MUST BE CLEAN.

This is going to be year in poll
tics when candidates presenting them
selves for the suffrage of the people
must be clean. The inquiry at Wash
ington developing questionable con-
nection of so many in public life with
the devious and mysterious meander-
lngs of the oil leases of public lands
has sort of created the habit of being,
plain spoken about the shortcomings
of men in the public eye, and if there
is anything approaching suspicion
cllnging to candidates for public office,
the people are going to hear about it
right from the kickoff.
The man nominated for public of
flee this year must be clean as the
proverbial hounds tooth.
The Republican party is therefore
fortunate in its prospective National
leader, President Coolidge, who will
be its nominee for president. In the
midst Of developments at the National
Capital when clothes of men of both
major parties are made to smell of
contamination with questionable nego-
tiatiOns signing away National rights,
the character of the President shines
in bold relief. Not an atom of sus-
picion is anywhere pointed in his di-
rection.
There Will therefore be an insistent
demand from followers of the Repub-
lican party all along the line for the
nomination of candidates who can
match up with their National leader
in character and clearness. West Viz
ginia Republicans must not make the
mistake of choosing candidates who
will have to be apoligized for from
start to finish.
We will have the opportunity of
nominating men who can strengthen
the hands of the President. We will
also have the opportunity of nomina-
ting candidates whose records will not
require explanation.
The Republican organization in the
coming campaign will meet opposi-
ton encouraged to believe that Re
publican dominance in the Nation is to
be shortlived and it is going to re-
quire united and aggressive work with
clearcut candidates to successfouul
combat the opposition.

COOLIDGE FOR CONSERVA
TON.

President Coolidge has announced
his determination to conserve for the
federal government the rights of the
United States in the national forest
areas now in jeopardy of alienation
should the claims of the Northern Pa
cific Railroad be allowed by the courts
Three millions of acres of highly val
liable timber lands, a considerable por-
ton of which has been lavishly cult
waited by the government, may be pat
ented to the railroad and lost to the
nation forever unless Congress takes
immediate steps.
Under the land grant acts of 1864
a vast empire was diverted to the
ownership of the transcontnental
railway lines. Northern Pacifc's
share of this was approximately no.
100000 acres. Through sale of these
lands to settlers, and for other pur-
poses, the railroads were supposed to
raise funds for construction.
In a letter to the chairman of the
Senate and House Public Lands COM
mittee the President urges immediate
consideration by Congress of ways
and means to halt further conversion
to private uses of any portion of the
lands to which the railroad company
is not clearly entitled.
Out of the sales of lands in it's
grant the Northern Pacific already
has collected more than $4,000, 900,
whereas the cost of building the rail
road was only about S70,000,O00. In
all more than 100000 acres allocated
to the company enormously. The
President points out that this vast
acreage can be saved to the federal
government only by the act of Con-
gress.
President Coolidge insists that fair
treatment shall be accorded the rail
road company, but he is unwilling to
have the United States sustain such
serious loss if by proper legislative
provision it can be avoided. Hts
stand will find universal support with
the public.
