Charles Hitchcock Sheriff., lawyer.
former United States minister to Ar

was born in Washington as years ago
today. In his college days he held the
100-yard and 220-yar9 championships
for three successive years and estab-
lished new American amateur records
for several distances. He began prac-
ticing law in New York in 1891 and be-
came prominent in that profession
and in Republican politics. President
Taft sent him to Buenos Ayres as
minister to Argentina in 1909. Mr..

OF the war n remained there some
time, making a special study of Rus

the bill for the construction OF this
great waterway was passed by the
New York Assembly just a century ago

canal was commenced at Rome. N.

and down that stream to New York
City, where a great celebration was
held. This largest of American artts

Lake Erie and extends to the Hudson
at Albany. a distance of 3S7 miles.
The canal is now being enlarged by
state of New York to a depth OF IL

pass barges having a net tonnage
capacity of 1000 tons each. Until this
improvement was undertaken the cost
of the construction, enlargement and
maintenance of the canal had been
$50, $40, 800, but the state expects to

OUR BIRTHRIeHT.

s# CThes following comprehensive editorial appears in the current number Of
IheEBar, written by Prof w P. Wiley, the editor, and at one time editor of
the Wheeling Regster)
the natural resources Of this State are a part of the wealth Of the
state al a State. Every individual citizen of the State has an interest in and
IL a beneficiary o that wealth although he may no Ia direct title to n
part of it, "
s*s He shares in that wealth by reasono Of the business prestige it gives
tpAthes State; by the fact that it attracts capital, creates industries, puts
bG getting al individual share in the general prosperity A mar who wants
10 develop IN individual business will prefer a wealthy community o a DOC
one. IA man who wants to select a residence will prefer a wealthy State to a
poor one that has less chance of development Any businesses hat is backed
directly used in the business, will attract patronage. 1t spells prosperity t.
the public eye. and the averagem n likes to deal with that kind of IN inHt
tuition .t.
Moreover the State asserts its property in its natural resources by
5thetrswaste and combining their Use TO purposes that will inure to the benefit
fpft the whole state
IN a very large and liberal sense, therefore, these natural resources ire
a property o Inc State 8 a State. n every individual citizen has q mater
laIinterest in them.
But under the present situation the title to h ethreep principal sources
of West Virginia, Its coal, Ill and gas has passed to strangers h are lot
cthzens Of the State, and h are transporting them of the State to
markets to maxi other communities prosperous and W e are getting
denuded5 OF Its principal wealth; we will have parted with the basis of a great
development and prosperity; we will have lost the prestige of a very rh
etateaand we. will b. rateda as a poe impoverished State which capital and
population will pass by. We will have sold or btrthrght for a ness of
portage.
We believe that we now face a crisis in the history of this State. we
are surprised at the attitude of r legislators and the apathy Of u people
towarda matter thattnvoves the future of the State more hn n other.
49, West Virginia, every individual citizen of West Virginia, is entitled to
Eet some little benefit from its great natural resources. Under existing 20
scondt1ons they Will e carried away in a fey year without. leaving a pennys
worth to the State. Evidently thu only hope u, the State realizing anything
rom its principal wealth is to impose even a small Ia o. h esources that
are being shipped out. A small fraction OF a tax on the three principal re-
sources would furnish all the revenue for the needs of the State nd relieve
It's citizens of any tax by way Of compensation or thu loss of hi natural
fnherftances. .
Evidently this is but just and equitable. What honest objection car be
made to II?

ly the two large items. the loss of
liquor revenue and the enormous
extraordinary expense of keeping the
militia in the strike region on Paint
creek, there would still be necessity
for raising more money to cover the
deficit and to maintain the institutions
of the state in a respectable name
The reason for this is hat the state
Is growing in population from year
to year, additions have to be made to
its public buildings to keep pace with
the increase in population, the ex
penses Of the state are growing from
year to year for the same reason that
1t costs more to support a family of
five than it does to keep a family of
three. The population of the state has
almost doubled within the last fifteen
years and we now have % institutions
to keep up. while we had only eight
of revenue provided, the state tax
had been practically eliminated, and
why should not the funds run low
under such circumstances?
The statistics show that the ost of
administering the government OF this
state is a little owe 5000 per capita.
many times less than hat OF our
neighboring states, and much lower
thai most all the other states of the
Union. This expense could be doubled
and then the cost of government
would be several times less than that
of Ohio and Pennsylvania and would
be no hardship upon the people to
raise.
This deficit is no new thing. The
legislature had the figures laid before
it at the beginning OF the session. For
the first time in the history of the
state a complete audit of the states
affairs was placed before the legis.
lature.
On June 80, 1913. there was a deficit
of S96S ,19S.27. On June 80, 1914, there
was a deficit of $3.50. 6o3.63, and on
the 18th of March. 1915. when pay

ten in age, and he is considered as one
of the ablest, as well az the most ex-
perienced of the Cars military lead
ers. The chief of the victorious army
in one of the most momentous sieges
of modern times has had much ex-
%perience in actual warfare. AS a
young officer In his early thirties he
fought in the Russo-Turkish war of
1877 n distinguished himself in
many engagements with the armies
of the Sultan. That conflict estab-
ltshed the independence Of Serbia,
Montenegro and Roumania, made Bull
garia a tributary principality and set
it on the road to freedom, and won
for Russia many advantages, as we'll
as a large indemnity from Turkey.
General Seliamoff achieved distinction
with the Russia expedition tent to the
relief OF the embassies at Pekin dur
ing the Boxer uprising in China. In
the war with Japan he led an army
in Manchuria and displayed ability
and valor in his contests with the
little brown men OF Nippon. After
the was he became a member of the
upper house OF the Russian parlia-
ment, the council of the. empire. At
the outbreak of the war he left the
assembly to again take the field, and
after service In several parts of the
war area he was placed in charge of
the besieging army at Przemysl. There
he faced a difficult task. but by adopt
ing a wearing down policy he was
eventually successful. By his victory
the Russian general conferred a boon
upon English-speaking people. since
the tongue-twisting "Przemysl" was
changed to Permysl.
