SENATOR Root OF New York proposes
TO start an agitation that will place in
political power in this country "buSineSs
men" OF the sort who managed affairs in
Mckinley times, and who Will prevent
agitation against corporations and big
business.
Mr.. Root is a back number who, some
one has said, hasn't had new icea in
twenty years. He doesn't therefore
know it, but it is a sure thing that this
country will never again put itself under
the dominion OF the men who have rob

THE Republicans have very clearly
proven their inability 10 conduct public
affairs in West Virgini'-not they are
less capable than the Democrats, but be-
cause of their wild desire TO gain party
advantage regardless OF the welfare OF
the people at large. Extravaganza in
personal and public affairs, increasing the
salaries OF political favorltes and the
multiplying OF offices for the benefit OF a
partisan machine, Impotence at every
su EgeStion OF economy or civic good,
disregard of conservative counsel and
bEld Scrambling for everything in sight
these have all borne their legitimate
if,it and the people must pay.

membered for the failure 10 provide for
the States necessities. With practi-
cally unoppoSed administration, including
the Governor and twothrdS majority in
both branches Of the Legislature, the Re-
publicans were unable 10 agree upon the
simplest measures OF public welfare, and
upon them must be laid the blame for the
present deplorable condition. Atthe oo.-
tom OF the present def-ency IN public
funds are inexcuSacle extravaganza and
the costly efforts 10 build up a partisan
machine al the expense OF the taxpayers
in general, and the Republicans must be
held responsible. Conservative people
must agree that it is time for change.

THERE is talk Of another session Of the
Legislature. The treasury being reported
empty, with no funds TO pay salaries and
current expenses in many departments
OF the State government, and consequent
embarrassment in some Of the public in
stiiuiions, pressure is being brought to
bear 10 secure promises IRON the legiSla
tors for the pass &c OF needed revenue
measures.
The one sensible thing in this crisis,
in our opinion, is for the administration
leaders to prepare such measures and
present such plans as can be conScien-
tiously supported by the Democratic mi
norty With brutal unialrneSS the Re-
publican majority refused to recognize
the rights OF the minority, and when the
Republicans got into hole through a
split in their own ranks the Democrats,
wisely or unwisely, refused all assistance
and so the session was wasted and the
State left in its present deplorable con-
diton.
II is declared that if the Republicans
will abandon certain partisan extrava-
gances which are designed solely fol
party benefit, and give reasonable asSur-
ance that the public affairs will be admin
istered economically, the Democrats vii
assist in passing revenue measures thai
can be shown TO be really necessary.
Let us hope that a reasonable compro-
mise may be agreed upon, and that attei
all production tax may be levied upor
coal, gas and oil.

1T is hard TO arrive at the conclusion
that the Germans are fighting fair in the
present feroCiouS war which is devaStat-
ing Europe, for their submarine activity
is cruel and merciless. Ii is OF course
legitimate to attack the war vessels OF
their enemies, and doubtless allowable
TO sink merchant vessels also; but il is
hard 10 justify their wanton destruction
OF passenger vessels upon which are
hundreds OF innocent -conbatants and
the uharmed ships OF neutral nations.
On Saturday last German submarine
attacked and sank the British steamship
Aguila, bound from Liverpool TO Lisbon,
and on Sunday another ship, the Falaba,
from Liverpool for the West African coast,
was also sent 10 the bottom. Both ships
carried passengers, many OF them were
drowned, and il is said that little mercy
was shown them by the Germans.
When accounts shall be finally settled
Germany will have heavy score to pay.
