Trolley FxpansIon.

Trolley connections of rival cities
stimulate business and do not operate
70 the prejudice Of merchants in
either city, in the opinion of the
Parkersburg Sentinel, which cites
Faifmont and clarksburg as a con-
spicuous example, and which discerns
great benefit to the state from an era
of trolley expansion. Says the SEN
tinel:
The annual report of the Falrmont
and clarksburg Traction Company
shows that-the policy Of expansion Of
it's aggressive management has
worked marvels In the upbuilding Of
the communities it serves. It's main
lines are now operating from Man
nington to Fairmont and Clarksburg
with branches taking in other import
ant points. and IT will be extended to
Weston. usually when it is pro-
posed to connect by trolley cities
which consider themselves rivals
much grumbling is heard about the
business It will pull away from one
or the other, but Invariably the actual
experience is that every point on
the line is benefited, not by pulling
from each other or at the expense of
any one point but by the actual cre-
alton of new business. So it has
been on the Fairmont and Clarksburg
system.
The Parkersburg, Marietta and In
ter-Urban is another system that is
pursuing an aggressive policy to the
general betterment of the entire ter
Tltory It trayetses, and it is deserv-
ing of the cooperation of every per-
son whom 1t serves. The Wheeling
and Huntington systems are also i'm
proving and ebranching out. In fact
We are In the midst of an era If
trolley expansion in West Virginia
and despite the typographical condl-
tons which have blade .he state lag
behind states like Ohio and Indiana
In respect of electric railway con
struction, W. are rapidly coming to
the front.

81 3 ititiatiEe' recall and reieren-
dunn doctrines Many 81 them afs
aIsc ezcislng themselves 81 these
doctrines although supporting the
colonel. In fact. ire Roosevelt men
scarcely refer to his candidacy with
ont offering apologies Of some sort
for his Columbus and Boston
speeches. The Wheeling Intelligent
Ger shows how these apologies crop
ped out at The recent Parkersburg
meeting, and makes some pertinent
comment thereon.
It Is noteworthy that at the meet
Ing Of the Roosevelt supporters at
Parkersburg not 4 single speaker
endorsed the new Charter Of Democ-
racy," promulgated ny Mn, Roosevelt
ii IDS Columbus address. A distin-
guished Republican from one Of the
northern Panhandle counties stated
that he could not agree with Nj.
Roosevelt as to the initiative, the
referendum and the recall, and es-
pecially the recall of judges, but he
did not consider these heresies Of
such great Importance as the fact
that President TAFT. has complimented
a Democratic supreme court justice
by nominating him to the vacant POI
sition of chief justice. Another dis
tinguished ex-oftice holder made a We
hement Address attacking the col.
onel's heresies, but basing his sup
port of Mr.. Roosevelt on the theory
of hts personal popularity. Still an
other ex-oficlal who has adorned the
pay rolls of the federal and state gov
eminent for seventeen or eighteen
years, proclaimed that the Columbus
address Of Col. Roosevelt was meant
only for local consumption. and
should not be considered seriously as
national issue,
What a pitlful spectacle these
apologies for Mr.. Roosevelt present!
Gathered together for the ostenslble
purpose of advocating presidential
candidacy, they evade the latest pub
lie utterances of their candidate, and
Justify their position by fimsy pre-
texts, Of which they themselves must
be ashamed,

HypocriticaI Cry.

Hypocritical hues and cries have
gone up the last many years from
Democratic politicians and press
about machine control among the
Republicans Of West Virginia, and
they have repeatedly declared their
disapproval Of methods of that kind,
assuring the public that nothing Of
the sort is countenanced in the Demo-
cratic party. They may have sue
c"eded in making the people believe
them but the latter are learning now
just what Democratic politicians will
do when they have hope of party
ascendency. The recent meeting OF
the Democratic state committee at
Parkersburg furnishes a good ex-
ample of machine rule in the Demo-.
cratic party and proves conclusive
ly the hypocrisy of Democratic poll
ticans and newspaper in their cry
for purity in politics. The West Union
Record exposes that hypocrisy as fol-
lows:
In obedience to the call issued by
Chairman Bennett, watson's state
committee met in the assembly room
Of the Chancellor hotel at Parkers-
burg March / and carried out the
program arranged by the coal baron.
Never before in the history of poll
teal parties in this state was com
mlttee completely controlled by
one man. onlSSene discordant voice
was heard in the committee-that Of
Joseph Murphy, of Parkersburg. So
thoroughly was the situation IN con-
troll of the machine that there was no
opposition whatever to the machines
selection Of Huntington as the con-
vention city-a place where the CON
vention can be easily turned over to
gang of claquers, thugs, and bar
toughs gathered from the southern
part of the state. The decent men OF
the party will be allowed no voice
whatever in the Huntington conven-
ton. The Charleston and Fayette
libertines, Divorces, wife-beaters
and gamblers will be masters of It's
deliberations from the first tap of the
chairman's gavel to the final adjourn
ment.

