Wheeling-Coal operators OF this State
say they Will have trouble manning their
mines ailer The pTohlolIlon amendment
becomes operative July !, because the
foreigners are preparing TO leave the
State. The great malorly OF the miners
are foreigners and the operators declare
they VIII not work where they cannot
secure beer and whlskey.
WE take the above item from an ex-
change. We do not see how the coal
operators can well have more trouble
with their miners than they have had the
past year or two, with The State wet, for
there has been difficulty from one years
end 10 the other. Strikes, riots. murders
and various forms OF lawlessneSS have
prevailed and are still prevailing. We
have no doubt that a large part OF the
trouble is directly traceable 10 liquor,
and we feel equally sure that when the
saloons shall have been eliminated there
will be material change for the better.
Increased efficiency will certainly follow,
and better class OF workmen will take
the places OF those degraded foreigners
who are unable TO live without liquor.
Whiskey has never yet been proven a
benefit to any class OF workmen or any
form OF busineSS-and the coal operators
will presently realize the truth OF this
statement-if they do not already.

Many people take II after they have
had the grip. Their convalescence Is
slow. They have suffered along for
month or two, without any signs or
complete recovery. Then they resort
to Peruna as a tonic, with splendid
results.
Mrs. Jane Gift, r. F. D. 1. Athens,
Ohio, whose portrait appears above,
writes: 81 think would have been
dead long ago If 1t had not been for
Peruna. Six years ago 1 had la grippe
very bad. The doctor came to see
me every day, but I gradually grew
worse. I told my husband 1 thought
7 would surely die If I did not get
relief soon.
zone day I picked UP the news
paper and accidentally found a testi-
monial Of a woman who had been
cured Of grip by Peruna. 1 told my
husband / wanted to try it. He went
directly to the drug store and got
bottle Of Peruna. could see the I'M
provement in very short time ana
was soon able to do my work. I con-
tinued using it until I was entirely
cured"
Mr.. Victor Patneaude, 32s Madison
St, Topeka, Kas., writes: Twelve

grippe and I never really recovered
my health and strength, but grew
weaker every year. until 1 was unable

GOVERNOR HATFIELD has appointed
Friday OF this week as arbor and bird day,
and very interesting publication, with
varied programmes and much valuable
information, has been issued by the State
Department of Schools, If our public
schools have not made arrangements to
observe this day, which seems to us to
have been fixed for rather early date,
we hope that they will do so, and have
appropriate exercises at some future time.
The children will take deep interest In
bird life, and few things will be OF more
benefit to them than knowledge OF trees
and shrubs. Such time, too, ought 10
be utilized to beautify the school grounds
by the planting OF flowers, vines and
trees, and so add 10 the attractlveneSS OF
school surroundings.

THE railroads are making every effort
10 induce the Interstate Commerce Com
mission TO grant an increase OF freight
rates, and being bit weak IN argument
it looks TO US as il they are trying to CO.
cree the Commission by rather question
aple means. For instance, the railroads
are discharging thousands OF employees,
especially in the cities, whereupon, natur-
ally, general complaint arises and po-
litical and business pressure is exerted
on the Commission and the administra-
ton TO insure continuance OF prosperity
TO the railroads. A large proportion OF
the shipperS-eSpecially those who al
ready feel the heavy burden OF freight
rates-are protesting against the increase,
declaring that they are now paying up to
the limit. On the other hand, many great
corporations, which are linked and in
terlinked with the railroads, getting prof.
its going and coming, and bodies that
are always susceptible to Influence" of
the right sort, are favoring the increase,
assuming TO regard il as necessary to the
welfare OF the roads.
We confess that we cannot bring our
sell to see the necessity nor the Justice
OF increasing railroad rates. II may be
true that business is not up to the top
notch, but we cannot see how increasing
the burdens OF the people will make if
honestly better. lfan increase is allowed
IT will simply mean another boost to the
high cost OF living, for in the last analysis
the consumer must pay the bill, which is
increased by all who touch it. When
business becomes slack, the railroads
Should do what sensible individual
would do under similar circumstances
cut down expenses and exercise econ
omy.
The railroads are always borrowing
and never paying anything back. II
looks TO us as if there is something wrong
with such system. Probably there is
not road in this country that will no
make plenty OF money if it is managed
economically and wisely. We are quite
certain that they are not managed eco.
nomically-we have our doubts abou
the wisdom.

THE most exciting contest that has
taken place during President Wilson's
administration came to a head in the
House OF Representatives on Tuesday
when the House by vote OF 247 to lol
passed the bill, so earnestly advocated
by the President, providing for repeal OF
exemption OF coastwise vessels from
payment of Panama Canal tolls. Ever
since the President first advocated the
measure in message delivered person.
ally to Congress it has been strenuously
fought. Speaker Clarke, floor leader
Underwood and other prominent Demo-
Gratis differed with the President on this
question. lust before the vote was taken
on Tuesday the Speaker made perhaps
the most powerful speech OF his lie on
the repeal bill. While he took direct is
sue with the President, and opposed the
bill with all his power, he at the same
time spoke in a spirit OF harmony and
without the bitterness that Democrats
had feared.
When the vote was taken it was shown
that the great majority of the Democrats
were squarely with the President, tor
go OF them voted for the bill, while only
81 followed Speaker Clarke and Mr.. I'm
derwood. Twenty-Five Republicans and
two Progressives also voted for it.
Only one West Virginia Congressman
voted for repeal-Mr. Nicely, Democrat,
of the first district. MIR. Brown, Demo-
craft, and Messrs. Sutherland, Avis and
Moss, Republicans, voted againStit. Mr..
Hughes, Republican, was the only man
in the House who declined to vote-he
answered present when his name was
called.
This was a matter upon which good
men differed widely, both from a party
standpoint and as amatter government
al policy. We are firmly convinced that
the people OF the country are strong
" with the President, and it is crafty
ing TO the administration that it has got
ten such an emphatic endorsement from
The House. The bill now goes to the
Senate, where it is believed that it Will
also pass by safe majority.

DURING the past week or two Repre-
sentative Sutherland, Congressman-at-
large from West Virginia, has written to
men OF every shade OF political opinion in
this Stale, asking them as TO their views
on the question OF exempting American
vessels from Panama Canal tolls. In a
frank statement Mr.. Sutherland announces
that live out OF every six who have ex-
pressed themselves favor the repeal OF
the law exempung such vessels from tolls.
Nearly all OF them say that we ought to
stand for national honor and abide by
our treaty Obligations. This speaks well
for West Virglnla-lt also shows how the
people OF tins country endorse the stand
OF President Wilson upon this issue.
