meet with the Chesapeake and Ohio

be part of the general grand scheme

West Virginia's Wealth.
II Is well known that millions of
tons of Wet Virginia coal might
easily be added to the annual tom
mage which now goes out of that
section. The mining capacity of
West Virginia has hardly been touch
ed yet. The output Of the state
might easily be doubled in five years
II an outlet for the coal should be
made in the middle west and north
west. For some unexplained reason
chesapeake and Ohio has not en-
couraged development in this d rec
ton. Hawley is known to feel diff
erenty toward the West Virgin a

found for all the Goals mined in
west Virginia. 1t is only a matter
OF transported on and rates can be
made which will give the West Vir-

SPEED REGULATIONS.

In his annual message TO the eoun-

had the following to say in regard
to a much needed restriction IN the
speed at which motor driven vehicles
are propelled over the city streets:
Il also recommend the adoption OF
an ordinance limiting the speed Of
automobiles and carriage driving
upon the streets of the city. and also
an ordinance providing for all We
hicles to drive TO the right az all

or fine for violation of either of such
ordinances"

Education does not necessarily produce
good people. While mental enlightenment
will lift people out Of low and base condi-
tons into refinement of living, it does not
always elevate them morally. The form Of
evil may change and the conditions of vice
be improved, but evil lives may continue
upon higher planes Of intelligence. Great
crimes are not limited to the ignorant and
degraded. Under the cover of refinement
people of the higher grades of society are
guilty of the bascst crimes against their
fellow men. Philosophical discussions and
