Record Of Woods.

Sam Woods, Democratic candidate
for the gubernatorial nomination,
does not appeal to the rank and file
of the Democratic party and the
more the light is turned on his rec
ord the deeper the resentment to-
ward those who are trying to foist
him on the people of this state as
their chief executive.
From a viewpoint generally APP
proved by the rank and file, the
West Union Record, a Democratic
newspaper, discusses the Woods can
didacy as follows and it certainly
does throw the fashlight on with
effect:
's Sam Woods's record in the last
Legislature is just about as bad
from Democratic standpoint as is
that Of any of the most unDemo-
cratic members of that body. He
was d superserviceable and plant
tool of the corporate interests dur
ing his legislative service, and after
the defeat of John T. McGraw in
the senatorial caucus he was found
on nearly every occasion on the
side of the Chiltons and MasCorkles,
and the Watson-McKinney gang of
Fairmont.
The defeat of the income tax res
olution was due to the bitter fight
made against it by Samuel V. Woods.
He fought and defeated that Demo-
cratic measure Notwithstanding the
fact that the Democratic party for
the last sixteen years has declared
its fealty to- the justice and right
eousness OF a federal income tax.
And in every political campaign for
more than twenty years prior to his
election to the state senate Sam
Woods had made speeches, and
never once in any of his speeches
during all those years did we ever
hear of his denouncing the income
tax. We feel safe in saying that the
first public speech he ever made in
which he opposed the income tax
was in the senate chamber at
Charleston last winter.
Sam Woods can not be elected
governor of West Virginia. He
would be defeated by at least 10000

From the foregoing IT would appear
that every leading country except the
United States had in 1910 smaller
part in the foreign trade of Cuba than
in 1900, while during the same period
marked increase occurred both in
the share which we supplied Of the
total imports into, and share which
we took of the exports from Cuba.

cloths to Cuba were but little more
than a quarter million dollars, while
last year they were valued at one and
two-thirds million. OF lard the ex-
ports to Cuba have increased from
one and one-half to four million dol

from two to four million dollars; of
corn, from two-thirds million to one
and one-half million dollars; of veg

and one-half million dollars; picked
or sailed pork, from one-quarter to
three-quarter million dollars; and BIZ
luminous coal, from one and one
fourth to two and three-quarter mil

representatives of the growth which
has occurred in many other articles,
such as milk, chemicals and medi-
cines. fertilizers, furniture, paper
manufacturers, mineral oils, and
scientific instruments, the exports of

Not only is the United States in
creasing It's trade with Cuba, but it
is supplying a larger share of the
commerce of that island than ever
before. In the calendar year 1910,
according to the official figures of that
island, the United States supplied
52.5 per cent of the imports, compared
with 53.s per cent in 1900, and Ala
per cent in 1903, the year Immediately
preceding reciprocity; and Of the ex-
ports from Cuba in 1910 S5.S per cent

against sixty-eight per cent in 1900

and copper ore are the items next in
Importance, with importations rang

million dollars annually.
On the export side, our trade with
Cuba covers a much larger range of
articles, chiefly manufactures and
various food products, such as flour
and other breadstuffs, meats, lard and
lard compound, eggs, and coffee. Iron
and steel manufactures head the list,
having grown from two and one-half
million dollars in 1908 to eight mil
lion in 1907 and approximately twelve
million in the year just ended. Under
this head are included locomotives
and other machinery, wire, pipes and
fittings, steel rails, builders hardware
and numerous other articles. Boots
and shoes have sextupled in value of
exports since 1903, having risen from
one-half million dollars value in that

Trying to be what one is not is a
very difacult task even with the
most serpentile hypocrite as evi.
denced by the fact that while So
cialists are ranting against and con
demning the courts generally and
declaring opposition and destruction
to the country's Judiciary system
one Of them gets on the following
in discoursing a local court action:
'If the litigants are within the
law, they will not be robbed Of their
stock or feeGed of their rights"
Thus in; an unguarded moment,
the court. denouncer and the Law
fault finder overlooked bet to
prejudice the populace against
courts, law and order, and, not only
defends the law but expresses conf
dence in the courts.
This act on his part should be
sufficient ground, Judging from his
customary harangues against the
law and the courts, to e1pel him
from the Socialist party, and II
probably would result in that were

sire to get into political power. AS

.istic utterance. is permitted by that
party to deviate from the faith" as
widely as it wants to to accomplish
political elevation. While Socialism
as shown by its record is an avowed
enemy OF American institutions,
such as stable laws and the courts,
founded on the constitution adopted
by the forefathers, its advocates
and representatives are at perfect
liberty to violate and abrogate its
pronouncements, if in that they can
warp the public mind to their own
advantage.
AS fxity Socialism as practiecd
by some OF its local advocates at
least is extremely ridiculous. They
bend it at VIII to the point of COM
pound fracture, and one can hear
the old thing crack louder than the
jaw bone Of an ass in a bone-dust
mill hopper; but whole or cracked

