II viii be unparalleled In character The
Republicans OF West Virginia are filled
with enthusiasm and confident OF sue
csss. They are proud Of the great stan
dard-bearer. whom they have nominated
for the Presidency. His inspiring ad-
dresses, his statesmanlike utterances
have caused them TO feel that they have
4 candidate worthy OF the high office
which they seek for him. and at the
Earne time, 4 candidate whose feet are
on che ground. who knows the life and
problems OF tho American people. and
who will measure up 10 the demands
that they Will make upon him.
In small way. the automobile cav
alcade will convey TO Senator Harding
the respectc and appreciation Of III"
people Of our section. but after all. no
body Of excursionists can fully do that.
On Nov. the people OF the Ohio VAL
ley, and particularly OF this section Of
West Virginia Will speak far more de-
cisiyely than any delegation can. how =
ever worthy and however representative
auch a delegation may be. The message,
which the Republicans OF this section
will. bear 10 Senator Harding tomorrow.
M only a forerunner OF the greater mes
al 70 in which the large majority OF our
'etissnship will join on election day.

state would place New Jersey along side Of her
sister states in this now thoroughly established
legislation.
Mr.. Hobart, being a member of the progressive
Essex delegation In the legislature for the COM
ing session is in a position to WELD consider
able influence for good. Essex county has GER
tainiy redeemed herself this year when we COM
pare the newly elected assemblymen with the
Jim Nugent delegation that went TO Trenton
from that county for the last session. Besides,
Mr.. Hobart has a reputation to uphold. being a
nephew of the famous Carrot A. Hobert. of
Paterson, who was associated as vice president
with William Mckinley during the ~lstter's first
term.
The Republican majority will need a man of
character and ability for their presiding oficer
during the coming session. With only a single
Democrat to oppose them they will have every
thing their own way and the temptation to do
things they ought not to do will be great.
II this action in the selection of a speaker
should be followed by a determination to iop
off some of the useless Offices that have been
created from time TO time in running the legis-
iature. thereby reducing the expenses of the
state considerably, another big step will have
taken toward gaining the confidence OF the
people.
The Republicans have a wonderful opportun-
ity before them next year. 1t remains to be
seen what use they make it. Under the right
kind of management their control of the state
will be assured for years to come.

HOBART FOR SPEAKER.

As a result of the CAUCUS of the Republican
assemblymen held at Trenton yesterday it looks
as if New Jersey was going to have a new deal
IN the handling of state affairs next year. The
selection of George S. Hobart, of Essex county,
for speaker of the next House shows a pre-
dominationg dry sentiment and the indications
are that New Jersey will not only ratify the
eighteenth amendment, but will enact a law
.concurring'' with the federal government in
the enforcement of the Voistead act.
OF course. it makes no difference whether
New Jersey ratihes the eighteenth amendment TO
the federal constitution now or not. A sufficient
number of other states have so ratified thereby
making it a part of the fundamental law OF the
land. 1t is therefore as applicable In New Jer-
sey as it is in any other state. But. as tardy
as it would be. ratification on the part Of this

FAITH AT THROTTLE
By DR.. James /. Vance.

He was n of those young old
men. His hair was white, his race
was rudy, there was a twinkle IN
his eye. and / noticed thai his hand
was steady. He was past threescore
years and ten, and he had come as
an elder to represent his church at
the meeting of Ppesbytery. 1 think II
was the first time he had made a run
on the ecclesiastical track.
AS we sat at the lunch able tank
ing, he told me he had been a loco
motive engineer for forty-two years
Every day or night during nearly
half a century he had made his run.
All those years he had worked for
the same road, and had recently
been retired on pension.
How much of that time have you
been a Christian ?" I asked him. "AN
of it, and more" vas the reply. II
found God when I was a boy, and HE
has never left me-"
No wonder he had been with the
road so long. and nov was talking 10
me about it as though it were a. part
of his family!
/ felt as if I'd like to ride on the
train with that cd man at the throi-
tie. 1t would be a train divinely at
tended.
Maybe religion does not always
make a man reliable, but it should.
