THE office of United States District At
torney for the Northern District of West
Virginia seems to have greater attraction
than any other federal appointment TO be
given to this State. 1t is being sought
by many prominent West Virginians,
among whom are J. Hop Woods, OF
Philippi, who so successfully conducted
Congressman Browns campaign; Stuart
w. Walker, of Martinsburg, who was in
charge OF the State Democratic campaign
that resulted less fortunately; Ben h.
Hiner, of Pendleton county, who made a
gallant but losing fight as the Democratic
candidate for Congressman-at-large; J.
!. O'Brien, a well-known Wheeling law
yer; and Jefferson county offers two
candidates in the persons OF Geo. M.
Beltzhoover, Jr., and Hugh H. McCor-
mick, of Charles Town, two OF our ableSt
and best-known young lawyers.

THERE seems to be a general protest
in West Virginia against what is termed
the office-appointing trust that certain
more or less successful politicians are
seeking to establish for their own advan-
tage and for the benefit OF close ring OF
bosses. A small number of these bosses
are going TO try to dictate the appoint
ments to be made by the Democratic ad-
ministration, and are practicing the war
cry of party regularity as their slogan.
We rather think that they will have to
show some better credentials than party
regularity to President Wilson. He knows
very well what crimes are committed in
the name of party regularity, and the
greatest fight that he ever made was
against Jim Smith, the Irregular" party
boss in his own State.
1t is one thing for party leaders to NOM
mate capable, deserving, creditable men
to fill positions of honor and service.
II is quite another for political bosses
to push forward their satellites who are
only useful as segments Of a political ring.

We are very firmly Of the opinion that
Woodrow Wilson was the first choice of
a large majority of the Democrats OF
West Virginia long before the Baltimore
convention, yet the professional politi-
clans, obeying the voices OF their masters
"higher up" almost to a man opposed
him. The delegates who represented
West Virginia in the national convention
sat in their seats day after day voting
against Wilson in the most determined
manner, and effectually stiiled the voices
of the small minority in the delegation
who really represented the majority of
the people. Wilson won the nomination
in spite OF this opposition, and the people
were vindicated.
Now come some of these same politi-
clans who tried to defeat Mr.. Wilson,
and clamor for the very best places that
he will have to give out. We can almost
admire them for the stupendous gall that
they are thus displaying, but we hope
that the President will be properly en-
lightened before he hands out the pie.

w. B. BEVILL, for many years general
passenger agent OF the Norfolk & West
ern Railway, has been promoted TO the
position of passenger traffic manager,
and w. c. Saunders is appointed general
passenger agent. The order became ef-
fective December lst. We are real glad
to note this change. Mr.. BeVill has been
what might be called-er-conServatlVe,
even extremely conservative, and mas
not been, apparently, willing to haul TWO
passengers where heretofore ii has been
the custom to haul but one. For instance,
for hundred years or so it has been the
rule to run but one excursion year
from the Shenandoah Valley division to
that charming resort, Pen-Mar; ana
though from time to time men have plead
ed with tears in their eyes TO run an extra
train for special occasions, he has never
yet departed from the ancient custom.
And though hundreds of Hage rstowners
have wanted a convenient special train
for our Morgan's Grove fair each sue
ceeding year, Mr.. Bevill made up his
mind years ago not TO let them have it
and he never did. AS for excursions 10
the wonderful Luray Caverns. it was
heresy to ask for them oftener than once
a year. We hope than Mr.. Saunders
may not be ultra-conservative in his atti-
tude toward the comfort and desires OF
the people along the line of the n. & w.
indeed, we don't believe that it would
hurt to show a bit of progreSSiveness.

GOVERNOR GLASSCoCK announces that
he will call an extra session of the West
Virginia Legislature to meet on January
I'd, six days before the time for the regu-
lar session to convene. His desire is
that the Legislature will be organized and
ready for business by the time the regu-
lar session begins. AS the State Senate
will be tie, there is probability that
valuable time may be wasted in organlz-
ing it, as was the case two years ago,
when the Republican Senators fled the
State. We commend Governor Glass
cock tor calling an extra session, which
we regard as necessity if the Legisla-
ture is to have sufficient time to transact
its business. II is said that Governor

EVERYBODY admits now that had the
Democrats come out boldly for the Pro-
hibition Amendment they would have
swept everything in this State. But the
shrewdest politicians are often as stupid
as owls, and usually assume that morality
and cleanness mean only weakness.
There is no doubt that the party would

honesty and had the courage to name a
ticket known TO be sound on the temper
