On the eve of another great
election it is good to reflect that
the American people have never yet
chosen for their leader q man of
evil life nor of empty head and it
is remarkable testimony to their
good sense and decent morals.

SENATOR N. b. SCOTT ruled and
controlled the big Republican con-
vention at Parkersburg, - presiding
officer, in graceful and effective
manner. IT'S true he became a
little ruffled when General Curtain
persisted in wanting to talk when
he was out of order, but on the
whole the chairman did nobly in con-
trolling such boisterous crowd--as
any gathering Of over one thousand
men is likely to be. Senator Scott
is the West Virginia member of the
national committee and will doubt
less succeed himself in that position.

The thoughtful observer will real
ize otherwise. He will see that

would far rather have the Senate
committed to atwo battleship policy

four ships this year.
