THE Republicans may possibly stop
fighting each other in West Virginia
before the next election, but the sores
will not be healed. If the Democrats
shall name good, sound, conservative
Democrat they will be mighty apt to

IT is said that the big corporations
will not contribute to the campaign
fund for President Roosevelt's re-elec-

money! The president hasn't hurt

In small matters President Roose-
is very persistent. In spite Of the
fact that the Senate has for two years
plainly shown him that it doesn' want
to confirm the negro Crum as collec-
tor of the port of Charleston, he still
insists upon forcing the man upon the
people of that place. As soon as the
Senate adjourned last Thursday Mr..
Roosevelt made out another commits
sion for Crum, who still holds the Of
fee, though he has little or no author
ity and cannot draw any salary,
If the President had exercised half
the persistency in opposing the trusts
that he Las in supporting Crum he
might lave accomplished something
of real service to the people.

THE meeting of the Republican
State Committee in Washington last
Friday resulted in sort of patched
up peace that may serve temporarily,
but it won't stand much of a strain.
The Senators and the Representatives
from this State used every effort to
settle the troubles, but they had hard
work Of it. After long wrangle
Mr.. Dawson agreed to resign as chair
man of the State committee, retaining
his membership, and W. E. Glasscock,
of Morgantown, will be chairman. DR..

men, are to resign from the commit

than anyone else that the personnel of the

of course there is the average sprinkling of
what the ordinary American citizen would
call freaks but just the same l must say
that when diplomatitis takes hold of sus-

rather alarming.
Sometime ago a young man l know and

the police and when he did appear at

front of his vest When asked how that
was overlooked, Orr replied that the man

TACOMA LUMBER
MILLS ARE BUSY

Tacoma lumber mills are so busy these
days that the usual February shutdown
for repairs will be postponed for one
month. Both the st. Paul & Tacoma
lumber company's mills have about all
the vessels that can be docked, and arriv-
ais and departures are brisk.
The chances that Tacoma mills will get
the government contract for the consign-
ment cf lumber to the Philippines are ex-
cellent. They are meeting with strong
competition from Inman & Poulson of
Portland, but the Columbia river is a
drawback there. The big transports can
not take full cargo there and get over
the bar
The 2,l40,00O feet of lumber on which
bids were asked can be gotten out here
and loaded in a week if necessary.
Last year the steamship Herman took
from the Tacoma mill 100000 feet of
lumber for the Philippines. A vessel of
that size cannot cross the Columbia bar
when loaded.
AS the size of the vessels increases the
better are Tacoma's chances for new ma
rine business. When Hills big ships, with
their capacity of $4,000 tons, come here.
others will follow, and they must have
ports where they can load their full ca
pacity and get to sea without danger of
grounding on a sandbar.
