M
Dawson expresses himself much
pleased with the work, 1t is pretty
certain that His Exceilency will take
q most active part in promoting the
candidacy of his able and popular
secretary of state.
Governor Dawson, when he an
nounced that he favored Swisher's
elevation, because he was regular.
loyal Republican, who had helped to
bring about tax reform, and not
hamper and retard It. and seek to
embarrass the administration i as
scherr did, directed the fight OF the
,anti-swisher people toward him as
well as toward Swisher. They have
,assailed Governor Dawson with the
same VIOLENCE that they have assail-
ed Mr.. Swisher. K
The governor has accepted their
challenge. Dawson is a fighter; so Is
Swisher. When they get intosa fight
1t is worth watching. They. have
been n many and theyehave never lost
battle. Nor will they lose this one.
They are sure to win. All signs and
indications point that way.

Streets and Roads.

The good roads association of
Clarksburg, composed of members of
all political parties, religious faiths
and business and social classes, is to
revive the interest in the subject OF
good roads leading into the city, and,
as announced, will shortly hold a
mass convention, to which all the
people of the city and county will be
invited, for conference and action.
The association realizes that it is
important to all that the best pos
sible roads be- had leading into the
great center of the county. The
members further realize that the
streets of the city would be in more
perfect condition, II that were to pre-
vail.
Men for selfish motives may con-
denim the street superintendent and
the city governments for condition
of the streets that is not perfect, yet
reasonable men, thinking men, OBJ
servant men. such as belong to the
good roads association, appreciate
the fact that muddy roads leading in
to the city are to large degree re-
sponsible for muddy streets and give
the street department a great deal
of work, which would not be neces-
sary, If the suburban roads were in
good shape.
In Clarksburg 1t is also a fact that
the Typography is such that great
deal of mud washes down into the
streets and is not to be remedied I'M
til the entire city is paved, and, in
some places 1t would be perilous to
have the streets paved, especially, the
uphill streets of an unusually stiff
grade.
With more streets paved, which
will take place this year and the next
few years to come, unless the city,
by some unfortunate mishap, should
take step backward at an import
ant moment, such as some are trying
to persuade the people to do, there
will be less mud to remove from the
principal streets. and this with the
roads leading into the city properly
drained, macadamized and kept in
condition will result in as clean
streets as are to be found anywhere.
1t is hoped that the good roads as
ISOLATION may become effectively ac-
tive and that the people will say:
Proceed with the paving of our
streets"

Statesmen for Taft.

The commercial travellers of the
country usually have a good deal to
do with the moulding of public opln-
ion and they are certainly good au-
thority as TO the sentiment that pre-
walls as they are in position to ascer-
tain It as, perhaps. no other set of
men 4.
On the subject of the next presi-
dency of the United States, the
Cleveland Leader points out that the
body of men who travel all over the
country representing the varied
business interests are heartily in
sympathy with the Taft movement
that is sweeping the country in one
of the greatest tidal waves known in
national politics. The Leader says:
The men who sell merchandise on
the road are seldom sold themselves,
They are not easily deceived, and
they can't be bought corruptly. They
know a good thing when they see 1t,
in their own business or in the ma

- RepubIieanlI Har,nony.

1t is perhaps an unnecessary supur-
fluffy to say that the Republican par
ty stands for a square deal. BY it's
own record both within and without
in the conduct of its own affairs
and of those entrusted to it by the
people at Target has shown that
for 10! these many years.
That the same fair, equal ana i'm
partial methods within the party's
household will be followed this year
as in former years will again be
demonstrated in the city. county,
state and national campaigns and
again will be illustrated the party
harmony and loyalty that has car
ried the. organization to success in
former years. Every candidate for
nominations will be given all oppor-
tunity to present his claims before
the people. TO secure nominations
it is of course necessary to win over
majority just as 1t is to secure cleo
tion to an Office on election day. In
the first of these contests in this city
and county this year will again be
presented to our friends the Demo-
Gratis another example of party har-
mony which they so painfully lack.
The defeated candidates for the
Republican nominations-an there
are bound to be some because all
cannot hold the SAME ofIice-will not
fight among their party men. Their
political education has not been of
that sort. They will not become
angry and disgruntled. They will
not resort to despicable methods in
retaliation for imagined injuries.
But they VIII all put their shoulders
to the wheel and work with vim,
vigor and enthusiasm in efforts to
carry the party to triumphant success
at the polls
Such loyalty and good feeling are.
characteristic of the Republican par
ty and its principles and it will be
shown again this year as of yore not
withstanding the ventriloquos wines
and yapings of the Democrats and
their tools.

