The death of this well known pioneer will be learned with sorrow, taking away as it does one of the most exceptional of men in official integrity of other days. and one of the most worthy citizens. In the hope that a change of climate might effect a desired change for the better, he was taken to the lower elevation few years ago, but the progress of his afflie

There was one passage FL the pres
ident's address on the trusts Monday
which in particular will bear much
repeating \
1t needed these two great decis-
ions to teach the public that at
least not in the supreme tribunal Of
this country would the claim be lis
tened to, that IN this day and gener-
alton We rave passed beyond the
possibility of free competition as
consistent with proper business
growth, or that we have reached a
time when only regulated monopoly
and the fixing of prices by govern
mental authority are consistent with
future progress. We did get along
with competition; we can get along
with it. We did get along without
monopoly; We can get along with
out it; and the business men OF this
country must square themselves to
that necessity Either that, or We
must proceed to state socialism AND
vest the government with power TIC
run every business Precisely That
is coming down to the plain facts in
the case and is somewhat better
logic than we should have expected.

HON. THOMAS f. HODGES.
Lett Him Lead Nest Virginia Out
nf the Wilderness.


Of the Wilderness.
1t is fortunate for the educa-
tional interests of West Virginia
that a man of such character as
Thomas +. Hodges is to be at their.
head,
He at once inspires every one
who desires West Virginias school
system to be equal to the best
He is a man OF the people, and
fine people believe in him. They
feel that as the head of the Uni
versity the affairs OF the institution
will be economically and rightfully
administered, so far as his author
lily goes.
They know that Christian char
acter viii be the. object of the insti-
tuition, in SO far as President
..odges can accomplish it.
We look for an area or prospect
ty for the West Virginia University
under him-Tygarts Valley News.
We have never met Thomas E.
Hodges, but from what we have
heard OF him he must be a great
and good man. All with whom we
have talked and know Mr.. Hodges
claim that ne is the man to lead
West Virginia into straighter paths
Of political life. West Virginia
needs a great and pure leader and
it has been said that Hodges is the
man. Can he not be inauced to rise
TO the occasion and lead his people
ont of the wilderness? 1t is said
that he has the intellect and all the
other necessities. The people in
this end OF the State are looking
for such a man and would rally
aroun4 the Hodges standard in num-
bers that would make him nation
| all figure in short order.

Kentucky an EARLY Coal Produce,

htHtuNNJ an ANdFIy Wal EOuuCCE.
So far as the records of early coal
production in the United States are
to be accepted, Kentucky was the
third state to enter the list of reg
ufar coal producers. According to
one of the early reports of the KeB-
lucky Geological Survey, published
in 1898, the first coal produced IN
the state was mined in 1927 on the
right side of the (Cumberlard)
river below the mouth of Laurel"
The same report says that in 1928
five boat loads of coal from these
mines arrived at Nashville, and that
from 1929 to 1884 probably from rs
to IS boat loads were sent out each
year The boat loads averaged about
1,750 bushels, or 66 tons each.
