RUSSIA NEEDS ROOT
Russia needs the sustaining hands
of the United States, a "guide, philos
opher and friend." as it were, in her
struggles to perfect a republican form
of government. Germany, hy false
professions of friendship and the de
ceit of her intriguers, Is doing her ut
most to prevent the people of that
Empire from establishing a democra
cy. This is evident on every hand.
The recent reported disturbances of
anarchists and anti-American demon
strations in Petrograd can be charged
up to German fomentation. The
autocracy of Germany fears the effect
o" the success of a Russian democra
cy on her own people.
If the American Commission, head
ed by Elihu Root, gets to Russia
in time, the people will be saved
from lapsing into the old despotism,
or anarchy. No man is better fitted
to counsel and advise Russia in tak
ing her first steps in democratic gov
ernment than America's foremost
statesman, publicist and diplomat,
Elihu Roor. Let us hope that he may
not be too late and that Russia be
saved to take her rightful place among
the sister republics of the world.
HELPING THE FARMER
A.t the Open Forum conducted by
The "Wheeling Commercial Associa
tion, its efficient manager. Mr. Charles
R. Ketchum. made a strong presenta
tion of the farming situation with re
gard to the necessity of providing the
labor for increased acreage and larger
crops. He sketched with much vivid
ness the plight of the farmer who is
expected to do more without being sup
plied with the necessary help to per:
form his task. Surely Wheeling and
every other community in the country
is fully acquainted with the exigencies
of the hour with all the publicity that
has been given it through the press
and other agencies engaged in im
pressing the fopd supply problem upon
the minds of the people.
Mr. Ketchum was eminently right in
insisting that the most practical solu
tion of the difficulty of securing labor
for the farm to be through the volun
teer'farm army plan, and that the oni?
way to accomplish results is immedi
ate organization of men for such ser
vice. Such a scheme is now being
promoted by the "Wheeling Commer
cial Association, and it is the duty of
those who are disqualified from do
ing their "bit" for the country In other
v-ays to rally to the farm colors, whete
they can be just as effective in for
warding the interests of the nation, as
well as their own community, a3
though they bore arms. Manning the
plow and the hoe is just as important
as manning the army and the navy.

MARITAL " SLACKERS "
One of the preat life insurance com
panies has deduced a significant state
of affairs that prevails in the country
from the statistics it has gathered, aud
?which is ia distinct menace to the fu
ture welfare of the nation. It finds
that there are ten million unmarried
mem in the United States between the
ages of IS and 44. which is nearly half
the total of twenty-two million men in
this age period. To this disclosure is
coupled the statement that there are
about nine million of unmated women
in the country. Of the men in this class
it is stated that a vast number are of
sound health and financially able to
marry. Why do they not do it? Thl3
is no trifling question. It may soon
become one of national importance
and concern, especially as the nation
today has a declining birth rate.
Clearly for the safety .of the state
and of the race we now need not oniy
more soldiers but more fathers and
mothers. Soon a large number of men
are to be sent to the battle front. Un
der these conditions the significance
of the excessive number of unmarrioi
people is obvious. The development
of expensive tastes by our young wom
en and the high cost of living furnish,
excuses for many young men to re
main single. But there are surely
three million out of the ten million to
whom these excuses could not apply
and who, in the natural order of
things, should he married. The wealth
of our people has increased niarve
lously in recent years and the propor
tion of married people should have in
creased accordingly. The insurance
Statement closes with these pertinent
?reflections:
Comparison* with 'Is?* r>as* i>r with
."other countries does n??t dispose of the
? problem or tell us why our surplus
'millions of marriageable men should
Yemain single. As a result of this emi
tlition. & vast number of vounjc women

ness houses to earn their daily bread.?
work whirh nature did not intend them
to do and which, in many instances, ad
wisely affects their health and lives.
\ml this continues while a ftreat army |
? !' unmarried men are seltishly spending
j their earnings upon themselves. Many |
?>r them without a euro or responsibility, l
I dt: velop extravagant ami often vicious j
j habits which they decline to give up for
Ian orderly .rational normal existence as I
j tcarried men. This is an unnatural J
I state of affairs, ami merits attention.

