WHY NOT THINK OF THE
UNITED STATES?
Prom the Chicago Tribune.
For two years and a half Americans
havp been allied emotionally with na
tlons at war. A person different to the
. fate of one or the. other of the twe
, seta of combatants in Europe would
be difficult to find in the United States.
At times the intensity of emotion here
. has been almost the,intensity of emotion
in a nation at war.
During this time American opinion
has been affected by the fortunes o!
other nations. American sympathies
have been abroad. The pro-ally was
delected by the German successes in
assaulting the Verdun fortresses and
elated when the Somme battle seemed
to have prospect of substantial gain
The Pro-Oerznan has been distressed
by reports ot suffering In Germany
and has been exhilarated by German
military achievements. ^

Uut emotionally a condition was ere- 1

to the nations at war except as
the fate of those nations is related to
the fate of the United States.

Even congress (or why "even" 7) finds
itself trying to predicate American ac- 1
tion upon the moral values in the European
war. This is unsafe ground, '
It is dangerous grou dnbecause Amer- 1
lean opinion is divided, and for the i
1 purposes or action American opinion
i must be unified. It can be unified 1
. upon the practical question of Amori- 1
i tan needs. i
The first American need is for a di- ,
vorce of American sentiment from Europe.
Our action must be based upon I
a rational estimate of American necessities.
We must dismiss the moralities '
of Europe from consideration. They '
will serve only to confuse our dc- <
ciuions.

that the purposes of tho United States

OUTBURSTS OF I
(BY CO
= T
BITS OF
STATE NEWS
Thousands of dollars In damage has
been done to fruit trees In the southern
part of the state by the recent
heavy and wet snowfalls. The great-'
est loss was sustained In this connec-'
tlon last Sunday night when fully six j
or seven inches of snow followed a
heavy rainfall. Limbs were nrokeu off
trees of all varieties, and in some
young orchards all the limbs on one
side of the trees were broken. Telephone
and telegraph lines have been
down In places for several days due
to the same cause and a number of ]
smaller telephone companies will be
a week or more In making repairs.
At least three departments of state
government will have to operate with
care during the next few months or
more. They are the military, prohibition,
and printing. For the purpose of
running the military affairs of lite
state, the fund Is ndt in excess of $300.
For printing thfere is a deficit already
of something like $8,000. and the prohibition
department, to conduct its ]
business until the new prohibition law ]
goes into effect, has less than $500.,
It is believed there will be much dif-1
ficulty in" checking illegal traffic in
intoxicants after the 'quart a month'
act goes into effect in April.
While hundreds of visitors who were
in Charleston for the inaugural ceremonies
Monday have left for home,
many have remained, for there is a
small army of office seekers, many
of whom expect to stay at the capital
until they loarn positively whether
they "have been taken care of." The
appointments developing upon1 Johu
J. Cornwell. the new governor, are numerous
and there will be many disappointments
for there are not one-fenlti
the offices to be distributed for which
there arc applicants.
The forest, fish and game department
of West Virginia will not he
crippled by reason ot tho scarcity of
money. There is a sufficient fund for
the conduct of this office until the end
of the term of J. A. Viquesney, of lie
ungton. mere are oveij ovu uByuauLa ,
for Mr. Vlqucsney's position, not'that
it Is a very remunerative office, but
because there are thousands of West
Virginians who are of the belief that
they are specially capable of doing the
work it entails through their knowledge
of game and fish, to say nothing
of the forestry part of tho work.
Six engines and boilers aro being
installed at the plant being built at
Olenhayes by the Eureka dhpe 'Line
Co., for relaying the oil supply sent
through the lines to Parkersburg from
the Somerset and Estill fields of Kentucky.
The Eureka concern provides
a continuation for the old Cumberland
line which was constructed about
twenty years ago along the 45-degree
anticlinal from the northern edge of
Tennessee through Kentucky and West
Virginia. Every available laborer In

figure of $4.25 per barrel net.
These apples have been In storage In