thinning Tor Themselves more than
they ever I'D They read seven. b
perhaps. fourteen new papers q week
In place Of the single country weekly
they did two OF three decades ago.
They also read and study many Of
the Leading magazines, as their
largely Increased circulation figures
demonstrate; and scientific works on
farming, government, economics and
the like. The sons and daughters,
returning home from colleges where
they have taken advantage Of seIen-
tile courses In agriculture. and in
other sciences and arts. have helped
to Undue the farm home with a mod
eTn enlightenment.
The farmers Of today know exactly
where President Taft stands on ar
bitration, reciprocity, protection to
the American workingman, govern
mental efficiency, and the like. They
know about the Wilson Harvey Wat
terson controversy. They have read
about the proposed central reverse
association, likely in the Saturday
Evening Post, and know what #
means. They know as well
as they know their names
that Theodore Roosevelt has
always ignored the tariff ques-
ton. They know that Mr.. Roosevelt
has tangled himself up rather badly
on the initiative, referendum and re.
call. They know what President Taft
means by a non-partisan, scientific
tartft revision board. The farmers
are studying out these problems and
they cannot be fooled with silly mis-
representations. because they detect
them the moment they are proffered
Demagogues and tricksters cannot
ram political bumcombe down tn,
throats of the farmers any more. In
presenting issues and in making argu.
ments for the farmers, everybody hal
to stick to the truth and fight out
issues strictly on theirlmerits. 1t Is
only by SO doing that they can HOPE
to gain the respectful consideration
of the modern agriculturlst.

Pooling the Farmers.

Puerile arguments are being cir
culated in the presidential campaign
that farmers here and farmers there
are turning from one candidate to
the other because they have found
out that the other favored conserya-
ton, or reciprocity, or arbitration, or
some ottler side of an issue while all
along they thought he did not favor
those things.
Such arguments are but silly rot.
They are an insult to the intelligence
of the average farmer, who. by the
way, is far more informed in regard
to the political situation than is in-
dictated by these presumptions. The
farmers of today are reading and

Secretary Reeds Verdict.

There is still large number OF
prominent men in this state who

hievements of President Taft. The
Charleston Mail shows that Stuart F.
Reed, secretary Of state, is numbered
among them, unless he has very re-

pressed, that opinion never fails to

only by close observance of the broad
minded policies of the president. Like
the large majority of those who gave
the presideAt their hearty endorse
ment but little over six months ago,
Secretary Reed not only pays Mr..
Taft high personal compliment, but
invites criticism by asking the ques-
ton: Can anyone point to any act
or recommendation Of his since he
became president that does not sus-
tain his past reputation?" So far as
the Mail is aware, Secretary Reed has
had no occasion to change his opinion
of the president since last July z. AS
noted yesterday, in reproducing the
governors endorsement of President
Taft as of that date, not all who en-
dorsed him then have turned against
him since, or have flocked to the
Roosevelt support. Whether or not
Secretary Reed entertains the same
idea as the governor regarding the
Taft candidacy, We cannot say, and
would consider it presumptuous to
ask. However, we again take the
liberty of publishing Secretary Reeds

ident, which is herewith given. Said
Mr.. Feed:
"The president has a record Of
achievement covering long public
career before he reached the presi-
dency, which fixes irrevocably his
status as statesman and jurist. He
brought to the great office he now
holds rare qualities in mind, patrio-
tism and integrity. Can any one
point to any act or recommendation
of his since he became president that
does not sustain his past reputatton7
II think not. In the last analysis it
will be found that Taft stands for the
American square deal for every man,
no matter how poor OF lowly, and for
