Urging the national annual Budget"
and the application OF scientific busi-

ficlency." 's'Ht9
With the message is a report of

congress threatens to decapitate.
President Taft, in urging the con-
tinuatlon commission with the annual
appropriation of two hundred thou
sand dollars says the reforms already
made will save two million dollars an.
nually.
Il sincerely hope,r Taft says: that
Congress in its anxiety to reduce the
expenditures will not economize hu
cutting off the appropriation which IS
likely to offer greater opportunity for
real economy
This country is' the only great ma
tion without an annual Budget" the
President declares, taEE3tl

PARKERsBURG, W. Va. Jan. H.
In the late fall of last year, at Pine
vile, the county seat of Wyoming
county. Senator William +. Chiffon
delivered a speech in which he issued
q vigorous challenge, If not indeed,
both an mpudent and imprudent de-
tiancc, to the Republican party of this
State 10 30 ahead, and rs far as II
liked, and investigate the manner in
which he and Senator Clarence w.
Watson secured their election to the
Senate Of the United States.
The week following mat speech
now grown to be historically famous
in our West Virginia politics, Govern
or William Z. Glasscock, on his way
to Fairmont, stopped off here between
trains, and gave me an interview.
which, likewise has become an import
ant document in our current political
history, and seems now certain to
have It's Importance immeasurably en-
hanced
Taken as Challenge,
In that interview Governor Glass.
cock picked up the Pmevllle speech OF
Chiffon, and stated that lie construed
it to be blunt challenge to the Re.
publican party, and as, such, he, as
the titular head Of the party in this
State, accepted it. He said that the
charges that Watson and Chiffon had
secured their election by purchasing
dishonest members Of the legislature
would be thoroughly investigated by
the proper tribunal" BY this, it was
accepted without question that Gov.
ernor Glasscock meant the United
States Senate.
From the time OF that interviewlI
nothing was done about the matter so
far as the public was informed. oc'I
caslonally, an editor here and there
would refer to it, recalling the Glass.
cock promise to the public, and child.

about; getting his case in such formid-
able shape that it would have sub.

sented before "tlie proper tribunal
for its deliberate consideration.
