lRy George VI. summers

WASHINGTON, June 26.-The Mex
lean situation has been the absorbing
topic in Washington during the last
week, and even state politics have
been forgotten in the interest mani
tested in the trouble to the south.
Congress has been standing ready to
put through any measure the Presi-
dent might consider necessary, and
the Democratic members from West
Virginia have been ready at any time
to give their endorsement and approx
al to the course pursued by President
Wilson and Secretary of War Newton
d. Baker, a West Virginian by birth.
The President and his secretary of
war have been proceeding with the
utmost caution and endeavoring in ev-
cry way to avoid war with Mexico, If
war can be avoided without sacrific-
ing the national honor, and this course
has met with general approval. 1t
is the wish of every one in the CAPT
tai, as it is everywhere, that war may
be avoided, and the President is pro-
ceeding with the utmost caution in all
that he does. There will be no war
if he can avoid it, but the situation
has not looked very promising for
peace.
Senator Chiffon and Congressman
Nicely and Lfttlepage are in full SYM
patty with the. President and will back
him up in the senate and house, if it
comes to them to do so. The nation
al honor win not be sacrificed while
Woodrow Wilson is President, but if
it can be avoided otherwise there will
be no war between the United States
and Mexico. Senator Chiffon and Rep
reGentatives Nicely and Littlepage are
in full accord with him in this respect
and can be relied upon to favor a
declaration of war only in case all
efforts to maintain peace with honor
fail
In the meantime. Adjutant General
John C. Bond, of West Virginia, has
appealed to the authorities in, the war
department to have both West Vir-
ginia regiments of the National Guard
called into active service and has ask
ed the West Virginia senators and rep
resentatives to help him in the mat
ter. 1t is apparent that the West Vir-
ginians are ready and eager to assist
in whatever movement the President
may deem necessary, although they do
not want to go to war unless it can
not be avoided.

May Promote Davis.

The belief prevails here among many
persons that John w. Davis, of West
Virginia, now solicitor general of the
United States, will be made a member
of the cabinet soon He has been men
toned frequently in connection with
an appointment to the supreme court
bench. but the understanding now is
that Attorney General Gregory will be
appointed to the supreme court to fill
the vacancy caused by the resignation
OF Justice Hughes and that Solicitor
General Davis will then be made At
torney General. West Virginia has
had three cabinet positions.
The late Senator Elkins was once
secretary of war Senator Golf was
secretary of the navy and the late Will
liam L. Wilson was postmaster gen.
eral under Grover Cleveland Should
Mr.. Davis be named for the cabinet
position he would be the fourth West
Virginian to hold such a position, al
though Newton d. Baker, present sec
rotary of war is a native of Vest Vir-
ginia and practiced law at Martins
burg before going to Ohio, to which
state he is now accredited

Congressman Adam b. Littlepage
took an active part in getting through
the house the resolution to provide
pay for government clerks who are
members of the National Guard, while

olution prepared and was ready to in
tr0duee it when it became apparent
that there would be objection unless
the resolution came from the minority
party so he held up his resolution and
assisted in passing the one which the
house afterwards adopted

which seemed to come within the last

that 1t has become almost impossible

uses. The price has gone up to sol

usual price. The quality chiefly val
