A DUTY WELL PERFORMED
Without belittling the achievement
of the oversubscriptfon. definitely an
: nounced, to the Libertv Loan, which,
affording to some optimistic, compu
! ters, may roach $S.?X>i?.i)0(i.o0i>. is it
: really anything morn than could be
- expected of such a rich and patriotic
r Ration? A deep reproach, flndeed,
I would have rested upon us a' we had
! failed to support the guarantees ;.nil
j pledges given by the government. As
I well as we have done we should keep
| fti mind that this is just the begin*
t z.
'mug, and that soon another call for
|3.OO0.OOO,0OO will be made upon us.
.lie w that we have gotten our hands in
the next loan will not be so difficult
t? obtain.
While many other- communities have
?*"ersubscriptlons to their credit, none
?as done bettor according to its wealth
and resources than the city of Wheel
tag, which has made up her allotment
iff $3,100,000 pius $500,000. It is not
?nly a great exhibition of her patri
Stflsro, but a distinct revelation of her
financial strength, and which compares
Javorablv with some cities of twice
and three times her population.

J AS TO ROAD BUILDING
r; Good Roads, a publication devoted
that national and State interest,
takes the same view as that expressed
&? The intfliicenv-^r last week in com
menting on the road program for West
Virginia. The Intelligencer then urged
UJiat it was just as important :c> bui'.d
scads as usual as it was to conform to
t*oe appeal to conduct "business as
usual" during the war. Or. this point
^ood Roads dwells in t.iio following
. Vigorous fnshion: "The slogan ?busi
ness ;>.< usual' has provoked much con
JJoversv since it was suggested, and
some very strong arguments have
been made both tor and against ft.
! J~ Svrrv one or" ;ru- arguments for it
bolds true for 'toad building as usual.
?one pi those on the other side are
valid. W'hiie i he war li'st.-" ? whether
that period "is to l>o measured in weeks,
months or years ? we must continue
jf. build ti'-w roads and maimain old
roads, not upon the scale we have
KcrkP'i in the past, hut on a bigger
?tale."
The propriety of ursing sueh a pol
icy is obvious. Tiie larice question in
Otis State ? in fact all States ? is get
ting the crops to market after they
are grown. What would it profit the
consumer or the culti\atcr if bumper
crops were raised in some sections if
there was difficulty, in getting from the
farm to the purchasing and consum
ing points. Increasing our food sup
ply would amount to little if there
were no roads to facilitate the distri
bution of production. No false ideas
?of economy should be allowed to even
temporarily cheek activity in road
**ork during the coming season. Ofren
the surest way tp save two dollars is
tp apend one. and just at present that
principle can be applied most advan
tigeouslv to road construction and
traintenanc. We need good roads to
$ay as we never needed them before
and no one can say how badly we may
Cteed them to-morrow.
THE GOLD TIDE TURNING
For ?. time financial authorities wore
bemoaning the accumulat.on of too
much gold in this country, nov- there
is anxiety over the increasing exports
of the standard medium of exchange.
The Inflowing tide beg;m to turn in
Xay. when we exported S::3.i7ti.l?l
more gold than- we imported, and it is
?till going out. The exports are mainly
going to Japan. Spain and .Mexico,
"Which discounts the theory that '.he
draft on our supply is being made by
the Entente government* who have es
tablished large credits here. The truer
explanation according to the American
Economist is that the shipment of gold
out of the country "is necessitated by
the balance of trade against the United
States and in favor of the countries re
ceiving the shipments." Loans to the
Allies are not drawing our gold to any
noticeable extent. These loans for the
most part remain in the United States
t$> pay what the Allies owe for our ex
ports of war supplies and foodstuffs
Jpr the European armies.
The simple truth is that wo arr- im
porting foreign merchandise at a rate
far beyond any pv<t known before.
We are importing, because of th?? l"n
derwood free trade tariff, at tho rate of
thrfee billion dollars a v*ar? a billion
and a quarter more than we ov.-r im
ported in a single year under a protec
tive tariff. That alone tells whj oar

