Policies Popular and Fixed.

There is no longer any doubt
about the sentiment of the rank and
file of fthe Republican party, and. in
fact, all the people. in respect to the
policies approved by them. That
sentiment will be the controlling in
fluence in the selection of candidates
Tor national offlce-the Presidency
and Vice Presidency and the Con-
gress.
Sentiment has been thoroughly
sounded by the leading newspapers,
both Republican and Democratic,
and is overwhelmingly of the
Rooseveltian persuasion. So pre-
dominant throughout the country,
north and South, east and west, Is
the sentiment for the policies of tina
President and progressiveness in
government that it is conceded IN
most of the congressional districts
that only men of that tendency
should offer themselves for nomina-
ton and election. Candidates of
both parties dare not openly declare
themselves opposed to these policies
and venture to ask the people to
elect them to office. 1t Is even I'M
safe for Democratic candidate to do
that. and, therefore, such candidates
will be found before the campaign
for nominations end praising the
President and declaring themselves
advocates and supporters of his poll
cies. They must do this to find
favor with the people.
This sentiment and faith In the
Rooseveltian policies guarantee the
nomination and election of men who
are in sympathy with those policies.
and, 1t cannot be conceived that
there would be a breach of trust af-
ter that. This also emphasizes the
fact that those policies are to be the
ruling ones for some years to come.
and. we'll they may since they are in
the interests of the people and have
no favorites.
Rooseveltian sentiment, is there
fore. so strong that 1t is a fact that
'sassre willaBe-no departure for some
years to come, from the principle
that every man has his right and Ii
shall be accorded to him This
means that the national government
and the Congress will be commit
ted to those policies and the people
may well feel assured that they viii
be protected in their just and equal
rights.

wan street a BACK Nnmher

Not many years ago the financial
conditions of the country were such
that panic on Wall street, or other
money centers of Importance in the
East, was felt throughout the coun-
try. The farmers and business men
and merchants and industries and
even banks were obligated to the
Wall street capitalists who held
mortgages and loans as result OF
Democratic hard times. The mort
gage and the farm in the central and
some of the western states became so
closely associated by reason of the
financial condition of the country as
to be almost inconceivably INSOFAR
able.
But all this has passed away.
thanks TO the prosperity that has
been ours since William Mckinley
was first elected President of the
United States and business con-
fidence was. restored throughout the
land. The mortgages and loans
have been paid OF and the farmers
and the business men and the mill
owners are free from the bondages
of debt they previously suffered
from. The eastern capitalists got
their money back and through the
channels of trade money has flowed
out to the peoples OF the west with
out the strings of usury attached.
The country and it's business and its
prosperity have. grown beyond. the
control of the eastern moneyed men.
Wall street may. go into the most
violent commissions but the people
can go on about their duties serenely
and happily enjoying the substantial
prosperity that is theirs.

Railroad Company to the stockhold-

ten. The receipts and earnings
were greater than ever last year,
indicating that business and indus
trial activity is stiH in healthy
and growing condition, not only in
West Virginia but throughout the
states which this big railroad
traverses. The policies which bring
about such gratifying conditions of
affairs should by all means be con-

that the railroad company is made

lions that prevent it from imposing

EAGLE MASK BALL
 WAS BIG SUCCESS
Many MaSkers Attended and a Great Time was Had-COstumes Were
 Both Amusing and Gorgeous.

The mask ball given last night by the local aerie of Eagles was largely attended and proved to be one of the most elaborate and suc- cessful affairs ever given by the lodge. The ball was given at their hall On West Second avenue and the music was furnished by Deals orchestra. The maskers represent- ed everything from President ''Ted- dy' down to township constable and many of the 1mpersonators were ludicrously funny in make up. There were many gorgeous cos tunes worn, too. Ben Robinson and "Sonny' Stewart, the newly elected police judge, had charge of the affair and it is due to their un- tlrlng efforts and the efforts of the other members of the various com- mittees that the affair was such complete success
