falsehoods, or" the managers of : these
plants were charged with closing them
through a dlebolicle political conspi
racy to influence the voters, If that
was the case why are they waiting
so long to resume operations, and why
do they feel their way so carefully

! If the orders are In sight to keep

Dr. Charles P. Stelnmou, Chief con-'
! Milting Engineer of the General Elec
! trie Company, one of the largest In
dustrial organizations in the world, is
quoted in the New York World, a |
Democratic newspaper as follows:
"There are a million men out of
work in the United States today and
in hundred thousand men starving, and
this at a time when we ought to bo
enjoying an unprecedented measure
oi prosperity."
He says there are a million men
I out of work and a hundred thousand
starving and he is not conducting any
body's campaign neither la he a can
d'date for office and, of course, he
does not expect, to Influence any vot
I ere by telling the truth when no cam
paign Is 011.
Another question we would like to
ask our Democratic friends and that
is. what Is there about the war situa
i Hon now that is better for business
In this country than existed at tlio
beginning of the war. In other words
if the war Is the cause of the business
j depression, why does it not get worse
as the war continues, and how can it
improve unless the war stops?
A COLD PROPOSITION.
Congressman Smith, of Buffalo, has
i introduced a resolution in the I-Iouse ?
o! Representatives, setting up claim j
I to the North Pole by night of Peary'3 |
I discovery. Wo thought our imperials-:
tic t.endereies would end with'the ac
quisition of the Philipino Islands, but
it seems that our ambition to add
[more to otir .territorial .possessions j
1 was not to end there. , I
Ufcfore tho United States undertakes ;
j to extend Its protecting nrms around
the cold nnil shivering form of the
unsympathetic North Polo, we want f.o ;
I give Congress the benefit of our un-,
s-olicited advice. We ask the West
Virginia delegation, especially not to|
warm up to this firgid proposition |
without giving the subject most care
ml .consideration. .Pause, we say:
Ftop. look and listen! Think of the
expense this country would, be put
tc In keeping a atandlng army at the
Artie Apex of the earth to protect our
possessions from the invasion of Tios
tile nations! Think of the cost of
maintaining the commlssory depart
ment in tho frozen north, with the
price of gum drops keeping pace with
the, high cost of living! think .of. main
taining the Monroe Doctrine against
the invading hordes of Esqulmos and
preserving the neutrality of the inhab
itants ot North Pole with the warring
rations of Europe! Wo should not
think of establishing more than a
friendly protectorate over the fat and
woolly inhabitants of tho North Pole
territory.
It makes the cold shiverations go
cavorting up and down our Bptnal
columnal-stnictural .anatomy .every
time we think of taking possession of
tilt- North Pole.
Let us desist, yes let us refrain
irc,in serious thought of taking this
isiep across the ice flowa of the Artie
| Circle at least until summer comes
ouco again!
"ENSMALLING" THE
LEGISLATURE.
The Parkorsburg State Journal says
the Preston News Is In favor of "en
smalllng" the legislature, hut express
es some doubt about tho conjugation
of the verb. According to Geo. Ado's
j dictionary ensmall means to "divy in
' to smaller parts," "to lop off," "to
cause to fade away," "23, beat it, or
skiddoo for a part thereof," etc.
Wo thlqk we catch tho meaning of
the News. It wants tho legislature!
"onsmalled" as to numbers and I
"alarged" as to ability and efficiency,!
a suggestion of considerable merit. 1
THE APEX OF THE COLD WAVE.
The cold wave seems to have come
from all directions and npexed con-j
vcrsely at Fuirmont. Twelve below
is somewhat depressing.
TURN OFF THE GAS.
Watch tho gas. Reports of gas ex
plosions with fatal roeults aro fre
quent nov,-. If you sleep with the
gas on In your bedroom, the room
should bo fully ventilated. The safest
1 plan is to turn the gas off on retiring, j
Sleeping in a closed room with the gas
burning, with tho danger of the gas
going oft and .coming back on during
the night, is liko flirting with death.
Natural gas Is one of nature's greatest
blessings and a great convenience,
but like all other good things It car
ries its penalties for its careless use.
GANG STANDS PAT.
"Confronted with the necessity of
adding about 33 per cent to the bur
den of the taxpayers to pay for the
high salaried unnecessary public offi
cials and for their own blundering
and incompetence, tho five gangsters
In the Council dlscardod tho last pre
tense of economy and the application
ot business methods to tho city's af
fairs yesterday."
No, gentle reader, these are not tho
words of the West Virginian, although
they do seem to describe local condi
tions. It was the staid and conserva
tive old Pittsburgh Dispatch that said
these unkind words.
What do yon suppose a conservative
paper would say If It commented upon
tho conditions of Fairmont where tho
snlary and wage budget was Increas
ed twenty thousand dollars in one
year in spite ot the fact that the city
Is staggoring tinder the wolgbt of ?
hundred thousand dollars ot floating
Indebtedness?
; ^cbd-Iast haB deified,
pleads that God's own hands
Fell 'on'the brave "who died.
Their fields are only dust
And.stained with the deepest red;
Hunger has not a crust?
And God is credited!
Shall not the wide earth see
Crowns pre belated crime?
And men shall have degree
And deeds become sublime.
Wither with scorn the shame
And mockery of God?
Yea. let the whole earth flame
To burn the devil's brood.
Of rulers holding men
Only for cannon's food!?
1 holr ghosts shall come again
From march and plain and w.tod;
How shall It be with kings
When leagued with life they come,
And fate on dial flings -
Shadow of righteous drum?
Then Peace shall light the world
Where murder burned Inconso
Of flags that Death had furled
To worship Insolence.
Yea let the whole earth swear
Hearing a nation's cry
Let oath be sworn, with prayer;
Brave Belgium shall not die!

