DIR. Hatfield and Thompson.

Strenuous efforts on the part of
Democratic newspapers. and CORE
spondents to make II appear that
large number of Republicans Will
not vote for Or. Hatfield for govern
or merely emphasize the fact that
the Democratic party fears Or. Hat
field and knows full well that he is
man Of great popularity with the
people. Were they to admit what
they really do believe they would
concede the fact that great many
Democrats will vote for DR.. Hatfield
in addition to his own full party
vote together with all those who par
ticlpated in the primary election
that nominated him. 1T is recog-
nized that the primary was fair and
that those who participated in 1t are
satisfied with the result. Many who
are now followers of Theodore
Roosevelt helped to nominate Dr.
Hatfield and they regard him as
muchi,their nominee as he is OF
others The false impression Dem
ocratic newspapers are trying to
make as to the attitude of the many
thousands of voters at the primary
election together with the bitter at
tacks they are making on him re-
veal the fact that unless they can
stem the tide. by such methods DR..
Hatfield will be overwhelmingly
elected. Several of the Democratic
newspapers seem to have no conf
dence in William r. Thompson's
ability to cope with DR.. Hatfield in
the matter of popular strength and
they are apparently para1yzed SO far
as Thompson is concerned To over
come this perilously weak condition
they have decided to assail DR.. Hat
field with the hope OF making him
weak but their efforts are futile.
The people recognize Hatfield strong
and Thompson weak in their favor.
Discussing this as well as other
phases of the methods employed to-
ward DR.. Hatfield, the Wheeling In
tel!igencer editorially comments as
follows. y \" t,'af r
A few Democratic newspapers In
West Virginia hug the delusion that
DR.. II. ID. Hatfield, Republican candi-
date for governor, viii be opposed
by large number of the Republi-
cans who took part in the primary
on June 4. Entirely, regardless of
the action that may or may not be
taken by the so-called third party,
DR. Hatfield will continue to be the
Republican candidate for governor.
and will be triumphantly elected.
No public man who has appeared be-
fore the people of West Virginia in
recent years, has made more de-
cided and more favorable impress
sion. His earnestness, integrity and
his strength of character are so ap-
parent that voters are won to him

The OK and the Moose.

The ins.ncerity OF the Bull Moose
and his followers in regard to the
workings of some primary laws that
allow candidate to win an office
even when he polls smaller num-
Der of votes cast than his opponent,
is thus shown up by the Parkersburg
Sentinel which doubtless had recol-
lect!ons. of the California primary
when bordering upon the subject:
This popular rule business often
depends upon which side the popu-
lace lines up with. The Moose
velters from the Big Chief down,
have had much to say about the
cruel crimes of conventions in over
riding the rule OF the people as ex-
pressed at primaries. The other day
Kansas had primary. Governor
Stubs ran for the United States
Senate as, a progressive against SEN
ator Curtis, who has always been a
standpatter. Ten thousand more
persons voted for Curtis than for
Stubs, but Stubbs's votes were so
distributed that he carried larger
number OF members of the leglsla-
ture. Will Stubs and his members
of the legislature abide by the pop
ular. vote? Not on your half-tone.
They say It is up to them to elect
the senator and the same shall be
Stubs. And yet Kansas politics and
Kansas primary laws and Kansas
Legislation generally have been held
up to us as the last word in the
grand and glorious movement of re-
storing to the people the rule that is
r.ghtfully theirs. If Curtis had cop
ped the legislators instead of the
popular vote and put the steamroller
in action, as Stubs Is doing,
wouldn't howl have gone up from
the. sacred precincts of Oyster Bay
to the sanctuary of Holy Hiram
Johnson across the Rockies?

rule that will make society what 1t
ought to be Is for every man to be
as efficient as he can, and If he isn't.
he is less OF man, and, If everybody
ls that way, socletyis a poor and
shabby institution.
Il is the interest of everybody that
everybody else should make the
most of himself. just as it is every
.body's interest that every other body
should be an honest man. The more
efficient. man is at his work, the
more work there will be for others
to do. This is one of those spiritual
facts that it is hard for the flesh
sense to sec, but it is there, all the
same. and 1t is the spiritual law that
runs this world. V.

whenever and wherever they

whenever and wherever they see
him
Dr. Hatfield is a loyal Republican.
He believes in the eternal principles
of the Republican party. He is will
ing II need be to sacrifice himself
and his private ambition for the
good of the Republican party, but
he is more than mere party man.
He is big, broad brainy West vir-
& MAN; a man worthy in every way
Iof the highest office for which he has
been nominated; man who inspires
confidence on sight. and as such, he
will be elected by the voters Of West
Virginia, regardless of factional diff
ferences. The splendid campaign for
the nomination which Or. Hatfield
made is an evidence of the kind of
campaign that he will make for the
governorship. He is a business man
of broad ideas, and histfitness for the
executive Office and his capacity to
render service are so apparent that
his election may be taken as a fore
gone conclusion.

American Road Congress.

A practical effort to bring the sup
ply of expert highway engineers to
the point where they will be numer.
Gus enough to meet the demand for
their services is to be made at the
American Road Congress to be held
on the Million Dollar Pier in At
lantic City September 80 to october
). AT the present time with the
people of the United States spending
more than 100000. 900 year for
the Improvement of highways the
demand for expert highway en-
gineers exceeds the supply. There
is to be conference of educational
institutions at the American Road
Congress to be directed by the Soci-
ETY. for the Promotion of Engineer
ing Education, and through this con-
ference efforts are to be made to in
duce the leading universities to es-
tahlish specific and practical courses
forl the instruction of highway en-
gineers.
At the present time there are
about eighty-two universities de-
voting some attention to highway en-
gineeriRg, The instruction in this
branch OF engineering, however, is
iIr most cases. merely part of the
general training of engineers, so that
theret%ill be- sufficient number OF
trained men to handle the great
problem That has been thrust upon
the United States by the vide spread
agitation for better system of pub
lie highways that will reduce the
cost of hauling crops and permit
shipments by farmers at all seasons
of the year.
Prof. Henry II. Norris. of Cornell
University, is the secretary of the So
clety for the Promotion OF En-
gineering Education, which is COM
posed OF officials of the leading edu-
cational institutions having en-
cheering departments. Professor
Morris has just sent letters to all
the institutions which are repre-
scented in their society asking them
to appoint delegates to represent
them at the convention which will

Efficiency.

When men oppose efficiency on
any economic idea. they undermine
the real virtue of life and rhat is
character No man can do less than
his best without harming himself.
II is terrible doctrine to preach that
a man should do as little as he can
in order to diminish the general prod
uct, says the Ohio Stats Journal.
This is setting low estimate on
life. It is degrading man In order
to make greater demand for wheat
and coal and lumber.
The lesson should be universally
taught that the, efficiency Of one man
is blessing to another. The only

that If the universities Will supply
well equipped engineers it will be a
long step towards doing away with
the careless supervision of the con-

roads that now results in the loss

vested in roads.

st. Petersburg.-The mobilization Of
the armies Of Bulgaria, Servia and
Greece probably will mean immediate
war, according to the belief in politi-
cal circles here.
The nature Of Turkeys military ac-
tivity In the last few days is taken to
mean that she intends to make war.
In that case the Balkan coalition nat.
urally has forestalled her in her en-
deavor to profit by the rapid concen-
tration Of troops.
The opinion is held here that the &C.
tion Of the Balkan states has resulted
from the inability of the powers to
deal with the situation.

sian minister, NJ. Sazonoff, has had in
London, have been apparently barren.
