Washington, Oct. TO- Refusal Of the
West Virginia aRepublican State Ex
ecutIve Commit to include sena-
torial Aandi presidential vote IN the
| plans for primary next spring, has
started the National Progressive Re.
publican League TO renewed activity
IN that state. Last winter Gov. Glass
cock called special session of the
W est, Virginia legislature for the con-
sideralion of general primary law,
the Progressive League took a promi-
nent part in framing Il bill aud in agi-
tation for It's adoption. But the bill
was defeated.
Now that the Republican Executive
Committee has made a partial conces-
sion by providing for direct primary
for nomination Of candidates for Coun-
ty, State and Congressional offices, the
progressive Headers demand that the
primary be extended 10 Senatorial and
Presidential candidates, and have
started a systematic campaign to
pledge every candidate for the legisla-
ture, If elected, to support primary
law including these features. Republic
cans throughout West Virginia will be
urged TO write TO members Of the state
committee demanding Senatorial
and Presidential primary next spring
and also to notify all candidates for
the legislature that they cannot expecl
progressive support unless they pledge
themselves TO aid in enacting there re-
form election laws.
Progressive leaders are confident that
full primary elections will be ordered
when 1t is shown that Republican yot-
ers demand voice in selection OF all
candidates.
Senator Jonathan Bourne, Jr., Pres
ident of The National Progressive Re-
publican League, has suggested that
West Virginia voters address The fol-
lowing inquiry 10 every legislative
candidate:
ST elected member of the West
Virginia Legislature: do you pledge
your honor not only to the people of
your legislative district but to the PEG
pie of the entire state to work and vote
for direct primary law including the
Oregon plan of electing United States
enators and the presidential prefer
ence. My vote goes only TO the candi-
didate replying in the affirmative.

The Secret Out.

Those who want to know why Gov
ernor Hughes was appointed to the
supreme bench can find 1t in the speech
made last week ty Mr.. Perkins, until
recently of J. Pierpont Morgan. Mr..
Perkins says that Governor Hughs
was the man put forward in 1908 to
represent the republican party's posi-
ton on the trust question and that
Governor Hughes, in his speech at
Youngstown, Ohio, construed the re-
publican promise to amend the anti
trust'law as follows: ain our progress
we must avoid false steps. Our must
be the rule of Reason, etc.
Mr.. Perkins says: "The only vestige
o keeping faith with the people on
anything involved in this campaign,
and as discussed in the campaign, is
found in the supreme courts recent
trust decisions, wherein the rule OF
reason is applied, and il connection
with this significant fact are the follow
ing sentiments of the Youngstown
speech of Governor Hughes, for the
past year member of the supre e
court:
But in our progress we must seek 10
avoid false steps. Ours must be tie
rule of reason, clear eyed, calm, patient
and steadfast; defeating the conspira
cies of Intrigue and escaping the pit
falls of folly. supreme must be the
sense of justice, with its recognition of
our mutual dependence. "
Here we have it. Governor Hughes
was put forward to represent the re-
publican party; he assured the trusts
that ''the rule of reason" for which
they had been waiting for more than
len years would be adopted. Congress
refused to keep the promise, so Cover
nor Hughes was put on the supreme
ber. ch and helped 10 amend the law in
accordance with the republican promise
at d now resident Taft, in whose in
terest the promise was made and who
appointed Governor Hughes, says that
the antitrust law as amended by the
court must not be disturned.
nHere is chain of circumstantial
evidence sufficient TO convict in q
criminal court, and yet some OF oui
democratic leaders are willing to allow
this gigantic conspiracy to be carried
out! Can they be trusted to represent
the democratic sentiment of the coun'
Try?

The last Confederate Soldier.
When the last bright ray Of sunshine
Beams around the hoary head,
OF our last Confederate veteran,
Ere has final hymn is read:

As he's softly borne away.

To our last, Confederate veteran,
Ere they.tell.his funeral kneli,
And well ponder DER the parting,
Andiwe'il wonder at the way,

everyone that wore the gray.
We.shall love to teach our children
onour heroes who are dead;

Marching to soldiers tread;

President Eliot On Commission Plan.

A few years ago Dr. Charles w
Elliot, former president OF Harvard,
made trip through the south and
west. "In discussing at home the ques-
ton of municipal government, said
he, 81 found it necessary to acquaint
myself with the new city charters
which have been issued by legislatures
in Texas, Iowa and Massachusetts, and
then | wanted to get more than a read
ing knowledge of those charters. So
| have been 10 Texas and have seen
the men administering the new gov
ernments there
"Tbere is longer experience ofcom-
mission government in Texas than
anywhere else. In Galveston the new
charter has been in operation eight
years, and | must say that The results
there are extraordinarily favorable.
The pecuniary results are remarkable.
"What the city of Galveston has ac-
complished in eight years under COM
mission of five men is little short of
marvellous.
snow, as to continuity in the men,
bership of the commission, the citizens
have kept every man steadily serving
on that commission, except that the
first mayor died and was replaced by
another respected citizen. That is the
only change in the com mission for
eight years. The people have been so
supremely content that there has never
beensany question ofchange.
Gross to Houston for moment
There they have not had quite such an
experience of continuity, because one
member elected at first has been re-
placed at a second election, and one
other member, though his continued
service was much desired by his col
leagues, was replaced by the popular
vote.
GAS to pecunlary results in Houston,
they, actually reduced the tax rate
without altering the valuation They
then built four large brick schoolhouses
out of the city's annual receipts; they
paved streets at a great rate in the out
skirts of the city in order that the ex-
tension of the city might be favorably
made, and this paving is being con-
tinued in every direction.
"rhe city sets the curbstones, paves
the streets and puts in the sewers and
asks nothing whatever of the abutters
except that each shall build a grano
lithic sidewalk in front of his premises
| asked members Of the commission
how it was possible to meet such
heavy expenses, and the reply was,
I'VE save SO much on the former ex-
pendltures of the city. | asked what
they meant by saving, and they said
that they thought they got as much
now for so cents of expenditure as the
city had formerly got for 81.
"The peeuniary results at Houston
are the most striking among the Tex
an cities outside of Galveston. But
there has been similar experience at
Dallas. The city Is growing rapidly,
and all the municipal work seems to
be done with economy. The people
are so well satisfied that when it came
time to have another election of the
commission no available citizen would
run against the commission, and all
five members are therefore 10 DE re-
elected"
