THE KANAWHA COUNTY
PROSECUTION.

concerning the arrest OF A. Leo
We'll. a prominent Pittsburgh attor-
neg. The I~ntelligencer believes that
we all may properly withhold judg-
ment Mr.. Wen IL entitled to justice.

ment because a Law onicer in West
Virginia has had the courage to cause
Mr.. Wells arrest. we may remark
that the Prosecuting Attorney OF Ka-
nawhs county Is a gentleman in whom
West v~irginians have a great deal OF
confidence.
T. G. Townsend has been before the
public for many years. and has not
made n foolish breaks. He FIRST
came into the States service as As
sistant Tax Commissioner. In that
capacity he rendered the State bril-
liant and highly valuable service.
Later he became Tax Commissioner.
and continued his effective work. On
lockers in various legislative sessions
who saw T. c Townsend engaging in
controversy with the various agents
of the coal. oil and gas companies in
this State will not fail TO remember
the brilliant and masterful manner in
which he handled his case and pro-
tected the States interests. He re-
tired from the Office of State Tax
, Commissioner TO take up the practice
OF law. and was elected Prosecuting
Attorney OF Kanawha county.
Two years ago Mr.. Townsend con.
dncted the preliminary investigation
that ended IN the arrest OF a number
of State legislators on a charge of
bribery. He chose his ground so well
that public trials ended in the convic-
tion Of all of the accused. Following
the arrest Of these Legislators. quite
a noise and turmoil reigned at
Charleston. Their friends we're vir.
tuously indignant. as Mr.. Wells
friends are now, but. as the facts
came out Indignation gave way to
CONSERVATION. and CONSERVATION to
dread.
T. c. Townsend knows his business.
He has not acted foolishly. This is
not %prejudging Mr.. Wells case. We'll
may be entirely innocent. and his IN
nocence may be thoroughly estab.

that there has been good ground for

CRYING OUT TOO QUICKLY.

People frequently cry out before
they are hurt
This seems TO be the fact with the
oil and a producers association OF
this State. That organization has Just
Issued a lengthy appeal to the voters.
in which they argue against n produc.
ton tax on coal. oil and gas. and in
fact are very warm under the collar
in anticipation OF the fanciod wrongs
which politicians. as they allege. in
tend to impose upon them. II might
be well for the controversialists OF the
oil and gas producers association 10
await in serenity the introduction into
the legislature OF the alleged conhs-
catory measures which they profess
to dread.

ness men. farmers and working men
have borne burdens and paid ex.

benefit the expenses were created.
This is particularly true in the main
~tenance by the State OF the miners

bureau. and the military equipment
maintained largely. II not solely. for
the use OF the coal industry.
The Intelligencer believes that II
can say with some degree OF certain.
~ that the evenue legislation contem-
plated by the State administration
will impose no unfair burdens upon
any industry. Most Of all. Il will not
seriously affect the oil producers OF
this state: nor Is it likely TO anect
