THE Board OF Regents has very i'm
portant duty before it in the selection OF
new president for the West Virginia
University in place OF DR.. Hodges, re-
signed. II is TO be hoped that wisdom
and broadneSS OF view may be exercised
in choosing head for this institution,
and that the choice may be made without
regard TO petty political considerations.
The University is not political institu-
ton, and the board ought to be allowed
TO select president uninfuenced by the
partisan leaders who are always so ready
to shape affairs TO political advantage.
We should deplore, too, any narrow
minded view that should require the new
president 10 be from West Virginia. If a
first class man from this State may be
found available-well and good. If not,
LEI there be no hesitation in seeking big,
broad gauge, able man from some other
section OF the country. And LET us be
liberal enough TO offer sufficient sum as
salary TO get the very best material OBJ
tainable.

THE wisdom and GOODNESS OF President
Wilson and his official family in Wash
ngton during this time OF worldwide
stress bring to the people OF this coun-
try sense OF safety and comfort. That
the President is man of peace is an as
surance that our government will not be
entangled in any way with the warfare
and strife that is filling the old world,
and for this all the people should rejoice.
The wisdom and ability of the admins
tration is shown in the prompt and eifica-
ciouS measures that are being taken for
the relief of our citizens in Europe. The
long and strong arm OF our government
has been stretched across the seas 20 ex-
tend aid TO our countrymen who have
been caught in the vortex OF foreign
troubles, and who would be in distress if
they had 10 depend upon their efforts to
escape from the difficult situations in
which they have been placed.
The ability OF the man in the White
House is splendid asset 10 the United

THE Progressive convention in Charles
ton last week resisted every inducement to
amalgamate with the Republicans and
endorse Congressman Sutherland, carry
ing out its plans regardless OF strong
pressure from within and without. ChaS.
J. Schuck, of Wheeling, was nominated
for Congressman at-large, and platform
OF the most progressive sort was adopted.
The ProgreSsiveS resent the suggestion
that they are kicking" Republicans and
declare that they are separate and dis
tinct party with fixed principles for which
they mean TO fight TO the bitter end.
They propose to maintain their organiza-
ton uninfiuenced by any other party.
Incidentally, the speakers at the conven-
ton poured hot shot into Governor Hat
field and other Republican bosses who
betrayed the ProgreSsives in 1912. For
mer Speaker OF the House James H.
Strickling presided over the convention,
which was attended by prominent men
from almost every section OF the State.

Hardly a day passes that some
new disgrace does not come home to
the Colorado National Guard, and
that General Chase and his. staff
must be removed before anything
verging on respect for the state mill
tia is restored. Under the Dick bill
a government appropriation is made
state troops each year, provided they
measure up to a prescribed standard
Two weeks ago a United States army
Inspector came to Denver to inspect

hurriedly sent to the barrooms and

to hire dummies for privates while a
count of noses was being made, in
order that the government fund could
be drawn upon Bar flies and loafers
were paid 81 each to go to the armory
on Broadway, don the militia uni

counted. Forty such recruits" were
lined up in the ranks of Battery B
when counted by the federal officer.
This week is was announced the
state troops would not hold their

LAB0R'S EXEMPTION BILL
BEING FOUGHT IN SENATE
CORPORATIONS SEEKING TO HAVE
TRUST LEGISLATION STOPPED.
Gompers Sends Warning to Labor Organ
izations of This Move, Urging That
Victory in House Be Pushed.

The House of Representatives, in com
mirtee Of the whole adopted, on Monday y
and Tuesday. June | and ?. the labor
sections of the Clayton bill, II. r. 1857
with amendments which made them sat
isfactory to labor The bill contains pro-
visions which not only guarantee the
freedom OF labor and farmers organiza-
tions from the Sherman antitrust law,
but also prevent abuses in the writ of
injunction and provide jury trials foi
alleged charges of indirect contempts.
The FIRST provision mentioned passed the
House without vote in opposition. the
other two with but one dissenting vote.
The bill now goes to the United States
Senate for action. 1t is to this fact that
the attention OF all organized labor and
friends is called.
More than likely little If any opposi-
tion 20 the labor features OF the bill will
be shown in the Senate. When the bill
comes to vote in the Senate we feel
confident that but few of the senators
will vote against the labor sections. But
some who oppose according justice to la
Dor and farmers organizations tare en-
gagged in tremendous campaign to per-
suade and to influence senators from
passing the Clayton bill. They try to
hide their real antagonism to the labor
and farmer provisions of the bill under
fcigned opposition to any trust legisla-
tion as they saw at this time
The action and policy of the National
Association OF Manufacturers and their
other allied interests must not deceive
our people and tlN United States SEN
ators.
Therefore it is the imperative duty of
every labor and farmers organization
at once. at their regular meetings. or in
meetings specially called. to adopt reso-
lutions or motions insisting that the
United States senate pass at the earliest
possible date. at the present session of
Congress and before its adjournment. the
Clayton bill. II. r. 1887.
Transmit at once such resolutions or
motions to the two United States SEN
ators from YOUR state. No matter how
friendly or sympathetic any senator may
be to this most Just measure. write him
anyway. 1t will encourage him in the
struggle for justice.
Let all officers of local. central and
organized bodies. let every
worker and every friend of labor write
letters to their respective United States
senators, urging and insisting upon the
passage OF the Clayton bill. Now, Now,
Now.
