What the effect OF the pure food
law will be remains to be seen.
There is no question about Its being
quite drastic. The result depends
largely upon the effort to observe
and enforce it. Prosecuting attor-
neys are given the right-not only
given It but 1t is made their duty
TO enter and search. This partcu-
lar provision like all others in the
law is designed, or rather intended,
to protect the unsuspecting and help
less public. After all no matter how
good the law is Its efficacy depends
largely upon its observance, and, II
1t is the sense OF the people of the
State that such law should be, il
certainly is the bounden duty Of
dealers and prosecuting attorneys to
see that the law is effective in pre-:
serving high standard of food
sthffs.

ginians as the ideal candidate for
governor, has definitely refused to
become a candidate. This decision
has been reached BY Mr.. Dillon after
very careful consideration OF the
present situation. 1t is no secret
that Mr.. Dillon was strongly urged
to enter the race, and received the
most encouraging tenders OF support
from nearly every county in the
state. In this section of West vir-
ginia particularly, Mr.: Dilion's splen-
did services and engaging personality
had made a deep impression, and his
candidacy would have been warmly
received.
''The refusal OF Mr.. Dillon to en-
ter the race probably means that the

Taft Upholds Honesty.

In his Boston speech Secretary
William H. Taft, whose name is on
most every tongue for the Presi-
dency of the United States, uttered
the following forcible sentences,
which ought to appeal to every
American, who has honesty of pur-
pose. good government and justice
to all at heart:
The business men in the past have
sympathized with the effort to eradi-
cate from the business system of this
country the influence and control OF
those who have achieved success by
Illegal methods. Is all tAis to be
changed by the panic? Is IT pro-
posed, because of it, to repeal the
rate bin? Shall we dismiss the pro-
secutions for violations OF the anti
trust law? Shall we permit and en-
courage rebates and determinations
by railways? Is this the condition
of sanity to which we are invited to
return? Shall we join in the sheer
at the fight of the administration for
honesty and legality in business as
a youthful attempt at an alleged
moral regeneration OF our business
system? No panic, however severe,
can make wrong right. No men who
sincerely believed the administration
right in its measures to punish viola
lions of law can now be turned from
the earnest support of that policy to-
day.

And now our venerable uncle out
at Parkersburg says the rivers and
harbors committee has nothing to
do with it-that is, the selection OF
the nominee for Congress in that
district-but the signs all point to
the certainty that even the State
Journal before this time next year
will be telling its readers that 1t has
great deal to do with it-not the
State Journal particularly, but the
rivers and harbors committee.

the story" Just what he is driving
at no one knows, and certainly no
one expected all these to happen at
Morgantown between midnight and
daylight. They are not, usually so
swift as all that down in the big uni
versity city.

ACTIVITY in Indpstriol Lines.

AS the new year opens there come
more tidings OF renewed activity in
Industrial lines, and, logically, this
is to be followed or accompanied by
revival in commercial transactions.
1t does every American heart good
to read such dispatches as the fol.
lowing sent out from Connellsville,
Pa, and none read it and then con-
clude that the country has gone to
the bad:
Prom an official source 1t is
learned that the II. c. Prick Coal
Company expects to fire fully 1000
ovens in the Connellsville and Lower
Connellsville regions within the next
week or ten days. 1t is said that
this has become necessary by the re
sumption OF a number of steel mills.
Several of the Frick plants which
have worked only two days last week
will run i've days this week. A
number OF the independent compan.
les will also resume, 1t is said.
AT many of the furnaces and
mills of the United States Steel Cor.
poration there are preparations fol
an early resumption. This day .
week is set as the time OF resumption
at many of the corporation plants
When the mills resume. of course,
number Of furnaces will be blown in
which in turn will be OF direct bene
fit to the coke workers"

From some sources the howl goes
up every once a quarter, new moon
or a change in climatic conditions
against the foreigners. Right now
there is one going up from some OF
the industrial sections because SC
many OF them have returned to the
old country and are not upon the
grounds 10 help revive the work Of
the mills, the factories and the coke
ovens. This proves that old saying
about missing one when he is gone.
