Bitter But Beneficial Criticisms.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

There will be no gainsaying the right of Melville
e. Stone whose genius directed the affairs of the
Associated Press for many years speak upon public
affairs OF these he has been rghtfully regarded
an international exponent, clothed with authority
His part in bringing about the ending of the Russo
Japanese War and launching the Portsmouth con-
ference was fully as great and in part exceed that
of Roosevelt who gained the credit in the of the
world
1t is the view of Mr.. Stone that the judicial
dominance found in the tripartite system
Government is unhealthy and the a great
extent of the improper working of the machinery
The fundamental idea of three equally co-ordnated
branches, he holds, is inoperabe. Others have said
the same in protest of the usurpation of the domain
of the executive and legislative by arrogant Judges
and the tendency to insist Court review before
accepting laws official orders. More recently
of the leaders of the American Bar Association has
pointed out that the tyranny of the Courts and the
subservience of attorneys to Judges frghtful
distortion of system of jurisprudence bound to
lead to calamtous results.
Chief among the veteran Observers criticisms of
conditions the decay of leadership the national
Legislature. Broad craftsmanship seeking the well
fare of the whole country had been succeeded by
parochiasm, the legislators, alas, having only dis
trict minds. In the place of leaders had the
rule of the blocs, groups motivated by single
interests AS result there was chaos where in
teligent action is indicated. This deplorable condi-
ton was accentuated by the unsettled doubt as to
the proper relations between the President Con-
gress confusion as old as the republic itself.
These are sadly serious subjects to ponder Lest
they be considered as the thoughts of a single and
prejudced person. it is we'll regard the utterances
OF the successor of the late Senator Boies Penrose
OF Pennsylvania the head of the premier commit
tee that of Finance, Porter J. McCumber of North
Dakota. In discussing and denying the rumor that
The Middle and Far West propose to even up mat
tiers with the East in the matter tariff and inan-
cial legislation he accepts the Stone standard for
legislative representation, utterng this sentiment
which will or ought to be universally accepted:
We not only need in the United States
Congressman who have a reasonable ac-
quaintance with the industries of each and
every part of this country, its finances and
its commerce, from Boston to Portland and
from Canada to the Gulf-men who can
sympathize with the necessities and the as
pirations of every section-but l think can
say with equal candor need an American
press that will be equally broad and SYM
pathetic in its views

FIGHTING FOR THE SPOILS.

= Although the late Senator Penroses place in the
Senate has been filed his position as the controlling
factor in the Republican organization the State of
pennsylvania still remains vacant. No man. or even
group has yet been successful in graspng the power
which Penrose held in his partys organization in
the State. Since almost the day of his death Penn
syiVania politicians have been jockeying for that
power and for the most part without marked success
With the appointment of George w. Pepper il had
been though that the situation might be clarified
but this has not proven be the ease The fight
still RACES and ii is claimed that Senator Pepper
will have relatively little political influence within
the state for some time
Prior to Senator Penrose's death, owing to his
illness there was considerable friction the organi-
cation None of the leaders were bold enough to-
oppose his will. but they did stage fights among
themselves which would have been ruthlessly crushed
had Penrose been keen in former years Gov
Sproul, since the death Of Penrose, has made re-
peated efforts to settle differences in the organization

Increase in Claims.

The number of mineral claims ir the Mayo area
continues steadily to increase Every mail brings
applications for properties being staked now even in
winter, and the mining recorders office at Dawson
is kept exceedingly busy recording the newly staked
claims and filing certificates of work on the old
claims and making all the necessary entries and
issuing the renewal certificates to owners
Between 1900 and 1900 claims are now in ex-
stence in that This number covers but small
portion of the recognized mineralized of that
district in which biologists have stated that first
class discoveries may be made. Room exists for
thousands to prospect and stake in addition to those
already in the field. The claims cannot all be ex-
pected to be payers but the rich found to date
world offer better inducements the prospector
The Mayo district needs not only prospectors but
also men who will develop the properties once the

will do much work possible they NAV soon re-
veal sufficient surface indications enlist the aid of
capital in thorough development.
In the Keno Hill eevry company which has
entered the field is remaining The prospectors who
have gone there also remaining The develop

THE sTATE SENATE PREsmENoY.


HE WEST v1RGtNIAN would like to sec
George WI. Bowers made president of the
new State Senate when It is organized in Charles
ton next January: This newspaper believes that
Senator Bowers has all the qualifications that
make splendid leader. There are hundreds Of
our readers who VIII agree with this belief,
men and women who know. Mr., Bowers personally
and recognize his fitness for the honor.
Senator Bowers Is well known in Fairmont and
elsewhere, as a man who is power when he
bends his energies to accomplishment. His per-
sonai interest IN a movement IS force to be
reckoned with. and his loyalty to his convictions
cannt be shaken. West Virginia, as well as all
the rest of the states needs business men to direct
its administration policies Senator Bowers Is this
type of man and since his election in 1890 he has
given the state proof that man who can conduct
his own large business interests well and success
fully, can also be relied upon TO conduct state
affairs toward the same success. The committee
assignments that have been his are substantial
proof of the respect HIS Judgment commands
among his fellow state senators. His service
throughout has been commendable and able.
OF the fifteen hold over senators, from whose
ranks the new president will doubtless be APP
pointed, there are, none who are quite SO well
qualified as Senator Bowers, in the opinion Of The
West vifginian, and the hope will continue to Be
strong that the honor win be accorded Mr.. Bowers

NOT DESIRED HERE.

N noRGANToWN Is having a mad dog scare, the
Iva heads Of three dogs have been sent to the
state laboratory at Charleston, and three other
dogs are at the medical school Of the University,
under observation. Consequently the city of Nor
ruled that all dogs not closely confined, or secure
~ muszled or on leash will be promptly shot,
The dog catch usually operates in the spring
and summer and takes vacation when fall ar
riyes. but any city government should recognize
the fact atthe stray, starved homeless cur Is g
menace anywhere, at any time, and the public
should be protected from him. The thing should
work both ways, too. Every dog that acts queerly
Is by NO means afflicted with rabies. The dog
may be sick dog, or may be thirsty dog, or
merely a;trightened, lost dog. To pull out a pis-
tol and shoot valuable dog, perhaps treasured
family pet merely on suspicion is reprehensible
thing TO dos only a direct attack made blythe dog
can excuse or warrant such an action.
Every city has certain number OF stray dogs
that should be disposed Of. II the city is rid Of
these there will be little danger of mad dog
alarm. Dogs with owners and protectors are
closely watched at home, and II anything peculiar
Is observed the dog gets prompt attention, but a
stray cur, homeless and frlendless, may do ir-
yeparabie damage before he is overtaken, land may
go for days on his terror ridden way before he
dies or Is killed.
Morgantcwn and Its outlying districts are hay.
Ing prettySsenous anxiety at this time, although
the tests at Charleston have not yet confirmed
the Suspicion Of rabies. If F'airmont officials
would make an Investigation Of dog circles it
might save this city like scare.
