AT The meeting OF the Republican Ma
tional Committee in Washington last
week. plans were discussed as to how
best get the Bull Moosers back into the
party ranks, but nothing definite seems TO
have been accomplished. Action was
taken, however, looking to reduction in
the number of delegates from the South
ern States-and the colored brother will
not have as much influence as formerly.
Governor Hatfield represented West
Virginia at the meeting OF the committee,
William Seymour Edwards, the regular
committeeman, being kept on the outside
because OF his Bull Moose activity.

The will of William Deering, the har-
vester king, who died recently in Chicago,
disposes OF an estate OF more than $l2,-
600 900, not counting many millions which
he transferred 10 his heirs before his
death and large sums which he gave to
charitable and educational objects.
This enormous fortune was practically
all made from the farm machinery trust
and came from farmers who were re-
auired TO pay about double the real value
the implements they had TO use.

LAST week in refusing to comply with
the request Of citizens OF Jefferson county
that proper passenger facilities be re-
stored TO this section high official
OF the B. & o. Railroad is quoted
as saying that the people here might
know some things, but they do not know
how to run railroad. This may be quite
true, but possibly they know more and
the said official less than he is willing TO
concede. In our opinion it is not fair
and il is not good business to take from
the people of section that furnishes as
much traffic as comes from Jefferson
county the reasonable facilities that they
have enjoyed and TO which they have a
right. II creates hostility where friendly
spirit should be encouraged. The day
has passed when corporation officials
may insolently say ''the public be"
and no wise railroader will show that
spirit when he is courteously approached.
Fortunately, there are other authorities
to appeal to when railroad officials refuse
to be reasonable.

THE high cost OF living is still with us,
but some OF these days there's going to

practiced upon them.

The administration Of President Wilson
has just won great legal victory with
out going into court. Attorney General
McReynolds has made public the details
OF an agreement by which the Bell Tele-
phone Company promises 10 give up
control OF the Western Union Telegraph
Company ard thus voluntarily end mo-
opoly in the telephone and telegraph
business that was regarded as inimical
TO the public interest. The Bell company
also agrees 10 permit access TO and use
OF its toll lines By all other telephone
companies. To gain such avictory with
out years of expensive litigation is a
wonderful accomplishment by the ad-
ministration, and at the same time It
shows a most sensible attitude upon the
part of the Bell company.
This administration surely has a way
of accomplishing things, and President
Wilson and his advisers have the respect
of "big business" as well as the admir-
alton and confidence OF ordinary folks.

The Cedar Trees.

Mr.. Editor-Wili you please give me a
small space In your paper this week
would like 10 say few words 10 those
who so dislike the cedar trees and would
have them all cut down, thinking they
are full OF rust and are doing harm 10 the
fruit trees. Well, cannot agree with
them. Why did they not find this out
long, long ago? Are they sure this is
true ? II the cedar trees must be cut
down, it would surely destroy the home
of many dear little birds, some Of them
so very small. How could anyone des-
troy their homes? They sing so SWeetly
all the summer long We can hear their
sweet songs and think they make us all
feel glad that we are living. DO not cut
the cedars down, thinking they are full OF
ruSt-let them stand for home, shelter
for the birds when the earth is covered
with snow.
The cedar like an ancient tower.
Stands beautiful on the hills.
Looks out upon living world
That is so green and still
The cattle IN the fields below
Nip the sweet grass that grows,
Enriched by the glorious rams
That make the pastures grow.
They grow on the highest summit.
They grow in the wales below,
And many other places
The pretty cedarS grow.
God sends the rains TO nouriSh.
And The sun TO shine above,
And there they grow so beautiful
The cedar trees we love
Flow on. old Potomac flow on,
Far above you stands the cedar trees,
Gods beautiful gift He has given,
Behold them in beauty there
We should praise our gracious God
For the blessings he bestows
In the Valley OF Virginia
Where the pretty cedar grows.
Home OF our childhood. how affection clings:
They hover around us with their Seraph
wings:
Dear are the Potomac hills though clad in au-
tlifnn brown,
And as lair as the SUBMITS which the cedars
crown.
Where the Potomac looks like silver,
And the birds they sing so sweet
Wishing you all Merry Christmas
And happy New Year

The currency reform bill OF the present
administration, providing for complete
revision of the financial system OF the
United States, passed the Senate last
Friday night by vote OF 54t "a. Every
Democrats in the Senate and seven Re-
publicans voted for the measure, Senator
Golf, Of West Virginia, being among
those who voted against it. The bill,
which previously passed the House, was
sent to a conference committee, and the
points in dispute were finally agreed TO
by the committee and ratified by both
houses OF Congress. President Wilson
signed the bill on Tuesday, making it
the law OF the land.
This is the second important measure
advocated by the President that has be-
come law, the tariff bill having been
passed several months ago. The new
currency law is regarded as an admirable
system OF finance, and under its provis-
ions there is little danger of panic as
suming dangerous proportions IN this
country.
