AS TO PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES

The I~ntelligencer is in receipt OF a
communication from a prominent Re.
publican asking II to advise the Repub-
hcan State committee to call a state
wide presidential primary in West
Virginia. While the Intelligencer be-
lieves thoroughly in primaries, as op-
posed to massed conventions and COM
mittee selections. IL Toes not now and
has never believed in the efficacy of a
state wide primary. IL is opposed to
the state wide primary for the NOM
fnation OF state officials. IL favored
a magisterial district primary 10 be
held in every magisterial district In
the state On the same day for the pur
pose OF nominating delegates to a
state conventions; and 1t continues TO
believe that that is the safest method
OF nominating candidates.
In Ohio county at least. this seems
to be the sentiment OF the majority Of
the Republicans. The Ohio county
Republican committee memoriallzed
the state committee in favor OF a mag.
i%sterial district primary. as opposed
to a state wide primary. The Ohio
county committee also set a Mise ex-
ample to other county committees by
calling a magisterial district primary
In Ohio county for the purpose OF de-
termining the choice OF Ohio county
as between Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Roose-
welt. The various county committees
are able TO settle this question and
they should settle IL. The state com
mittee has already assumed a great
deal more power han IL ought 20
have assumed. Let the various county
committees OF West Virginia follow
the example OF Ohio county and con
duct fair and orderly primaries in
their " counties. giving to every
Republican voter an opportunity 70
vote for and instruct his representa-.
tives in both the congressional and
state conventions. and we need have
no serious fear % The outcome.

judicial work. The judgeship OF the
First judicial circuit is no sinecure.
IL is a position that requires hard
work The man who takes It must
be strong both mentally and phys
icaliy. He must be versed in the law.
he must have a judicial temperament,
and he must be willing to burn the
midnight oil. Mr.. Krupp's friends
and associates believe that he meets
these requirements.

TO PAINT BUILDING
Board Of Commissioners and Board
Of Control Will Paint City and
County Building.

When the board OF commissioners
met yesterday morning the matter OF
the painting OF the county building
was taken UP and 1t was decided such
action was necessary. insofar as the
exterior was concerned. The clerk
vas instructed to notify the board OF
control OF this action so that the board
can take similar action. II is Gus
tomary. as both the city and county
governments occupy the building 10

form. II is not difficult to weigh
these ~pretentions and TO estimate their
true value. They are put out for pre-
convention consumption. The mer
who put them out do not monopolize
all the political honesty in West Viz
ginia. Neither do they monopolIze
the confidence of the Republican
voters. So far the actions OF vari.
committees all over the state indi
cate that there will be a far much
more general popular expression In the
selection OF delegates to the conven
ton than vas the rule in either 1906
or 1904.

So Art wired to New York and
Philly, and alas and alack the an

Tango, Gaby Glide, New Bos-

"That settles it." said Meeker
virtuously. eff it was too strong
for them it's too strong for Chi
cago, and those debutantes will
just have to lump it.
So.Art called the committee to-
gether, and put it to- them fiat,
and the Tango died a hasty death
so far as the assembly ball is con-
.cerned.
There is fine, large, healthy
howl going up from the young
things-looking- for-husbands, and
you can't very well blame them.
Here they've been practicing on
that Tango thing for weeks, TAX
ing special lessons, and buying
special corsets just specially for
the assembly ball because the as
sembiy ball is the big hunt of the
year for the young-things-look-
ing-for-husbands.
And now they can't have it, be-
cause Art Meeker has decided it
is immoral, or words to that eff

THE PROPER VIEW

At the time of the famous criminal trial in Richmond, Va, when a young man named Beattie was convicted and subsequently, executed for murder ing his wife, the publisher of the Richmond Evening Journal were in- dicted in the United States court for having printed and circulated through the mails certain testimony. that was brought out in the course of the trial, says the New Orleans Picayune. The case against the Journal recently came up before Judge Edmond Wad- dill, of the United States Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. The judge. quashed the indictment, and in doing so gave judgement at length in the course of which he held that reputable newspaper is clearly with in itsirights in publishing reports of test kSony taken in an open court during the progress of judicial trials. He also holds that the part of the testimony appearing in the Journal and complained of by the government was not of suggestive nature and the; effect of it's publication would be corrective rather than have ten
 dency to moral degradation. The opinion says, in part: Tt shall not be lightly assumed that reputable newspapers would purposely wish to publish the disseminate through the mails what would be destructive to social order. The delicacy of the subject and the great desirability of maintaining the efficiency and purity of the mall and the necessity that the freedom of the press shall at all times be preserved make it manifest that in considering this particular class of attractions, or supposed in- fractions, of the law, those having to administer the same should be actuat- ed by the highest sense of justice and right tc all. The guarantee of free dom of the press was granted, not alone because of the necessity there for for its protection, but that there by many of those dearest and most essential rights and rriveleges of the citizen might be assured and pro tected." Evidently the judge is not one of those whose real desire is to muzzle the silence the press and who would strain the Constitution and violate the laws to do so.

WHY LAWYERS GO TO
 HEAVEN AND

Why lawyers go to Heaven or rather why they don't go elsewhere is explained in the following lines, which were given the Graphic yes terday by Judge M. A. Austin, who is proud of his profession and who for thirty years has been proml- nent member of the bar: The devil came to earth one day, And into courtroom took his way, Just as lawyer, with very grave face Was proceeding to argue the points
 in case. Now a lawyer his Majesty never had
 been; 'Tis the fault of my agents" his
 Majesty thought, That none of these lawyers has ever
 been caught And for his own pleasure he had felt
 desire To come to the earth and the reason
 inquire. Now, when the first lawyer had
 come to close, The counsel opposing him fearlessly
 rose, And heaped such abuse on the head
 of the first, That he made him william, of all
 men the worst. Each claimed he was right and the
 other was wrong. They spared and contended and argu-
 ed so long, That, concluding he'd enough of the
 fuss, "Old Nick" turned away, and solilo-
 quized thus; They have puzzled the court with
 their villainous cavil, And I am free to confess they have
 puzzled the devil. My agents were right; let lawyers
 alone. If had them, they'd euchre me out
 of my home."
