their habits of uncleanliness and to
the emaciated condition in which most
of them find themselves because of the
high prices of foodstuffs makes it i'm
possible for them to obtain sufficient
nourishment.
Medicine Prices High.
The stock of medicines in the city
is very low and such as are to be had
are so high priced as to be beyond the
reach of any of the well-to-do. The
government announced through the
press this morning that it will take
steps to force druggists to sell what
medicines they have at prices possible
for the people in general. Medical at
tendance for a great majority of the
sufferers is out of the question, due
to lack of funds.
For the last week more than fifty
bodies a day have been taken out of
one general hospital alone as result
of the fever.
Unless drastic measures are taken
by the authorities it is predicted by
physicians that the plague will sweep
the capital and neighboring towns dur
ing the first two months of the coming
year.

T:he administration OF the law -
delegated 10 the commission OF In

Section seven. article one. Of the
constitution provides that "al1 bills
raising revenue shall originate IN the
House Of representatives..
It is on this section of the cor
stitution that the plaintiffs in the SUIT
rely, together with the calm that the
smith bill was In the class referred
to in the constitutional requirement
and the fact that the law was nrs-
passed by the Senate.
The courts may or may not dectco
the case in favor OF the government
The fact remains that by the exercise
of ordinary care and forethought, the
Democrats could have prevented az
doubt and litig:lion on this potnA Dy
the simple expedient of first passins
the measure in the House.
Their failure to exercise such care
still further contributes to the IN
creasing evidence OF Democratic stoV-
enlfness and inef1ctency.

PRESS COMMENTS ON HIGHLAND

Republicans of West Virginia. 1t Is
an honor deserved by Mr.. Highland.
Ranking as the most important
purely political post I'm the Rift OF
the partymen of the state. the mem
bership in the national committee
carries with it grave responsible
fity. Its holder is not only vested
with a large amount of power. but
he is given a trust that unusual
ability is required to carry out. a
member OF the national committee
must be a big man.
No one acquainted with Mr. High
land VIII doubt that he measures up
to specifications Not only has he
been an active worker for the Repub-
lican party since young manhood.
but he is one of the states foremost
business men. He has made place
for himself in the city Of Clarksburg
that cannot be denied. He Is idensi-
fed with many moves. of progress.
and is known as business man OF
the modern type.
It was well that a successor should
be chosen for William Seymour EG-
wards, because of that gentleman's
past proclivities to listen to blandtsn.
ments that worked evil In 1912. II
lie emfnently lifting that his successor
should be MI. Highland.

Those who Imagined that William

facturers and business men with 1nef-
ficfency, has been assuring them that
times were prosperous and that their
failure to realize the fact was due
solely TO their own stupidity and their
business. But when the terrible
1000 lives, brought charges OF cr1in-
ifai ineficiency in the steamboat IN
Epectfon service, for which Mr.. Red

demonstrate his ability and his era sp
or the subject. when marine archi-
teets declared that it had been long
known that the ill-fated Eastland was
Snsnroperly constructed and lacked
stability, Mr.. Redf1eld made the sage
announcement that 1t was no more
the business of the federal inspectors
to determine the stability OF passen.

city authorities to determine the sta
bilfty of buildings-
Some one must have told him, how

buildings for now Mr.. Redfield has
Instructed that the federal inspectors
