Nothing Is more astonishing to the
average government official than the
fgnothnce that many people display
WheH writing to the various govern
etnents departments on official bust
ness
Some of them for instance fancy
that the Department of Justice has
control OF the courts and that the
federal Judges have to do about as
the department says.
Others tryito sell their inventions
TO the patent Office, or ask It to take
up their ideas and place them on the
market on commission basis.
Still others write to the Depart
fient Of Agriculture for bushel OF
clover seed or a bag of wheat.
One hopeful sign. however, Is the
fact that this sort OF correspondence
shows tendency to fall of. Peo-
pie are beginning to see the advant-
age Of knowing how their government
sie operated; OF knowing what 1t IL
doingsin their behalf.
The story Of the government al
work IL; told in such a clear. concise
way that when. one reads It; he is not
only we'll entertained, but he gains
4 fund Of Just the sort Of information
needed by every person who would
know what Uncle Sam" is doing
and how he does it. Save the cou-

Unmarried Prestige.

One OF the regrettable consequences
OF the Wilson Bryan policy Of watch
full waiting toward Mexico is that
the prestige OF the United States has
been seriously impaired. Mark how
Cafrenza, Maytorena, Hill and other
Mexican leaders contemptuously re-
forted to the statements Of Secretary
Bryan, who, they declared in effect
MAS doing nothing but bluffing and
would not carry out the bluffs even Il
they were called.
= The hope Of the Washington admin
istration has been, according to re.
ports, that the assembling OF United
States troops at Naco, Arizona, would
convince .Maytorena and Hill, whose
forces have been fighting at Naco
Sonora, that the United States means
business, and result in either a cessa,
ton Of their operations, which have
caused many casualties in the Amer
lean town, or else cause them t.
Withdtaw to safe distance from the
United States border.
The arrival Of high army Officer
At Naco, 1t is hoped, will bring about
i successful solution of the situation
and result in withdrawal of the
cpnbatting forces Nevertheless, the
apparently defiant and insolentr atti
31ide OF the Mexican leaders is signif-
ieant It Is their contention that the
settled policy Of the United States
under It's present administration is tc

Our Fair Opportunity.

There are to be no more fairs al
Wheeling state fairs as they have
been called, according to a decision
arrived at by the stockholders OF the
association that has been operating
such fairs. There Is really no logical
reason for disseminating them. Prom
inent shareholders seem to think thai
fairs can not be held without booze
The Telegram believes they are mis-.
taken.
Wheeling certainly has a great area
Of country to draw from, and II the
management OF the fair should only
put up the real goods, there would be
plenty Of patronage. Besides, the In
sttution should not be regarded from
the viewpoint Of being mint. A
reasonable income should be salts.
factory and the owners should give
some thought to the idea that such an
institution is developer Of the com
munity. The management, OF course
could not afford to run the fair al Q
loss, but 1t should not enpece
reap a fortune out Of q public insti-
tuition, like fair.
1t has been demonstrated here that
q big fair can be operated in the abb
sence Of booze. The management,
here is not aiming to pile up for
tune for itself. What 1t is trying to
do. and succeeding very we'll, is to
build up the institutions to point
where none will excel it. AS a result
Of its labors, the management now has
the greatest fair In the state. 1t leads
all easily. Now that the Wheeling
fair is to be no more, the Clarksbure
fair will doubtless assume greater
proportions. This section of the state
has a greater opportunity now than
ever and 1t can have truly great
state fair hereafter, II all will hui
lend their cooperation.

MECHANICAL "TRAFFICr CAT

~ u .
The rapid development Of labor
saving devices now threatens to de-
prive the traffic policeman Of his
job. AS long as there is no serious
congestion of traffic, the chief adj
vantage of man over a sign at
street crossing is that the man can
get out of the way Of vehicles. This
requirement has been embodied in a
device invented by the commissioner
|of engineering at Lawrence, Mass,
where about thirty of the mechanic
al policemen" are now in successful
operation
The device consists OF a metal
column, four feet high and six inches
square, which fits into a we'll in the
street, and has a spring base, so that
when pushed over, It will spring
erect again as soon as released. The
post is erected in the center Of the
crossing. and the words, Keep tc
the Right" are painted upon each
face in white letters on red back
ground.
This machine serves to separate
traffic about as well as a man stand
ing In the same position, and has
been found quite sufficient where
there is no great congestion. Should
an automobile go astray and strike
the automatic traffic man." he goes
down under the machine. and springs
erect and uninjured, as soon as 1t has
passed. At night he is let down into
a well in the street, which is covered
by a metal lid.

Reformers in West Virginia will
have chance to do something prac-
ftical when the legislature meets next
month.
| The West Virginia Public Service
Commission has deferred action on
the applications Of corporations In
terested in hydro-electric develop
ment, because the members Of the
commission are unable to read the
law defining their powers as a com
mission, and place satisfactory in
iterpretation upon 1t.
This is but a single instance, even
though one of the most aggrayatine
lof the many that have arisen to ve1
the officials and citizens OF West vir-
fginia during the last fifty years.
The. fatlt lies in the foolish, II moi
the sinister habit, Of writing laws in
Ambiguous phrases, involved sen.
fences and faulty diction, capable Of
double or triple construction, or con-
veying no particular meaning what
gsoever.
There is no good or valid reason
why the statutes OF state or nation
should not be written in language SC
simple, SO direct, so explicit as tc
leave no doubt, even in the Intelligent
lay mind, as to what is intended. The
English language is SO constructed
las to make this possible, and the leg:
islature that permits the passage Of
statutes which. on their very face tell
the tale that they must first go to
court for Interpretation before being
tof any practical benefit, is guilty Of
Ireprehensible conduct and unmindfu,
of the full force of the oath which pre-
scribes "a legislators duties. You may
mot have thought Of it, but loosely
constructed statutes, capable o!
double construction or misconstruc-
ton, have been responsible for the
bulk of. the. burdensome and costly
litigation which has filed the court
calendars in West Virginia.
But West Virginia is not unique il
the possession OF this fault. o is
common among the. states, and THE
federal statutes, while not, as a rule
as loosely written as the bulk of the
state laws, are by no means faw1ess
The practice, therefore, OF hastily
piling togetherla litter Of words ant
phrases, and branding 1t with thu
name Of law, should be permitted tt
go no farther. It is time to call {
halt. Bills should be inspected ant