Republicans, and it is to that party
Clarence P. Stout gives his allegiance

Following the death of Charles r

Naturally the commercial travellers
are organizing Taft clubs. They are
doing 1t in Ohio and in other states.
They will have the country well COW

brate Taft's nomination and his cleo

also, the commercial travellers are
taking for their campaign motto,
Taft, Peace and Prosperity.

stand for fair play. for discretion. for

Taft.
This force means much in any
campaign. The commercial travellers
did wonders for Mckinley. They
helped nightly to save the country
from the ruin and the shame of debt
scaling by the debasement of the
money standard. In the critical
times of 1895 they carried the flag
of honesty and common sense and a
fair chance for business, all over the
country. They were missionaries of
civic righteousness and political san
ity.
So 1t will be in 1908, and William
Howard Taft's majority in the Chi
cago convention and at the polls will
be great accordingly.

Health Reform Growing.

Slowly but surely the movement
to further scientific research into the
causes and methods of preventing
Infectious, contagious, and other
malignant diseases and to give more
regard to our public institutions of
health and sanitation are growing.
Every now and then some action is
taken in behalf of these objects,
which, while perhaps not of sufficient
scope for the needs, is of much as
sistance and gives more impetus to
the cause.
One of these instances may be not
ed in the bill now pending before the
legislature OF our neighboring state
of Maryland providing. for an APP
preparation of 100000 for use in
helping to build a new medical library
and public health institution. Wheth-
err the bill passes or not, its intro
duction and consideration at least
will afford further opportunity for
the peoples representatives to study
the problems with which the object
OF the measure is intended to cope.
West Virginia in its present PROS
perity and progressiveness is not he
hind the procession in this general
movement as was shown by the at
tention given to measures of SINH
lar nature at the recent special ses-
sion and the last regular session of
its legislature.
There are many vital problems
confronting the people. at large them
selves concerning their health and
their methods of sanitation as we'll
rs the medical profession. Among
the many reforms instituted of late
for the purpose of solving such
problems may he mentioned the
organized crusade against the
spread of tuberculosis; the inyestiga-
ton Of and efforts to control the
social diseases with their terrible
consequences: the researches along
the line of preventing contagious dis
eases; the provisions for better sani-
tation; and there are many others.
Measures having such objects in
view ought not tot be thoughtlessly
overlooked not hastily disregarded
because their importance is becom-
ing more and more apparent every
day. The question of cost appears
to be the one big difficulty encounter
ed in these propositions but the peo-
pie are gradually awakening to the
fact that the cost in most of these
cases is an investment that brings
many and profitable returns as time
rolls onward.

Kentucky's Forests.

Kentucky is making good progress
in the movement for the preservation
of the forests of the state. In 1906
the legislature enacted tn law pro-
viding for the State Board of Agri-
culture, Forestry and immigration.
During. the following winter the
board asked and received the coop
GRAFTON of the United States Forest
Service in study of the forest con-
ditions of the state. The work was
begun last summer and the ingesti-
cations of considerable area Of
land in the eastern part of the state
completed At the third annual
meeting of the Kentucky Farmers
Institute at Frankfort, In February,
the subject of forestry was discussed
with an interest which promises for
Kentucky high place among the
other progressive states which are
looking to the careful use and con-
servation of forest resources.
The manner in which the forestry
problem has been approached indi-
Gates that the people of Kentucky
realize that the ultimate solution Of
the impending timber scarcity must,
for he farmer, depend largely on
how he handles his individual timber
resources. and that there is no bet
ter way than for him to consider the
woodlot as bank account, using the
interest which is constantly accru-
ing, but leaving the capital undimin-
ished. Much education work, how
ever, will be needed to secure this
desirable end.
A bill has been introduced in the
legislature providing for the appoint
ment of a state forester. The wis
dom OF this is evident since only by
the appointment of state forester
can the work begun in cooperation
with the forest service be maintain
ed and carried to successful con-
clusion. Until such time. however,
as the state of Kentucky is ready to
assume the management of its own
forest problems, the national service
is willing and anxious to cooperate
in every way possible for the fur
therance of forestry among private
owners in Kentucky. In the coop
eratiye investigations of forest re-
sources now in progress, the govern
ment has agreed to apportion a sum
equal to the $4,000 appropriated by
the state, making total of $4,000
available for the work. During the
past summer the study has exhaust
ed $4,000 of this amount, leaving
$1,7OO with which to continue in
vestigations this season.
Kentucky has always been rich in
forest resources, but like many other
states she has reached the place
where the timber is produced on a
continually decreasing scale and it
is necessary to protect and use care
fully the forests which remain. In
1899 Kentucky cut $4,000, 900
board feet of hardwood lumber. In
1906. the cut had fallen to els, OOO,-
900 board feet, decrease of over
16 per cent. in the past eight years
In the same period the cut of yellow
poplar has fallen off over 81 per
cent. This reduction, is in spite of
the fact that during the same time
prices of hardwood have advanced on
an average of 90 per cent, and the
demand has increased accordingly.
These figures mean that Kentucky,
which is one of the chief hardwood
producing states in the union, and is
still the first state in the production
of yellow poplar, has rapidly dimin-
ishing supply of timber.
