establish its own armor-plate factory and
thus save $40 ton on the armor used

THERE have been lively dongs over
the appointment OF postmaster for Par
kersburg, this State, the past week or
two, but the difficulties seem TO have
been solved very happily-at least for
Simms Powell, who wins on the final
round. The Republican postmaster at
Parkersburg has been IN hot water for
some time past, and when it was finally
decided to assist him TO quit his job there
was an interested contest for his place.
A few days ago Senator Chiffon recon-
mended Harry E. Perkins as postmaster.
Thereupon there arose such storm OF
objection and protest that life was made
miserable for the Senator. Mr.. Perkins
did not care TO fight so much opposition,
so he relieved the situation by declining
The appointment. Then Senator Chiffon
named Mr.. Powell, who seems to be
generally acceptable and who will doubt
less be confirmed without objection-and
so Parkersburg gets Democratic post
master.
Mr.. Powell, who is a brother of Mrs.
Henry w. Potts and Misses Kate and
Sallie Powell, of this place, has friends
in Shepherdstown who will rejoice that
he has landed so fine prize.

THE people OF Pennsylvania have cause

been pat upon the statute books provid-
ing that all the candidates for State and
county offices and for Congress must
hereafter be nominated as well as elected
by direct vote OF the people. The day oil

Surely the cause of progrsssivenesS

DURING the past week there have been
sudden changes in some of the important
State offices, the causes of which have
not yet been made apparent. Virgil L,
Highland, who had been appointed re-
Gently to a position on the newly-created
Public Service Commission, resigned his
place before he had fairly taken hold.
lanes S. Lakin, who has been president
of the State Board of Control since that
body was organized, resigned this Office,
and was thereupon appointed chairman
of the Public Service Commission in place
OF Highland. Ex-Governor VIM. M. U.
Dawson was made president OF the
Board OF Control, and Lee OFT, OF Thomas,
was named by Governor Hatfield as
member OF the board to fill the vacancy
caused by the retirement of Mr.. Lakin.
The latter has resigned as chairman OF
the Republican State Executive Commit
tee. Mr.. OFT, the new member of the
Board of Control, has been general man.
ager of the mining operations in this State
controlled by the Western Maryland
Railroad. He is we'll spoken of as a
business man.
The transfer OF Mr.. Lakin TO the chair
manship OF the Public Service Commits
sion will give that body an improved
standing in the public eye. He has shown
himself to be most capable and satiSfac-
tory official as the head of the Board OF
Control, and his integrity and efficiency
has never been questioned. He viii
distinctly strengthen the new commission
to which he has been appointed.

hibiton as the eighteenth amendment TO

SENATOR OWEN, OF Oklahoma, has in
troduced in the Senate an amendment to
the rules providing that there Shall be a
limit to filibustering and dilatory tactics
in that body. His proposition is a rea-
sonable and sensible one, and it ought to
prevail. The country just now is de-
handing a new tariff law, the Democrat
ic majority stands ready to give it, and
the only thing in the way is the an
nounced determination OF certain Repub-
lican Senators to delay the measure by
long-winded speeches and dilatory tao
tics.
Senatorial courtesy has been over
worked to the limit and precedent has be-
come ridiculous. Let us have progress
and tariff reform.

THE threatened strike OF conductors
and other trainmen on the eastern rail-
roads has been ayerted by the action OF
President Wilson and the leaders in Con-
gress, it having been agreed to at once
pass the Newlands measure providing for
a national board of mediation and con-
Citation. A strike of these employ eeS
would be a fearful disaster. for this coun-
try has grown so great that it cannot al
ford to have its wheels stopped even Tor
short time. The trainmen, it seems to
us, are a bit unreasonable in their de-
mands, while the railroads, on the other
hand, are apparently not inclined to do
even Justice to all interests. Arbitration,
therefore, is the logical thing, and there
should be no real trouble when diSinter-
ested parties are called upon 10 adjust
the difficulties.
This dispute between the railroads and
their employees, incidentally, brings one
step nearer the inevitable government
control of railroads.

PETERS TO THE EDITOR.
The Senate Chaplain.

