Spending 100000.

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad is
new spending about 100000 in i'm :
provements between Sir Johns Run,
6 miles west of Hancock, and Great
Cacapon. The contractor, Charles f.
King, Of Fairmont, has large force at
work.
In this territory the Potomac at a
high stage overflows the tracks and
the new work is expected to prevent
this At different places along the
river, bank enormous fills are being
made Of sufficient width to permit
passing and side tracks.
The bridge department. is arching
Cacapon river at it's junction. with the
Potomac with a substantial two-arch
concrete bridge, which will carry over
the new track. The work will net be
completed until some time in the win
ter. The third track and sidings will
be made into another eastbound freight
track, and eventually the Baltimore
and Ohio will have continuous third

The size OF the Democratic victory
that will ne announced ON the morn.
ing ~ Nav. . next will be staggering
1t will include an overwhelming ina
jori'y in the House Of Representative
and gain Of many united States
senators. Ohio, the Presidents swn
State, will be lost to the Republicans.
New York, the State Of the ex-presi-
ident. will be sweepInsly Democratic
Msjcrities will be 80 large that people
will tire of computing them.
Not through Democratic virtues and
abilities but in spite of Democratic
biunders aud weaknesses are those
things to come about; not because
there are asore Democrats than Rcpub-
licans but because there ara more
American prog ressivcs than stand
patters; not MS rebukc to this man or
that man In particular but asa cor !.
domination Of many men; not asa re-
lection OF one policy but NJ repldia-
ton Of many policies; not ~ an evil
dence OF momentary indignation but
voicing the demand of great and FREQ
people for light, for truth, for justice,
for economy, for peace.
What are these bitter Republican
quarrels but attempts in advance TO
escape the Judgment which all know
is at hand? There Is a mad rash for
safety. Responsible men are posing
as irresponsibles, Old offenders mas
querade as innoeents. Sacrifices are Of

wrath may be appcased III ere IL talk
OF even third term in the White
House for the vociferous and lawless

| In spite Of all this there viii be no
mistake about that which is TO take
place in November. II is 10 be more a
Republican defeat thana Democratic

burg Sentinel: IA liviag, breathing
issue in this campaign is the Virgins
debt. Under the masters decision, il
is possible for a judgment OF $44 ,000,-
600 to be rendered against West Vir-
ginia. Estimating the population at

S3S on every man, woman and child

President Taft does not seem 10 be
able 10 rid himself Of the siandpatters.
lie no sooner makes an unsuccessful
effort to make seapegests Of Cannon,
Aidrieh aud Ballinger than he takes
up with Crane, the most inveterate
conservative, as his principal political
adviser. 1t is about time the Presi-
dent tumbled to the fact that all these
STEAMBOAT statesmen must stand by
the Administration, or their goose ID
cooked, There lie no doubt that ma
jority of the Republicans voters in the
Western states are with the Insur-
gents, and II there were q free and
fair vote in the Eastern states the Old
Guard would be bowled over. II Is
mainly the control Of the Republican
organization, with the ~ wef of count.
Ing The votes cast al the primaries,
that allows them to hold the whip
hand. To that must lie added the
enormous power Of the distribution OF
the Federal offices which President
Taft has allowed them to dictate.
From this view Of Republican politics
il Is impossible to give President Taft
credit for any leaning towards the In
surgepts, although he still keeps on
friendly terms with some of them to
escape the charge that he has split the
Republican party
Colonel Roosevelt had evidently
been waiting, with his usual political
shewdness, to see the result Of the. prl-
maries aud conventions In the debat-
able states when he was forced to
show bis hand as the result Of the

VIII President Taft still take coan-
sci with Crane, and the other reaction
aries, or will he veer towards Roose-
Welt to prevent factional fight in the
state of New York? which II thps lost
TO the Republican party might lead
to making Jonah Of Taft himself.
The Pres'den is thus confronted with
dilemma, and 10 grasp either horn
is dangerous.
The Democrats, of course, have
troubles of their own; but they are
subsiding and the party is, perhaps,
near unity on essentials than since the
first Cleveland Administration. I'm
der such conditions, those who believe
that Democratic policies are necessary
for the welfare of the pc ople Of all the
states will draw even closer together
as they see the chances OF success so
favorable. But over-confidence would
be folly with 81 CHI opponents as the
Republicans with their organization
and money, and their greed for pow er
which, al the last moment will lead
them TO stoop to conquer.

the present Executive suffers more
from the legacy bequeathsd to him
