Subsidized Press.

We should say that never has any
man in West Virginia, set himself up
for public consideration, who had re-
ceived more courteous treatment than
Governor Henry Drury Hatfield
1t therefore ill-becomes him to I'M
bosom himself of wrath against the
newspapers. charging them with being
unworthy and subsidized. simply be-
cause they falter in following his curious
and threatening ways.
The fact that the governor of the state
has become involved in public dealings
-or at least in reputed public dealings
which the public and its newspapers
cannot indorse or approve is not their
fault; and when they proceed with con-
demnation against public servants for
public acts contrary to public approval,
they are following right and duty that
belongs to their sphere. They would
be less than respectful to their readers
did they ACT otherwise.
The thing that governor Hatfield
needs, above all other things, to do. is.
to simmer himself down to his actual
size, let out the imitation and size him
self up from the new measurements.
Should he do so. where he is now
boastful he will become humble; where
now threatening and arrogant he will
turn to submissiveness; where autocratic
and domineering he will court the most
innocent of the innocents and say:
there master, what wilt thou of me?'
The simple truth of the matter is that
there is not newspaper in the state
now giving its political, moral or other
support to governor Hatfield not having
been partially paid for its service, with
deferred payments hanging over it's
head to keep it sweet and good. He
has for his critics all of the leading
newspapers of both parties. The only
subsidized press that we know of is that
supporting the governor Fayette Tri-

A New .Affliction.

Thanks to the determination of
Governor Hatfield to try to force
through the Legislature. badly
conceived and inherently vicious
program, largely from:motives of
personal aggrandisement, the
State has been put to the expense
and annoyance of an extra session
without real necessity or justifi-
cation.
Assuming the role or the Mon
arch who proclaimed Il am the
Statel'' the Governor has tried
to ride rough shod over the rep
resentatives of the people, and
now finds himself endorsed.
The creation of new boards and
commissions, a reckless disre-
gard for the economy which the
de6cit in the State Treasury and
the general business conditions
imperatiyely demand, wit no u t
providing revenue producing
system to meet the emergency.
have brought the inevitable con-
sequence.

The War From An English
Viewpoint.

That confidence reigns in Eng
land as to the outcome of the
War is evidenced by the follow
ing extracts from a letter receiv-
ed from a cores pondent in the
Midlands.
The idea generally here is
that Germany is licked and knows
it and we all hope the war will
be over this year. In fact there
is betting at Lloyds that it will
be over by July. Nortlla mpton
has twenty three thousand troops
training here and our total army
is about three million. l belong
to the Civilian Corps and drill
twice a week and while we only
sign on to serve in case of an in
vasion, | have no doubt if we
prove efficient, and are wanted
nine tenths of US would go to the
front. But it is a million to one
we wont be wanted. In any case
the drills and marches do ME
good. Socially things are very
fiat, but one is all the better for
quiet life instead of eternal
bridge parties etc etc. The
women are bricks and don't
crouch about not having new
costumes. So far we have had nc
officers billeted on us but may

The Dayton CHARGES.

1t is hard to see how impeach-
ment proceedings can fail to en-
sue, as result of the preliminary
investigation of the charges pre-
ferred against United States Cir
cult Judge, A. G. Dayton.
The evidence so tar submitted
is of such nature that the friends
of the accused official should be
the first to demand a thorough
sitting of the whole matter, that,
if found blameless, his judicial
robes Dan be worn unsmirched.
Apart from Judge Dayton's
guilt or innocence, the people of
the State demand further enlight-
enmert on the participation of
big corporate interests in. the Sc
lection of its judges.
If true, such poisoning of the
fountain" should be revealed to
public execration and the guilty
ones pilloried as the basest, of an
archists.
One result of the proceedings
has been the vindication Of Con-
gresham Nicely, who, as in duty
bound, preferred the charges at
the instance ofEl1is constituents
to the discontinue of certain sim
lister interests" which tried to
hush up a case which islikely to
mar many hitherto fair reputa.

"Cold Feet" Democrats.

Two years ago today, Wood
row Wilson was inaugurated
President of the United States.
No period within the past half
century has encompassed events
of such momentous bearing on
the destiny of the country.
That it has weathered the
storm is due, to the patriotism and
6rmness of the Helmsnlan of the
Ship of State, the people know.
despite the efforts of the mud
singers to besmircIi the Nations
Chief and his administration.
Unmoved alike by the threats
OF big business" AMI little
politics" lie has serenely and
with infinite patience and capac-
itv kept the country OH even keel
and free from entangling allan
ces at home and abroad.
That Republican politicians,
some of them masquerading as
statesmen, should have sought
to take partizan advantage of
situation the like of which has
not heretofore been known in the
worlds history, may perhaps be
natural from their small view
point.
But that anyone claiming al
legiance to Democracy and to be-
1ieve in its principles should-lend
aid and comfort to the enemy by
failing to uphold the hands of
the party's accredited leaders is
to render questionable at least
their right of utilization with
the party of the people.
No two years in all the country's
history have witnessed the ac-
comp1isllment of so many COVER
menta1 reforms. An honest re-
vison of the Tariff, to which po-
1itica1 partizans fatuously attrib-
ute the recent international bust
ness depression consequent to the
hostilities in Europe; the enact
ment of sane banking laws which
have made the country henceforth
panic proof; the creation of new
agencies to conserve honest bust
ness and to encourage legitimate
expansion without depriying the
small trader of his place in the
SUM-" these achievements alone
will render the first half of Will
sons administration illustrious.
That his full program of reform
has been delayed by dilatory tao
tics in the Senate, especially the
success of the filibuster to throttle
the Shipping Bill, is to be regret
ted.
Cloture in the near future to
ensure the right of a majority OF
the people to rule will be the in
evitable result Of such procedure.
But the logic of events will
prove to the country the wisdom
of this and the Presidents other
plans for the prosperity under
which the country will progress
during the latter half of his term
towards that goal set by his grea,
predecessor, of government
guaranteeing equal rights to all
but special privileges to none."
Those who are swayed by the
elamoF of a sinister opposition
and are wavering in their politi,
cal belief, have not in their hearts
the faith which inspired Jefferson
and Jackson and which today IN.
spires their great successor.

AUTO C0LLIDES
WITH BICYCLE
MAN BADLY HURT
From Mondays Daily.

from MONDAY S Dally.
Emmett Knuteson was badly in
Wred When he was run down by an
automobiel driven by Martin Jack
son this morning.
Mr.. Knuteson was riding from his
fathers farm near Ke11ner to Port
Edwards where he is employed as a
stone mason and when near the
express office on Second street So,
he was run into from behind and
thrown from his wheel sustaining Sc
we're injuries to his back. He was
taken to the hospital and, it is fear
that he is injured internally.
The driver of the automobile was
turning his car in the middle of the
block and thought he had plenty Of
room. He saw the youf11g man on
the wheel and supposed he would
clear him. AS It was he crowded Mr.
1Knuteson to the walk and up on it
and struck him knocking him off the
bicycle. Emmet Knuteson is q boy
about Il years old.
Later-It was learned this after
noon that Knuteson is badly bruised
but that so far as can be discovered
there are no internal injuries.
