An able DEFENSE OF the state admin
fstratIon Is made by the Morgantown
Post Chronicle, the most deeply dyed
In the wool Progressive party news
paper in this state, and while 1t does
not point out Particular individuals,
It evidently means to rebuke some Of
the third party politicians who mis-
behaved themselves at the Charleston
convention Of that party several weeks
ago. Included IN the list might prop
erly be named Charles J. Schuck, Pro-
gfesSive party nominee Tor congress-
man-at- large, who assafled the COVER
nor without warrant and 4ndulged
himself In vulgar expressions about
the, state administration. Mike"
sGatheny IS another person to whom
the rebuke should apply and still
MorgantoWn, the home Of the Post
Chronicle, could profit by taking TO
heart what that newspaper says and
repent OF their misdeeds and their un-
just attitude toward the administra
ton. The Post-C Chronicle says In part:
There are certain politicians and
certain interests behind them III West
Virginia engaged in a desperate effort
to diseredit the administration Of Gov
ernor Hatfield with the voters. Nor
are the politicians who represent these
means, arrayed under the standard
Of the Democratic party. The enmi-
ties that arose out Of disappointed
ambitions in the last race for United
State Senate have been projected in
to the present campaign, and there are
two or three bands of apaches on the
war path whose only political purpose
just at present is to embaTrass the
Hatfield administration ia every pos
sible way.
In so far as this opposition to the
governor and his program grows out
Of the mere personal feelings OF dis
appointed seekers after a senatorship
or some other public ofice, it will not
accomplish much with the voter, and
any careful examination OF the record
of the Hatfield administration will con
vince the investigator that the prom
ises made to the voters by the gov
ernor in the last campaign are being
carried out with the utmost fidelity
and as rapidly as the obstacles can be
overcome. 1t was largely due to the
indomitable energy and perseverance
of Governor Hatfield that the friends
of good government In the last Iegis-
lature were enabled to put through
those constructive measures creating
a public service commission and pro-
VidIng for the operation of work
mans compensation law The SAFE
guarding OF the states interests in
water power projects through the
enactment of the INTERCOLLEGIATE law lis
also due in large measure to the in
telligent watchfulness with which the
governor Followed the work of the
legislature last session.

Teddy on TarfR.

The Wilson administration gets no
consolation from Theodore Roosevelt,
former president of the United States,
on the tarin question and especially
the hope that administration has of
the European wars oyershadoWing
the tariff issue. Colonel Roosevelt
draws lessons from the present situa-
ton caused by the war which also
emphasize the Democratic error OF
causing dependency upon other coun-
tries rather than placing our own
country in position where 1t can take
care OF itself under all conditions
even that caused by the present Eu-
ropean war.
In speech at New Orleans the
present week Col. Roosevelt vigorous
Iy denounced the policies of the VIII
son administration, as regards the
tariff. He declared, and most Amert-
cans must agree that he is right, says
the Parkersburg Dispatch-News, that
far from achieving a proper division
of the nations prosperity, the admin
istration has very seriously interfered
with the existence of prosperity. To
quote him, instead of helping make
everybody little better of, they have
helped to make everybody distinctly
worse OF"
Continuing Mr. Roosevelt says:
THE cataclysm that has befallen
Europe shows that it is merely utop-
ian for any nation to trust to anything
except its own sufhciency unto itself.
This does not mean that in ordinary
times we should actually subsist on
what is within our own borders, but
it does mean that we should keep our
industries in such condition as to be
able to subsist If necessary"
New Orleans was fitting place for
the expression of this sentiment be-
cause 1t is the metropolis of the south
eTn sugar country. Had we kept the
sugar Industry in such condition as
to be able Ito subsist if necessary
the price the housewife pays for the
most necessary commodity would not
today be doubled with the prospect of
even greater impairment of the pur-
chasing power Of her household allow
ance before her.

