?j- osp the delegate convention just as
-they do in this county.
< A number of years ago the Uepub
.?/ ^if-ati party in convention assembled
in this county unanimously passed a
resolution doing away with the dele
gate convention so far as thp county
is concerned and there lias never
Vvn a? effort made to revive that
practice. while among the Demo
cratic leaders there has not even
&een a movement toward abolishing
"Chat system, which is becoming so
greatly and widely coudemned. and
there is nothing strange about their
failure to do so either, for the rea
son they regard it as a step toward
loosening their grip on the party.
For illustration, take the dis
graceful and treacherous biekerings
and plottings of the last Democratic
?eunty convention. The trickery
was so apparent that old-line Demo
crats to this day are as firmly con
Yinced of it as they were the day it
"happened, and when they left the
convention hall swearing vengeance
against those who had cheated them
?out of their rights and thwarted the
wiH of the convention. No, indeed,
one does not hear the West Virginia
Democratic politicians demanding
"primary elections, nor is there a
single sincere protest by the leaders
against the delegate convention.
Ohio Dmocrats will doubtless be
as deaf to the suggestion as West
Virginia Democratic leaders are
careful not to let such practices
ereep into their party.
THere is a concern in Pennsyl
vania operating two plants that
manufacture oil well tools. The
business is substantial but there is
a disposition to move one of the
plante to West Virginia, owing to
the inducements, and Clarksburg
might easily get the plant, if a prop
er site was offered, either free or at
reasonable price. Such a plant
-would give employment to fifty men
at high wajies and would be a good
thine in the industrial line. It
might also be an incentive for other
plants to locate here. Tt appears an
effort to get this plant would not be
out of order, and if successful, the
result would be very benetiiial to the
community. Suppose the effort be
made by those in position to make it.

MIXING SITUATION.
Coal operators in this region are
more hopeful than in mouths past,
because of the better outlook for
ample transportation facilities. The
past two years until early spring
mining operations in West Virginia
wpre greatly" stimulated because of
the great anthracite strike in Penn
sylvania in 1003 and the state's coal
reached all the markets artd proved
itself capable of meeting -the de
mands in quality, and ia -price it
was conducive to constancy jgrowing
consumption. But a clmngfl caihe
in March last year and the car sup
ply began to drop off gradually un
til by mid-summer the letter of
cars became a matter of gpave con
cern, not only with operators but
also with the miners themselves, who
began to feell^e effects of half work
or idleness altogether.
Tt is suspected that th? railroads
of other states and interests not es
pecially identified with West Vir
ginia and the state's development
and progress had something to do
with this shortage of cars, but it is
known in reality that the season was
such a very busy one in other lines
that there' was a heavy demand on
the railroad companies for transpor
tation futilities, and the regular sup
ply in the region here: was diverted
to a Urge extent from the field. Rut
wiili the busiest season in other
lines, especially western grain, over
the iyr -upply' is beginning to pick
up -rtlil'It i' eonfiderttnlly expected
tfiltshortly reach ijs TKirwal state.
J t may <;ven go beyond that and