MT. Editor: The following view, taken by The Bulletin of Friday last regarding ''fzzles." is well taken:
 As a deliberative body the senate is proving a fizzle in the present general assembly. With a few exceptions it doesn't want to get beyond party pol itics.'
 And in this connection, friends of the senate chaplain were greatly shocked when they learned that he had accepted the job to pray for that body.
 They would warn him that he must not, in that connection, ask too many favors, thus putting too great a strain on the infinite kindness of a higher power," or he may be disappointed in the results of his petitions. g..
 In fact all he can reasonably ex- pect to accomplish is to lend a shadow of political virtue to the honora ble body he is supposed to safeguard from future punishment.
 There was a time, the good book tells us, when the leopard. the lion and fattings all lay down together. but that was before legislative bodies ex-

BIG STICK IN TARIFF.

With the approach of the extra ses- sion of congress for the revision of the tariff. and the accompanying as sertions that free cotton and free su- gar will be urged in the measure bear ing the sanction of the administration in advance it is rather disconcerting to be given to understand that the senators and congressman are to be driven into line upon this measure of countrywide importance, under the po- liticai whip of patronage. There are of course the blanks in the platform which was adopted al Baltimore and therein tariff for revenue only is called for, but it must be remembered that those who have been sent to congress have a duty to perform to their con- stituents.
 When the reform of the tariff is attempted ii should be attempted and accomplished upon it's merits There should be no underlying influence such as can be exerted by threatening to hold up the appointments which would naturally come within the jurisdiction of the senators and congressman. who in justice to their district might have a different opinion. or an opinion of their own as to how certain schedules in the bill should be treated. Tariff slashing can be accomplished without any regard to reason or a justified ba- sis for action. or 1t can be sanely and scientifically done. There are sched- ules of more importance to certain sections than to others. This deserves proper consideration and It is to be hoped that the democratic represen- tatives from New England will have the courage to stand by the require ments of this part of the country and with inc same determination as the senator from Louisiana who has noti- fed the president that he will op- pose free sugar. It remains to be seen whether the big stick or the needs of the country win out

MUST RESTORE CONFIDENCE.

The harm which the New York po- lice force has done to Itself is re- ffected in the doubt which it IS pos sible to raise against the truthfulness of the confession which has been given out as coming from Henry J. Kiotz, the young clerk and bombmaker on his deathbed. There is nothing to sub stantiate the claim that the confession is not true. That his family knew nothing of his actions and did not sus- pect that his active interest concern ing combustib exceeded the matter of experimentation proves nothing.
 Though there is no definite founda- tion for doubting the confession the New York Times observes that the fact that there are doubts is shame fully significant. People are willing to suspect that the police of New York have become so hardened and corrupt that they might conspire> to accuse a dead man of crimes so as to relieve themselves of the charge of incom- petence in hunting down criminals We do not believe that this is true, we are willing to accept the KIotz con- fessiCn as genuine. but the need of 8 thorough reform of the police de- partment before it can regain the con- fidence of the public for whose pro- lection it exists was never more clear ly indicated"
 Whatever the attempt to disp~ove the confession amounts to the New York police force is operating under cloud of distrust. It must make "a dical inprove ement to regain the con- fidence which has been lost.

]. PlERRoNr MORGAN.

By the death of J. PierpOnt Morgan there passes one of the greatest men of the country, because of the lead ership which he held in the field of finance. The condition of his health was such that the end was no surprise and he was undoubtedly in a more serious condition when he left this country than 1t was realized.
 Tn his chosen line Mir. Morgan was 8 success. He had gone to the top in a line of effort where great difficulties are encountered. He gained the power and the position he held through the careful and persistent study which he made of it and it was this which for tified him for the commander. that he was. As the king of finance he pos sessed great power, all of which he realized. It was within his power to make or to break. He had the control which could cheek panic and there was no financial problem too big or intricate for him to solve. It was the control of such vast power in private hands which operated so greatly to the making of public sentiment op- posed to it. though the greatness and the strength of Mir. Morgan could not fail of recognition. He was master at organization and his fame is achieved in that with which he was familiar. Tn another line he might have been a failure.
 Of his financial operations Mir. Nor gan made 8 hobby which he could not re1inauish though in art and lit erature he was also deeply interested The bringing to an end of such an influence had long been feared for the effect 1t would have in financial cir c1es. MT. Morgan too well understood such a possibility not to have pro- vided against it. His business will go on under the guidance of those whom he has taught. It is but another i'm stance of how great and yet how small we individually are.
