MAY RECOGNIZE CHINA
Washington Believes Adherents of Re-
public Will Win.

Washington Believes Adherents of Re-
public viii Win.
Washington, Jan. 5. - The United
States is likely to take the initiative
in recognizing the republic of China.
AT least there will be strong pressure
on the administration to do so. The
introduction of the Sulzer resolution
of recognition is viewed here as highly
significant.
The resolution is a concurrent one.
It's passage would not commit the adj
ministration to the recognition OF the
Chinese republic. At the same time its
introduction and passage or the de-
velopment of the fact that it had
strong support in congress would have
its moral effect both in China and on
the powers.
This country is in a sense the guar
dian of China-that is, it has persist
emily sought to prevent partition and
protect China against the greed OF
other powers. All the information here
tends to show that the republic will
win. Japan and Russia do not want
the republic established. The infor-
nation is that England will not stand
in the way of a republic, though it will
doubtless be lukewarm.
Under the circumstances 1t IS point
ed out among members of congress
who are keeping in close touch with
the situation. the United States ought
to give recognition early, and 1t prob
ably will The Sulzer resolution will
have strong support in both houses.

WANT ToLLeATEs ABOLISHED
and MAKE TURNPIKE FREE
Committee Of Local Autoists CO Be
fore County Court and Complain
.x rotInaFe Nuisance
Of Tollgate Nuisance.

The county court met in special ses-
sion Wednesday and held annual cleo
ton for president. Commissioner d.
q Lemaster of the Falling Waters
district, was reelected president of the
court. Some bills were also passed
this morning.
notable incident Of the session
took place this afternoon when com
mittee OF automobile owners and
others, headed by Attorney X. Poole,
come before the court and asked that
the two tollgates on the Winchester
pike between Martinsburg and the
Frederick county, Virginia. line be
abolished and the turnpike made a
free highway. The committee cited
the example, among others, Of 1eiier-
son county where there are no toll
roads and where they have better
highways than in Berkeley county;
that tollgates on public roads are a
nuisance as we'll as a burden on the
travelling public, and which have long
siace been abolished by many states
IN the Union and. indeed, in nearly
I'll OF the counties in West Virginia;
but that Berkeley county, at least in
this respect. is far behind the times
The committee further urged that the
greatest annoyances, to say nothing
OF the extra expense, to autoists at
me present day is the tollgate and it
should soon be thing Of the past in
Berkeley county
The court took the matter under
advisement. especially so in view OF
1he fact that Berkeley county owns
three-ffths of the stock of the Mar
tinsburg and Winchester Turnpike
Co, the latter owning two7ffths. 1t
viii be hoped. however, by many per-
sons whether autoists or not, that the
tollgate nuisance in this county may
soon be abolished and that all public
roads may be free as they ought to

BIDS FOR BATTLEsHIPs
Offers to Build Creadnoughts Are
Within the Limit.

Within the Limit.
Washington, Jan. Bids to build
the 27,000-ton batleships Oklahoma
and Nevada were opened.
The lowest proposals were from
the New York Shipbuilding company,
Of Camden, N. j., at $5,926,000 for one
ship, and the Fore River Shipbuilding
company, Of Quincy, Mass, at $685.
900 per ship.
These bids are within the appro-
priations by congress. 1t was feared
that the new eight-hour law for yards
building naval vessels would raise
them above the limit.
The three armor producing plants
of the country submitted practically
identical bids for supplying armor for
the navy. The Bethlehem Steel com
pany, Bethlehem, Pa; Carnegie Steel
company, Pittsburg, and the Midvale
Steel company, Philadelphia, bid 1920
a ton for 1904 tons of Glass A armor,
or 1888 per ton for 6674 tons. For
Glass B armor, amounting to 445 tons,
there was a slight difference in the
bidding, the Carnegie companys bid
being $500 a ton, the Midvale and
Bethlehem, $40. For bolts and armor
attachments, aggregating 100 tons, all
three companies bid sos per ton.

Thought From Jane Addams Which
Demonstrates It's Lasting Effect
Is Worth Consideration.

A mother croons an old-time song as
she tolls. A father speaks kindly as
home from work he crosses the
threshold which leads to wife and rest
from labor. The child-the stepping
stone between mother and father, the
connecting link-hears both song and
gentle word.
The father, still toll stained, wheth-
er he comes from field or shop, stoops
to kiss the mother also toll stained.
He speaks softly, mayhap:
"Howdy, sweetheart; glad to be
home again"
She turns a sweat-marked face up
TO his, in farmhouse or tenement, and
answers;
I'm glad to have you home"
or all this the child is the witness.
Things of the world are yet new and
strange to It, Mysteries still confront
It. Guiding stars it is searching for,
and 10, in the very greetings of mother
and father, in their own loving atti-
tude toward each other, this unde-
veloped life finds star.
Such is the influence Of environ
ment Of two personalities-that of