?TOoiS'-tharf uniple in n><ref~ constant
iand fuil operation of nil the mine?
in thi- section and will he the pri
' murv eiuse of greater and more
?profitable work for the miners.
' I
Speaking -of the situatim, one
?wiitcr who hMi familiarized Jiiinsrl f
milfc-cimditimtK ba* th? following to
say, which inJui the point and cor
rctily giv? ??<.? situation:
"Jt remajhs to be seen whether the
busy fall afi-i tv inter reason wiU com
pensate for in ? spring and 6ununer
sliiciin-v- and rull up on aggregate
tonnage greater thaji trail recorded
for 1904, when more steady condi
tions prevailed. Coke was the first
to rally and prices for coke luivc
lnvn ai flioiT highest point This
product, more than eoaJ. seems to
keep -top to the steel and iron in
dustry. ami the prosperous condi
tion of that'industry is reflected in
the coke market. The price of
?coke. i*t is interesting to note, drop
ped in a sensational low point in the
spring, hut hegan to climb up after
the rnrn furnaces resinned after
their summer suspensions an<l it is
now atihe high ^i-miirk.
"One reason offered for the dull
ness hi the coat trade during the
summer was ?orcrprodnciion, and it
must he conceded that, the large
number of new mines opened in the
lnpt few years in this state offer a
good basis for that theory. But
over production, as a danger, lias
been lost sight of entirely now in the
demand for cars, which exceeds the
ability and equipment of the rail
roads to supply.
"The activity displayed in Hie
leasing and selling of coal lands,
I which has been marked for four or
| five years, continues and much of it
in grounded on faith in the future,
and is therefore speculative, but the
prices paid show that in the judg
ment of far-seeing capitalists coal is
never going to recede and must re
main the world's chief fuel. The car
problem enters into this sphere,
however, for it is undeniable that
there would have been more now
operations opened hail there had
been a&urances of sufficient car sup
ply. Thus the car shortage is a
blessing to that extent in which it
minimizes overproduction, if the
dissatisfied operators care to take
that consolatory reflection.
"The new year opens auspiciously
fr/im a labor standpoint. The un
rest noticeable in -the anthracite
region in Pennsylvania and in olher
bituminous states is not in evidence
jn_ West Virginia. Working eondi
here are'so ltnfch&mojfe favor
able, thicker and easier ^ veins to
juine, good pay and better treatment
from employers?-that the diggers
betray no anxiety other than a mu
tual concern with the operators over
lack of cars, for'these regulate the
number of working days. The or
ders for thousands of ears are begin
ning to have effect. Many of them
have already nrrived at the mirths,
fresh from The ear shops, iihd othihv
will come as fast at turned out. C\
notable achievement for West \rfr
gihia iri l!>0h was the capture of the
Panama Canal contract by the Fair
motn Conl Co. over all bidders. J ts
fine steam coal proved to be the best
in a series of rigid competitive tests
and this victory will pave the way
for others.
"On the whole, the coal trade has
been very prosperous, and it is the
abounding prosperity which has tax
ed the'capacity of the railroads in
other lines that has bothered the
eoal operators. But if there had not
been that general prosperity in the
land in steel, in iron and in other ,
manufacturing enterprises; logically, |
the coal man would have suffered in J
proportion."'
The Parkersburg State Journal is
very busy these days running
Stephen B. Elkins for president of
the United States in 1908. It ap
pears at this distance that much, but
not all, depends on the outcome of
rate regulation. The people gener
ally not only of West Virginia, but
also of the Nation, are demanding
and even clamoring for such legisla
tion, and the man who consults their
wishes and acts accordingly is most
likely to be in their favor. It re
mains to be seen whether Uncle
Steve will measure up to this on that
question. It has been eliaractcristic
of him to do so on most all other
questions, but on the rate question
there have already been some very
severe- criticisms of his attitude.
Likely, they are untrne, but time
will Ml, ?id, it js to be hoped he
will., act, with as .much wiidom-ion .
this a .5 on other great questions here
tofore passed on. The State Jour
nal doubtless takes it for granted he
will help pass the rate regulation
bill, acceptable to the national ad
ministration, else that paper is op
posed to the great measure Jhe pro
pie ask for.
From time to time, when Repub
licans from other parts of the state,
happened to drop into Clarksburg at
the same time, Democratic sheets
took much pains to announce that
"insurgent" meetings were being
held, though, in fact, there were no
such meetings. And but recently
the same sheets called attention to
the visit of Governor Dfrwson and
others here and referred to them as
the "machine clan." According to
those sheets both sides have had the
advantages- Clarksburg is supposed
to offer, and having somewhat evened
the two sides in that respect, there
will he less noise, when out-of-town
Republicans come again.

The old fair society proposes to go
right along holding its fairs, not
withstanding the report circulated
Iftr years inisehieviotisly meant that
the fair was to close out and not con
tinue any longer. There is one
thing sure, Hiid that is, that there
is to be n fair this year as usual, and
there is every reason to conclude that
| it is going to be better and greater
than ever. There is no getting
around the fact that the dates have
been fixed for the next fair and that
arrangements have already begun to
