Kazan sat quiet and trembling.
He was not afraid, but he was not ready

world for him. Down there II was new
and strange, and without men,
From the other side something seemed
nullng him back and suddenly he turned
bIs head and gazed back through the
moonllt space behind him, and whined.
II was the dog-whine now. The woman
was hack there. He could hear her voice.
He could feel the touch of her soft
hand, He could see the laughter In her
face and eyes, the laughter that had
made him warm and happy. She was
calling to him through the forests. and
he was torn between desire to answer
plain. For he could also see many
men waiting for him with clubs, and he
could hear the cracking of whips, and
feel the sting of their lashes.
For O long time he remained on the
top of the ridge that divided his world.
And then, at last, he turned and went
down into the plain.

That night the pack killed a caribou on
the edge of the lake. and feasted until
nearly dawn. Kazan hung in the face of

warm flesh tickled his nostrils. and his
sharp ears could catch the cracking of
bones But the instinct was stronger
than the temptation.

acattered far and wide over the plain.

AMERICA FIRST

The above is, perhaps, the most significant and
Vital sentence ever spoken by the gentleman from oys

Hill depends whether not the G. o. P. will go into
the coming campaign truly reunited party and how
posteriy will view Col. Theodore Roosevelt. Colonel
Roosevelt as has been said by Pittsburgh editor,
stands In the shadow of momentous decision" The
choice Is between personal ambition and pride the
one hand and sefdenyng patriotism the other. The
provsiona refusal of the Progressive nomination would
indicate that Roosevelt is to make the wise choice.
The highest welfare Of the American people, 1t is
admitted on all sides, depends on and demands re-
united Republican party. word from Roosevelt and
this much desired condition is brought about word
from Sycamore Hill indorsng Hughes, and the last drip
from the ugly wound Of 1912 is stopped and the G. O. p

intact The chances for success Of the Republican party
ne exceedingly bright, II they have harmony and
unity in the ranks. Therefore, wait the right word
from Col Roosevelt We walt, likewise, with little mis-
giving as to the action which he will take.
Col Roosevelt, we believe, is too big, too much Of a
patriot and too sagaclous to make wild plunge at this
crisis in our history There is nothing in the platform
Republican party to which he we'll take ex-
cepon and there is nothing in the statement Of Hughes
legitimate complaint he may have had in 1872 He
could not possibly be elected the Progressive ticket
All that he could do would be to draw few from the

WEST VIReINIA's CREED.

Governor Hatfield OF West Virginia
has issued a novel proclamation invit.
ing the people Of that State to cele-
brate its flfty.third birthday with ap.
propriate ceremonies. June 20. The
Governor proclaims the day from noon
onward public holiday in which
each community following It's own
bent and impulse may plan for public
celebrations, parades, banquets and
SO forth and thus impress upon the
young people Of the State the need
that the State has Of their services
and enthusiasm, and thus emphasize
to all within the State and in neighpor.
ing States the knowledge Of West Vir-
ginia's comparative youth, its splendid
development, its great resources and
the spirit Of Its progressive people"
The proclamation closes with the In
junction that everyone repeat this
creed Of West Virginia on that day.
1belieye In West Virginia and honor
the men and women who have built
the State to greatness in fifty.three
years.
believe that the mountains and
valleys Of West Virginia shall forever
be the home Of a free and self.govern.
ing people.
believe that the men and women
Of today, living in West Virginia as the
inheritors Of what has already been
done for the State, must themselves
serve the State.
I believe in the children of West
Virginia as the richest resource of the
State; for into their hands will pass
all that we are proud Of in the history
and In the possessions Of West Viz.
ginia.
AS a gift to the State on it's fifty.
third birthday pledge myself to serve
1t with honor. in public and private;
to do my task with patience; and to
ever strive to build better State
through the character Of service which
shows out In my daily Life.
Sentimental, you may say, But not
sentimentalism to be ashamed Of,
rather to be proud Of. Why not stin,.
ulate State pride as we'll as National
patriotism? Think Of our States. not
as mere geographical divisions or DO
littcal districts, but as communities at
large. The youthful enthusiasm OF
West Virginia might well be emulated
by Its older neighbors.
