The Presidents Great SOr-
row.

The sad news has reached the
people of the United States that
after bearing up under. strain
of official duties, such as few OF
the nations Chiefs have been
subjected to, the President now
faces the supreme trial of a life
replete will, noble deeds.
His loyal helpmate is reported
in extreri1is,
Beset with problems epoch
making in their Importance, it IS
typical Of the man, that with a
breaking heart, he stthdued the
d 5ony Of his personal affection
long enough to indite from his
wife'S bedside, an offer of media
ton to Europe's war-racked gov
eminent.
Whatever may be the issue,
the heart of the whole people goes
out to the President today, and
the prayers that the life of the
noble woman who has shared his
joys and sorrows and helped, he
alone knows how much, in the
career now dedicated to the ma
ton, may be spared to him.

War.

Just one hundred years since
the battle of Waterloo was fought
urope again is embroiled
in war-by the deliberate act of
Germany's war-mad Emperor.
That his fate be that of Napo-
Icons, would be a fitting punish
ment for his crime agrinst civili-
cation.
Effective as its war organiza-
ton may be, with Russia hem.
ming her in on one side and
France on the other. with Eng
land driving her fleets from the.
seas, Germany may find herself
isolated and cut off from sources
of food supply, with hostile So
cialist element to contend with at
home.
Without Germany's promise of
support, Austria would never
have undertaken to punish her
weak neighbor for the mad act
of Servian youth in assassinat-
ing the puppet king who had
been placed on his throne as an
episode of the Balkan upheaval.
Blood is thicker than water.
The racial antagonism of Star
and Fenton largely under1ies the
reasons, or rather excuses, adj
vanced for the declaration of war.
Big Russia declines to stand SUI
premely by and see her little Star
brother unfairly punished
England, after exhausting ev-
cry effort for the maintenance of
peace, now faces the crisis with
courage and confdence-her tenn
porary internal differences patri-
otically sunk. for the time, in the
face of a national peril.
The effect on the United States
will be minimized by the wise
and effective policy President
Wilson has inaugurated, and if
his offer Of mediation is accepted,
=
the prestige of the country will
be UNNECESSARILY increased.
That in this twentieth century
nations calling themselves Chris
tian should resort to the murder
Gus methods of the Dark Ages,
stagge rs those who have hoped
that the era of Peace and Good
Will was in sight.

included in the report of Mr.. Cooper.

There are persistent rumors in Wash.
ington to the effect that it is the in
rention of the President to appoint At
torney General McReynolds to fill the
vacancy on the Supreme Court caused
by the death of Justice Lurton, and to
appoint John W. Davis, of Clarksburg,
to succeed the Attorney General. Mr..
Davis is now Solicitor General Of the
United States. and recent statement
issued from the Department of Justice
gave him credit for the tenviable rec
orc" ofthe Demartment during the first
year under Attorney General Mercy
Mods. Mr.. Davis and Mrs Davis were
in Europe when the war excitement
started and are now reported to be has
tening home on British steamer due
to arrive in New York this week.
Congressman Nicely has introduced a
bill in the House Of Representatives
which is intended to give impetus to
road building throughout the country,
and especially in West Virginia. The
bill provides that the federal prisoners
sentenced to more than five years I'm
prisonment may be worked OH the
roads in any State or, county where
they are imprisoned. 1t also provides
that all federal prisoners regardless of
the lene tn of their sentences. may be
worked in the preparation of road ma
terial, the.same to be used on the max
ing of roads only and not sold. This
bill. if it is passed, will give West Vir-
GINA the benefit Of the work of feder-
| al prisoners on any road that is used
for carrying the mail. and would start
an era of road building which should
change the character of the State
roads entirely.

