the microscopic examination of wood
after it breaks in testing apparat-
US. has Just been started by the Office
Of wood utilization in the United
States Forest Service.
The structure OF wood is complex
Every species has several different
kinds of cells, each OF which has Its
own size and form. There is also a
wide variation in the number and ar
rangement of the cells in different
species. These differences in struc-
ture have their bearing on the
strength of the wood.
For some time past the Forest Ser
vice has been carrying on large
number of tests on many kinds OF
wood In order to determine their
strength. stiffness, elasticity, and 9TH
er physical D'operties, so that they
may be used to the best possible ad-
vantage in construction. The ap-
plication of microscopic work to such
tests should give a better knowledge
OF the conditions on which the
strength of wood depends.
Laymen will not understand the
significance of the proposed micro
scopic investigations so quickly as
architects, builders and other wood
users, who in these days of growing
scarcity Of the more valuable woods
will find the knowledge invaluable.

No better evidence can be given
of the amicable closing of the fac
tional breach in the Republican party
OF West Virginia ana the uniting of
all Republicans in the support of
William E. Glasscock, of Morgan
town, for the Office OF governor than
by the words of those newspapers
that heretofore supported the Scherr
cause. They all express qualification
over the outcome Of the bifurcated
campaign and enthusiastically pledge
themselves to support the new nomi-
nee to an exultant victory at the polls
the third day of November.
The newspaper that took a lead
ing part in the support of the Scherr
rump movement, the Wheeling In
telligencer, recognizes in Mr.. Glass
cock man in whose candidacy all
Republicans of the state can happily
unite in party harmony and entire
friendliness and that paper urges all
those who have hitherto supported
the Scherr cause to forget the party
animosity that prevailed in the early
part of the campaign and lend their
hearty support to the reunited Re.
publican party.
1T Is now their duty" solemnly
declares the Intelligencer. Ito use
their best efforts to unite all Repub-
licans under one banner to the end
that West Virginia may give William
H. Taft an Overwhelming victory"

NO excuse for misund ersanding the
ppsitions OF either President Roose.
Welt or Mr. Bryan. They have both
been very free IN expressing their
views on an public questions and
their expressions are public property.
On the tariff the President has ex-
pressed himself unquallhedly as a
Proteetionist, and saId that the tarift
should mot be revised until revision
would do more good than harm to
the great interests of this; country.
1t should then be revised in harmony
with the protective principle.
Mr.. Bryan issone on the most rad
ieal opponents OF protection. He de-
clares that protection Is robbery and
that the tariff should be for revenue
only Therefis no more harmony be-
tween Roosevelt and Bryan on the
tarifti than theresi Is between Speaker
Cannon and John Sharpe Williams,
or than there was between VIM. Nc
Kinley and VIM, d. Wilson, who was
an open advocate of free trade.
There is the same radical disagree
ment between President Roosevelt
and Mr. Bryan on the money ques-
ton. The President Is Just So
staunch an advocate of the gold
standard as was President Mckinley,
and Mr.. Bryan still believes that he
was right in 1896 when he made his
memorable campaign for free silver.
They are as wide apart on this ques-
ton as are the poles Of the earth.
These two recognized leaders of the
two great political parties have no
views in common on any of the old
issues nor have they anything in
common in their views on the Philip
pines. And on the latest issue of Mr..
organs tSey are just as far apart as
was Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson
Davis back in 1861.
President Roosevelt believes in
government control, OF railroads, just
as he believes in government regula-
ton OF the great corporations which
ignore the Sherman Antitrust law.
In fact, the President is in complete
harmony with the Republican record
on these questions as that record is
written in the Interstate Commerce
Act and the Sherman Antitrust Law.
He believes in enforcing the law and
he has the courage of his belief.
Mr.. Bryan does not believe in gov
eminent regulation-he believes in
and demands governmental owner
ship. He has elaborated his views ON
this question in score of speeches
in different parts of the country. He
has declared government regulation a
failure. We might as well try to
recognize the doctrine of the church
with the views of the infidel as to try
to get President Roosevelt and VIM.
]. Bryan on the same platform on
any political question. One is Re
publican and the other is combina-
ton of Democrat, Populist and Soc
ialist. One is statesman and the
other is an agitator.

Roosevelt and Bryan.

The effort OF the Democratic press
to couple the names of President
Roosevelt and VIM. j. Bryan is about
as successful as that of a few years
ago to couple Mr.. Bryan's name with
that of Abraham Lincoln by Senator
Ben Tillman. Mr.. Bryan encourages
this effort by complimenting Presi-
dent Roosevelt and asserting that the
President stands for the Democratic
platform and policies.s But there is

Able and deserving.


