that it takes the hand of God Almighty

A Municipal Water Supply

That every town should own,
control and operate its own water
supply is now generally conceded.
There are no real arguments
against such public ownership.
Charles Town has probably a
lower bonded ,indebtedness-pro-
portionate to her population and
resources-than any town in
West Virginia. By Act of the
last Legislature the limit was .ex-
tended to one hundred thousand
dollars, only some thirteen thou
sand being outstanding.
The present plant is inadequate
to say the leastzof it. No local
investors are now concerned in
its success.
There is every reason and
necessity for the installation of a
system to furnish an abundant
supply of pure water, and this
can be done without increasing
taxes dollar.
The municipality owned water
plants of nearby towns are. self
supporting at as low or lower
rates than Charles Towns citi-
zens pay.
Would it not be good idea for
the town authorities to get the
opinion of competent engineer
as to the feasibility of the propo-
sition?

Washington Letter
(From Geo. W. Summer. J

Official Washington is keeping a
watchful eye on the first West Virgin
ia district, where successor to John
w. Dayis, the new Solicitor General
of the-United States, is soon to be
chosen. Washington is not at all in
tefested IL the Congressman who may
be selected to succeed Mr.. Davis. for
one member of the House ont of "a
total membership of 435 makes very
little difference politically or other
wise; but every Cong ressionaI election
is an expression of the sentiment of
the people and every expression of
popular sentiment is carefully watched
in the national capital. Especially at
the present time is Congressional
election Of the greatest interest. when
the Democratic party is just in the
midst-of its efforts-to redeem its
pledges to the people and reduce the
cost of living by reduction of the
tariff.
So far as the House of Representa-
tives is concerned. the tariff bill is a
completed measure. The House has
passed its bill.-Of course the Senate
may change it, and it is upon the com
pleted bill, after Senate and House
have completed their work on it. that
the administration must stand But
till the Senate gets through with its
part of the work, the House must
stand by the bill it passed. This, SO
far. is the Democratic fulfilment of
the pledges of the party, and while
there probably will be changes in it be-
fore, the Senate gets through with 1t,
the Oil at present represents the Demo
cratic attitude on the tariff. With the
House on record on tariff legislation
and the Senate still working on the
bill, every expression of public opinion
as to the tariff is most carefully watched.
A special election was held a few days
ago in New Jersey. in which the Demo
cratic candidate was reelected. A
special election is soon to be held in
Maine and there is every indication
that the Democratic candidate will be
elected to Congress. Now that third
section of the country is to be heard
from through special Congressional
election in West Virginia. the greatest
interest is being manifested in the out
come. West Virginia assisted in the
election of President Wilson and the
first district elected to Congress
Democrat whose previous votes in
Congress had shown him to be an ad-
vocate of the principles which mark
the present administration. It is there
fore reasonable to expect that Dem
ocrat will be elected to succeed Mr..
Davis.

The Virginia Debt Situation.

The conference last week of
the Commissions appointed by
the two States, looking to a set
Element of the debt controversy,
came to nothing, and while
another meeting is to be held
next week, an agreement seems
hopeless.
The suggestion that some of
the counties of the Eastern Pan
handle be coded to Virginia in
exchange for her assumption of
the West Virginia debt @cetrifi-
Gates, has been variously receiv-
ed.
No one seems to know who adj
vanced the idea, or whether it is
eountenanced by those having
some color of authority to pro-
pose it. If left to a referendum
of the voters of the counties in
volved, it is pretty certain that
they would vote to return to the
old Mother State from which
they were torn by stress of war
1t appears probable that the
matter will not be settled unless
and until, the Supreme Court in.
tervenes.
Should the West Virginia
Commission agree on a basis Of
settlement and report it to q
specially called session of the
Legislature, it is hardly likely
that final action would be taker
by that body without submis
sion to the voters of the State
who are altogether likely to vote
it down.
This may be regrettable, but
as we see it, it is the way til,
dispute will=eventuate,
West Virginia is up against i
good and hard, and her citizens
may as we'll wake. up. and know
the truth.

President Stevens Denies
Rumor.

New York. Aug. 9th, 1918, tSpeciaD
President Stevens Of the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railway Company was shown
an article today from Martinsburg,
West Virginia, which said that the
State was considering deal including
the ceding Of certain Counties to Vir-
ginia in settlement of the State debt.
This article stated that the Chesapeake
& Ohio was interested in this deal;
concerning this statement President
Stevens said: s gu can state without
equivocation that the Chesapeake &
|tOhiQ has never heard of such propo-
sition as the one mentioned in the
Martinsburg dispatches, and has
nothing to do with any deal of this
character. s=5= =zzz
Mr.. Stevens expressed surprise that
anyone would in any way connect the
Chesapeake & Ohio with this matter.
and said that his denial could not be
made too emphatic, strong or plain.

George Washington a Mason

Describing Free Masonry as q teach
Ell of tolerance the Rev. George Van de
Water, writing IN the Churchman, finds
that the astonishing sense Of tolerance
which prevailed during the formation
of the American constitution as we'll as
in the drafting of the Declaration OF
Independence, are explained in the
fact that large majority of the men
concerned were Free Masons. They
might be Churchnlen or Puritan
Quakers- or Calvinists or Arminians,
but their lessons iu Free Masonry had
taught them to respect the faith of
other men. The world had never be
fore witnessed anywhere such a toIer-
ance and true understanding of political
and religious liberty as was manifest
at Philadelphia, There in the City of
Brotherly Love-how significant the
name. Philadelphia assembled
men from all sections of the country all
men of strong convictions, yet all
learned in in the wisdom which leaves
other men to the guidance of God and
seeks not to steady other peoples al
tars. DR.. Van de Water says:
Free Masonry ever since it had been
embodied in standard recognized degrees
under the superintendent of Frederick
the Greatof Prussia. had been school
of tolerance as often as they visited
Free Mason lodges.
Go to Mount Vernon and you will see
where George Washington lived. Visit
the lodge room in Alexandria near by
where he spent much time presiding as
Master, and you will see evidences in
Vulnerable, in well-preserved parapher-
MALTA and personal belongings, of what
I have told you, and what he exempi-
fed, as all real. true Free Masons ever
exemplify, in creed and in conduct,
namely, the spirit of tolerance.

have number of communications
from persons in Richmond who have
undertaken to raise a fund to erect an
equestrian statue of Stonewall Jackson
Liberal subscriptions haYe been made IN
the several Counties of Virginia and IT
would seem the properthing for Jeffer-

able design. This Valley was the home
OF Stonewall Jackson after the Mexican
war, and it was made famous by his mar
vellous military operations. His famous
Valley Campaign, remarkable for the
gallantry of his soldiers directed by his
great skill and genius, has given to this,
section fame and reputation that will
endure forever. A large part Of the
Stonewall Brigade enlisted from this sec
ton, and it will doubtless be privilege
tor the soldiers and the people here to
contribute as much as they may be able
to commemorate the character and repu-
sation of this great soldier. After con-
Aerring with a numberof the survivors
of the Stonewall Brigade, and others who

West Virginia Awakens.

A cold wave of dismay will sweep
through all political zones in West Vir-
ginia as a result of the conviction and
sentence of the FIVE legislative bribe-
takers. The incident is unparalleled
in State in which political and legis-
lative bribery and corruption have
hitherto been cons idered as part Of
the game of public life. and in which
the successful buyer and the fortunate
seller of votes have been regarded as
engaged in a thoroughly recognized
species of traffic There were good
people in that State who hung their
heads over its shame, and some brave
enough to denounce the brazen corrup-
tionIsts who 'debauched its politics and
its public service. But until now they
have been powerless before the league
of political and corporation interests.
The conscience of the State has awak-
ened at last and justice and decency
are beginning to assert themselves.
Whenever West Virginia completely
stamps out these vermin and cleanses
her house from top to bottom, she will
have something to be prouder of even
than her wonderful material wealth.
The Sun.
We suspect if all the members and
ex-members of the Legislature, who
have accepted money in Senatorial con-
tests and who are now living, were
sent to the penitentiary the accommo-
dations there would be taxed to their
utmost. These men recently convicted
therefore doubtless feel they are the
victims of unfair discrimination
view.
When Delegate Rath Duff was con-
victed last week of accepting brides
while serving as member of the State
Legislature, he and his wife both Wept.
No wonder-such disgrace as it was!
And yet Rath Duff isn't really much
worse off than other bribe-takers who
have not yet been convicted, for in
their souls they know what crooks they
are.-Register.
