The requirements of a Chief
Executive OF West Virginia are many
and relentlessly exacttng. but the
Drawn and brain Of one OF, her al
ready noted sons point In no uncer-
tain way to Hon. william E. Glass
cock, OF Monongalia county, as the
right and proper man.
In Mr.. Glasscock's heart and life,
from boyhood and in manhood. until
the present suspicious hour, he has
been nurtured in the severe school of
patriotism, while his entire life has
been flIumined by the white light of
truth and unbending integrity.
Nowhere in all the nlustrious lives
and deeds of West Virginia's long
list of noble sons In war, history or
letters. there appears no more un-
selfish life, cleaner of heart and pur-
pose, than Hon. william E. Glass
cock, Republican candidate for gov
ernor OF West Virginia. He will be
elected because the people want him
and will vote for him The people
want real and rugged honesty in
politics. They want a-student. They
want a man fully equipped to sue
cessfully grapple and righteously set
tie any and all questions as they
arise. And in this supreme hour.
they see and realize that all these
prerequisites and ESSENTIALS are en-
bodied in Mr.. Glasscock. And these
are the unanswerable and all-stfic-
lent reasons why Mr.. GlasscoclS not
only should be elected governor Of
this big Mountain State but
strong indications of his triumphant
election, November 3. 1908. by rec
ord breaking majority.

Why Hon. William & Glass.
cock Should Be Elect
ed Governor.

William E. Glasscock should be
elected governor because he Is a man
OF integrity, Character and capacity.
The supreme test OF an. fndividual's
fitness for public once, Is the ques-
ton, Is he honest ana capable? From
a personal acquaintance with aIr.
Glasscock extending over twenty
years, / believe him to be both hon
est and capable. Being personally
worthy. his position on public ques-
lions is the next confederation. Tax
reform Is still the most important
state issue before the people of West
Virginia and Mr.. G1asscock has been
a consistent advocate of the princi-
pies advanced in the original report
of the state Tax Commission, and I
hope and believe. that the influence Of
his administration VIII be directed
towards further effective incorpora-
ton of those principles into our state
laws. n G. OGDEN.

DISCUSSES
AMERICAS BIG GUNS
Firing Only ESQ
Times, Declares Gen
eral CrOZier.

THE big guns used in the American
army and navy. made of the hardest
steel it is possible TO make and costing
the Government thousands Of dollars
each, wear 50 much from erosion and
SO rapidly, that they can only be fired
go times before the riding Of the bore
is completely worn out" said Gen.
William Crozier chief of ordnance Of
the army, in an address before the Uni
versity Club last night on the develop
ment of the big gun.
In his discussion the general. when he
came to the subject Of Wire-wound guns.
made no positive statement as to wheth-
er he preferred the cast and forged steel
gun. at present in use by the army and
navy. OF the new wire-woun5 guns, He
did not espouse the cause Of either one,
but spoke impartialIy. giving the ad-
vantaEes and disadvantages Of each.

Several wire-wouud guns are now un-
der construction for the army. be said,
and they viii be mounted on the sea
coast defenses OF the Philippines These
guns have two solid cylinders, the inner
tube, a layer Of wound wire. then a
cylinder shruuk on, and the whole wire
wound on the outside. It is believed
that the two cylinders will give ample
longitudinal strength.
while big guns are as perfect as
they can be made in the present day"
he said, there are two faults that can
not be overlooked. The first is that
we do have guns explode, and this is
almost invariably due TO flaws in the
steel in the solid guns.
Erosion Costly.
THE second is the erosion from the
modern smokeless powders. By reducing
the velocity we can fire the big guns
80 times before the rihing Of the
bore is practically worn out. With
greater velocity. which the guns are
otherwise capable of standing, the life
Of the rihing would be much shorter"
General Crizier gave an interesting
technical discussion Of the development
Of the big gun. from the first cast iron

OF today. He gave the the0- IS Of con-

The usual series Of concerts in Wash

ira is awaited with interest each sea-
son and this year, as in former seasons,
a notable series Of I'VE reCitals viii be
given. The first concert under the d.
rection of Max Fielder. successor 10
DR. Carl Muck. will be given next Tues
day afternoon in the National Theater
at 4:30 o'clock.
Changes made in the orchestra last
season by DR.. Muck are beginning 10
show their good results, and the organ
iZatiOn is said to be better than ever
before.
Local music lovers are expected to eX-
tend 20 Mr. Fielder quite as cordial a
welcome as they gave DR.. Muck two
years ago. Mr. FEEDERS debut in Bos-
ton was exceptionally successful HIS
reception in Boston was cordial In the
extreme. II is said Mr.. Fielder Is a
musician fully equipped at all points,
and as a conductor, he has the author
lily required OF a MAJ in such posi-
ton. The management Of the Boston
Symphony is highly pleased in having
made such a happy selection.
HIS PROGRAM.
For his Introductory program in
Washington, Mr. Fielder has chosen
that which he used as his first program
in Boston It comprises the 'LeOnOre'
Overture No 3 by Beethoven; the
Symphony in C-AinOr No / by Brahms.
the Love Scene from Richard strauss
opera "Feuersnot;" and the "Tannhaus-
err overture.
In this program Mr.. Fielder pays trib~
ute to the three great composers OF the
nineteenth century and 20 the one who
seems to be the greatest composer of
the twentieth. Beethoven, Brahms and
Wagner represent the greatest heights
of absolute and operate music of the
last century, while Richard Strauss
however the future may hold him) is
today the most notable figure in music.
The unfamiliar work on the program
is the Strauss opera which is "A thrilling
orchestral piece that lasts about eight
minutes and tries the viTtuOsity Of the
orchestra 10 the utmost. The other
three are we'll known, and speaking OF
this program, Mr.. Fielder remarked.
apropos the "Tannhauser' overture
Yes, it is old and hackneyed; that 1
know But the more 1 pay it. the
greater is my admiration for IL and the
more I am convinced that it IS the
greatest Of all Wagners Overtures, bar
ring none, and with the exception Of the
'LeOnore" No. 8, the greatest of all
overtures."
