A New LEASE.

The Belington Progressive has
taken on new lease of life and
comes to us with Charles Lee
Weymouth as editor and manager
and the best of it is that the pa
per now carries Democracy at the
masthead and the motto Demo
cratic in Politics, Progressive in
all things. The paper is the
same size as the Enterprise six
columns and eight pages and full
of reading matter. Mr.. Wey-
mouth was formerly editor and

We have been asked by quite a
number Of our Republican breth-
rem why it was that the Barbour
Democrat failed to mention the
name of the nominee Of the Sen
atorial convention, held at Phil
lippi recently, and we regret ex-
ceeding that we are not able to
inform them and furthermore we
don't believe that we should be
required to apologize for the
Democrat, who had a notice last
week, calling attention to the fact
that a convention had been held
the sweek before. PROBABLY it
was an oversight on the part of
Brother Polling.

NEEDS A WILSON,

Millions of men are about to be
swallowed up in the yortax Of horri-
BILE war, because Eurobe is without
a Woodrow Wilson with the wis
dom and firmness to avert it.
All Europe is plunging into war
with no man or set Of men strong
enough or wise enough to stop the
sanguinary stampede.
America, under the benign assur-
ance of peace procured througd the
wisdom and persistence Of President
Wilson, will begin an era Of unpar-
alleled prosperity.
The United State has earned the
respect and confidence Of the whole
world end the embassies of the bell
igerent nations on both sides of the
pending conflict will entrust their
safety to the United States diploma
tic service.
Never in its history did the United
States stand SO high in the esteem
Of its sister republics on the Western
Hemisphere, and never was our
Government so honored and trusted
by he nations Of Europe.

In view of Senator Penrose's
theory of the complete prostra-
ton of industry in Pennsylvania,
how does he explain the fact that
the building operations authoriz-
ed in Philadelphia during July ex-
ceeded in value those of any pre-
vious July in the past ten years?
This clearly shows that under a
Democratic administration there
is greater activity in the building
trades than in the halcyon days
of Roosevelt and Taft.

vINDICATION OF PRESIDENT.

Now that practically all Europe
has been plunged into war over
a preteXt that must be consider
ed trifling indeed absolutely con-
temptible in view of the untold
human misery inyolved-it is to
be hoped that fair minded Amer
leans will begin to estimate more
at their true value the wisdom
and justice of tn a policy of
watchful waiting which has prov
ed SO successful.in President Will
sons handling of the Mexican
question. The United States has
far more provocation for inter-
vention in Mexico than Austria
Hungary has for it's truculent at
titude toward Servia. Huerta
proved himself a peculiarly ex-
asperating person, with much
more ability and greater COM
mand of resources than were at
first credited to him, and there
can be no doubt that war of in
vasion, and possibly even of per-
manent occupation, would have
proved popular with a large part
of the American public. After
the landing at Vera Cruz nothing
would have been easier than to
find pretext for such a warlike
policy.
1t is infinitely to the credit of
President Wilson and his advisers
that Notwithstanding the sneers
and jeers of the empty-headed,
the malevolent and the selfish in
terests that desired to exploit
Mexico for the benefit of their
own pockets, he refused to take
advantage of the weakness of a
sister republic, but adhered firm
ly to a line of action that was
high-minded and patriotic. Con-
trasted with the bullying arrog-
ance of Austria Hungary, which
has set all Europe afame, the
Presidents course has shown the
highest craftsmanship, and his
country has benefited immensely
by his patience and tact. This
fact is now generally recognized
by intelligent Republicans. The
Boston Herald, a loyal standpat
organ, after praising the Presi-
dent for resisting the clamor to
attack Mexico and comparing his
course with that of the authori-
ties in Vienna under less provo
cation, SAYS:
but the President exercised a
staying and a steadying hand.
We did not go in. We have saved
ourselves the horrors of war, and
the long legacy of hate through
