SIZES IT UP RIGHT.

The Keyser Mountain Echo holds
an intelligent and comprehensive view
OF the matter Of the failure OF some
Wheeling juries to convict persons
charged with violation of the prohi.
bition law. II sums it up concisely
and intelligently when it says: The
Wheeling situation with regard 10 pro-
hibition enforcement is peculiar. but
natural There are not enough citi-
zens there In favor Of the law to form
juries TO hear evidence in indictments
end on arrests without prejudice. Con-
sequently. justice miscarries
So IL does. just as IL miscarries
when a juryman in a murder case re-
fuses TO vote for hanging the murder.
or because he Is opposed 20 capital
punishment. though the law in the
case provides for such punishment.
One man with settled convictions can
defeat justice in a Yost case With
equal facility. and we do not know
Of any force or law that can compel
a man 10 come to any decision con
trary TO his convictions.

BULGARIA'S MISTAKE.

While Bulgaria at this writing has
not cast her fortunes. or rather her
misfortunes, with the dual allies. there
can be no doubt but what she win ul-
timately do that thing. She will have
some help. of course. from Germany
and Austria. but she will have Greece
and the Balkan States on her back.
besides France. England and Russia
There is no question about the latter.
for only a few days ago a warning
was sounded in the British House Of
Commons by Sir Edward Grey in no
unmistakable terms when he said: eff
Bulgarian mobilization should result
In Bulgaria assuming an aggressive at
titude on the side of our enemies. we
are prepared to. give our friends in
the Balkans all the support in our
power, in a manner that would be
most welcome to them. in concert with
our allies without reserve and without
qualification"
Whichever way the war goes. Bull
garia will find herself in a bad plight.
Under the protection of the Allies che
was assured Of independence. She
has turned her back on that assurance.
and in the final settlement when peace
comes she will have reason to regret
her decision. Even in the event OF
Germany winning according to the
policy Of that nation. Bulgaria will be
subordinated to the well known ambi-
tons of Berlin, exactly the opposite Of
the Allies. which is said Ito further

States without sacrificing the indie
pendence of any of them

gold they have for their reserves.
There is a large idle stock on
hand. The Anglo-F'rench loan will
enable us to get interest on funds
which otherwise would lie idle for
a long time.
We shall get a profit on goods
which we would not sell at all il
we were not willing to extend
credit. Ultimately. Great Britain
and France will pay us back on
commodities. In the meantime. we
shall be drawing a fair rate of
return upon our investment in
goods which we produce, but do
not now consume. For us. the
loan means the saving OF a large
fund which will ultimately be con-
sumed when the need arises and
means the continuation OF a vital
foreign trade.
