THE CHINESE FAMINE.

In this country the extent of the suf- fering caused by the Chinese famine resulting from the floods of last sea son cannot be realized. We would first have to understand the densely popu- lated district on which the plague of famine is laid and the entire absence Of means of transportation by which relief might be brought from other regions of the empire even if it might be spared. The American National Red Cross continues its appeal for aid for the relief of the millions of suffer CTS who must be helpless for months and whose existence depends upon the charity of the world. Secretary Chas L. Magee of the Red Cross. describing the horrors of the famine, says:
 "In a district about two hundred miles in length and one hundred miles in width on each side of the Grand canal, a total of forty thousand square miles. the crops have been almost totally destroyed and in the country beyond only partial crops have been saved. It is certain that One-half or two-thirds of the population of ten ar fifteen millions of the affected region will be on the verge of starvation dur ing the winter and tens of thousands must perish unless help is given. Thousands of houses have also been destroyed and men. women and chill dren by tens of thousands have left their homes to beg elsewhere. Some throw their children into the water and then commit suicide. others are selling their children for almost nothing Farmers are forced to sell their work animals to buy food and have no wheat to plant next years crop. Hundreds are already dying from famine and fever in their desc late and foodless homes There is no hope of relief before the ripening of the new crops next June and the con dition of these millions in the flooded country will be indescribably awful during the winter. The need Is so urgent that the response for aid should be generous and prompt to mitigate the sufferings of these starving multi tudes."

THE TIME TO DO IT.

one of the things the legislature should do should be 10 pass law authorizing the board of control to procure the printing of the reports of territorial officials to the governor some time in advance of the assemb ling of the legislature. These reports are submitted to the governor in proper time but there is no way of getting them before the legislature along with the recommendations contained in them save m the message of the gov ernor. which thus becomes unneces- sarily voluminous. Thus the legisla- tors are without opportunity to make an intelligent study of the reports and it is doubtful if one in five of the law makers can fasten upon any fact. however important it may be. in con nection with the affairs of the terri torial offices.
 Under the present awkward arrange ment the printing of the reports is authorized after the converting of the legislature. By the time they are ready for distribution the session is well along and most Of the recom- mendations. however important they may be. go unheeded- The legislature closes without a general dissemination of official information among the mem bers.
 For all practical purposes the reports might better not be printed at all than to be printed as they are now re- quired by law. The great expense of printing them might be saved. But if they were issued in printed form. say shortly before the assembling. of the legislature. distributed among the members elect, discussed widely by the people and the newspapers. the mem bers would come together. at the begin l ming of the session with fairly clear impression of territorial needs. As it | is now. the average member goes away !. on the night of the adjournment with | oHt such an impression.

INCREASING COST oF LIVING.

The Bureau of Labor at Wash
ington has just issued a statement
showing the increased cost of liv-
ing the past two years. Every
housekeeper in the country has
known for some time that the cost
of living was gradually climbing,
but the Bureau of Labor has fur
nished statistical information on
the subject. The Bureaus sta
tistics relate to wholesale prices.
Retail prices are now being tabu-
lated and compared. The increase
in cost of 258 commodities IN 1906
over 1905 was more than 81 per
cent, and compared with 1907
the rise amounts to 364 per cent
considerably more than one-third.
The commodities include food,
clothing, implements and utensils
and building material.

vile American as pretext for q
very wholesome sermon. Peters
merely lived beyond his means, q
thing that hundreds of young men,

He rented automobiles, played So

"What fool Peters was, to be

too-are travelling the road which
leads to one of two things-the
prison or poverty. Nashville, like
Chattanooga and every other city.
has it's share. They live beyond
their means. They squander where
they should save. We've heard of
men, and women, too, in this town
who have mortgaged their homes
IN order to secure automobiles.
These reports may not be true, but
we are inclined to believe them
true.
How much better it would be,
how much more satisfactory, how
easier on the conscience and the
mind if every man and woman
endeavored to put aside their van.

true selves.
Good society, the meeting and
mingling with people of culture

pleasure to all, but even the de-
sire for these should not lead men

beyond ones means is bound to

CAPT. JOHN X. THOMPSON,

1t is with relief that we turn from
discussions of candidates for gov
ernor, auditor, secretary of state,
treasurer and other state officers to
one for a position of less prominence
but equal responsibility-the House
of Delegates.
More and more it is becoming the
rule Of the Republican party to send
to the lower House men with no
other recommendation for their pre-
ferment than their desire to hold Of
hce. Ability and fitness, have, there
fore, become the exception rather
than the rule and the result is, as
was SO apparent during the last leg
lslatlve session, that the people 8
money IS wasted NY incompetents be-
cause Of the lack of a leader of the
majority able to cope with the oppo-
sltlon. The Advocate, therefore.
heartily endorses the movement in
augurated by the Putnam Herald to
send up the best that county affords
l.,
instead Of being, as it is, confined to
few communities.
Says the Herald:
THE Herald from time to time
has been presenting to the people OF
TINS county the names Of such re-
publicans as were, in our opinion,
best fitted and qualified for the var
lous public positions to be filled at
the election to be held next year.
we 40 this for the reason that we be-
lleVe 1t to be our duty, to bring to
the attention Of the people Of the
county the very best men that can
DE round to fill these positions. And
among all the offices to be filled in
mat election, none is Of more i'm
DortaDcc to the people of this county
ana the state, than that Of house Of
delegates. This office has always
Deeh an important one, but at no
Tune has it been Of such pressing inn
poTIahce TO the people as now. The
next legislature will have much to do
reltNRvc to the Virginia debt question,
ana the people should be represented
III that body by men Of sound ability
ana sterling honesty. The repub1i-
can party has q majority in the
county, therefore, it is probable that
the republican candidate, should he
measure up to the requirements, will
be elected. The party owes it to the
Whole people Of the county to nomi-
nate for this office the very best
man. And, in our opinion, this man
is Capt. John K. Thompson, former
member Of the county court, and ex-
| united States marshal for the South
ern district of West Virginia. He
possesses that clear, sound judgment
and ability which would enable him
to see the right in ali matters, and
he has that rugged honesty to do
the right at all times and under, all
circumstances. BE l5hae been before

Nor has the domestic side Of life

town is situated on the banks OF

tul and picturesque streams Of West
Virginia, long famed for it's excel
lent trout fishing. The location is
beautiful beyond description, and in
summer the climate is delightful, the
altitude being 1900 feet above sea,

peak in West Virginia rises to an
altitude of $500 feet. Pleasant
homes, with all modern conven-

is such that those of tenderest nur-
