state Rescued and Advanced.

The West Union Record says that
the Dawson administration OF four
years will cost the state three millions
Of dollars more than the four years
of MacCorkle. The state institutions,
says the Record, are in such a condi-
ton OF delapidation and decay that
the State must issue bonds and bor-
row money to repair them properly.
The Records statement that the
Dawson administration will cost mil
lions of dollars more than the Mac
Corkle brand is based upon futurity.
Time must elapse before the Record
can say that the present administra-
ton is going to cost so much more:
hut that paper will have long time
waiting to conjure statement of the
kind that will serve its political ends.

Maxwell died in the harness and in

Judge Maxwell was Republican,

been spent for public, humane and
educational institutions in West vir-
ginia than during the last eight years
Of Democratic rule. In the last eight
years OF Democratic domination, only
100000 was spent in this state for
public buildings and their repairs and
Improvements. During the last eight
years OF Republican administration,
more than $2.0O0,000, or nearly
three times as much has been spent
on public institutions. And II any
body wants to kn,E where the money
went. it can easily be pointed out, for
the money was expended judiciously
and carefully for the interests of the
people Of the state.
During Republican administration,
the Industrial Home for Girls was
built at Salem. So was the Home for
Incurables at Huntington. Likewise
were the three miners hospitals, the
University Preparatory School at
Keyser and the similar institution at
Montgomery, the two colored institu-
tons, the Capitol Annex at Charleston
for the convenience Of the Supreme
Court Of the State, the university
library building at Morgantown, be-
sides, wings, additions, repairs and
improvements to the other state in
situations that we're left in delapidat-
ed conditions by the Democrats when
they turned the state over to the Re-
publicans. All of these buildings and
Improvements were entirely new crea-
tions under Republican administra-
ton. They did not exist under Dem
ocratlc supremacy. The people were
not that well cared for then.
Another little instance that will
show what the Republicans have done
to build up the public institutions OF
the state is to be found in tho present
official valuation OF the school prop
erty now owned by the state as COM
pared with the valuation of school
property under Democratic admins
tration. Today there is more than
seven million dollars worth of public
school property in West Virginia.
while under the last Democratic adj
ministration the total valuation of
school properties was only $780,
900.
More money may have been spent
under Republican administration in
this state than under Democratic ad-
mInistration. but that shows simply
that the Republicans are progressive,
wide awake to the needs and condi-
tions of the people, and are taking
steps forward instead of backward.

Taft VIII Grow Stronger.

The works which has been done in
the interests of the people and for the
good of this country by William How
ard Taft are pretty well known. But
they are not well enough known.
Taft has been more of doer OF
things than a declarer of intentions,
says the Washington, Pa, Reporter.
He has been so busy during the last
few years on great things that the
people have not had a chance to know
his opinions of things which do not
amount to so much.
Bryan, on the other hnad, has had
chance to get before the people.
He has had no other business for
years. He has made 1t part of his
daily life to lecture on public plat
forms, to keep in touch with the peo-
pie as means of livelihood.
Consequently the people have
learned 70 know how Bryan feels on
almost every question of public or
semi-public interest. They are famil-
lar with his intentions and Bryan has
found it easy, through his gift of ora
tory and fine personality, to keep
many people interested in him and to
attract many personal followers.
AS the campaign grows the
strength of Taft will grow. Bryan
will grow weaker. The people will
see more and more the large things in
the life OF the man.
If his campaign managers are wise
they will acquaint the people with the
life of achievement, with the charac-
ter of the Republican nominee. These
things are concrete things. They
stand for something.
Not since the days of Lincoln has
there been man before the people
better equipped for the high, duties as
president Of the United States than
William H. Taft.
He is no demagogue. He is no
trimmer. His work and his later
speeches indicate his sincerity. He
has no desire to evade issues. He
has ideas and he tells the people what
they are.
He is fair enough to say that he
does not know everything and has no
panacea for every existing wrong.
And because he is fair and honest, be-
cause he is frank the people will trust
him and show that confidence by their
votes.
The Republican party and this
country is fortunate in having such a
man as Taft as a nominee for the
highest Office in the gift of the people.
Ii would neither be truthful nor
fair to say that Bryan does not repre-
sent anything and has no element of
strength. He does represent some
thing and has many elements of
strength which Taft does not have.
But as the campaign grows and the
people learn more about the man
Taft, Bryan will grow weaker and
Taft will grow stronger.

Der Of newspapers are pointing out
that Bryan pushed Kern into the
background in order to take the edge
on any unkind suggestions hat could
be made upon the Democratic Vice
presidential nominee.
We are reminded that Mr.. Kern
was twice repudiated by the people
Of Indiana in his ambition to be gov
ernor, that not long since he was pri-
vate counsel for one of the most no
torious gambling house proprietors in
the country and that he was the city
attorney Of indianapolis when that
city was a yeritable nest of gamblers
and grafters. It is no great wonder
that Bryan wanted to shift Mr.. Kern
into the background as far as pos
sible.
