Another Extra session The Legis-
lature.

Gov. Hatfield announced definitely in
Charleston this week that he would in
a few days issue call converting the
Legislature in second extra session.
And this right on the heels of the lift
ing of the moratorium and the payment
of $119 600 of claims last Tuesday by
State Treasurer Long.
The news that there is to be another
extra session is sickening to the people
of West Virginia who know that it's
sole purpose is to wiring from them
more taxes. 1t is the duty of the leg
islature to provide for the just obIigat-
ions of the state, but from the conflict
ing and confusing statements of the
State officials it is impossible to know
the extent of the deficiency, how Great
ed and what it consists of, if indeed
there be any deficiency at all. These
matters cannot possible be determined
! to the satisfaction of the people except
by searching Investigation by an i'm
partial and trust worthy expert. I'm
til such an investigation and report is
had, we hope the Democrats of the
Legislature will vote as q unit against
any and all measuses increasing the
taxes. Monroe Waterman.

What VIII The End Be?

To count ten or hundred before
giving voice to an angry tongue is
an admonitation that very few
people in this country were guild
ed by since the outrageous sink
ing of the Lusitania.
Our President fguratiYely
counted thousand, and calm and
cool as he has beer about it, we
know it has been no easy task.
Thousands of would be presi-
nt's, some of high degree,
would have had us afloat on the
full tide of war by this time, but
millions are thankful that Wood
row Wilson occupies that seat in
stead.
If President Wilson had studied
year before giving voice to his
demands for our Country, he
could not have formulated more
dignified nor more complete
state paper than the note sent to
Germany. And the whole coun-
try is forming about him in a
solid mass to back his demands.
The demands of honor know
no limit except death. This step
may mean that for our country,
for the balancing scales of the
war in Europe, are yet even.
The apparently inexhaustable
supplies for Germany and their
desperate and determined grit
and courage may outweigh and
exhaust, first the pocket, then the
patience, then finally the logic
of her opponents, which now
knows no other result than final
triumph to insure the people the
peace OF the world.
It does not seem, to the inn
partial citizen of the world at
large, that the triumph of Ger
many can in any way advance or
improve conditions outside of
Germany. But God moves in a
mysterious way his wonders to
perform. He gave Palestine to
the jews and took it away from
them. Christianity heavenly
fettered CROPPED through fog and
morass many centuries before the
light of a new day dawned upon
the world, the day in which we
live. Is it a perfect day? Is the
triumph of England. needed to

whip and scourage to clean it out!
