1.-TWO engines may look
equally good, may even
work equally well for a
time. In the end one proves
satisfactory, the other becomes
a nuisance. Why?
The satisfactory engine is
one that is carefully built,
and thoroughly tested.
Thorough testing takes time
and costs money. 1t means
careful adjustment under trying
conditions. 1t is an expensive
process, but necessary one if
the finished engine is to be
dependable.

of the interests-men who would
possess the qualifications of real
craftsmanship. But no sooner was
the party given chance to fulfill its
promises than it elected men of
practically the same type as those
whom it had been denouncing.
There was no excuse for any such
fragrant betrayal of the people in
the election of this class Of men to
the Senate. Every member of that
Legislative body knew exactly the
kind Of men their constituents were
demanding. Not a one of those
Judases could have possibly been
elected had he declared prior. to the
election that he was going to vote
for men like Watson and Chiffon.
But thank Cod, there were a few

at loss to recall it. Every move of
that body from the first day to the
last was dominated by the corrupt,
oligarchy of the state.
That rutheless aggregation of dirty
capital forced the Legislators to elect
its candidates for the Senate, and
then in order to keep the people
from repudiating one of those sena-
tors the coming year it stifled in
committee room the primary cleo
ton bill.
One of the leading factors that
contributed to Democratic victory in
the state last fall was the promise
of the party to send to the Senate

would represent the people instead

But alas, how my hopes and
dreams have been shattered so far
as my own state is concerned! :
What a glorious opportunity the
party had in West virginia. But
how signally the chosen leaders fail
ed to take advantage Of it!
The members Of the Legislature
in their blindness and cupidity,
abandoned their pledges upon which
they we're elected-repudiated the
reforms which our party for years
had been promising the people in the
event of Its being again intrusted
with power, and entered into an al
lance with the very interests they
were elected to fight.
