Scheming Democratic politicians
may secretly welcome the great Eu-
ropean strife as its existence is tend
ing to hide the failure OF the Demo-
cratic tarif law by virtue OF the fact
that the war has interrupted and shut
on importations OF foreign goods
made by cheap labor, but the fact re-
mains that Its operation all during
the many months before the war be-
gan brought general depression in this
country Lest we forget, It Is not
amiss that we should all recall that
fact and contemplate the disasters OF
the. future II that faw is to, continue
and 1t will continue n the Democrats
are kept in power Again, the war
will not last forever. and at its close
the Democratic tariff law will again
operate as It did before the war bs-
gan, II permitted to remain on the fed
eral statute books.
In connection with this subject, the
Wheeling 1ntelligencer makes perth
nent comments as follows:
While some things are being inlict-
ed on this country by the foreign war,
It will not do in the present turmoil to
forget those things which were inlict-
ed by an actual enemy within the
country, the Democratic party, which
has made destructive war on the
prosperity of the land for the last two
years. The great home market OF
American industry Is now practically
shut out. from the disastrous compe-
tition Of foreign manufacturers and
producers, owing to the conflict going
i on on the other side OF the. ocean.
1t will help save the face Of the Demo-
cratic party as nothing else could
have done. But let us remember the
languishing industry and the business
depression the Democracy forced on
the country by the enactment Of the
Underwood bill and the antitrust leg
Station that was held like q sword
over business.
The Democratic party came into
power with the country enjoying ex-
cellent business conditions and with q
condition of general prosperity pre-
vailing among the people, and with
the full employment Of labor, situa-
ton built UP under successive Repub-
lican administrations and the protec-
tive tariff. At the breaking out OF
hostilities the record Of the Demo
cratic party, after getting into full
swing, was accountable for business
and industrial stagnation, idle freight
cars, and more than million workers
out Of employment. The commercial
failures Of the country, from January
to July 1, 1919. amounted to $10S,O12.-
223; for the same period in 1914 they
aggregated $1S5,009,773, an increase
of4seventy-one per cent. The banking
failures for the same comparative per-
iod scored an increase OF sixty per
cent.
Showing the dislocation OF indus
trial and business interests, the gross
railroad earnings fell from 81 ,0S7, o21. :
1874 in the first five months of 1912 to
1897 ,55S,0fS in the same period Of
1914, fiat decrease of nearly $780,
100000. This does not count in the
Iloss sustained by enforced idleness OF
railroad employees and the absence Of
former dividends. nor the effect Of
320,S75 idle freight cars July /, 1914.
compared with 70,731 at that time two
years previous.

An Angry Nation.

With the entire nation aroused
aaginst the men who have had the bru-
tai audacity to raise the already ex-
cessive cost Of living on mere pre-
text, we may confidently expect re-
suits. Congress has asked President
Wilson to take the matter up and the
president has instructed Attorney Cen
eral McReynolds to do everything pos
sible. AS a result an order has gone
out to every special agent Of the
United States to take steps at once to
secuxe information as to what has
been done and to place the blame. The
Overwhelming public sentiment that
has forced this action is in every way
justified; the people have acted in
self defense against an objectionable
outrage. The only regret is that there
must be some delay before remedial
action can be taken and that d ma
jority Of the scoundrels will probably
escape the penitentiary wheeling

A Winner,

The Second district Republican
congressional convention. which con-
vened at Ellkins yesterday, was one
of the largest and most enthusiastic
ever held in that district. That the
Republicans are confident Of redeem
ing the district from Democratic rep
resentation was evidenced by the
number OF contestants who were en-
tered for the nomination, which final
ly fell to the Hon. George M. Bowers,
OF Berkeley county. The nominee has
always been a staunch and unswerv-
ing Republican, and will, without
doubt, make winning fght.4--

HALLOWEEN PARTY.

The annual Halloween party of
the Greenwood High School has
been for the past number of
years, red letter event on the
social calendar and the custom
was successfully carried out last
Friday evening when the Juniors
entertained the proud and haugh-
ty Seniors at the residence Of DR..

Promptly at s o'clock the
guests began to arrive and in a
few minutes the spacious rooms
of this historic building were
crowded with the merry-makings
of the lucky attendants, who
were busilly engaged in the in
terestng contests that made up
this function, such as diving for
apples" fortune telling and so
vita. As the evening faded some
one mentioned dance and in a. few
minutes the Halloween party was
successfully turned in the afore-
mentioned noun. Due credit
must be given the refresEment
committee who served delicious
sandwiches Of chicken and per-
mento with that cool, thirst
satisfying beverage, punch. The

TEST FOR SHERMAN LAW.

Criminal Section Of Statute to Be
Givsn First Airing in Court.
Washington, Nov. 2.-In getting the
New Haven indictments officials of the
department Of justice feel that they
have the best opportunity since the
Sherman law was enacted to test its
value as criminal statute. There
have been other indictments under the
law. but in no previous cases have so
many prominent men been brought in
danger Of trial and Imprisonment
The fact that the department was
planning to seek indictments against
the men named IN the bills today has
been known in we'll informed circles in
Washington.
President Wilson, when his negotia-
tions for a peaceful dissolution of the
New Haven system doomed to failure,
directed that the criminal phase be
gone into.
The attorney-general Immediately
prepared to lay the case before the
grand jury. Special counsel was re-
tanned and the vast amount Of evidence
secured by the department was sup
plemented by witnesses called with
the governments knowledge. Some Of
dent of the road in it's stage of what
the government holds to be illegal ex-
pansion, were called in the knowl-
edge that they might secure immunity
from prosecution but with the belief
that the revelations would be worth the
price.

Ell Paso, Tex, Nov. 2.-The confer
ence of revolutionary chiefs at Aguas-
calientes has disregarded General Car
ranza's protest and elected Eulalio
Gutierrez provisional president of Mex
;co, according to an official report
reaching the border today.
Gutierrez was appointed provisional
governor of the state of San Luis Po-
tosi at the beginning of the contitu-
tionalist revolution. He is regarded.
however. more as u sympathizer with
Villa in the present controversy.
The naming of Gutierrez as head of
the convention of chiefs and acting
chief executive of the nation came as a
surprise at this time. He previously
had not been mentioned as a possibility
for the office. Details Of the voting were
not received here.
The new president of Mexico comes
of the lower middle classes. Before he
became revoutionist he was grocer.
The voting at the convention did not
end until after midnight Gutierrez
received Ss votes. His nearest COM
petitor was Gen. Juan Cabral, tho
Sonora commander. for whom thirty of
the delegates voted.

Berlin, via London, Nov. 2-Oficial
reports from the western front show

The Austrians and the Germans have
completed their retirement to new posi-
tions previously selected by them.
When the van guard of the Russians,
who were following them. came into
touch with this new line, there We're
several encounters in which the Rus
SLAMS were driven off.
The Austrians in southern Galicia
have succeeded in crushing back the
Russian left flank which for several
days has been making a desperate
stand in carefully prepared positions in
Turka and Stry Samber. The Russians
employed the pause in the fighting at
ter the Austrian retirement in this re-
gion to entrench themselves. They built
strong field fortifications which were
made more difficult Of access by the
broken nature OF the country. 1t was
