F, Mr.. Hill is right when he says that
after the close of the big war in Eu
rope there is going to be a tremendous
struggle for the mastery of the mar
kets of the world; but it would appear
that he does not wish that our country
should enter upon the struggle as
competitor. He would have us run
away from the fight and hide behinc
a tariff wall, leaving to other nation
the commercial battle and the finan
cial victory. He actually believes what
his party teaches, that, pauperized and
exhausted by devastating war, Europe
will be able to drive us out of all neu
! ltral markets and conquer us in our
! home market unless we protect our
selves behind tariff fortress.
| 1t is estimated by credible author
lity that it will require improvements
to the value of billions of dollars to
restore Belgium and northern France
to the condition they enjoyed before
the war broke out. The demand for
machinery will be enormous. Here is
our opportunity. We can and will
supply that demand if we are wise
enough to take in exchange the pro
ducts of France and Belgium; but II
we levy great big tariff duty or
those products, there is nothing more
certain than that England will mo
nopolize that trade and her manufac
turers reap that harvest. That was
the opinion of the late James ]. Hill
one of the most sagacious business
men of his or any other day.

Then there is Russia. That country
is just waking from the slumLsr Of
ages. This war will prepare her peo
pie for civilization. Russia will build
tens Of thousands of miles of railroads
and equip them for up-to-date trans
portation facilities. She will build fac.
tories and develop her wonderful nat.
ural resources. Thus Russia must buy
from somewhere supplies necessary to
her great undertakings. Shall we fur
nish those supplies? Not if we levy
heavy tariff duties on the merchan-
disc Of Russia, which she hopes to ex-
change for our manufactures. i take
that to be fundamental.

FULL STATE TICKET
Bitterness Between LilIy-Robinson
Factions is Becoming Very
Acute

The battle on between the Lilly
White and Robinson-Hite factions of
the republican party is growing in
bitterness each day and has now
reached such an acute stage that the
war" is not being confined entirely
to senatorial and gubernatorial con
tests, but is spreading out over the
entire state ticket.
Each side is lining up a complete
ticket in order to gather in the sup
porters of the candidates for the les
ser state Offices and make the battle q.
clean-cut top to-bottom affair be-
tween the administration forces
back of Robinson and Hite and the
anti-administration forces behind Lii
lily and White
While some of the candidates are
hesitating somewhat about coming
out openly right at this time and an
nouncing which side they have lined
W with, the showing of animosity be-
tween the two factions is becoming 80
fragrant that within a few weeks
every candidate will have to assume
either the Robinson-Hite or Lilly
White stamp. If they rely on the vot-
es of those who remain neutral"
their totals, it is said, will be small
indeed:
According to fairly reliable informa-
ton the probable line up of the tick
cts, will be:
Administration An'i-Administratio
For U. S. Senator.
William f. Hite Albert b. White
For Governor.
Ira E. Robinson A. A. Lilly.
For Secretary of State.
Houston G. Young. hike King.

NJ. x. Shawkey. c. Il. Murray.
Howard Sutherland for senator;
Charles Henning for secretary of
state; NJ. Kittle, for state treasurer,
Judge Written, for attorney general;
e l.. Long, Tor auditor, are candidates
on the outside of the charmed circle,
it is said.

FAIR PLAY WANTED.

Everybody loves fair play. Every.
body loves an exciting contest if hon
est effort and fair play characterize
the struggle. There rs a contest on
fof the Republican nomination for
governor of West Virginia This con
test has all along been characterized
by interest and activity. II is one
OF the contests that should be con-
Quoted along dignified lines, but it is
the one fight, so far, that has been
subjected to criticism and suspicion.
With the activity that the Hatfield
element is waging in an effort to land
Judge Robinson the winner and the
manner that that activity is being
waged, is what is causing folks to
deplore the scrap.
We refer to the frenzied activities
that many of the officials of the state
are putting forth to spread the Rob
lnson doctrine. Nor no one will deny
any candidate the right to go abroad
over the state to make bis appeal
to the voters; nor win anyone deny
the right of a candidate to send his
friends over the state. That is not
the rub. But when it comes to the
place that men in the employ of the
state as officials of one or another
capacity, spread this doctrine at the
expense of the taxpayers, right there
is where the voters should revolt. If
a candidate wants to send men, let
him pay the fiddler, or let them pay
the freight. No one will object to
that course; but for the taxpayers
tc foot the bills is rubbing salt in
the wounds.
Do the taxpayers and voters doubt =?
Watch Jack Nightengale labor com.
missioner; watch s. P. Smith, bank
ing commissioner; watch dozens of
other state employees. You will fine
them active and alert in the Robin
son cause. They are not to blame.
Great God, No. their jobs depend on
their efforts in this respect. The
have received their instructions anG
their edicts, and that they are carry
ing them out to a nicely, cannot be
doubted. And the taxpayers foot the
bill.-Tyler County News.

OUR CANDIDATES.

