When the good Lord was sore

Mr.. Chairman, [ ask this be-

of West Virginia are in a fearful

Cost OF Living Not Lowered

Washington, Oct. 25. Small
cheers for the housekeepers' al
ready depleted purses is held out
by the experts Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, who today
announced that food crops and
meat production were short. AS
result the high cost of living"
may by more latitudeinous than
ever. The high cost of meat is
a serious result" said James
Pickens of the the Bureau of An
imal industry, and it is now OBJ
vious that the rise in prices in
recent years is the natural result
of an actual shortage in produc-
ton. 1t is evident, also, that the
country is facing an era of short
production of meat, and that
some constructive means must be
adopted if the American appetite
for this class of food is to be sup
Piled"
Little hopes for lower prices in
meat through the competition of
meats from Argentina, Australia
and other beef producing coun-
tries is seen by the experts, who
declare that. with the free mar
kets of England and other coun-
tries open to it, meat can hardly
become plentiful and cheap in
this country"
Equally pessimistic views are
entertained with regard to the
cotton crop, which is the poorest
of any in the past ten years, with
one exception. Thus, it is said
mournfully, less clothing may ac-
company the necessity of more
meager menus in the immediate
future.

sufficient to say that it is largely
if not wholly, inexcusable. But
a wider appreciation of the val
ue of natural gas is bringing
about gradual reduction in the
waste, and as men are not likely
to throw away anything which
has commercial value, the amount
of gas permitted to escape will
in time be reduced to the mini
mum.
But our failure to find use with
in the state for the states pro-
duction of natural gas indicates
either neglected opportunities on
the part Of our citizens, or igno-
rance by outside capitalists of the
manufacturing advantages we of
fer, or both. Last year the nat
ural gas production Of West Vir-
ginia Appropriated $4,000, 900
in value, and about $22,O0O,OOO
worth of it was piped out of the
state. Why did not the manu-
facturers of Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Kentucky and Maryland who
bought it, locate their plants
nearer the source of supply?
We have an abundance of land
suitable for factory sites close to
the gas fields, which can be
bought in most cases cheaperth than
the land upon which factories
using West Virginia gas are To-
Gated in neighboring states.
Shipping facilities, generally
speaking, are as good as they are
elsewhere. And gas may be
bought cheaper near the wells
than when it is piped a distance
of from 100 to 300 miles. These
facts ought to cause a tremen-
dous industrial development in
West Virginia, but while we are
getting new factories, they are
not coming as rapidly as they
should. Is it because West Vir-
ginia opportunities are not being
sufficiently exploited?- Register.

Meridian, Miss. Oct. 49,
Twenty soldiers of Companies 80
and ITO, U. S. Coast Artillery,
were killed, and about 100 others
injured this afternoon when a
special troop train on the Mobile
d Ohio Railroad crashed through
a trestle near State Line, Miss.
Division Superintendent Pigford.
of the Mobile & Ohio, in a report
sent to headquarters of the road,
at Mobile, gives this number as
the extent of the casualties.
The wreck was caused by the
engine tender jumping the track
when about 200 feet from the
trestle. The engine was not de-
rallied, and passed over the tres
tie. The tender broke loose from
the engine, however, and with
the baggage car and three coach
es plunged % feet to the ground.
At 8 o'clock tonight 10 bodies
had been taken from the wreck
age, and Superintendent Pigford
said he was sure four more bodies
were in the debris, which will not
be cleared away for "a hours.
Reports from the scene of the
wreck are meager because Of in
terrupted wire communication.
Most of the dead and injured, it
is stated, were taken to Mobile
on a special train, and another
relief train was headed toward
this city The death list of TWEEN
ty is based much on an official re-
port sent the War Department at
Washington by one of the army
officers on the train, in which it
was said no officers was killed or
seriously hurt. Other reports
put the death list as high as &c,
but it is believed this is exag-
gerated.

Wilson Signs Deficiency Bill

Washington, Oct, %. The
President today signed the ur-

The bill carries appropriations

In signing the bill, President
Wilson made the following state
ment:
l am convinced after a care

the offices Of deputy collector and
deputy marshal were never IL
tended to be included under the
ordinary provisions of the civil
service law.
The control of the whole
method and spirit of the admins
tration Of the provision in this bill
which concerns the appointment
of these Offices, is no less entire
ly in my hands than it was before
the bill became law; my support
both of the principles, aud prac
tice of bonafde civil service re
form is known to the whole coun-
try and there is no danger that
the spoils system will creep in
with my approval or connivance.

Briefs Submitted in Debt Case

Washington, D. c., Oct. Is -
Another chapter in the suit Of
Virginia against West Virginia
was enacted Tuesday in the SUI
preme court of the United States
when Randolph Harrison, for the
state of Virginia, submitted a
brief in support of Virginia mo-
ton for the determination of the
case, and to determine all ques-
tons left open or undetermined
by the decision of March 6, 1911.
In that opinion, with respect to
the basis of liability, the court
said: I'VE have given our deci-
sion with respect to the basis of
liability and the share OF the
principal of the debt that West
Virginia assumed. In an event,
before we could put out judge
ment in the form of a final de-
cree, there would be figures to be
agreed upon or to be ascertained
by reference to a master. Among
other things there still remains
the question ofinterest. Wheth-
er any interest is due, and if
due, from what time it should be
allowed, and at what rateit should
be computed, are matters as to
which there is a serious contro-
versy in the record, and concern
ing which there is room for a
wide divergence of opinion.
There are many elements to be
taken into account on one side and
on the other"
Attorney General Lilly. of
West Virginia, submitted that
states response, and the brief of
himself and associrte counsel in

Coed Reads Days

The Good Roads Day idea as a
state wide proposition is gaining
popularity. The states of Mis-
souri,, Arkansas, Alabama, Neb-
raska, Wyoming and other states
have already had successful Good
Roads days. Georgia, North
Carolina, South Carolina and Tex
as, will each devote two days
within the next month to volun-
teer road working. The neigh
boring state of Kentucky is pre-
pairing to observe Friday and Sat
urday of this week, and there is
an organized movement through
out the state to make the occasion
the greatest success possible.
Missouri's road working result
ed in a great outpouring of vol
unteers. Governor Major him
self joined party of workers
and put in full time as a hand in
which he was assisted by Cover
nor Hodges of Kansas. At the
Arkansas celebration these two
executives repeated the perform
ances in the company of Cover
nor Hays Of Arkansas and Cover
nor Hall of Louisiana. 1t has
been stated that no humble citi-
zen in any OF the road gangs did
better work than the four COVER
nors.
The best thing about this move
ment is that it focuses attention
upon the roads and inspires inter
est in the essential work of high
way improvement. 1t is not
remedial in the highest degree,
but in many cases the labor is
markedly beneficial, and the spir-
it of community efforts that is en-
gendcrcd should prove Of lasting
value.
tits. of course, too late to bring
about the observance Of a state
wide Good Roads day in West
Virginia during'the present year,
but next year is not too early to
begin. Already the people of
this state are rapidly awakening
to the need and value of improv-
ed highways, and such a state
wide movement as has been a.
dapted in other states, aside from
the actual improvement Of the
roads. ought to go a long way to-
ward extending and unifyinq
public sentimentin favor of more
substantial and better kept sys-
TENS Of public roads.
