the West Virginia Debt Commission,
appointed by Governor Hatfield to
look after the interests of West Vir-
ginia in the controversy with Vir-
ginia over the old commonwealth debt,
now hopes to secure a material reduc-
ton from the $12,39S ,929 awarded to
Virginia by the United States Su-
preme Court last June.
An error, it was stated, had been
found in the calculations as they were
passed upon by one of the lower
courts during the progress of the liti-
cation and it had not been found until
recently.
1t also was stated that certain mem
bers of the commission were in COM
munication with members of the Vir-
ginia commission in the hope of reach
ing compromise amount consider
ably smaller than that ordered paid
by the Supreme Court. Meantime in
terest on the judgment as it stands
is piling up at the rate of 1,697 day.
A Period of TWO Years.
The Williamson charter created
by the Legislature last winter,
giving to the governor the power
to appoint any officials to serve for a
period of two years, has been held to
be constitutional in an opinion written
by Judge Williams, of the state SUI
preme court. The decision permits Or
lando II. Booton, editor of a William
son newspaper, to take his seat as
mayor, as well as the other commits
sioners appointed by Gov Hatfield to
supplant Democrats. The court makes
1t clear that if a political error has
been made in the enactment of legisla-
ton giving to a state executive the
power to appoint city officials, the
error is on the part of the legislature
and that it alone can correct the error.
The charter, the constitutionality of
which is now sustained, changed the
control of the city affairs of William
son from mayor and councilmen to
five commissioners, named by the gov
ernor for a period of two years, after
which the citizens of Williamson will
elect their own commissioners. The
court held that the legislature was not
prohibited by the constitution from es-
tablishing new municipalities and pro-
viding for their government by officers
to be appointed by the governor. Judge
Poffenbarger filed a dissenting opinion,
holding that the legislature exceeded
its power in providing for the appoint

when plenty of time was allowed be-
tween the passage of the act and until

Teachers Pension Bill Fails Again

Des Moines, March 25.-For the
second time, the house defeated the
Grayson bill to establish teachers
annuities system in Iowa. The vote
this time was 48 for and 80 against
The affirmative vote being five less
than it had been when the bill was
first defeated on March II.
The absence Of twenty-one mem
bers from the house was a large fac
tor in defeating the bill At the
same time it was strehuously at
tackled by Moore of Guthrie and Mil
Ter Of Bremen. Moore argued that
members of other professions were
as much entitled to pensions as
teachers. Miller repudiated the plat
form pledge of the democratic party
which declared for teachers pensions.
He declared he did not consider his
party had right to bind him on
such proposition.
Taylor of Buchanan, Tucker of
Clinton, Crozier of Marion, the auth
or of the bill, and several others ar
gued at considerable length it's desir-
able features. They showed how it
might raise the standard of the
teaching profession, how it might
help to keep good teachers in Iowa,
how it would do justice to an impor-
tant branch of the state service.
the second vote had been made
possible by the success of motion
to econsider the vote by which the
bill was at first defeated. This mo-
ton had prevailed on March II and
i: had been expected at that time
that the bill would pass. Evidently
too many OF its friends were absent
yesterday.

He kept the middle of the road and
did his level hest
A simple, ordinary man, in common
garments dressed;
The one ambition that he had was
just to keep his brood
Supplied with shoes and clothing
warm, and filled with whole
some food.
He never made a bid for fame, nor
seemed to want to roam,
The only crowd he ever led was just
the few at home.
He never whimpered at his lot, when
extra burdens came,
He never told his WEAKNESS or spoke
of being lame,
But trudged along from day to day
and did the best he could
And seemed content if those at home
his efforts understood.
A simple, ordinary man, who faced
each day of strife NJ
That he might give to those he loved
some happiness in life.
The wishes of his wife, and babes to
him were stern commands,
1t kept him straining at the yoke to
meet their new demands.
He had no time for selfish play, no
days to sit and rest,
Each morning brought the ceaseless
grind, each evening closed a
test.
And always as he turned away from
home and shut the door
The pack of burdens on his back
weighed just little more.
He never sought the joys of fame, nor
brilliant tried to be,
The patch of blue above his home
was all he wished to see;
In simple toll he spent his life, the
simples prizes gained,
A back street, cozy little house
where love and sweetness
reigned,
A wife, whose every word was kind
and every look a smile,
A set OF happy little tots that made
each care worth while.
He kept the middle of the road, and
did his level best,
He turned his back upon the east and
bravely faced the west,
And all he ever earned or owned to
those he loved he gave,
And to their joys and their desires he
made himself slave;
This simple, ordinary man, content
in life to do
The common tasks became at last a
hero to the few.

