millions of dollars for money in the

this, as feel sure that do. and as

The, Cattle Epidemic.

While the loss and Inconvenience
consequent to the rigid quaran-
tine established to stamp out the
Foot and Mouth Disease is SER
ious, the State and Federal au-
thorities are to be commended for
the prompt and energetic manner
in which they are handling the
situation.
Individual hardship and loss is
unavoidable, but the general well
fare is paramount and it is be-
lieved-thanks to the intelligent
and thorough measures now being
enforced-tliat the epidemic will
be stamped out within very
short time.
It is hoped that by April first
the quarantine will be raised to
admit of movement to new quar-
tiers by those who are changing
their domiciles this year.
A serious effect of the plague
is the interference with spring
sales.
The only thing to do is to
cheerfully carry out the instruc-
tions of the authorities and the
visitation will soon be thing OF
the past.
So far, Jefferson has suffered
less than her neighbors, com.

Debt Defense Management.

At the present rate Of expendi-
ture West Virginians ma fbegin
to feel that it might be as we'll to
pay off the Virginia DEBIT GER
tificates and be done with it.
Already a sum exceeding a
hundred and ninety Thousand
dollars has been spent in a pitiful
defense" of the States interests.
Money has been poured out like
water to provide fat fees for polit-
ical hangers on of the Republican
State machine-some of them
without standing at the bar and
too evidently employed not be-
cause Of their ability or know
ledge OF the case but to discharge
political, if not personal debts, OF
those in authority.
Sooner or later the reasons for
the employment of some OF these
legal luminaries and the evasion
of personal liability for expense in
other suits, will be ventilated.
Ten, fifteen or even twenty
thousand dollar fees to lawyers
who by reason of their profound
legal knowledge and reputation
had achieved eminence, might
not be out of the way in big
case.
If the State had entrusted its
defense, in the first instance, to
West Virginia lawyers of high
rank in their profession who pos
sessed.a knowledge OF the many
intricacies of the case such men
as John Holt and w. F. Hub
bard-it might have Jared better
than at the hands of foreign at
torneys, however competent.
But nothing can condone the
employment of many of those bet
ter known as politicians. of a
sort, than as lawyers, who have
been taking down huge fees and
expenses, not so much for real
service rendered, but in payment
of political obligations to the APP
pointing power.
Until VIM. Nd. O. Dawson had
another berth found for him he
was retained at five thousand
dollars a year and expenses, al.
though up to that time he had
never tried case in court and
was not generally known.to even
hold a legal diploma.
Dean Hogg has received be
tween sixteen and seventeen thou
sand dollars probably more thar
he has earned in fees in his whole
previous legal career,

penses gets twenty two hundred

UNEMPL0YED.-There has been
an awful lot Of talk about the Unem-
ployed here lately and that is about
as far as it goes.
To relieve the unemployed the prop
er thing to do is to have Mayor Har-
rison appoint, a COMMITTEES. Said
committee may get together, the
chances being against its doing SO.
Then said committee must organize
and map out a plan, elect ofdcers,
have a lot Of stationery, books and
other red tape, and all Of sudden
they find out there is no money left,
so it is allowed to die natural death.
OF course, there is no way to start
widening 18th St, or any Of the i'm
proVements they have been asking
money for. That would be doing
something that would give some peO-
pie work and that is what the big
business firms do not want US to
have until they get higher rates for
