NO SPECIFIC ALLEGATIONS.

The Times again asserts that the
West virginian Is waging a campaign
lof falsehood against the Democratic
tofficials of the county. saying. If IT
| il able through narrow and dirty po-
I1itical prejudices, which II seems
willing to invoke without rhyme or
teason In a crusade of falsehood, to
convince a number OF people In these
districts that graft and speculation
are the tdominent features Of the good
roads building In the districts that
have voted bonds, ii can and will de-
feat further bond issues in Marion
county,
The. only charge Of graft we have
heard has. come from a Democrat Of
integrity and who claims to know
what he is talking about. We have
made no such charges except on such
Information as we have had from
Democratic sources.
! The Times. yesterday, was more
specific in It's allegation Of falsehood
and the only two, instances 1t pointed
10 in the Republican platform was
that Mr.. Shaver was absent and not
voting when the Yost bill was passed
and that the road bonds were sold for
par. Today it drops both of these
charges since they. have been proven
TO 1t by the records, and It can no
longer dispute them, but goes on in
a more general way to make its allie
cations which is certainly the safer
course since 1t cannot support its con-
tention by facts nor records.
Has the Times admitted, by eva
sion, that Mr.. Shaver did not vote
for the Yost bill and that the county
court did sell the road bonds to peo-
pie outside of the state for less than
par?
1t should be fair with its readers
and withdraw its wanton attack upon
the Republican platform of yesterday
morning. Some of them may believe
that it stated the facts yesterday in
these particulars and the people of
all political parties arc entitled to
the facts in relation to both these
matters.

THE LAW AND THE REGISTRARS.

Tic county court knows that It's
appointment OF progrcssivGs as regis
trars will not stand II II took the
puins to seek legal advice. The ap-
pointmcnts were made knowing that
a mandamus would yet compel them
to right the wrong they have done.
but they thought that It would mike
some sore spots when tho Bull Moos-
crs are removed and perhaps gain
them few votes. The Republicans
will not oppose these registrars as
men, for many of them are In fact
not Bull Moosers, but Republicans,
and many of them are good men and
will not be opposed because there Is
any criticism TO offer 10 them rs cit
liens, but they will be opposed for
sake of principle, 10 show the court
that it cannot put over any frame
ups In the face or the plain proyi-
sions of the law.
The statute reads as follows:
s "Thc county court of cacli county
In this state shall hold regular or
special session at the court house OF
their counties. on the second Monday
in August Of each and every year,
when there is general election to

PICKING THE BATTLE FIELD.


cussion of the road problem to the
future by taking up Lincoln and
Pawpaw districts.
That reminds us of the tale Of the
little boy who suddenly became an
gered at one of his playmates and
wanted to fight fright off the reel,'.
but upon second consideration he
thought lie saw soft grassy spot
across the road that would suit bet
ter for the scene of conflict SO he
told his companion 10 come over there
and he would give him a good licking.
When lie got across the road lie saw
a sand bar in the distance which he
thought would make an ideal battle
field and he challenged the object Of
his frenzy to combat him on tho sand
bar, but by tile time he reached the
sand bar his angry passions had sub
sided and he changed the subject by
saying SAY, Bill. l will give you d
full set Of marbles for your Jump
ing-Jack."
So It is with the road matter. We
would gladly accommodate the Times
and go into Lincoln and Pawpaw dis
tricts, but we fear when we get there
our neighbor would see a more fnvit-
ing field in some adjoining county.
Our candid opinion is that there
need be no apprehension of the ac-
tion OF these two districts, as we do
not believe with the revelations on
the handling Of the road funds, all OF
which have originated and come from
Democratic authority, there will be
any road funds provided to be spent
by the present county court in these
districts.

Dear Sir:--l note an editorial in

of August 10th, In which you give
the personnel OF the Republican
ticket. You state that Mr.. A. j..
Hclrner. the well known B. & o. CT
gineer, was, nominated for the
House Of, Delegates. You then make
the statement, that MIR. Hcfrner is a
union labor man, and bears union
card, something that none of his op.
poncnts can claim. Now, Mr.. Ed;-
tor, therein you make a grave mis-
take, as l, like Mr.. Heffncr, have
also been honored with a nomina-
tion for the House OF Delegates by
the Socialist party in this county,
and am, Therefore, an opponent Of
Mr.. Heffner, and am proud to say
that | am union labor man and
that l also bear union labor card.
Il also note YOU do not claim that
the other candidates on the Repuh-
lican ticket are union labor men,
and that they bear union labor, cards.
Mr.. Editor, kindly look over the per-
sonnet Of the Socialist ticket and,
unless l am badly mistaken, you will
find several, union labor men, and
, several that bear union labor cards.

ray Marling, the prospective British
minister to Mexico, is not likely to be
kept there long If British diplo-
matte traditions are followed. 1t is
considered that one term in Latin
America is the usual service unless
man happens to have chosen that
part of the world as his special
sphere, and such is not Mr. Markings
case. His liking has been the near
East, and 1t is no secret that he
does not relish the idea of going to
Mexico, but like all officials in the
diplomatic service he cannot very
well decline a promotion to be min
lister when it is offered.
If he finds troublous times in
Mexico, however, he will not suffer
from inexperience. For nearly rs
years he has SERVED in the Balkans
and Turkey. HIS is careful dip
lomat, and the foreign office feels
safe in sending him anywhere. While
he has not attained any very high
office and is still a councillor OF
embassy at the age of 81 years, he
has scored many successes.
A Cambridge graduate, he entered
the diplomatic service as an at
tache in 1888 and in the following
year was off to Athens, the frs
of his foreign appointments. Late
/ in Constantinople, where most of hi
career has been spent he acquired
such knowledge of the Turkish pee
pie and their language that the fol
eign office awarded him "a special a
lowanee and gave round OF d.
ties at Rio Janeiro and at Paris, fo
few years, as a sort of holiday.
