Third Term Nonsense.

Lewiston, Idaho breaks into the
llmelight. Idaho has been in the pub.
lie gaze considerably for some time,
but attention has been centered on
Boise City. Apparently the residents
Of Lewiston have figured out that It
is time for them to do something to
show that their metropolis is on The
map. So they have gotten busy. They
have commercial club, and the sud
commercial club has started the cam
paign Of 1908 by the adoption Of a
lot of resolutions demanding the nomi.
nation of President Roosevelt for a
third term. They are moreover her
aiding the fact by sending numerous
monographs letters to all the news
papers of the country.
It is fortunate, the Iutelligencer be-
lleves that not all Or even a majority
Of the people of the country are SO
thoughtless, or so keen to get before
the public eye, as the citizens of the
Commercial club Of Lewiston. The
idea that any one man is essential to
tho welfare and the prosperity Of
100000 people Is too absurd to be
seriously discussed. Theodore Roose'
welt has made a great and patriotic
President. He has initiated line Of
administrative action which in all es-
sential respects has the hearty en-
dOrsement of the Inte!ligencer; yet
we are firmly convinced that it will
be a day OF national calamity when
the wise and safe rule which George
Washington laid down is disregarded.
From the third term to the fourth,
would be easy; and the next step
would be the destruction Of our Re-
publican form of government.
The wisdom and good sense OF
Theodore Roosevelt will, we believe
be sufitent to save us from third
term danger at present. lie is not a
candidate and the InteIligencer be-
lleves will not accept a Presidential
nomination. If nominated, he would
perform the greatest possible service
to The American people by declining.

Judge JoanSs laesson.
We chronicle MIN eeling q
siis g he deaf 1t the yenerabl e FL;
United sta Distsict Judge John Iay
Jackson, which occurred UNEXPECTEDLY
at Atlantic City this morning. The
details are extremely meagre, merely
saying that he dits from heart dis.
ease. Judge Jackson was SO years
Of age few weeks ago, the efsnt
being noted in Sur columns at the
time. He was the oldest citizen born
in Wood county. The two next old
est are DR.. James n. Murdoch and
Mr.. Joseph B. Neal.
To those who knew him intimately
and we'll. Judge Jackson was entirely
a different person from what he ap'
peared to be to those who had only
a casual acquaintance with him Out
wardly brusque, and almost discourte.
Gus, he carried heart as large and
full of true benevolence as ever beat.
Inclined to tenderness and sympathy,
he protected himself against yielding
TO these sentiments by eyilencins
mannerisms he did not feel.
There is no other man living whose
identity with West Virginia affairs
can compare with his. He became
Judge of the Federal Court before the
State of West Virginia existed, and
held that position until his resignation
two years ago. He served longer as
a United States Judge than any other
man in the history Of the nation. His
decisions became textbooks, and no
opinion Of his on constitutional law
was eyer reversed by the Supreme
Court. During the Civil War and
Immediately following 1t, he decided
some Of the most intricate questions
growing out of that conflict and relat
Ing to personal and property rights
that were ever presented to a court
and the correctness of his opinions
we're never questioned. Judge Jack
son was great lawyer and a great
Judge. The news Of his death causes
no feeling other than sorrow and con
fession of a public loss.-ParkersOuFR

YIELDS TO MR. HUBBARD.

The Grafton Sentinel after quoting
a short editorial in the West Virgin,
ian concerning Hon. Geo. c. Sturgiss
comments on it as follows:
While Mr.. Sturgiss does not live
ION the banks ow the Ohio" he does
reside very near the mead of nayiga-
ton Of one of the Ohio's largest con-
tributors to her commerce. No man
in the State, or in congress for that
matter, would bring any more ability
to the position either as a member of
or as chairman of the rivers and har'
bors committee, tkan the Hon. Geo.
C. Sturglss. I;ut like the hr6a,lnind-
ed statesman than he Is, he prefers
to yield 10 Ills distinguished colleague
of Ohio county. WHO is a,s0 highly
fitted for a position on this very i'm.
portant committee. It seems that the
position has been pretty generally con
ceded to tho Ohio county statesman,
while the friends OF Mr.. Sturgiss yield
their preferences for that gentleman
and shall expect to see the Mohonga-
La county statesman given other CON-
mittee appointments commensurate
with his well known abilities and his
nigh class of craftsmanship.

finally decided to become 3 cand date
feet To the REPUBLICAN State conyea;
for Governor Of West Virginia, sub,
ton. Mi. scherr takes occasion to
call attention to the factions in the
party at the present time, saying that
II he Is made the nominee all fac
tional contests and chickering's shall
be ruled out and there shall no longer
be any "Teterites," "Dawsonites," an
surgents" or "machinites." These are
certainly lofty sentiments and no true
Republican can find any fault with
that part Of Auditor scherr's an
nouncement. 1t is surely unseemly
for Republicans to thirst for each
others gore and wish for the destruc.
ton and downfall Of the party by the
side that fails to win In convention.
II Auditor scherr could be able to do
what he speaks Of he would certainly
have accomplished a thing for which
many Republicans have long sought
in vain. The auditor is perhaps most
vague and indefinite on the tax laws.
He says he would not consent to take
step backward and would enforce
the laws on the statute books giving
all a square deal. That sounds very
well, but whether the auditor puts
quite enough heart into SO vital a
question as the tax reform movement
is a question for the Republicans Of
the State to decide. 1t has been said
that a thousand years scarce serve
to found a State, and the people realize
that the tax reform movement is only
in its IncpIency. 1t must be guarded
zealously and fought for vigorously OF
all that has been gained can be lost
ere we realize 1t. Had Governor Daw'
son "enfOrced the laws on the statute
books" in accordance with the views
of many of his advisers we should
have lost much that has been gained
Theer Is n great deal Of difference In
reinforcing the laws on the statute
! books" and on this difference may de
pend the success or failure of system
Of taxation. 1nasmuch as this point
has been considered the weak place
in Auditor Scherr's candidacy, II
would probably have created more
| enthusiasm among the rank and file
! of the earnest Republicans of the
State had he come out in more EN-
phatic terms on this important issue
While 1t is true that the dropping Of
the factlonal terms mentioned by Aud
itor scherr would seem step in the
right direction, 1t must be kept In
mind that tax reform cannot be side
tracked as an issue and the standard
bearer must be willing and able tt
uphold and defend It. In our opinion
nothing less than that will satisfy the
Republicans of West Virginia.

The people of Fairmont sympathizc
most deeply with Prof. Thos. G. Miller
in his hour of untold grief over the
loss Of his son, Dana Paul. Only two
years ago Prof. Miller lost his most
estimable wife and his mother passed
to the great beyond very recently.
And now the very deplomble death of
his youngest son adds lmmeasurably
to His sorrow. The profoundest of
human sympathy is not sufficient to
heal the broken hearted under such
circumstances; only a firm belief in
the All Wise God and a realization
that he doeth all things we'll can salts
fy in such time Of distress and grief,
The West Virginian extends its ten
derest sympathies to the bereaved
father, brothers and sister.

Of men loose here, but there is quite

there are good openings. The man
who comes here and establishes a

the taking. There are going to he
several small towns along the new
railroads and the man who is on the
ground floor in each Of these new
towns with a general store will make
a killing, for the country is settling
fast and such stores are needed. In
many localities prices are high and
money more plentiful than most new
countries. The Rainy river is GER
tainly beautiful. One has only to take
a trip on the Gtasca from Little Fork

beautiful scenery and trip up the
Rainy lake is one of the most pleas
ant and Interesting that one could
take. People who have Travelled ex,
