Now that congress is going to investi-
gate the high cost of living, what do you
suppose we shall find out about the
cause of the increase in prices? One ex-
pert says it is due to the greatly increas-
ed production of gold. Another expert
SAYS that it is due to six causes, of which
the increase in gold is only one. Few OF
the experts agree on the matter, and not
many of them even venture TO stae the
cause. If congress can give us an au-
thoritative explanation of the matter, it
will be worth while.

Which would you rather be, citizen
of the great German empire, which is

whose neutrality is guaranteed by the

At the recent meeting of the Maine
Press Association, in view of the fact
that some of the members were not
fully informed regarding certain law
passed by the legislature last winter,
one man expressed the opinion that any
publisher who issued the sheet of laws
ought to know what was in them. Still,
that's hardly reasonable proposition,
when you consider the enormous bulk of
those laws. Indeed, the general public
has Just discovered law passed by the
legislature which some are inclined to
term "joker." II amends the liquor
nuisance law so as TO provide that in
case of the imposition of fine in a
liquor nuisance case, the additional term
in Jail, in case of non-payment OF fine,
shall be only thirty days, whereas for
merly it could be more. 1t is TO be not
ed, however, that the maximum term of
one year in Jail has not been changed,
and there is nothing to prevent the
Judge making the Jail part of the SEN
teuce as large as before.

new PRESIDENT
ELECTED FOR VIRGINIA VALLEY LEAGUE
JOHN c BOND OF CHARLESTON.
at an adjourned meetino of the d.

At an adjourned meeting of the d.
rectors of the Virginia Valley base
ball league held at the Frederick no
tel in this city shortly after eo'clock
this morning, the resignation of Jno.
A. Spinny, of Cincinnati, as,presi-
dent of the league was received and
accepted and John C. Bond, well
known newspaper man of Charleston
was unanimously elected president.
The retirement of Spinney and the
election of Bond will mark an epoch
in the base ball history of Hunting
ton, as it means the ending of the
baseball war that has been waged
during the present season between
the teams representing the Mountain
State Athletic Association and the
Huntington League company. VIM.
Seiber president of the Mountain
State team, will become stockhold-
er in the local team and the two ag-
gresations will be merged into fast
league team. The best material will
be picked out of both teams and
Huatingt N will oe given team that
will no doubt be winner in the
league race. As is well known by
the general public, the fight that has
been waged between the two teams
has been a losing one for both teams,
rs well as the hundreds ofenthusiastic
base ball fans in Huntington and nov
that the battle is over and the peace
document will soon be signed, sigh
of relief will come, and bring with it
great favor among Huntingtonians.
Mr.. Spinney was the originator of
the Virginia Valley league and has
always had its interests at heart.
However, the fact that he is tied up
in his business affairs in Cincinnati
Kept him from taking any active
part in the management. He most
heartily rendered his resignation,
when he learned that it would be
for the best interest of the league
and in this, is to be heartily com
mended. The new headquarters of
the league will be at Charleston,
where Mr.. Bond resides. In addi-
ton to the duties of president, Bond
viii also look after the secretary
responsibilities and this will be quite
a saving for the league. He will as
sumo the duties of the presidency
Immediately. - Huntington-Herald