THE COUNTY COURTS
GENEROSITY.
i lie people of Fairmont and Fair-,
wont district, have contributed to the
eause of good roads the sum of $400,
OOOby a bond Issue which is to bo
paid by direct taxation on their prop I
Hly, but the county court Is not sit-1
sfied with putting this burden on I
litem and lias paved the streets of I
uannington. paying the sum of $5.o3J.
?M for tho work out of tlio county I
fund, which was therefore very targe
J.v contributed by the tax payers of
this city, whoso taxable property
makes up almost one third of the tax
able property of the entire county.
Tho taxable property of the county be
ing in round numbers, $60,000,000 and
of Fairmont about $18,000,000, mak
ing the contribution of the tax payers
^C??irmcnt t0 tllis Paving job over
51500, for which they get no benefit.
Hie County Court . is Indeed verv
generous with the money of the people
especially when it is to be spent for
the benefit of tho neighbors of the1
president of the Court.
Mr. Glover may add to the strength I
of his boom for sheriff in his own I
district by such work, but how many
extrax votes will it give him,from
Jairmont where the heaviest voting
strength lies?
THE EVIDENCE.
A coke plant at Uniontown was 3old
for 91.00 and .the .assumption of |
mortgages at a public sale yesterday,
Another evldeneo of returning pros
perity.
A LA PRESTON NEWS.
As tho Preston News might say it,
"This cold weather 'shivers our tim
bers." "
STILL AT RANDOM.
When the present Big Four system!
of city government loses by compari- i
son of its expense with that of the |
"Government at Random" Bystem of
1913 it makes a sorry showing in
deed. The salary and wage budgets
of the two years show $20,000 in fav-1
or of the "Government at Random."!
That was bad enough and the people j
got rid of it. They can get rid of
what they have now by becoming in
dead earnest about it.
MUST ANSWER YET.
The depression of busines and the
high cost of living which the Republi
cans blame on the Democratic ad
ministration nro world-wide condi
t'fms. The cahlos, tell for example, of
mass meetings held throughout Italy
yesterday for the purpose of urging
some steps to nlleviate the distress
i ciJe to unemployment, and high prices.
?'Wheeling Registor.
I Yes, but did not the Democrats i
tel.1 the poople that tho Republican [
tnrlff policy was the cause of the high j
j In the tariff would i?ring the prices
cost of living and that a reduction
j down.
i Tho Republican a do not put thi
blame for the high cost of living on 1
the Democratic party, but they do j
luatue it with the business depression I
and for the failure of its promise to
reduce the high cost of living. The
Democratic party must answer for
Its failure.
WINTER HINTS.
I ?
Take the eggs from the nest before
going to bed tonight. Any well bred
hen would as soon thaw out a door knob
as a frozen egg.
Keep the churn close to tho flro; you
can't make butter from ice cream.
o
Let the spigot run if you pay for
your water on meter rates; if not, let
it run anyway, but send a contribution
to the water department conscience
fund.
Food the English sparrows; they can
not build nests In your water spouts
next summer if they are permitted to
starve this winter.
Carry a chair cushion with you when
traveling the slippery streets; If you
must sit down, why not make it as
comfortablo as possible?
Keep your hands out of your pockets
while shoveling snow; it is not good
form to put your bauds in your pockets
?only when you nro. having notno one
else doing the shoveling.
Put In as much time talking about
tne weather as possible; wo do not
have cold spells Ilka this only every
winter.

