Communicated.

Editor ReglSter-lt seems to me that
no better time than right now could be
found to make public protest concern
ing the inefnciency OF the town fire alarm.
Since the blg bell has been in the new
building there have been two alarms, Inc
first being TO- the lire that destroyed D.
F. Lemen'S stable. AT that time the wire
broke al the ilrSt few taps, and had II moi
been that a member OF the fire company
happened to be in the building and had
a kew 10 the lower at the time the alarm
was given there would have been much
difficulty in ringing the bell. Last Sum-
day evening while strenuous efforts were
being made to sound the alarm, LIE was
lost, and people living less than block
from the engine house failed to hear the
bell. Ii is conceded that the arrange
ment OF the wire to the bell is very poor
and inefficient, and that the trouble could
be easily remedied. But this has not
been done, and while il may be done
some time in the future, the time to do II
is now. II the flremen do not act i'm
meuiltely, then il is the councl'S duty 10
see that something is done and quickly.
Had either OF these fires been IN the
night, no one would dare guess what the
destruction might have amounted TO. AS
a taxpayer feel that voice the sentl-
ment OF the property-owne and tor
their protection there should be no delay,
for while we argue and talk about it, who
knows but that great loss may result from
such indifference to public safety. Let
those who have the power act before it
is too late and have the alarm fixed so
that the bell can be rung. In its present
condition ii is most assuredly menace
rather than protection.

THERE is a sort OF oreok between Pres
ident Wilson and Certain Democratic Sen
ators over the question OF appointments,
and it may result in considerable trouble.
The President has not been willing to
turn over 10 the Senators the entire dis
position OF party patronage, and has made
appointments which have been contrary
to their recommendations in some cases.
These Senators seek revenge by refusing
to confirm such appointments, and as the
President is not inclined to back down,
trouble ensues.
We somehow agree with the President
that there are other matters 10 be cOnsId
cred in appointments TO oliice than the
desires OF Senators who have political
debts 10 pay, and we would trust the
President quite as far as some of the
Senators.

The new b. & D. schedule Tor the

during the winter months. This was
agreed upon at Winchester Monday morn
ing in joint meeting OF the Winchester
Board OF Trade and the Charles Town
Board OF Trade. c. w. Galloway, gen.
ersl manager OF the B. & o. Railroad,
attended the meeting and explained TO the
committee the reason why the b. & y. is
forced to retrench Mr.. Galloway made
the trip in a special train and invited the
Charles Town delegation to be his guests
to and from Winchester. The Charles
Town delegation consisted OF Geo. b.
Goetz, Thos. c. Bowling, Jno. {. Burns
and SecretaryA A. Beckman. The meet
ing was held at the Fairfax Club, Shirley
Cater, OF Winchester, presiding. II is
not the purpose OF the B. & D. to antag-
onize The commercial interest oIthe Valley

cutting down the passenger train service,
but also in their terminals. Mr.. Gallo
way assured the delegation thatthe present
schedule would only be in effect during
the depression period and said when
business resumed its normal condition
that the old schedule would be put into
effect. He also assured them that before
any change in the schedule would take
effect thai the commercial organizations
would be asked into conference and the
best possible service will be mapped out.

THE B. & o. Railroad officials say that
the reason they have eliminated certain

they wish to save the expense OF running

CERTAIN federal judges living outside
of the State have brought much comfort
TO whiskey dealers by rendering decis-
ions nulllfying some OF the provisions OF
the prohibition law OF West Virginia
The condition that permits federal Judge
to abrogate the laws of sovereign State
is crime against good government and
the people ought to rise in rebellion
against such state of affairs. The Leg
islature OF West Virginia passed law
regulating railroad fares-iederal judges
prevented il from going into effect. The
Legislature, obeyiug the mandates OF the
people expressed by majority OF nearly
100 600, passed the Yost anli-liquor law
now comes federal judge and seeks TO
nulify il also, at least in part.
The usurpation of authority by federal
judges as II exists at present is a menace
TO the rights OF The people.

BUSINESS is going TO be better for the
railroads, they say, now that the Inter
state Commerce Commission requires the
people to pay increased freight and pas

OF our subscribers pay dollar and a-hali
a wear Instead OF dollar for the Register.

TN, Interstate commerce Commission

The Interstate Commerce Commission
last week granted the eastern and north
ern railroads the privilege of increasing
their freight rates five per cent. This
means that the roads will exact some
$50 OOO, 600 annually from shippers in ex-
cess OF the present rates, which Will
eventually, of course, fall upon the ul-
innate consumer, for the increase will be
passed on from shipper to seller and from
seller to purchaser until the consumer is
reached. We do not believe that this
additional burden should have been placed
upon the people, neither do we believe
that il will cause real prosperity, for real
prosperity does not consist in robbing
Peter TO pay Paul. The railroads are moi
competently managed. and to incompe-
fence is added extravaganza - conse-
ouently when hard times come they have
no resources with which to tide over a
rainy day.
The railroads have double the
people. While the proposed freight IN
crease was in abeyance they put up pas
seneer fares, and now they will catch the
long suffering public gwine and comm.
