ThePublishers'A ssociation

DaYo D0en managed Oy the west
Virginia Publishers assoc iation,
which was under the belief that
Mr.. Smith was hostile to the or
plantations ideals and the appear
ance of Mr.. Pres. Morris, for
the association in the role of attor-
ney for Mr.. Davis, indicates that
that association has some enemies
to punish as we'll as possibly some
friends to reward. - Charleston
Mail.
The Publishers association, as
we understand it, has for one of
it's objects the protection of the
newspaper business and had the
association taken a part in the
contest against Delegate Smith,
which it did not, as we understand
it, it would have been perfectly
justifiable in doing so, since Smith
was outspoken against the publ
cation OF financial statements as
provided by law, protection to
tax payers and insurance against
graft, that the public is entitled to.
The Legislator who is so foolish as
to believe that the discontinuance
of such publications is in the in
terest of economy has no place in
the Legislative halls of the state.
The few dollars that might appar.
emily he saved In this manner
would be swallowed up in reckless
expenditures and graft which
would never come to public view
if these publications were not pro.
vided for. The taxpayers under.
stand this and they know that pub.
licity concerning the way their
funds are handled Is their best
protection and they are willing to
pay the bills to know what their off.
Gals are doing. 1t is the cheap
est way they have of finding these
things out. They would be re-
CURED to go to their county seats
and examine the records for them
selves, If these publications are
discontinued, and. few men are
qualified to get an intelligent I'M
derstandlng from such an exami-
nation, even if they had the time
to make them, which they would
not have.
But that is not exactly to the
point. The Mail seems to aim its
criticism at Editor Presley Morris
because he is one of the promoters
of the Publishers association.
The Mail may not know it but
Mr.. Morris in addition to being an
editor is lawyer, and a good one,
too, and If he sees fit to appear as
attorney In a contest case we see
no reasons for criticism. We
would like to see the Mail and all
the other daily newspapers of the
state join in with the weekly pa.
pers and make of the association
the organization it should be. The
writer was instrumental in helping
to organize such an association a
few years ago and the work the or
ganization did during one session
OF the Legislature has been worth
many thousands of dollars to the
newspapers of the state, but the
organization was only short. lived

ton to the publishers goes on with.

HE IS SOME CORN HUSKER
Michigan Man Claims Championship
and May Do Husking Act
In Vaudeville.

Grand Rapids, Mich.-P. E. Thomas
OF this city claims the championship
of Michigan for corn husking. He es-
tablshed new record this year on
the farm of R. G. Brumm, near Nash
vile, in Barry county. when he husked
l46 bushels in ten hours, an average
of 1875 bushels per hour, or one
bushel to each 42-7 minutes. His
best time during the day was Is
bushels in 40 minutes.
Mr.. Thomas grandfather was an
expert husker and at one time did
even better than the grandson's best
record, husking les bushels in ten
hours. His father husked lat bushels
in ten hours.
Mr.. Thomas has made business Of
husking corn for II years. He says
the corn in Mr.. Brumm's field is the
best in which he ever worked. The
corn is of the Folsom yellow dent
variety, which was introduced into
this locality by w. H. Burd. Mr..
Brumms field contains 5 1-6 acres and
the total yield was LAB bushels. an
average Of 140 bushels per acre.
There is no question about the cor.
rectness of Mr.. Thomas record, as
accurate time was kept on his work
and on the measure of his corn by
Mr. Brumm. Mr.. Thomas says he ex-
poets to beat his own record and that
of his grandfather next year. He may
go on the vaudeville stage with a corn
husking act next fall.