Decrease of Over Two Hundred Mil lion Pounds in Packing Since March 1--Blackford Says

According to quoted prices of whole salers at the present time, there has been an increase in the price of staples ---the absolute necessities of life-of from 10 to 50 and 10 per cent over Au- gust of last year. Sugar has advanced 75 per cent. but the price now is slow ly receding.
 The appro ximate rise in prices as given by '. W. Wood & Co. Is as fol- lows; Sugar. "a per cent, fresh meats. 25 per cent; lard, 10 per cent; flour, go per cent; rice, 15 per cent; grits, I5 per cent, and hominy. 10 per cent. Last year nt this time corn meal was quoted at S1.o5 for y6-pound sack. The price is $2.05 for the same size sack. year mt 17M cents pound. It now sells for 2Oa4 cents and an advance is im- minent.
 It is the opinion of w. s. Maughon, local manager of Armour X Co.,, that the United States will writhe in the throes of meat famine in the not far distant future MT. Maughon bases his prediction on the fact that hogs are very scarce, cattle raising has fallen off to an alarming extent and to the fact that packing houses in the west have had a decrease in their packing since March 1 of an amount equal to the production of 00,000,o00 pounds oi meat.

 No action in the near future is eN- Iected on the womens police court plan. but The commissioners. Mrs. Sea light and others have been talking it over and the scheme has met with con- siderable favor. No separate court would be established. probably, nor an otner police judge required.
 It is believed that the only thing lie cessary would be scme plan by which the present police judge could try the women prisoners in private. At present, women prisoners are subjected to the presence of a staring, gaping crowd of court hangers-on whenever they are placed on trial. The system results in much evil, it is elaimed, and for this reason it is desired to establish pri- vate or separate women's court where admittance will be denied to the gen eral public.

COMP PAN|ES WOULD ! HAVE CITIES OWN
 THE WATER PLANTS
Prentiss B. Reed In Inter- view Gives Viewpoint of Insurance Companies
 On Proposition

That fire insurance companies are in favor of municipal waterworks plants in preference to private owned corpo- rations. is the gist of an interview given out yesterday by Prentiss B. Reed, Birmingham manager for the Southern Adjustment bureau, the or ganization which settles fire loss claims throughout the southern states.
 Those interested in the present cam paign for a municipality owned water works he said yesterday, twill be in- terested to know that for a number of years the fire insurance companies have favored municipality owned water supply and distribution systems The standards of equipment which are uni form in the southern states prescribe certain minimum equipment for water works and state that they should be preferably municipally owned.
 Tn the last edition of 'Waterworks and Pipe Distrib ution,' by Francis c. Moore, a former president of the Con tinental Insurance company, the follow ing very pertinent paragraph appears
 Every municipality should own and control it's waterworks system ab initio in order that it may, from the very outset, determine the size and quality of the street mains, and in order also that it may secure efficiency at the lowest possible cost Theoretically, an honest private corporation can supply a municipality with water under a contract which contemplates the pur- chase by the municipality, at some later date, on an agreed price, but in practice it is mistake for a town to enter into contracts of this character. The credit of the town is usually the basis on which the corporation floats it's bonds and stock. Even though the credit be not traded upon as guar antee, the stock of the company is sold on the supposition that the town will have to take the water for term of years and buy the plant in the end. 1t might, therefore. as well float it's bonds and trade upon its own credit from the start The temptation to put in cheap pipe and to neglect necessary repairs especially as the period a:- breaches for selling the plant to the city, is too great in most instances to insure the city from serious loss and the purchase of a worn-out system l, therefore advise municipal ownership of waterworks in all cases.
 Nothing has occurred since the pub lication of Mir Moores work to alter the preference of the insurance com panies for municpally owned water works system. From fire insurance standpoint. waterworlxs constitute a part of the fire fighting facilities of municipality,. and to the companies it appears that privately owned waterworks plant is as inconsistent in Its theory as a privately owned and op- erated fire department would be"
