~ CONSERVING A NATURAL RE
r. SOURCE.

~ The all but unanimous endorse
ment By the state press of Governor
GIasScock's announcement Of his in
tention to take steps to limit as far
,aB possible the piping Of natural gas
from the state is conclusive evidence,
il any is needed, that he will have
the support of the people in his laud-
able endeavOr.
The question Of the conservation
Of our supply Of natural gas is of
special interest to the small consum-
er, to the householder to whom
cheap fuel is blessing in these days
Of high-priced necessities Of life.
To one who, with natural gas, can
light and heat his home at about
one-third the cost Of coal and oil, to
say nothing of the convenience of
gas, it is a matter of deep concern
whether or not Cincinnati, Columbus,
Cleveland, Pittsburg and other cities
outside the state shall be allowed TO
run their industries to his ultimate
detriment The same small consum-
er has also asked himself the Ques-
ton If the unrestricted piping Of gas
from the state has not already affect
ed him, in that industries, which
might have been compelled to locate
here, under present conditions, para
site like, make no returns to those
upon whom they exist.
Governor GlaSscOck purposes to
correct this evil by imposing a pro-
duction tax or by limiting the pres
cd, it is held, will either state or ma
tioEal laws allow any discrimination
in favor of home cOnSumption; the
federal law will not permit greater
perssure on the pipes supplying
home markets than those running
outside tn state. Nor can there
legally be, the wiseacres say, any
favorites in levying a production tax,
both foreign and home consumers
must share alike.
The people Of the state are not 80
particular as to the method, SO long
as the gas is kept at home. They
want to see the factories, which de-
pend upon this fuel, locate in West
Virginia and provide employment
for them, or else pay an amount into
the Golfers of the state commensu-
rate with the benefits which they now
enjoy without cost.

Evidence Of Sound Conditions.
(From Providence Jourra1.)

tFrom Providence JOurnal)
Last spring when there was talk
Of an outbreak In the anthracite re-
gion the country wondered Wat the
bother was all about. SO manifest
ly satisfactory had been the work
ing Of the three-year agreement
which brought the last great strike
to close that it seemed that only
vicious purpose to Kick up row
could explain any new controversy.
1t appeared that the main pretext
for contention was demand that g.
One-year agreement be substituted
for the longer contract; the mater
l'ial provisions were little complained
Of. President Lewis, Of the miners
! Union, had difficulty in restraining
his followers, but SO obviously was
public sentiment unfavorable to
their attitude that the expiring
agreement was finally re-adopted.
Now there comes to hand the tri-
enniai report Of the anthracite con-
Citation board to justify the i'm
preston that the contract works

upon to consider only % COM
plants; all except three Of which
were conciliated without the neces-
sity Of reference to an umpire ap-
| pointed by the court, as provided in
case the board Is divided.

This is a specialized age. The
world warts men and women who
can do some particular thing better
than anyone else can do it. The
demand is for strong minds, strong
bodies, wills to do, determination TO
push forward. Many OF the worlds
leaders have been men and women
Of little scholastic training, but they
succeeded not because, but in spite
of tue fact that their education was
limited. The risk is too great for
the, boy and girl OF today to take

n prospective postofffce deficit Of
$40, 100000, the largest in the his
tory of the department., may we'll
engage the serious attention of the
postmaster general. A drain of this
magnitude by department which
in Great Britain, France and Ger

agement is made to contribute ma
terially to government revenue, re-
Veals conditions Of extravaganza or
inefticiency urgently in need Of cor
rection.
1t has taken a fight of 40 years
to rescue the postoffice from party
politics, and even yet the victory is
by no means complete. It remains
still to effect reform Of methods
Of administration which in the light
Of the annually increasing deficit
are discreditable to a business ma
ton. The amount required to make
ends meet has not eveh.ithe excuse
Of general superiority in our postal
service oyefthat Of otfleR nations.
MIR. Hitchcock is to be commend
ed for his efforts to, modernt2e the
department, evidence of which is
the registry division now under
way. Its complete reorganization

his credit. Such a reform IS OBJ
Viously needed and is apparently
possible Of accomplishment without
impairing a service which the anti
quated methods now In use serve

am convinced that the work of
our schools is seriously discounted
by the bad physical condition in and

inevitable fact that an ideal school
house and grounds are really hard

1t is a small comfort to argue that

indecent bill boards, noxious shows

A BOOST FOR GOOD ROADS.

If the ChamBer of Commerce and
the Judges of the County Court have
their way, Kanawha County will give
a decided boost to the good roads
movement, and thereby give year
round outlet to the two districts,
which are virtually cut off from the
world about six months every year.
The plan as devised by the county
court, and endorsed by the Charles
ton Chamber Of Commerce, is to build
a good, substantial road from this
city to Sissonville, a distance of
eighteen miles. AS is right and
proper, Charleston district will be
called upon to bear the greater por-
ton of the burden of $180,000 to be
exact, Poca district, if the bond is.
sue is ratified by three-ffths Of the
voters in each of the districts af-
fected, will be assessed $4,000;
Union, $4,000, and Charleston
5000, the bonds to bear interest
at IL per cent. Charleston dis
trict would, therefore, be called
upon to pay $4,000, Union $1,000 and
Poca $500 annually as interest
which all are easily able to do; and
even If they were not, they could III
afford not to assume the burden
when each will be so largely bcpe
fitted.
The roads Of West Virginia have
long been disgrace to the state
Especially is this true Of that por
ton of them which lies in Kanawha
county. From November till mid
June and sometimes later, it is al
most an impossibility to drive five
miles beyond N5b city limits. In the
past ten years The loss to the far
mers in horse-f1esh and inability tt
reach the market, and the additional
loss to the city occasioned by the
closing OF it's f3atkets to the outlying
districts have more than euualed the
amount now called for. These facts
being borne in mind, there arc NJ
grounds for doubt that the voters o
these three districts will do thci
part in forwarding the project.

the region Of the North Pole Is d

Of any forms Of life."
In the early days Of polar elpedi-,

passage to the western ocean, but
this object was superseded long ago
