Morton a Good Selection.

Washington PCst.1
lit was the consummate skill and
great executive ability OF Paul Morton
that did SO much to put the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fee railway on its
present solid footing said Represen-
tative Philip P. Campbell, of Kansas.
when he first entered the service Of
The Santa Fe, following that roads or
ganization, it was in q deplorable fl
nancial condition, but soon the results
of Mortons masterful efforts were
seen and to-day it is one of the the
greatest ana most prosperous of the
big railway systems of America.
In asking Mr.. Morton to accept the
naval portfolio President Roosevelt
has shown his just and accurate judg-
tatingly for the new member Of the
Cabinet the same measure OF success
that he has achieved in his chosen 7vo-
cation. It is true he is not pOliti-
clan, but he has all the ability neces-
sary for the successful performance
of his duties, and he has been accus-
toned to handling affairs of just as
much magnitude as he will be called
on to deal with as head of a great gov
ernmental department. In the West,
where Mr.. Morton's name is a house
hold word, there will be unqualified
appreciation of his appointment. He
is liked and respected throughout
broad section of the United States for
his manliness, honesty and courage,
and I consider that the whole country
can be congratulated on his accept
aHce."

WHO SHALL 1T BE?

That is the most ulooted question.
The news from Wheeling, where the
great contest is about to take place, is
very unsatisfactory at this distance.
News received from a Dawson source
claims a victory for their leader, and
vice versa with the ,Teterites, while
still others insist that a dark horse
win be selected for the Republican
northumberland.
BE the nominee who he may, the
choice OF the convention viii be the
next governor OF West Virginia The
fight for preference for the head OF
the State ticket has been bitter one,
but on the eve OF selecting the non1i-
nee il can already be seen that the
leaders Of the fight on both sides are
showing a disposition TO get in the
band wagon with the winner.
The West Virsinian has made its
position clear on the gubeTnatorial
proposition. 1t has advocated the
nomination of new Inan--one who
has not been mixed up in the contest
that has been wageI for the last sew
eral months, but if the convention in
its wisdom thinks it best to select
either Mr.. Dawson or Mr.. Teter, we
can work for his election with as much
zeal and enthusiasm as we would
should the convention decide to nonl-
nate a dark horse. 1t is not likely
that a nomination will be reached be-
fore tomorrow.

one of the conspicuous figures this
morning on the second floor OF the no.

having suggested in a recent address

Captain Hobson must have made a

made any such suggestion and that
the subject was not touched upon in

Professor Theodore B. Comstock,

an incident of one of his geological
quests among the mountains of East
ern Tennessee, whence samples of ore
had been sent by prospectors. The
find was valuable if confirmed and
Comstock was secretly dispatched to
investigate. He rode into the locality
on horseback and found lodgings in
the cabin Of a very old native woman
He was regarded with suspicion by
the mountaineers, probably because
they thought him a revenue officer
looking for "moonshine' whiskey. But
after he had gone out every morning
hammer in hand, and been watched
breaking stone, which he examined
with a microscope, his 1andlady's Curl

ComStock announced his departure.

he said: 1T recalls Senator Hills eX-
