Drifting.

Only about 81, 10000 more add
ed to the interest on the Virginia
debt since yesterday morning
While you are worshipping today
another Sl,8OO.OO will accrue. And
still we drift.-Charleston Gazette.
Sad, very sad, if true. And this
has been going on for many, many
years, hasn't it? During the four
years in which William A. Mac.
Corkle was governor of this state
there was an INCLINATION to let the
matter "drift. When K. Willis
Wilson was governor we still
"drifted." During the time a. b.
Fleming was occupying the ex-
eculive chair we were "adrift." All
the time interest growing. One
cannot but ask: Why did not
these men settle this question and
not let the interest pile up on the
people of the state? Why did
these men let it drift" The
Democracy was in control for many
years in West Virginia and they
just let this debt "drlft." During
the time, when these men we're in
control, this debt, we are told.
could have been llquidated for the
sum of $500, 600 90; but they Just
let 1t "drift. "-Charleston Post.
Leaders and politicians of all
parties in our state have been
"drifting" on the question of the
debt mentioned above for many,
many years--afraid to say that :hey
we're even In favor of any kind of
a compromise that would saddle
any portion of the debt on the PEG.
pie of West Virginia. If politi-
clan had expressed an opinion
favorable to compromise a few
years ago his political death would
have been speedy. One party has
no advantage over another with
regard to this matter.
What would the Gazette have
our authorities do in regard to the
debt? Please let Us hear from you,
Mr.. Gazette.

School teachers who are not familiar

small map of the United States which
is sold by that bureau at the nominal
price of n cent. This map shows the
capitals and principal cities, but not
the less important features, whose
numerous names and symbols tend to
create %obscurity and confusion. This
map does not show heights or noun

on a scale of about 1870 miles to ! inch
for 5 cents retail, and one on a scale
of about 10 miles to l inch, with con-

WAR ORDERS CALL FOR
100000 SHELLS
MANUFACTURERS WILL CON.
sumo 100000 TONS OF STEEL
WEEK SALES So 100000.
(New York Sun, 1Sth)

Sales of steel for var purposes last
week aggregated about 100000 tons. OF
the total, $4,000 to 140,0 900 tons are To
be rolled into bars for high explosive
shells. About 10000 tons were for wire
products. OF the billets, blooms and
bars purchased about 5000 tons each
were for France and Great Britain.
Russia bought between $1,000 and 20,-
600 tons. The value of the steel for the
shells Is placed at approximately $8,-
loo, 900, This, of course, does not in
clude the explosives, fuses or copper
600 purchased were for direct export,
mainly to France. OF the wire pro-
ducts, the bulk of the purchases was
on British account. The total cost of
the wire was estimated at 49, 900, 900.
1t is estimated that since war pur-
chases began actively In this country
contracts for $4,000, 900 shells have
been distributed among American
manufacturers Among the first con-
tracts was one involving 10, 900, 900
shells, said to have been placed with
an eastern Pennsylvania steel COM
pany. About 800, 900 tons of steel are
required for this number of shells,
based upon IN estimate of 3-inch
rounds. Most of the early contracts
were for 3-inch shells, but more re-
Gently 5-lnch to 6-inch shells have
been more popular, and some 9-inch
and even heavier shells have been
placed under contract, calling for a
heavier tonnage Of steel. During the
time purchases Of steel for the
manufacture Of shells in Europe have
been almost as great, estimated at
400, 1000 tons for this years shipments.
1t Is estimated that of the war on
tracts placed thus far at least 100000
tons Of steel have been purchased for
delivery next year. The new inquiries
for steel for shells last week exceeded
400, 900 tons, There Is an enormous
tonnage in prospect. Some estimates
in excess of 1000, 900 tons previ-
ously estimated as next years require

criminality is the Illicit buyer. DISCUS,
ed as an assayer or a sampling works
The trade is lucrative. Those who try
to stop it are hampered by a loose, II
not perverted. public opinion creating
a sneaking sympathy with the poor
miner who takes his small share of
the mine owner's big profit. Besides
such spurious sentiment there Is the
self interest of the mining community.
Those who make money in this nefar-
ious business are prone to the spend
ing of 1t freely in the saloons, gam
bling houses and other places. This
helps local trade, while the gold that
reaches the legitimate owner is likely
to be spent far from the place of its
origin. Hence convictions In local
courts are difficult. In a notorious
case at Cripple Creek. several years
ago, a judge decided that the stealing
of ore was not petty larceny be-
cause mineral var real estate. In that
rich district the fences or Illicit buy
ers became so numerous in the bonan-
"a days that many OF the so-called as
say plants We're dynamited with the
c~onnivance of the mine owners, during
a period of labor disturbance. Thus
n crime was perpetrated to check
another. Indeed, the ineradieable law
lessness of undisciplined mar Is at the
bottom Of 1t all. The labor unions
wink at the evil. The public fails to
see 1t in its true light and even for
gets that 1t Is not the miner, but the
go-between or fence that makes the
most of the profit. Judges and juries
are %lenient, the punishment usually
melted being quite inadequate as a de-
terrent, The idea that the stealing is
done only In mines yielding big divi-
dends serves as a sop to the feeble
minded moralist; but, as a matter of
fact, much of the high grading is per-
petrated in mines in which the aver
age yield is low, although occasional
rich spots in the vein or lode facilitate
theft. The only cure is the recognition
of facts and the di%scarding of an UNI
healthy sentimentality on the part of
the public. What is needed Is more
respect for law and a better recogni-
ton of the distinction between meum
and tuum. To effect that we must be-
gin by calling things by their right
replacing such euphemisms as
high grading by theft and specimen
hunting by stealing. Whether 1t be a
rich mine owner or a small operator
from whom gold Is stolen, whether it
be a hotel or a private house from
which a silver spoon is purloined, the
wrong done is equal, and no sophistry
or sentimentality will change the fact.
The wrong Is not so much to the oWn-
er as to the community, whose code of
conduct is flouted, whose sense of
right is undermined.
