Governor Woodrow Wilson S
consistency is being assailed by
the multi millionaire newspaper
owner William Alsorandolph
Hearst.
Ye gods and little fishes
When this political chameleon
undertakes to preach party regu-
arity, it reminds straight Demo-
Gratis of the devil rebuking sin.
1t is suspicious circumstance
that a we'll financed anti-Wilson
bureau is trying to befoul Demo
cratic waters by sending copy to
newspapers assailing Governor
Wilson in the most unfair and
vicious manner and publishing
ex parte extracts from his writ
ings, which, without the context,
might be contorted to the advan-
tage of such other aspirants as
may care to avail themselves of
such contemplate methods.
Those who now bring charges
of change of position on questions
of government, might we'll be re-
minded that Wise men change
their minds, fools never and
that Governor Wilson's Democ-
racy has stood the acid test of
public discussion and approval.
No rinkind word has been said
by the Wilson supporters of other
Democratic candidates for the
Presidency. Harmon, Clark, I'm
derwood; all are conceded to be
honorable men and good Demo
Gratis. Why is it that the venom
of the trust controlled city press
should be poured out in an effort
to stem the tide of Wilson's pop
ularity, which is rapidly sweep
ing him towards the White
House,
The answer is not hard to find.
The bosses know that they cannot
use him if elected, and they know
that as President he will be as in
dependent of corrupt control, as
he has been as Governor of New
Jersey.
Moreover, he is a man who is
able to do his own thinking and
to act on his convictions without
the Intervention of smooth politi-
clans who so greatly fear his as
cendancy that throughout the
country they are straining every
nerve to prevent the people from
expressing their preference ex-
cept by machine manipulated
methods.
If those advocating the nomina-
ton of other candidates will join
with Mr.. Wilson in the request
that the people be allowed to pass
directly on their candidates, the
party organizations every where
will be bound to submit to this
popular demand.
Governor Wilson'S campaign
managers have offered to. throw
open their books showing the ex-
act sources of each contribution.
Whence comes the food of
money opposing his candidacy ?
Will those directing its expendi-

Brewers and Anarchy.
-Charlestorl, w. Va.

CharleSrons wa.
Hon. w. G. Conley. Attorney Gener-
al of West Virginia, last January, sent
out q list of questions to the various
prosecuting attorneys throughout the
state asking the following questions:
l. To what extent are the revenue
laws in your county enforced
If they are not enforced, kindly
give reason.
8. Give brief staten ent of the re-
suit of such enforcement or non enforce
ment during the calend II year 1911.
stating the nature of each case.
Returns have been received from a
large part of the counties. 1t appears
that the local prohibition laws have
been fairly well enforced but that
the prohibition districts have the usual
troubles of all prohibition districts con-
tlguous to wet" territory.
A curious situation was develope as
to the city of Elkins which is in a dry"
county. While the county is dry.
there is brewery located there operat-
ing under state license and over which
the local authorities have no control
It appears from the report Of Prose
cutting Attorney 81. C. hump that DUR
ing the year, this brewery was convict
ed Of violations of the liquor law 1877
times, in fifty of which the brewery
paid fine and costs. In the other lat
cases, sentence was suspended on prom
Use of good behavior.
It appears that this single licensed
brewery has been convicted Of more
crimes against the liquor laws than all
the people in ell Of the Prohibition dis
tricts combined.
It is the breweries of the state that
are opposing statewide Prohibition.
These folks will not even obey the laws
of their own making. Presbyterian

Will Of the Late Joseph TrapneII.

The will of the late Joseph Trapnell
was fled for probate with the County
Clerk this week. Under the original
will, dated September 26, 1876, the en-
tire estate was left to Mrs. Trapneh for
life, an equal division of the property
to be made among the children at her
death. A codicil, dated September Is,
1910, modifes the terms of the will in
that the entire estate is devised to Mrs.
Trapnell absolutely.
