RJRDETTE ASSUMES
All Responsibility for Failure
of State Rifle Team to
Win at Camp.

CHARLESTON, Sept. S.-while
the West Virginia rifle team did not
win the trophies its friends expect
ed it would win, the failure OF the
team to win i'm the big event at Camp
Perry, OHIO, is freely assumed by
Captain l.. G. ,Burdette, who trained
the West Virginia team, and who
won the worlds championship at
Sweden. year ago.
Burdette like other great shots and
eGschers miscalculated the wind.
He instructed the boys to take one
per cent windage, while one and one
half proved to be the proper percnt-
age. Both General c. D. Elliott and
Captain Burdette insist the team
that represented West Virginia this
year is the best that has ever been
assembled IN the mountain state.

islation. They have declined TO con-
form the income Of the judges to the
dignity and station in life which they
ought to maintain, and have kept
them at so low a figure as to require
from that class of lawyers who are
likely to furnish the best candfdatea
for judicial career great pecuniary
self-sacriice in accepting appoint-
ment.
Nothing but the life tenure OF the
federal judiciary, its independence
and its power Of usefulness have made
1t possible, with such inadequate sal
aries, to secure judges of high aver
age in learning, ability and character.
"one of the great debts which the
american people owe to Mr.. Justice
hughes is the example that he set in
he last presidential election when
the most serious consideration was be-
ng given to making him the candi-
late of the Republican party. He an
nounced his irregocabie determines
ion not TO enter the political field be-
cause he had assumed the judicial
ermine."
The federal courts, with their life
term judges, said Mr.. Taft were the
error of evil doors. Etery law break
er, he declared, preferred to be tried
in state d1rt
In conclusion Mr.. Taft pointed out
that If Judge appointed for, life
proved unworthy there was always
the remedy of impeachment. He
advocated. however, change in the.
mode Of impeachment, so as tore
luce the time required of the Senate
in such proceeding. He continued:
1T has been proposed that instead
of impeach ment judges should be
removed by joint resolution of the
House and the Senate. in analogy to.
the method of removing judges in
England through an address of both
houses to the king. This provision
occurs in the constitution of Massa-
.ctusetts and in that of some other
states, but It is evry clear that this
can only be justly done after fill de-
Tense, hearing and arguem1t Advo-
Gates of the preposterous innovation
of judicial recall have relied upon me
method of removal of judges as a
precedent, but the reference only
shows failure on the part of those
who make it to understand what the
removal by address was"

r. W. Johnson, of Monroe county.
is student at the College of Agricul-
ture, at the West Virginia University
That is, he was until he received his
diploma a few weeks ago. When he
first talked of going to college several
years ago many of his neighbors
doubted whether he could learn much
about farming by going to school.
Better stay at home and learn by ex-
perience." said they. But johnson
had grit and determination even if he
didn't have a pocket full of money 30
start with, and went up to Morgan
town to the Agricultural College.
He soon found out there were doz-
ems of things about farming which
could be learned quite readily from
books and lectures but he noticed that
even though this were true somehow
he seemed to put in good share OF
his time in learning things by much
the same old methods that he had
used at home, namely, contact with
the soil in laboratory and field and
orchard, Now, however. there was this
difference; he seemed to make sc
much more progress-no doubt be-
caues of the careful guidance which
attended his efforts. So, altogether
johnson found his time pretty well
occupied and the months slipped rap.
idly by until three years had passed
Then johnson went down home tc
work on the old farm one summer.
We need not take up the numerous
small changes of management, the
better ways of doing things and the
various improvements that lie grad
ually inaugurated. The thing that W,
are most interested in is what he die
