owing to space and time for the work.
but she reports her boys being in
tensely interested. They work before
school, at noon and at recess. Their
work is on problems similar to the
grade work in our own school. With
the start these boys are getting this
year, her work in that school next
year will bring surprisingly good
results.
Some Of the High School students
think they got bargains in their grades
this semester, since the grades were
so marked down.

-FOUR ARE CHARGED
WITH AUTO THEFT
Young Men Arrested On a
Complaint OF Thomas
Deveny.

Accused of stealing an automobile
valued at $4,000, Bert Lynn. Charles
Aultmar, Henry Huhan and George
Huhan, four well known young men
pf Fatrmont, were arrested early yes
terday morning in Clarksburg by local
,constables ana brought to Falrmont.
where they appeared before Justice
1pft the Peace NJ. r. Musgrove and were
kold that bail bonds of $500 each would
be required for their release.
The complaining witness is Thomas
As. Deveny, owner of the Marietta Ho-
tel. The car was taken a week ago,
and 1t is said that the young men, or
at least some of them, had intoxicaL-
Ing liquor with them, and that during
the week the car was in their posses
sion they enjoyed themselves to the
limit.
Last Saturday officers armed with
warrants for the young mems arrest
started out on the trail of the miss
ing car which was found in Oakland,
but the young men had fed. They
were overtaken by the officers in
sCiarksburg and were arrested in a
5ClRrksburg hotel at 4 o'clock yester-
day morning.
All four of the men were i'll, it is
said, at the time of their arrest and
one OF them was taken to Fairmont
hospital for treatment.
The men arrested allege that they
rented the car from son of Mr.. Dew
seny and that they are not guilty OF
stealing it.

to some of them. For the fiscal year
beginning July 1, 1913. the state board
of public works laid the state levy at
one cent. Such levy was too low to
meet the demands that same upon the
state in that fiscal year, notwithstand-
ing the state was collecting revenue
from the liquor business. However,
it Is to be remembered that the great
Kanawha valley strike entailed in the
state an unexpected expenditure OF
over 100000 during that fiscal year.
For the fiscal year beginning July /,
1913, the state board of public works
laid the state levy at six cents, al
though it had the authority to lay 1t as
high as ten. A six-cent levy was not
sufficient, Notwithstanding the state
was collecting revenue from the liquor
business. An adult of the states af-
fairs, made pursuant to the public &C.
counting act, and filed the 31st of De-
cember. 1914, disclosed the condition
Of the states affairs and the deficits
referred to and the approximate deficit
that the state will face June Both next.
Knew the Effect.
The people of the state knew, when
they voted to ratify the prohibition
amendment, that they were voting
away the revenue from the liquor bust
ness. 1t is an insult to their intelli-
gence 70 suggest turning again to the
liquor business for revenue They
also know that with the growth and
advancement of the state came the
natural increase in state expenditures
for education, protection to the work
ing man and those dependent upon
him. and aid to those stricken by dis
ease as affecting. not only themselves,
but the public as well. And the peo-
pie, when they voted upon prohibition,
expected the legislature to make nee
essary provision to meet the changed
conditions.
Suspension OF Payments.
The state auditor and the state
treasurer have suspended payments
out of the general revenues of the
state for the reason that there are no
funds This is hailed with acclaim by
the liquor people. have already in
dictated some of the causes leading up
to this. Let us go further. The legis-
lature, at the session of 1913. did not
know there would be a deficit of $780,
10000 for the fiscal year ending June
30. 1913. and consequently made no
provision therefor. The legislature of
1915 was informed of the financial
condition OF the state by the audit and
examination heretofore referred to
and in addition thereto by the several
messages OF the governor. including a
resolution of the board of public
works. Yet the legislature. with such
Information, made no provision to take
care of the deficit existing and that
will exist June Both next The legis-
lature having failed to make provision
for the existing conditions. it is very
doubtful whether the state has au-
thority to borrow money when suffci-
ent revenues have not been provided
to repay the loans. While it is true
revenue measures to take care of the
present condition, if enacted at the
last session of the legislature, might
not have brought in immediate reve-

