LeyeI-Headed Taft.

1t is a simple matter for a strong
nation to invade the territory of a
weak che be the pretense what it
may 1t is often difficult matter
for the strong nation to Withdraw
afterward.
That is the reason why Americans
have been unwilling during all these
months that the administration at
Washington should send troops into
Mexico. They could not forget how
easy it was to put up the flag at
Manila and what complications are
threatened now that it is suggested
that tina flag be hauled down.
So far, apparently, Mr.. Taft has
done exactly right in reference to
the Mexican situation. A lingo in
the White House would have had
this government embroiled in ar
Ears South Of the Rio Grande
months ago. 1t takes level-headed
craftsmanship to know when to- say
no.
American lives and property must
be protected$ The Mexican govern
ment will be held responsible for
them, and the United States is cap
able and willing to see that the OBJ
legation is met. That is part of. the
policing nation which this nation
has been assigned by common GOA
sent of the powers of four conti-
hepts. ~
In order to be near enough at
hand to enforce this obligation it is
necessary that the United States
shall have Dattleships and fighting
men in or near the Mexican waters.
This is virtually what the Taft ad-
mlnistratlon has set out to do.
AS for taking possession OF the
country, however, experience and
common sense unite to enjoin eau
ton, as the Cleveland PlaindeaIer
says.

To Have Good Roads is Sug..
gested in An Article
Here Published.
(contrlbuted.)

The writer, having Travelled over al
most every road in this state, feels
that he should say something regard
ing the good road movement.
! have noticed many articles in pa
pers of this section. during the last
year favoring the good roads move-
ment. Some written by the automo-
bile association, some by the board
of trade of our own town and our
neighboring towns, also by indiyid-
.uals, but in none of them have l ever
seen plan suggested to give US what
was desired along this line.
Now as our legislature has taken
some steps to improve our roads and
propose to work the convicts for this
purpose and the national government
has made appropriation to build an
ocean-to-ocean highway to span the
country from New York to San Fran
cisco, also from Washington, D. c., to
the Gulf of Mexico and the manufac-
turers of automobiles are appropriat-
ing large sums for the purpose of road
building.
Why not fall on some plan to i'm
prove the roads in West Virginia?
Nothing can be done without we'll
organized plan to start with. To fix
up few miles in each district every
year would be very poor way to
start. 1t would be like the street paw
ing in Clarksburg-before the outside
parts or districts could be reached the
work first done would be worn out
and have to be done over again.
The plan would suggest would be
to get our main thoroughfare put in
good condition running !, entirely
through the state. f

lated upon having his public career

such as to entitle him to this further
honor. And Clarksburg is to be
congratulated upon being able to

The unanimity with which Repub-
lican and Progressive newspapers
approve the, election of Senator Con
and admissions on the part of the
Democratic press that the legina
ture acted wisely and we'll for the
state in choosing him hold out no
such hope as few Democratic par
tisans have expressed that Senator
Goff will widen the breach in the
Republican and Progressive parties.
To the contrary everything indicates
that he will unite them.

AS gentle reminder it may be
stated that the Telegram was the
o. ginal supporter of the movement
that finally resulted in the election
of Judge Con to the federal sena-

perslstently ADVOCATED the Judge for
the position that several times he
was half way "sore" at tbs news
paper. The kilograms position,
however, was patriotic throughout.
