DUTY OF THE ADMiNISTRA.
TON TO STOF PLOTS AND
COnSPiRAClES,

We denounce all plots and
consp.rac-es il the interest Of
any foreign nation. Utterly In
tolerable is the use of oar soil
for alien intrigues. Every Am
erlcan must unrescryeuly :on.
denim them, and support every
effort for their suppression. But
here, also. prompt, vigorous and
adequate measures on the part
OF the Admin stration yer
needed. There should have
been no hesitation; no notion
that it was wise and polite to
delay. Such an abuse OF our
territory demanded immediate
and thoroIgh-going acton. As
soon as the Administration had
notice of plots and conspiracies,
1t was Its duty to stop them
1t was not lacking in resources.
It's responsibility for their con.
tinuance cannot be escaped by
the condemnation of others

acceptance.

sacred principle Of arbitration on the
altar of pcace-at-any-price, we see, In
review. the whole philosophy of the

That theory is at work In American
government today for the first time

with those who have e~ssassinated
Americans.

A surplus of $5.2OO.OOO from the
postal service during the fiscal year
ending June 30. Is reported by Post
Muster-Generll Bui4,sOn. With the
department more than paying ex-
penses, it would seem that the execu-
tive officials could afford to keep on
the payroll members OF the National
Guard. who responded when the presi-
dent called out the Organized Militia
for duty on the border.
President Wilson seems to have
founded his diplomacy on q rock
which is Off its base most of the time.

A GREAT RECORD.

VA There is. nothing the Republican
Sparty has done since it gained control
Of the government OF West Virginia
that has proved it's administrative ca
pacity and it's constructive: aspirations
!. 30 well as the progress that has been
made In the cause Of education
Sthroughout the State. Take the mat
ter Of the growth of high schools.
Extended statistics showing The
growth of these schools in West Viz
9xinia during Republican rule canno.
8be given because the last Democratic
administration had but little 10 re-
port on this subject, and the small
facts given are not reliable and L:c
based on low standards. The biennial
report of the State Superintendent OF
Schools for: the year 1Ss7-sS says:
"Although West Virginia is credited
With twenty-four or twenty-five high
schools, she must for the present con-
tent herself with the reputation OF be-
s. ing one Of the very few states without
: first class high school.
Z i. Instead OF such apologies being
necessary at the present time. We are
4 IA position to boast Of a high sch DO,
sdeyelopment and high school condi-
rHon hardly equalled for rapid progress
and high standards in any State Of the
! Union. West Virginia can now boas:
atcf 1854 public high schools, almost a
sAundred OF which are four-year high
