the rapidly-growin Importance of
West Virginia during the last twenty
years. Prior to this period practically
all of the coal produced in the state
was from the northern counties. The
construction OF the Norfolk and West

roads brought with them the develop

West Virginia has held first place

During the last three years West
Virginia has produced more than 30 per

Nineteenth century there were only two
states south of the Ohio River and

POLITICAL POINTS

ing Many adhere to the theory that
what Is known as .'standpatism' has
triumphed. 1t is because they misap-
the lamented Hanna, really means.
The men who framed the tarln plat
from, first at Washington and after
ward here, had these salient facts In
mind: ri.
extremes, one the Tariff League peo-
pie. who would have the door closed
against all change, the other a MKT
ure of Cummins's shelter to mono
poly" and other western advocates OF
an open promise of immediate revision.
The stand -patters who have lost were
the former; the radical reformers who
have not won, are the latter.
Btween these two extremes Presi-
dent Roosevelt and his advisers took
their stand that there should be a dec
laration which would open the door to
action without making a definite prom
Use which might prove embarrassing.
A plank to do just this much they
agreed upon. and it was adopted by
the convention yesterday. AS that
keen observer and clear thinker, Presi-
dent Butler of Columbia University.
said last night, I'VE have conserva-
tive declaration of progressive
policy"
So far as the actual text goes, the
plank printed in these columns Tues
day morning was the plank agreed
upon at the White House, word for
word. 1t is the plank which appears
in the platform, with minor changes
changes which do not alter its pur-
pose or significance.
And the writer is able to say, upon
authority. that if President Roosevelt
be reelected upon this platform, his
to Congress. will all be for an inter
probation which spells early revision
and that revision not upward-not
away from the McKinleyism of 1901,
but toward it.
In the foregoing we find the great
fact of the day. 1t means that we
have come to a new era under Roose-
welt 1t is not triumph for radical
ism, nor for free trade, nor for any
reckless disturbance of existing con-
ditions. The great body of Repubii-
can leaders and laymen are fully salts
fed with it, Those who are discon-
tented are the extremists of the two
widely separated factions-Cummins,
the reformer. who says, Wait four
years and we shall have our way" and
the amiable Moore of the Tariff League
who says, We'll. 1t is not as bad as 1t
might have been"
Every Republican of thought and
information knows changed conditions
have brought the necessity for tariff
readjustment near at hand and the
party in national convention assembled
has wisely opened the door and refer
red the practical question of Just when
and just how to the President and the
Congress.
This is not ALL The platform as 1t
came from the East contained no other
reciprocity than one so general and
vague that it was almost valueless.
Sad experience with the Senate in eff
forts to put life into reciprocity treaties
negotiated by Mckinley had made even
President Roosevelt a little timid
where this topic is concerned, and
Senator Lodge had his local reasons
for going slow in the direction of
trade expansion.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1904-06-25

But here at Chicago two forces were
at work to secure a stronger recipro-
city plank. one was the sentiment OF
the people from the States bordering
Canada that the hour has come for
fairer trade across the line we'll nigh
imaginary from the commercial and
social point of view. The other a
movement set on foot by Charles
Emory Smith and Herman H. Kohlsaat
to secure defnitive question from Nc
Kinley's Buffalo speech and platform.
They were met by the reactionary ele-
ments which had lost on the tariff
plank proper and which now made
their last sand against too plain a reci-
procity declaration, even going so far
as to have incorporated in the pro-
posed plank the old farce of 'recipro-
city in nom competitive products"
Highly significant is the fact that
when the subcommittee lined up on the
proposal to have an open-door plank
for reciprocity as we'll as for tariff re-
vision these States ranged themselves
on the side of trade expansion:
Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, Indi-
ana, Illinois, Minnesota
And these opposed:
Pennsylvania, Iowa, wyoming, Idaho,
California.
of these forces. New England and the
great States which border Canada and
have intimate commercial relations
with our neighbor on one side; Penn
sylvania. the champion of high protec-
ton; Iowa, just now more controlled
by personal politics than by principle
and the mountain States, on the other
The progressive column won
And thus this fortunate result is
reached:
The Republican party in convention
assembled authorizes but does not com
mand the President and the Congress
to revise the tariff and readtust
schedules to meet changed commercial
relations.
1t authorizes but does not command
that our foreign commerce be extend
ed and broadened by means of recip-
rocity agreements
The doors are wide open A halt is
called upon reaction. The backward
step OF a reciprocity confined to nom
competitive products is rejected

What is the Matter?

What is the matter with the pupils
of our high schooli Just recently
one of the best educators of the state
gave a lecture here on a not dry sub
ject, but the living one of books and
suitable reading for the young. The
proceeds from the lecture we're to be
used toward the purchase OF a new
organ for the school. just five OF
the high school pupils were present
and about twenty OF best educat
cd people and the proceeds we're
$500. What an encouragement to
the principal Of our schools, an un
usually energetic and progressive
man. We have good teachers, the
best the state affords; we always do
have good teachers. But do they
stayi Well, no, not many OF them
stay for a second year in the higher
grades. Some of the pupils of the
grammer and high school, and they
are not the minority either, scarcely
treat their teachers with comon, de
cent politeness and respect, except
as they are obliged to do SO. Where
is the old.time Difference that pupil
showed to instructor and showed
voluntarily, tooi The pendulum has
swung too far in the opposite direc
ton since the ~courtseying days OF
our grandmothers and il is about
time it began to swing back again.
The whole aim and end of educa-
tion ia TO make better non and
women OF our children. But are they
better, and are they better fitted for
LIES trialsf In trying to accom-
plish the above ends have we not
allowed too much freedom Of speech
on the part OF those with immature
mindsi Have not made learning to
easy and allowed our yeuug people
to become to important (n their own
syes) and left to many good lessons
to be learned by hard knocks after
the young aedgling has begun real
life, one Of these being the lesson of
true po~liteness and an innate defer
ence to older and wiser heads,
though these older a wiser heads
NAV not have so much "book lsrnin"
as the present rising generation.
We. the parents, are responsible
for the state Of affairs, not the teach
ers.
