HatieId ana Labor Troubles

1t was well that Governor Hatfield
did not go into the military zone with
Ex-Governor William e. Glasscock as
the latter isl held under more or,less
suspicion. and his failure TO rectify
conditions there or to put a stop to
! the troublesfblaced him in the dis
credited CLASS Of executives Cover
nor Hatfield himself may have viewed
the visit from that angle. i.
There is confidence in the new. gov
ernor that he will put an end to the
troubles. just how no one knows as
yet, Along this line. the Fairinont
Times comments editorially as fol-
lows:
Governor Hatfield's pledges to the
people of theSstate before the election
and at the time of his Inauguration
had the right ring and were such as
TO predict an administration popular
to, a majority of the people. No utter
ance that he made as to his possible
policies after in office was so import
ant and will be watched as closely as
his Intentions, possibly not publicly
expressed but impaired to his friends
and md advisors sto clean up the Paint
creek strike zone and to prevent fur
Their depredations there
There seems to be among both OPP
orators andsastrfkers A. general belief
that shortcomings in the governors
office in months gone by were respoh-
sible for the conditions Of anarchy
along the Kanawha county creeks
Governor Hatfield was possibly aware
of this sentiment when. he told his
friends thatas governor, he would put
stop to operations, other than law
full ones down there. The general
belief is that score or more of lives
have been lost; hundreds of people
have suffered intensely. thousands of
dollars have been lost by the destruc-
tlon and idleness of coal properties
and lasting disgrace has been
brought upon the fair name of West
Virginia, because lawlessness there
could not be permanently repressed.
Any effective effort made by the new
governor to redeem the zone from
the anarchistic condition that it is
now in' will be met with constant ap-
proyal and support of the people not
only of the afflicted county but Of the
entire state.

HatfieId K Praised.

z "a &
Gpyerdor III. D. Hataeld's inau-
gural address is receiving favorable
comment by the press Of the state
generally. excepting a few very par
tisan Democratic newspapers whose
partlsanship causes them to hope
that mis- administration may be d
failure. The Morgantown Post
Chronicle. a rank Roosevelt organ,
thinks well Of xthe inaugural as
shown by the following editorial:
! Governor Hatield,s Inaugural adj
dress contains a welcome reassur-
ence as to his steadfast purpose that
the pledges made to the voters dur
ing his campaign shallibe scrupulous-
ly fulfilled HE intends with due de-
liberation to call the legislature in
special session and ask for the en-
actment OF laws governing primary
elections, restraining and furnishing
corrupt practices, fixing the salaries
of county officers, readjusting the
burdens of taxation and providing
for more, economical admtnistra-
ton OF. the state government. The
governor intinates that this special
session win not be called until plans
haxelb eea carefully worked out, and
that heproposes to take counsel with
the people in working out these
plans. =
The inaugural address is am en-
couraging indication of the earnest
desire OF Goverhior tHatAeld to maka
his administration d four years Of
distinguished service to the state.
The suggestions he makes are IN the
line of progress and efficiency, and
many of those suggestions have APP
parentiy come from his experience
as member of the Legislative
branch of the government. The
spirit in which they are proposed is
evidently born of an intense aspira-
tion to make life better worth living
for all the people Of West Virginia,
in so far as the conditions Of life can
be modified by the agencies of civil
government,

definitely decided 10 play the Gen

October II, as had been intended.
The Wesleyan team has had many
more offers of games than the. man
agement could accept this year, due
TO the almost wonderful record made
by the 1912 team. In addition to
the offer of games that have already
been refused from the Navy, La

iy possible that Wesleyan will ac-
cept the offer of the George Wash

spite of the fact that one game is al
ready booked for the city of Wash

but the game with the army will not
be accepted, for the reason that
enough bigongame are, already
booked to tthorou&hly test the team.
The offers Of games with G.afay-

Congressman Rainey Wants to
Know if Power Project is
Hindering Navigation.

Washington, Dec. O.-Representa-
tive Ramey of Illinois introduced a
resolution yesterday directing Mouse
committee TO investigate the Keokuk
and Hamilton Water Power company,
which built, by authority of congress,
q dam across the Mississippi river
between Keokuk. Iowa, and Hamilton,
H.
The bill was introduced with a view
TO determining whether the authorize
tion ought TO be repealed or amended
TO provide for compensation to the
government and to regulate charges
exacted by the company for power.
The resolution contends that the
dam has not proved an aid to naviga-
tion; that steamship companies com
plain they are compelled to await the
pleasure OF the company in opening
the dam; that by agreement with the
war department the company is per,
mittcd to store water in its pool
above the dam at night. making navi-
cation al that time dangerous and
sometimes impossible; that the com
pany erected a bridge across the river
without authority, which is an addi-
rioual hindrance TO navigation, and
that it IS buying up electric light
cities and charging high prices for
less efficient service than formerly
was given.
