Two New Men.

The farmers of West Virginia
ought to be keenly interested in the
work of two men who are new to
the State-Dr. w. NJ. Munson, re-
Gently chosen Horticulturlst of the
experiment station, and Prof. d. w.
Working. elected to organize an ag-
ricultural Extension Department in
the College of Agriculture Of the
State University. Both of these
men will help to make the winter
course in Agriculture a success. DR..
Munson will devote two weeks to
horticultural and garden problems
and will deliver one popular lecture
on The Origin and Development of
Certain Garden Plants;" and Prof.
Working will devote two weeks to
soils and cultivation and win deliver
a lecture on "Agriclural Exten-
sion: It's problem and It's Pur-
pose" 1t is to be hoped that both
of these men will make good in
West Virginia. Fruit growing and
the extension of agricultural educa-
ton are certainly of prime import
ance In this State.

The "Unhinged" Mind.

If President Roosevelt's mind is

editorlalas that flavor of Wall street

and more to be desired as President
of the United States than even 9TH
ers prominently mentioned" whose
minds are said to be sucurely fast
ened to hinges.
In answering the Suns editorial
in which President Roosevelt is de-
sscribed as "conscienceless dema-
; gogue" and that his mind is unhing-
ed, the World, after recounting
the criticisms 1t has made of the
president and his policies, says, in
part:
- q but there never was a
President in the White House who
was a shrewder politician, whose
mind was less unhinged or more
capable of withstanding any ten
sion, strain or burden to which it
might be subjected. His physical
mental, nervous, temperamental
strength is little less than marvel
Gus. If Mr.. Roosevelt's mind is un-
hinged. Cromwell was a chattering
imbecile and Napoleon died from the
effects of paresis.
The Presidents unreasoning ad.
mirers and unreasoning opponents
refuse to see that there are actu.
ally two Roosevelts. One of them
is an amazingly resourceful, calcu.
lating politician, not over accurate
or over-scrupulous or oYer-truthful
seeing clearly what he wishes to &C,
complish and not over-nice in the
means he employees to reach his
ends. ~
The other Roosevelt shares Lin
coins mastering desire to serve the
people and leave a name that will
shine forever in American history
This is the Theodore Roosevelt who
has grappled with trusts and corpo.
rations. terrorized cowardly Wall
street. smashed the mean money
money power. and, y y has al,
most broken the shameful alliance
between Predatory Plutocracy and
the Government of the United
States.
This is the Roosevelt that ap

fIsa.oic Rescne WorIr

Through all the excitement and
distress attention upon the terrible
mine disaster at Monongah, one of
its most striking features has not
been publicly dwelt upon to the ex-
tent 1t deserves-the heroic rescue
work by both operator and miner.
No sooner did the explosion oc-
cur than company officials were ON
the way to the scene of the disaster
as speedily as steam and electricity
would carry them. No sooner did
the news reach mining villages than
miners laid diwn their picks and
started to the scene.
Arrived at the mines officials and
men quickly went to work to ex-
plore the Inflated mines in a de-
termined and CHASTITY search for the
living. II such there were.
With wonderful speed and amaz-
ingly dispatch a perfect organiza-
ton of work was built up, map
ped out in few hoursat most and
put into successful system and exc
cution before the darkness of the
first night came.
Under a systematic plan of CO
operation hig officials of the COM
pany and the humblest miners went
to work in earnest in the rescue
work. Though appalled, at the ter
rible task that confronted them they
did not allow terror and fear to be-
come master OF them, but with de-
termined resolve and brave effort
the resuce work was started by
them, and day and night they
worked increasingly in the very face
of danger and with the knowledge
that their own lives might be sacri-
feed.
Much needed sleep was baffied off
by them, they took barely enough
time to eat sandwich, a cup of
coffee or soup and drink of water,
and they worked on and on, with
but one end in view to get out the
living, and, when it was found that
none did survive. they turned their
efforts to the gruesome task of get
ting out the dead.
Miles of territory consisting of
dark and dangerous caverns, par
italy filled with debris, had been
searched by the rescuers up to that
time but in vain for the living,
and. with the knowledge that not
one OF the hundreds of miners in the
two minis had escaped alive the task
of recovering the bodies of the dead
was disheartening from the begin
ming. but drawer or nobler heart
never entered upon any trying task
than there. All in the rescue work
faint at heart though they worked
like Trojans. Mine superintendent
and men still higher up enlisted in
the rescue work the same as did
scores of miners volunteer and they
all worked together on a common
plane, entered the mine together.
picked up the dead together, ex-
posed themselves together to the
dust and gas, the rain and the mud.
with nevr a thought of distinction in
position. Indeed. they were all just
plain men seeking the bodies of
their fellows.
There never was, perhaps, a great
er exhibition of common brother
hood than the mine horror brought
about, and assuredly it has estab-
lished the fact that heroism exists
alike in the bosom of the high and
the Tow. 80.

points brought out by tn speaker.
He urged that the democrats of

weeks before the election, but fifty
two weeks in the year, predicting
that when such tactics are adopted
the party will return to her right

night.
There were many In atten'1nce, in

the backbone of the movement, asked
for and received permission to spend
so much of the money subscribed

Erie (Pa.) Interstate league team.
An effort will be made at Warren,
Pa, next Friday, to secure finan-
cial assistance from that city in
consideration of the transfer of the
Erie franchise thereto, which will
enable Erie to lessen the demand
that has been made upon Sandusky.
Manager Baumeister of Erie says
no less than $3.50 will satisfy. but
that there is more than possib'l-
ity that the whole amount will not
have to be paid by Sandusky. This
statement was made to the stock
holders by Mr.. Mischler, who was In

cupancy, would cost at least $3,500.
He believes that the paid attendance
each year will run to 10000 or TO-.

prove otherwise than paying. The

he was sure would be 800 at the
