LEE POST COMMITS
SUICIDE AT HIS HOME
Young Man, Despondent and
Tired of Life, Shoots Himself
Dead With Revolver.

Lee Post, aged % years, som of
the late Wesley Post, committed sui
eide in the rear yard OF his home at
Sixth and Clark streets, Glen Elk,
Monday evening few minutes before
6 O'Clock, by shooting himself near
the heart with a revolver. What
prompted him to take his life is a
mystery to his family and friends.
The young man went to his home
about $3.50 o'clock and appeared to
be in rather detected state. of mind
His mother suggested that he go to
his room and take rest. He went
up stairs, stayed but short time,
procured a revolver, came down
stairs, went out into the rear yard
and shot himself before his mother
and sister, Ella, realized the import
of his actions. He fell to the ground
when the shot was fired. The moth
err and sister ran to his side and
seeing that he was shot but still
breathing, hurriedly summoned ply
sicians. Young Post breathed for
several minutes but when the doctors
arrived he was<dead.
Magistrate G. Harry Gordon was
summoned to the scene as acting cor
oner, but after making an investiga-
ton of the case and questioning Mrs.
Post and her daughter, he decided
that an. inquest would be unneces-
sary.
The body was taken to the Cliff
ford-Osborn mprgue and prepared
for burial after which it was taken
to the Post home. The funeral will
be held Wednesday at noon. The
body will be taken to West Milford
and buried in the l. o. o. +. ceme-
terry there after funeral services are
held at the home in Glen Elk.
Lee Posts father, who died a year
or so ago, was a prominent resident
of Harrison county and at one time
was candidate for the office OF
sheriff on the Democratic ticket. Sur
viving the young man are his mother,
one sister, Miss Ella; and the follow
ing brothers: Nathan Post, who
travels for the Locke Shoe Company,
of Wheeling, and was formerly en-
ployed at the Osburn shoe store on
Pike street; Carson Post, of Ellen
boro, who works for the Hicks &
Iloge Co., OF Wheeling; James Post,
a stosie maker of this city; and
Enoch and Frank Post, also of
Clarksburg.
Young Post was subject to fits of
dependency and several times he
had threatened to take his life, but
his friends and family did not take
him seriously. For some time he
had been out of regular employment,
but week or so ago he came home
from Parsons where he filled a cor-
sins position for three weeks while
the latter took a vacation. Some
time ago he held a position with the
B. & o. railroad here. Post was
member of Company X, of the West
Virginia National Guards.

ALL EYES ON THE PACIFIC.

Gradually and without demonstra.
ton. the American people have grasp
cd the deeper meaning of the cruise
of the battleship fleet now happily
nearing the completion of its first
stage. Considerations of possible war
with an Oriental power, of the eff
cheney of the ships themselves, and of
the effect OF tho demonstration upon
the world powers are only of transi-
tory interest. The big truth which
the fleet embodied in itself. In its
| stately procession from ocean to
ocean is that the theater OF history's
great events Is shifting to the Paci-
fic ocean. The struggles between the
nations-struggles in which brains
and not bullets will be the weapons.
us Admiral Evans said the other day
will center on tho Pacific. There
the destinles not only OF countries,
but of whole races are to be deter
mined
Westward the course of empire
takes its way" Now within the pres
ent generation. 1t has come to pass
that the worlds eyes are turned to
the Pacific. There lies China, the
greatest commercial prize in exist
cnce, and potentially the greatest po-
litical factor in the Orient. There
dwclls Japan, ambitious In her now
found power. There stands the island
continent, Australia, and possibly
most significant of all, there lies the
Americas coast line, greater than the
coast line of any other country
bordering on the Pacific. All this has
been. in n sense. discovered for the
milton by Admiral Evans feet. The
public has today u reader ear for n
discussion of Far Eastern question
than 1t had few months ago. The
mastery of the Pacific has suddenly
become II problem. The entire wran-
gle of inter- racial and international
questions which are bound up with
any consideration of the political. So
cial or economic phase of the Pacific
arc now discussed by thousands of
Americans who Il decade ago would
not have given straw for any ques.

aware that the great plays OF the
game OF nations are TO be made on
The long neglected Pacific. Americas
eyes are turned westward.
