S.one,s Attitude.

Insurrecto victories in Mexico
have already changed the relations
/ as to the United States. Doubtless
there will be but little more fighting
along the border and thus extra
ordinary measures to protect Amer
lean life on American soil may not
be necessary.
There has been some loss OF
American life, fact that is to be
greatly deplored. Had American
troops not been there, doubtless
there would have been an appalling
loss. The plan suggested by Sena-
tor stone in this respect would
doubtless have precipitated serious
consequences. Senator Stone states
that he had not proposed an inya-
sion of Mexico with the object of re-
manning, but merely to dispatch n.
force across the line sufficient to &C
complish the end in view and then
retire.
That certainly would have
plunged this country into Immediate
war, as pointed out by Senator
Bacon of Georgia, who insists thai
the Mexican government has right
to exercise its authority, even
though in doing so it should en-
danger the lives of persons on this
SIDE OF the international line He
declared that If the situation were
reversed and Ell Paso we're in the
hands of a mob, the American gov
ernmeut would have a riTht to queil!
the disturbance, regardless Of condi-
lions In Mexico. Both he and Mr..
Works declared that intervention to-
protect a few lives on the border
would probably mean the sacrihceI
of far greater number of lives of
Americans in the interior of Mex
leo.
The United States could not well
send troops into Mexico without
taking one side or the other of the
pending conflict, and Mr.. Bacon con-
tended that in any event the adop-
ton of Stones resolutions would be
a declaration of war.
Tt certainly is clearly pointed out
that stones changing of attitude to-
ward president Tafts course in re-
spect to the Mexican troubles is a re-
suit of undue haste on his part and
without enough thought to charac-
terize 1t as even slightly sane.

when doctors disagree it is per-
picking for the plain people to de-
eide. woodrow Wilson, in the first
speech during his western invasion,
is confident that we are embarking
on "a new political era promising
much for the welfare of the nation "
IeaninE?-simply that to make
sue of salvation, says the Pittsburg
Dispatch, the Democratic party needs
must nominate the governor of New
Jersey and all will be well.
william J. Bryan meantime is
moved to observ that the spe-

control of the Democratic party
He declares that they hope to
nominate for president a reaction

the talk nowadays Is that this re

can only conclude that in order to
circumvent Wall street good and

The iatest attack ~ Chflton's

sThe Wheeling Inteiligencer says
that Senator George Bland repre-

-aThis Is certainly true. The so

not Of the kind that are working 81

Tho Fly and Filth.

Uncle Presley Morris, OF the Par
kersburg State Journal. who ex-
pressed a few doubts some time ago
in regard to certain alleged charac-
teristics of the common house fly,
is now quite positive that the way to
eradicate the fly nuisance Is not by
killing the pest. His attention was
turned to the subject by long art!-
Gle, widely published in the newspa-
pers several days ago, on Swat the
Fly" and after INDUCING in a little
irony he declares in the state
Journal that swatting the fly Is fool
ishness:
sure. the thing to do is to swat
the hy!' More should be done to
him. He should be hung up by the
neck till he has no power to shoot
on his bacteria or disseminate dis
ease and destroy the human race.
Every fly in the world should be
hung. 1t isn't enough to merely
strike at him with the napkin or
shoot him with newspaper. Hang
him, burn him, chop him up with
axes, turn all the cannon in Ameri-
ca, Europe, Asia and Africa on him.

the Increased valuation of farm

Eldridge, and he pointed out that

renders itself at the mercy of the

on the solution OF this great eco
nomIc question. Mr.. Stewart advo-
Gated the establishment of a county
organization, similar to the Clarks-
burg Board of Trade, for the pro-
motion OF the good roads movement
and emphasized the necessity OF
united action and increased inter

ont his statement. At the rate OF
So an acre, fifty million dollars
could be added to the wealth of the
state, which would more than pay
for the improvements; and at the
same rate the wealth of this county
could be enhanced nearly 100000
1T is a general rule. declared Mr..
:Eldridge, that better roads are
more than paid for by the increased
valuation made by them.
Bond Issue Urged.
In urging the issuance of bonds
the speaker said a levy OF 10 cents
would be sufficient for all present
needs in this county as only the
main roads, which bear the most OF
the travel anyway. would n'SSe to be
improved; and by so doing the cost
of construction could be cheapened
and the people could be using the

