Yosf LaJ' Future Depends
on Decision in Biegel Case

REGARDLESS Of the use. lawful or
otherwise. that may be made thereof
by the persons who order. 2
IN his conclusion Commissioner
Blue states: We respectfully submit
that the Injunction awarded by the
circuit court Of Kanawha county did
not SO too far. IN fact, 1t did not
60 far enough Il was a concession
to the liquor dealer and to the ex-
press company ! II only required good
faith to be exercised on the part or
the carrier as to any kind or intoxi-
eating LIQUORS that might be brought
into the state for personal use, when
the order was not solicited. In fact.
the in1unctiye order upon hearing, In
stead Of being dissolved. should have
been enlarged SO as to restrain the
carrier from delivering any intoxicat-
ing liquors to any consignee In the
state, except pure grain alcohol and
wine for the purposes mentioned in
the statute.
We most respectfully submit that
the decree OF the court below should
be reversed with directions to enlarge
the injunctlve orcer TO rstrain deliv-
cries Of any liquors in the state,
within the Jurisdiction of the court
except pure grain alcohol and wine
when sent into the state to those who
by law can lawfully handle the same
and for the purposes then only mem
toned IN the statute"
Upon the result Of the opinion
which will be handed down In the
Biegel case by the United States cir
cult court will hinge greatly the Leg
islation to be taken against the liquor
traffic in the state of West Virginia.
If Commissioner Blue Is upheld it
will be impossible for any citizen Of
the state to secure liquor by purchase
inside the state lines or by ordering
1t from other states. the only method
being left open for them being to
personally bring q small amount into
the state with them.

BIG AND LITTLE MEN.

The British army regulations pre-
scribe five feet six inches as the min
imum height for enlistment. There
was a time when battles were fought
by hand, and then size and weight
counted for something. Under mod
ern conditions. with battles fought at
long range. and often between forces
each of which is invisible to the other,
the ability of a man to handle him.
self Is of more consequence than his
bulk. Moreover, size and strength
and endurance do not always go to-
gether. The small man Is often able
to perform more work and to stand
up under more hard knocks than the
big man. The prevailing opinion ap-
pears. to be that in large groups of
men, those who are somewhat under
the average size are more active and
enduring than those who are a little
above the average. This would prob
ably not be true il the tasks imposed
were only those Of carrying weights
and other work of like character.
There we should expect to see the big
man score. But, while the soldier IL
required to carry some weight, his
equipment being no child's burden
small men appear to be equally able
with their superiors in size to carry
the weight required. There is no rea-
son why the smaller men should not
be as effective In the preparation OF
trenches and other like work as the
larger men. for in the army such Ia.
bor is seldom continuous; and the gen.
eral requirements are for activity and
endurance rather than for the muscu-
lar strength which goes with weight.

WAR, HISTORY AND THE
SCHOOLS.

Chicago Herald: Superintendent
Young is quite right in rejecting the
demand of certain pacifists that NO
reference shall be made to war in the
teaching. of history in the public
schools. 1t cannot be done and teach
history at ALL AS Mrs. Young says:
1--WE can't teach the advance of the
human race and leave out war. 1t
has had too great a part in the prog
ress Of the world for that. Many ma
tions have been able to assert their
rights in no other way"
Especially does 1t not lie in the
mouths of Americans to assert that
war. though always regrettable. is al
ways wrong" Without war we
might be here, as individuals. but we
would not be Americans, nor would
this nation exist as such and be the
powerful influence for peace that 1t is.
What is especially needed in all
civilized nations in teaching the war
phases of history is clearer distinction
about motives and causes Of wars.
More Of this. and less Of the glory"
aspect, would be desirable.
However obedient we may be to the
laws. there are times when we can
not. as individuals, avoid taking meas
ures Of self-defense. which are war
measures. or appeals to physical force.
Neither can nations, however desirous
Of peace, always avoid war.
What we really need to do is to
eliminate the conception that war is
legitimate method of national ad-
vancement-a proper instrument of
political action. That is q mediaeval
,falsehood which still dominates the
ruling classes of some countries.
Our own people are not altogether
free from this delusion. If they were
we should not hear arguments for in
tervention in Mexico on the ground
that the Mexicans stand in the way
of the material development Of their
own country.

and ON the constitutional amendments
proposed. as we'll ~ on other special
subjects presented.
Women may vote for state and
county superintendents of public in
struction. Women need not be regis
tered.
The woman suffrage ballot may be
voted by men only. In order to car

must be voted for by majority of all
the voters voting at the coming cleo
ton. A majority of those voting on
the proposition will not suffice.

population within that period. The
proportionate decrease has been going
on for many years.
OF course the number Of almshouse
inmates from year to year is not
necessarily any indication as to self
support. There may be increases OF
decreases in the number Of almshouse
inmates without any, corresponding
change in actual pauperism. Changes
are made in the method of dealing
with the poor, conditions which. al
one time. would have caused the send
ing of person to the poorhouse may,
at later time. be met with the CIV
ing Of outside relief, and vice versa
We believe it to be fact that there
has been a very general movement in
the direction Of outside and occasion
al relief instead of the poorhouse plan.
The ancient idea was that If a person
were unable to support himself, and
had no friends to support him, he
should be sent to the poorhouse as the
easiest way of solving the problem
presented. and the way in which the
with the least outlay. The theory that
now finds acceptance is that while
those must be supported who are un-
able to support themselves, such sup
port is to be regarded. wherever pos
sible, as temporary matter, and that
the ultimate achievement to be sought
is that of putting the individual on
his feet and aiding him to become
self-supporting. That is better for the
community and vastly better for the
individual.
A fact which will strike many peo-
pie as strange is that among the i'm
migrants the Swiss furnish a larger
proportion of almshouse inmates than
almost any other nationality. We are
accustomed to regard the Swiss as
thrifty. and usually we'll to do. The
statistics furnish no explanation of
this curious fact.
Among the immigrants. those from
southern Europe furnish the smallest
relative number of inmates of aims
houses. This again seems strange, at
first, for, while southern Europe has
sent us some very fine people, the
proportion of persons who do not fit
readily into American life has been
unusually large among immigrants
from that section. A possible expla-
nation appears in the eact that our
large immigration from that section
is Of comparatively recent date, and
there may not have been time for
those immigrants to take the places
in the statistical tables which they
will take later on.
Negroes send no more of their race
to the poorhouse than do the whites.
This does not mean that the negroes
are as thrifty as the whites. The sim
pie explanation is that in the South,
where the negro population is most
dense, conditions of life-that is, of
mere subsistence-are relatively easy
and the standards of life among the
blacks are low. Still further, the
poorhouse is probably not the estab-
lished institution in the South that 1t
is in many sections Of the North. and
personal donations and outside relief
from official sources are more COM
mon.