HORRIBLY CRUEL
 TO ARMENIANS
Long Report Given Out by
 An Eye Witness

LONDON, Oct. 30-A correspon- dent with the Dardanelles fleet has sent in long report of Armenian atrocies as given to him by an eye witness. The report is from an of- ficial source, inasmuch as it was given by an Armenian officer serv- ing in the Turkish army, and made prisoner by the British.
 The atrocities began early last March and covers the travels about various parts of Armenia, and gives details of how the bishop of Sivas was shod with shoes of red hot iron by village blacksmith; and on the order of the Turks, how men of Tokat were tied together in groups of four and taken out 100 at a time to the marshy districts for massacre.
 The account describes how women were tied to the tails of oxcarts and exposed to hunger and rough wealth 1T until they accepted conversion to he Moslem faith or death. How mothers were bayoneted before the eyes of their children. How girls were distributed as chattels among civil and military officials.
 The prisoner says that as a sol dier he himself was compelled to as sist in many masacres, being on one occasion a member of a party of 40 soldiers which superintended the death of 800 Armenians. His account closes as follows:
 "There is reason to believe that German advisers of the Turks have urged upon them undesirability of allowing a large alien and presum- able unfriendly population to habit ports which lie open to Russian at tacks."

AT THE GRAND TONIGHT

The Mystery of Wickham Hall, three reel production featuring the clever emotional star, we have be- come accustomed to seeing at the Grand once a week for some time. In this character we see the expres- sions of Rose, then Judith, then we connect her with the Trey Q Hearts. In this picture she carries the two parts, first she is the mother then the daughter. The story begins with her a babe in her unhappy mothers arms, then the terrible tragedy which furnishes the title for the story. After many years have passed this babe has grown to a beautiful girl, who like her mother is being forced into an un- happy marriage. On the stroke of twelve the ghost appears to the daughter of the house on her we'd ding eve, and the mystery of Wick ham Hall is revealed.
 The Gambler, is a single reel drama, and tells an exceptionally good story.

THOMAS A. EDISON WANTS TO
 ABANDON OLD CUSTOM
Does Not Favor Accumulation of
 Vast Quantity of Ammunition

Thomas A. Edison, while on his way east the other day from his visit to the San Francisco Fair, gave his idea of what should constitute preparedness" for the United States. In outlining his plans, he said in part:
 Instead of fighting with blood with men, mean-we should fight with machines capable of destroying twenty times as many enemy" said Edison. America is the greatest country in the world. By utilizing our ideas in the manufacture of fighting machines we may save our men and increase our strength twenty-fold.
 "We do not need an enormous standing army, but we need host of trained officers, who in turn, can train volunteers in the use of war machines. The American is the quickest minded human being in the world in things mechanical, and in our next war we will need not soldiers but machinists."
 Edison is opposed to string great quantities of ammunition in prepar- ation for war.
 'tLet us instead erect factories and accumulate steel and copper bill lets whereby such ammunition can be turned out" he said. "We know now how much podwer Europe is using in it's war. Let us erect plants which can turn out twice that amount.And let us construct machines that can turn out twice as many shells daily as Europe is using.
 "But do not let us manufacture this powder or these shells. That would be an economic waste. Just keep the machinery greased up, so that it can be started any day. Then, if it is necessary to start it, the United States will be in a posi- tion to turn out daily twice as much war munitions as Europe is using"
