CRUDE POLITICAL FICTION.

Just as they have denounced Coz.
Roosevelt for "ueachery" in refusing
to aid and abet the assistant Demo-
cratic remnant Of the Progressiyes,
equally stunned and chagrined BY the
harmony that has been composed
within the Republican ranks OF this
State the Watson Chiffon ruled Demo
Gratis Of West Virginia are devouns
themselves to circulating one Of the
most preposterous hctions they have
ever been guilty of. The Democratic
press Immediately after General Lilly
had conceded the nomination Of Judge
Robinson started the lie on its travels,
which represented that the campaign
expenses OF General Lilly were paid
and that ne was also promised The
Eubernatorial nomination four years
hence as a consideration for abandon
ing the contest for the Eoyernorship.
The journalistic tools Of the Demo
cratic bosses add that this has never
been denied, as a supposed clincher
to the lie.
The Intelligencer has never consid-
cred the story worth denying, as il
had too much faith in the discrimlna-
tive intelligence Of the people 10 be-
lteya that the obvious falsity Of the
charge would escape them. OF course
there were no such provisions contin-
gent on General L;lly's action, nor has
the Republican party been reduced 10
the level Of Democratic practices OF
sale and barter that has distinguished
that party on several notable occa-
sions. The Republicans will nontn-
ate their candidate for governor and
elect him in the usual way four years
from row. The conception Of such
a crude fiction as the Democratic pap
ers persist. in repeating is what might
be expected from a party Of the mer-
cenary characteristics Of the West
Virginia Democracy. whose CONNER
.cial qualities have prevented it from
rising to any thought higher than a
."cash consideration in connection
with the offices it has bestowed on its
leaders. This had. led its professional
satellites to discredit honest and loyal
action on the part OF others. Not pos
sessing the amiable virtues Of the Re-
publicans they cannot conceive how

pace of Democracy inaugurated by the
Cleveland administration, which was
compelled, to bond the government for
the deficiencies OF the Wilson-Gormal
tariff act. AS if. the Senate Finance
Committee had not been startling

it added, that in addition 10 the pro-

THE "WART" TAXES.

When is topographic error not an
error? Why, when it makes war"
taxes appear as "wart" taxes. That
is the way they were represented in
an editorial in these columns Ees;er-
day. The slip seems TO be an inspira-
ton, linotype diversion that whips
off the mask of the Democratic mas
querade. So far as The Intelligence-
is concerned "wart" stands as an il
Illuminating designation Of those taxes
inflicted upon the country through the
delinquencies OF the Underwood tariff
bill. The usually vigilant proof read
er is absolyed from the charge Of
contributory negligence and the ma
chine operator from particeps crirlnt5,
but rather We would award them sew
orally and jointly medal for con-
structive ingenuity. and let it so al
that.
In the editorial referred to The In
telligencer spoke of the revenue d"
rived from these so-called war taxes, >
but put on the qualifying word
changed it to "wart." And what are
these taxes but wart taxes, supecir
duced by the excrescence Of deficits, a
glandular growth on the Treasury,
representing the difference between
the revenues and the expenses OF gov
eminent. The cause? The operation
Of the Democratic free trade tariff,
which in five short months changed a
balance Of trade in our favor to bal
ance Of over a hundred million against
us, which depleted the revenues 20
such an extent that emergency taxes
had to be laid 10 make up the defici-
ency. The "wart" made its first ap-
pearance in April 1914. four months
before the European war broke out,
increasing in size every succeeding
month. Irs hhrous strength was also
nourished by the excessive and waste
full appropriations Of the SIxty-third
Congress. The Democrats, however,
blamed it on the war, a wholly mis-
leading diagnosis. In view OF these
facts the typographical slip that dec
Grated these columns, was not a mis-
cue, but distinct revelation, and as
"wart" taxes they stand revealed in
their true character.

COMING TO FRIGHTFULNESs.

The Democratic party will without
doubt claim in the campaign that the
excessive appropriations made by tie
present Congress, which far out-rirals
the conceded extravaganza Of the
former one, was due entirely 10 heavy
expenditures made for the proper pre-
paredness Of. the country for any en-
Urgency. With regard to this feature
the minority report OF the Senate Fin
ance Committee on the omnibus reve-
nue. bill puts the matter in a clear
light, when it says:
The statement tina. this additional
revenue is NEEDED for preparedness IS
entirely misleading. The ~aSteful and
in-advIsed appropriations for projects
that were unnecessary. ill-conSidered
and certainly not urgent. the creation
of thousands OF additional offices and

Jury already facing large deficit,

the revenue the Democrats are striT-
ing to provide for by onerous and Oh

been obviated by following the Re-
publican policies Of deriving revenue
instead OF holding to the badly pune
tured theory of a revenue only tariff.
which has turned out to be revenue

The desperate situation Of the ad-
ADMINISTRATION has reached the aggra-
waited stage by the unexpected recon-

others generally included in the
clerical class: ~ all other rail-
way workers. for instance, watch
men, toatinS gangs, construction

The surprising feature OF the
average citizen in regard 10 rail-
way wage statistics is the great
number OF men who arc classed
as unskilled or slightly skilled
workers and who receive less than
sixteen dollars a week. Sixteen
dollars is the sum pretty generally
agreed upon by students OF social
economics at the lowest possible
amount upon which the average
American working man can pur-
chase food, clothing and shelter
for his family.

railroads in 1914 just S3I,l5l were
