HON. WIN. E. BAKER

One Of the important duties which
the Republicans Of West Virginia have
10 perform at the state primary is the
election of state committee. Men,
bership on the state committee involves
responsibilities. Most often the only
reward which a committeeman gets is
a Tolley OF unjust criticism from some
person who knows nothing about his
work The Republican state committee
this year Is especially fortunate in hav-
ing for it's chairman. a gentleman who
has brought to the position. a high
conception Of its duties and opportun-
tiles for service. Hon. William l.
Baker of Elkins, the present chairman.
is not unlike Chairman VIII II. Hays
OF the National committee in that he
regards the Craftsmanship OF the state
committee as an opportunity for SER
vice and not for "bossism." Mr.. Baker
made splendid record in the campaign
Of 1918. and since that time. he has
worked most diligently In building up
and perfccting the Republican organi-
zation in this state. He has studiously
kept. apars from the partisan contests
within the party. lie is allied with no
particular faction. and represents no in
terest. He stands Tor Republican vic
tory.
The intcllisenccr believes that 1t
voices the sentiments OF the Republi-
cans OF West Virginia generally when
IT expresses the hope that Mr.. Baker
will be reelected to the state committee
by the voters Of his district and that
he Will be again chosen to the state
chairmanship. Mr.. Bakers duties as
state chairman prevent him from
making any campaign among the voters

APPARENTLY DrsGRUNT1ED

If we are to judge from the news
paper reports Of his attitude. and We
have generally found newspaper state
ments to he in tho main fairly acCu-
rate. Auditor Darst Of West Virginia
is somewhat out of humor because Il
West Nirginian has presumed to aspire
to secure his states endorsement for
the presidency after the auditor had
promised it to an outsider who don't
look much IKE a winner. anyway, from
tn" present outlook.
1t is not probable that West Virginia
will endorse tho claims of resident Of
another state for the presidential nom
ination in preference to one OF her
own citizens. That would be without
precedent in tho history OF tho state.
80 II may be regarded az being about
as certain as anything political can be
that Senator Sutherland Will receive
the endorsement of the Republicans of
West Virginia for the presidency. and
even though this may carry beyond tho
reach Of the auditor other things near
or home. we believe he is a good enough
loser to accept tho inevitable. put on n
cheerful front and be thankful for
what he has already rCccivcd.--Dunbar

Thermometer Deterioration.


Even thermometers become old, and
consequently inaccurate with age, mer-
curial instruments reading too high
and spirit instruments too low. In the
former case the bulb appears to shrink,
thus forcing the quicksilver too far up
the stem. This gradual shrinkage is
supposed to be due to the fact that the
external pressure on the bulb may be
considerably higher than the internal
pressure, the air as far as possible hav-
ing been removed before the glass is
sealed. On the other hand, the spir-
it thermometer is sealed with the bulb
covered in freezing mixture, in order
to lock up in the glass as much air as
possible. The instrument thus starts
with the internal pressure which in
time appears to be, reduced either by
expansion Of the glass under the in
ternal pressure or by leakage.-Scien.

Old schooners Become Barges

Disposal Of large numbers Of old
schooners, to say nothing of an over
supply of new~wood ships, has been a
problem for the past few years. River
and canal men, meanwhile, have been
facing a shortage of barges. Putting
these two facts together, Eastern ship
builders have now evolved a new form
of schooner barge, made by removing
the upper works and the below-deck
cabins and bulkheads Of the schoOners.
Such barges are capacious and have
the advantages of speed in towing and
seaworthiness for coast work, and If
lost from a sea tow can make port
with a, jury rig. In South America as
we'll as the United States, rebuilt
schooners for barge work already are
at a premium.-Popular Mechanics
