BILE IN the South than in the North
when conducted on an economical
and thorough system of diversified
farming, that many thousands of
their frlends-farmers and capital
ists--are following them. They
can buy these fertile and produc
tive lands. equipped for farming, at
$40 per acre, against 1925 per acre
tor Illinois farms, which, farmed
under their splendid economical
system, only brings rental of Is
per acre. The prices of these ILL.
nois farms are not too high. The
renters there are making mouey
and buying farms from the accru.
ing profits. The value of Lou,sl-
ana lands has been discovered by
these thrifty Northern farmers.
and values will soon .equalize, and
farms will sell at 500 to $50 per
acre. Then it will be hard for the

This is best accomplished by the free

GAINES TO GO

West Virginia Congressman Has Bill
to Introduce For Punishment of
Those Who Bribe.

WASHINGTON. d. c., Jan. o
Representative Joseph Holt Gaines,
of West Virginia, chairman of the
committee on election of President,
Vice President and Representatives
in Congress, is giving serious consid-
Grafton to President Roosevelt's rec
ommendation that a law be passed
aimed at Furnishing bribery and other
species of fraud in federal elections.
gether to give the matter formal con-
sideration.
Mr. Gaines could not, of course.
speak for the committee. He does
not know what action 1t will take. AS
to his own views, he expressed them
freely. His idea is that the Joy bill
in the Fifty-seventh Congress, and
the Bonynge bill, now pending before
this committee, will be made the ba-
sis of legislation carrying out Presi-
dent Roosevelt's recommendation.
Neither of these bills seeks to ere
ate any new federal election machin-
cry, but both aim to make crimes
punishable by the United States
courts. violation of State election
laws.
AS Mr.. Gaines views it, we need
civil conscience to enforce the laws
against frauds on elections more than
we need new laws. The Presidents
recommendation, Mr.. Gaines says,
is that both parties to election bri-
berry be punished. if carried out in
law. would secure immunity to both.
for nobody could get evidence of a
conclusive character in such cases.
But If a law were passed disfran-
chising the voter who sold his vote,
it would rid the country of the pur-
chasable electorate.

FOR EIGHT O'CLOCK TONIGHT
THE BILE TO BOND THE WATER
WORKS IS TO BE UP FOR
AMENDMENT.
TT IS SUGGESTED THAT THE FIG
uREs BE 100000 INSTEAD
OF $15o,ooo.

a special meeting of city council
has been called for 8 o'clock this
evening to make an amendment to
the bin prepared by special commit
tee TO present to the Legislature TO
mortgage the city water works. 1t
is quite a surprise that the meeting
should be called at such late hour, as
1T was supposed that City Solicitor
Stanley would leave this evening for
the capital Members of the body
were not notified until late hour
this afternoon, and several of them
seemed to be as much in the dark
regarding the matter as the average
citizen.
While the Mayor ordered the call 1t
is not known who is responsible for
the reconsideration, and the general
opinion is that an engineer who has
carefully gone over the situation sug-
gested that at least $5o.ooo.Oo addi-
tional to the original $150,000.0o
would be needed and that certain
city officials were converted TO the
belief. AS this is an extremely i'm
portant meeting it is thought that
every member OF the body now in
The city will attend.

VARSITY WON
w. v. U. Boys Piled Up Big Score
Against the Big Eastern Five.

On Saturday evening at Morgan
town, w. V. U. defeated the Big East
ern Five, of Pittsburg, 62 to 16. This
is one of the largest scores run up
in basket ball in its history in this
section, and demonstrates the ability
of the varsity. A few weeks ago the
local Y. NJ. c. A. suffered defeat at
the hands of the collegians, 62 to Is,
and it would have been much smaller
had the local players known the con-
dition of the floor.
The university management wants
game with the local association for
next Friday night, and the matter is
being considered. The main trouble
is that we have no floor suitable for
the game, but it is thought that a
large room can be secured at Monon-
gah and it is likely that the game
will be booked. There is Just one
thing about it, and that is that the
Fairmont Y. NJ. c. a. will have to
have a larger gymnasium and in the
near future, too. The present quar-
ters are too small to hold any sort
of an inloor meet.
