Enforcing Yost Law.

West Virginia is soon to have the
chance of seeing whether prohibition
prohibits as to the liquor business.
Many opposed to prohibition have con-
tended that regulation of the liquor
trade is more successful than attempt
ed prohibition of it. Others hold an
opposite view.
AS the question is solely state one,
enforcement of the Yost law will be
up to the state through its various
county officials mostly. While state
officials will take an important part
in its enforcement, yet the burden
will fall upon the county officials, the
prosecuting attorneys and court judges
as well as grand juries.
While there may be city cooperation,
yet the city codes or charters gem
orally do not admit of ordinances pro-
viding for such severe punishment as
the state law provides for. AS this is
true. city enforcement would result in
light sentences and really do harm.
Governor Hatfield has emphasized
the fact that he intends to see that the
Yost law is enforced and no one ques-
tions his determination. It remains to

Some Advice nnhnedad

War in camp. is scented by the Ex-
ponent on the eve OF the Democratic
county convention and the little bird
has evidently chirped the fact that
the feeling is becoming bitter among
candidates and their Constituents.
The Exponent thinks it is foolish
for them or anyone else to say those"
mean things and 1t begs them not
to do 1t. Addressing itself to some
1t says in reference to a man seeking
to hold Office: You would not say
them to him, but you will about him
which Is cowardly."
The advice may be wholesome, but
1t does not seem to be having much
effect. Some Of those candidates, es-
pecially the machine ones, are out to
win in any way and at any cost, They
do not mind resorting to villifcation
and trickery and they are not going
to do otherwise until they are sure
of the goal.

Interest is Growing.

Aman was passing along the street
when a small dog jumped in his path
and bit him upon the ankle. Looking
around until he could select the boy
who seemed to be most amused at the
incident, the man grabbed the urchin
by the shoulder and demanded: Say,
do you know your dog bit me on the
ankle?r well, mister" replied the
grinning lad, Jupiter is only "a pup.
He couldn't reach any better. When
he grows bigger he'll be able to bite
you higher up"

time may seem small and triling when
you first start at it, but just keep on
and you'll be agreeably surprised at
the way 1t will grow in both import
ance and interest. Follow the an
nouncements from day to day.

Pin Head Prosperity,

The efforts OF the Democratic press
bureau to make Pennsylvania pros
porous are truly heroic, says the Con-
nellsville, Pa, Courier, but not always
truthful. The Courier gives an ex-
ample, as follows: n
A recent statement announced that
ovens were being fired up in the Con-
nellsville coke region, when about
5000 ovens had Just been put out.
Now comes the glad tidings that a
WOODEN mill has started up in Strouds-
burg, Palmer's home town, and that
a butter factory at West Chester is
working over time.
But those 5000 coke ovens remain
idle, and iron and steel business is
running to only about one-half
capacity; under Republican admins
tration and Republican policies they
were running practically full. The
people in the Connellsville region are
more interested in the operation OF
their coke ovens than they are in the
operation of the Stroudsburg wooden
mill and a West Chester milk factory.
Moreover, they will not be deceived
by any pin-head prosperity-inventors.

Enpenics.

A Philadelphia newspaper says
that the amateur eugenists who are
rejoicing at the decision of the courts
that the Wisconsin eugenics marri-
age law is constitutional, should re-
mind themselves that there is great
difference between a statute which is
in the power of the legislature to
enact and law which WIN accom-
plish the purpose sought by its pro-
moters.
One of the speakers before the
convention of the Eugene Research
Association held recently express I'd
the opinion of many able and con-
scientious investigators when he said
that medical men do not know
enough about heredity, the causes of
feeble-mindednes and similar things
to warrant lawmakers in in passing
any. radical statutes dealing with
marriage. Every reform has to
pass through the stages of investi-
cation and, according to the experts,
the matter of eugenics is still in the
early stages of investigation.
Sufficient is known. however, to
warrant the requirement of a rea-
sonably clean bill of health frov ev-
cry applicant for marriage pernnis-
sion for the sake at least of the i'm
mediate persons concerned.

The New Era

Monday began the final week OF
the licensed saloon in Huntington.
Although licenses will hold during
Monday and Tuesday OF the coming
week, the majority of the Huntington
dealers will close their doors on Sat
urday night, never again to reopen
them to the trade.
This impending event will usher In
a new era. 1t will work material
economic changes. West Virginia.
after more than fifty years of license,
will enter the ranRs7of the prohibition
states with a law far more drastic
than has ever been written into the
statute books of any other American
commonwealth. And whatever NAV
have been the history of prohibition
or attempted prohibition in other
states, there is foremost profound
conviction that It. will be made effect.

PracticaI Wars to Save.

Wealth can be accumulated only
by the earnings Of industry and the
savings OF frugality."-John Tyler.
Here are some ways that people
have saved successfully. Perhaps you
can adopt one of them yourself.
Save all coins Of a certain denom-
ination-pennies, nickels or dimes,
that come into your possession. Or
save every coin you receive bearing
certain date-1910 for instance.
Let the man who shayes himself put
away the price Of shave every time
he does so; likewise when he shines
his own shoes, let the coin saved be-
come a part Of his permanent capital.
Whenever you make a purchase at
bargain price, save the difference
between that and the regular price.
In that way bargain sales will have
a real meaning to you.
