BANKERS MUST
Be POLITICIANS

Richmond, Va, Oct. 18.-Arthur
Reynolds, president OF the American
Bankers Association, delivered a
warning to bankers and business men
Of the country in his speech before
the convention Of the association
here today He called upon them
to rise to defend themselves from
sssinster legislative tendencies. j."
Although there was scarcely ref
erence to the effect of the war upon
business and banking, there was
most pessimist note in Mr. Reynolds
remarks. MANY saw reference to
President Wilson in his statement
that oaganized effort by business men
to modify some of the drastic lagisla-
tive measure proposed has been
openly referred to as conspiracy to
influence legislation"
The time has come when we must
take more active part in the practi-
cal politics of the day, for the banker
and business man to WELD that in
huence in orr government to which
they are entitled must make more
effective use of their citizenship in
the future" he said.
Heretofore we have contented
our selves by forwarding or adopt
ing resolutions; now we must resort
to individual effort and must our
selves take part in the work instea
OF relying soley upon the Chabmer
of Commerce, the local Board OF
Trade, or the State Bankers Associa-
ton.
Even if all the laws proposed
and passed were just and proper, it
would be impossible to force SO many
and radical business changes with
out the results which we have ex-
perienced.
'Indeed the failure to aid rail
roads in their reasonable requests
has not only undermined the value
of one Of tho most important invest
ments. A continuation of this pol
icy will furthur impair the value Of
these stocks and bonds in the hands
of European holders

freedom from trusts and mono
poles, and endeavoring to give
the greatest opportunity to every
man, regardless of his corporate
affiliations, is eager to have its
policies endorsed by the voters Of
West Virginia is evidenced by
the letter which Secretary of
State William Jennings Bryan
sent to former Senator William
Campbell, of Charles Town, few
days ago.
TO fail to support the Demo
cratic candidates is to vote to tie
the hands of the President" is
the assertion of Mr. Bryan. Of
course those who would have pre-
ferred to see the United States
plunged into warfare along with
the nations of Europe will fail to
support the Democratic nominees
for Congressman thi year, but
those who approve the pecce pol
icies of the administration can
scarcely refrain from indicating
their approval by supporting
those who will assist the Presi-
dent in carrying out his program
of peace. That the administra-
ton is greatly interested in the
vote of West Virginia and eager
to have it cast in approval of the
peace and economic policies of
President Wilson is shown by the
letter of Secretary Bryan, written
from the StateDepartment, which
is as follows:
MY dear Senator Compbell:
Naturally | sincerely regret my
inability to come into your State
during the pending campaign
other engagements and the ex-
igencies of affairs here demanding
all my time up to the election.
/ am encouraged to believe that
nc only those in the House who
have Loyalty sustained the policies
of the administration who are
now candidates for reelection will
be returned, but also the other
Democratic candidates.
AT this juncturs tits apparent
that to fail to support Democratic
candidates is to vote to tie the
hands of the President.
SO many important legislative
reforms to supplement federal
enactments cannot be made eff
fective without the election of a
Democratic State legislature that
/ would urge all Democrats to
faithfully support the party NOM
inees and since any detection to-
wards even local candidates who
have been fairly nominated by
their primary or convention may
adversely affect the entire ticket,
it behooves those in sympathy
with the progressive aims of the
administration to support the en-
tire Democratic ticket. This |
believe, will be so generally done,
not only by those who in the past
have been affiliated with our party
but those Of other parties now in
sympathy with US, that next
month | may get the good news
that not only has a solid Demo
cratic delegation been returned
to Washington but that the legis-
lature of West Virginia is Demo-
cratic in both branches. Very
truly yours, W. J. Bryan"
Senator Chiffon and Congress
men Nicely and Brown all voted
for the Clayton antitrust bill in
the form in which it was finally
passed by both Senate and House.
Congressman Howard Sutherland
Of Elkins, was the only Republi-
can Congressman from West Vir-
ginia who supported the measure
on its final passage. Mr.. Avis,
of Charleston, voted against it,
while Congressman Moss and
Hughes were absent.

