OBSTACLE TO TRAVEL. "
Jefferson County Circuit Court has been
compelled to adjourn because nthe trial
OF case the Judge had permitted the
Jury TO 90 home at night, and the next
morning very worthy juryInan from the
east side has been unable to return owing
TO the condition of the river.
For over five weeks last winter not a
team could cross the Shenandoah RIVER
between Harper's Ferry and The Clarke
line. Frequent stops OF communication
occur at other seasons OF the year OWING
to high waters or high winds, which are
if anything more dangerous than hlgh
waters. Valuable lives have been ioSt
in Jefferson county among one-iliih OF
IFS country population because a physl-
clan could not cross the Shenandoah
River to administer TO the afflicted IN SER
iouS cases of sickness.
Worthy citizens among one-flfth OF
Jefferson county'S country population
have been taken sick and died without
any ministrations from minister, priest or
physician. because we have no resident

this lovely Shenandoah Valley that has
not from two to a dozen bridges across
the Shenandoah River.

DR.. HATFIELD is not having much Sue
cess in his efforts TO induce the temper
ance people to believe that he is their
friend. The fact that as a member of the
State Senate he voted against the sub
mission of the prohibition amendment
both in 1909 and in 1911 shows very
plainly the sort of temperance man that
he is, and incidentally illustrates his opin-
ion of the people themselves, namely,
that they are not qualified to vote upon
this great moral and econnmic question.

GOVERNOR WILSON in his tour through
the Western States is making the people
sit up and take notice-he is putting be-
fore them such plain, logical facts in re-
gard TO governmental policies that Pro-
gressives and Republicans are cheering
him as loudly as the Democrats. The
Governor made remarkable speeches in
Minneapolis and St. Paul yesterday. He
denied and repudiated Roosevelt's theory
that trusts and monopolies are inevitable,
and declared that they can be broken up
and real competition established. He
asserted that the monopolies are neither
efficient nor economical, because their
enormous profits do not induce economy
or demand efficiency. Roosevelt's plan
OF government regulation of trusts, he
said, is the suggestion of Judge Gary and
George w. Perkins. the active men of
the Steel Trust, and he questions plans
proposed by them. Governor Wilson
advocated laws making it a criminal Of
tense for these monopolies to go into a
community and by selling their products
below cost for time to squeeze out and
destroy small dealers.
