The country needs to get rid Of political hacks
and professional candidates II wants to interest in
politics and in government the abest men that the
country possesses. Wherever big work has been
done in country, it has been done by men Of power
and usually by men that have proved successful
in something else besides politics
George Washington was a good soldier-and
about the richest man in the country when he did his
great work for this republic. Nobody suggests that
ne ought to have kept out Of politics because he hap
pened to be rich.
Jacques Coeur was the richest man in all Europe
when his power of organization and his great capital
were put at the service of France in crisis brought
on by incompetency in government.
Dsrae, who did so much for England-noro
than any other man, perhaps, except Pitt-was man
Of great power, and would have been man Of vast
wealth if he had thought it worth while to make
money. He made millions for England in his pur-
chase Of the Suez Canal bonds, and hundreds Of
millions in other ways.
II other men, having proved their ability in the
big industrial work of the country, will follow the
example of Perkins and take share in government
and place in politics, they will do much to increase
efficiency in government affairs.
And they need not abandon their big undertake
ings-f those undertakings are legitimate.
man should be builder as we'll is a talker
and awmaker.
The ablest in government have been un-
usually able in practical affairs.
The wonderful fight that Votaire made against
oppression and vile injustice did not prevent his
building up a prosperous community and making
himself very rich man. Necker was great bus-
ness man, we'll as great statesman.
Colonel Roosevelt should not seem to apologize
foN having Perkins with him. On the contrary he
should be proud of having started progressive
movement that can attract successful men, and not
merely attract the hacks and the failures of other
political parties.

MR.. PENROSE'S TAME DISCLOSURES"

Senator Penrose, rising to explain his receipt Of
a $4,000 deposit certificate from the political
amoner of the Standard Oil Company, declares that
it was contribution to the Republican campaign
fund Of 1904. He brttresses this statement by call
ing to testify, John D. Archbod, who sent the money
and three who dead--E. H. Hartman, Israel
w. Durham, and Cornelius N Bliss!
Senator Penrose points with satisfaction to the
fact that he was chairman of the Pennsylvania State
committee and that States member of the national
committee in 1904 and as such was in political touch
with Colonel Roosevelt. Roosevelt of course, could
not we'll help that; he had to get along with the
conditions he found
Roosevelt denies knowledge of Standard Oil
contribution to the fund, and has stated that ne
dered that none such should be accepted. Chair
man Cortelyou has confirmed this. Against their
testimony is the statement of Penrose, who cites
the late Mr.. Bliss as his authority There will be
no denial from Mr.. Bliss.
The real refutation of these nsinuations Of
corrupt deal between Roosevelt on side, and
Hartman and Archbold on the other, is in the fact
that early in his second Administration Roosevelt
ordered suits under the antitrust act against the
Hartman railway merger and the Standard Oil Com
pany There is, then the testimony Of Roosevelt
and Cortelyou, both very much alive, and Of these
| two suits brought by the Government, against the
word of Penrose 1t is not hard to judge which story
VIII be DeNeVeu.
| Mr. Penrose says that William Finn offered
ST 900 900 or So 100000 for Senatorship. That is
preposterous several grounds: that Finn would
pay such price, that Penrose would refuse it, and,
finally the demonstrated fact that Penrose and Dur
ham did not have the disposal of that Senatorship.
1t was we'll known at the time, just as Finn now
says, that Cassatt, Frick and Don Cameron decided
the matter, and gave their orders to the nominal
authorities in Pennsylvania.
4 AS to the Penrose charges against E. A. Van
Valkenburg- he indicted for bribery in con-
nection with the Wanamaker campaign for the Sem
ate-they have been made perfectly clear so many
times that it is rather remarkable that even Penrose
should hope to fool anybody by bringing them for
ward again. Van Valkenburg was indicted repeated
y, in the heat of that fight and the most desperate
efforts were made by the Pennsylvania machine 70
get him behind bars. He was never able to force
one of the cases to trial The charges were trumped
up for campaign purposes with no thought of press
ing them. They merely testified to the utter sub
serviency of certain Pennsylvania courts to the
vicious purposes of the gang
If this is the best that the Tory gangsters can do
toward discrediting Roosevelt and his Pennsylvania
leaders-and it manifestly is-there will be no un-
certainty about the public's verdict

LIVES SAVED BY TELEPHONE.
One Man Drank Poison, and Another
Severed Four Arteries.

Within the last several days two lives
have been saved over the telephone.
Rev. W. Lentz. OF Orders, Breth-
rem minister, took poison by mistake tor
his medicine. No physician being here,
his family got instruction from a distant
physician. Antidotes were administered
and his life was saved.
William MIonlch, in Pendleton county,
tried to cut bullet from the breach OF a
gun. The knife slipped and severed four
arteries in his wrist. He was in danger
of bleeding TO death. DR.. Meyers, al
Oak Flat, six miles away, gave instruc-
tons over the phone. Another life was
saved. Mr.. Mionich is 76 years old.
So daily are valuable lives preserved
and saved by the use OF the Jefferson
County Telephone.

Manual Training and Home Economy.
The number Of high schools in West
Virginia In which manual training and
home economics are taught is rapidly
increasing. The summer school of the
state university, the coming summer,
will offer practical instruction in both
OF these subjects. Mechanical Hall.
with its well-equipped shops, will be
used for the manual training courses
and the new laboratories of the home
economic department will be in use
in that subject.
