BRYAN's ACCEPTANCE.

Hon. William Jennings Bryan has
been officially notified Of his nomlna-
ton for the presidency, ana he has
accordingly issued his speech Of ac-
ceWance. Those who have looked
forward for a clear and comprehen-
sive presentation OF the vital ISSUES
Of this campaign mnst be led to the
conclusion that MIR Bryan utterly
failed in his effort to convince the
people that this country is suffering
for democratic rule. While he claims
that bis letter OF acceptance is only
q forerunner OF what Is to follow it
would indeed be hard to tell just
what issues he will discuss next. The
voters Of this country want lucid
and clear explanation OF the reasons
Why Mr.. Bryan should expect support,
and after carefully reading every
word Of his speech Of acceptance the
average voter cannot help but fail to
see any logical reason why he should
refuse to cast his vote for Mr. Taft
Each campaign witnesses the fact
inaf the people are largely thinking
for themselves so that they can de-
eide these important issues without
taking things for granted, and it is
useless on Mr.. Byran to try and de.
eeive the American voter by a false
statement OF facts. He would try to
make the people believe that the
present administration has failed to
live mp to its platform and thus is
not entitled to the support of the PEG
pie He would also try to impress
the people that the republican party
is not sincere in its declaration for
tariff reform He takes much credit
to himself for the position Mr.. Taft
has taken in regards to the pubica-
ton of campaign contributions. He
would also have the people think that
the only balm for the ills which now
confront US is his election to the
presidency. How many republican
voters viii agree with him? If ne is
entitled to the high Office to which
he is aspiring he must not endeavor
to fool the people by a misstatement
of facts, but on the contrary, he must
show good reasons why the repub1i-
can party must be defeated at the
polls this coming fall. Taking his
letter OF acceptance as whole it lis
hard to find any plausible reason for
his election. On the other hand, the
republican party has nothing to fear
from the effects Of Mr.. Bryans speech
The people viii decide at the polls
which party can best administer the
affairs of this government. This
means a republican victory.

MARTINsRuRe DISTRICT TICKET.
THE COUNTY TICKET.

The county republican ticket has
been selected, and it is in the hands
of the people for their decision as TO
whether or not it deserves the sup
port of the party which placed it in the
field. The delegates to the convention
did their duty the best they knew how
and il any criticism is offered il re-
fleets discredit upon those who NOM
ed the ticket. The people selected the
delegates because they believed they
would do their duty, and for this rea-
son the party should be perfectly
satisfied with the decision of the con-
vention. Where there are several
candidates who are seeking the same
position somebody must be left, and.
of course, the friends of the one who
rs defeated feel that no injustice has
been done, but if the other fellow
had won then some one else would
feel the same way. Therefore, the
ticket must be taken as the best one
that could be selected under existing
circumstances. 1t lis extremely doubt.
ful if there ever We're a ticket nomina
ted which pleased everybody; hence
this ticket compares favorably with
any ticket ever placed in tie field.
Mr. Lamon, the candidate for sheriff
has worked for the party for more
than thirty years, and his republican
ism has never been questioned. Mr..
Ohio Williams, the candidate for as.
SCISSOR, has been tried and found per-
fectly capable in every respect. Ev.
eTybody knows he will perform his
Duties faithfully. And no two better

Teachers for Philippines.

For the teachers of West Virginia
who have a desire to go TO the far off
Philippines and follow their chosen
profession, an opportunity will be
given them to do so at the United
States civil service examinations Au-
gust 26 and 81 at Charleston Parkers-
burg, Fairmont and Wheeling
The examinations are said to be
rather difficult but are somewhat SIM
liar to the regular examinations held
in this county for teachers. The scar
city of school teachers in the Philip
pines makes it urgent that these ex-
aminations be given attention, aud as
the demand TO- teachers to fill the va
cancies continues, it is thought that
more OF our educationally inclined
young people will undertake the work
required by the civil service commits
sion.
The entrance salary of the majority
of the male appointees will be $1,000
a year.
Women will not be admitted to the
examination unless they are the
wives, immediate relatives or frances
of men examined for teacher or as
sistant or appointed to or already en-
ployed in the Philippine service as
teacher.
The Philippine school year begins
in the early part of June and ends
with the month of March.
