had the call in speculation. His ma
jority last year was large, and his
opportunities to make reputation in
Office numerous. He looked like the
favorite son. There was no talk of
anybody else.
But he is not as strong now as
when he went to Albany. He shares
in some Of the criticism provoked by
the legislature. Republican bicker-
ings have set up over both legislation
and patronage, and the record as a
whole has been Disappointing
1t is this situation which has pro-
duced the Root boom. Mr.. Root
himself is not among the critics. He
has been giving attention to the
work awaiting the constitutional
convention, now organized and soon
to begin its labors. As president of
that body he will exert much Unfit
ence in shaping the instrument 1t
has been commissioned to produce.
In some quarters he is classed as
reactionary. but the word conser-
vative better describes him. He is
a protectionist, a sound money man.
and supporter Of the Constitution
OF the United States He believes
that the old charter is as good as
ever. and should be our guide in all
essentials. He prs.:sts all the
radical features q what is called
progressivism. az. especially those
relating to the eo;.ltp The recall OF
either judges or jud,rial decisions
would. III his opinion. work infinite
harm.
The constitutional convention will
complete its task early in the fall If
not sooner. and what it produces will
become the subject OF much and wide
discussion. A new charter for
state OF New Works Importance will
command attention in the political.
the legal and the business world.
and if il is approved by public opin-
ion Mr.. Roots share OF the praise
will be considerable. His prestige
will be increased
New York does not want to appear
at the republican national convention
without a candidate of her own. So
if Gov. Whitman is not the man, Mr..
Root is very likely to be. He has
never held political Office by popu-
lar favor.

A Murder Mystery.

A coroner's jury has reached the
conclusion that Nellie Hill, whose
body was found in a vacant house re-
Gently. came to her death by violence
and not as result of suicide or ac-
eident, thus ruling with the coroner
as against the police detectives, who
believed that the woman was the vic
Tim of a fall This conclusion does
not, of course. necessarily insure the
capture and punishment of the per-
son responsible for the woman's
death. though it is TO be assumed that
the police. despite their theory of ac-
eident. have been to the utmost de-
gree diligent in searching for evil
dence to solve the mystery. 1t is
highly undesirable that another un-
solved murder should go upon the
Districts records, which already
contain disquieting number of such
crimes.

Calvert Street Bridge.

Maj. Kutz, the Engineer Commis-
sioner of the District, in an address
before the Connecticut Avenue Citi-
zens' Association the other night,
stated that the Calvert Street bridge
across Rock creek, about which there
has been much discussion in the
past, is now regarded as per-
tectly safe and that there need
be no apprehension on the score
of the public security. At the same
time, however. he pronounced it in
adequate and gave assurance that the
Commissioners will include in their
next estimates an item for the prepa-
ration of plans for its replacement.
1t is gratifying to know that in the
opinion of the Engineer Commits
sioner this bridge is trustworthy, and
furthermore that he regards it as in
adequate, for with this latter opinion
entertained by the District govern
ment, in confirmation of the public
estimation of the structure. there is
a prospect of relief. Calvert Street
bridge has been a subject of annoy
ance and danger for several years.
Not even the late changes in the
structure, which removed the over
hang, met the public requir ircments.
Indeed, they added to the inadequaey
of the bridge, for the reduction of
the roadway made dangerous traf-
fc congestion. Such a bridge is a
menace to public security and should
not be tolerated in the District.

South American Trade Marks.

The disclosure that through inn
perfeetions Of the international trade
mark laws. particularly in South
America, North American merchants
are put to . serious handicap in the
marketing of their own goods in the
southern countries should lead to an
early reetihcation of . condition that
i. an sbsolute barrier against freedom
OF trade between the two sections of
this hemisphere. Under these condi-
tions an American trade mark may
be registered in one OF the South
American countries ahead of the
registration of the originator, and this
priority makes it impossible for the
manufacturer of the goods to place
hi. products in that country except
by permission of the imitator of his
trade mark. Thus some of the best
established standard goods of North
American production arc practically
barred from South America because

A Prohibition National Convention.

Senator Sheppard o' Texas, a
democrat. but leader in the move
rnent for national prohibition. says
that the economic phase OF the pro-
hibition question will be discussed
ii ali its bearings at the national pro-
hibition convention to be held at At
lantic City early III July. and actic-l
OF national interest taken then.
This is an important xFnc,,r-e-
rent. The present strength OF the
prohibition .-,ovement-astonisll
alike 10 friend and fnc-is based al
most exclusively upon agitation OF
he moral phase OF the question. II
i not difficult to point out the evil
OF excessive drink, or OF the deOas-
ing influence OF the saloon III poll
tics. particularly municipal politics.
The saloon as political headquarters
is curse. and has assisted in much
municipal corruption. Wherever
this theme has been handled the ef-
feet has been to make converts to
IHe pIOnlDitlOn cause.
But the very success of the moral
phase has made prominent the eco
nonlic phase of prohibition. They
are indissolubly connected. Enor-
nous sums of money are invested in
distilling, brewing and saloon prop
critics. Very large sums are collected
from those properties in the way of
taxes And labor is to be considered.
Statistics show that great numbers
OF men. with families depending on
them, are employed by those prop
critics.
All of this enters into the equation
The prohibition question cannot be
settled advantageously to all exclu-
sively on the moral phase Con-
sideration must be given to the
other phase; and the prohibitionists
are wise in assigning it a place on
their program of discussion for this
July meeting.
There are embarrassments ahead
for both parties in this matter. The
prohibitionists are preparing to move
on the works of both at next years
national conventions, with a demand
for recognition in the platforms and
in the records of the nominees. If
they are denied. those who are demo-
Gratis and those who are republicans
will have to choose between their
old associations and a straightout
prohibition ticket. If their demands
are in part granted-unqualified pro-
hibition is not expected from either
OF the old parties-the compromise
will have to be drawn with the great
est skill
Among those mentioned for Presi-
dent on prohibition ticket intended
to draw votes from both the demo-
cratic and the republican party, Mr..
Hobson at present has the call. He
is now in private life, and free to act
as best suits his views and purposes.
He is intensely for prohibition, and
employing his time in the interests
of the propaganda, and as a lecturer
is very popular.

QUALITY or CIRCULATION

THE quality Of the circulation Of The West Virgnian is such.
that it gets the best results for the advertiser. JUS. "circula-
font the kind the experienced advertiser wants is sbuying, paying
circulation. The circulation Of The West Vngnian being paid
in advance, is such a circulation. The advertiser Knows
that the subscribers Of The West Vnginian. do not throw the pa.
Pc away, but they read it. Else, why do they buy itp They
pay for il in advance, therefore the advertiser is justified in as
suning that they will pay him for what they buy Of him. Such
Articulation is Of inestnnable value to the merchant, and who
ever fails to keep his business constantly before such a class Of
readers makes only a part of the money he might make.
