Other Features.

In the Historic Arts building at the
jamestown exposition West Virginia
has reproduced the Blennerhassett
mansion, famous In history as the
scene of the Matching of the Burr Blen-
nerhassett conspiracy In 1906. The
house was on Blennerhassett island, in
the Ohio river, Wood county, w. Va.
In 1912 the mansion was destroyed by
fire. Burr's daughter, Theodosia, spent
season there. She afterward married
Governor Aston of South Carolina.
When Burr returned to Boston from
his exile abroad she sailed from the
south in vessel that was never again
heard from.
The historic exhibit also holds copy
of the model of the first Steamboat,
that of James Rumsey of Berkeley, in
what, Is now Morgan county, w. Va.
The original model was perfected as
early as 1888.
A pike carried In John Browns raid
on Harpers Ferry is shown, as Is a
shaft of the boiling apparatus of Cum
minis Jackson's Touring mill at West
Fork, Monongahela river, where Stone
wall Jackson spent his boyhood days
and often operated the mill.
Professor Lewis calls attention to the
fact that West Virginia gave twelve
general officers to the clval war, six to
each side. These included three who
were killed in battle Thomas iona
than (StonewalD Jackson, famous Con-
federate general who was killed at
Charlottesville in 1863, was born In
General Albert Gallatin Jenkins of the
Confederacy. killed at Floyd Mountain
May 8, 1864, and General Jesse Lee
Reno of the Union army, killed at
South Mountain In September, 1862,
were both natives of West Virginia
soil.
West Virginia shows pictures of
these officers and of the other general
officers, the Federals being General
Thomas H. Harris, General Isaac II.
Duval, General J. NJ. J. Lightburn,
General Ben F. Kelly and General Da-
vid II. Strother. The other Confeder-
ate officers were Generals John Nc
Causland, the only survivor OF the
twelve: John Echols. John NJ. Clark
son and William l.. Jackson.
West Virginia is well represented in
her school system, both as to her uni
versity and the public schools. includ
ing normal, high and primary schools.

To Reach the Exposition.

While the opening days of the James
town exposition witnessed considera-
BILE congestion OF traffic to and from
the exposition, this condition existed
but a short time and soon adjusted It
self TO meet every emergency. Two
double track trolley lines. one steam
trunk line and connections and half a
hundred steamer and launch lines are
adequate TO move thousands of visitors
every few minutes. Boats make thir'
ty-two regular daily trips between
Newport News and the exposition and
even more than that number of trips
between Norfolk and the exposition
Old Point Comfort. Hampton, Phoebus
Portsmouth, Ocean View and all other
nearby points are Immediately con

1t now looks as though it might be
possible that Mr. Roosevelt will be
the next republican nominee for pres
ident. Unless some one can be Sc
'ected who will carry out unbroken the
policies which Mr.. Roosevelt has pro
mulgated he certainly would be justi-
fed in taking the nomination even il
he did say the next day after he was
elected that in no case would he ac-
cept the nomination the second time.
1t is extremely doubtful if we ever
had a president who so completely
won the hearts of his countrymen as
President Roosevelt. The public
readily sees that he started reforms
which win better this country if they
are perfectly carried out And unless
a nominee is selected of his choice it
would be long step backwards in
the progress we are now making if
the president would still refuse to be
the nominee. Regardless of party,
the people demand that his successor
will be in sympathy with his policies,
or he will succeed himself The en-.
tire country would much prefer to see
him be his own successor.

Some little complaint is heard about
the bad condition of the roads in sey
eral of the rural districts. Doubtless
there is some ground for such com
plant. The newly appointed road SUI
perintendents should be looking after
their respective roads and see that
they get the attention which they sc
badly need. There is nothing which
appeals so much the stranger pass
ing through the country as to see
good roads. 1t helps build up any
community. but if a person is com
PEELED to keep lodging mud holes all
the time he will soon become yexed
az IS not much wonder at him
doing so. Ii is hoped that the roads
will be worked at once where they
are needed.

The county court has made the va
rious appointments in the different
districts such as overseers of the
poor. etc. That some applicants for
these different positions were disap
pointed there can be no question. In
severai instances two or three men
applied for the same position, and, OF
course, some one must be left. Taking
everything into consideration the
court did the very best it could do in
selecting these officials. There can be
no room for anyone to feel sighted
because each individual had his par.
ticular reasons why he should be ap,
pointed to the place he sought. This
being true, the court was compelled
to select the one which ii thought
was entitled TO the place. 1t may have
erred. but it is too late now to rectify
any mistakes The positions win
stand as made. We can see no good
reason why everyone should not be
pleased with the appointments. All
are good men, and that they will car
ry out their duties to the very best OF
their ability there is not a shadow
of doubt. They are entitled 10 the
support Of every republican while try
ing to carry out their duties. See

Ii makes but little difference how
much people may write, or how much
they may talk, about the small boy
using tirecrackers on the Fourth OF
July, he will have them just the
same. There is no question about the
great number of accidents which al
ways occur from using such danger.
GUS explosives, vet the boys are in,
creasing this form of amusement on
the national holiday. While it is easy
for grown persons to criticise this
way of celebrating the day, yet the
chances are that these very same per
sons INDUCED very freely in this same
sport during their boyhood days. This
way of celebrating the Fourth has
been in vogue for many years. 1t was
Declaration of Independence, and it is
undoubtedly splendid way of instill
ing an increased amount of patriotism
in the boys for their country. No day
seems to be so well observed as this
holiday, and just as long as fire
crackers are shot all over the country
in celebrating the birth of our nation
just so long will patriotism endure
Therefore let the boys enjoy the day
as they will, hoping that no accident
will be fall them.

II Is doubtless gratifying to the peo-
pie Of the Little Mountain State 10
know that their state enjoys the dis
tinction Of having more exhibits ana
of being represented In more piasss

all the state structures. 1t Is colonial
in style and occupies a place of prom
inence on the boulevard, overlooking
Hampton Roads. This palatial man
sion has been opened under very auspi-
cious circumstances and is crowded
daily with interested visitors. Among
the number who enter the portals are
many people of the Little Mountain
state who express profound admira-
I ton for the handsome structure and
| qualification at the creditable showing
| made by the commonwealth. Al
though possession of the building has
been had for only few days, the work
of putting the place in order has pro-
ceeded very satisfactorily, and West

MULY 2 is West Virginia day at the
jamestown exposition, and the
selection of this date gives great
satisfaction to the people of the
state. June 20 is the natal day OF the
state, but at that time West Virginia
university and other institutions of
learning over the state were In the
midst OF their annual commencement
exercises, and the wheat, oats and hay
harvests were In full blast, so that 1t
was decided to fix upon a date that
would accommodate as many people as
possible For these reasons July
was selected, and 1t Is predicted that
there will be more West Virginians at
the exposition on that day than at any
other during the season.
An elaborate programme has been ar
ranged to appropriately celebrate West
Virginia day, and the prosperous daugh-
ter of the mother Of states will be very
much in evidence on that occasion.
Addresses will be delivered by the gov
ernors of West Virginia and Virginia,
the secretary Of the treasury, the presi-
dent of the jamestown exposition,
United States senators and other dis
tinguished officials.
Besides the regular exercises at the
exposition auditorium and West Vlr-
ginia building, there will be a dedca-
ton of the massive column built of
West Virginia coal, and In the evening
there will be a special reception at the
West Virginia building in honor of the
secretary of the treasury and Mrs.
Cortelyou. Governor Dawson of West
Virginia will be accompanied by his
staff In full uniform, and a regiment of
