Whenever the editorial writer's on
the Pittsburgh dafies. especially those
who write for the Telegraph and Dis
patch, fail shy OF having filed their
allotted space with comment on the
current events and political situations.
they have a habit OF preparing an edi.
torial on West Virginia. Tney are
not particular what they say or how
they say It Just 50 long as It flls the
space.
Last night the Chronicle Telegraph
had an editorial setting forth how
West virginians always exaggerated
circumstances and mad the last word IN
commenting o nor reporting affairs out
of the ordinary. That all news. es.
pecIally concerning the weather, is al
ways exaggerated by West Virginia
writers is the burden Of the editorial.
II West Virginia writer's r guilty
OF the offense charged by the Tele.
graph. they are guilty because they
have allowed the methods OF the Pitts
burgh papers to become theirs, or
else there are many newspaper men
who received their training on the
Pittsburgh dailies now working in
West Virginia. The native population
Of West Virginia is naturally truthful.
and II the newspaper stories sent out
from this state are exaggerated it is
due to the fact that there is no law
prohibiting the immigration Of Penn
sylvania word painters" and other
foreigners. At least the West Virginia
papers are not required to give the
news OF the day the oliver Twist" be-
fore publishing it.

EMPoRIA, Kas., June 24-No man
IN Emporia ever holds the lamppost up
not now.
No man in Emporia has to- carry
his load" home alone.
Few men are ever arrested for
drunkenness-because the new police
Judge, Rev. H. ]. Rice, believes 1t is
better to help a man to behave than
to punish him for misbehaving.
The preacherjudge who pays more
attention to the Golden Rule than
to the city ordinances was appointed
police Judge a year ago. One Of his
first orders to the police force was to
take drunken men to their homes and
not 10 the police station, and to report
their names and addresses to him.

a call-also a temperance lecture from
the clergyman:judge.
Judge Rice is said to be the only
preacher.judge in the country. He
has been pastor Of the First Congrega-
tional church in Emporia for nine
years-Emporia hopes he'll be judge
for at least nine years.
