Eye Strain.

There are two common kinds OF eye
strain. 1t is strain for a person
who Is farsighted TO do close work.
and ii is a strain for one who is near
sighted to use the eyes for distances
Both kinds of eye strain produce the
same ms-headache-and both
require that the eyes be examined and
glasses be provided.

Why Wait !?

The need for a new County Jail
is urgent.
u. The present structure is inse-
cure and in a delapidated and
unsanitary condition and it would
be waste of money'to try to repair
it and install the necessary plumb
ing and other equipment to make
it fit place in which to house
human beings.
To force the unfortunates who
are confined in jail to submit to
being crowded into cell space
utterly insufficient from the stand
point of health and decency is to
subject them to cruel and UNI
usual punishment" prohibited
under our Constitution.
Why therefore should our
County Court await the erection
of the Federal Building on the
present Jail site before beginning
the new jail, SO sorely needed ?
The credit of the County is
good, building material is cheap
er than it is likely to be later on,
labor is abundant.
So why not NOW

Alexander Clohan.

The passing away of Alexander
Clohan of Martinsburg, removes
forceful and remarkable charac-
ter from the sphere in which he
had during a busy and useful
lifetime made himself known and
liked for many estirnable qualities.
For years a dominant factor in
Republican politics in the Eastern
Panhandle, after closing his long
tenure Of the Post Office at Mar
tinsburg, he devoted himself to
fruit culture in which he. attained
success, being recognized as one
of the most progressive growers
in the entire section.
He gave unstintingly of his

the promotion of the industry of
which he was regarded as an

AS man and a Mason he will
long be remembered as one who
made good in every phase of his

He seemed to be feeling the force of

LabOr's Share Amounts TO More Than
Has Been Supposed.

The popular superstition that four
fifths of the profits of the industry goes
into the Golfers of the capitalist, while
only one-ffth remained for labor has
been shown to be over whelmingly
erroneous. On the contrary, labor re-
ceives out of the profits of industry
two-thirds, while the capitalist who
makes the investments and builds the
business. receives the remaining one
third Out of the one-third of the re-
turn belonging to the capitalist must
be subtracted whatever percentage is
to be taken up on account of depreciat-
ion.
The result of accertaining- the pro-
portions of industry received by capital
and labor, was worked out by Com
mlttee of the National Civic Federation.
The Committee wasscomposed of W. J..
Pope, of Waterbury, Conn. Prof. John
B. Clark. of Columbia University: and
the Rev. John A. Ryan, of St. Paul's
Seminary, St. Paul, MINI.
Their conclusion was reached after
examining and analyzing statistics
covering the labors of 10 000;000 wage-
earners, or more than twenty-five per
cent, of the gainfully employed in this
country" says the Literary Digest.
+ The statistics examined embrace the
census figures covering for manufact-
uring; mines and quarries: the Inter-
Estate Commerce Commissions returns
for steam railroads and express COM
panies; and the financial statement of
the American Telephone and Telegraph
Company. Farmers and farm laborers
are not taken into account.
The census figures from which the
report makes its findings are not new
figures. They are the showings for
1899 and 1904. The difference between
that time and this has been gradually
growing in favor of the side of labor.
Hence it is to be concluded that the
capitalists profits are decreasing, both
in the aggregate and allowing for de-
probation.
The report concludes with this sum
mary; If in the future an increased
output per worker should result from
betterments in the application as cap
ital or labor Or both to industry, ex-
perience seems to show that the work
er would secure the major part of such
increase -

Those 4Types" Again.

We are brought to task by a
New York reader who asks us if
when we said recently that
moral America no longer sneezes
when Wall street takes snuff''
we intended to arraign New York
as an immoral city in comparison
with the rest of the country.
To which we disclaim any such
Pecksnif6an intention.
What we wrote was Rural
America &C.. But then as much
may be rightfully blamed on our
chirography as on "the types!

Munitions And Morality.

