REPRIsALs OF THE CONVICTED.

The reprisals OF the Lackawanna
Railroad for having held il I'D To the
country and the courts for illegal
overcharges. with the connlvance OF
Judge Archibald. OF the United States
Commerce Court, have driven the IN
former and prosecutor. a coal opera

Inc bankrupt operator has related a
pitful story TO the chairman OF the
House Committee on the Judiciary.
He says that a remarkable series OF
reverses overlook him after the Sen

impeachment proceedings and removed
him from the bench. lie traced all
his troubles TO the date on which he
began his fight against Archibald and

THE ROAD SCHOOL.

Everyone IN agreed as TO the neces-
sity for better roads IN the State. and
large mileage OF new roadway will
be constructed as soon as favorable
weather for construction sets in. but
few agree on the best method of build.
ing these highways. We are hopeful.
however. that something definite will
come out OF the school OF roads that
Is now in session at Morgantown.
This hope is justified from the fact
that every county In the State is rep
resented in this school but one. and
that every county road engineer is re-
CURED 10 be in attendance on these
sessions.
A practical and intelligent man Is
at the head OF State road affairs, but
he can do comparatively little unless
he has the hearty cooperation Of coun-
~ officials and a uniform system OF
road building established. Money
enough has been wasted on roads in
this State TO have constructed a de-
cent highway from one end OF Il TO the
other. We have had sufficient
amount OF agitation on this matter.
the people are aroused on the subject.
theories have been discussed TO OK.
haustion; what are most needed now
is work and the application OF some
rational and enduring method OF con

stated that the national loss and waste
OF our mineral resources amounts to
not less than 100000 a day. This
is startling extravaganza. The other
wastes OF the country can be replaced,
as crops and forests grow again. but
oil and gas once taken from their I'M
derground reservoirs can never be re,
placed. and for this reason their pro-
duction should be economically con-
served. The waste OF natural gas is
no new story IN this State, the largest
producer In the country. DIT. White.
the State geologist. some years ago
called attention TO the criminal waste
OF this fuel and illuminant, and since
has constantly preached its conserva-
ton.
The report OF Director Holmes
maintains that the individual opera
tors In causing this waste have fol-
lowed their natural bent for Temporal
ry gain, but the bureau claims that.
even with the limited means at its dis
posal, It has been able during the cur
rent year TO stop n waste OF natural
gas valued at not less than $40 ZOO. 900.
There is an imperative demand for
enlarging the facilities OF the bureau
for more rapid prosecution OF its
work, for a few more years OF the
waste now going on may result in 9
permanent loss OF this valuable source
Of our wealth
OF the total waste OF gas In the dif.
ferent fields OF the country, more than
so per cent. is believed TO be easily
preventable. With regard to the re-
naming 20 per cent. it is suggested
that gasoline may be extracted from
much OF IL and the gas itself burned
for some useful purpose. We are re-
newing our forests by replanting. but
how much more should IL concern US
to save all we can Of a mineral the ex-
haustion OF which cannot be replaced.
The Director OF the Bureau OF Mines
calls attention 10 another waste OF
identical consequence with the oil and
gas waste in stating that the annual
loss in mining and handling coal IL
not less than 25O.0OO.OOO tons annu-
ally This also vitality affects West
Virginia. having the largest coal area
OF any State IN the Union. What are
We doing. or going 10 do about 10?
