NEWS NOTES
From the Nations Capital, Of Interest TO
West Yirginians.
(By George w. Summers)

The supporters of President
Taft and former President Roose-
welt for the nomination this year
have already begun calling names
and accusing each other of var
ious kinds of crookedness.and cor
rupt politics. Senator Dixon who
is managing the Roosevelt cam
paign wrote to Congressman
Mckinly, representing President
Taft, and demanded that presi-
dental preference primaries be
held throughout the country. At
the time he wrote a large num-
Der of delegates pledged to Pres
ident Taft had been selected, and
conventions had been called in
numerous states. Mckinley s re-
ply was that he did not like to
change the rules of the game
while the game was in progress.
Senator Dixon came back with
the statement that he wanted Ito
eliminate marked cards and load
ed dice" He added MIR. Roose-
welt and his supporters will not
tolerate the tricks and receptions
and fraud which are inseperable
from the kind of politics your
Characterization implies. You
seriously cannot expect the voters
to tolerate a condition of this
kind, to vote supinely to elect a
man who has been forced upon
them by booss-controlled office
holding machine" Senator Dix
on surely did not have West Vir-
ginia in mind when he made this
statement, for there never was a
more powerful boss in West Vir-
ginia politics than w. M. o. Daw-
son, the leader Of the Roosevelt
campaign in that state. Ii is true
the Roosevelt boom in West Viz
glnia is not managed by an Office
holding machine, so far as the
federal offices are concerned. But
it is "boss-controlled" and is an
ofiiceholding machine so far as
the state administration can make
it. The Taft campaign in West
Virginia is also boss-controlled
and managed by an officeholding
machine. Senator Dixon is right
in saying it cannot be expected
that the voters will tolerate a
condition of this kind, but so far
as West Virginia is concerned he
is wrong in assuming that the
Roosevelt campaign is less free
from bossism and the influences
of an ofiiceholding machine than
is the Taft campaign.

more speed from the little child

more speed from the little child
rem.
In the committee room sat
some of the mill children. They
were fresh from the mill, and a
mere glance at them told more
than spoken volumes could tell.
All had pinched faces, All were
poorly dressed, some of them
having only a cheap sweater in
lieu of coat and overcoat. Most
of them had dull, expressionless
faces, in which no trace of color
or animation was to be found.
All of them, moreover, were
slightly deaf, because of their
work amid the fearful clatter of
the mill machinery, so that at
times the committee members
almost had to shout to make
themselves heard. All the child
rem looked worn and old, as
though they had they had been
speeded up beyond the limit of
endurance.
These children revealed as
nothing else could reveal, that
they and the American people are
being cheated by Schedule K.
They stood as living proof against
the theory that if the American
consumers are willing to pay a
heavy tariff tax on wooden goods,
the manufacturers will divide
their profits and prosperity with
the workers in the wooden indus
try. Under Schedule X the peo-
pie are being tariff taxed for the
benefit of few millionaire wool
en- trust magnates, and not for
the benefit of the workers in the
wooden industry.
Now that you know the truth,
MIR. Reader what are you going
to do about it? If you do not
know just what action to take to
make your feeling in the matter
effective. here is a suggestion:
You can vote against the party
that framed Schedule X, and for
the party that is pledged to re-
duce the tariff on woolens aim ost
one half.
ROOSEVELT WOULD DODGE TARIFF
There is every indication that
former President Roosevelt in
tends to avoid the tariff issue.
In recent statement from M.
Roosevelt's headquarters in New
York it was declared he would
rest his case with the people on
the issues he raised in his Column
bus speech" where he ignored
the tariff coml letely. Just how
Mr.. Roosevelt proposes to relieve
the people from paying tribute
to the tariff trusts on practically
every thing they buy, is a mys-
terry for which the former presi-
dent has offered no explanation.
Heretofore, Col. Roosevelt has
been a staunch Aldrich, Penrose,
Smoot man on the tariff, and
since their viewpoint on the tariff
is not particularly popular at this
juncture, Mr.. Roosevelt evident
ly has decided it would be polite
to keep quiet on the subject.

in important matters of national

have done before in any session
Of Congress. Congressman Davis

The knowledge of parliamenta-
ry law acquired by Congressman
Hamilton while he was clerk of
the West Virginia House of Del
egates and his general knowledge
of legislative practice were Of
great assistance to him last Fri
day when the filibuster took
place in opposition to the omni-
bus pension bill carrying pensions
for 292 persons, of which he was
in charge. From shortly after
noon until $50 O'Clock at night
Mr.. Hamiltun led the fight in be-
half of his bill against the oppo-
sition and dilatory practice of
about half a dozen men who were
the only ones in the House OPP
posed to the bill. His manage
ment of the bill was regarded by
his colleagues as showing great
ability as a leader and familiari-
ty with the rules of the House.
1t took some time but he got the
bill through.

Preliminary surveys looking to
the locking and dammine of five
West Virginia Rivers are ordered
to be made by the river and har-
Dor bill which was reported to the
House few days ago. The bill
provided that surveys be made
for the tug fork of Big Sandy
River; the New River from Rad
ford, Va. to Hinton; Coal River
from its mouth to Boone; Elk
River from it's mouth to Clay and
the Little Kanawha from Creston
to the head of practicable naviga-
ton. All this work is to be un-
dertaken in addition to the Ohio
River for which the bill carries
an appropriation of more than
six million dollars to be expended
entirely within the state of West
Virginia.

most active members Of the Com

passes upon all pension matters
growing out of the Civil War.
He was made floor manager of
the omnibus pension bill, which

successfully fought a fillibuster,
conducted by Representative
Rodenbury of Georgia, which car
ried the session far into the night.
His management of the bill
brought him many compliments.
