tureeof Governor Hatfield as the las

Place aux Danes.

The Legislature bowed grace
fully to the will of the good
women who appealed to them for
the right to present their case to
the tribunal of public opinion
next year.
True, many members reversed
themselves in voting for the mea-
sures they strenuous1y opposed
at the last session.
But that is not diseredita BILE.
They may have experienced a
change of conviction, heard
from home" seen a great light,
or have even been fortunate
enough since then to come under
the benign influence of some
charming Suffragist, whose good
opinion they may desire per-
haps, more than other earth ly
thing just now.
Our prediction is that the
amendment will carry easily, if
not by quite so heavy majority
as did the Prohibition Amend
ment at the last General election.
Regardless of the merits of the
proposition, we could never see
how State representative could
deny his constituents the right
to vote on any important matter
they demand.
His position would be entirely
consistent if he voted to submit
and then exercised his individual
privilege to vote against the
measure itself when up for ratifi-.
cation.
The question of whether GER
tain issues are subjects for fed
eral submission is quite another
matter and to be passed on with
due regard for the preservation
of the rights OF the States.
1t looks as if West Virginia
were approaching the problem
from the right angle.

sl4,O70,l2l Figured As Vireinia's
Claim.

The dealings in New York in Brown
Bros. Virginia deferred debt certificates
continues to receive the attention of
the Baltimore holders, who are likewise
concerned over the possible action of
the Supreme Court on the recent re-
port of Special Master Charles E. Lit
tlefeid, in which he finds that West
Virginia is liable for the interest on its
proportion of the debt of old Virginia
as of 1861, when the States became
separated.
Some of the interested bankers have
figured from the Llttlefield report that
West Virginia will have to pay Virginia
bondhoIders in principal and interest
$14, 078 121.
No interest rate is given in the re-
port, but the total given s8based on
interest of 81 years at the rate of a
per cent. the old rate % Virginia
bonns. 1t is up to the Supreme Court
to accept, reject or modify the report
and to fix the rate of interest The

The New Town Charter.

The verdict of Charles Towns
citizens as expressed at the Mass
Meeting is morally if not legally
binding on all concerned, and it
is therefore hoped that the new
Charter will speedily be passed
by the Legislature and all era of
local civic improvement inaugu-
rated.
There is every indication that,
with the Spring, times are going
to mend rapidly and every avenue
of industry will be stimulated by
the prospect of unusually high
prices for ill farm products as
we'll as the inevitable demand for
III ,nufactures as result of the
war and the restoration OF buSi-
ness confidence.
Naturally as the town increases
in wealth and population, changes
in its policies of administration
become desirable, il not impera-
tive, and the people having now
spoken, our representatives at
Charleston can be depended on
to see that the will of the COM
munity is speedily enacted into
law.
The old liquor license fights
that used to make every charter
contest nightmare to the Legis-
lature, being now eliminated, il
can be reasonably oped that
Charles Town will be equipped
vito new municipal machinery
within week or two that hel
people will be able to reassert
and prove with fitting civic pride
that they are citizens OF no
mean city

Sept. 18th, 1915.
We left Spokane on the North Coast
Limited about S a. m. and travelled east
ward, passing through several miles of
orchards that have been set out as an
1nducement to attract settlers to this
great state of Washington. We cross
into Idaho during the forenoon and
then into the mountains of Montana
after travelling many miles through the
| beautiful country of the Bitter Root
valley where the yield of fruit and
grain IS marvellous We reach Butte at
T. M. after a steady climb Of several
hours and can see the thousands of
electric lights shining in the darkness
that hides the city. A resident of that
city told us Butte looked much better
at night than in the day time for the
reason that there was very little grass
and few flowers grew in Butte. For
miles we follow the Yellowstone river
and are at Glendive at ten o. clock Sep
TENDER 14th. We find the harvesting
IS much later in Montana and North
Dakota where considerable wheat is still
uncut. We pass through the Bad
Lands of North Dakota and are in the
better country east before night comes
and early Wednesday morning finds us
in the rich wheat fields Of Minnesota
where it would seem there was raised
bread enough for all. Here, too, we
find grain uncut and very small amount
threshed At 7:45 A. NJ we reach
Minneapolis which is not only clean
and beautiful city, but its mammoth
-four mills and immense grain elevators
tell of it's riches and it's Importance In
the middle west. Thursday, the 10th,
we visited the capitol at st. Paul, which
was built at cost of nearly $4,000,000
and is a magnificent structure.
September 18th we leave Minneapolis
and Ghe beautiful clean streets with its
flowers and vines decorating the street
| lighting posts on the main thorough
fares and it's we'll regulated street car
service and feel that it has been an
honor to us to have lived these many
years so near such a great state as
! Minnesota which yields in her golden
harvests annually such a wealth of the
useful in life. AS we cross the river
into Wisconsin we find the frost has
injured the corn badly and the ground
is covered with water in many places
| by recent heavy rainfall and the Wis
! consin river is overlooked for miles and
the railroad bridge at Merrimac is in
danger.