I U. S. STEEL'S PATRIOTISM
Perhaps there is no industrial organ- j
! ization, with the exception of the Stand
jard Oil Company, which has been so j
! much the.? sport of unreasoning dema
gogues as the United States Steel Cor
poration. Nor is there any other ag
gregation of invested capital that has i
| been so ruthlessly pursued and heck- '
[led by officious government agencies
! who have acted under misguided mo
itives. Even now it is under the men
lace of a suspended suit for dissolu
tion. Yet with all the endeavors to
[prejudice it, it has been one of the
jmost beneficent agencies for the ad
vancement and prosperity of labor nnd
i today exists as the most potential
| force back of the government in the
[industrial sense.
But this much abused corporation is
more than that. It is practically as
well as spiritually patriotic. It has
made, it is true, unuual profits out of
the industrial renaissance due to the
world war, but it now comes forward I
,with Its "bit" for the country by an- 1
icouncing through its chairman, Judge j
Gary, that the corporation would sub-j
scribe to the extent of $5,000,000 lor
the one-year certificates of indebted
ness, and indicates when the govern
ment's war bonds were issued, the cor
poration's subscription would be even
larger. He announced also, the direc-j
jtors had voted to anticipate payment;
I to the government of $9,600,000 income j
tax not due until June 15 and to sud-|
[scribe $50,000 to the $3,000,000 now he-,
jing raised for the army and navy I
I branches of the Young Men's Christian ;
I Association. Notwithstanding this con- 1
j crete demonstration of the collective j
j public spirit and loyalty of its direct- j

believe that any good can come out of

ffATIONAX EDITO XIAXi SERVICE OP THE "WTHEEEI2IG XNTEEX.IGENCEE
THE ARMY OF THE LAND r
When the Farmer Works for Uncle Sam.
BY G. SCOTT DALGrLEISH
Formerly General Manager of the Agricultural Bank
of Egypt.
There are signs everywhere that the
1'nited Slates has taken up in all
seriousness the problem of mobilizing
a "Held" army to develop to the full
est. the agricultural resources of the
country
Not only is the federal government
giving the most careful consideration
to the matter of food supply but the
several state administrations are tak
ing vigorous individual action. The
general conference at St. Louis pre
sided over by Secretary Houston has
been followed by various state con
ventions and informal meetings. Def
inite progress has been made in pro
viding for credits, in examining into
the supply of seed available, in
encouraging the tillage of vacant
lands, in arranging that school boys I
be taught husbandry and in searching j
for the means to 'provide extra labor;
for the undermanned farms of the!
country.
This last feature is the most serious i
problem to be faced; to find the rank)
and file for the great army that is to;
maintain the productiveness of thei
country. The situation recalls Lord!
Fisher's plan of skeleton crews for!
the British navy. This consisted in j
maintaining in commission the mini- 1
mum of highly trained seamen, gun
ners and petty officers and. in c-ase of
need, calling upon the merchat marine
and the fishing ileets for the men nec
essary to complete the crews of the
ships. The farmers of this country
provide the skilled officers' corps of
the skeleton system, what must be
supplied now is the material for the
rank and file.
It is almost inevitable that slips
the United States vras drawn into the
conflict and is contending for the same
principles as those espoused by tho
French and British armies, which
makes old time former enemies fast
friends and comrades in arms. *
It is a great combination as it
stands. The United States receiving
with open arms a delegation from a
country that only 142 years ago landed
Its armies on our soil to further en
slave us, and who later burned our cap
itol. ought to make the spirit of Mount
Vernon materialize, especially since
behind the French delegation trails
the shade of Lafayette. Politics havo
been known to produce strange bedfel
lows. but the exigencies of war some
times cement as strange friendships,
and among them stands pre-eminent)
the mingling of the Tri-Color, the Un
ion Jack and the Stars and Stripes.
Breathes there a man tvlth soul .?<>
dead who never to himself hath saiil.
"this is where I cut out bread."
FOOD PRICE PROBLEM
The suggestions of the Secretary of
Agriculture to Congress with regard ;
to the fixing of prices for food shouid
get a prompt response from that body.
At present there is no agency endowed
with the power to limit food prices,
and it. is asked that such power be con
ferred on the government by statute
enactment, giving the authorities thi>
right to fix minimum and maximum
prices, if the emergency requires them.
will soon be taken by the federal gov-!
eminent to co-ordinate all the ele-1
ments of individual effort, be thev of
states, of country or of municipality.
When this is to be done it may be
suggested that more intelligent and
more efficient action will be possible
if some semblance of army organiza
tion be created. Owners of farms
should be given rank commensurate
with ^the size and producing capacity
of their farms; their foremen and
skilled laborers would be the ser
geants and corporals to train and drill
the inexperienced hands furnished,
whether gathered by volunteer or by
selective methods.
The ranks of this army would, of
course, be open to women as well as
to men. English women have wqn
suffrage through their generous whole
hearted service to their country, as
much in the dairies and in the fields
as in the camps and the hospitals.
Never before has the American wom
an had such an opportunity to stand
shoulder to shoulder with the man
tfhd to bear with him the beat and
burden of the day. That she means to
seize the opportunity, has already,
seized it, is evident and full recogni-;
tion must inevitably follow.
Man or woman, every one who I
"does his .bit" must be allowed to feel!
a just pride in his efforts. Full rank)
and honors must be accorded to all.
When, years hence, the little .child
climbs on his father's knee and says,
"Daddy, what did you do in the great
war" ihe farmer, equally with t hr? '
trench-mained veteran must be able
to reply proudly ? "I took my place in!
the ranks of Uncle Sam's armvA"
The object of a minimum price to pro-j
ducers would be to stimulate produc-i
tion of certain staple products by as-;
suring farmers that these products:
would not be disposed of below a cer- i
tain level which would give them * I
reaonable return and would not causa j
them to suffer loss in any eveut. This:
would have to be done under proper
regulation.
The shortage of important crops in !
this Nation, the greatly depleted re-j
sources abroad, and the waste and de
struction in Europe should cause a j
continuance of remunerative price;;,'
but as an additional assurance to far
mers the power indicated ought to be J
vested in the Government. It is not
suggested that maximum prices be :
fixed to producers, but that power to I
fix such prices governing the distribu
tion of products be given to the gov- 1
ernment to be used if necessary to |
control uneconomic speculation and
manipulation in the handling of food
produc'ts. Jt is of the first importance;
that no step be omitted greatly to in- I
crease the supply especially of the
great staple food products of ihe
United States in every direction.
The Democratic defection probably
falls to realize thai it's their funeral
sermon they are preaching.

