that he deplores the entrance Of 3
third party. into the geld. notwith-
standing that he strongly favored
and ardently supported colonel
Roosevelt for the nomination. He
is first, last and all the time Re
publican, or so we have occasion to
.believe. and we have no hesltancy
in expressing our opinion that, II
elected in November. he will cast his
vote for the regular nominee for-the
presidency. And yet, there are
hundreds who will not view him in
this light. and who vii, interpret his
letter to Chairman Highland direct
ly opposite, and from these the real
harm may come. Taking the ques-
ton all in all, we believe it would
be far better for themselves and far
better forevery candidate on the Re
publican ticket to be voted In this
falls election If the electors would
come out in the open and make a
statement concerning their attitude
towards the head of the ticket on
which their names will appear. or
course, they do not have to do this;
there is no law compelling them to
do 1t; in fact, so far as law is con-
cerned. they have 1t on their side in
not making a statement-but for
political expediency, as a pathway
to victory in November, they would
better heed the demand of the voters
now coming from all sources and
publicly proclaim where they stand.
If for Taft and regularity, all right
and good enough; II for Roosevelt
and irregularity, then, too, they
Would have better opportunity TO
win than they will have If they ut
terly refuse to say as to their atti-
tude. The voters WIFI scarcely be
denied in this smatter, and the de-
mand will grow stronger all the
time from now on The Mail would
suggest that all the nominees for
electors attend the meeting OF the
new state Republican committee at
Parkersburg, called for the 1915
inst, and there state their posi-
tions. Ut ould Do much to clarity
the present mixed and confused con-
dition. of affairs political on the Re-
publican side of the house.

tficttng measures that would be
passed Affecting congressman. state
senators and judicial districts, and
the probable return to the Democrat c
idea Of delegate districts, such as
Tyler1wirt, Jefferson4BerkeIey. Lew

What a Democratic victory would
mean in West Virginia it is hard to
exaggerate.
While Ex-Governor White urges
Republcan voters to unite on the
state and local tickets that have
been chosen, he is no less positive in
urging them to retain party solldar-
fly by remaipng true to the ticket
from top to bottom, from president
to constable. He concludes his
statement with this sensible advice:
"The duty OF the hour, 1t seems
to me, is for West Virginia Republl-
cans to get together, take our med
icine,' such of US as have to do SO,
and unite for a Republican victory
all along the line = I believe wise
counsel will prevail and that with a
little forbearance and good viii the
party will come together for victory
this fall.
a was opposed to the renomina-
ton Of the president, but as a West
virgInian, our duty to support the
entire Republican ticket seems to
me imperative. a.
Mr., White takes the only posi-
ton remaining open to West viz
glnia Republicans who desire to-
preserve the grand old party as an
instrument of power in. the AFFAIRS
of nation and state. A house d.
vided against itself will surely1fall'.
The situation resolves itself into the
simple proposition whether the af-
fairs of government are to be turned
over to the Democratic. party orr
whether they are to be guided in the
future by those principles of Re
that have played such
an important part in preserving and
developing the greatest system Of
free government on the face of the
earth. l,.s-.

Sane Summer Clothes

Some OF the hottest days OF sum-
mer shay as many as or more than
an insane Fourth of July did
"a rs85Searssback. But there is no
public authority to decree that men
shall wear sane clothes in the healed
term, ami the slaughter goes on,
dofefully observes the New York
Tribune. "A glance at crowd in
the street where the official there
mometer is registering more than
ninety degrees shows how little
progress is made toward more sensI-
BILE summer clothing, at least among
men. A quarter OF a century ago
men perhaps dressed more inappro-
priately, when starched shirts pre-
vailed and when yaistcoats we're
more generally held to be indispen-
sible. But in recent years about
the only progress toward more suit
able hot weather attire is the use
of less starch. Having disappeared
from the bosoms OF shirts, it is now
vanishingly more or less commonly
from their cuffs and collars.
But the coat remains as conserv-
atiyely oppressive as ever. Per-
haps one man in a hundred. wears
clothes Of some light washable fab
rio, but the number does not in
crease from year to year. Such
clothing is cheaper than wooden
clothing and migit be worn with ad-
vantage on a good many summer
days besides those which have their
record of deaths printed in the next
mornings papers. But TIE public
cIings to It's ancient habit of dress
ing unreasonably and uncomforta-
bly,, governed by some prejudice or
some notion Of dignity.

