TAT SENTIMENT N OHIO COUNTY.

n In The intsaaseneer this morning appears a list of Republicans
kof Ohio County who have pledged themselves to work for the re-
Termination and reelection Of VIM. II. Taft. While thi. list is by no
0means complete and by no means representative Of all the Taft Re-
|lpubicanism of Ohio County, IL may be proper to call attention to the
|rharacter Of the men who have voluntarily signed this paper. They
jare men in every walk Of hfe-bankers, business men, manufacturers
and working men. Any one who is familiar with the active citizen
trAip Of this county will not fail to recognize in the names of the
|Pgners OF Ibis paper the men who represent the leadership in in
yHustry and in rcbtc affairs in this community.
N NothingEould be more decided than the remarkable develop
,hment OF piblc opinion in Ohio County during the past six weeks
ifavorableto the denomination and reelection of Vim. II. Taft. The
ssound' ne sane and the conservative sentiment Of the community has
Stbecn aroused, aroused as it has not been aroused since 1896; aroused,
sfhnt by attacks upon the judiciary, by the PRONUNCIATION of revolu-
;tinary and Socialistc doctrines, and, second, by the dangers that
Jrathered and fosered by Democrats and by the kind of Republicans
|fwho are pleased to call themselves "progresives"
2 wheeling and Ohio County are typical OF the sound, solid bust
kness interests of West Virginia. They are typical of the best cii
zenship in West Virginia, and they stand for a lawful and orderly
progress for the development of popular institutions along sane and
ciearly established lines. Moreover, they stand for protection to the
= important industries of West Virginia. They stand for the mainten-
ance OF prosperity among our iron and steel workers, among our
wool growers, among our pottery employees. among ur miners and
\ ming owners, and they recognize in Vim. II. Taft the man who stands
Tor the things that they stand for.
days Intelhgencer is evidence of the strength of his appeal to the
thoughtful voters of the country. Wheeling and Ohio County are
not different in this respect from the rest of West Virginia. They
<whl register their votes for VIM. H. Taft for denomination and for
heelecton.

THE BUSINESS SITUATION.

Amid the business disturbances
which a presidential year always
brings. 1t is gratifying to note the
continued increase in our foreign
Trade. During the last seven months
our exports have been $780,. 900. 900.
an increase OF S4S. 900. 900. Within the
same period our imports were 1912.
OO0. 900. an increase OF $4,000. 900.
This left an excess in exports OF near.
" 100000. 900 for seven months. In
exports the gain was chiefly in manu-
features. which showed nearly $4,000
900. While the volume OF business
in some lines IS not so great as might
be desired. and while prices have been
low. there Is undoubtedly a greater
business activity in the United States
today than at any time since 1897.
The readiustment from panic condi-
lions has been gradual but certain.
With a business revivai surely in prog.
ress. the %proprlety OF a continuance
Of sound conditions. and avoidance OF
radical changes. Is apparent.

THE FIRE CHIEF APPOINTED.

Some unjust criticism OF the board
OF control Is being engaged in on
account OF the manner OF appointment
OF the new dire chief. Il seems TO be
)rthe opinion Of many people that the
appointment was to be made simply
as a result OF the examination CON
Quoted by the board. This is not the
spirit or intent OF the law. The ex-
Elimination conducted by the board was
flor the purpose OF ascertaining the
qualifications OF applicants. Having
satisfied themselves as TO the mental
and educational qualifications OF appli-
cants. the board very properly exer.
~ cised its. judgment In making a selec-
lion from among them.
II is o the intent OF the civil ser.
vice law to make proficiency in studies
the sole requisite for promotion. and
the examination conducted in this case
was doubtless only a reasonable pre-
liminary q final action. instead OF be.
Z ing the crucial test. In selecting a
man from the department. the board
has obeyed the letter and intent Of
the law.
