i Public virtue falls with private

West Virginia for Taft.

Following upon the endorsement
of the Secretary by the state com
mittee at its Parkersburg session the
correspondents representing daily
newspapers circulating in West yir-
ginia and neighboripg staes, sought
to sound the true sentiment of the
state in the matter of presidential
choice. Their dispatches indicated
that the expression of the committee
members was practically an express
sion from all West Virginia Repub-
licans. One prominent West Vtr-
gilman was sought out. He talked
Taft to them for thirty minutes.
why Will West Virginia support
Taft and II the people want Taft,
why do they want him?" was quer-
led. A resume of that thirty min
utes Taft talk provides a score of
reasons.
The successful administration of
Secretary Taft in the Philippines
stamps him as successful organizer.
He probbly more than any other.
member of the Roosevelt admins
tration is equipped to deal with the
problem of the Filipino. His fami-
liarity with the race, the result of
five years close association, makes
him invaluable to the government.
His advocacy of American education
for the people of all ranks, classes,
conditions and creeds has won him
praise from the people of the United
States and the title of Father" from
the natives of the islands.
When revolution and discomfort
with the home government threaten
ed the millions of American capital
invested in Cuba, it was Taft who
hurried to Havana and persuaded
the malcontents to accept a provis-
ional government at American hands.
Under that government the island is
peaceful and prosperous.
President Roosevelt offered to his
cabinet member, and urged him to
accept, a seat for life on the bench
of the Supreme Court of the United
States-the qualification of the high
est ambition of a lawyer. Secretary
Taft has made promise to the peo-
pie of the Philippines that he would
mot leave them until civil government
was established on firm basis. He
thrust aside his ambition and held
true to his promise.
When the need arose for the
speedy construction of the Panama
Canal the War Department with
Taft at its head shouldered the bur
den. He personally visited the
1sthmus and used the knife on ''red
tape" He exercised care in the
letting of contracts and the purchase
Of supplies. Under the-new regime
the great enterprise will be complet-
ed months ahead of the date sched-
uled under the old plan.
The developments in West vir-
ginia of fortnight have added i'm
petus to the Taft sentiment. One
more name has been added to the
long list OF acknowledged Taft
states. And the list grows larger
as the weeks pass.

Agnes remembered the time, be,
fore dear fathers death, when they
lived in a cunning cottage of thei1
own on a pretty avenue, but now
mother and she had only one room
at the top of gloomy house on q
forlorn back street. Still, as her feet
clattered up the dark, uncarpeted
stairs, her heart was full of happiness
because she had reached home at
last-for even one room Is home
when mother is there.

"I've so much to tell you!" And
cuddled In mothers lap, an arm about
her neck, hand pa,tsng her cheek,
Agnes sweetly prattled Of the Christ
Child of old, and how His birthday
was to be kept by giving presents to

long walks, and. in the evening, In

The case of Clara Konter, the eigh-

conscious recently, is growing more
peculiar. The father of the girl said
his daughter had grown fully two
inches taller in the past three days,
and every dress she has worn is too
small for her.
"The girl is now perfectly ration
AL" said DR.. c. P. Kerr, who exam
ined her. He advised the parents
that the girl should not be spoken to
on the subject, and even the county
detectives, who have been prying into
the case, were forbidden to question
her. = Pittsburg Telegram to the
