Attacks ON the Sheriff.

Whether repeated attacks upon the
integrity Of the sheriff Of the county
are made by a discredited person,
they are harmful to the county in
that they make grave accusations
against the county's chief police and
financial official.
The people Of Harrison county ex-
pressed their confidence in the sher-
if, when they elected him. II that
confidence has been measured up to
by the sheriff, 1t is not only unfair
but vicious to assail him, even for po-
litical purposes and certainly most
damnable for selfish purposes. re-
yenge or to get even on account OF
some personal wrong, either true or
Imaginary.
For the good OF the county and its
fair name, the Telegram hopes that
the sheriff will not continue his poIicv
OF silence and will no longer ignore
such attacks, but freely and openly
repulse these attacks, IL they are un-
true and it is almost inconceiyable
that they can be true, by firmly meet
ing them with facts given to the pub
Tic IN such manner as to dispel even
suspicion Of their justification. The
Telegram Is loathe to believe that
the accusations against the sheriff are
true, and owing to the shady charac-
ter OF some of the evidence upon
which the attacks are based, 1t does
not accent them as true. However.
persistent assertions circulated in
published form among our own citi-
fzens and the many from out Of the
county who visit Clarksburg are
likely to have more or less weight
and thus make an erroneous impress.
sion of our standing as county, in
other words, give the county bad
name when it does not deserve it,
and, therefore, the Telegram believes
!; It duty the sheriff owes not only to
himself but also to the people of the
county to refute the charges.

The Federaa Reserve Board.

me be0erai reserve bOafu.
When the federal reserve board
wascreated 1t was gravely feared that
1t would be the plaything OF politics,
although 1t was not suspected that a
son-in-law Of the president would &c
so far as to induce him to exert his
personal power to influence the board
against its Better Judgment. Presi-
dent Wilson has, however-and In
SO doing he made a great political
mistake-written to the board, at the
instance Of Secretary McAdoo, urging
1t to provide for the establishment
of branches OF the federal reserve
bank in foreign countries.
Fortunately, the federal reserve
board had the courage to reject even
the presidents recommendation and
did so with an array of reasons too
effective to be overcome.
The board Is now suffering from
Mr.. Wilson'S appointment OF a
comptroller Of the currency wholly
Unfit for his office. John Shelton
Williams, the comptroller, Is serious
ly hampering the board by refusing
to permit it to see the results Of ma
tional bank examinations.
Williams, who has mania for
writing vitrolic letters, is carrying
on an extensive correspondence with
I Chairman Warburg, located in the
same building, and relations have be.
come so strained that at least one
member of the reserve board refuses
to enter Williams's Office for any pur-
pose.

Tic sl,ippinc Bin,

Secretary McAdoo continues 10 as
sert the purpose Of the administra-
tion to press for passage shipping
bin at the coming session OF Con-
gress, althouh there is abundant evil
dence that such measure does not
meet the approval Of the vast ma
jority of the people and that those
best Informed on shipping believe 1t
would be a grave blunder.
This purpose is unfortunate for
the best interests of the country be-
cause it is certain to lead to most
acriminous debate in both houses
and to accomplish nothing but
waste Of time.
2 Representative Claude Kitchin is
vigorously opposed to the bill and
the House will not pass 1t. even Il
1T can be damned through the Sen
ate.
It was distrust Of Mr.. McAdoo him
self which in large part defeated
the bill last session and that dis
trust has in no wise diminished since
IH6n.
