can find food for faith in embezzle-
ment figures compiled by New York
surety company. In 1893 embezzle-
ments cost banks $4,000. 900. In 1907
another panic year" the similar loss
es amounted to s3,0OO.0OO. The steal.
ings uncovered in the one year we're

In 1907 We're thus relatively but one

Hon Henry g Davis let's i be m

norshlp Of West Virginia. In this
simple announcement there IS food for
thought On the part CT those repabl.-
cans who seem 10 believe that any
candidate IN their state ticket IS Ger
tain Of election. A political party Sc
cures continued success only by de-
serving It. Il commands the conf
dence Of the people only By putting
forward as its representative men
who are worthy o. the peoples conf
dence.
with the thought that the democ-
racy OF West Virginia may be organ
lied and led by a man like Henry G.
Davis, is this a year for the republi-
cans to make foolhardy experiments?
The best brains and the best char
acter IN the republican party should

CARDINALS VISIT POPE
ON HIS NAME DAY

Rome, March 19-The Pope yester
day received the members of the Sa-
cred College, who greeted him on the
occasion Of his name day.
The Ponuff entertained the cardin-
ais with the recital of how a certain.
gold coin had been given him as a
jubilee gift by the diocese OF Acqu4
This con was discovered in 1898
while excavations were being made
for the foundation of new church
at Acqui Upon examination It was
found to be the only coin in existence
of the period of Innocent TX, a pope
who reigned for two months in 1891.
The diocese of Acqui was unable to
pay the architect who drew the plans
for the~new church, so it gave him
the coin with the understanding that
If 1t be sold for over $1,000, the
amount of his bill, the surplus should
be returned to the diocese. The ar
chitect offered the coin to King Vic
tor Emmanuel, but His Majesty would
not give more than $500. Later the
clergy of the diocese collected the ST.
200 bought the coin from the archi-
tect. and presented it to the Pope.
This coin was the only one lacking to
make complete the Vatican collection
Of coins issued under all the popes.

1t is beautiful thing 70 finish The
race Of life with such laurels won as
did Senator Whyte Of Maryland The
Grand Cd Man is no more, hut a
more honcred record, a nobler life
and better citizen, scarcely ever
lived. The young men Of this country
should learn from his record that it
does not take dishonesty and deceit
TO win distinction in any vocation. To
have never used tobacco or to have
never tasted liquor, and to have filled
with distinction more than twice as
many public Offices as any one in the
state Of MARYLAND is a record worthy
to be emu ated.
