OF Trust

There is no such issue, so far as Ame,1cn
is concerned.
The Dutch and Germans Of the Shenandoah
Valley were as good soldiers as any that
fought with Stonewall jackson; and the
Salzburgers of Georgia have been as true as
steel In all our wars
The Germans of the West are as loyal to
our flag, as are the Dutch of New York, the
Scotch of North Carolina, the Irish of Ten
nessee, and the French Of louisiana
Sympathes which citizens of the United
States may feel, for and against the warning
nations of Europe, do not lessen their loyalty
to this Republic
It is worse than folly to pretend that
German sympathiser is not as good an Amer
lean, as an English French sympathiser.
Therefore, it seems to me that President
Wilson takes the wrong line, when he accuses
the German Americans Of moral treason.
The President says-and the Platform he
dictated, repeats-that there have been con-
sp5rac5es among us, organized in the interest
Of Germany.
He might have gone farther and said, that
the conspiracies have resulted in dynamite
outrages, powder explosions, arsons, and
murders.
But who were the chief criminals? They
were the immediate lieutenants of the German
ambassador.
Who were those lieutenants of Ambassador
Bernsdorff?
Their names were Boy-ed and Won Pappen.
What became of them?
They fled to Germany, where the Kaiser
rewarded them for the success of their
criminal conspiracies in America.
Does anybody doubt that Bernsdorff's lieu
tenants acted under Bernsdorff's orders2
No sane person does.
Can there be any doubt that the German
government financed those criminal Con-
spiracies.
None! Absolutely none!
Our government, as we'll as the British
government, is in possession of written proof
Of the completely of Bernsdorff and his gov
eminent; and when the Kaiser publicly
rewarded the criminals, he proved that he
had been party to their crimes.
Do Wilson and Hughes denounce the
Kaiser?
Does the Democrats or the Republicans
denounce Bernsdorff2
Not a bit of it. Why not9
They crouch and cri11ge to tile Ge11ea7-

For whom do the Bosses of both the old
Twins reserve the thunders of their denuncia
tion9

When law-made Trusts can pocket 300
per cent profits, what conditions does the
robbery inflict upon the robbed?
When gasoline scars from SIX cents to 25
cents, what does that mean to the man whose
living depends upon his motor-boat or his
motor truck?
When railroads admit excess profits, totall-
ing hundreds of millions, how is it with the
shippers, from whom those excess profits
were wrung?
When the national banks admit undivided
profits and capital of more than ta0o thousand
millions of dollars, in what sort of fix does
that congestion of wealth leave the common
man?
When these national BANKS on May 1, 1916,
hold deposits to the amount of fourteen thou
sand millions Of dollars, tell me, tell met
what's the plight of the men who earned that
stupendous pile of money, and couldn't heep
Why couldn't they keep it?
THE LAIV WOULDN'T LET THEM!
The law was made for the purpose of TAX
ing that money from it's producers, and trans
fering it to the silk-hat thieves that never
produced dollar in all their lives
BY silk-hat thieves, [ mean the gentry who
charge 200 per cent. interest on loans; those
who extort 800 per cent. dividends for Ex-
press Companies, Railroad Companies, Manu-
featuring Trusts and Sleeping-Car Com
panles.
Wilson has been under the thumb of these
robbers, ever since he became President; and
the first task to which he addressed his
Presidential attention was TO zeg0lige the
Money Trust, which Aldrich and the Repub-
licans had been unable to accomplish.
If Hughes should be elected, Special Privi-
lege won't care.
IF Wilson should be reelected Special
Privilege won't care
The change of cars will not change the
route or the destination.
The Cormorant has two wings: the devour-
ing Eagle, two: the buzzard, two; and Special
Privilege has two-one labelled Republican"
and the other, democrat"
One wing may flap awhile, and then the
other; but, "most ingenerally", both wings
flap, at the same time. That's what they are
doing, now.
If no third ticket enters the field, THE
PEOPLE aoom't hare any candidate, at ozI;
and the two wings of Special Privilege will
continue to beat the air, as though there were
something doing; but the only purpose of
those two wings will be, to speed the buzzard
on his way and keep him up, where he IS.
It's all bosh to pretend that there is an
issue between the Americans and the German
Americans.

