Prof Eucken must be seen and
heard" says one of his students, Tu
dor Jones, before the real signifi-
canoe Of his message becomes clear.
His personality attracts men and wo-
men of all schools of thought
He is man of the North. a mere
glimpse of the deep blue eyes reveals
this Immediately. His ancestors lived
IN close contact with nature and faced
the pertls of the great deep. "A trait
of EuCken's character almost entirely
unknown is his deep sympathy with
the small nations of Europe and espe-
cially with those of the North. He has
written and pleaded on behalf Of Po-
land, Finland, Norway, Sweden and
Denmark.
He believes with his whole soul
that size does not necessarily mean
greatness. When we compare the
greatness of Palestine and Greece with
world the latter sink into insight
ficance when weighed in the balances
of the spirit. Prof. Eucken has in
the last few years pointed out dan
ger to personality and character from
the vast organizations which have
been created in the various depart
ments OF life during the latter half of
the nineteenth century,
The deeper personality of man"
Prof. Eucken says, has reCeded more
and more into the background. This
fact is clear in the realms of COM
MERGE and of politics. We call q ma

succeeds IN outstriping other nations
in its exports and imports, or in form

Prof. Eucken is to deliver six lee

Up Against It,

While the United States SUI
preme Court denied the request
of the State of Virginia for the
entering of an immediate order
requiring West Virginia to pay
forthwith its share Of the ante
bellurn debt of the two states, it
set April 49, next, as the date for
a final hearing, if in the mean
time no agreement is reached.
Chief Justice White assigned
as a reason for this determine
ton, the desire and intention of
the Court to finally dispose of
the case during the current term
which ends June 1st, 1914.
It is more than likely that
Governor Hatfield will convene
the Legislature in-e3tra session
in the interim, to consider the
report. Of the Debt Commission,
Meanwhile it looks like the
State of West Virginia had al
lowed tile boat to leave her.
Virginia case was won by
Major Holmes Conrad, who for
ten years has acted as counsel for
the certificate holders, and has
met and vanquished the array of
counsel managing West Virginia S
case in every legal engagement
fought, up to and including the
appeal to the tribunal Of last re-
sort-th United States Supreme
Court.

says:
-" While protesting the greatest alb
florence against crooked politicians and
openly declaring against Tammany
Hall influences, he at the same time
appoints to office in other sections of
the country, men who represent the

Such criticism of the Presi-

fair minded men.
It is unfortunately true that
some appointments, such-as are
condemned in the above article, of
unfit if not unworthy men have
been made since the change of
Administration, but that they
were deliberately made by the
President in full knowledge of the
facts is absurd to those who have
, watched the answering fidelity
with which he has discharged
every trust confded in him.
Neither can it be maintained
that the Cabinet heads have been
parties to any such sinister sur
render to the corrupt element
which unfortunately is to be found
in every political party.
IF occasionally a bad one is
put over" in reward for past
INSCRIPTIONS service it can safely
be asserted that in such cases the
confidence of the President and
his advisers has been betrayed.
And he and they are too we'll
versed in reading human nature
to tolerate a continuance of such
imposition.

Why Alarming
--Except-to Republicans !?

-
The Charles Town Free Press. with
alarming frankness, comes out and
makes the statement that Hon. Brax-
ton D. Gibson, CT this county, should
be the next Democratic candidate for
the State Senate from this District.
While we differ politically with the be-
fore mentioned gentlemen, yet this pa
per recognizes Mr.. Gibson's avaiahil-
.ity and fitness for the Office mentioned.
and we want to say right here-and
that with irmness and conviction
that the Democrats of this district can
go a greater distance and not find an
other more worthy and more able to
fill this important office. Shepherds
