Nothing strikes the Louisville
Courier ournal as richer than Col.
Roosevelt's moving reference to him
self as being confronted by "all the
professional" in his present fight to &C
cept nomination the republicans
seem determined to give to Presidnt
Taft. The Courier-Journal says that
to question Roosevelt's title to dis
tinction as politician is to fly in the
face of fact and performance. who"

stonal politician II not man who has
been, by vocation, an oflceholder and

tinue to hold ONCE is such that neither
precedent, principle nor pledge can
head him of when he believes he sees

The Courier,Journal closes it's ref.
erence to Col. Roosevelt by declaring
that 'tonly unique egotism could
prompt politician to stake everything
upon his ability to win a nomination
by breaking his word and by defying
custom, If not the constitution"

There seems to be conflict Of
opinion between Col. Roosevelt and

to the efficacy Of presidential prim.

says Roosevelt. "The democrats
voted for LaFollette in the North Da-
kota presidential primary" says John
S. Bass, Roosevelt's manager in North
Dakota. And not only is there diff
ference of opinion noted here as to the
practical utility of the primary. but
the results are not just exactly as
anticipated by Mr.. Roosevelt. Where
preferential primaries are provided I

Roosevelt with characteristic modesty.

President Taft's approval of the
presidential primary when properly
held, under legal safeguards, dictated
by sense and fairness, leaves nothing
to be desired, according to the view ex-
pressed by the Chicago Record-Her-
aid. 1T is couched in strong, earn
est and direct terms" says, the Record
Herald. 1T cannot fail to satisfy sin
cere progressives who care for perma-
nent rather than ephemeral results,
and who believe in deliberation and
reason rather than in snap verdicts
under the influence of fubdub and
rant" The Record-Herald declares it
to be plain that in states where legal,
fair, proper, well-considered presi-
Dental primary acts cannot be secured
in time, the methods which were good
enough in 1900, 1904, and 1908 should
be accepted as good enough in 1912.
ITO denounce them as the sum of
villaipy' it adds, sis childish and
hypocritical The average voter is no
fool; he sees through humbug The
demand for soap-box primaries, go-as-
yotl-please primaries, straw votes in
particular places, selected by small
groups of politicians, is a demand
which utterly fails to inspire enthu-
siasm or respect among sensible per
sons. It Is too manifestly demand
for buncombe only"

country enough printed matter to
make page every day in each paper.
This paper receives daily from three
to nine different envelopes
containing typewriter matter from
the Roosevelt bureau which it is asked
to print. Each of these envelopes con-
tains from one to three pages of fran
tic appeals to support Roosevelt and
condemns other public officials.
The LaFollette bureau has been
working along the same line ever
since last September or October. The
Roosevelt bureau only started few
weeks ago but it has already sent out
about as much printed matter since 1t
started as the LaFollette bureau has
since last fall. We are not finding
fault with the fact that the Roosevelt
promoters are circulating their money,
but it cannot be regarded as the SUI
perlative degree Of honesty for them
to be making the strenuous campaign
for votes that they are making and
at the same time claim that there Is
great demand by the people that
their candidate be nominated.
LaFollette is honest enough to say
that he is working for the office be-
cause he wants 1t.
Taft says he is entitled to second
nomination on the record Of the ad-
ministration and, party precedent.
The Roosevelt boosters are trying
to sail into office on the cry "the peo-
pie want u.s. and are sending out by
the bushel, literature telling the peo-
pie to say to the people that the peo-
Mo wont PoOc avalt ''.
The Roosevelt bureau is willing the
people shall have what the people
want if the people will let the Roose-
welt bureau tell the people what it is
that the people want. In other words,
the people must not want anything
except what the Roosevelt boosters
want the people to have.

Killed ON the Railroad.

Harry A. Reed, well-known conduc-
tor on the B. & D. Railroad, was fatally
injured on the switch leading into the
stone quarries at Kearneysville last FIJI
day morning. A draft OF cars was being
moved into the quanies, and they were
running SO fast that they would have
bumped into other cars on the track.
Reed saw the danger and attempted to
turn on the air brakes while the cars were
IN motion. He was caught and thrown
under the cars, the wheels passing over
his body and crushing his leg both above
and below the knee. He was pulled
from under the car by Brakeman Cline in
a dying condition, and expired in short
time. The unfortunate man lived IN
Brunswick, where he leaves a wife and
nine children.
Harvey Bitner, of Harcock, Md, met
with a fatal accident at Shenandoah juno
ton last Thursday afternoon. He had
been recently given work as brakeman
on the B. & D. Railroad, apd was on his
third trip out when he met his death. He
was unfamiliar with the road, and as his
train was passing the Junction he stood
up on top of box car just after it passed
the warning cords. In an instant his
head struck against the overhead bridge
OF the Norfolk & Western Railway and
he was instantly killed, the top ofhis head
being crushed. The train was stopped,
out he was past human help, and the
body was taken to Brunswick and pre-
pared for burial. The young man was
p years old.
lanes H. Nicewarner, native OF Har-
per's Ferry, foreman OF bridges on the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, was killed
last Monday by being struck by loco
motive as he was walking along the track
of the lockwood branch, between Cum
berland and Pittsburg. Mr.. Nicewarner,
who was 81 years old, had been in the
B. & o. service for AZ years. He is sur
vived by his wife, son and two daugh-
tiers. He was buried in Cumberland.