ELECTION CORRUPTION

THE other day when the Democratic newspapers
throughout the state were printing in big type
reports about an investigation by federal
grand jury Of alleged election corruption in Nc
Dowell and Mingo counties this newspaper called
attention to the fact that the penientiary yawned
for lot of Democratic politicians who have per-
sistently violated the election laws in Marion
county.
Now comes Senator E. T. England, of Logan.
who has begun his campaign for election as attor-
ney general and calls attention to the fact that
right in the end of the state where the Democrats
who control the machinery of the federal courts
would have the.pubc believe the Republicans have
debauched the elections there have been some
shocking displays of election corruption and def
ance of the processes of the courts In his very first
speech Senator England said
IF the Democrats are sincere In this declar-
alton Of principles. we invite them to investi-
gate conditions in my home county. Logan.
One Of the Democratic election officials, two
years ago. who entrusted with taking cleo
ton supplies to the voting precinct at which
he was commissioner became, and suppose
purposey so. very much intoxicated. and these
supplies were never delivered to the voting
place. Consequently no election was held at
that precinct. This what is known as
Sharpless precinct. one of the largest Repub-
lican precincts in the county. This election
official, together with others who aided in de-
stroying the popular will Of the people. were
indicted by grand jury Of Logan county. The
democratic prosecuting attorney Of the county
would not prosecute the case, but nollied it.
This is .s only one instance Of the Democratic
gan county Democratic machine. We have
never heard Of any Federal investigation Of
these conditions by the Democratic Federal
authorities, although the papers were full Of
1t at the time it happened"
Nor will they hear of it. The Webster Springs
proceedings were political entirely. They were
undertaken in the hope that they would prejudice
the minds Of all good citizens throughout the state
against the candidates Of the Republican party and
terrorize the unsophisticated Republicans who live
in the counties which came within the scope of this
alleged investigation into staying away from the
polls on the day Of the general election

LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR
WHY?.


FAIRMONT, w. Va, Sept. s.
Editor the West Virginian.l-Why
Is 1t that the street paving on Locust
avenue between Fourth and Mccoy
streets has been allowed to fizzle out
after having been started so bravely q
few weeks ago?
Locust avenue Is one Of our main
thoroughfares and is the only means
Of access to the properties between
Fourth street and Cleveland avenue,
yet the force" on the paving work
has been allowed to dwindle down to
a couple Of men or SO and a boy while
the paving on the upper end Of Jack.
son street and at other places where
there is little or no traffic has been
pushed to completion.
There is good deal Of talk about
Locust avenue people being kickers
but when tbs situation is sized up
correctly they will be found to be just
about the average citizens Of Fair
mont, as we'll as taxpayers, and 1t Is
up to some one to show why they have
not just reasons and plenty Of them
for demurrirS.
That awful section between Mccoy
street and Cleveland avenue is, of
course, the subject OF all our thoughts
and prayers and that seems to be
about as far as we can go pending
the cessation of the wars In Europe
and Mexico and other things which
have direct bearing upon the stu
alton.

TACT ESSENTIAL

DoUBTLEss it is true, as Mrs. Carrie Chapman
- Gait declared in her speech yesterday before
the National American Woman Suffrage asso-
citation, Of which she is president, that the women
OF Europe will come out of the war with new
sense OF dignity and clearer appreciation of their
own Importance. But the sex will make mistake
II it expects too much from that circumstance
Several million men are going to come out of the
war with changed vision and enlarged social status
There will be new virility among the masses of
Europe, and the women will need to use tact if
they are to realize the utmost from the advances
they have been able to make while the men were
at the front fighting the battles of their countries
These men are going to have ideas that will
sound strange in the ears of people who have learn
ed nothing since the war began. Sweeping polit.
ical changes will follow in the Teutonic coun.
tries 1t may be that these men will conclude that
political privileges and the resultant responsible
tiles for women will further their plans If they do
well and good But on the other hand, if the men
have to be taught the women will do well to 90
about that in the right way. Militancy will serve no
better purpose when the warts over than it did be.
fore And it just possible that it would cost all the
gains they have made by reason of activities in the
service of the nations.
