THE AUTO IN THE FIELD.

1t is quite a common sight in West
Virginia to see farmers drive to the
harvest field in automobiles. 1t takes
la solemn sum of money to buy an
automobile and it takes good roads as
well as gasoline to run them.
A JOY ride in the harvest fields OF
this state is one of the most exhiliar-
ating experiences that is available or
this continent and one that would
charm tourist and convince home
seeker. A speedway lined with grow
ing crops and blooded stock is land
scape that one seldom tours in life
time. In mapping out automobile
routes the West Virginia harvest fields
should be given prominent position

Hopes of Standpats
Is Like The Summer

President Wilson IN his task of carry
ing out the pledges endorsed at the
polls by the American people.
And then two years later, these
same voters will clear the state house
of the faces it has known so long.
The Randolph Review is one Of the
newspapers of the state that sees
things as they are. Here, for exam
pie, is what it has to say to the stand
patters about the return of the Pro-
gresives Ito the fold"-when there
is no fold.
in West Virginia Republican lead
ers have spent much time trying to
persuade progressives to return to the
fold.
"In making such plea the Review
believes that those who have shown
so much concern in trying to force
amalgamation have overlooked one
very important fact and that is that
the Progressive party is really the
lOluy lOl tliC AlOSlcSoiNC party PoAtSN
10000 votes in West Virginia in
1912 and the Republicans only $4,000.
"Why then, should the Progresives
return to the fold?
why should party which polled
$4,000 votes more than another party
yield up its ghost merely to prolong
the terms of Office Of certain self
seeking politicians?
1t took the standpatters long time
to understand that the Progressive
party was really party, and that as
such it had no intention of doing any
fool thing to aid another party Its
leaders in the state are men of sense
They have been through the mill"
they are not the sort who will COM
nit political hari kari
No Progressive who returns to the
little bunch that constitutes the rem
nant of the once great Republican
party will have part in the"party''
government The standpat bunch is
not built that way 1t is the rule of
the few In the Progressive rank and
file they have their voice in the party
management, and there is no room for
the boss. The Progressive who now
goes back is lost.
But going back to the state admin
istration. John S. Darst, auditor of
West Virginia, recent wrote to a
Virginia editor in defense Of the pro-
hibition. The point he made was that
while the state tax rate in West Vir-
ginia had been increased from one
cent to six cents on theS100 valua-
ton, the increase is not the result of
prohibition. This statement from a
state official is significant. If the
I ten-fold increase of the state tax is
not the result Of prohibition-and it
is agreed wi4hsDarst that no man be-
lieves that it is--then it is the result
of something else. What that some
thing else may be it is to the inter
est of the voters to find out Let
him ask himself these questions.
Why does it cost ten times as much
to run the state of West Virginia as
it cost two or three years ago? Why
with the criminal expenses of the
state decreased by the going out of
the saloon, should the civil expense
of the state increase 900 per cent
And who, if none but standpaters
are in power, is responsible for such
increase?
These are few of the many ques-
lions that will be answered in two
early Novembers-the one in 1914
and the other in the good year '16.
