Mr.. Hill, the big railroad man, says

Whether It will be fighting on the
field or the desire for peace at home
that's TO end the struggle, is an inter.

say that here is possibly the erux Of
the whole situation.
Then we glide over TO Constantine

TO France. and then TO England, and
We find growing sentiment in be-

this thing of being merely fodder for
the cannon.
It's a senseless war; never was any
excuse for II. The crowned heads
and the diplomats lost their heads
before a single gun had been fred.
National patriotism, of course, came

Great Expenditure of Ammunition

so enormous, in fact, that the entire

THE COAL BUSINESS.
(McDowell Recorder.)

tMcDOWeil heCOFucf.J
"The coal business of this great field
is reported better than it has been for
many moons. Europe has to have coal
and this Pocahontas coal is recognized
as the best bituminous coal field in the
world. If it will only continue for,
while both miners and operators will
soon get back on their feet and every
sane man will earnestly hope it may
do So"
Glad to hear it, and to hear you say
so. A Republican came up from the
Welch section one day last week, and
reported that business was absolutely
dead in that country. Perhaps the
wish was father to the thought. There
are some Rcpublicans-pretty good
citizens, too, who are delighted to hear
of "stagnation in business" and quake
with apprehensivc alarm when they
read or hear of the prosperous con-
dition of the country. Pic-eatcrs of
both parties pay special attention to
the business thermometer, and pray
for it's rise or fall us the cas-. may be.
and their hopes rise or fall with it.

CHEAPER AUTOMOBILES.

A number of dealers are putting out
cheaper cars-cutting prices, and 9TH
er dealers still promise to do so in
the near future. The cars have ap-
pcared entirely too high in price. 1t
is difficult to see where the cost of
manufacture justiiies so high Il price.
There should be IL large profit to the
manufacturers at present prices, but
the selling expenses are considerable.
1t is the middleman again, whom
the customer has to pay. When the
cost of a car is reduced, will the
value of the car be reduced accord
lngly? Will the manufacturer tell the
purchaser when II car is sold, that il
is as good or is not as good Il car ms
was sold ut the former price, as the
case may be?
The auto is no longer luxury sim
ply. 1t is rapidly becoming Il neces-
sity, and high in price as they may be,
1T would be Il misfortune to Hood the
country with cheap, worthless cars
y car built m all particulars so as Ia
be sold cheap, will probably prove To
be costly ear in the end. Reduce the
price If possible, but keep up the quail
ity.
