the rREAsuReR's SALARY.

The interests of the township of
Calumet and it's taxpayers will be best
conserved by voting on Monday against
the repeal of the Local Act relative to
the salary of the township treasurer
The question at issue is simple
one. 1t is merely: us $500 per year
enough for an official who can hire
the required three months work CDe-
cember. January and February done
for $500?
II appears TO The News to be a
one sided question. with the argument
all in favor OF the present law fixing
the salary at $500 per year, or at the
rate OF $500 per month for the time ac-
tually put in. 1t strikes us that the
good. common sense of the voters will
not permit the repeal of the Act.
To repeal the Act would be to give
the treasurer $4,000 per year; to which
he would ne entitled under the~fee sys-

EoR SCIENTIFIC REvlsloN.

Both President Taft and eN-Presi-
dent Roosevelt favor scientific revision
of the tarin as opposed to the OLE
guesswork method which has beer
adopted by the Democrats. Before the
present tariff board was created there
was no adequate knowledge of what
the conditions of production were al
home and abroad. Congress- which
framed the tariff measures. had nc
comprehensive knowledge of manu-
featuring costs or OF relative circum-
stances. This the tarif board has sup

II is the business OF the board tC
frame the new tarin. II concerns
itself with figures. not at all with
principles. The protection theory
what is to be the tariff relation he
tween American production and for
cign production. is entirely in th'
hands of Congress. The board does
however. supply the necessary infor-
nation to enable Congress TO act.
The tariff board has proved its val

THE TREWTT LETTER EXPOSED.

A few months ago the newspapers
OF this state were agitated over the
publication OF letter purported to
have been written by one c. l.. Ire.
Witt OF Washington, ID. C., to various
newspapers. Mr.. Trevitt seriously
proposed TO the recipients OF the let.
ter TO buy their space at a liberal
price. TO be used against the adoptlon
OF the prohibition amendment. The
letter was so bold and bore so many
earmarks OF fraud. that the Interi.
gencer at that time declared It's opin-
Ion that the whole proposition was
fraud. that Trevitt was not the rep
resentative OF any interest opposing
the prohibition amendment. and that
the intent and purpose OF the letter
were simply 60 dlscredit such
papers as might be foolish

them as an evidence OF an effort on
the part Of the liquor interests IN

ter found It's way to Golfers Maya

upon Il in that vein. Now observe
the sequel.
A thorough investigation has been
made and IN rs Issue Of Sept 5. Col.

initiated their campaign in this state
by the circulation of a deliberate
falsehood and the preparation of
contemplate trick unworthy even of
a fourth-rate ward politician. The
more serious aspect OF this case is
furnished by the fact. that at a public
meeting in the City of Huntington
sometime after the publication Of the
letter, Rev. T. NJ. Hare. then active in
the anti-saloon movement and Rev. ID.
NJ. l.. Wood. pastor OF the First Ave
nue. Baptist church of Huntington.
both asserted positively that they
knew Trevitt TO be in the employ OF
the liquor interests and on their in.
dividual words of honor guaranteed
the authenticity OF Trevitt's letter. In
other words both OF these reverend
gentlemen. either through ignorance
or malice. vouched for a deliberate
falsehood and fraud.
Certainly the Trevitt letter has not
particular bearing upon the merits or
dement's OF the prohibition amend
ment so far as West Virginia is con-
cerned; but 1t is a matter of regret.
that men who are supposed to be en-
gagged in a moral movement. cannot
conduct their campaign without re-
sorting to indecent and dishonorable
methods.

who is not member Of any medical
society. The criticism OF the Medi
cal Journal might seem TO be i'll
founded, and doubtless there are
many competent physicians who are
not members OF their local or state
medical societies. On the other
hand. however. Il Is a sound arll-
ment that a physician who does not
feel sufficient interest In his profess
sion. TO associate himself with other
members Of his profession for pur-
pose OF selfimprovement and the fur
therance OF scientific knowledge. Is
not likely 10 be the kind OF a man
who should be placed at the head OF

Undoubtedly the members OF the
