On train running out of New York a
few days ago couple of gentlemen took
a poll of the voters in one of the cars.
Of the fifteen men in the car, ten were
Republicans, three were Democrats, one
was Socialist and one an independent.
When asked to express themselves as to
their choice for President, thirteen said
that they intended to vote for Wilson,
one was for Roosevelt, and the Socialist
said he would vote for the nominee of
his party. Not one of the number was
for Taft.

In Memoriam.

In sad but loving remembrance of m
dear brother, w. U. D. Lookingbill, VIII
departed this life June q, 1912, aged
years, 2 months and p days. Gone, bl
not forgotten.
Oh, what shall | do to be saved,
When the pleasures OF youth are fled
And tire Brother have loved.
From the earth is removed,
And weep over the grave OF the dead.
Thirty-one happy years we roamed together
As happy as two could be,
And why we had to separate
tbs sad Tor one to see.
Friends may think III soon forget him.
Soon my aching heart be healed:
Little do they know the sorrow
Lies within my heart concealed.
My home is sad, oh. God, how dreap.
Lonesome. lonely, every spot,
Listening for the voice OF brother.
Weary. for hear il not.
A dear brother from us has gone.
A voice loved is still.
A place is vacant in my home,
Which never can be hlled.
Dear brother, how can give YOU up,
You whom loved so well?
How can drink this bitter cup,
And say TO thee, farewell p.
In the city OF the dead.
We have laid thy weary head,
Lay thee in thy bed OF clay,
Till the resurrection day.
Yet again hope 10 meet thee.
When the day OF life is fled,
And in heaven with Joy TO greet thee,
Where no farewell tears are shed.
Written by his devoted sister,
NJ A. L. WATERS.

Poor President Taft has another family
quarrel on his hands. Secretary Mac
Veagh OF the Treasury Department and
Assistant Secretary Andrew have had such
serious differences that Andrews has been
forced to resign, and they are airing their
grievances in the newspapers, much to
the discomfort of the President. Mr.
Taft is peaceable soul, but he's always
in hot water.

Nowthat the smoke of battle has cleared
away and the people have clear view
of the great Baltimore convention, the
figure of Bryan stands out as the one
dominant personality, and many who
doubted him for sixteen years are ready
to believe that he would rather be right
than President.

GOVERNOR WILSON is holding out the
olive branch to all factions OF the Demo-
cratic party and invites everybody into
the fold. But at the same time he is
making it plain that these are progressive
times and that there will be no compro-
mise that suggests any surrender of prin-

THERE doesn't seem to be much
chance of a divided Republican party
winning in West Virginia against United
Democracy. DR.. Hatfield may have the
black belt in his pocket, but he haSn''
much OF hold on the balance OF the
State. Hundreds Of influential Republic
cans declare that they will never vote
for him.

THE West Virginia Republicans are in
a very inharmonious condition because
of the fight between Col. Roosevelt and
the progressives on one hand and PreSi-
dent Taft and the regulars on the other.
Former Governor Dawson has signed the
call for the third party convention, and
thus unmistakably indicates his prefer
ence for the progressive wing of the par
ty. Governor ,Glasscock has not def
nitely indicated which side he will affiliate
with, but as he was one of the seven
Governors who originally invited Col.
Roosevelt to become candidate and ex-
pressed strong disapprobation of Presi-
dent Taft's administration, the regulars
have but little to hope for from him.
DR.. Hatfield, candidate for Governor,
has been Roosevelt man, but as he is
nowrthe regular candidate of his party he
is quite willing to receive the support of
both factions and is trying to straddle.
The other candidates on the State ticket
are also trying to carry water on both
shoulders, and just naturally hate to COM
nit themselves. They were getting along
very nicely until Mr.. Dawson came out
flat-footed for the new party and an
nounced that West Virginia is a third
party State, but they are in hole now.
They fear to antagonize shrewd Mr..
Dawson, Governor Glasscock, VIM. P.
Hubbard, William Seymour Edwards and
the other influential leaders of the Roose-
welt movement, yet they dare not OPP
pose the regular party organization back
ed by President TAFT and the federal Of
fice-holding contingent.
Every move that is now to be made on
the political chessboard will be well worth
watching. and we predict that Mr.. Daw-
son is going to get someone in corner.

