Endorsed By House Committee On
judiciary To Succeed Judge Nathan
Golf On Bench.

Golf On Bench.
The House Committee on the Judic-
larry by unanimous vote of the members
present, Mr.. Davis being absent,
adopted the following resolutions en-
dorslng Congressman John W. Davis
for appointment to the bench to sue
coed Judge Golf:
Whereas, it appears that vacancy
on the bench Of the circuit court in the
United States for the Fourth judicial
circuit will shortly occur by reason OF
the election of Judge Nathan Golf to
tie United States senate and his con-
sequent retirement, now, therefore be
it. -,
Resolved, by the committee on the
judiciary of the house Of representatives
that this vacancy would be no better
filled than by the appointment OF Hon
orable John w. Davis, of West Virginia
and that the committee voluntarily
takes this means of expressing its con
fide nee in the qualifications of Mr.. Davis
for this position. -e
.tMr. Davis has served as n'emper
of this committee for two years, ana
we, his colleagues, have had full oppor-
tunity to become acquainted with his
intellectual equipment, his Judicial
temperament ard his personal char
acter. His intellectual attachments
are of high order. his active parti-
cipation in the solution Of difficult and
intricate legal problems involved IN
bills referred to this committee hae
proved his superb qualifications as
lawyer, and warrants US in endorsing
him most cordially as one in every
sense capable of discharging the i'm
portant duties devolved upon the high
judicial position for which we rec
ommend him. His personal character
is absolutely above reproach and fully
justifes the high esteem in which ne
is held. and the unlimited confidence
reposed in him by all who know him.

The Pork Barrel Upset.

The Pork Barrel Upset.
The Government is paying out
over six hundred thousand dollars
a year for Office rentals in Wash
ington, the accommodations In
most cases being unusually poor
and the rates extravagantly high.
Here is real need for Public
Buildings in the interest of econ
omy. But there is lot of
graft" involved.
On remarking to Government
official recently that his offices
were inconvenient and overcrowd-
ed, he explained that they dare
not kick because the building was
owned by party who had great
influence with the Committee of
Congress which fixed the appro-
priation for that particular De-
partment.
Now, what earthly need has
Charles Town for a Government
Building?
About as much at the present
time as wagon has for seven
wheels. The present Postofice
rents for 900 dollars a year, the
interest, janitor's salary, ETC., of
the proposed Government Build
ing would amount to not less than
five thousand dollars.
Loss 400 dollars. Fine bust
ness that.
To come down to brass tacks
nine tenths of these Government
Building appropriations are indie
feasible and have become a
national scandal.
The measure of a REPRESENTA-
tive nowadays seems not to be
craftsmanship, but ability to
get things" for his constituents,
and moral obliquities of various
sorts are ignored oftentimes, al
ways provided the representative
can get next to the public till.
These log rolling Pork barrel
bills violate the fundamental
principles of our Democratic
government, and do violence to
the Democratic tenet of Taxa
ton for revenue only sufficient to
pay the expenses of the govern
ment economically administered. y
Some one has to pay for these
outrageously unnecessary expen-
ditures, and a community should
not be bribed into acquiescing in
a wrong because it becomes a
beneficiary thereof. any more than
a Democrat should abandon his
convictions on the tariff because
an industry in which he may be
interested is offered the bait of
high protection to increase its
profits, at the expense of the
whole people.
AS long as rule is laid down
that each Congressman is to get
so much pork he naturally
and properly does the best he can
for his constituents, and our own
representative has been diligent
and faithful to the trust confded
to him in safeguarding the inter-
ests of his district in every way.
But it is the system itself that
is wrong, and doubtless many an
exasperatedc Congressman would
like to see it wiped out.
But IF this be treason
make the most of it,
There are those who honestly
view this question from differ
ent standpoint, and of course lots
of others whose god is the dollar,
who may regard such opinions as
reasonable to ones home town.