The, Herald invites the attention
Of its readers to the splendid arary
OF candidates who are seeking the
nominations for the various county of
fise, which will be filled at the cleo
ton next fall. 1t is needless to COM
ment upon. the eminent fitness OF
these gentlemen. All are well ana
favorably known throughout the
county, and in presenting their claims
they are not meeting strangers, but
old friends. 1t is very gratifying that
the Republican party can offer such
candidates. In so doing no apologies
are made because none of them need
srch as their lives are an open book,
and all know they are men worthy
OF the highest trust that can be re-
posed in them. The Republican party
this year is out to win, and if all
work together in harmony that re
suit will be attained.

BIG DEMAND MADE
FOR HOGG'S SPEECH
Especial to The World J

CHARLESTON, w. Va, March 80
According to authentic information
given out here today the demand for
printed copies Of the celebrated
speech delivered by Senator Cory
Hogg, attacking the Hatfield machine
building and extravaganza, is coming
from every quarter of the state. It
is claimed by many political observ-
ers that this is the greatest political
speech that has been delivered in
West Virginia in twenty years, and
that beyond all question it has de.
fined the one great issue on which
the campaign must be fought, and
has laid out the specifications for
a vigorous and fearless fight.
At the Hogg headquarters today.
Leslie Bayliss stated that the speech
was attracting attention everywhere
in West Virginia and beyond the Dor
ders of the state. lie announced that
the copy had been put into the hands
of the printers and that about twenty
thousand should be ready in few
days for distribution among the West
Virginia taxpayers.
Senator Hogg is now campaigning
in the northern panhandle, but is
expected to return to Charleston
within a few days, when he will prob
ably be given quite an ovation by
his friends and admirers 1t is said
that, as a candidate. he is making
an excellent impression, and his
friends claim that his candidacy is

They state that the young Fayette
senator has no enemies and no poll
teal scars. and with the vigilant cam
paign which he is beginning to wage
there will be no doubt of his nomina-
ton at the primaries in June and his
triumphant election in November.

NOW COMES THE POST.

The State Journal regrets its in

and political orthodoxy modern to

yesterday we commented upon some
well-tempered criticism made of thee

Charleston Post echoes virtually the
same refrain, but with considerable
more vigor 1t accuses the State
Journal of bringing railing accusa
ton against the governor" and say
ii were as if the Crown Prince OF
Germany, in a newspaper, assaulted
Gen. Joffre. This latter observation
we will sweep aside as being to us en-
tirely incomprehensible
The Post makes the mistake of as
Stunning that Gov aHtfield is the Re
publican party and that failure to ac
cept his doctrine as to candidates con
stitrtes apostasy to Republicanism
The State Journal assumes that il
Is not the province of the governor
TO pass upon the Republicanism o
West Virginia voters and candidates
The State Journal believes that whef
the governors paper read Grant Hal
out OF the party and then read Gen
Lilly out because Hall was alleged Il
be supporting him. he oyerstepped hi!
authority and as well made a polit
ical mistake.
The voters of the party themselves
must determine the principles ant

j ernor seeks To dictate both principle
and candidates the better for all con
cerned Our criticism, if such it ma,

STATE SUPERVISOR
OF RURAL SCHOOLS
Will Make An Effort to Secure Larger

Year.

Preparatory to a tour OF the state

several county conferences OF district

that Of Marshal county today and
to close with that of Jeffeffrson coun.
ty June 80, l.. j. Hanifan, state su-
peryisor Of rural schools, has pre-
pared statistics for number OF
charts now being drawn by Superyi-
sor George E. Hubbs, OF the examina-
ton division, to illustrate the need
OF increased school attendance in
West Virginia.
One of these charts, all of which
are impressive illustrations of the
points it is desired to drive home, is
intended to show that the school at.
tendance IN all the counties is far
short of what it should be runRing
from 81 per cent of the enumeration
iii Lewis county to 40 per cent in
Jefferson county. The average at
tendance in the state is only As per
cent Of the enumeration.
AS result of the failure of pa
rents teachers and school authorities
to enforce attendance, it is shown
there are over 10000 illiterate per-
sons between the ages of 10 and 20
years.

the existence of these facilities for

MANY ARE Storing
MACHINES AWAY

When the price of gasoline rose in
New York city to 27 cents, and even
as high as 50 cents a gallon, many mo-
florists placed their cars in dead stor-
age and the garage owners rapidly
reached a condition bordering on eX-
treme alarm. In New York it is be-
iieved that the price of gasoline may
go to 40 cents, and the automobile
people believe that in this event
many pleasure cars and motor trucks
will be added to the retirement list.
New Workers state that even the
wealthy owners of cars object to pay
ing the eXtortianate prices now de
manded for gasoline, and that many
of these have given up their cars for
the time being.
1t is estimated that 10 per cent of
the middle class owners have already
stored their cars until such time as
the gasoline prices come back to nor
NAL. Men of the trade along Broad
way say that the increase in the price
of gasoline has resulted in many pros
pective buyers deferring their pur-
chases until later. The business viii
feel the decrease of buying within a
short time.
A Detroit man suggested recently
that the automobile trade and automo-
bile owners inaugurated strike
against gasoline prices by entering
into an agreement to lay by their
cars for couple of days each week
This gentleman believes that this &C
ton will result in great decrease in
the receipts of the companies han
ding gasoline and that in a few
weeks it would bring down the price
of gasoline materially.