A MOVEMENT has been started by GER
prominent Republicans to induce both
President Taft and Colonel Roosevelt to
withdraw from the presidential contest,
and agree on compromise candidate.
This is not likely to be done. for Taft and
Roosevelt have for each other so bitter a
personal feeling that neither is likely to
yield.
We hope there may be no compromise,
for this is a glorious opportunity to kill
two birds with one stone.

THE bill providing for a reduction OF
tariff in the chemical schedule was killed
in the Senate last week by the Republic
can majority. Just wait-it will not be
long until there will be full Democratic
administration and then there'll be relief
from all of these tariff inquiries.

The Roosevelt third party movement
was launched on Monday, when Senator
Joseph M. Dixon, of Montana, Roosevelt's
political manager, issued call for con-
vention of the National Progressive
Movement" to be held in Chicago on Au-
gust 9th. The call is signed by Republi
cans representing forty States, former
Governor Dawson standing for West
Virginia. Truth compels the statement
that the call arouses very little enthusiasm.
The nomination of Woodrow Wilson by
the Democrats has taken the wind out of
the sails OF the Roosevelt party, and most
of the progressives who are not hide
bound partisaas will rally around the
standard of the Democratic candidate.

In Virginia there is good deal OF crit
icism of the four big bosses, Senators
Martin and Swanson, Congressman Flood
and Governor Mann, for their persistent
opposition to Woodrow Wilson in the
Baltimore convention. Although Virginia
was overwhelmingly for Wilson from the
very beginning OF his campaign, the pro-
fessional politicians, led by Senator Mar
tin, made strenuous efforts to belittle this
sentiment, and by trickery and fraud pre-
vented the selection of Wilson delegates
in many sections where his friends were
largely in the majority. This opposition
was kept up in the convention. where
the Organization" fought Wilson for the
sole reason that If knew he would not
permit himself TO be used TO perpetuate
the selfish personal interests OF the poll
ticians. Returning to Virginia, the bosses
find mutterings of disapproval that are
likely to become formidable, and the real
progressives will be backed by the peo-
pie if they shall rebel against further
domination OF these arbitrary representa-
tives of the corporations who pose as
party leaders.
In a lesser measure, the West Virginia
delegates to the Baltimore convention
misrepresented their constituents. Grant
ing that several OF the delegates were
conscientiously favorable to Clark, and
entirely justified in sticking to their hon.
est choice, it is at the same time fact
that part of the delegation knowingly
allowed themselves to be used as tools
for the corporate interests and were un-
faithful to their constituents and regard
less of public sentiment. The people
cannot but view them with suspicion
now. They are sham progreSSiveS, and
have forfeited their right to the confidence
of the voters until they shall show by
their actions that they are in sympathy
with the present spirit of the party.

We congratulate the Hon. John T. Nc
Graw upon tire result of the Baltimore
convention. He was one of the original
Wilson men in West Virginia, and though
ne cheerfully complied with the instruc-
tionS that forced him to vote right along
for Clark when his heart was with the
Jersey man, in the end he saw his first
and only choice nominated for President.
Col. McGraw had unwavering faith in
Wilson, and it was proud moment for
him when he finally saw West Virginia
give its sixteen votes to his candidate.
Speaking of Wilson's firm friends in
this State, the Register is proud of the
fact thatit advocated him from the moment
his candidacy was first announced, and
in season and out Of season, publicly and
privately, held his banner aloft. We shall
follow his standard until we see him in
stalled inithe highest Office in the land.

THE House Committee on the Judiciary
has unanimously recommended that Judge
Robert w. Archibald, of the Court of
Commerce, be impeached before the bar
OF the United States Senate. Judge Arch
bald is accused Of using his high office to
extort money from individuals and COM
panies, and if half of what is charged
against him is true he is mighty bad
egg. Judge Archibald is not the only man
who has soiled the judicial ermine, and
the misuse of influence on the bench is
responsible for the insiStent demand for
recall of judges.
The whole trouble comes primarily, of
course, from appointing unfit men as
judges, fault that has been very preva-
lent under the two last administrations.
