LEADING hotel keepers OF the United
States met in New York this week to de-
wise plans for fighting the temperance
sentiment that is becoming so strong in
this country. Leading hotel keepers will
not receive very much public sympathy,
however, for leading hotels these days are
simply vehicles for the plundering OF
those who find shelter under their roofs
or seek food within their walls. Besides,
the gorgeous bars and gilded cafes OF the
leading hotels are probably doing more
harm to men and women than the low
groggeries that almost every one agrees
should be suppressed.

The Interstate Commerce Commission
in statement issued on Monday let if be
known that il is not going TO be frighten-
ed or stampeded into action granting the
railroads the right TO increase freight
rates. An orderly hearing of evidence
and proper argument will be allowed,
and in good time decision will be rem
dered. The commission realizes the
gravity of the situation, and we believe
il will render an honest decision.
In the Senate on Monday Senator Cum
minis made strong speech against an in
crease in rates, declaring that the rail-
roads are in highly prosperous condi-
ton and that they are raising calamity
cry without justification. He presented
figures to prove that 1913 was the best
year that the railroads have ever had,
with the single exception of 1910, and
declared that they are stronger, better
equipped and more prosperous than ever
before.
Somehow, we are inclined to believe
that Senator Cummins is right. Anyhow
let the railroads prove beyond question
that he is wrong,

A SERIOUS situation has developed in
regard to the relations ofthe United States
and Mexico. Last week paymaster and
party of American bluejackets from the
gunboat Dolphin went ashore at Tam
pico, Mexican seaport, to purchase
supply OF gasoline. They were arrested
by detachment OF Mexican troops from
the garrison OF the city and paraded
through the streets to the Mexican gen.
eral, who later released them. The Uni
ted States Government demands that the
insult shall be apologized for with Sa-
lutte to The American flag. President
Huerta OF Mexico refuses to comply with
this demand. President Wilson has or
dered the entire Atlantic fleet TO Tampico
10 insist OH the proper apology. and
eleven battleships and 1900 men are
now on their way there. American ma
rines will be landed in Tampico if the
salute is not forthcoming.

WHILE the railroads are retrenching by
cutting off employees not absolutely
needed, they might do equally good
work by reducing extravagant salaries OF
high officials. Trimming at the top will
be as beneficial as pruning at the bottom.

The President is certainly providing
plenty OF work for Congress. Now that
the tolls repeal bill is out OF the House,
the administration programme for anti
trust legislation has been presented, its
principles Icing embodied in bill in
troduced in the House by Representative
Clayton, of the Judiciary committee. The
matter OF personal guilt is predomi-
nant IDEA OF the measure, and il is agreed
that such a provision would 60 a long
way toward making the law effective.

1T is quite natural that all classes are
not pleased with the legislation that is
being enacted by Congress and il is pos
sible that mistakes may be made in the
measures that are passed by that body.
But not in the present generation has
there been such industry, such real &C
complishment, such genuine effort TO
remedy unsatisfactory conditions, such
patriotic endeavor by high-mlnded states
men. President Wilson and The Demo-
cratic majorties in the House and Senate
are making great record-and the peo-
pie generally appreciate it.

In MemOriam,

The pretty little village OF Ma
ben, in Wyoming county, W. Va,
lost by death on January 2Sth one
of its most respected christian wO-
men, Mrs. Bessie Stewart, wife Of
Butler Stewart, 33 years of age.
noted in church circles as a per-
sonal worker ready always to COM
fort the sick, a gifted Sunday
school teacher, always found in
her place in the Bible study class
on Wednesday night, also regu-
lar church attendant and a liberal
christian doing all in her power to
promote unity in her community.
She was born in Clay City, KY,
and at the age of fifteen she Joined
the Christian church, Two years
ago she transferred her member
ship to the beckley Christian
church. While attending a revI-
val meeting at Maben on Sunday
night, January 25th, she was sud
denly stricken with paralysis, liv.
ing only three days and speaking
only once calling her husband by
name. Apparently in very good
health, God called her home. She
was firm believer in the Blessed
hOpe-Titus 2:13 Living in him,
daily watching, patiently waiting
for the Coming One" 1t is said
70 Christ's diciples after His ascen-
sion that they were continually IN
the temple praising and blessing
Gods-Luke "a :53. Such was her
blessed end.
She leaves a husband, two broth.
ers and three sistels. Her remains
were tau IN to Clay City, Ky. where
the funeral services were held in
the Christian church on Saturday.
January 31su, l0l4. The funeral
party from Maben consisted of the
husband, one brother, Mr.. N. G..
Walters, of Winchester, KY, Mr..
and Mrs. 4. l.. Mosby, Mrs. Henry
V. Peck, and the resident Pastor.
Mr.. Stewart, for several years,
has been trusted and highly res
pected employee of the w. M. Rit-
ter Lumber Co. This entire com
munity sympathize with brother
Stewart in his bereavement.

Papers Miscarried.

For some cause or other our pa.
pers last week for the Walters
vile postoffice were miscarried
and did not reach their point of
destination. These papers were
mailed with the others and their
failure to reach our subscribers
at Waltersville is no fault of
ours. AS this is the first COM
plant from this office or any 9TH
er Office in the county, we will
have to excuse the mail clerks on
the train fer their, we are sure,
unintentional failure to get them
to the right office. The only
wonder is that errors of this kind
do not happen oftener. On for
mer occasions we have had con-
siderable trouble in getting our
paper to subscribers in other
counties and states, but such has
not been the case in this county.
In this particular, however,
one subscriber IN a neighbOring
county seat, who has-been on our
list since theiirst issue of the pa
per more than eighteen years IA
go, wrote us few weeks ago
that he had not failed to get the
TIMES a single week for twelve
years. Thiss'is a good record,
and one that's hard to beat.

More SMALLPOX.

AS we were oOngratulating
ourselves upon the recovery of
the one case of small. pox in the
county, we learn that Bert Ham
mons is stricken with the disease
at the home of his father, John
Hammons near this city. Bert
caught the disease at Lexington
two weeks before. DIR. Martin
has the patient in charge, and
DIR. Williams, member of the
State Board of Health has taken
hold of the situation to prevent,
as far as possible, a further
spread of the disease. This means
vaccination of all exposures in
particular and every other :indi-
vidual in the county, then It is
over.

No Excuse.

gIhe hog market has been
steadily though slowly climbing
IN the city market until some
grades are now bringing as high
AS 8 cents on the Cincinnati mar
ket. Cattle at Mt. Sterling Mon
day sold as, high as 8 cents, by
the bead. Eight cents by weight
wss the rulinsL price for steers
and many refused to take this
price. With cattle and hogs sell
ing at nine cents, there is but
little excuse for the farmers

the farmer voting the Republi,
