
thste aad tdat that Ii moi his arstl
experience The Telegram Is also
advised from the same source that
ehtg associate Who gave the name OF
1HrnIe MaxmslB OF West Onion, Is
also well known" The advice fails
to state WHO the woman is or.
whether she gave her correct name.
It appears from the same advice
that there Is a young lady of that
name there whose character is above
reproachs Under such ctrcum-
stances II seems to the Telegram
that in justice to the innocent
the real mama Of the guilty party
should have been given in the ad-
vice.
The advice says further in con-
nection with what the alleged Howe
and the woman have been doing that
the respectable citizens Of this town
do not intend to tolerate such con-
duct by these parties. One warning
|bya bunch Of wtthes has been found
at Mr.. Rowe's door. A repetition Of
this kind viii bring without any
further warning a good warm suit
to each of these parties such as the
geese wear"
The real name Of the woman in
the case should be given in justice
to the Miss Maxwell the Telegram
advlces completely exOnerate. There
is no reason why any woman guilty
of what was charged against her.
and especially one using the name
OF an innocent woman, should not
have her identity heralded.

A Splendid Beginning.

A most agreeable and happy stu
alton exists in regard to the contests
for the Republican nominations for
state Offices in West Virginia, in
view of which the Huntington Her
ald-Dispatch scents a victory for the
party at the fall election. Says that
newspaper:
Three candidates for governor
and numerous opposing candidates
for other offices for which nomina-
lions will be made in the Republican
primary to be held on June 4, have
now been active before the people OF
the state for six weeks. In this con-
nection 1t Is gratifying to note that
there is a positive absence OF bitter
ness, and in evidence everywhere a
disposition to fairness and digntied
conduct"
What the dispatch says Is
true and the Telegram agrees with
It on the proposition that this condI-
ton OF affairs should be made to
continue until the battle is over, yes,
even until the election is v The
Telegram also agrees with the con-
clusion OF the Huntington newspa-
per that victory is certain in this
event, as follows:
"one thing is certain: If the Re-
publicans will continue as they have
begun; II they will go on into the
primary, vote for their men, and
abide the result as they now prom
Use to do. no power. whether Demo-
cratic money, Democratic brains or
Democratic chicanery can prevent
their winning a complete victory
a victory which will restore the leg
islature, retrieve congressional
losses, and prevent the Democratic
party from mortgaging control Of
the state government for twenty-five
years to come"
The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1912-05-10

Democratic newspapers that are
now very busy showing how the
cost Of living is to be reduced when
Congress passes the half cent and
three cent coinage bill, will, in that
event, be forced to reduce the price
Of their product to half a cent. BY
that time, however, they will doubt
less discover that something else is
needed to reduce the cost Of living.

Roosevelt,s Tarifr Record.

In his customary demagogic way.
MI. Roosevelt criticises the president
for having signed the Payne4Aldrich
tariff bill, and Mr.. Roosevelt's de-
Iuded followers have been made to
believe that Mr.. Roosevelt is a real
tarif reformer and would never
have permitted the Payne-Aldrich
bill to become a law. Mr.. Roosevelt
was in the White House for nearly
eight years. During that time he
had abundant opportunity to revise
the tarif. He made no effort to do
so. During all those eight years
he never opened his mouth on the
tariff. Like many other questions,
he left it as a legacy to his success
or.
There is a hitherto unknown chap
ter in Mr.. RooseveltTs tariff record.
1t exhibits him in a light that is
Characteristic of him. 1t shows him
lodging and running rather. than
facing a fight.
In one of Mr.. Roosevelt's annual
messages he said that later he would
communicate with Congress by a
special message on the subject of the
tariff. The message was printed at
the government printing office and
given to the press association for dis
tribution to the newspapers they
serve. The reader unfamiliar with
the machinery Of newspaper making
may be interested to know that the
annual messages of the president
ire printed several days in advance
Of their presentation to Congress,
and the press association, as a mat
ter OF convenience, send them to the
newspapers, who hold them in con-
fdence. until they are laid before
the two Houses. This particular
message contained the paragraph
stating that the president would
later send a special message to Con-
gress on the tariff. A few days be-
fore the message was read in CON
gress the press associations SEN a
notice to all Of their clients inform
ing them that the paragraph refer
ring to the special message on the
tariff was to be cut out, as the press
associations had given their pledge
to the president that none of the
papers they served would make any
mention Of the paragraph in the
original message or the subsequent
instructions to omit it from the mes
sage as it appeared in the newspa-
pers; and this pledge waB scrupu-
lousy kept.
This is Mr.. R~oosevelt's tariff rec
ord-a promise tc communicate
with Congress on the subject of the
tariff, then a reputation of that
promise, then an appeal to the press
Of the country to shield him. II
nearly eight years he summoned up
courage enough to write the word
tariff once, and then he ran away
from 1t in an abject terror.
On the other hand President Taft
sent a tariff message to Congress as
as he vas inaugurated and he is
sticking to his job, with the result
that Congress now has before 1t al
report from the tarif board scien-
tidicalIy prepared, which will enable
Congress for the first time in the

Thompson. the NIachlnist.

1t will not be very long until a
state Convention Of Democrats will
be held to nominate a state ticket
"a convention the Telegram says in
spite Of the hypocrtticaI claim Of
Democratic legislators and press
that the party actually favors a pri-
mary election law. In view Of the
fact that such convention is near at
hand, it is rather remarkable that
the party has only one avowed can
didate for the nomination for gov
eminent. That candidate is William
r. Thompson, of Huntington. 9th
ers were mentioned months ago,
merely so to see what they were
worth before the rank and file. Pop
ular protests caused those others to
seek refuge behind the walls of not
running. Then the machine got
busy with the manipulation OF
George / Neal. of Huntington, that
original" Governor Harmon man
for president, william R. Thompson
"a groomed for the race that prom
Used to go by default from the Dem
ocratic state machine viewpoint.
The machine knew it had to have an
entraHt to have a chance to win the
nomination purse and that is one
reason why it finally conferred on
Thompson. Other reasons are best
told by Democratic newspapers
themselves. For instance, one Of
these newspapers makes the follow
ing explanation:
Boss ruled. ring ridden, the ques-
ton that confronts the actual DEM
ocratic voters is will the Democratic
party, upon the eve OF a glorious
victory, be sacrificed upon the altar
of the personal ambition Of Clarence
W. Watson and the smaller Office
seekers of the party, or does the
party have men in 1t who are large
enough and broad enough and hon
est enough to sink into oblivion
their personal aspirations and give
US candidates whose coats are clean
and against whom not even a breath
of machine rule hovers."
And another Democratic newspa-
per in speaking of MT. Thompson
and telling why he a entered
says:
"He is a machine man. and the
machine is back Of him in his fight
for the nomination for governor.
Everybody knows that he has the
support Of the differentiation
- " No man who is backed
by and in sympathy with that dirty
gang can possibly be elected govern
or this fall on the Democratic
And that fact had Just as
well be forcibly emphasized right
now. -" We can not for a moment
believe that the thousands OF indie
pendent voters in this state will
cast their ballots for a man who ia
as closely identified with the Demo-
machine OF the state as is Mr..
Thompson.
III the Democrats want to carry
this state they must nominate for
governor one OF their very strongest
men, and William r. Thompson Is
certainly not one OF them"
