MANY POINTS
That Naturally Appeals to West
Virqinians in the Candidacy
of Coleman du Pont.

The life and aims OF Coleman du
Pont, candidate for the Republican
nomination for president OF the
United States, have many points
that command themselves to West
Ntrginians. The mere fact that he
started life as a pick and shovel
worker in the coal mines of Ken
lucky and, through his own efforts,
worked his way up to one OF great
prominence in the business world,
naturally appeals to West vIrginians
because they know best the Difficult
ties that he must have overcome.
His business care was marked by
success in everything he undertook.
When he disposed OF his interests in
the big powder works that bear his
name, he bought majority OF the
stock OF the Equitable Life Assur-
ance Society. and is now most active
In directing the business of that
great institution. He withdrew
from the powder business because he
did not want to profit by the selling
OF munitions to war-rldden Europe,
but a desire to be working kept him
from retiring from active life. His
knowledge of business methods and
his ability to grasp big problems
make him an ideal candidate from
the standpoint of having a business
man for president. West VirgInians
interests are business interests and
they should be administered by bust
ness men.
Good road is another crying need
OF this state and that again turns at
tention to du Pont. He stands to-
day the most prominent figure in
/ the good roads movement Of the coun-
try. He has consistently advocated
good roads as the first step in re-
ducing the high cost of living by
doing away with the tremendous
high cost of delivering produce to
market. Du Pont, as president would
undoubtedly see that the federal
government took an active part in
the building of good roads.
Put business man like Coleman
du Pont in the White House and
nearly every big problem that con-
fronts the country would soon he
found to be nothing more than a
business proposition to be handled
in the big, broad-minded way that
has made du Pont such a great bust
ness success. The economies that
would come to the country through
the application Of business methods
would mean great savings in the cost
Of running the government.

nieccr Imnorts. I.rss I,ercnne.

In the report of the department of
commerce for the month OF February
It is shown that the imports estab-
lished a new record, being valued at
s19%, 935,l17, which is about ten mil
lion more than in January and much
above the total for any earlier Feb
ruary. Over two-thirds Of the
months imports entered free of duty.
Such statement might be of
greater interest TO the public at large
II it meant corresponding benefit
to the people. but instead OF the
country benefiting thereby. It was the
loser by many millions. II Is the ac-
ton of the Democratic admiristra-
ton in slashing the tariff which per-
mits this large amount OF goods TO
come into the country free at time
when there is large deficit in the
treasury and federal taxes are being
collected.
While the imports for February
are showing an Increase over Feb
ruary OF 1913 by 100000 there
is also shown a decrease In revenue
OF SS,O00,O00 and there has been
no reduction in the cost Of living.
The same situation was revealed
during January when imports
amounted TO S1s4,O0o.oO0 against

at Thirty-second and Pacific streets on

the command. Throw up your hands
at him.

stream OF bright light from its head

PARK SCHOOL KlDDlES
PRACTIClNG ON "AHS"

1t is within the possibilities that Park
school will have a new yell and II IL prob
able that the new yell will be mostly
"ah." The school yell of Park is not an
everyday demonstration. but is reserved
tor special and important occasions. \
few weeks ago. when Principal Mason
brought in a copy OF The Bee and read
OF the proposed new building for the Park
district, then the boys and girls gave
their school yell. because that was an i'm
portant news event.
The story OF ah. as II pertains 20 Park
school, begins with Nurse Kaiser. who
makes the examinations OF the children.
When examining the children's throats
IL is customary TO use tongue depressors,
but not at Park school. All the nurse has
to do is ask the children TO say "ah,
and she can see any throat without the
aid of a depressor or periscope. This
situation makes the work easy for the
nurse. Besides. It is saving the expense
OF tongue depressors. az each depressor
can be used only once.
The new Park school yell will sound
something like this:
