 Secretary Lane had a conference to- day with Secretary Houston and As sistant Secretary Galloway of the az ricultural department and urged them to secure the services of experienced irrigation farmers and locate them on the several government projects with a view to having them instruct settlers as to the use of irrigation water. the kinds of crops to put out and how - cultivate the soil
 Secretary Lanes idea is to obtain the highest possible efficiency from the irrigated lands
 It was decided that the agricultural department and the interior depart ment would cooperate in the scheme the details of which will be worked out as soon as possible.
 The plan of the secretaries of agri- culture and interior are practically the same as those of the Salt River val ley people, who have been striving nightly through the Phoenix board of trade for the establishment of the of flee of farm doctor in the irrigated area.

returned to Washington from Manila
says that every town in the archipe
lago had endorsed the Jones bill
which he hopes will be passed at the
extra session Of Congress.
The bin purposes to establish 9

for a probationary period of eight
years, beginning July 4, 1913, and
that after July 4, 1921, the United
States shall relinquish all rights OF
sovereignty over the Philippines
and grant to its inhabitants full and
complete independence. The United
States would retain sovereignty over
necessary naval and coaling station
sites and terminal points for cables,
not including the bay and harbor of
Manila
The Jones bill would vest the leg

lands in a Congress Of the Philip
pines, a Senate comprising thirty
eight members and House of eighty
seven members, both branches to be
elective. The executive power would
be vested during the probationary

SOUTHERN COAL IN 1912.

OF the 550,000,0OO short tons Of
coal mined in the United States in
1911, nearly 5O000o00 more tons than
the quantity mined in 1916 record
breaking year, about 131000,00O tons.
or about "a per cent, Of the total
was mined in the South. In 1880 the
South mined 9.S per cent of the to-
tai, but increased It's percentage to
1873 per cent. in 1890, to 202 per cent,
II 1900 and to "A per cent in 1910.
The South is now producing nearly
three times as much bituminous coal
as the whole country produced III
1880 and within 1000, 900 tons of the
country's production as late as 1895.
The Souths annual production has
increased since 1880 nearly twenty
times, as against an increase of about
eight times in the production of all
coal in the whole country. This
years production in West Virgin Il,
Sc 700 coo tons, is more than half the
present production of the South and
within 100000 tons of the total pro-
duction in the country in 1880. The
state increased its production in
spite of labor troubles in the Kanaw-
ha district. Southwestern Virginia
increased its production by probably
IS high a percentage as that reach
ed in any other State or district. The
years output is expected to reach
100000 tons. Alabama, with an
output approXimating 100000 tons,
makes a new high record for itself
and the output in Maryland, Ken
tucky, Tennessee and Texas was
about the same as in 1911. The out
put in Arkansas, Oklahoma and Mis-
souri, was about 100000 tons, The
aggregate for the South was in 1912

SOMETHING ABOUT
BUILDING HOUSES
Citizen" Gives Some VIuable Sug-
gestons About New Industry
and the Houses.

The possibility Of bringing another
arge industry to Martinsburg should
arouse the business men to the knowl
edge Of the necessity for concerted
action II they wish to profit by the
benefits to be obtained through an in
creased population. If the InterWoy-
On concern should decide to build an
other plant in this city, it would
mean that a great effort would have
TO be made to house the additional
help, coming from away TO operate
he mill At the present time houses
for rent are scarce in Martinsburg,
rhe few houses that may be had are
offered at a figure that is prohibitiye
for factory-worker.
One solution of the housing problem
is TO be found in the erection of tene-
ments or three natters. These flats
will enable the worker with a small
family to secure homo for reason
able monthly rent At present most
vacant rents are either too large, or
10 bad only by taking rooms with
another family. These conditions
when revealed to the people who
might come to Martinsburg, discour-
age many.
Another element in the housing
problem, that reacts to diseredit Of
Martinsburg as a residential place for
mill workers, is the fact, that a large
percentage of the available houses are
let from April to April. The wisdom
of this custom is open to question,
When an attempt is made to induce
1000 mill operatives to come to Mar
tinsburg and lease houses for one
year, the folly of this custom may be
realized.
Martinsburg, Il large town, is about
to become a city in size as in name,
and changes must of necessity come
as we grow, Some serious eonsidera-
ton now, will do much toward pre-
venting conditions that inevitably de
velop when municipality grows rap
idly, and no attention is paid to the
character of the homes of its future
toilers.
The construction Of a trolley line
leading into the country would make
country homes possible for Martins
burg mill hands 1t is doubtful if any
such electric line viii be built in time
to furnish any relief for the immed
late need If Martinsburg is TO have
tenement district, the time is APP
parently ripe for the discussion of its
location, and general character.
The exercise of a little wisdom at
this time will enable Martinsburg 10
expand in a manner likely to enhance
its beauty as a residential city

TO END CHILD SLAVERY.

The exposures Of conditions n the
canneries OF New York State, in
which children Of tender years have
been subjected TO absolute slavery, is
likely to result in early reform. AT
Albany a bill has been Introduced in
the Legislature to prohibit the EN-
ployment Of children under IA years
Of age in these factories, or any OF
the other industries III which chill
dren have been compelled to toll In
taking this step New York sets a
good example for the other states, 70,
what is bad in one is equally as bad
in others Every state III the Union
should follow the example and make
the reform general,
During the recent invest cation OF
faltory management In New York
the conditions revealed were of such
It character as to be almost unbeliev.
able. One can hardly imagine II pos.
sible that in this enlightened age chill.
dren whose ages can be told in a
single numeral, are compelled to toll
from daylight until dark in dingy
factory or in the unmyiting rooms
that thCy call home. The whole coun.
try ought to unite in the demand for
reform to prevent the child life of
the NatiCl being Slapped out in this
manner. This is a big and busy
country but the exigeney is not such
as to require labor in swaddling
clothes of the cradle Children under
the age Of IA ought to be in school
fitting themselves for the battle of life
which will be upon them too soon
at It's best.
The New York bill, II it should be
enacted will make it unlawful for
factory owner to utilize the service
cf children. This is proof that the
measure has been carefully and wise.
~ drawn, and there should be no
doubt of its passage. Indeed, there
should be no opposition Other states
Will look Oh as the New York law
makers dispose of this bill, and it is
rea sonablc to believe that wherever
similar evils prevail there will be
a demand for legislation.

Here are, or should be, worked out
the problems of government that are
not ours alone Europe looks to Amer

where the people, without kings or

REAL MEN.

The Democratic Senators at Char
lesion are made OF stuff found in real
men. They have demonstrated they
are no, afraid to stand for their
rights and unless they are given such
the battle will continue indefinitely
Beyond a doubt the people OF West
Virginia are behind those men, be
cause they we're sent there to legis-
late in their interest, and not to play
politics or follow the courses former
ly pursued by the Republicans. If
a United States senator is chosen at
this ses ion, the Republicans will
have to show friendly spirit and
prove tdat they are willing to do the
right thing.
Two years ago the Democrats ask

WHEN THE PEOPLE AWAKE

Following the conviction Of Judge
Archibald by a vote OF the United
States Senate one OF his lawyers ex-
pressed the opinion that if the vote
had been taken last year there would
not have been a conviction, and thai
IL vote should be taken on similar
proposition next year there would be
no conviction. He attributes the pres.
ent attitude of great majority of
the United States Senators to the
present political unrest"
All Of which, with the exception OF
the propositicl regarding the prob
able attitude OF United States Sen
ators next year, is undoubtedly true.
But none Of 1t detracts that the peo-
pie Of this country can deal effective
" with unfit men who reach the
Bench under the laws that have been
IN existence for many years if they
will only assert themselves.
Men in public Office. including Unit
cd States Senators, are not slow to
respond to the demands Of the people
If the latter show any disposition to
carnestaess in their demands. 1t is
easy enough to say that for many
years past many Judges and many
members Of State LEGISLATURES as well
as many Congressman and United
States Senators have been backward
in the performance OF their duties,
and that they have no. been respon-
siye 10 the demands Of the people.
The fact is, however, hat the people
have been quite as careless Of Their
own best interests as have been the