A Bulwark OF Peace

No more sincere tribute has been
paid to President Taft than that ut
tered by Bishop Merriman Colbert
Harris, OF Japan and Korea, now on
a visit to his home in the United
States, declares the Baltimore
american. Bishop Harris came to
this country to attend the General
Methodist Episcopal Conference in
Minneapolis in May. and since then
has visited several cities in the East,
including Washington. He was
first appointed to Japan in 1878,
and remained there until 1886. He
was elected bishop of Japan and
Korea in May, 1904. has done re-
markable work in the Far East and
IS in close touch with American
interests throughout the orient.
It is the honest conviction OF
Bishop Harris that American in.
terests, both religious and CONNER
cial, in The Far East would receive
a disastrous blow if-President Taft
should fail of reelection. Speaking

OF the president and his influence in
the Far East. Bishop Harris said:
president Taft's policy in the
Orient IS doing more to strengthen
the bonds OF friendship between the
United States sand Japan and to
MAINTAIN the open door in China
than any other president. He Is
regarded in the Far East as AmerI-
Gag greatest statesman, his policies
doing wonders in the advance 81
civilization. China recognizes that
thcssuccess Of the revolution and
Undergraduates OF the republic
we're largely due to President Tafts
influence over other powers. That
country. is still looking toshim for
moral support and would be keenly
disappointed to see him defeated.
The president is regarded in the
Orient as the .lantern-bearef Of
world peace, and is also esteemed as
the greatest and most efficient
friend of foreign missionaries, en-
cOuraging q clutches in their ac-
tivities in Distant lands.
THE defeat of President Taft
would be one of the greatest ca
lamlties that ever befell the coun-
try. This IS no time for the novi-
tiate : We dare not subject our do
mest!c and foreign interests to the
uncertainty and confusion and prob
ably injury of a political experiment,
nor, do we dare encourage the idea
qtfths third term. President Taft
is d man OF unquestlonable problty,.,
lofty patriotism, true progressive
ness and unstained Christian Eaarac-
ter-a man who is misunderstood on
account of his bigness, but who
must increase in popularity gas peo-
pie Scpms 10 appreciate his broad
sympat hlss, spGre motives, 1infailIng
loyalty to american institutions and

White Urges d,oNaltr .

SubstanHating the contention Of
this and other Republican newspa-
pers lin West Virginia that there ,is
no occasion nor excuse for a Roose-
,aslt 4hird party movement in this
State and that st is the plain duty
of all Republicans to unite in the
present campaign and at the polls
tos party success, former Governor
Albert B. White, who was one OF
those who favored Roosevelt's nomi-
nation in Chicago, comes out in a
public statement and urges all party
members to unite for a Republican
victory call along the line"
Mr.. White says that If the Re
publican of the state will forget
their denomination differences re.
.specting the presidential selection
long enough to think about the re-
suits Of a divided party, it will pos,
sibly lead to better understanding
He says the plain duty of all party
members is to stand by and elect
the splendid state ticket and Local
tickets that have been named by the
party because Democratic victory
would be so disastrous as to put
the Republican party out of power
in this state for a decade or two.

vlckers to Chairman Highland /.


In another column of today's Mail
We are producing the letter of Mr.
l.. D. Vickers, one of the nominees
of the Huntington convention for
elector on the Republican ticket
written in reply to a,aetter receI3sdi
by him from Virgil l.. Highland,
chairman of the Republican state
committee, says the Charleston
Mail. When Mr.. Highland was re-
quested, by resolution, at the COM
mittee meeting held here last week,
to ascertain, If possible, the views Of
the electors regarding the head fofs
the ticket to be voted this fall, ~,
was apprehended that he would re
ceiye a few.-replIes like unto that of
Mr.. VIckers. OF course, Mr.. Vick-,
ers has a right to his opinion in
this instance. as in all Instances, and
doubtless his reply to Chairman
brought to Mr.. Vickers
himself considerable satisfaction.
To the voter, however, both the!
Tart and the would-be Roosevelt
voter, the reply of Mr.. Vickers will
scarcely bring any satisfaction.
Should all the electoral nominees
pursue the course that Mr.. Vlckers
has pursued in his reply to Chair
man Highland, further confusion,
must result. We take it that the
gentlemen whom the party has
honored with the electoral nomina-
lions desire to have a majority in
the November election, so that they
can aid in the election of Repub-
lican president of the United States,
Ibut If they refuse to state their posi-
tions on a choice for president
whether they are regular or will
Throw the vote of thestate to third
party that isn't Republican, we give
lit as our opinion frankly thai many
voters will be driven to the support
|of the Democratic candidate for the
presidency. We hear many tried
and true Republicans say this right
here in Charleston. They do not
go behind closed doors to say 1t.
either. However, and as this may
be, It is to be hoped that the party's
nominees for electors will finally
come out out and say where they
stand. The fact that they were
nominated by a convention whose del
egates strongly favored Colonel
tRoosevelt for the presidential nomi-
nation does not necessarily follow
that they will desert the regularly
nominated Republican Ticket when
it comes to casting the states vote
lin the electoral college: but the peo-
|ple-all people-will naturally want
to know how they stand, will insist
on knowing, and, failing to learn,
many will be tempted to retaliate
for the omission by voting directly
opposite to their natural inclination.
So far as Mr.. vickers is concerned,
we have no reason in the world to
doubt his regularity. We know
