TOM RHEA HAS PROVEN FRIEND

Their Just Proportion Of Taxes and is Best Quail

No man has had more to do with
this great work than Tom Rhea, and
no man now seeking a nomination
for a state Office is better prepared
than he to render useful and valus-
Bile service to the state and to the
people in the next four years. No
other man seeking this office has
ever had the slightest experience
with its duties. Some of his ene-
mics, at the beginning of this cam
paign. undertook to criticise him and
his record as an official, but they had
to quickly abandon such attacks, be-
cause the published facts clearly
disproved their misrepresentation.
In the next administration, Mr..
Rhea would prove himself a tower
of strength to the state in the con-
duct of its revenues and fiscal affairs.
AS Democrat and party worker,
there is not blot upon his record.
Four years ago, when he was on the
state ticket as the nominee for
Treasurer. he added great strength
to the ticket as was shown by the
increased majority of $500 given in
his judicial district alone. Last fall,
in the Senatorial and Congressional
races, he was chosen by the Demo-
cratic S ate Committee as Chairman
and under his intelligent and success
full management and organization.
the Democratic majority in the state
was increased to 1900.

the party and its nominees. He has

1T PAYS TO ADVERTISE.

The West Virginian is a firm be-
lever in the old saying: 1T Pays to
Advertise" The paper believes that
It pays the merchant to advertise in
The West vtrginian, and it pays the
paper to advertise itself. 1t is the
business of every newspaper to keep
itself before the public in every posi-
BILE manner, because the papers sue
cess depends upon the reading public.
A paper does not advertise its wares
conspicuously for the simple sake of
seeing the name OF the paper in public
places, but because experience has
taught that such methods of keeping
the paper in the limelight bring re-
suits. and good results. It is in this
spirit that The West Virginian has
caused to be erected on the top of the
building a beautiful electric sign Of
great size, telling the truth in bold
letters that "The West virginian Is
the Paper That Goes Home and That
1t Is the Peoples Paper" The new
sign is visible from all parts OF the
city. Give It look tonight!

HOT WAVE.

Old Sol seems to be out for new
ltscords this year. The last two days
have been the warmest for this time
OF year that have been experienced
tn Fatrmont for long time. Sunday
WAS irregular midsummer day. as far
10 heat was concerned, and yesterday
was not much cooler. The warm spell,
or rather we should say hot wave. is
not local by any means. From all
parts OF the country have come re-
ports OF unusually hot weather All
heat records for April were broken in
Philadelphia on Sunday, several pros
trattcns resulting from the high tenn
perature.
A It Is to be hoped that the heat
records that must be broken will be
broken this month, rather than in
mid summer, when the mercury goes
plenty high enough without exceeding
my former marks.
with the coming of the warm
weather, the "Swat the Fly Cam
paign" will be started in earnest

the year when Barnes qnarreiIed with
the colonel over the boBsing Of the
Republican state convention. a job
which the colonel succeeded in seiz-
ing. That was the year that the
colonel appointed Our Harry as the
Republican candidate for governor, to
the great. benefit and profit OF that
eminent authority on the law OF con-
tracts, the Hon. Charles F. Murphy.
Nevertheless, in spite of this break in
the intimate political relations Of
twelve years, the light held out to
burn and the vflest sinner might have
returned IL he had had a spark OF the
saving grace. But then came 1911.
That was the year that Barnes un-
reservedly cast in his political for
tunes with William H. Taft and began
preparations to bump the third term.
Barnes might have been saSed II he
had not committed this ultimate sin.

from boss into leader, even as

WASHINGTON NEWS GOSSIP

1t is believed by Republicans of
prominence here that this plan of
West Virginia for an uninstructed
delegation will be followed in many
states which are not hampered by
faVor1te son" or tied up with the
primary law. The best Judgment IS
that majority OF the delegates will
go to the convention unshackled by
definite instructions and bound only
by the general principle of selecting
man who will appeal to the confidence
OF industrial and business interests.
1t is fact, frequently commented
upon, that al of the candidates of
likely caliber conform to this require
ment.
In several states the combination OF
tavortte son and presidential primary
promises to be embarrassing. Ohio is
an acute instance. The delegates will
be chosen by primaries and the voters
will be called on to decide between
instructing for Herrick, Burton, Gov
ernor Willis and Senator Harding. In
Illinois the voters must choose be-
! tween Representative Mann, Senator
Sherman and Representative William
B. Mckinley.
This situation is expected to clarity
itself by the presentation Of oppor-
tunity for shifting OF positions and
much trading. 1t is said that the Fair.
banks people are already counting o.
benefitting by the divided household
in Illinois. Being next door neighbor
and granted that the sentiment of the
state was divided among the three
native sons. Mckinley, Sherman and
Mann, the Fairbanks folk are already
planning to annex Illinois to their
boom. The same hope is entertained
as to Ohio, growing out of a similar
situation.
One feature OF the impeding presi-
dental campaign which is the source
OF frequent note and discussion is the
complete absence of any potential in
fluence, personal or factional, sought
to be brought to bear upon the selec-
ton OF the candidate-that is to say,
no group OF managers are liable to
have overweening effect upon the out
come. The movement in behalf Of
nominating a man acceptable to bust
ness and industry Is universal and
not the asset of any particular candi-
date thus far named
The point Is that there is no or
ganization OF money or managers
large enough to attempt to swing the
entire country for one man. There is
even lacing the old familiar tactics so
often invoked at this stage of the pro,
ceedings of rounding up the southern
delegates.
Right there 1t may be added. the
politicians think that the southern
delegates to the next convention will
be found mighty hard to corral in adj
vance.
The prospect of an open convention
Is said to be highly pleasing to that
element, in the party which. in some
previous conventions and preliminary
canvasses, has been the object of
eager bidding by rival factions. 1t is
prophesied by the politicians thai
there will be a large crop of unin-
structed delegates from the south in
the next convention.

Editorial Comments
on Current Subjects
MR.. DANIELS ON NAVY.

Secretary Daniels presents a pratify-
ing account of the present condition of
the United States navy in his letter to
Harry A. Garfield. Statistics of the
recent growth of the navy have not
hitherto been presented in form so
Ineligible to the plain citizen. We
now know, beyond peradventure, that
there are SO more war vessels fully
commissioned than there were when
Daniels became secretary That the
navy is recruited to the maximum
strength allowed. we already know,
and the increase OF IL per cent in the
number of men within IS months is
creditable to the department. The
secretary's statement of the increased
efficiency of the navy will be accepted
generally as reassuring. The matter
which concerns the country is the
present condition of the navy. The
question is generally asked. is 1t what
it should be Mr.. Daniels's statistics
indicate that it Is surely in the way OF
becoming so, and the Information is
welcome.-New York Times.

American people the danger which

equal rights in all the great water

the Panama canal as among the water

elusive military control of any one
