West Virginia's Bad Habits

wv EST VIRGINIA is afflicted with an in
w durable desire 10 avoid paying her just
debts After eXhausting the machinery of
law to avoid payment, and failing. she is now
ondeavoring to hoist the debt onto the broad
shoulders of Uncle Sam.
According to up-to-date West Virginia in
depreciation of the origin of that Common
wealth, the Federal government the sole
agent. Apparently the unwilling West Vir-
ginians were coerced into seeding from the
mother State by A. Lincoln. Since the
West Nirginians did not wish to leave Vir-
ginia, but were forced to go by the wicked
Union government, the United States is solely
responsible for the creation of West Vir-
ginia, and should pay all her debts The
little fact of West Nirginias assuming the
debt in her first Constitution was a mistake,
or perhaps the tyrannical Federal govern
ment forced the poor unwilling West Vir-
ginians TO do this.
1t is time for West Virginia to quit squeal-
ing, give up lodging and pay her debts An
honest man is always willing to settle his
liabilities, and State should be as honest
as an individual And what is $13,000,0O0
to community like West Virginia? That
State delights in advertising her wealth be-
fore an admiring nation; it would be good
idea TO use trine Of that wealth TO settle
the claim. The whole world is weary of the
West Virginia debt Sob and nobody in the
world outside OF West Virginia thinks that
that State has been wronged by being pre-
scented with bill for her little debts.

The ancient town of Tappahannock
is fixing for an old-fa shioned Fourth of

Tidewater Democrat the latchstrinp is
going to be hanging on the outside of

Underwater Democrat couched it's edi-

columns of singing, biting, forensic
oratory it proceeded to tell the whole

1t had neither cause nor object, this

Waste in War Preparation

wv HAT the United States needs is not
w more money for war preparation. but
more business management for the money al
ready provided We spend money literally
for our army and navy and get almost moth
ing for it. In order to maintain army of
the European size and efficiency, we should
have to spend billions of dollars yearly
Europe understands the art Of cconomizing in
military expenditures in everything else.
1t has cost the United States $1,000,OOO,-
600 i'll ten years to support an army of less
than 10000 men. We spend $4,000, 900 "A
year on our militia and have little to show
for it. Our total expenditure for war last
year in the midst of profound peace was near
ly 100000 900. Before the beginning of
the war Germany spending S414.00O 900;
England $4,000 900; Russia, 100000
600. In other words, we spent much more
than any other power in the world, and at
the same time had pygmy army and rela-
lively inferior fleet.
y very large part of our military bill is
included in useless pensions. England with
all her roll of wars pays only $4,000, 600
a year; we pay out Sl60.000,000 in pensions
for a war over more than fifty years ago.
War preparation is undoubtedly necessary,
but a radical revision of the expenditures of
the Federal government is needed first. Be

Knnsnx City's Jitney Fever.
Newark News.


Kansas City was one of the first Of
the larger cities Of the United States
to contract the iitnev fever in virulent
form. and is now suffering from the
reaction. One OF the largest iitney
companies has gone into bankruptcy
and most of the others have raised
their price to 10 cents. It is admitted
by the iitney men they cannot pay eX-
penses. provide for depreciation and
renewal and make profit at scent
fare. This instance will be cited as
confirmation of the claim made by
trolley officials that the iitney is an
ephemeral phenomenon which will di.-
appear as speedily as it came into ex-
istence; that there are certain mex
orable laws governing the matter of
transportation that make the success
Of the jitney as n competitor of tho

he that the real field OF usefulness of
the jitney, IL 1t has such a field. has
not yet been determined and that II

determine just what niche it shall oc-

be that 1t will have its greatest success
where 1t is made complimentary to the
trolley rather than in rivalry thereto.