Washington Letter.
From Geo. w. Summers. J


Washington, August th.-The battle
for supremacy in the Republican party
in West Virginia is on and it is being
largely fought out at the present time
in the Second District, where Bepub-
lican candidate for Congressman will
be nominated at Elkins on August IL
Senator Golf, who suddenly developed
an interest in West Virginia politics
and brought about the nomination last
week Of George e. White for Congress-
man from the first district, is backing
Taylor George, for the Republican NOM
ination in the Second District. Sena-
tor Golf is said to have felt under OBJ.
legations to White and George because,
as he says, George made it possible for
him to go to the Senate. while White
voted for HIM many times before the
final turn in affairs came about which
landed Judge Golf in the Senate. 1t
looks ike an effort to build up Golf
machine in West Virginia, with Golf
trying to control the conventions and
select their nominees. Ofcourse, Gov
ernor Hatfield, who was hurt more by
the election Of Golf to the Senate than
anyone elsesin the State, does not SYM
pathize with the Golf program and may
be counted on TO prevent any one but
himself from becoming the Republican
leader in West Va Davis Elkins, Isaac
T. Mann and William Seymour Edwards
who were defeated for the Senator
ship by Judge Golf, have no desire to
assist IN making him the State leader.
and can be counted upon to try and
prevent the realization of his ambitions.
The trouble with Hatfield is that he
has no one to go to in the effort to de-
feat Golf s. plan, unless he goes to
| George Bowers, the Davis Elkins can
didate, and that would mean taking
orders from Elkins. This may come
about in the strange situation which
has developed in the Second District.
Howard Sutherland is understood to
have made an agreement to try and
have Noah G. Keim. Progressive nomi-
nee for Congressman, endorsed by the
Second District Republican convention
| at EIkins in consideration for the eff
forts of Keim to have Sutherland en-
dorsed by the Progressive State Con-
| vention at Charleston But as the
Progressive State convention ignored
Sutherland. it seems improbable that
Sutherland will try very hard to have
Keim endorsed at EIkins.
Many of the candidates for nomina-
tion for Congressman on several tickets
are in danger of prosecution for viola
ton of the federal law requiring all
| candidates to file with the clerk of the
House of Representatives statements
of their campaign expenses. It is said
District Attorneys will take the mat
ter up with grand iuries this fall and
have violations Investigated. The PEN
atty for failure to file such statements
is not to exceed one year in Jail or q
| fine of not to exceed $1,000. or both.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Sanguine Sentiment Continues Unabated and
Zero Temperatures Accelerate the Distribu-
tion of Seasonable Merchandise.

New York, Feb. 13.-Dun's weekly re-
view tomorrow will say:
Distribution of seasonable merchandise
has been stimulated by zero Temperatures
which shave accelerated the movement Of
heavyweight apparel and fuel. Recent
stormy weather also broadened the de-
mand for footwear and the general BUSH
ness situation reflects gradual betterment
That conditions in copper are improving
is indicated by the January statistics,
which instead of slowing the expected
accumulation of surplus stocks. actually
revealed a material reduction In sup
plies.
Returns of bank clearings are some
what less favorable than heretofore
there being decreases of rs and 80 per
cent, respectively, as compared with the
two years Immediately preceding. whine
gross railroad earnings In January were
IS below those of 1913.
There are accommodating evidences Of
Improvement in iron and steal. and the
price situation shows increasing strength.
The current demand against specifica-
tions is charging, while future business
is being placed with greater freedom.
Hesitation in the placing Of future
contracts for cotton goods is manifest,
owing to the fact that firmness in the
raw material at the South is not re-
fiected fully on the exchanges It is con-
ceded generally that the present crop
is of low grade and cotton of the better
type commands q premium
Persistent selling OF cotton at the out
set brought lower range of values, but
some recovery occurred later on. The
movement Of the crop continues large and
sentiment is rather bearish."
The Washington herald., 1914-02-14

New York, Feb. 1s.-Bradstreet's tomor-
row will say:
There has been a shifting of activities
IN trade and industry, but no apparent
abatement of the sanguine sentiment
hitherto in evidence. Activity has been
noticeable chiefly in the larger primary
markets, where good reports as to past
business have been and are being con-
hrmed, and in the ranks of final distribute
ers, who have felt the beneficial effects
Of a full week Of cold weather upon re-
tail trade in heavy wearing apparel. In
iron and steel and in cotton and wooden
manufacturing, the effects of good Janu-
airy ordering are visible in larger OUT
puts and increased capacity employed.
Lines returning best reports as to ca
pacity employed are iron and steel and
textile mills. In these the percentages
vary from 20 per cent to a normal par,
the reports Of past active demand for
raw wool are confirmed in the reports of
enlarged capacity in mills working ON
spring and fall mems and women, wear
In financial market something like n
readJustment Of activities also is appar-
ent. Quieter dealings and some reactions
in prices are In evidence in the markets
for securities. Good bonds are in more
favor.
Money is still easing.
In building lines curious cross cur
rents are visible. Something very like a
slump In January permits and estimated
expenditures is shown by this weeks re
port. but Pacific Coast lumber manufac-
turers report more inquiry, and some
mills are resuming. Hardware, farm i'm.
Elements and tool manufactures also note
more doing as the year advances.
