gressive leaders is almost wholly con-
fined to West Virginia. Last week the
Progressiyes united with the Republic

recently over one hundred active
members of the Progressive move
ment in Indiana, the home state OF the
militant Beveridge, met with the
chairman and secretary of the Repub-
lican state committee, and announced
their intention of voting and working
for the Republican ticket. These men
represented every congressional dis

Heading the University,

the Parkersburg State Journal
does not practice what it breaches.
1t still hugs the delusion that some
high priced and nationally famous
university president should be en-
gagged to take Thomas E. Hodges
place as president of the West Vir-
ginia University, and scouts the sug-
gestions by the Telegram and the
Morgantown Chronicle that
such men as President Hadley, OF
Yale; President Lowell, of Harvard;
President Butler, Of Columbia; or
President Schurman, of Cornell,
could not for several obvious reasons
give up their present jobs and go to
Morgantown.
The reason these men, or others
of like caliber. can not be engaged
for the West Virginia University is
the same reason that some such fell
low as George Horace Lorimer. Ar
thur Brisbane. Lyman Abbott. Henry
Waterson, Albert Shaw, George Har-
vey, Frank A. Munsey, John Temple
Graves, Hamilton Wright Mabie,
John S. Phillips or Norman Hapgood
he's not been hired to gosto Parkers-
burg and edit the Parkersburg State
Journal.
When the Parkersburg State Jour
nal finishes its aeroplane fight and
once more. strikes terra f1rma it will
probably discover that it would take
a great deal more than the mere
name ora single man to put the
West Virginia University in the same
rank with Columbia. Wisconsin OF
Chicago.
The State Journal is very ill-man-
nered anu senseless to- declare that
the Telegram is an enemy OF the
West Virginia University as this
newspaper is one of its staunchest
friends and hopes to see it made big
ger and better but wants it done
with some regard to common sense
and existing circumstances.

One hundred and twenty-four
years ago today George Wash
ington signed the Congressional
Act which blished the
United States Revenue Cutter
Service. 1t thus became the
first maritime force OF the
American republic. Fifteen
months later there were ten
revenue cutters afioat, oficered
by veterans OF the old Cont
mental navy. These vessels con
stituted the only armed force
afioat belonging to the United
States for the following six
years. Their duties were to pa
troll the coast, extending in those
days from Maine to'iGeorgia. to
prevent smuggling. and to n
force the few maritime laws ex-
isting in the United States.
Organized under the Treasury
Department. it remained in the
discretion of the president to
send them to war under the
navy. Fighting French priva-
teers in 1898, the revenue cut
tiers captured eighteen Of the
twenty-five prizes taken by the
United States. In the War of
1912 they captured the first
prize ship, and fought CALAMITY

cutters accompanied the naval

A Do,,btfpl Scheme.

President Wilson's scheme to get
the shipping trade of the world IN
der the American flag during the
progress of the general European war
IS not only secuted as chimerical but
also provides lesson in regard to
the upbuilding of an American mer-
chant marine. 1t is pointed out that
Wilson's scheme would involve the
United States in serious trouble, as nc
nation, not actually at war would re-
gard 1t as effective, even If the Con-
gress took formal action in the mat
ter.
For example, England would still
look upon the Vaterland as German
and the Mauretania as British, even
If both were under the American
flag, and the ships would be treated
as property Of the enemy, the as
sumption of neutrality being regard
ed as entirely fictitious and the final
settlement of the cases Of the cap
tured ships would be left for the
prize court or an international court.
The registration Of vessels actually
under a foreign flag is slow and diff
cult and cannot be made hurriedly as
a subterfuge just before war. OF
course, if the period is shortened as
is indicated, the results aimed at
might be achieved, yet there would
still remain the hazard that the bel
ligerent European nations may no,
regard the act as altogether morally
correct and Just. The situation,
however, reminds one very much OF
the old saying about locking the barn
door after the horse has been stolen.

Good Motor Rules,

The Telegram hastens to aid in
the spread Of propaganda that Is
one Of the most sensible yet hit upon
for a betterment of conditions in
motor traffic. The Safety First Soci-
ETY., of New York City, is the promul-
gator and it has been issuing direct
appeal to drivers Of motor vehicles.
on a printed card, which contains
some practical, common sense pre-
cautions that could be observed by
all motorists who value their own
welfare as we'll as the welfare OF
other users of the streets and high
ways. Here is copy of the card,
which has the very appropriate head
ing of "Carefulness First Means
Safety Always:
/. Be considerate.
2. Go slow
Passing children.
Passing vehicles.
Around corners,
Approaching crossings.
8. Stop
At railroad crossing.
Behind street cars taking on or
discharging passengers.
4. Use tire chains on wet and
slippery pavements.
. Better be safe than sorry.
Unfortunately, there are many OPP
orators OF automobiles who throw
care to the winds and drive with
reckless abandon. They not only court
disaster for themselves and all other
road users, but they bring discredit
to all drivers and owners of motor
cars and are breeding hostile public

NOW

Today ferty-three armed cut
tiers, tugs and launches, manned
by 1928 officers and enlisted
men, are securing the seas as
Uncle Sans "watchdogs Of the
sea-" The majority are station
ed along the coast OF the United
States ready to steam where
duty calls. One may be going
to sea to blow up a derelict that
has become dangerous to naviga-
ton; another searching a ship
for smuggled goods or examin-
ing her sailing papers; while a
third may be on the way to sup
press mutiny or piracy, or to en-
force neutrality laws of Ameri-
can ports. The revenue cutter
officer is empowered to enforce
nearly every law bearing upon
the maritime interests. They
protect the seal fisheries of
Alaska. and patrol the coast in
search of vessels in distress dur
ing the winter months. Under
a recent regulation they patrol

tanic. They enforce quarantine
regulations; they patrolled the
coasts Of four southern states
which were suffering under an
epidemic OF yellow feverin 1905.
They penetrated to the Arctic
regions to bring succor to
stranded whaling ships. 1t was
in 1879 that cutter raced
through a thousand miles of ice
packs to rescue whalers frozen
in at Point Barrow before they
starved to death. For this eX-
plot Congress passed a resolu-
ton of thanks.

Our Next Congressman.

The Republicans have selected
candidate for Congress in this district
who will, in our opinion, make one of
the hardest fights for his election ever
made in the state. George E. White,
while young man, has had the Aegis-
lative experience of serving his dis
trict in the state senate and is no
novice in the way of considering legis-
lation for his constituents. His age
cannot we'll be urged against him

Nine Carloads of Material Ar
rive Last Friday; Office
at Imperial Hotel.

Nine carloads of material arrived
here last Friday evening over the High
Line to be used by the Western Union
Telegraph company in the construction
of their line from Lewiston to Grange
vile. A large force of workmen have
been at work in the city since the
middle of last week stringing wires and
making needed connections. The rail-
road poles will be used for the service.
The company will establish an up
town office. The west room at the
Imperial Hotel, with a Main street front
has been secured for that purpose, and
II. Hesterman now has the room almost
ready for occupancy, a partition haV-
ing been placed across the room, leav-
ing a front lobby for public occupancy.
1t is now stated that the line will be
completed and the office opened READY
for business by the 10th of July. This
win be good news. 1t is now stated
that Grangeville will be favored with
the only up town office on the line
outside of Lewiston.

SECOND.

Our ball team which journeyed to Nez-

second in their bout with the Nez-

to 4. The boys received fine treat
ment at the hands of the management
and the ball players, but felt that they
were given the raw edge by His Umps.
However, there are no sore spots. The
boys simply know they put up a good

more than they got.

iah on Saturday and also the champion
