ing principals of the territorial public

Pretty stories of how Jay Gould first

Vivian Gould to Lord Dec:es (now in

"They wanted me to tear down

That's what they are at the Coney

cate N point. The people who think the stale government
Of West Virginia Is costing more than it should cost IN
view of the things that are being done. and the way they
are being done. should furnish a bill Of particulars. They
should be frank enough, for instance, to come night out
and say what they would cut of. and how much they
would save.
The people Of this community who have been daily wit
nesses of the progress upon the new building for the Fair
mont State Normal school and the work that is being car
red on in the building now IN use know where some of the
money that has been spent by the state has gone and they
are in a position to form some idea as to whether or not it
has been wasted or applied TO an unworthy purpose.
Would the critics Of Republican management Of the state
stop expenditures of that sorta 1t is a fair inference that
the other institutions maintained by the state are as care
fully conducted as is the local school.
No one is foolish enough to believe that if the govern
ment Of the state were turned over to the Democrats there
Indeed, if the example of the federal government may be
accepted as a criterion the exact opposite would be the
case. The best that any honest political party or candi-
date can promise is that for every dollar paid out the pub
lie will get 100 cents in value returned. and that not a
penny is spent foolshly. Upon that point Judge Robin
son has placed himself on record. In his Huntington
speech he said that he stands for economy without parsi-
mony. This means that if he is elected governor the wise
policy Of maintaining the normal schools and the other
state institutions upon a plane of efficiency will be con-
tnued. Where do the Democrats standa If some Of their
newspapers and ~spokesmen may be taken at their word
there is no telling what will be done about the schools
and the hospitals. 1t may be taken for granted, however.
that they will be weighted down with the very last place
man they can be made to maintain. and that no attention
will be paid to the kind of service the public, which pays,
gets out of them so long as nice soft berths for deserving
De,ocrats" are safe.

"Ameriea First and America Efficient"
HOW ABOUT HOME CONDITIONS,

nEM0CATIC newspapers throughout the state are
~ manifeshng a great deal Of interest in an ~mvestga-
hon Of alleged election frauds in counties in the
southern part of the state which is now going on in Web
sser Springs where the Federal grand jury for the southern
district Is IN session. If the voters outside of the counties
beng investigated are willing to accept the word of these
organs the only election corruption that ever took place in
this state was that which was brought about by Republic
cans m a certain limited section of the state.
The truth is that under the Wilson administration cleo
hon problem, like kissing. investigations of ~postofice inefi-
eiency and the enforcement of the laws. goes by favor. IF
q real clean up of election corruption were to take place
II this state there would be many a vacant chair in the
places where Marion county Democratic politicians hang
out and the county bill for board of prisoners at Mounds
vile would be materially increased. There is no secret
about the T~ottenness of local conditions, nor about who is
responsible for ii.
Indeed one Marion county politician has been so brazen
m his violations of the election laws that he has boosted
publicly that he would do as he O. pleased because
no jury IN this county would convict a Democrat Of
breaking the election laws"
This newspaper hopes that if there was actual election
corruption in the southern end of the state those who were
responsible for it will be brought to justice. We firmly
believe that the first and most important step in the direc-
hon OF good and efficient government is an honest election,
and we will lend our hearty support to any movement to
bring that about. But at the same time we, denounce the
kind OF comment which has been going the rounds of the
pemocIahc press about the proceedings at Webster
Springs. let the newspapers that are printing snug com.
ment about that situation clean first before their own doors.
Some Of them are pretty Intimately acquainted with cleo
bon corruption that makes the work they say went on in
McDpWell and Mingo counties seem crude and inefec-
i've.

For two years, full OF danger and

party shows no accomplishment for
the safety Of the nation. Now Dem.