l-ath wa v of the seas. It is grander than
Hie things we have spent most tune in
discussing to-day. \ iclor Hugo once
said that In the sweep of the ages there
comes limes when events constitute the
hinges upon which the centuries swing.
Such a hinge is being made to-dav.
America is getting ready to help inaugu
rate a new area in which the Insidious
doctrine of the "divine right of kings"
?shall be taken from the book of civiliza
tion and written on the page of retro

The vote of the West Virginia delega
tion in the house, as between the volun
teer and ."selective conscription" fea
tures of the military bill, it is more than
probable, will find all except Wood yard,
i.f the Fourth. supporting conscription.
However, l.itllepsige's position is in
doubt, but it is believed that, although
heretofore known as favoring voluntary
service ithis is said to have been the
reason why he was not reappoinetd a
member of the committee on military
affairs of the present congress), it is
believed thai the "stand by the Presi
dent" argument will he effective in l.u
ing him up as it has consistently done
heretofore. For the. first time in his
career here Neely, of the First, will part
company with organized labor in his. dis
trict, with which element, he has hereto
fore always stood, and vote for con
scription. ' Cooper, of the Fifth, is out
spoken in favor of it. and has been from
the first. Heed is understood to favor
it, and also Mowers, of the Second,
although the latter is keeping his own
counsel. As a matter of fact, it may he
stated that there isn't an enthusiastic
[i ttd ardent "selective conscription" man
on the delegation.
The sentiment In West Virginia, so
far sis it may be gauged from the corres
pondence received, indicates a. majority
sentiment favorable to giving the volun
teer plan a tryout first. That from
Mr. Woodyard's district shows an over
whelming sent intent in favor of the vol
unteer plan. Mr. Heed has received very
little advice about it from his constitu
ents. and those heard from by Mr.
i 'ooper favor conscription. The Bower;
advice from the "folks back home," so
far as he has heard from them, show
?a slightly stronger sentiment of con
scription. This Is probably due to the
correspondence from Morgantown. which
ha.\ been heavy on the subject and all
une way. A third more letters received
by Mr." Neely favor th.e volunteer plan
than those favoring the other. All the
congressmen say that, judged from their
correspondence. Wheeling appears to be
the only place deeply stirred up over the
bill. Practically everything from there
favors conscription, and Indicates that j
tlie proponents of that plnn have been
busy. '
