MOUNTAIN CLIMBING.

Last year 1873 Alpine climbers were
Killed. and ola injured This is a larg
er toll of death and wounded than in
many a Mexican battle
In the character of its victims and
in their value TO the world at large
Alpine climbing imposes its heaviest
charge Most OF the men and women
who engage in this dangerous pursuit
are persons OF education and superior
attachments. They have courage and
supreme desire to excel. lt IS pity
that the self-sacrifice and daring which
lead men and women TO bangle over
dizzy precipices and cut hand holes
in sheer cliffs. To dare abysses. and
tread paths that regularly demand
their toll OF life and limb. could not be
directed 10 something more valuable
and enduring than the mere ascent O.
a mountain peak. However. the fact
that thousands OF persons yearly IN.
dertake these risks is a splendid indi
cation OF virility of the race.
When We cease to produce Arctic
explorers. mountain climbers. naylgo

come too old and conservative 20 al

begun.

THE REPUBLICAN PROGRESSIVE
PARTY

BY a narrow margin the Republican
conference of the State OF New York
declared In favor OF the Statewide pri-
maries for the nomination OF all Re
publican candidates TO State Offices.
in this action the Republicans place
themselves distinctly on the level with
the progressive thought OF the country
at large Two years ago the Republi-
cans OF West Virginia took similar
action. and the primary held in this
State in 1912 for the FIRST time nomi-
mated all State officers by a direct pop
ular vote.
10 may be worth while to know that
while the Republicans OF West Vir-
ginia were taking this action. the op-
posing party chung 10 the old mass
convention delegate system. a system
which so easily lends itself TO the con
troll OF political bosses and TO the ere.
alton OF a political machine. In prac-
tically every State in the Union in
which advanced ground has been taken
by one party or the other in the mat
ter OF primaries. the Republican party
has been the leader. That is the case
IN New York today. as II was the case
in West Virginia two years ago. The
Republican party in West Virginia has
consistently favored adequate primary
election legislation. Through three
sessions OF the Legislature its repre-
sentatives have consistently favored
comprehensive primary election laws.
and in its own practice 1t has given
the widest and freest expression OF
the popular will in the election Of can
didates. The Republican party Is now.
as It has been. distinctly the progress
sive party in the United States. and
st is as fairly responsive TO the dc.
mands OF popular thought in West viz
ginia as in any other State in the
Union.

everyone seemed to enjoy a good

which was furnished by the gentle

While at Rockland the sheriff
