Save the Leaves

Needing the necessity for conserva-
tiony retrenchment. and thrift occas-
si6nad By world wide stress, the Phil
ippt Republican points out how even
The falling leaves may be utilized to
good advantage. Says it:
When we see a leaf fall. from q tree
do we wonder how that leaf can be
converted into money?
Hardly! TITS only leaf.
- Yet at this season Of the year there
are ceuptless billions of leaves fall
ing from trees, and every single leaf
As Of value II the htman brain cares
to utilize II.
These leaves can be swept into 5

3s cents. The distance. It Is pointed
out, from West Virginia to the east
orn points of destination Is one
fourth of that from Oklahoma east.
The total charge for West Virginia
producers is SO cents and for Okla
homa producers Sc cents.
Another point on which the oil
men place much emphasis is the res
3quirement for 75, 900 barrels Of oil
for a shipment. They say that this
makes 1t impossible for them to'sefl
to any one, except the Seep agency.
This requirement makes It ilnpossi-
bic for an. independent producer to
SELF his oil to an inde dependent refinery
or to foreign buyers, because he can
not deliver the on unless he has 49,
900 barrels. In this connection con-
siderable interest is aroused because
there have lately been d number OF
inquiries from foreign buyers receiv-
ed at the local ofices Of tho state as.
ISOLATION for oil. The oil men say
they can not ship their OIL because
of the requirements Of the pipe line
companies, and thus can not get a
higher price for their oil, which the
foreign buyer would offer. They
claim they are thus restricted to one
buyer.
This is Important because Of am
other factor, the shutting of OF pro-
duction In Europe. Great quantities
of OIL are being sent to Europe, and
the tank ships are now handling full
gargoes. +,

The result was not altogether UNI
expected. It is due to a large extent
to dissatisfaction with the Under
wood tariff, the levying Of new taxes
to cover treasury deficits due to the
iinsutiicie ncy OF. the revenue receipts
under the pretext that they were
necessitated by the European war,
but this was only q contributing
cause. The country has wearied Of
the interminable tinkering with bust
ness and the persistent attempt to
change immutable economic currents
by experimental, half baked theories
and in1practicabl transcendental
yagaries, says the Philadelphia
Ledger.
The Democratic majority 1ifsun-
derstood It's message from the peo-
pie. It came into power by q Repub.
lican factional division, created to Q
large extent through disappointed
ambitions. 1t interpreted its sue
cess (which 1t secured by a rnfnori-
ty!,vote In consequence Of the Repub-
lican split a commission from the
people to- execute a program OF rad
ical Democratic legislation. This is
whereit made its error. Had II been
content with a revision 81 the tarif
on more conservative lines, main
tanning the protective principles, but
freeing the tariff of It's Inequalities
and irregularities, and the enactment
of the new currency law, the result
might have been different. But IL
was drunk with power.
It proceeded to heckle business,
develop a! system Of centralized gov

tremest Hamilt onian Repdbl ican
would have faltered, played into the

les and produced a feeling Of dismay
among the most conservative,
thoughtful elements Of our popula-
lion which could have had only one
conclusion unless all the traditions
of our country were to be reversed.
Democracy has sowed the wind and
reaped the whirlwind. Il

Thorough knowledge by the county
court Is ever urgent. In tits county
both obtain more and more. Perhaps
in some counties IN the state the
situation is different, and what the
Randolph Review says as follows Is
worthy Of consideration even by the
county court Of this county:
The principal reason West Virginia
roads are no better than they have
been Notwithstanding the large
amount OF money expended on them
annually without a permanent benefit
is because the road system Of the
state Is at fault. So far as the Re
view can see the system has not been
improved much by numerous changes
made in the last few years because
the changes have not gone to the very
root Of; the trouble. The remedy lies
IN intelligent SUPERVISION Of road
and the requirement Of GER
tain standards before roads are paid
for. All roads should be higher III
the middle than on the sides so that
they will drain properly. The sides
or shoGlders OF the roads should be
SO hard that they will not wear cas-
lily. Roads should not be constructed
so that there Is any drain upon them
from above. These are. the very rudi-
ments Of road building vet IN innuf1f-
cradle Instances how true 1t Is the
case that those who build the road
are content to dig It a certain width,

Th0 Damociratic Dilemma

"a Let It be hoped that enough sense
Shas been pounded into the heads Of
Democratic leaders at Washington by
Tho election results Of last week to
cause them to enter upon much
needed period OF retrenchment and
economy. Sc
AS 1t is, administration leaders
are being confronted with the evident
NECESSITY Of revising !. the. taxation
laws OF the country before the next
election and thus far have shown no
Indication Of a tendency toward econ
omy. Every effort doubtless will be
made to ward off a revision OF the
Underwood tariff law so as not TO
place the administration in the Hight
Of q public confession OF the mfser-
able failure OF that law.
AS things went badly with the party
last week the Democrats do not look
forward with composure to revising
the tariff or leaving Indefinitely on
the statute books the war revenue
! bill passed at the last session OF
Congress. Any further taxation leg
islation, in the opinion OF political
leaders, will be a blow to the Demo
cratic chances in 1916,
~ At present the expenditures Of the
government exceed by a consid cradle
amount the revenues that come from

RUSS DAVIS WINS CASE.

The Lewiston land office has receiv-
ed from the general land office, Wash
ington, decisions renderd in two cases
heard before the local officials. both
of which were appealed. The first was
the case in which the United States
was contestant and Russell b.. Davis
was contestee, involving the possession
of 160 acres of land 10 miles east of
Grangeville. The government alleged
at the first hearing that Davis failed to
establish and maintain a residence on
the homestead as required by law.
The evidence adduced at the trial be-
fore the register and receiver and as
concurred in by the general land office,
shows that substantial improvements
were made, that cultivation was am
pie, and that the entry was maGe in
good faith 1t Is recommended that
the proceedings be dismissed and that
the entry be held intact, subject to
submission OF satisfactory proof.