Liqour Revenue Not the Solution.
This state need not suffer for nee
essary revenue. She has resources
that will give her ample revenue for
all OF her legitimate needs when the
legislature will enact the necessary
revenue measures. The enactment of
such measures will not impose any
unfair or unnecessary or heavy bur
den upon any person or upon any in
terest The state is a great store
house of natural wealth; she has
great resources. and her possibilities
are almost without limit
Let us demonstrate concretely that
fiscal body which puts its trust In
the liquor business for revenue leans
upon a broken reed. Ohio recently
rejected prohibition Mark these fig
ures: For every dollar OF revenue col.
lected in some of the larger cities in
the state OF Ohio, 40 cents thereof
goes to sinking funds and to pay in
| terest on bonded indebtedness. Take
the city Of Cinncinnati-that recently
on face OF returns, gave 1900 votes
for ratification of a prohibition amend
ment and $4,000 against. The city
has 800 saloons and an annual income
therefrom Of S42S .o0O.0O. And yet the
city has a bonded Indebtedness of
$61.000.00, and a municipal levy of
S1.54 on each 500 of valuation. Take
the city of Cleveland, that recently
gave $1,000 votes for prohibition and
1900 votes against. The city has

Indebtedness of $1.367,4S2. 10000. with
an annual interest charge thereon of

spective boroughs OF the city. The
city pays $17,000.000 year to main
tain her police department required,
in part, to protect the city against the

that the city of New York spends in
| interest charges alone fifteen times as
much money every year as the state
of West Virginia appropriEtes out of
her general revenue to maintain her
government and institutions and over
100000 contributed to her local pub
lis schools? Did it ever occur to you
that the city of New York, to main

nearly seven times as much annually
as the state of West Virginia appro-

ing the criminal class, collected from

81. $4,000. The Cook county infirm-
airy, built year before last, has over
$500 inmates, and they are finding It
necessary to put cots in the corridors
to help take care of the overflow. The
county Jail is crowded to the point of
indecency. and already there is a
strong demand that it be enlarged.
The superintendent of the inflrmary
says that $50 per cent OF the inmates
are there because of drink" The SUI
perintendent of the jail says that "at
least 95 per cent of its inmates are
there for the same cause, and one of
the sad features about 1t all is that
large part OF the inmates in the jail
are yet young fellows" Take the city
of Pittsburgh. The city has IT'S sa-
looms, with a revenue of $705,000 an
nually, and expends to keep a police
department and for charity $1.563,526
-three-ffthsaa as much as appropriated
in West Virginia for the purposes be-
fore stated. Take Baltimore. with.

600. and a tax rate reaching $1.92 on

Our neighbors are wet and we are dry.
1t is not right, however. to con-
slider the question from a monetary
standpoint. Men, not money. are the
real assets of state. The happiness
and the general welfare of its citi-
zens are the first obligations OF the
state.
Conclusion.
The building of the Panama canal
will probably make the Gulf of Mexico
to the western hemisphere what the
Mediterranean is to the eastern hemi-
sphere. With the return OF peace and
the rehabilitation of nations now at
war, there will pass by us new cur
rents of trade. With the coming of
peace there will come, perhaps. the
fiercest of contests for trade and trade
supremacy upon the high seas and
shifting of races. If any nation at war
should annihtlate its enemy, particu-
larly its naval power, without practi-
cal destruction to it's own naval power.
do not be surprised If that nation shall
attempt to appropriate to itself the
high seas and the markets of the

is not undermined by strong drink.

first of all nations has become the
nation OF national prohibition. 1t may
be that Providence in His kindness
to this favored nation OF ours Is pre-
pairing us for the duties and trials
that lie ahead OF US. by putting into
the minds and hearts OF our people to
become a nation in which the manu-
facture and sale of strong drink shall
cease, and that our people, in mind
and body. shall be clear and strong to
meet whatever emergencies may come.

in the fiscal year then ending the state
collected as much revenue from the
liquor business as in any year that
the state collected such revenue Now.
inasmuch as we had deficits for two
succeeding years before prohibition
came into effect, what shall the liquor
people say, and their friends say. in
their efforts to create the impression
that the deficit in West Virginia ex-
lists solely today because she is a pro-
hibition state. There are reasons for
the deficit that the state faces today.
we shall not refer to all OF them, but