The Department of Agriculture
is endeavoring to assist, as far as
possible. through the bureau of
markets, in the marketing of the
enormous apple crop of the Unit
ed States. While the crop in West
Virginia is of record size, and the
crop of the United States a little
larger than it was in 1912, it is
encouraging to know that ship
ments abroad of apples from the
United States and Canada have
been heavier so far this year than
last year. Former Senator Camp
bell said a few days ago that there
are 1000, 900 barrels of apples
this year within 25 miles ofCharles
Town. Every effort is being
made by the Department of Agri-
culture to dispose of all the apples
in the country, but still the de-
mand is not what the covers
would like to have it.
By the provisions Of resolu-
ton offered by Senator Chiffon
and adopted by the Senate, the
Interstate Commerce Commission
will investigate the onership Of
the Little Kanawha Railroad in
West Virginia; and ascertain
whether it is held by a syndicate
or monopoly in restraint of trade;
and wheather it is held for the
purpose of preventing the devel-
opment of the Little Kanawha
Valley.
Civil service examinations will
be held at Belington and Philippl
on Oct. "a for applicants for rural
mail carrier out of Belington, and
at Grafton, Oct. "a for applicants
for rural mail carrier out of Flem-
ington. There are vacancies to
be filled in both these routes.
What is regarded by many
members as the best presentation
of the accomplishments of the
present national administration
was made by Congressman Nicely
in a speech in Congress a few
days ago. Beyond all other ac-
complishments he placed t h e
maintenance of peace through the
policies of Woodrow Wilson. The
United States alone of all the
great nations of the world is en-
joying peace and Mr.. Nicely sum-
married. the situation when he
said and while Woodrow Wilson
is in the White House and William
]. Bryan is in the cabinet we will
have no war"
If" said Mr.. Nicely, some
ruthless vandal could wipe out
the Democratic tariff law, ex-
punge the Democratic trust laws
and take from us all the credit
for the relief we have offered the
country through wise legislative,
and yet leave to the people the
Democratic administrations price
less policy of peace; for that pre-
sious heritage alone they would
manifest their gratitude and pro-
vide for their future peace by
electing Democratic Congress
to do their bidding for two years
more"
The accomplishments of the
Democratic Congress and national
administration were carefully
enumerated, especially along the
lines of freeing the Individual
from the clutches Of monopoly
and the trusts, releasing money

THE SANITARY NEST.

If an egg dealer should be asked tAu
question. "Were these eggs laid III "a
sanitary nest" he would likely rep =.
what on earth is a sanitary nest
The shortest answer is, y nest whe>e
nothing foul comes in contact with the
egg.
There's that nest under the hog pm.
on the stable floor, under the dropping
board, where the filth drops through
cracks on to the egg, or that open top
nest in the ~henhonsel over which hens
hop and into Which dirt dis, O. % that
nest which i seld98 cleaned or th5
straw changed. ~SMcs3-r 49,
Some people forget that an eggshell
is only porous lime, that 1t absorbs
filth and odors and that moisture, pen
etrattng the shell, vets the egg skin
aud thus lets in microbes, 4.
Just now there Is going up a protest
from California to the government
against the adHtsss9q Of Chinese eggs,
ecause the Chinese are the most in
sanitary people IN earth" and their
eggs partake Of their environments.
You wouldn't like to eat "Chink"
eggs, either. nor do your 6 customers
want anything insanitary. Eggs laid
In insanitary nests or kept In an insan-
ltary place partake of their surround
ings.
They are not good to eat, they are
poor keepers, and that's why SO much
OF the egg crop spoils.
Better look up those nests and see II
they are o. X, and remember our def
nidon-a sanitary nest is a nest where
nothing foul comes In contact with the
