From glance at this table it will
be seen that poultry compares favor
ably with other flesh foods. Since
each individual differs from other
individuals In powers of digestion.
figures OF this sort cannot represent
exact amounts Of nourishment that
each individual would get from food.
However, as far as We know, these
variations are comparatively slight
among normal persons. Hence the

WHO shonId pnr

During JOIN NJ. Hamilton's cam.
paign In the Fourth congressional
district for Congress, it was
heralded that that gentleman had
picked up something new, namely,
that the federal government should
pay the old Virginia debt. Many
thought he had made a discovery.
Without meaning any disrespect,
the Telegram ventures the assertion
that Mr.. Hamilton ran across the
idea in James G. Blalne's book
called Twenty Years in Congress. :
NO particular furore was created
by the announcement Of HamIlton's
belief in this respect at the time. but
his resurrection OF the great states
mans idea is beginning 10 attract
serious thought ana there are many
who favor that disposition OF the
question. The latest of the states
legislators to take this view OF the
Yexatious problem is septimius Hall.
OF Wetzel county. He says:
There is merit in that argument.
The United States ought to do some.
thing toward restoring Virginia in
the condition she was In at the out
break OF the war. There are prece-
dents for such action, and while do
not know that any such step is CON
templated. II would not surprise me
II an effort is made to induce the
federal government TO pay all or q
part OF, the debt Of Virginia.
1T was after the close or the
war; Mr.. Hall continues to relate,
that Virginia arbitrarily set aside
one-third OF her debt as the sum
that West Virginia should pay.
There was feeling in this state at
that time that we owed some part
OF Virginia's debt, matter OF pos
stbly million or two, and that SEN
timent found expression in what is
known as the Ninth Ordinance adopt
ed by West yirginia's constitutional
convention. Our constitution con-
ta1ns precision that the state shall
not incur aag debt except in time OF
war; to meet casual deficit, or to
pay a liability previously incurred
The last mentioned provision is gen.
orally understood to have applied to
the states share OF the Virginia
debt"

that prohibition Is dead issue
wherever the Law is in force. He
added that it has been q failure and
q farce in Maine and the same Is
true of Gsorgias experiment,
Governor Plaisted, recently elected
governor of Maine. largely owes HE
election to the conditions prevailing
In an alleged prohibition state.
where the liquor trafnc vas without
regulation and where the author
tiles COPIED with II unnecessarily
under prohibition law. It is OBJ
served that similar paralyzsd con
ditions prevail In Georgia.
That q man elevated to the high
position of governor OF one Of the
sovereign states of the union would
go through the country With lie on
his tongue concerning the conditions
in his own state is not to be gwen
credit. No matter what may be the
politics OF the governors Of the
states, the American people have
too much confidence in men OF such
high station to believe that they
would purposely circulate false
hoods about their own states. who
believes that Governor Glasscock
would go Into another state and in
public address deliberately lie
about his own state and especially
tell something that would be harm
ful to West Virginia?
1t seems. then. that even the
skeptic must take Governor Plalsted
at his word, however much he de-
plores the fact that prohibition is a
failure and a farce. With that
state having prohibition laws
twenty years there wac not a mere
experiment there. /; went beyond
that. and IL Maine could not be-
come prohibition in twenty years.
why should any other state expect
TO be that way?
Prohibition in reality doubtless
would be OF great beneat to the ma
ton put the sort OF prohibition that
has existed in several OF the states
is not good thing.

"old Time Religion. y

Fearing some remarks made by
the Pan Handle News have escaped
the attention OF the Charleston Ca
zette, the Telegram obliges the lat
ter newspaper BY: reproducing them
as follows;
II the Charleston Gazette is
making anything by assailing the
Monroe Waterman and Greenlbrier
Independent We have been unable to
see it. Whenever an attempt is
made to questions the Democracy Of
these journals-which we know to
be time-tried and true-the accom-
plishment is in vain. These
journals have been honest expo
nents of Democratic principles and
are still voicing the sentiments OF
Greenbrler and Monroe counties as
we'll as the mass OF Democrats over
the state. We suggest that the
Charleston Gazett pause and con-
slider. Is 1t the GreenBrier indie
pendent and Monroe Waterman that
have gone astray or is It some other
Journals that have and are departing
from the faith as has been handed
down from antiquity The Green
brier Independent and Monroe
Watchman are papers ably edited
and honest in their convictions and
because they are note edited at
Charleston or ractionally controlled
is no reason why they do { known
and publish the facts.
Our sentiments are those Of the
old time religion, "it's good enough
for us."

well as the comfort OF his old age,
president Diaz should retire from
the. presidency and open the way
for the reorganization OF the govern
ment in the direction OF such re-
forms as he has acknowledged might
be proataibly inaugurated. HIS re-
tention of the presidency keeps the
maicontents from having faith in
the sincerity of reforms promised
upon the condition OF laying down
arms, says the Baltimore Ameri-
can.
President Diaz has long been the
dictator OF his country. He has
done most benevolent service and
his record is untainted by graft. So
that there is every reason for him
TO feel that his laurels are safe and
could he furnished only by his in
sIstence upon retaining the place of
power after he has lost
his initiative and no longer
has grip upon affairs. The
United states would welcome
his retirement. as thus the way
would be paved for the paciacation
Of the country and the Inauguration
Of a new government.
aside from the justice or other
wise OF the revolt, that revolt is
spreading. and there is every indlca-
ton OF long continued warfare in
the land. The one obstruction to
peace seems to DO the presidency.
and the retention of office by its in-
cumbent will surely lead to the un.
doing of much OF the work that has
made the long rule OF President
Dlaz illustrious. For this reason
the aged administrator should feel
that he has duty to his country
and TO his own fame 10 retire with
out admitting the soundness of the
demands of the reyolutionlsts that
he do SO.
