GOOD CUSTOM REVIVED.

THE announcement that when Judge Robinson
comes to Marion county on Friday Of this
week to make speech in support Of his can
sdidacy for the governorship he will be given an
escort Of men mounted horseback, and that there
wil be an automobile parade in his honor will
arouse widespread interest It will also revive
memories Of an earlier day when men did things
like that all over the country as regular feature
p8 every campaign.

UNMASKED,

IT HE publication by James H. Marcum, pot-
i ical changeling and chronic office seeker, Of
a collection of letters revealing conspiracy
to place Judge Robinson in false light before the
people, has failed utterly to create the sensation ex-
pected OF it, but it has served purpose not intend
ed by the cOnspirators, and one which Republicans
Will turn to good account.
The Marcum letters bring into the open set of
men who have been stabbing the Republican party
in the back for years, and who, though claiming to
be Republicans, and at times active in support of
Republican candidates. have never been Rcpubli-
cans in principle, but have sought merely to use
the party to further the aims of interests to which
they welded.
Mckell, Vinson and Houston, the sponsors for
this attack upon Judge Robinson, are now unmask-
ed-a development which ought materially to SIM
pify the situation The Marcum letters recall an
other incident OF the campaign; that is, meeting
in New York City between G. w. Watson, Chair
man Glen Shaver, Of the Democratic State Commit.
tee, Geo. |. Neal, Taylor Vinson 7. E. Houston and
W. c. Mckell, at which time Vinson, Mckel and
Houston entered into an agreement with Neal Wat
son and Shaver to deliver 10000 Republican votes
to John j. Cornwel, the Democratic candidate for
Governor.
With these facts in mind, nobody need be deceiv-
ed. Taylor Vinson has for twelve years sought to
use the Republican party to further the selfish ends
OF interests he represents lie has tried to dictate
the nomination Of Republican candidates for Gov
ernor from the day he entered the Republican par
ty, back about 1896. He has failed to do this on
practically every occasion, and has sought there
upon to elect Democratic Governor more in SYM
patty with his plans.
Politics, political principles, are as na,isht to him.
He engaged in politics not as means of helping
the people: but as means of standing between the
people and their best interests. lie does not believe
that the masses have any rights and with stern
Imperialism stands for corporate domination
AS for the others in this conspiracy to deliver the
Republican party to wisconsin, Houston is not
even citizen of West Virginia. and McKell, like
V1nson, his long time associate, is blind to all in
terests save his own.
Failing to nominate Republican candidate
amennble to their purposes, these men are openly
trying to carry out compact with the Democratic
nominee, who manifestly, must represent what
they desire and what they will demand of the next
Governor of West Virginia
Under such conditions can there be any doubt as
to Republican duty9
Does not this situation menace not only the in
tegrlty OF the Republican party but the safety of
the people rights in West Virgina9

at all. The, preacher Of today, he
said, had been al failure in treating
social questions from a Christian
standpoint, with the result that the
people had been influenced by the
dangerous theories advanced by more
that "57 varieties" Of. socialism.
The speaker contended that unless
the Christian ministry got to work at
once, the socialists and anarchists
would be supreme, and the church
will be responsible for all the results
which must follow. 1t was not neces-
sary, he said, to enter into any phllo-
sophical questions to set mems minds
right, but just to follow the old Chris
tan principles, the teachings OF
Paul's time, when men were, taught
in simple way the proper relations
between husband and wife, between
employer and employee, and all the
everyday problems, which means SO
much for happiness and morality.
The questions of social life today, he
said, could be readily solved by read
ing the Old and the New Testament,
and what the people wanted now
were Christian leaders who could
present the Scriptures practically
and in a manner to enlighten and en-
courage them.
"The times are appealing" the
speaker said, "to the church to fill the
social movement with the spirit of
Christ, which always and everywhere
is the spirit of love, service and sac
rifice, and makes the world one in
a genuine brotherhood"
The minister is right. If all relig-
ious teachers would strive to impress
upon the world the Importance of liv-
ing according to the teachings of the
Bible, there would be much less dis
content and trouble In ChlS world. -

s.lse ~ no man, and be content with

How much trouble and bitterness
could be avoided were all to act upon
this good advice.