The reproach to America for furnish
ing war material to our enemies is not
fair. 1t is unjust. 1t was Germany
herself who in The Hague discussion
defeated the proposal to forbid the
shipment of war material from neutral
States to belligerents. There exists
only an agreement prohibiting ship
ments by neutral Governments to belli-
gerents. The American Government
has furnished no war materials. Editor
Eugene Zimmerman in the Berliner
Lokak- Anzeiger.
Succinct and to the point, and leay-
ing to be added just one thought.
The sale Of war munitions by individ
uals and corporations of neutral States
is right not only legally and ''neutrally"
but morally. Its moral foundation is
the principle that non military count
ry must have access to neutral mark.
cts when it's independence and it's life
are threatened by nation founded up
on tmilitarism" and, therefore, pre-
pared for aggression Exchange.

Wishing.

I've only blu. to bend my head
To see the Western skies grow red
Beyond the home I used to know,
And hear the gentle cattle low
As they come to the pasture bars.
And see the vanguard Of the stars
Come dimIy into the pale SKY.
And hear the whippoorwiIl's sad cry,
And feel the alI-pervading love
Of the old home wearied of.
And have but to close my eyes
To hear my mothers luIlabyes,
And feel myself grow young again.
And be boy as l was then.
With cotton line and alder pole
Beside the old-time fishing hole,
Neglected line and hook and bait,
And sitting till the hour grows late,
A little figure all alone,
Wishing and wishing l were grown,
That poor. pathetic little tad!
With all on earth to make him glad
Waiting with longing for the years
eOf disappointment and of tears!
The years are good. the tasks to do,
The chance to stand straight strong
and true,
Head sup, for all you thought worth
while,
To meet misfortune with smile;
But / think grown-ups now and then
All wish that they. were young again.

Fewer Arrests In Dry Year.

Fifty towns and cities of West Vir-
ginia have reported to the State De-
partment of Prohibition on the COM
parative to the arrests for the the past
two years. the first wet year. the
last "dry year" The record shows
the total number of arrests in 1913 1914
in SO towns was IA, 971 and in 1914 1915,
the States first dry year, ending the
first day of this month, it was 1858.
The comparative arrests for drunken.
ness in the two years were 1853 to g.
730. In this record the larger cities of
the State except Parkersburg, are in
cluded.
Twelve of the so towns show more
arrests were made in the dry than in
the wet year. These towns are New

Consistency.

There are two amusing fea-
lures about the Virginia Debt
situation-if so serious a matter
can have any amusing feature.
Those sections of West Vir-
ginia whose citizens bust a
hame string" to tear away, at
any cost, from the old Mother
State are now the loudest squeal-
ers against paying any part of
the cost of the operation.
Virginia, standing on her Dig
nifty, disclaimed any mercenary
designs in bringing the suit,
claiming that she was merely ac-
ting as in honor bound to protect
the interests of her bondholders,
and claimed no part of the debt
if collected.
Now with a juicy "melon"
about to be cut, she wants to
handle the fund and numerous
Virginia claims for services
rendered" are being advanced.
The Supreme Court will doubt
less appoint its own receiver to
pay over the money to those to
whom under its decree it should
go.
Pretty sordid though, these two
phases of a case in which patriot
ism was supposed to be the key
note.

FAUST WILL FEATURE NINTH
ANNUAL MAY MUSIC FESTIVAL
uounod's Famous Opera by Home Cast Friday
May 7---ConCerts by College Band and
Orchestra on Festival Program

In the preparation of the pro-
gram for the May Music Festival
this year, radical departure has
been made. In years past it has
been the policy to feature outside
talent, but this time the program
Will be in the nature of a demon
stration of what the music depart
ment of the College is doing and the
results it is accomplishing. While
people like to hear famous musi-
clans, they take, as a rule, a much
deeper interest in a program pre-
sented by local talent and for that
reason the festival this year is like
ly to prove bigger drawing card
and greater success than usual.
The program is well balanced and
high class in every particular and is
aimed to give the public compre-
hensive idea of the musical talent
of w. S. c. students, the ability of
the faculty and the splendid results
which they are attaining. The fes-
tival will open with a concert by the
College orchestra, next Thursday
evening, at which the following pro-
gram will be rendered
