1.-THE way OF the transgressor is hard. I"
Moreover, dirty money doesn't do much
good. For years Meredith ]. Simms has
been the dominating factor OF the county
court of Fayette county, this State, and
he and his associates have ruled with
despotic power. They controlled the
whiskey business and made enormous
sums OF money by the use and abuse of
their official position. Simms had a
wholesale whiskey establishment, and no
one could get license for saloon unless
the supplies were bought from his firm.
Such rottenness and graft has never been
known in West Virginia, and it seemed
impossible to dislodge the rascals. But
matters finally got so utterly bad that the
inevitable reaction set in and justice got
on the track of the grafters. Things got
to going badly for Simms. He was i'm
peached, and last week he was found
guilty of misconduct in office and sum-
marily removed. Stripped of his power,
a large part OF his fortune spent in trying
to defend himself, deserted by his for
mer friends, the victim of an incurable
malady, he is a nervous wreck and most
wretched man.
There may be temporary prosperity in
political corruption, but it doesn't pay
in the long run.

HERE and there over the country GER
tain manufacturers are threatening to re-
duce the wages OF their employees and
create business panics if the Democratic
majority in Congress dares TO deprive
them of the protection they are enjoying
under the iniquitous Payne-Aldrich bill.
Senator Williams, of Mississippi. on
Monday expressed the opinion tina tthese
makers OF false panics and disturbers OF
business ought TO be put in the peniten-
tiary, and he intimated that the law would
be invoked TO put them there if they con-
spired to intimidate Congress or to cut
wages unnecessarily.
With Senators ready TO Jail these
greedy monopoliSts, and with President
Wilson willing TO hang them as high as
Hannah, we are OF the opinion thattrouble.

when they begin their operations.

THERE seems to be most determined
opposition to Senator Kern's plan TO
have a government investigation OF con-
dltions in the Paint Creek coal regions
OF West Virginia. Governor Hatfield has
issued statement in which he bitterly
opposes any probe of this sort. and uses
very rough language toward Senator
Kern. Senator Chiffon and Senator Colt
have both declared themselves against
an investigation, and every influence
possible is being brought to bear against
il. All efforts to side track Senator
Kern, however, are taken by him as ad-
ditional reasons Tor getting at the bottom
OF the situation, and he is persistent in
his efforts 10 investigate.
For our part, we cannot see why there
should be concealment if conditions are
proper. II seems to us that il would be
retter to get at the truth. If there is op-
preston and injustice, let us know il. If
tine miners are wrong, let the facts be
made public.

DAVID ]. LEWIS, the able Congressman
from the sixth Maryland district. is per-
sistent in his efforts to increase the use
fitness of the parcel post system, and
will urge number OF important amend
ments before Congress. He says that
the present rates are exorbitant and the
weight limit ridiculous, declaring that the
government Can afford to make the parcel
post rate half cent pound for 100 miles,
with three cents added for the original
pound. One hundred pounds should be
the maximum weight, instead OF eleven
pounds, he said.
Mr.. Lewis declares that a parcel post
system of the right sort would help great
ly to decrease the high cost of living by
enabling the consumer to buy directly
from the producer, thus avoiding paying
unnecessary profits to the middlemen.
We wish that there were few more
Congressman as well informed and as
much in earnest concerning the subject
as Mr.. Lewis.

THE Underwood tariff, representing the
expression of the Democratic party on
the subject of tariff. revision. passed the
House OF Representatives last Thursday
by vote OF 2Sl to l39. Five Democrats
voted against the bill-four being Louis
lana men who opposed il because of the
reduction OF the duty on sugar, and one
New York man. Two Republicans from
Wisconsin voted for it. OF the Progress
sives, voted for it and IA opposed it.
The bill is now before the Senate. and
will be considered at length by the fl
nance committee of that body. Senator
Penrose and few other bigoted stand
patiers representing the trusts and mo-
nopolists are seeking to obstruct and de-
lay the bill, but it is not likely that they
will be able TO prevent its ultimate pass
age in satisfactory shape. II is likely
that the Senate will make some changes
in the measure, though it is not anticipat-
ed that they will be such as to detract
from its acceptability to the advocates OF
a downward revision. President Wilson
is keeping in close touch with the bill a
all points, and il is not believed that rad
ical changes will be made without his
approval

GOVERNOR HATFIELD has confiscated
the Socialist and Labor Star" a news
paper published in Huntington, this State.
and clapped the publishers in Jail. The
paper has been vigorously attacking the
Governor because of his action in the

The Governors action seems trifle
bold-we are glad that he didn't have
this authority during the last campaign.

La Toilette Leads Fight on
Certificate of Character
Reject Committee Report.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2o-Following a
LIE Toilette. the conference report on
the Burnett-D Dillingham; immigration bill
was rejected by the Senate because Of
n clause which. Il was claimed, would
exclude majority Of Jew immigrants
from Russia and Roumania. At the re-
quest OF Senator Lodge the bill went
back to conference. which will he asked
to eliminate that feature.
A determined fight. in which Senators
Stone. O'Gorman and simmons Joined,
was made n the certificate OF charac-
ter" clause. Senator La Toilette de-
clared 1t went far beyond the purpose OF
the supporters OF the plan and turned
over to other countries the dete emma
ton OF what class OF emlgrants should
be acceptable In the United States.
Practically every senator received n
telegram from Louis Marshall. Prcsi-
dent Of the American Jewish League.
saying the Inevitable effect would be to
exclude a majority Of Jews coming from
Russia and Roumania.
Senator Lodge contended that the pro-
vision did not affect Russian immi-
grants. and held that the conferes had
not exceeded their authority. senator
La Follet< declared Russia could pre-
vent It's People leaving for the United
States by refusing to issue certificates
of good character. Russians who now
come to the United States surreptitious-
~, he said. would. under the new pro-
visions, be excluded.
"Ail those who believe In republican
principles OF government could be re-
fused certificate he said. Russia
knows that one free tongue In New

potlsm than 10000 shac6led subjects IN
Siberia Russia does rO want these

For these people are a menace to plu.
