House for Taft.

Secretary Taft is the preference
of nearly one-half of the entire Re-
publican membership of the House
of Representatives for the nomina-
ton for the Presidency by the nation
al convention, according to a poll by
the Washington Post.
OF the 221 Republicans in the
House, not counting the Speaker, the
views of 1876 were ascertained. Fif-
teen were interviewed, but were non
committal. Twenty could not be
seen becuse of illness or absence from
the city. Nearly all expressed their
individual preference, with the IN
derstanding that 1t should not be
made public, except in such a way
as would not reveal their identity.
Some, however, did not hesitate to
express their views for publication.
Judging from the poll of the mem
bers of the House, 1t is apparent that
Secretary Taft has gained an import
ant advantage in the Presidential
race. Many adherents, not only of
Mr.. Taft, but his opponents, said that
Frank H. Hitchcock, First Assistant
Postmaster General, had been in no
small measure responsible for this,
because of the belief that Secretary
Taft had secured his cooperation not
only in an effort to bring the South
into line, but also to secure delegates
in other sections of the country, But,
more than all, they are for Secretary
Taft for the following reasons:
HE is the strongest man outside
the President that we can nominate.
He has had an exceptional expert
ence in national life, and is well fit
ted, both by disposition and training,
for the Office of hief Magistrate.
"He is big, broad-guaged man,
man, who stands for efficiency and
progress, and would. If elected, carry
out the policies of President Roose-
welt, at the same time being his own
President.
This is no time to so backward.
We are for the man the President be-
lieves capable of carrying out his
work"

Elsewhere in today's West vir-

was made last night at Pittsburg by
Hon. Stuart F. Reed, of Clarksburg.
1t makes the red corpuscles chase

Reed is an eloquent speaker and he
has made special study of what

PIttsburg Papers and Monongah


While the early recovery Of the
victims of the Monongah mine hor-
iror was in progress, the Telegram,
in justice to the State of West vir-
ginia, its mine industries, its oper-
ators and operatives, felt it incum-
bent to rebuke some of the sensa-
tional newspapers of Pittsburg for
the ridiculous reports published by
them as to the cause of the horror.
Those papers seemed without desire
to get at the real facts and published
all manner of conjecture-much of
it SO ridiculous on its face that it
made the reader smile at the pre-
sumption taken and the ignorance
displayed.
But, these same newspapers were
not content to quit then, but are still
making imputations and insinuations
that all their readers in the state re-
sent. Nor, do they seem to realize
that even while they were busy con-
demning West Virginia disaster all
most as horrible occurred in their
own state not so very many miles
from Pittsburg. If they would de-
vote some oftheir mis-directed zeal
to their own explosion and ascertain
what they think should have been
done in this State, much better SER
vice by them to the mining interests
would result.
The Wheeling Intelligencer along
this line gives these papers timely
rebuke as follows:
In a rather sarcastic vein some Of
the Pittsbufg newspapers have been
writing about the report of the coro-
ner's,jury which Investigated the Mo-
nongah disaster, and, commenting
upon 1t in manner that can hardly
please the many readers of those pa
pers in the mining regions OF the
state. The men who composed the
jury were well known in their re-
spective sections, men who have been
Glossy connected with the mines all
their lives, some having worked un-
derneath the ground delving for the
black diamonds, and they were all
sufficiently acquainted with the bust
ness as to formulate a good idea of
the conditions which existed in the
Inflated mines at the time OF the
explosion.
There was absolutely nothing 10
show that either the company or the
miners were to blame for the terrible
accident which cost so many lives.
and while 1t was not within their
province to lay the blame anywhere,
because of the lack of evidence
against anyone, they gave a report
that was comprehensive and instruc-
tive. recommendations were made,
which, If carried out, would be of in
estimable value in protecting the
lives of the miners and the prom
erty of the mine owners, and VET
the Smoky City newspapers sheer al
the report. decrying it and pretend.
ing that NO inquest would have been
as well as the one that was held
Perhaps the Darr mine jury will dc

STATEHOOD GOES ON
THE WAITING LIST.
From Santa Fe Eagle.

From Santa Fe Eagle.
The position of the Republicans in
congress on the statehood question
has at last been made plain. They
are practically united in their oppo-
sition for this territory at this time,
and there is 40 more reason for sup
posing tina they will be for statehood
next year than there was for suppos-
ing asst year that they would be for
statehood this year. All of the pro-
testations which have been made by
Republicans during the past -four
months that were in favor of state
hood appear to have been for the
benefit of the marines.
From the time President Roose-
welt declared himself in favor of sin
gle statehood last October down to
within the past few days the people
of this territory have been led to be-
lieve that there was a good prospect
for b passage of the statehood bill
at this session Of congress. The posi-
tive statements of the delegate in
congress that he had the promises
OF a majority OF the members of con-
gress in support of the measure ap-

lance with the truth.

AoaNo "A0A NhS AuSh.
The great majority of the Repub-
lica1s in congress have not now, and
they have not had, the slightest in
tention of passing a statehood bill for
New Mexico. The position of the Re
publicans in congress on this ques-
ton has not materially changed in
more than twenty years. Along in the
eighties the Republican members of
made a most scurrilous report con
corning this territory and its people,
and there had beer no material
change in their attitude toward this
territory at the time Senator Bever-
idge visited the territory a few years
ago and made his report which has
not yet been forgotten. These re-
ports, n by members of the house
Of representatives and the other by
senator's, show how the Republicans
in congress look on the people of
New Mexico. The truth is that the
Republicans in congress do not con-
slider the people of New Mexico capa-
Bile of governing themselves. They
consider the people of this territory
little short of barbarians. The fact
that a Republican congress passed
and a Republican president signed a
bill providing for joint statehood for
enough, if there were no other, that
the Republican majority in congress
does not consider New Mexico fit to
govern itself.
Now the hope is held out that the
statehood bill will be passed at the
next session of congress. This will
not o many of the citizens of this
territory. If this congress intends to
pass a statehood bill at all it may as
well be passed at this session as at
the mex session. The statement that
it is not desirable to admit another
state before the nex presidential
election is entirely too thin to de-
ceive Y 1t would be just as
easy to put a provision in the bill
fixing the date of admission the first
day of next January as it would be
to provide for the admission on the
first of July. The bill might be passed
next week providing for an election
of delegates to a constitutional con
vention at the next regular election.
and the state of New Mexico could
not possibly be a disturbing element
in the presidential election. If the
Republicans in this congress intend
to pass a statehood bill for New Mex
leo, they might as we'll pass it now
as to wait until next year.
