OUR NEXT GOVERNOR, SURE.
Circuit Court in Session Here.

| Circuit Court is in session in this
city. Judge John B. Wilkinson pre-
siding. This honorable jurist always
has host Of friends to greet him
when he comes to Mingp county. In
SouthernWest Virginia, he is one of
the most interesting figures that has
to do with public affairs in our
state. He Is clean and straight
man in every activity With which he
has to do, and that is why he is a
favorite in public life as well as in
private intercourse. We have known
him for a long time, and have
watched his character under every
condition, and in those things that
go to make faithful public servant
he is most noteworthy citizen.
Coming from strong democratic
county like Logan, he would make
an ideal man to represent the
people OF West Virginia in the
gubernatorial chair. The masses are
now demanding clean men for public
place, and Judge Wilkinson coming
fresh from among the people, would
unite the Dmocratic party in the
state as it has never been before. Ii
the Judge would give his consent to
accept the honor, he would arouse
an enthusiasm in Southern West
Virginia that would wipe machine
politics out Of existence and make
ring and boss rule take a rear seat.
He is the man of the hour, he is
the leader we need to redeem the
lost prestige of the state in a more
honest government.

Personal CONSIDERATION
Courteous and Logical Reasoning in
Gentlemanly Debate.

With Mr.. Clark, Of Missouri on
one siae of the question, and Pres
ident Taft upon the other, the de-
bate upon the MAJOR question at
issue will be not only within the
bounds of parliamentary language,
but also in good taste, good humor,
and in the spirit of curtesy and per-
sonal consideration that should ex-
ist between all gentlemen discussing
pubic question.
1T is not hlppant or unfriendly
statement to say that he possessed
only surface information on tariff, as
Gov. Dlngley denominated it" >says
Mr.. Clark, touching President Taft S
veto of the wool bill, and "it will be
noted that while the Presidents con-
science would not permit him to sign
q bill revising one schedule, the rates
OF which he had declared to be too
high, and in need of reduction, with
out recommendation from his board
OF experts, he promptly signed the
outrageous Payne-Aldrich bill with
out the counsel, advice or tuition OF
any tariff board whatsoever.
We have had enough bullyragging
and billingsgate IN American poll
tics. Local. audiences ooften rel
ish personal abuse rather than argu-
ment for there is often little in local
politics in any state further than the
question of which political organiza-
ton gets the offices, and which of
the two tickets is the greater men,
ace to progress and public welfare.
But in national politics the questions
are, or ought to be vitality interest
ing to all men who are qualified to
vote, to young men who hope to
vote, and to women who think they
ought to be allowed to vote. Such
issues ought not to be obscured by
picturesque attack and befogged by
phrase making. A man of limited
ability IN debate can call another a |
liar or a thief and by sheer sound |
and fury, signifying nothing, cover a |
multitude of front pages and null |
