THE managers of the passenger traffic
of the eastern railroads announce that
hereafter there will be no concessions in
passenger fares Of any sort below the
two cent rate, with the exception OF sum-
mer rates to the seashore and through
rates from East to West. No matter how
important a gathering or convention,
there will be nothing doing in cheap fares.
The public would probably accept this
without protest if the railroads would do
the right thing and put all passenger fares,
general or special, long or short, on the
two cent basis, which is really ample for
legitimate profits.

THE Hon. Adam Brown Littlepage, the
enterprising and original Congressman
from the third district, has introduced
into Congress a bill providing that no
government license to sell liquor shall be
issued to any person until such person
shall first be able TO show that he pos
sesses State license. This bill, which
is designed TO prevent the issuing of gov
ernment licenses in "dry" territory should
most certainly be passed. II would eff
f.ctively put an end to the "speakeasies"
that now disgrace so many sections and
that cause Uncle Sam to be regarded as
partner Of bootleggers.
If Mr.. Littlepage shall push this bill
with his customary vigor and ability, that
unfortunate trip to Martinsburg last sum-
mer shall be entirely forgiven.

THAT eminent and courageous apostle
OF progressiveness, Senator La Toilette,
has been carrying the war into the enc
my's country, and with great boldness
has invaded Ohio-President Taft's own
State-and preached the gospel of free
dom from corporate domination. From
the way the crowds have flocked TO hear
him, it is evident That the people are hear
ing him gladly, and though the Senator
may not reap the reward of his work by
receiving presidential nomination, it is
certain that the great cause he represents
IS being strengthened.
II is said that President Taft intends to
follow on his trail in the near future, but
we can tell him before he starts that the
people are tired OF President who makes
so many blunders and causes so many
disappointment, and whose only offset
to failures is the half-hearted admission
that he has fine judicial mind.

THE Republicans of West Virginia have
presented the names of three candidates
for Governor for this year. II. D. Hat
field, who is president ofthe State Senate,
has been put up by that faction of the
party dominated by former Senator Scott,
Messrs. Denham and Highland, the Clarks-
burg bosses, and politicians of similar
methods. DR.. Hatfield is genuine rep
resentative Of the political methods so
well-known in the "bIack belt" of West
Virginia-Mingo and Mcdowell and Mer-
Ger county, where corruption stlnks to the
highest heavens. No. 2 is Charles w.
Swisher, now OF Charleston, who is going
largely on his own hook, with the support
principally of those who wish forrevenge
on someone else. No. 3 is Charles w.
Dillon, who made good record as Tax
Commissioner, but who is the choice of
the most Infamous organization, probably,
in the State, the notorious whiskey ring
OF Fayette county.
These are the three candidates that the
Republicans, so far, have presented for
public appreciation. 1t requires dis
corning mind to make choice between
them. No wonder that SO many respect
able Republicans are anxiously awaiting
the nomination OF man that they can
conscientiously support-even if they
have to vote the Democratic ticket to do
so,

Sunday, January 7, has been set apart
by the House as day of special memoir
lal services commemorative of the late
Senator Stephen B. Elkins. Several
West Virginians are expected to take part
in the exercises.
A pleasant gathering of the Democratic
delegation of West Virginia. as il should
be, was had the other day, when the four
Democratic Congressman and Rankin
Wiley, who is contesting the election of
Congressman Hughes, all had lunch to-
gether in the House restaurant. George
|. Neal, OF Huntington, vice chairman of
the Democratic State Committee, and
Harry L. Snyder, of the Shepherdstown
Register, were also in the party.
Senator Chiffon has been looking into
the Virginia debt question quite extern
sively with view to meeting the con-
dition which has existed since the decis-
ion OF the Supreme Court that West Viz
ginia must pay at least seven million dol
lars, with the question of an additional
twenty-one million dollars as yet unde-
termined. Fle is hoping that he may
bring about some legislation which in
some way will relieve the West Virginia
taxpayers of this enormous burden.
Congressman Brown is interested in the
fight over the postmastership at Pied
mont. g. c. Gosnorn is the present
postmaster, but his term has expired and
he is endeavoring to obtain a reappoint-
ment. He spent several days in Wash
ington in his own ehalf but finds that he
will have hard fight before he can land.
Former Senator Scott, who is one of the
patronage distributors for West Virginia,
is said to favor J. F. Harrison for the
postmastership.
