CLEANING UP A COUNTY.


(From the Hampshire ReVieW.)
Wyoming county has sent seven
teen moonshine distillers to the pen
itentiary for long terms, and The
county, mountainous one, with coal
mines, is said to be clear Of stills.
Prohibition Commissioner Hallanan
says the credit is due Judge Bailey
and Prosecutor Shannon. They are
good, fearless men who did their
duty energetically. The writer APP
pointed Judge Bailey to the Circuit
Bench, to succeed Judge Damron,
of MingO county, who resigned. He
was subsequently elected by a large
vote We would not take any cred
it from him, for he is fearless and
able, but we have no doubt the good
citizens of Wyoming rallied around
the judge and prosecuting attorney
and backed them up. Active, Ell.
ergetic and fearless officer are a
tower of strength, but they can not
convict criminals unless citizens as
Jurors, also do their part. The pub.
lie can make diiatory officials, high
and low, move, whether they will Or
not.
So all power, at last. lies with
the people. In times like these, an
aroused public conscience is neces-
sary. Citizens feel, sometimes, that
violations Of the law are no. mat.
ters in which they are itterested F.;
that they are matters for the public
officials to deal with. Primarily pub
lie officials must act, bit duty rests
upon the citizen as well Public
support Of law officers is needed IN
this hour Public pressure upon
those who are resistant in the dis,
charge Of their duties, is likewise
needed The laws Of the land must
be enforced or we are headed icr

abiding citizens must get out in the

to Washington, Colonel Golf show
ed himself to be possessed OF
brilliant legal mind, and this talent
has been further displayed and
sharpened since his connection
with the government, 1rst in the

ing the war and now az assistant to

Colonel COTS title a little mixed
when he refers to him as assistant

is assistant to the attorney general.
There are numerous assistant at

sistant to the atty general. Col
Onel Golf, in this capacity, is the
attorney generals right hand man.
At present he is engaged in investi-
eating war contracts, a stupendous
task and one requiring the best
legal talent and training. Although
having been placed on this work
only a short time ago. he has &C.
complished much already. II is
safe to say that the work would
not have been entrusted to any but
one in whom the attorney generel
had the utmost confidence.
While private reports indicate
that Colonel Golf is disinclined to
become a candidate for public Of
flee and even has a desire to return
to his former home at Clarksburg
some day and resume the private
practice Of law, circumstances
appear to have conspired to have
bigger things in store for him. His
past record and his present work
mark him as the kind OF man the
government needs, and if Attorney
General Daugherty should resign,
Colonel Golf seems by circumstanc.
es to be the logical man for head Of
the department Of Justice.
The possibility that West Viz
ginian Of Colonel Colts Galore soon
may be called upon to assume the
duties of the highest legal office in
the government will be received
with pleasant anticipations by his
numerous friends of this state and
by other West Virginians who de-
