after we craut this deduction at the
full, 100000, 000-there still remains
an additional appropriation over the
largest aver made by any administra-
ton Of more than $200,000,000 and,
counting the bond issue, which is but
a way Of avoiding a further appropria-
ton, an excess over the greatest pre-
vious appropriations or more than
S330,000,000.
And how Is this being paid? Not by
the foreigner, who ships his goods into
our markets, but In the main by spe.
cial and direct taxes Of the most bur.
densome and aggravating character
The Democrats promised economy
In their platform for 1912.
They kept that promise by appro-
priating in 1916 almost one billion dol
lars more than any Republican admin
~istration ever appropriated, and exclu.
sive Of preparedness items $430,000.-
900 In excess OF the last Republican
appropriation measure.
These r the same men who are
charging Republican extravaganza in
West Virginia and promising Demo.
cratic relief.
Democratic relief in the Nation is
costing almost twice as much as Re
publican extravaganza was costing.
And the method Of collection under
Democratic rule is burdensome where.
as under Republican rule It was indi.
rect and paid largely by the foreigner
doing business in American ports.
Do you want Democratic economy In
West Virginia?

The South Side bridge and Quincy street every afternoon

automobile who violates the clause Of the traffic ordinance
the mayor impose a moderate fine, say % each.
Inasmueh as a remarkably small percentage Of the peo-
pie who drive cars IN this town do tun corners in the
proper manner, the weeks work ought to net the city
treasury a thousand or fifteen hundred dollars. which
would cover. the cost of traffic regulation for a long time
even if a trip to Baltimore or Pittsburgh were thrown in.
Also the rigid enforcement of the law would have a
tendency to remind people that there is such a thing as a
traffic ordinance IN Faimont, and that in its turn will go a
long way toward relieving the dangerous condition which
exists every day.

dacity OF the Muleheaded Mexicans.s
s''We recently had the pleasure Of
travelling some distance with one 81
the most logical and brilliant OF NOR
tails this state contains. His occupa
tion Is that OF minister OF the Cos
pei. He has greater admiration foyl
nobility than for noise; he Is not
dogmatic but somewhat dramatic; hgH
Is capable Of seeing pathos IN thu
pathetic and subl!mity in the sub
lime; he is brainy enough to apprect
alto the intellectual grandeur OF Err
est Renan and brave enough to pro
claim his admiration for this grea5
F%renchman. He is an earnest adj
yocate Of real, profound education
which Is far different from the one
sided, lop.sided, superficial, patented
blownin.the.bottle monstrositylthat OF
ten masquerades as the genuine an
ticle. He thinks, with Ben Frankli1
that We should empty our pocket
books into our heads" instead o<I
adjoining u anatomy with the Mighty
frills OF fiippant fashion. He IS broad
enough to realize and to utter the sem
timent that truth is only found By
earnest, unprejudiced, examination Of
conflicting theories, by studying ting
volumes Of antagonlstic systems Of
thought. His words are q source Of
inspiration and Joy and the sensationa
OF many are beautifully expressed IL
these thrilling lines from Shelley:
Thou whose presence upon my win
Try heart fell like sweet spring upol

The London Times declares that because we did not
assume a different attitude we have forfeited post bel
lum rights that We might have enjoyed. Well. no news
paper, not even the Times, is able to speak for England
after the war, but We do not mind giving England a tip
that the big American post bellum problem as far as
Great Britain is concerned is to keep the Irish on this
side from taking steps to get even for the betrayal of
ireland.

"A Marlinton physician is in Jail charged with the
murder of his wife. The most damaging evidence
against him., II the local newspapers have told the
whole truth about the case, is that he has a temper
which frequently made the wife the victim of its vio-
lence. Soon or late the man who does not control him
self pays. This physician may not be guilty of the
charge hanging over him now. but think of what he
will have to go through.

The nomination of Myron T. Herrlck as Republican
candidate for Senator from Ohio will be followed by
his election, of course. And this assures to the Repub-
lican Senate which is to come in next March a member
who will be able to contribute a great deal to the task
of reforming the rural credits law which the Democrats
have Just placed on the statute books but which they
themselves do not expect to have in operation until
some time next spring. By that time a Republican
administration will be in charge and the work Of per-
fecting hasty Democratic legislation will have begun.
Meantime the Democratic press and the Democratic
stump will resound with praise of this imperfect and
Impractical legislation.

a CANDIDATE.

THE more we study the platform adopted by the Dem
l ocrats at their Parkersburg convention the more in
terested we become in the document. AT first it made
much the same sort Of an impression upon us that a really
gifted "%cusser" makes upon a small boy the first time the
urehin hears the ''cusser' cut loose. We really were
amazed that all that harshness. mud and abuse could be
made to marshal itself in orderly sentences.
We were sure that the mind. or minds. responsible for
it deserved credit for doing one Of the most perfect Jobs
on record Of a certain kind of political writing that drop
ped out of general use about two decades ago. But we
are beginning to change our mind. We feel now that
while the man who penned it thought he was merely writing
for the gallery; producing a philippe for the entertain
ment. and perhaps the conversion, of the rural voter who
likes his politics strong and straight, he actually was writ
ing into it a complete betrayal of the real purpose in this
campaign of the Democratic overlords.
The oyemastering passion of the men who are putting
up the money and hiring the brains going into the Demo-
cratic campaign in West Virginia this year is not to elect
Comwel. 1t is to smash Hatfield at any cost. There is
no way in which they can accomplish this purpose, for
Hatfield is not running for anything. but the desire to do
.lim some harm is so great that they cannot see that. They
tnke out .blndly, meanwhile neglectng their candidate.
The Parkersburg platform mentions Governor Hatfield by
name and directly five times; indirectly he is mentioned
twice as many more. John ]. Comwell is not mentioned
by name once. Even dead Democratic congressman fare
better than does their candidate for governor.

Quite a number of newspapers throughout the state
have taken notice of the movement for a bigger and
better Fairmont and all of them have been kind enough
to extend best wishes. Apparently Fairmont stands
well among the cities of the state. That is something
that the people who live here may well be proud of.
