Glasscock gave a pledge not only to
the Republicans OF West Virginia but
to the people Of the whole state. Thus
far. IL Governor Glasscock has lifted
a finger TO make that pledge good, the
public is not informed OF ii. Capable
attorneys have prepared this case and
have forwarded the papers to Gov
ernor Glasscock, but he has allowed
week after week and month after
month to pass by. and the papers have
not been presented at Washington,
and they have not been heard OF or
seen in the United States senate. Il
Is not because insufficient
ment has not been given by Repub-
lican senators Of standing and char
acter. Elihu b. Root, probably the
greatest lawyer in the United States,
has indicated that In his opinion II
is the duty OF the governor OF the
state to act. Other Republican SEN
ators have taken like positions.
The I~ntelligencer believes that Gov
ernor dlasscock will act, but precious
time has already been lost. and for
that loss there is no excuse. For
every days time that is further lost.
there will be greater cause to com
plain and greater cause 20 criticise.

REPUBLICANS GETTING TO.
GETHER.

BY hard work. much advertising and
the liberal use OF Charlie Powell's
satchel. the Democrats OF Ohio county
managed To get about 2.lOO voters
10 take part in the primaries on
Thursday. This was about 800 OF
the number OF voters that turned out
for the Republican primaries on Tues
day, April 23rd. In the Democratic
primary it might also be noted. two
prominent Democrats. both residents
OF Ohio county, were opposing each
other. The Republican primary had
no local candidates for delegates TO
the national convention. n n con-
clusion Is TO be drawn from the in
terest taken in the two events. il Is
that the Republican voters OF Ohio
county are more alert. more active
and more numerous than their Demo.
cratic brethren. In spite Of the minor
divisions the Republicans OF Ohio
county are getting together this year.
They intend to carry the ticket for
every good man on their ticket from
top to bottom. and they intend TO put
none but good men on their ticket.
They have the votes to do so and they
will do so.

Affords Ever Greater ADVANTAGES TO
the Home Builder Than the

In placing on the market the new
addition 10 Cedar Rocks. another new
and advantageous home building spot
IS at the disposal Of the realty buy
Ing public, and II Is likely that this
new plot VIII meet with the same
popular approval as the one which
was sold out so rapidly during the
several months past.
Elsewhere will be found the adver.
t.sement Of the Wheeling Realty Com.
pany. whose Offices are in the Schmul-
bach building. and Il Will no doubt be
read with much interest by all per
sons in search OF ideal home building
locations. Several points are TO be
considered. among them the many i'm.
provements that the location on Big
wheeling creek has undergone, bring.
ing the property into favor. More
homes will constantly be built. In
brief, the beauty and advantages OF
the location are too well known 10
need extensive mention. Though the
elevation is a feature approved by all.
the addition IS nevertheless easily ac-
cessible from the car line. The health
ful location. perfect natural drainage.
and a number Of other advantageous
features are also well worth cons!d.

SCREENING GRAVEL
DEVICE is SIMPLE

simple device for screening gravel
required for road work has been de-
veloped in Michigan in connection with
the operations OF the State highway
commission.
This device is a long screen about
the length OF the wagon box and three
feet wide. which is attached to the far
side OF the wagon box. The gravel is
shoveled over the wagon box against
the screen. allowing the pebbles to
slide back into the wagon. while the
sand falls through the screen onto the
ground on the opposite side.
Hand screening. however, is more
expensive than portable power screen
ing plants. frequently costing as much
as 40 cents per cubic yard for the
screened product Wherever the screen
ing Of sandy gravel has been tried, the
quality of the roads has been so much
improved that the people are satisfied
that the extra cost OF an adequate
screening plant is a good investment.

BATTLE SHIPS TO PARTICIPATE.
VIII Join I'm Celebration of LouIsI-
ana's Statehood AnnIyerrary.

At the request OF the Louisiana State
Historical Society. the Navy Depart
ment yesterday ordered the battle ships
New Hampshire and Nebraska, and the
Gunboat Petrol to be at New Orleans on
April 30 to participate in the celebration
of the admission OF Louisiana as a
STAGE into the Union.
Following these ceremonies the New
Hampshire will proceed TO join the Sec
ond division OF the Atlantic Fleet at
Hampton Roads. while the Nebraska and
Petrol will make cruise up the Miss
issippi River. While no effort will be
made TO determine how far up the Miss
issippi ship OF the Nebraska's class
can navigate. il is expected that. owing
to the stage OF high water at this sea-
son of the year, she will be able to pro-
coed further than any other battle ship
has yet gone.
