We slipped in through the gathering

a few lights pickering before the altar.

NOT ROADS-POLITICS

WHEN George F. Cotterill,
w chief engineer of the state
highway department was in Ken
newick recently, ostenslbly Tor
the purpose of inspecting the
state roads in Benton county, he
seemed to be little hazy on road
matters, but he was there like a
wheel-horse when it came to pol
itics. He didn't know what the
state intends to do with the road
grade which it has built between
Richland and Kiona and which
is now almost impossible. lie
didn't even know that money for
building this road was approprl-
ated by the last legislature or
from what fund it came, but ne
was very positive that Governor
Lister was not to be held respon-
sible for the incompetency, lax
methods and reckless expendl-
lures of several of his state ap-
pointees. He didn't know any
thing about any of the difficulties
which have been encountered in
building the Benton Biggam
road, but he was very positive
that no blame was due Governor
Lister for the industrial insur.
ance scandal or many OF the
other plumbers Of the present ad.
ministration.
Naturally, after talking with
Mr.. Cotterill, we arrived at the
conclusion that Governor Lister
had not appointed him chief en-
gineer Of the highway depart
ment for what he knows about
roads, but what he knows about
politics; that he is not travelling
over the state for any good HI
may do in road building, but fol
what good he may do himself ant
his chief politically.
AS a matter Of fact, it seem

minded his own affairs, talked
little and worked much. He has
never had any particularly bad
luck, but today the old farm is
still mortgaged, the bank &C
count is still lean, the home life
of the family is still frugal and
their abode lacks the earmarks
of thrift in evidence on other
farms i'm the neighborhood. He
has always labored just short OF

AS merchant, as an artisan,
or a mechanic this man may
have been signal success. The
trouble with him is that he is
out of his sphere. He has failed
to harmonic with his environ
ment; he has worked at cross
purposes with himself and the
world. He isn't a farmer.
There is no doubt but that MIR.
LaFollette has been a worker in
Congress. We believe he has
striven to serve his district and
state as best he could. He has
given the best there is in him to
the job and if he has not accom-
plished those things which he
might have accomplished, no
criticism of him as a man is
coming to him on that score.
Neither does the fact that he is
a willing worker justify the vot-
ers in continuing him in office If
there are better men available.
The fact that he has worked
harder than he has talked may
be to his credit as a man but il
doesn't necessarily add to his

lican party that convention should %
made up largely of the members OF tins :
bar Of the highest standing throughout
the State, in so far as it was practlca-
BILE to do SO. We venture the assertion
that the delegates to the Republican con-
vention at Huntington. regularly chosen
and accredited to that convention, COM
prised at least four-iifths of the Re
publican members Of The bar IN tho
State Of West Virginia engaged in the
active practice OF the law. None but
fool would assert that Judge Robinson
and y. T. Vinson combined. or the en-.
tire Vinson combination. could control
and dominate that convention, or could
have rammed 4 ready-mace platforl
down its throat.
The pretense that Judge Robinson
promised. or conspired with Abe Lilly.
Taylor Vinson. and Grant Hall to at
tempt to dominate that convention is an
insult not only TO every intelligent Re
publican in the State, but to Taylor Vim
sons quartcttc. They should learn to
sing another tune. rather than harp
upon acts. which if true. disclose that
they were willing to unite with Judge
Robinson to attempt to dominate the
convention in order to further their own
peculiar ideas of party action.
The remaining charge is that Judge
Robinson agreed that Hatfield would

10 carry out that agreement? You are
a good enough lawyer TO know that
when n man agrees that anything Will

as he had been doing in the past?
An Expert Eolter. -
Now. being an expert "bolter" your

should be equally divided between tho
supporters OF Lilly and the support
ers Of Robinson. Up to the present,
Judge Robinson has not been disburs-
ing any patronage Of the governors Of
flee, but insists from the stump that
he will recognize no faction in the
Republican party in making appoint
ments, but will look solely to efficiency
and the best interests Of the State. TO
the lay mind ii is hard TO understand
why five eminent lawyers would &C.
cuse Judge Robinson, an eX.member OF
the Supreme Court of the State, OF
making promises in distribution of pat
ronage. which. if actually made, would
disqualify him from holding the office
OF Governor, and furnish the basis for
conviction Of felony.
II will be somewhat difficult to make
the thinking people Of West Virginia
believe that Judge Robinson went
any further in the patronage matter
than he has himself stated. The stat
ute does NOT entirely overlook The
party who induces a candidate for Of
flee to, violate the corrupt practices
act. and if the implied promises charg-
ed against Judge Robinson were real
ly true, the persons who extracted :he
promises would each be entitled 10 a
decoration Of the State of West Vir-
ginia 10 be conferred by Il Judge Or
a criminal court.
Verses one and TWO can certainly be
written down as "piffle." They 30 not
contain the reason why the ReDuhli-
can party has lost such a desirable
member as MIR. Nins0n. or why Hall,
Houston. McKCll and Lilly have ON
Spirpd 10 secure the defeat OF Judge
Robinson.
Verse three" provides that Grant
Hall should be made chairman Of The
Republican State Executive Commit
tee. Verse -four" that Abe Lilly would
be made temporary chairman Of the
Stat" Convention at Huntington. his
speech TO have been 0 KID by Judge
Robinson.
Halls Grievance
A great many Republicans would
like to know whether Grant Han is at
tempting to defeat Judge Robinson Ire
cause he tHalll was not made chair
man of the Republican State Commit
tee. His peculiar fitness for that ro-
sition probably entitled him 10 it, but
a man Of sufficient calibrc and size
TO be made chairman OF that import
ant committee ought to be TOO large 10
get sore and refuse to play because il
was not handed 10 him.
II is thought Marcum has given 4
rather childish reason for the dtsioy-
atty Of Hall. and one OF which GranS
must be somewhat ashamed. Had ne
not been already diSloyal 10 the Rcpuh-
lCan party. ii is hard TO believe that
the failure 10 secure a coveted chair
manship would have driven him To sup
port the Democratic nominee. Ii IS
hardly likely that the Democratic par
