FIX UP THE STREETS

Unless the city Of Wheeling or the
County Commissioners soon act. our
thoroughfares leading into the Wheeling
Creek valley will become impossible.
The heavy coal traffic over the streets
Of Fulton has cut two or the importans
connecting streets to pieces. The road
over the Peninsula is almost entirely
ruined. and the old National Pike
thorush Fulton IL rapidly disintegrat-
ing. Tho recent Supreme Court action
placed upon the commissioners the duty
OF keeping tho National Road in good
condition. The connecting roads OF
Fulton should be kept in condition by
the city OF Wheeling. Let US hope that
one or both OF these bodies will got

streets IN their present condition are =

DEMOCRATS SHOULD WIN

The results of the democratic
primary election has placed in
the field a splendid ticket for
State offices, as well as for
county Offices, and with perfect
harmony reigning in the party,
every nominee on the democratic
ticket for a State or county Office
should be elected.
Arizona is a democratic State
and the party should sweep the
State with a good majority for
every candidate.
Graham county is democratic
by big majority; the ticket for
county offices has brought into
the field men competent to fill
the positions they seek, and when
the vote is counted on November
I'd, it should show a majority for
every democratic candidate.
We say it will.

CHANGE OF ELECTION LAWS

representatives in the Legislature

The representatives are noms

spective districts, viz: The nom-
inees for district No. / are nomi,
mated in the primary election by
the electors in district No. l, and
in the general election in Novem.
Der. the same electors vote for
these candidates. confining the
vote in the primary and general
election to the districts only.
In the case of the supervisors,
the electors in districts Nos.
and 2. vote for the candidates in
their respective districts, but in
the general election the electors
of the whole county vote for the
candidates.
The candidate for State sena'
tor is voted for at large in the
county in the primary and in

REBUILDING OUR RAILROADS

1t is going to take time, brains
and money to BRING the railroad
system up to the needs of our
country.
Political speeches, bowling for
more wages, government opera
tion or employees ownership will
not do it.
1t is the biggest job in our
country today working up of
the transportation industry to
the point where it can carry its
load as it should be carried.
1t must be carried without
strain and bad management and
cusswords, and with plenty of
engines and cars where they are
needed, moved swiftly to where
they ought to be.
Experts generally have agreed
on these three fundamental facts:
l. That industry in the United
States has outgrown the whole
system of rail transportation.
2. That steps must be taken
at once to increase the working
capacity of the whole system.
3. That development to actual
100 per cent efficiency for pres
ent and future demands is going
to take time years, maybe, and
billions of dollars new capital.

shifty. without profound convic-
tions or deep-rooted political prin-
ciples. Where they delude them
selves is in thinking that they
ore the ones who would influ-
IacP hiN ja the event of his cleo
ouu. They could make no great
er mistake.
Harding, if he is elected, will
be an Old-Guard President. His
record and his associations all
prove it. He will be a faithful
servant of the reactionary repub-
lican organization, and it was
never more reactionary. Any
progressive measures that he ad-
vocates will be measures that the
Old Guard and the Senate oligar-
chy adopt on the ground of exped-
iency. He and they will give as
little as possible, and what they
give they will give grudgingly.
Knowing nothing about for
eign affairs, Harding went with
the ty-wreckers because the
Senate gang decided that treaty.
wrecking was good partisanship,
and if he ever becomes President
he will follow that crew to the
end of his term. The man has
demonstrated that he is incapa-
Bile of standing on his own feet.
He must have support, and the
strongest support that he can
find is in the reactionary repub-
licanism that dominates the or
ganization and is in uncontested
control of the party machinery.
Nobody in the United States
knows better than Herbert c.
Hoover that Harding is not fit to
be President of the United States
at such a time as this. Other re-
publican progressives know it,
too, although their facilities for
realizing the extent of the Hard
ing incapacity are fewer than
Hoover's. Even if they are will
ing to delude themselves they
ought to have compunctions of
conscience about helping to de-
lude the country.
Without question Warren G.
Harding is the weakest and the
most incompetent candidate the
republicans have ever nominated
for President of the United
States. No amount of self-decep-
tion on the part of progressive
republicans can change the es-
sential facts. IN. Y. World.

WHY GROW OLD?

A relative of mine, an optim-
istic old gentleman, recently died
at the age of 104 years. He was
interested in all the happenings
of the day, and took great pleas
ure in his daily walk and occas-
ional argument with theN neigh
bors.
He refused to think of old age.
He never spoke of himself as an
old man, and | don't think he
thought of it either. If he want
ed to 20 some place or do some
thing out of the ordinary, he
never allowed his age to inter-
fere with it. He was as happy
and free as a child when out on
a pleasure trip. If some strang-
er wanted to coddle him because
of his old age, he would resent
it and usually said so. That was
one way to insult him.
Kind thoughts and unselfish
actions do much to keep us young.
We must be interested in the
work and people, but not to the
extent of taking it too seriously.
One of the greatest enemies of
youth is the habit of taking
everything so seriously.
It's not strange that my rela-
tive, 104 years old. was so happy
and interested in everything
worth while. Rather it's be.

FOOLING THEMSELVES

The republican party must
pre-empt the field of progressive
ness" says Mr.. Hoover.
Tell that to Penrose. Tell it
to Barnes. Tell it to Brandegee.
Tell it to Jim Watson. Tell it to
Lodge. Tell it to Daugherty,
the Ohio boss who made Hard
ing politically. Tell it to the
senatorial gang that nominated
Harding at Chicago, according
to the Daugherty prophecy:
At the proper time after the Re-
publican National Convention meets,
some fifteen men, bleary-eyed with
loss Of sleep and perspiring pro-
fusely with the excessive heat, will
sit down in seclusion around big
table. will be with them and
will present the name of Senator
Harding TO them, and before they
get through they will put him over.
They did put him over, and the
men who put him over did not
put him over in order to pre-
empt the field of progressive
ness" On the contrary.
Why should progressives like
Mr.. Hoover, why should liberal
republican newspapers like the
Tribune and the Philadelphia
Public Ledger, try to fool them
selves as to the political affilia-
tions of the republican candidate
or the kind of administration he
will inevitably give if elected
The Tribune is opposing the re-
election of Senator Wadsworth
in this State on the ground that
he is a reactionary, which is true,
but Wadsworth is no more re.
dictionary than Harding, and he
has what Harding lacks ability
and courage.
