A well-known business man in Law

toner who contracted a debt that ran
along unpaid for year or more, and even
several letters failed 10 bring about a

One day, while glancing over the re-
ligious notices in local paper, the busi-

new idea. He went TO his desk and
wrote the following note to the debtor:

NINE HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLARS SAVED

The most convincing reply to the
anti-prohibitionist's revenue argument
comes from Petrograd. In a state
ment to the finance committee of the
duma Minister Barck pointed out
that while, as was expected, the ma
tional revenue had decreased $4,000

the suppression of the sale of vodka,
the reports of the Russian savings
banks up to July showed increase of
deposits of about the same amount.
He seeks authorization, so the dis
patch says, to issue state securities
amounting to $60O,00O,OO0 beyond the
sum at present allowed. By it's sweep
ing prohibition edict, Russia loses
nothing financially and gains i'm
measurably in the efficiency Of her
citizenship.

BRITISH CABINET CRISIS OVER
CONSUMPTION NEAR
ULSTER LEADER RESIGNS

LONDON, Oct. 18.-Sid Edward
Carson, leader of the Irish Ulstermen
and British attorney general, resign
ed today from the British cabinet.
This indicates split on the question
of conscription. Sir Edward favored
it. The news of his resignation came
upon the heels of whirlwind of
speculation and rumors following up
on his absence at today's cabinet
meeting. 1t was the forth time that
he had failed to appear at the cabinet
session. A full explanation of the
differences between him and the rest
of the cabinet is looked for as in
evitable, moreover there are few op-
timists left in London tonight who
hope any longer that the cabinet
crisis, which has been imminent ever
since the Balkan developments were
added to the question of CONSUMPTION,
as seemingly insurmountable obsta-
Giles to harmony among the ministers,
can be STAYED off many more days.

BELINGTON HIGH DEFEATS
DAVIS-ELKINS RESERVES

On last Monday, Belington high
school played the second game of
football on the home grounds. The
game was with Davis and Elkins
Reserves. The score 40 in favor of
the home team
The D. & E. boys were game and
played hard, but were in no wise
equal to the strong Belington team.
This was partly due to the fact that
the Reserves are held as "subs" for
the varsity and have very little coach
ing as regular team. The two teams
are to play again later in the season
at Elkins, probably as preliminary
game to Wesleyan-D & E. game on
Nov. goth.

WILSON SCORED BY ~~S"- ~
! AVIS ~ -, CATHOLIC PAPER
Recognition Of Carranxa Insult to
Catholics, Church Paper Declares

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 17.---An edi-
torial which savagely attacks Presi-
dent Wilson for his policy with regard
to Carranza appears in today's issue
of the Morning Star, "the official
Catholic journal of the diocese Of New
Orleans and the diocese of Savan-
nah." The Star is regarded, as well,
as the official mouthpiece Of Catholic
clergy throughout the South. \ i
The editorial reads in part:
"Venustiano Carranza, the bandit.
the cut-throat, the outlaw, the avow-
ed prosecutor of the Catholic Church,
the robber, and despoiler Of her sane
tuaries, schools, converts, and hospi
tails, the murderer of priests, the
leader of vandal hordes, whose name-
less outrages and indignities to pure,
consecrated nuns and defenseless wo-
men and children, show the victious
darkness of his soul; Vanustiano Car
rama, whose name must ever stand
for all that is blacklist and vilest and
most degrading in the pages Of Next
can history, has been recognized by
the President of the United States
as ruler Of the distracted Mexican re-
public.
"Mr. Wilson's recognition of Car
rama, the avowed enemy Of the Cath
olic Church, is an insult to the Catho-
lies of this country. 1t is direct
challenge to them, and we hope that
not only Catholics, but every true
lover Of religious freedom, for which
the glorious flag of our country
stands( will give him such an open
answer at the polls as will prove to
him that no President of the United
States can so fagrantly ignore the
lawful and respectful request of 49,
100000 fellow citizens without paying
the penalty.
"This the only way open to Catho-
lies in which they can take up.the
gauntlet thrown down by the Presi-
dent of the United States. 1t is the
only way in which all true lovers Of
religious freedom, irrespective of
creed, can show to the administration
at Washington how they revere and
are determined to uphold this funda-
mental principle of the American Con-
stitution."

