An Object Lesson.

The Black Diamond. which Is the
leading coal journal in the nation
says:
1--WE Americans are beginning to
realize that we must build an entire
ly new house. We have been buying
things abroad which we should have
been producing at home.
eve have been selling raw ma
terials to Europe which should have
been manufactured here"
This is only the old Republican
protective tariff doctrine that neither
reason nor logic could get into the
Uranium of the Democratic party
until confronted with the European
war, the Mcdowell Recorder adds.
This war ought to be an eye
opener. If Democratic policies had
been in vogue here since the Ciy1i
war there would not have been fac
tories enough built to clothe the
people for sixty days.
If the Democratic South had been
helping to build factories instead of
Democracy, there would have been q
home market for It's cotton today.

No one need be deceived bg the
silly statements published by the
Dem ocratic press that Republicans
are going to vote against the Repub-
lican nominees this year These
statements are based on the assump-
ton that the friends of candidates
who failed to be nominated in con
vention ought ito vote against
the nominees. Such reasoning as
that, il carried into effect. would re-
suit in mighty slaughter of Demo
cratic nominees. For instance. Guy
Tetrick's friends, Eleming Holden's
friends. Ransel Romine's friends and
the friends of still other Democratic
candidates for the nomination for
county clerk would vote against the
Democratic nominee. The same can
be said all down the line. The DEM
ocratic press purpose is one OF
deceit merely for campaign effect.
The deceivers and their methods are
known and the more they
paw the air the less effect they have.
Their brainstorms take them nearer
and nearer the asylum for the IN

Levy Is Approved

The Democrats seem to be greatly
agitated over the fact that the state
tax levy was increased from one cent
to six cents in 1913, and from SIX
cents to ten cent sin 1914, and charge
the Republican state administration
with extravagance.
The cost of maintaining law and
order in the Kanawha coal field IN
1928 was about half million doi-
lars, while the additional levy In 1913
produced 100000. BY the adoption
of the prohibition amendment, the
state loses about three-quarters OF 8
million year. The four-cent add
tional levy Just about makes this up.
The people of the state approved this
additional levy by $4,000 majority
when they voted to stamp out the
LIQUOR traffic.