Song and Story
The Blessing of a Friend.
Commend mo to the friend that comes
When I am sad and lone.
And makes the anguish of my heart
The suffering of, his own;
Who coldly shuns the glittering throng
At pleasure's gay levee.
And comes to gild a sombro hour
And gives his heart to me.
Ifo hears me count my sorrows o'er.
And when the task is done
He freely gives me all I ask?'
A Blgh for every one.
He cannot wear a smiling face
When mine is touched with gloom;
But like the violet, seeks to cheer
The midnight with perfume.
Commend me to that generous heart
Which, like the pine on high,
Uplifts tho same unvarying brow
To every change of sky;
Whoso friendship does not fade away
When wintry tempests blow.
But like the winter's icy crown
Looks greener through the snow.
Ho flies not with the flitting stork,
That seeks a southern sky,
But lingers where the wounded bird
Hath laid him down to die.
Oh, Bitch a friend! He Is in truth,
Wlmte'er his lot may he,
A rainbow on the storm of life,
An anchor on its sea.
?Rev. J. 0. Borton, Ph. D.

"Is that so." jokingly responded the
stranger. "Well, I'll bet you don't
live to see another 100."
"I don't know about that," was the
smiling rejoinder of the aged native.
"I am a whole lot stronger now than
I was when I started on my first 100."

FREE TEXT BOOKS
Iu the efforts now being made to
sccure free text books, the Hunting
ton Trades and Labor Assembly de
sol ves and ought to have the co-op
pration of the progressive citizenship
<if the community. That the provls
lriu demanded has been so long delay
ed is an indictment largely to the dis
credit of the state of West Virginia.
The provision for free .text books
ought to be state-wide, and the next
legislature will fail the people in a
vital need If it permits the session to
close without making free text books
possible.
If the legislature remits the ques
tion to go begging, as it has done in
the past, then it will become the duly
of the municipality to make such pro-J
visions as will serve the needs.
The state owes to every boy and |
gitl the opportunity to secure an edu
cation. It is painfull vtriio that thous
ands of families are unable to provide ]
hooks for their children. The curs? of
illiteracy owes, in no small measure, j
its existence to this very fact. The
Ilerald-Dlspatch, would not counsel
a law making the stato buy books for
nil children. Farents whoso financial
standing Is such as to enable them to
provide for their own children should
do so, and, as a rule, do so provide.
Fride and a sense of honor, however,
will draw the line, and the state would
not be imposed upon to any great ex
tent under Buch a law.'
In indorsing the movement started
by the Trades and Labor Assembly,
' the Herald-Dispatch will go'a step fur
ther. It will offer an amendment
compelling the state to furnish shoos
and other necessary wearing apparel
for children ambitious to go to school,
1 lit who are being deprived of the op
portunity because of poverty. The
state which, professes to maintain a
truancy system, but which fails at the
same time to furnish free text books
proaches dangerously near hypocrisy.

INDIANS WHO STRUCK OIL.
Wiiene Secretary Lane in his annual
report speaks of the Osages as proba
bly the wealthiest people in the world
he draws a picture of prosperity in
which their numerous brothers on
Western reservations have no part.
It was tho fortune of the Navajos, one
of the strongest and worthiest tribes!
among the 300,000 Indians still remain
' ing in tho United States, to be consign
ed to a barren tract of territory in Arl
zona and N'ew Mexico. By good luck
the Fivo Clvllzod Tribes came into
posession of immensely rich lands
whose future value was little suspect!
ed. The Navajos still live as best they j
can from their sheep and ponies, as
they did forty years ago, The Osagos,
Chickasaws have substantial proper
ty interests. It was not the original
' Intention of the Government to favor
one class more than another or prob-;
ably to favor either ol them greatly,
Through . the allotment of their
tribal lands in severalty the Osages
each received about 657 acres. Their
average wealth is $9,570, and their
average Income from oil and gas roy-,
altles alone $690. The average Osage
family of four would receive an in
come of nearly $2,700, aside from tho j
returns from the land allotted its mem !
bors. There are individual Creks
who last year received over $90,000
in oil royalties.
The tribal revenues collected last
year for the Five Civilized Tribes from
grazing fees, coal and asphalt leases,
payment on town lots and sale of un
allotted lands amounted to $1,95C?297
and since 189S over $17,000,000 has
been deposited to their credit. The
' problem In their case is to keep them;
from walsting their resources and now |
that they have the status of citizens,
from hplng preyed upon their whito
neighbors.
The problem with other iesB fortun
ate tribes is how they shall be raised
from tho verge of starvation and
made self-supporting by the aid of
a Government which tardily is recog
nizing Its responsibilities. These did
not strike oil. ?N. Y. World.