Commenting upon the wise selec-
ton Of William e. Glasscock as the
candidate for governor upon the Re-
publican ticket, the Grafton Republic
can joins in the universal approba-
ton and says:
Everywhere throughout the state
the nomination of the committee is
being well received, and especially Is
this so in the gentleman's own home
county, where the candidaIc. Is so
well known and so highly respected
that he cannot but carry the solid
support of every true Republican
with him. The Republican commit
tee labored long and earnestly to
make nomination that would eradi-
cate differences from the party and
that would smooth over the rough
places occasioned by the bitter fac
tional fight that has been waged
since the. meeting of the state con-
yention at Charleston, when a wing
of the party refused to enter the reg
ular convention, held a convention Of
their own and nominated candi-
date for governor"
In the person of Mr.. Glasscock
the Republican party has a candi-
date for the governorship upon whom
all true Republicans will be glad to
settle, candidate whom all can
cheerfully support, a candidate who
is at-once clean, able and deserving of
high Office. Mr.. Glasscock has been
tried and true Republican. He has
been a member of the state commit
tee, has served as state chairman and
has given always very freely of his
time, his effort and his means in sup
port of the party's principles. He is
well and favorably known through
out the state. and that he will at
once enter upon a vigorous cam
paign for election will be doubted by
none who know the man and his pro-
gressiveness. All honor and success
to our new candidate. May he go in
and win, may he unite the party, and
may he, as the next governor Of
West Virginia, rule wisely and well.
This is our hearty wish. This shall
be our aim in the conduct of this
newspaper throughout the campaign.
We could have supported any good
man as cheerfully as we now accord
our support to Mr.. Glasscock. It
has been our pleasure as we'll as our
duty to stand BY the regular Repub-
lican ticket, and this we will continue
to do as long as we remain in the
newspaper business

New Spoon Hook Cor FISHERS.

On the Pacific coast, particularly that
portion OF it lying around Catalina Is
land, where the tuna, black sea bass,
and yellowtail attain to huge size and
are noted for their gamey qualities, hum
dreds, possibly thousands OF spoons are
useA every season. OF these large
portion are lost in the tangle of kelp
which fringes the mainland and the is
ianu COASTS. Spoons of the size used
on the big fish OF from 40 to 400 pounds
weight cost about Sl.60, complete and
ready for attachment to the line. The
average angler who goes after the game
fish will find that his spoon account for
one season will be close to $40.
A cheaper and better spoon hook has
been invented 1t consists OF an ordin-
airy table, or tea spoon, depending Of
course on the size Of che fish for which
the lure Is intended. In the bowl Of the
spoon. down toward the tip, hook is
soldered securely, So that IL stands up
right from the bowl, the stem of the
spoon forming the shank Of the hook.
A piano wire leader is attached to the
hook BY means OF lsole drilled in the
handle, and the spoon is ready for use.
Drawn through water at a rapid rate
the bowl Of this homemade spoon gives
TO the whole lure a peculiar rotating
motion, unlike that Of any of the regular
spoons, and this seems To be visible
To the fish at greater distance than the
ordinary whirling flash 81 the average
spoon.
The cost Of this spoon in the largest
size Is less than 50 cents, as compared
To the SLIGO Of the ordinary type.--Tech-.

sketch Of Taft in the May American
Magazine il, first of all, good reading.
Ii is the great Kansas journalist and
story-teller at his best. Probably II
IS the FIRST real picture Of the Secre-
tarv Of War that has been printed.
The story of Taft, al Mr.. White
tells it, is the most interesting part Of
the article; but of course that Is too
Icing to repeat here. Mr.. Whites con-
clusions, however they are Of
great Importance be summed up
in the following paragraphs
what kind Of president, all things
considered, viii he make Assuming that
the facts herein before set down are
correct. il is obvious that first of all
we may expect president who viii

a day and tolls without resting from

expect that he viii work hard with
a kind. self-eifacing spirit; then that
he will work hard unselfshly and with
out much initiative For he has rarely
gone from beaten paths, though he has
ehown that he can 90 alone. The great
things he has done il this world have

eThe times demand not a man bear

who can finish the things begun. Such
q man Is Taft. newer Of wood. who
has no ambition to link his name with
rev measures. but who. with n steady
hand. and heart always kind and a
mind always generously just. can clean
eff the desk.
Roosevelt knows the desk i clut-
tered up. He knows that It may take
six or eight years merely to get down
10 the mahogany under things now
pending. But tho American people
know that come way tbs must be