Since Reciprocal Relations
Were Established with
That Country.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27-Trade
of the United States with Cuba in the
year just ended aggregated 1853 mil
lion dollars, having more than doubt
ed during the reciprocity period, The
exports to the island, according to
the figures of the Bureau of Statistics,
Department of Commerce and Labor,
were about sixty-two million dollars
in value, having trebled under reci-
procity period. The reciprocity
agreement with Cuba went into effect
December 81, 1903, the exports from
the United States to that island in
that year having been twenty-three
and one-half million dollars, against
sixty-two million in 1911, and the
imports therefrom fifty-seven and one
quarter million dollars, against log
million in 1911.
The increase in imports from Cuba
during the decade has occurred chiefly
in sugar and leaf tobacco though in
the case of sugar shortage in the
crop of last year caused material
decline in the imports when compared
with the Immediately preceding year.
In 1910 sugar from Cuba totaled
1878 million pounds with a value of
over 100 million dollars; in 1911,
about S.199 million pounds, valued at
a little over seventy-six million dol
lars; in 1908, Just prior to the rect-
procity period, the total was 1894
million pounds, valued at thirty-seven
and one-half million dollars. Leaf to-

election senatorial election declared
that ''the only political matter COM
Ing before the next legislature will
be the election of senator"
If that be true, there certainly is
no good reason for Democratic CON
ventions and campaign speakers to
appeal to the voters of the state to
send DEMOCRATS to the legislature,
and 1t is to be inferred that Demo-
cratic platforms are useless, mere
toys, and are not a base for legisla-
tive work. If so, the matter re-
solves itself into question of elect
ing a senator exclusively, and the
only way to elect Democratic SEN
ator is to have Democratic legis-
lature. Accepting all this as true it
must be concluded that Senator
Watson believes that the people will
be satisfied with Democrat for SEN
ator, 1t matters not who or what he
is. 4'
With there being no politics to
come before. the next Legislature ex.
cept the senatorship, the Demo-
cratic party, according:to the watson
declaration. must confne its cam.
paign argument to, telling the voters
that asUnited States senator is to be
elected and the Democratic party
wants him to be Democrat. That
is the only issue the Democrats
could present, If Senator Watson is
right in saying that it is the only
political matter to come before the
next legislature. He himself does not
say it is an overshadowing issue but
he does say that it is the only issue.
7 It is|not at all, then, a question
as to who should be senator, or
what senatorial candidates stand
for, but simply that he is called a
Democrat. There is fear that If the
names of the candidates and what
they stand for we're to be made
known before the general election
the voters of the state would
cast their votes so that even a
Democrat in name only could not
get to the senate. So, it is sug-
gested that the landlord Of hotel
invite all his guests into the lobby
and have them send the walters out
to bring the supper in and then vote
after the walters have gone for the
supper as to what they will have
for supper.
Under such, circumstances the

selves with most any old stew. and

The Record Stands.

In commenting on United States
Senator Norris Browns recent adj
dress to the Indiana Republican Ed
itorial Association, in which address
the senator argues strongly that
Taftfs splendid presidential achieve
ments entitle him to denomination,
the Pittsburg Gazette-Times declares
that Mr.. Taft should be given credit
for what he has done and that it is
quite unfair for supporters OF other
candidates, real and imaginary, to try
to behttle the Presidents record in
their excessive zOaf for the men they
advocate. The point is we'll taken.
In the presidential race, the facts
should be allowed to stand as they
are and blind partisanship should not
be allowed to misrepresent them.
Says the Gazette-Times:
Always, when the people come to
choose President, there is differ
enceso Of opinion as to the party nom
inee. EThat is natural and to be ex-
pected. That some Republicans should
prefer another to Mr.. Taft for leader
ship in this years campaign is not in
every instance to the Presidents dis
paragement. But it is repugnant to
the true spirit of Republicanism and
fair play in that partisans of other
aspirants for the Chicago nomination
so out of their way to belittle his
services to the country. There may
be basis for misgiyings as to the wis
dom of his candidacy, or his capacity
for vote-getting under existing cir
cumstances. On these points there is
room for argument. 1t is, however,
distinctly not true that he has fallen
short of'his opportunities and respon-
sibilities as an executive. AS Senator
Brown reminds his hearers, Mr.. Taft
has been genuinely progressive in the
best meaning of that term, and no
sincere Republican, no matter what
his preference may be, can with
good grace deny to the President full
