Taft Again Says Peace Must

FLEET WILL HAVE EFFECT.
WARLIkE SIGNIFICANCE BUT 1T
OPENS THE RENTALS EYES

Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. 15.-Secre-
tary Taft, of the war department Mt, was
the chief guest Of the banquet of the
Ohio society of Philadelphia held last
night.
When Secretary Taft arose to speak
he was greeted with "A song, in which
he was referred to as the only one. -
In reply to this he said;

He described Ohio as the typical
American state, referred to the place

country, and then talked on the rela-
tons Of this country with China and
Japan. The Japanese, he said, do not
desire war with us. nor do We want it
with them. The Que5 L1on of the open

only to England in its commercial re
lations with China, figtres failing to
show the true conditions because AM

PEELED to pass through Hongkong, a
port controlled by England.
The sending of the american fleet
to the Pacific, the speaker insisted,
had no war-like significance, but the
effect as viewed from the Oriental
standpoint was most wholesome. since
the Orientals reason through their
eyes, and the material evidence of the
government warships in the Pacific
settled the talk of war in the Philip
pines.

RAIL ROAD RATE
LAW NOT LIKED
Members of Congress Are Re-
Ceiving Communications
From Over Country.
TWO REASONS FOR DISLIKE

Washington, Jan. l. The prospect
is that the railroad rate law will re-
ceive good deal OF attention in the
debates of congress before this ses-
sion ends. Senators and representa-
tives have received many complaints
from shippers that, so far, the bene-
fits OF the law have gone TO the rail
roads rather than 70 the shippers. The
Two chief complaints Of shippers are
that they do not fare any better in the
matter of getting cars when they want
them than they did before the rate
law was enacted, and that the law has
brought no relief from what they re-
gard as burdensome freight rates. In
short, the law. according TO the many
complaints that are coming TO con
gcess from shippers, is a disappoint
ment- Some of these complaints are
so specific and so emphatic that con,
gress. it seems. can hardly refuse TO
examine them.

SUPREME COURT JUDGES.

While there has not been much said
about it, the convention which will
meet at Parkersburg April 80, will
have very important matter before
1t besides the selection of delegates
at large to the National Republican
convention. At that time candidates
for three Supreme Court judges will
be named and as we have but five,
the gravity OF the situation is appa-
rent. While there is supposed to b..
no politics in Supreme Court, 1t Is
well for the people to know both the
politics and the character of the men
selected for these places OF very high
trust. In Pennsylvania just the other
day four out of seven judges declared
the two cent fare law unconstitutional
and many important questions are fire.
quently decided by divided court.
1t Is very important, then. that men
who have sound views on State queS-
tons be placed on the Supreme bench.
While we would not for moment
question the sincerity of a Democratic
judge on the bench we would not feel
at all safe were a vital issue in tax
reform or kindred political subject to
come before court composed of n
majority of Democrats. Hence, from
our own viewpoint. great care should
be exercised in the selection OF men
for the Republican nomination for
judges of the Supreme Court. AS the
matter stands now, it seems almost
a foregone conclusion that Governor
Dawson will be sustained in the ap.
pointment of Judges Miller and Rob
inson and that these two men will be
nominated without opposition. Just
where the third man will come from
is matter of conjecture. Kanawha
and Mercer counties each have can
didate and others may be in the field
before convention time But no mat
ter where he comes from, we hope he
will be good man and we have con.
fdence to believe that no other kind
will be selected.

While everything is moving har

While everything is moving har-
moniously toward a united party in
the Republican convention, the trou-
bles of the Democrats are multiplying
as the date of their convention ap.
proaches. The opponents of William
]. Bryan are seriously considering the
ACCESSIBILITY of making formal appeal
TO the Peerless Leader to withdraw
from the race. as they say 1t is OBJ
vious that while he may control the
convention he cannot win at the polls
and that he ought to show sufficient
patriotism to eliminate himself, to
stand aside in favor Of candidate
who can win. 1t seems to be the hope
OF the anthGryan Democrats that they
can win with Governor Johnson. of
Minnesota, but the Bryanites are con-
WINGED that no Democrat could poll
as many votes as Mr. Bryan. The
prospects are all bright for serious
division in the party accompanied by
all the raRcor and anger which the
Democracy always injects into a po-
