and legitimate means. His oppor-
tunities were created by his own
patience, devotion and address.
Henry G. Davis is q typical
American. He has grown rich
and powerful outside of the at
mosphere of exchange-the mar
ket place, the pawn shop. He has
depressed none, despoiled none,
thriven on no misfortune or hap
less or folly or improyident, and
he will appeal to American youth
as an example and an inspiration.
The Democratic convention build
ed wiser than it knew when it put
this man upon its party ticket.

THE REPUBLICAN
STATE PLATFORM

and effective services of the Hon.
IN. B. Scott in the Senate of the
United States on behalf of the
State, it's citizens and the whole
nation. The distinguished place
he occupies in the counsels of the
National committee confirms our
estimate of his ability, his ener-
gy, his force and his integrity as
party leader and statesman. We
therefore cordially endorse him
for reelection to a seat in the
Senate of the United States.
| 6-We point with pride and
pleasure to the present Republi-
can state administration, and
heartily endorse and approve the
same. The things it has done
have been in the interest of the
State and of the people. We ap-
prove the course and official con-
duct, acts and doings of Governor
Albert B. White, who has not only
made a faithful, impartial and
able executive, but has given the
State a pure, clean and efficient
administration Of it's affairs, with.
out change or even hint from
any source of jobs or scandals of
any kind.
1T is gratifying to know that
every department Of the State
government has been administer
ed with the utmost fidelity, econ
omy and efficiency by this Repub-
tlican State administration.
st is with pleasure we COM
mend the work of the department
of Mine Inspection as conducted
by the chief mine inspector and
his assistants, in rendering eff
cient service to the State and the
Interests to which these duties re-
late.
9-We congratulate the people
Of West Virginia that under the
guidance Of the Republican party
lpublic interest has been aroused
in the important question Of tax
alton. and that beginning with
the enactment of the Dawson cor
lporatiOn law substantial progress
has been made toward a better
ment of the tax system OF the
State.
We recommend the passage by
the Legislature of the measures
relating to taxation which have
been prepared by commission of
leading citizens and placed in the
hands of the Governor. We re-
gard this as useful steps toward
the end sought by us of the abo-
|litiOn of direct State taxes on
property and the substitution
therefor of revenues derived from
other sources, taking care always
that no injustice shall be doce to
any pursuit, industry or inter.
est.
10-We are heartily in favor Of
the passage of laws establishing
a proper system Of primary elec-
tions to be held by each political
party, for the nomination of all
candidates for office to be filed by
lelection.

Amid a furious cracking of the bats the Travellers got the timber under MT. Richard Clark of Texas at the proper moment and walked away with one of the few Coal Barons scalps allowed out of Slagtowa in recent weeks.
 Little Rock 8, Birmingham 3.
 While the Travellers were tearing great strips from the anatomy of Clark the Coal Barons were plugging away at Watt in a lively fashion but the Baron hits were not so closely punched and the game went whizzing away after the be- ginning of the fourth inning.
 Birmingham started in with a whlrl and kicked up the dust with Cyrus in the second inning but Mike Films star old timer spent the rest of his time in keep ing hits as far apart as possible and to his ability in this particular Hes his vic- tory. After the sixth inning the result was never in doubt but fandom took it in good humor and spent the rest of the time in good humored knocking match with some of the players.
 Errors Numerous. biTOTS were numerous ana OIlen ana added a yellow spice to the bout which made the game for while seem uncer- tain and hold out forlorn hope for the retreating Slagtown forces. This was tke third game dropped by the Barons since their return to Mount Slag and remembering the long string of vic- tories cranks, fans and rooters took the matter in the proper spirit and reserved their roofing strength for the fight with Memphis this afternoon, tomorrow and Saturday.
 In the second inning Jimmy O'Brien le6 I off by waloping the ball into deep center for three bags. Joe Hennessey followed suit by taking a sharp crack at the first ball pitched and shot against right field fence for three bags while Jimmy walked in. Matty grounded out but Billy Smith | teolS the hitting spirit and damned the l ball against field fence for two bags SCOT ing Hennessey. The rest did nothing. In the fourth oBrien reached second on an error of McCann and scored after two men were out Billy Smiths hit over second. That ended the afternoon so far as Birmingham was concerned, but not so with Little Rock
 Little Rock Starts.
 In the fourth inning they tied the score or MeCann's two-bagger, Wright's walk to first and Watts long single to left. In the next inning two errors and Gran villes hit sent another man over and | by this time it began to look dubious. l The climax came in the seventh when. after base on balls. Anderson, zinram and Granville hit safe and Watt followed it up with long drive to deep left cen ter for three bags, putting three runners across the rubber and cinching the game
 The real fun will start today, when Memphis comes to wind up the season with three games. On these games de- pends her chance for the pennant. and the Barons are determined that Memphis shall not float the flag at Red Elm park Ginger Clark, Reagan or Dunham will likely open up for the Barons, but 1t is not known who Lew Whistler win put up oppose him.
 The game as usual will be called at 3:30 o'clock, and all kinds of doings are expected out that way.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PRINCES

The entertainment of Prince Pu Lun will
be attended by some embarrassments.
owing to totally different customs and hab-
its. and these may furnish cause for amuse-
ment. but the fact should not be overlooked
that the princes visit TO this country. has
an important aspect. 1t is the first time
a member of the imperial family of China
has ever visited the United States, and the
size of the princes retinue. composed of
members of the Chinese nobility. indicates
the importance attached to the mission by
the Chinese government.
Ostensibly the mission was to represent
China at the opening of the St. Louis
worlds fair. but one of much less dis
tinguished personnel would have answered
that purpose equally well. So, too, a COM
mission composed of Chinese capitalists.
manufacturers and business men would
have answered equally the purpose of in
vestigating American manufactures and
business methods. The commission headed
by Prince Pu Lun was evidently organized
from different point of view.
The mission seems to be a distinct over
ture of friendship and good will from
China to the United States. 1t is only
about four years since all the powers had
armies in China TO suppress an insurrec-
ton which had really overthrown the gov
eminent. At that time it a mooted
question among some of the powers wheth-
er the time had not come for the PARTITION
of China. The United States was out
spoken and determined against any such
policy, and her initiative and strong in
fiuence were potential in preventing it's
adoption. American diplomacy and firm
ness at a critical juncture were mainly in
strumental in preserving the integrity of
China and securing the re-establishment
of the imperial government.
The sending of Prince Pu Lun. member
of the reigning house. at the head of a
large retnue of Chinese nobility, is I'M
doubtedly intended as a recognition on the
part of China of the great service rendered
her by the United States in a national
crisis. incidentally, it involves overtures
for closer trade relations. but from a
broader point of view it indicates pur-
pose to place the United States on the
footing of the most favored nation. This
spirit should be reciprocated by the United
States in its future legislation.