THE MRS. MOHR MURDER TRIAL

charging her with being an accessory

der of her husband, who was way
laid along road near that city last
August and shot to death by hircings

pears likely to DC serious to The wife
of the dead man. The negro chauf-
fcur turned States evidence and gave
damaging testimony, and two other
negroes one an employee and the cth-
or a discarded employee Of DR.. Mohr,
have also contributed testimony which
tends strongly to establish the guilt
of the wife in having conspired to kill
her husband. The: motiveFawhich Tho
States witnesses tend to establish is

COMMISSIONER OF
MORAL WELFARE"

As ght have been expected, tie
:;jsgs, a4l In of the Anti-Saloon Lea
..g. n Virginia to add another use
lcg: Scr upon tho already over
zar&@.5 tax payers OF Virginia is
tt,l.,ng,as out determined opposition.
The constitution places upon the Co..
ernor the responsibility of seeing 20
the enforcement of the laws. Now
that prohibition is fact, or will be
before the year shall have expired,
why not vest the executive with po,.-
er to enforce the new law?
The Richmond Times-Dispatch in
commenting upon the plan to create
the Office of Commissioner of Moral
Welfare" says:
Not only is there no valid and
adequate reason why the enforcement
of the prohibition laws should be
taken from the immediate direction
of the Governor Of the State, but
there are controlling reasons wny
this duty and possibility, with the
accompanying authority, should net
be separated from the executive Office.
Above the Commissioner of Moral
Welfare" and TO some limited extent
in authority over him would be tho
Governor of Virginia, bearing part OF
the responsibility, but without direct
supervision of the office and its sub
ordinate officials. We would have
again the old curse of divided power.
If the Governor kept hands off and
things went wrong. it would be saif
that he had failed to do his duty. If
he interfcrcd and things went wrong,
he would DE charged with obstructirg
law enforcement. In either event, ii
there were failure Of efficiency, he
and the Commissioner Of Moral Wei
fare would be in a position to shit
responsibility back and forth.
How much better it would be to
keep responsibility where the Consti-
tuition places it. and to supplement it
with adequate appropriations and SUI
ficicnt authority! DO this, and il the
prohibition statutes are not faithfully
executed, the people of Virginia will
know whom TO blame And who says
or dare say, that there is q man in
the State who would discharge this
trust with moro fidelity than Henry
G.. Stuart?

fher husband was attentive. At the
time Of the murderous assault on the
dark road the physician was accom-
panied by his stenographer and shl
herself was wounded by one of the
shots. Testimony has been adduced
also to show that Mrs. .Mohr had
threatened one or more of the young
women associates of her husband with
violence if they persisted in accept
ing courtesies or attention from him.
The sex of the prisoner IS ner great
est safeguard against conviction OF
first degree murder. We shall be sur
prised if the jury agrees on verdict
of guilt, but would be more surprised
if verdict of not guilty were return
cd. In fact, we anticipate that a mis-
trial will result and the woman may
ultimately 60 free, even though she
be guilty. This is but another mani
festation of that sex discrimination
in the administration Of law against
which we have often inveighed.
Thursday we published commun-
ication protesting against the convic-
ton of woman on charge of capt.
tai crime, but we are not quite clear
whether the writer regarded such q
conviction as unjust because women
had no voice in making or administer
ing the laws, OF whether he based his
protest against the execution Of a
North Carolina murderess (and infer
emily of any othcr) upon his general
opposition to the imposition Of CAPT
tai punishment by law. The growing
demand for the abolition of Capital
punishment for crime is beginning TO
undertermine our system Of justice.
Already in Virginia such penalty
has been virtually repealed by an act
of the last General Assembly giving
juries the option of making life ira-
prisonment an alternative for capital
punishment