a levy would pay the interest on the
bonds and provide a sinking fund

woman suRrage-L!mited,


The present british ministry has
evidently decided to try the eifect of
a very limited sort of woman suf-
frage upon the suffrasettes. The pro-
gress OF a Dali now pending in the
House of Commons. notes the Cleve-
land Leader, practically insures the
enactment OF a law which will give
the ballot to women who are
..househoiders. Under its provision
married women, possessed of the
necessary properly qualifications
can vote, but not IN the same d.
visions or districts. as we say in
this country, where the husbands e1-
ercise the right OF suffrage.
Possibly the militant leaders OF
the movement for woman suffrage
viii accept this very limited form OF
the privilege they demand. taking 1t
as an entering wedge in their strug-
gle for national suffrage. on equal
terms with men. Perhaps Their
method of attack upon the author
tiles viii be modified and made less
vehement and spectacular. But this
s. doubtful. They are not in the
mood to be thankful for small Ia
vors. Neither is there any sign that
many of them are weary of the kind
OF activity and publicity which some
have seemingly enjoyed.

Light for Drugs.
The split log drag viii work won
ders to dirt roads. declared Mr..
Light. If two bundled. farmers
should use properly constructed log
drags every little while on dirt
roads of the county, the problem
would be well on the way toward So
luton. The great trouble Is in the
failure OF farmers to realize their
obligation in this respect He cited
the case of one Harrison county far
mer who came to Clarksburs with
light wagon hauled by a team of
horses, and with no load to speak
of, who might have hauled a split
log drag one mile along the road
going to Clarksburg and then back
to his farm on the return trip, with
out a bit OF trouble
The speaker showed how the split
Jog drag should be constructed and
operated and warned against itsI
use on stone roads. Dirt roads
ought to be hlled UP With dirt and
stone roads with stone, as when the
two were mixed nothing but mud
puddles would result.

Have Hopes for Lakes-to-Gulf Canal

cal interests affected. No such provt-
sion is put In with respect to the inves-
tigation of the proposed canal connect
ing Lake Erie with Lake Michigan.
BY the terms of the new rivers and
harbors bill, the waterways commits
sion is to have two years from the
4th Of March in which to investigate
these projects. In making the investi.
cations the commission is authorized
to call upon the engineer corps of the
army to furnish data.
Nearly every observer with a large
range of vision is convinced that Soon
er or later, a canal connecting Lake
Erie with the lower end of Lake
Michigan will be built, and that a
canal will eventually connect Lake
Erie or Lake Michigan with the Ohio
river. Persons who have devoted some
study to this subject of artificial water
ways are disposed to believe that
when the country is ready for a canal
connecting the Ohio river with one
of the great lakes the demand will be
for a canal extending from Lake Mich
igan, through Indiana to the Ohio
river.
There are many reasons for believ.
ing that as soon as the Panama canal
waterways here at home will be under
taken on a large scale. 1t is generally
assumed that the lakes-to-the-gulf wa
terway will be the first of the projects
put through.

Uncle Sam Would Have Us Eat Venison

The flesh of young antelope is said
to be much superior to ordinary veni-
son. That of mature animals, particu-
larly the males, has a strong flavor;
but this may be greatly improved by
domestication. A full grown prong
horn weighs from 100 to 1875 pounds,
and will dress from 65 to 80 pounds.
The deer family stands next to the
cattle and sheep family in general util-
ity. The flesh is a valuable food. Ven
ison was more common than beef on
the tables of medieval Europe and was
the flesh most commonly eaten by
early settlers and frontiersmen in
North America. Its dietetic value Is
enhanced by the fact that it is espe-
cially adapted to invalids who re-
auire a nourishing, yet easily digested
food.
The American elk, with all its
claims of attention, is fast disappear
ing from the earth, with scarcely an
effort for it's preservation or domest-
cation, the department declares. By
domestication 1t does not mean SIM
ply tanning, but a course of intelligent
breeding and protection. A series OF
experiments has furnished the sci
entists with sufficient evidence to
say confidently that this business
may become of great Importance to
the country.
