One OF the greatest sources Of Demo.
cratic wastefulness has been the I.
alton of commissions which, II they
are to be Judged by results, were de-
signed primarily and In many in
stances solely to provide soft snaps for
deserving Democrats" The Fed.
eral Trade Commission, the Farm
Loan Board, whose members receive
$4,000 a year salary and expenses;
the High Joint Commission on Pan.
American Relations; the Commission
to Investigate the Railroads; the Alas.
kan Commission; the Commission on
the Feasibility Of the Governments
Manufacturing its Own Munitions; the
Naval Consulting Board; the Mexican
Commission (created by the President
without the authority or advice Of
Congress-; the Commission on the
Mobilization Of Industries; the Com.
mission on the Cancellation of Labor,
etc, have all been created by this ad.
ministration and their maintenance in
wolves great and almost wholly unnec-
essary expense. Furthermore, a num-
Der Of commissions which have done
useful work and served their purpose,
but which should have been abolished,
are being maintained for no apparent
purpose except to afford soft snaps
for deserving Democrats" And now
comes the tariff commission, with six
members at $500, to say nothing Of
expenses. the salaries Of a secretary,
clerks, ETC., created by a Democratic
administration solely as a matter OF
political expectancy, as has been point
ed out by such prominent Democrats
as Rep. Claude Kitchin, Senators John

car Underwood. It is even generally
believed that John Lind Is still on the
government payroll, although the State

Bacon a Candidate.


New Workers. generally are consid.
erably interested in the announcement
Of Robert Bacon's candidacy for the
Senate. He will oppose former Rep.
Calder, whose candidacy received the
approval Of the Republican convention.
The Republican managers view the
Bacon candidacy with compliacency.
as they regard him as a high class
mar and believe that the ante-primary
campaign which will be conducted by
Messrs. Calder and Bacon will do much
to arouse the voters and to work up
enthusiasm, irrespective of who is
nominated at the primary. The Demo-
cratic leaders profess to believe that
the Bacon candidacy is the precursor
of a serious split in the Republican
ranks.

Evening Chat

Engineer stoneking and his assist
ants at the Fairmont City Pump sta
ton have, by quietly doing something
every day for a long time, transform.
ed the station and the grounds around
1t from an ugly homogeneous blotch on
the shore Of a beautiful river to a
pleasant and delightful pale to work
which lends variety and interest to the
scenery along the Valley river.
The grounds are neat and a healthy
carpet at grass covers the ground
between neat walks and ornate flow
er beds. Below the station and the
immediate ground surrounding It is
a beautiful little grove that has been
trimmed and carefully kept until now
1t has a truly tropical appearance dur
ing these warm days of summer.
This effect is the result OF a rath.
er unique sort OF landscape garden
ing one one who views this attempt by
the engineers and firemen at the pump
station may well wonder IL these men
should not be also allowed to try their
hands at directing some similar land
scape work along the right Of ways
OF the local railroads. .
The entire grove Is Of carefully
tended Sumac trees. These trees are
hardy and seem to be about the only
thing that will readily grow in the
barren spots beside a railroad. While
they are common enough in this Sec
ton of the country one seldom ap-
preciates their beauty until they are
thus separated and properly arrang-
ed. Each little tree is whitewashed
SO that the branches do not grow too
close the ground and seen collective
ly from a distance might easily
imagine 1t to be a veritable palm
grove in miniature. The grass beneath
these trees is closely clipped and free
from weeds SO that the place is the
envy Of all picnic parties that travel
past toward the up.river summer
homes and camps. At the waters
edge beside the little grove is m
OF the best swimming holes, with a fine
spring board for diving, that car be
found along this river.
