The following 'splendid tribute
to Judge Golf appeared in a recent
Issue of the West Union Record,
Democratic paper:
"We are glad that Golf was elect
ed because be stands head and
shoulders above any other man in his
party In this state. He is the great
est Republican that either of the
two Virglnians has ever produced.
And best of all, 'his life is pure, his
hands are clean For fifty years
he has been IN public life aud his
record Is without a stain.
We believe the work of no man
In the next Senate will be guided or
inspired by more patriotic and
honorable motives than will that OF
Judge Golf. And we do not believe
that he stands politically just where
he stood when he gaze up active
political life for a place on the
Federal Judiciary. We believe that
be has progressed politically just
as the majority of his fellow country
men have during the past quarter Of
a century. We take no stock in the
claim made by some writers for the
press that Judge Golf today enter
tains the same political belief as he
did when he was the candidate of
his party for Governor in 1888.
Those fellows try to convey the i'm
preston that Judge Golf has been
out of touch with CIVILIZATION since
he has been on the bench, that he
has not been reading, that he has
not been keeping abreast of the times
heir talk is all nonsense. We
venture to say that Judge Golf il
one of the best informed men In al
the country and that he is as famIl.
lar with the political history of the
years during which he has been or
the the bench as are most of the
men who have been actively en-.
gagged in politics all those years"

AT Charleston on last Saturday
Judge Samuel Llttlepage decided
That the two cent car-fare law of
west Virginia ia valid. This case
has been in the courts only six years
ln 1907 the Legislature enacted a
law liking passenger rates in West
virginia at two cents mile. The
Norfolk d. Western, the Chesapeake
% Ohio and the Coal 81 Coax rail
road companies secured iniunctions
against the state, by which the en-
forcement of the law was prohibit
ed. The B. e. o. Railroad refused
to enter the litigation, but obeyed
the law at once by putting its rates
down to two cents. The other
roads have been charging three cents
all the time, giving coupons to those
who purchased tickets that are good
for the extra cent a mile. The de.
clslon just rendered is against the
railroads, but they have the right
to appeal to the Supreme Court. If
they do this it will probably be
another half dozen years before the
matter is settled. -Shepberdstown
Register.
The great trouble is, as Governor
Hatfield aptly said the other dav.
our courts-nearly all kinds of
courts--are too slow IN rendering de-
oisions.
