THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

Abolished the fee system in state offices
and turned the fees into the state treas
ury, saving the state in two Offices alone
over $4,000 a year.
Abolished all fees in county offices and
put them on a salary basis, saving the
various counties of the state over $780,
900 a year.
Provided for county repositories, which
shall pay interest on all county funds.
Previous to the passage of the county de-
pository act all such interest, if paid, went
to the county sheriff.
Reformed the tax laws of the state and
put over $400, 100000 of corporate proper
ty on the tax rolls which had previously
entirely escaped taxation
Created a Tax Commissioners Office,
with power to enforce the tax laws; an
office which has saved the taxpayers hun
dreds of thousands of dollars annually.
Passed the uniform accounting law, re-
curing an adequate and effective system
OF accounts to be kept by all officials
handling public money.
Wiped out many large and cumbersome
boards and condensed their work in the
State Board Of Control which has intro
duced economy and the highest efficiency
IN all state institutions.
During its period Of control trebled the
number, extent and scope of the various
state institutions, and more than trebled
the amount of money paid by the state to
help support the local free schools. Of
every dollar of taxation collected by the
state of West Virginia in the last ten
years over sixty cents has gone to the sup
port Of the schools and humane institu-
tions.
Enacted the Compromised statewide
primary election law and stringent cor
rupt practices act, making it possible for
the voters to select as well as elect their
party candidates.
Supplementing these nine specific poi

Mock Preparedness. ~ Although
Congress was SO anxious to get work
started on the new battleships il au-
thoriaed this year that It provided
that the secretary OF the navy could
add a bonus Of twenty per cent OF tho
cost for speed, Secretary Daniels is
holding UP the plans for their CON
structlon and 1t is predicted by naval
officers that It win be far into the
next administration before tho keel
of a single battleshlp Is laid. Con
gress appropriated $6,0OO,0O0 Ia
make certain government navy yards
ready TO build these ships, because
OF the crowded condition OF the pri.
vate yards, but Daniels has held this
work UP entirely. Not n hand has
been turned toward preparing the
navy yards for the big task. All OF
this goes to show that the Wilson nd.
mlnistratlon is only for preparedness
when 1t believes Il can gain votes
thereby; and proves that real pre-.
paredness and Daniels cannot exist
in the same administration.

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

Jealousy guarded the old fee system
whereby deserving Democrats" were
able to pocket large sums of money which
are now turned into the state treasury.
Kept the old fees system for county Off
GERS making sinll-holes of corruption of
some of the counties and costing more
than $250,00O annually.
Allowed sheriffs to appropriate or to
share with favored banks all interest ac-
cruing on public moneys, a considerable
source of public revenue which now goes
to pay county expenses.
Overburdened the farm and home
owner with taxes and allowed the cor
porate interests practical immunity from
taxation
Tried its level best to abolish the Tax
Commissioner Office and destroy the tax
laws when the party had majority in the
House Of Delegates in 1911.
Tolerated the old hit-or-miss method Of
keeping public accounts under which dis
honest or careless officials had every OPP
portunity to misappropriate public funds.
Tolerated the old system of control of
state institutions by local boards, now
abandoned in all progressive states in
favor Of centralized administration.
Pursued at all times a penurious and
parsimonious policy toward, state institu-
tons. Utterly refused in 1872 and again
in 1879 to make any appropriation what
ever for the state normal schools. Kept
the university and other state schools
during the entire period on a semi-starva-
ton basis compared with state UNIVERSE
ties and educational institutions in other

Refused again and again to pass the

INDEPENDENT THOUGHT IN
POLITICS

Political prejudice Is q great foe
Of honest discussion; and honest dis
cussion is to be welcomed in a Presi-
Dental campaign.
Jones and Smith are keen minded
men who reason pretty much alike
on matters of business. But when
they get to talking politics they i'm
mediately mobilize and start throw
ing up trenches.
And why?
Because Jones has always been a
Republican and Smith has always
been a Democrat.
Jones thinks the Hughes speech
was a masterpiece of logic and die
ton. Smith thinks it was fivver.
So their political opinion is made
for them and accepted by them in
advance. Jones and Smith suffer by
the loss of the mental exercise they
might get by forming their own
opinions. The community loses the
benefit of the honest judgment of
two ordinarily sane minded men.
The independent, sane thinker who
arrives at his own conclusions stands
In the middle and throws his weight
on one side or the other as it is
needed. Jones and Smith are dead
weight at either end of the plank.
The thinking voter makes political
parties bid for his support with good
measures. He is the elevating force
in modern politics. When parties
prostitute their power he defeats
them and brings them to Their
senses.
Prejudice is the foe Of reason; and
blind craftsmanship is just plair

ROBINS AND HIS ANNOUNCE.
MENT

II is a pretty well established fact
that Raymond Robins, the chairman
Of the Progressive convention at Chi
cago, could have gained almost any
political reward he demanded il he
would have announced his return 20
the Democratic party and espoused
the cause of Wilson, the candidate,
and Wabble the policy.
The nomination for governor OF
Illinois was his for the taking and
the support of Roger Sullivan his for
the asking. But he neither asked
nor took. Instead his announcement
Of a determination to support Mr..
Hughes will lead thousands of Pro-
gressive Democrats into the Repub-
lican camp.
The Democratic leaders to whom
were assigned the job of bringing
Mr.. Robins "back to the fold" might
with much appropriateness address
to him the famous epigram which
Isaac Bickerstaff wrote on one of the
tables at the old Cheshire Cheese:
When late I attempted your pity te
move,
Whist made you SO deaf to m,
prayers?
Perhaps it was right to dissemble you,
ButWwhy did you kick me down
stairs?

TWO HUSBANDS OF -

b. She Married Second. go.

Los ANGELES. Aug. Superior
Judge Wood granted one man divorce
and another an annulment Of marriage
from the same woman and came nearly
turning her over to the district attor-
ney to be prosecuted on a charge Of
bigamy.
The woman was Mrs. Lenora Sac
kett-Van Dyck-Fulgham She admitted
having two husbands at the same time.
but said she believed her first husband
dead when she married the second. as
she read in a newspaper that man OF
his name was either burned or drowned
when the steamer Admiral Farragut was
burned at Seattle, July 30. 1914.
Branded by Judge Wood as biga-
mist who had satisfied herself on
flimsy pretext that her first husband
might be dead" the woman sat In the
witness chairman and wept bitterly. in
the end the Judge told her he woul
give her the benefit OF all the doubt
and would not turn her over to the dis
trict attorneys office.
One Of the conditions made by Judge
Wood was that the woman return to
relatives in the East at once.
William F. Van Dyck was the first
husband. and William z. Fhilgham. the
second.
