...The Virginian on Bevera] occasions
N lias printed "editorials about the rake
off in building, the court house and insinuating
that money - was evpendpd
for which the county got nothing in
_ return. The Times believes that our
. people should know at! about such I?>
regularities and that the Virginian
00 should be compelled to disclose a<l the
00 information which it has at hand. The
00 Times now calls for the proof, If any
oo It has, or hereafter be branded as a
50 public falsifier. Come on with your
44 f rqpf. IpsinugtipDsA: don t - go. We
want the proof.?Times.
>r. Vou shall hove It. It is a matter of
record that a Democratic County Court
= asked for'a bond issue for the purpose
ld of erecting'u new Court-house. The
people were afraid to trust the court
111 Vilh the money and voted down the
bunds. Then under cover of 'night
? the old Court-house was town down
nnd a temporary building was erected
, on 'ground belonging to.'the'"County
Clerk and afterward given to'him. , A
contract was let for a building to cost
}132,OUO and tlie court, in. defiance of
the will of the people and without "regard,
to the law, openly admitting its
- violation, began Issuing outstanding
orders for the erection of the building.
Blunder after blunder was made and,
every few days there was another
cull for "crders.'' That thins was
. kept up until orders. ajnountlng to
tjtfUO.OOO had been given and thus we
had a debt of "more than a quarter of
n million dollars saddled onto "its and
a ere was nothing to show for It except
n Court-house, tb?. contract price
of which was $ 132,000. }t iff to use

ter's of record. Either Democratic Incompetency
or dishonesty, or both,
are responsible lor the Iosb to the
people or *3OS,000, a pretty good mim
we should say anil a debt we still owe

"AS BILL SAYS." r
The County Chairman last night
frequently quoted supposed words of
Shakespeare, referring to them in the
terms, "As Bin Says." Well, "Bill"
wrote a play . orfee on "Much AJo
About Nothing." We never read one '
of Baby Makeshift's long winded, doit 1
ble column, black face stunts that we ~
don't think of Bill's play. This morn. 1
Ing he quoted about half the. code rela- '
tlve to the drawing of grand juries. E
For the past week or two he has rant- 1
ed and raved about the property books, c
registration list and the Dog Tax ;
books. To-day he says: 1
"The most serious question of all is, E
that the county court guessed at the
levy. It was not made from the cer- '
tilled returns of the assessors' boohs 1
as provided by law. ThlB fact Is prov- '
en by the absence of the personal 1
property books." "
For the benefj^of- people who may '
not Know aoouc mesu matters, it iuuj W^well'
tir Btafe that nevetrJlft*the"h'lB- '
tory of Marion county was a levy made
from tbe "certified returns of the assessors'
books." It is always made
on an estimated valuation. It cannot
be otherwise. Tlie books are not
certified and returned for filing until
the "extensions are made and tbe extensions
are based on tbe levy bb fixed
by the court. Thus our wise friend
is asking an Impossibility. Thua-the
Times.again exposes its littleness and
dishonest tactics.
STILL MORE BABY TALK; >>
It seems bardTor the Times to have e
grown Vp ways. It whines around
bout this- and that litre ft spoiled c
child. We never heard so much com- J
plaining since "Hholt was a pup." One f
would actually think the county was 1
In the hands of Democrats to see how g
distrustful of everybody and every- thing
that sheet Ib. Column after col- >
umn or tlie-veriest'* tot Is run in whtit 3
are supposed to be the serldus parts s
of the paper. If it had a children's r
page or a humorous sbctlon then it
might be appropriate lo.let Baby Con- a
away write for It. Hie little babbling l
is becoming so positively disgusting t
to decent people that time . and again t
Democrats and Republicans .alike have t
come-to the editor/of the West Vir- c
ginian and suggested that not a word c
ought to be said In reply. He Is fast t
becoming a common scold; He oom- i
plains of the laws,- he complains 'of E
the County Court, he complalns^of the |
sheriff and the .County Clerk. In i
short, he acts for all the world like |

Filling Pennsy .
Streams with Fish
ennsylvania railroad distributes
minnows by the
ten thou8and.
V
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 27.?Early,
n this year, the Pennsylvania railroad
indertook a rather, novel experiment
r-that of assisting in> stocking the
nountaln streams of Pennsylvania
vtth flsk. The experiment has proved
10 ' successful that henceforth it ' will
>e continued with increased vigor. The
company, in this work,-.Is co-operating
vith the United.'States, government
ind the State government of Penn?
lyivanla.
More than 150,000 minnows, none of
hem more than an inch long, have
teen turned over to the railroad by.
he.State of Pennsylvania. The State
Department of Fisheries did not have
:nough money at its command to dls
rtbute properly all tbe tlsii it find to
lispose of, an l when all the clubs and'
awJantUs that waitedvhpyfih
shed putting In their applications It
coked as if the other thousands
vould have to be thrown away.
The State Fish Commissioner made
i proposition to the Pennsylvania Rail oad
and it was accepted. Once, deternlned
to stock the streams near their
Ines with tjBh, the Pennsylvania offi:ials
got Into communication with the
National Government and obtained
nore flsh, thougli a smaller number
ban they had secured from the State.
Then tha distribution was given Into {
be charge of the division superintendents
In wboae territpry were streams
ultable for trout.
The. 150,000 flsh that the railroad
ompany received from tho State had
ust been hatched,'but these that came
rom the United States Government
iBtehery at WythasvIlTa, Va.u were
rrown to the site of "two Inches. They
-the State and National flsh?were
hipped In ten-gallon cans, between
iOO and 400 flsh to a cah. The streams'
elect-ad for stocking , wero In the
nountalns around Altoona.
The man who has a can of fish to
Llstrlbnte dees not .throw them In hopmzardly,
as" que. might suppose. It-,Is
t careful process. .The distributor
akes the can to a unlet pool'In the
ieftdvwaters of Bald Eagle" Greek, for
ixample. Then-he dips a Httle~"Vater
mt qf the can and substitutes for It
.ome' of the water from the stream.
This Is repeated over and over' again,
o that the temperature of the water
n the can Is changed very gradually.
Anally the vessel Jb lowered gently
nto the creek and turnfld upside down.
,Jt will take three years for the fish
o grow to maturity, and Uien those
hat haven't died'Swill j'be from 6 to
0 Inches long. Bw&re the three yenrq
s up, though, many morS flah" will
lave been distributed In "the same way

Speaker with "so constituting the eommlttees
of the House that the wrongs
of labor might.be con Untied nnd the
rights of the people denied," and he
adds that "Mr. Littlefleld. was one of
his capable lieutenants in carrying opt
that pofley."
Of Mr. Taft Mr. Compels says: "As
for the affinity of Secretary of War .
- _ _ t J- -7 ?
Taft with Mr. Lltueneio. ana bumvi- tons
for his re-election, I need but
refer to the fact' that when Mr. Taft
was judge .of the federal court he issued
/one of the earliest Injunctions
against' which labor so Justly complains.
Mr. Llttlefleld, as a member
of the JuJiclary" committee In Congress,
always used bis position to prevent
any remedy of the injunction evil
and abuse. Whatever other .merits
Secretary Taft's speeches may have
bad, his misrepresentation of labor's
position on the question of injunctions
could only have* been willful. It was
an attempt, as a member of the Cabinet,
to justify the further invasion of '
constitutional, rights, of which he was
guilty as a Judge."
