In every county of West Virginia
there Is = troubling Of the political
waters and candidates are being xroonn<
ed in both parties for the campaizn OF
next year. While ambitions are rising
IKE sap in the trees at early spring
and the chances Of success are being
weighed mot always with cool head
and steady hand) there Is one factor
that y too often disregarded in the
making Of such decisions, and that Is
involved in the answer to the question,
How has your party met its response
bilities7 Has it made such record rs
win enable its nominees to count upon
the enthusiastic support Of your party
comrads and win ct least some from
the ether side7
The political party entrusted : with
power and the public officers must have
made good in pledges and given an
honest, efficient and satisfactory ad-
ministration of public affairs If its
candidates of the future are to expect
election. There are men ir both par
ties and their numbers are growing,
who believe that party responsibility
should be bravely and truly met. Those
who worship mere party name with
out considering what it stands for in
actual practice are growing fewer. and
it is well for the country that it is So
The man who doesn't care what the
ofice-holders Of his party do, who feels
no responsibility for them has but q
limited influence at best and is unsafe as
counsellor and guide in party affairs.
And so, while Democrats and Repub-
licans are raising their lightningrods
and making up their tickets, let them
consider what their party has done,
and what they have done to help it
make clean score of genuine service.
The public servants who, wisely admon-
ished by wholesome public sentiment,
have done their duty well and fat hfully,
have treated public office as a public
trust and not as an opportunity for
graft and have coupled decency of char
acter with efficiency Of administration,
will have done more to pave the way
for future success of their party than
all the fine platitudes that can be utter
ed. On the other hand, if they abuse
the public confidence, subordina ting
their sworn public duty to their private
interests, if they make public office 8
refuge for immortality and graft ane
neglect and inefficiency, the party
candidates of the future cannot justly
expect to go before ruf1ed and dis
satisfied people and win victory b,
merely raising the old cry of Rally
round the flag, boys!''
The spirit of independence is spread

intelligent men. The time is well nigl
past when man can be elected merel,
because he wears a certain party labe

These are considerations whicl

There are ever 50 many kinds Of boys
RolIos and Tommys and FauntIeroys.
Boys that are crude and blunt and rough.
And boys that are made Of finer stun,
Boys who try, In their laundering way.
A kindly, chiva1rous thing to say.
And only succeed in stammering out
Some words whose meaning ID left in
doubt.
Boys who are awkward, boys who are
bold,
Boys who win never dol s they are told;
Boys who are bashful and painfully shy,
Who can, be at ease however they try.
Boys who are dull and boys who are
bright,
Boys who are always ready to fight.
Boys with ambition and boys without.
Boys who whistle and boys who shout;
Boys who wheedle and boys who tease,
Boys who wear holes In their trouser
And of them all, which is the best!
Away ahead of the rest?
