With such unprecedented prosperity
throughout the country In general and
in the state Of West Virginia in partic-
ular, is it not up to every serious mind
ed West Virginia voter to let well
enough alone? Can they afford to again
heed the doctrines of the Democratic
party by which they were lured TO the
shores of financial ruin in 1922 Do
they again want to kill the goose that
laid the golden egg of prosperity In
order to give the Democrats another
chance to try their disproven theories?
With a wholesome state administra-
ton, Just tax laws and a national adj
ministration that has given the country
an era of unprecedented prosperity and
wise laws. could one imagine a time
when 'Let we'll enough alone" was such
good advice?
| Senator Elkins has had no small
hand In the remarkable growth of West
Virginia in the past 90 years. He has
built miles and miles of railroad. 1t Is
true that he has made money. But the
enhanced values in farming lands and
timber and coal lands. and in town
property where his railroads have gone
have added to the wealth of almost
every man. woman and child in the new
sections he has opened up. 1t was Sem
ator Elkins who organized the Repub-
! lican party of West Virginia into vic
torious host that took from the DEM
ocratic party the control of the state.
II was he who brought the people Of
duty of 50 per thousand on lumber.
| 1t was he who saved the country some
ten million dollars by thwarting the
Cleveland Morgan bond deal 1t was
| he who gave the country the Elkins
law, prohibiting rebates, praised by
Theodore Roosevelt, Uncle Joe Cannon,
Secretary Taft and all leading states
men, and upheld by every court in
which it has been invoked. 1t was he
who secured the amendments which by
the testimony OF Democrats and Repub-
licans alike, constitute the most valu-
able and important features of the rail-
way rate law. The people of West Vir-
glnia will do well by returning Senator
Elkins to the senate. A vote for Re-
publican candidates for the legislature
and for Republican congressman will
let well enough alone and be the best
thing for the state and country. The
people Of West Virginia have reason to
be proud Of Senator Elkins as a citizen,
a business man and as great and In
fiuential senator.

caused hardly ripple of excitement.
Much of the governors time was oc-
cupied in receiving officials of the
various department and judges of the
courts. With the members of the SUI
preme court Governor Taft held a
prolonged conference concerning the
drafting of a proclamation of general
amnesty.
This decree Is Of the most impor-
lance in view of the fact that at many
points on the island, notably Glen
fuegos, many persons are in Jail await
ing the disposition of political charges.
The governor also appointed Major
Eugene f. Ladd and Alexander Con
zalez a committee to audit the ac-
counts of the treasury.
Jose j. Monteagudo and Carlos Her
nandez, members of the disarmament
commission, have left here to receive
arms from the rebels at Santa Clara,
Sagua la Grande, Esperanza, Cruces,
Cienfuegos and other points in the CEN
ter of the island. The laying down of
arms by the rebels in the vicinity OF
Havana will begin today, when the
men will be entrained for their homes.

a second army expedition being sent to
Cuba The good grace with which

President Roosevelt, acting on the
request of Secretary Taft, has ordered
troops to the number of 11,200 to sail
for Cuba.
When the presidents order was re-

Immediately telegraphed the various
commands to carry out the tentative

Havana this week.
With the troops which are to go for

forces will somewhat exceed 10000

will prove sufficient TO garrison the

eruI Amnesty Proclamation

HAVANA. oct. 2.-Governor Taft's
actions since American Intervention
In Cuba have gone far to win him a
warm place in the hearts Of the people
whose destinies have been placed in
his hands.
Presiding at the opening exercises Of
the University OF Havana, he declared
his mission here was solely for the
purpose Of uplifting the fallen republic
and restoring 1t TO the path Of pros
perlty, an announcement which was
received with demonstrations of de-
light by an audience representative Of
the highest society in Havana.
Following this it became known that
Governor Taft and Assistant Secretary
of State Bacon had cabled for their
wives to join them here, a step which
cannot but be most agreeable to the
Cuban people and which will strongly
cement the bonds of affection between
them and the American provisional adj
ministration
Still another act of Governor Taft's

poor families occupying the Temporal
rily disused barracks at Camp Column
bia were about to be summarily evict-
ed by order of the Cuban authorities
In preparation for the occupation OF
the quarters by the brigade of marines,
Governor Taft directed that these peo-
pie remain undisturbed in their homes
for a period of fifteen days. In the
meanwhile a portion of the marines
will remain under canvas.
The order of eviction had been issued
in the name of the provisional gov
ernor Upon hearing of the plight of
the present tenants of the barracks
Governor Taft went to Camp Columbia
in an automobile, explained that he
had not been aware of the conditions
and rescinded the order He left the
camp amid cheers and warm express
sions of gratitude from the people.
The news of this act of humanity
spread rapidly and received the highest
praise.
These evidences of American good

More Men, Better Pay.
The output of the factories of the
country are worth more than billion
dollars more than the output of the
factories in 1900 The capital invested
in these establishments is billion
dollars more than in 1900. There are
hundreds of thousands more wage
earners at work than in 1900, and they
draw over $600,000,000 more in wages
than they did in 1900. These figures
have been taken from the official cen
sus reports, and can be verified.
The South Feels 1t.
Even the hitherto slow-going South
is feeling the quickening influence OF
protection. The capital invested in
North Carolina factories increased
from SOS, 600. 900 in 1900 to Sal, 900, GOO
in 1905. The wages paid increased from
s14, 900 to $21, 900, 600
The capital invested in Missouri en-

s379, 100000 in the same period and the
wages paid increased from s46,000,000

In 1900 to 5000 900 in 1905 and the
wages paid from s1O,oO0.OOO to s14,-
100000.
The same sort of figures might be
adduced for every Southern state. They
also show up in the statistics for every
Northern state.

Never has any policy adopted by a
great political party had such ample
vindication as the protective tariff pol
icy of the Republican party.
When that policy was abandoned in
1893 by the Democrats, when in power,
and the Democratic party passed the
Wilson free trade bill, there followed
q depression in business from Maine to
Mexico and from New York to San
Francisco. Four years of hard times
that the Democratic tariff policy
brought on the country was enough for
the people, and their votes from that
day to this have been protest against
the resumption of free trade or tariff
for revenue only.
In 1897, under Mckinley, the policy
of protection was again adopted. Bust
