This is not unusual at this time of

USTICE- FIFTY YEARS LATE

The last spark Of sectionalism in
regard to Government money is about
to be blown out. The Hay Bill. now
before the Senate. deals with the army
appropriatign. but carries with it a
repeal of an unjust discrimination in
the administering of the pension fund.
At present. NO money on account Of
pension shall be paid to any person.
or the widow. children or heirs of any
deceased person. who in any manner
voluntarily engaged in or aided in or
abetted the late rebellion against the
authority of the United States"
There have been several amend
mentS to the foregoing law. allowing
pensions to those who entered the ar
my after the Civil War and were dis
abled in the service. to those pen
sioners of the war 1872, the MeNi-
can War. the Indian Wars and the
War with Spain.
If the Hay Bill is passed. and that
is practically assured. parents of SOL
diers in the army can draw pensions
for the loss of a son, regardless of the
fact that the parent may be a Confed-
crate veteran or a Confederate widow.
The Government has taken over the
care of the Confederate cemeteries
and. with the wiping out of this old
law, will remove the last remnant Of
discrimination against the men who
fought for the Lost Cause.

After this he lined the players up and

SO much of organizing in the past

William S. Johnson, OF Mt. Hope,
Fayette County, who is candidate for
the Republican nomination for State
Treasurer in the primary to be held
June 9th. is well known to the voters
of the state He has made an enyiable
record in the educational and law
making work of the state, and as a
business man his experience and sue
cess proves him amply qualified to per-
form the duties of the Office to which
he aspires.
He is native of West Virginia,
being born in Favette county in 1873
His father was one of the pioneers in
that section of the state and his early
days We're spent on his fathers farm
Taking advantage of every opportunity
offered, he attended the public schools
and later became a teacher. So sue
cessful was he in this line of work
that he was elected county superin-
tendent of schools by an Overwhelming
majority, and the efficient manner in
which he performed the duties of that
office is proven by the great advance
ment made in the public schools of
Fayette county during his term
Mr.. Johnson was elected to State
Senate from the Ninth Senatorial dis
trict in 1904 and was reelected in
1908. It was as a member Of the legis-
isture that he gave good account of
himself to the people of the state The
Johnson Pistol Bill, which he intro
duced and had enacted into law, ridi-
culed somewhat at first, is now recog-
nized as a most excellent law, and is
being copied by many states. In West
Virginia it has served to put a stop to
the carrying Of concealed weapons and
has reduced murder at least fifty per
cent.
Senator Johnson was OF great serv-
ice in Introducing and pushing to
enactment progressive educational
legislation. He served as member of
the committee on Education and as
sisted in passing laws enabling the
public schools of the state to take ad-
vanced steps with other states He
assisted in the preparation of the
Educational Code; he is the author of
the compulsory school law, which in
creased school attendance by twenty
Eve per cent; he !abored successfully
FOR an increase in teachers salaries
and for the greater educational advan-
tages through an extension of the
school term; he tonight for state aid for
poor districts and for high schools.
which have been established all over
the state; through his efforts the
powers and duties of the county super
htendents were enlarged and the Of
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1916-03-18

ice made more effective
As chairman of the Committee on
Mines and Mining he fought to enact.
ment, against strong opposition, the
law organizing the Bureau of Mines,
which has done so much toward pre-
vcntion of loss of life and safeguard
ing the mining interests
He was Instrumental in having
passed many other laws of Importance
to the welfare of the state.
In recognition of his services in be-
half of the schools of the state, Sena-
ter Johnson was unanimously endorsed
by the teachers of Fayette County in
1911 for the Office of State Superintend-
ent of Schools.
As an>evidence Of the high esteem in
which he is held at his home town. at
tcution is called to the fact that he
served seven consecutive terms as
mayor.
Senator Johnson is good cam
paigner; is eminently qualified and his
nomination will add strength to the
Republican ticket; he is familiar with
the states needs.
The office of State Treasurer is an
important one. In addition to his
ether duties he is a member of. the
State Board of Public Works. Sena-
tor Johnson's experience in public life
and the business world tit him in an
especial manner for the exacting
duties of this high office. If the
Republicans of West Virginia nominate
and elect him State Treasurer. they
can rest assured that the duties of this
important Office will be in good and
capable hands
Mr.. Johnson makes the following
statement:
TO THE REPUBLICAN VOTERS
OF WEST VIRGINIA
! am a candidate for the Republican
nomination for State Treasurer, sub
iect to the Republican Primary and
earnestly solicit the support of every
voter in West Virginia, who wants to
see the Republican Party triumphant
in November.
| invite thorough investigation of
my public record, Republicanism, fit
ness and qualifications for this posi-
ton.
Fayette, one of the banner Repub-
lican counties of the State, has never
been honored with the nomination for
State Office
II nominated and elected it will be
my highest ambition to give the people
of the state an honest and business-like
administration and in handling the f.
nances OF the State my motto shall al.
ways be SAFETY FIRST"
Yours truly,
w. S. JOHNSON.