| THE FOOD DICTATORSHIP
| rr was Senator Reed, a Democrat,
! viio made the most bitter attack >*v
j delivered <*n the administration food
i control hill, and some of the things
:lv' said about it seem to be justified
! that if goes too far towards a tyr
annous dictatorship, and in some re
Aspects is plainly unconstitutional. OT
'course' there will likely be occasion to
provide some control over food distri
bution. but i: would appear that the
i domiciliary reflations proposed by
the bill ar*> ridiculous. At least they
.;?!>? in nowise exijs^nl ?it present.
There can be no comparison of the
food supply problem in this country
wiih thru of conditions which prevail
m Europe, and one can readily ques
? r ten the wisdom of Interfering with the
law of supply and demand by attempt
ing legislative regulation of food sup
fly and prices What is most needed
is drastic laws for the punishment of
i those who gamble iti foodstuffs: those
j who conspire ;o hoard supplies for
?higher prices
! The conditions in this country are
! totally different front those in Europe,
'where food control has been found a
j necessity. There the acreage is abso
lutely circumscribed, but In this coun
try the area susceptible of cultivation
'is practically unlimited, and it is bet
Iter to talk more about the stimulation
? of food production than the question
'rf food control. But one-third of our
tillable land is now cultivated. In
creased and intensive cultivation in
it he United States would solve the food
'problem much more effectively than
1 1- ny legislation that has yet been pro
posed.

THE FINAL RECKONING
So far as the United States is con
cerned we are in this war for no self
; j. h purpose, and in the ti tinl reckoning
:we shall expect nothing but peace?
? el) assured peace. With the other bel
ligerents it is different. The futility of
("peace without victory." or of peace
?without annexations or indemnities,"
as some of the Russians are now put
ting it, is shown by the inspired out
igivings of the Austrian press. These
editors are setting forth the aims of
! Austria-Hungary in the..- war. These
comprise the disappearance of Serbia,
j the control of the Balkan Peninsula,
| the curtailment of Italian territory
; fjid whacking indemnities.
? It is not to be supposed that Aus
tria's ally will he more generous. A
nation that mulcted France in 1871
[tor an indemnity twice the amount of
J the cost of the war and that kcp>. an
! army on French soil until the las*
j pfenning was paid, is not likely to
pocket her own war expenses now, in
? case she happens to be victorious.
! The word "indemnity" may not be em
ployed; we may speak of '?compensa
tion'' instead. The word "annexation"
may not be even whispered; the talk
may be of "readjustment" instead.
But the end of the war will find the
victorious ready with their claims
'a1.: but the United States. We shall be
'seeking no man's land, demanding n?.
m. -iii's money. W'e shall ask only that
i v,e be given assurance of peace and
? the liberty to uo on with our own task
j without the menace of war. W'e shall
j desire to have repaid the loans which
we have made to our allies, of course:
jve shall not be finicky if repayment
'is made from moneys taken from the
! defeated Central Powers.

BACK TO BEET SUGAR
' in a report on the heft, sugar indus
try in the United States the Federal
Trade Commission finds that the man
ufacture of beet sugar had developed
f;om three mills in 1S70 to seventy
! eight mills -in 1014, which is the last
I vear covered by the investigation. In
i 1 9 1 4 these mills produced 700.000 tons
'of beet sugar, or 1G per cent of the
j country's consumption for that year,
jynd 1914 was a bad year ror the beet

'tariff duties and because sugar was
? scheduled for the free list in May,

Dhishma the crcat hero of the .Ma- <
habharata and Bhlshma on w ho.se ex
ploits every Hindu lad is nourished,!
thus lays down the laws of fair tight..
"With one wounded, with one who has'
lost his sword, with one yielding, with
woman or with a low vulgar fellow do
not battle."
What sympathy could t h? re possibly
be b-tween those who are nourished on
that ideal and those who did noi scru
ple for i he sake of rightfulness to d>
scenil to mere child murder'.'
It is not too much to .-ay that all .
eiiancy of a real rising against rule,
vanished with the first Zeppelin raid,
'it Scarborough. Those ten child vic
tims wantonly killed in an undefended
town sounded the death knell of ail
Herman hopes in India. I'or children
there a iv almost sacrosanct.
Ask any magistrate of experiences
how many offenses against children he
has tried in his term 'of service and
many will answer none. This is due
largely to the intense desire for race
preservation which brings their par
ents together, but it is also flue to a
love of the child, as a child, which it
equaled, cannot be exceeded in any
part ol the world. It is love thai, is
almost insensate since to Km a child,
even when it is naughty, is held, even
by men, to be a crime. ?
Such horrors, t Inn. as the deliber
ate sinking of the Lusitania with its
needless ineffectual cruelty in women ,
and children must and do range every
Indian who knows of them on ihe side,
of Great Britain, for with all her faults,
and they arc many, the ruled in India
have learnt by long experience that |
their rulers are en the whole just and
merciful men whose beliefs rest on the
same foundation as their own.
German propagandists doubt loss
claim to be the same: hut the evidence
is against them; and "by their works
ye -shall know them."
