If the members Of this committee. and il is worth while
to remember that it includes Others than members Of the
National committee, do their dtsy the Platform committee
Of the next Republican National convention will not have
to go it blind and the result ought to be party deca-
alton which will not only point the way to national
policy which every patriotic man and woman voter may
follow with PRIDE but inspire greater amount Of conf
dence than such deyerancss have done in recent years
when in both the old line parties the platform adopted by
the convention said one thing and the stump speech prom
ises Of the candidate said another.
This innovation and another one which provides the
party machine with an advisory committee composed Of
party Leaders and member, Of the National committee in
dcate that the Republican party as squares away for
the campaign of next year preparing also to enter upon
new period of leadership and constructive craftsmanship
1t is not going be content to be merely party Oppo-
sition 1t going do what it did back in the glorious
days of 1860 and forge the issues upon which the next
campaign will turn. That the only kind of campaign
Republican leaders have ever shown any genius for and
when this spirit is added 10 the general dissatisfaction
over the way the Democrats have msmanaged affairs is
going to make doubly certain the election of Republican
candidates not only on the national, but many of the
state tickets as well.

DIR. cARELELD,s RESCNAuoM.

E.W who have kept in touch with mine strike develop
~ ments will be surprised over the announcement that
t:Df Harry Garfield has rendered his resignation fuel
sdministrator Dr. Garfield did not spare the feelings
any one in his effort to make his position clear previous
Ito the announcement of the terms upon which settlement
was arranged and as he is man of high spirit serving as
fuel administrator now only because of his keen of
duty to the public his resignation was almost inevitable
4. Nevertheless it is pity Dr. Garfield could not bring
himself to realization that this was one Of the matters
which could only be settled by compromise. A continue
lance Of the strike would have been public calamity.
Had it gone but few weeks more it would have cost
more every week than any increase to the public in the
price Of soft coal that the Committee of Three could
to would cost in year. 1t would have disorganized all
industry caused an untold amount of suffering and would
have famed to new life the almost forgotten effort
10 stamp out unonism in this country.
4 The arrangement that the government made therefore
represents the better part of wisdom Moreover it involves
no sacrifice of principle In these circumstances it is to be
hoped that if the President asks him to withdraw the resig
nation that he Will find it possible to do His position
even had he not felt called upon resign would have been
thoroughly understood by the public. and nasmuch as
every element of the public has entire confidence in his
fairness and integrity he doubtless could be of great
vice while the details of the final settlement are being
worked out.

According to statement made by the Secretary of
State of New York. 10000 persons were killed in auto
accidents in New York during the first II months of
this year. This announcement is startling in the
treme but it would be much interesting if it
accompanied by figures showing how many auto drivers
were sent to jail and for what terms result of this
harvest of death. Something will have to be done to
stop this slaughter for on this showing the automobile
is killing people many times more rapidly than tlA
railroads did The worst year for fatalities the
railroads was 1907 in which the total for the whole
country was 1889. Now one state alone will almost
equal that in the matter Of deaths due to automobile
accidents.

According to dispatches from Chicago the Armour
packing interests to be reorganized in to large
number of separate corporations If this is indca-
ton that the packing trust about to be unscramble
the public may we'll take alarm. The most noticeable
immediate result of the breaking up OF the Standard
Oil and tobacco trusts higher prices for the public
and bigger dividends for the stockholders. That the
public got something out Of it is true freedom from
huge capitaltic combinations for thing, but It may
be doubted that it has been as grateful for that as it
might have been.

CONSTRUCTIVE POLITICS.

is peculiarly of the politics of this country that the
Y dominant parties have almost never shown any real
initiative. Indeed they have been decidedly slow even
in adopting ideas thrust into the foreground by so called
third parties al spite of the fact that there has been
a certain mutation of political organizations and certam
development of the accepted idea of the kind of issues
that ought to figure in our politics, the platforms and pn-
alike that always has been hard at any period to make
u choice between them on such basis.
That makes all the more significant the step taken by the
Republican National committee erecting committee the
duty Of which is to study conditions and outline party
policies and general party welfare This is not only an
innovation in party practice, but shows desire to serve
he whole public that ought to strike responsive chord
The West Virginian. [volume] (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1914-1974, 1919-12-12

Judging by dispatches from Washington there is sur
prise in congressional circles that there little prospect
of the enactment of railroad Legislation in advance Of
the first of the year, which date the roads will be
turned back to their if the President carries out
the plan he announced earlier in the year. But it will
be no surprise to the country at large The people
have known for weeks that congress could not get
around to this matter in time. That is a habit which
has grown up in the law making branch of the gov
eminent and it persists no matter which party is in
control.