GREAT CONVENTION URGES
STRICT ENFORCEMENT
OF STATES DRY LAW.

A great convention, whose attend
ance at times passed the 1000 mark
with practically every county in the
state represented, has just closed in
Wheeling. 1t UNANIMOUSLY approved
of prohibition and went. on record for
strict enforcement of the prohibition
law by officials. Speakers at this
great gathering included Governor
Henry D. Hatfield, prominent state
and county officials and many promi-
nent prohibition advocates from other
states. There was not dissenting
note to the entire convention and a
great street demonstration participat-
ed in by hundreds of marchers was an
interesting spectacle.
This convention opened on Tuesday
evening at the Market Auditorium
with 1000 people present. Prof.E.O.
Excel of Chicago, was in charge of
the music, which was one Of the great
features throughout the convention.
Rev. S. X, Arbuthnott presided.
Vets Have Parade. W
Wednesday night there was a street
demonstration in Wheeling against
law enforcement. 1t was principally
notable for the few West Virginians
in line and the fact that the affair
was financed by liquor interests in
Ohio. Sammy Ungerleider, of the
Acorn Liquor Co., Bridgeport, Ohio,
was one of the officials in the parade
and majority of the marchers in
the affair came from Ohio. Autos and
wagons were decorated in Martins
Ferry, Bridgeport and Bellaire, Ohio
and sent to the West Virginia side
of the river. Half of the vehicles
alone came from Bellaire.
The affair hardly deserved the name
of demonstration. It's chief mar
shall was H C. Whitaker, president
of the Wheeling base ball club, while
headquarters were to be found by call
ing "755 either phone," that proved to
be the Office of Bernie Handlan.
The anarchists" as they were oft
en- referred to were very particular in
giving thir men instructions to keep
order. The "drys" needed no such in
structions--they were orderly men.

COAL MINES RE-
sumo OPERATION
Business Outlook Better Than For
Many Years.

The coal mines along the Tygarts
Valley are beginning to show signs
of great improvement. Plenty of
work in sight and the miners who
have been on the "watchful waiting"
list are now selecting their places.
The railroad Companies are repairing
cars but this has been put off so
long that car shortage will be the
next and greater thing to hinder.
The Davis Colliery Co., have start
ed to open up the Junior mines which
have been closed for some months.
The cost of starting these mines
alone cost nearly $4,000, so it is es-
timated that they will run for several
months. This means good business
for this section.
Preparations are under way at the
Meriden mines for large tonnage.
Century, Lillian, Arden and Gage
are working daily.
Dartmoor and Weaver are working
better than for many months and
within few weeks will be working
full.
Other small mics are running right
up to their capacity and by December
LIST all the mines and ovens in this
territory will be under full blast.
The business men are more than
pleased to see the mines open up
again for it means much to them as
they have been carrying number Of
their customers for several months
The outlook for all kinds of bust
ness is brighter than for some years
past.
The weak and "get-rich-quick
schemers" have fallen by the way
side and only the substantial and
business-like concerns remain to rear
the reward they so greatly deserve.

Wesleyan can do to the Red Black re-

to beat w. & j., this sthe year for
her to do it. w. & J. is strong, of
course, but not as strong as usual,
and, too, if Wesleyan expects to be in
the running with West Virginia for
the honors Of Thanksgiving day it is
necessary that she make strong
showing against Washington & jeff
erson.
Clarksburg is more centrally located
than any other West Virginia city
and always the games there have
drawn big crowds. w. & J. in 1913
drew the biggest crowd that has ever
