A Blunder
Signalized the legislative Career
of the Present Administration

The Democratic tariff bill, first in the
articles OF Democratic faith, and the one
achievement on which naturally they
would be expected to spend their most
exhaustive study and care, was 20 clum-
silly executed that il failed to accomplish
the results intended. The failure was due
10 crude, hzsty. unscientiffic, secret leg
gislstive methods.
Designed to furnish sufficient revenue
n finance the United States treasury, il
has proven absolutely inadequate for that
purpose.
In writing the tariff bill the Democrats
dimIy foresaw a possible reduction in
custom receipts, although they did not
know how much and did not ascertain
the facts. so the income tar provision
was Incorporated, in the hope that il
would make mp for any miscslculations
in the tariff bill, although the Democrats
did not know and did not ascertain the
facts.
But what happened when tbese pro
visions went into effect?
Customs receipts were millions Of dol
lars below the amount needed from tina,
source, and at the same time collections
from the income tar fell many millions
below the amount needed from ths,
source. The inevitable resut was 10 leave
the treasury without sufficient money for
IL needs.
The failure was caused by csrelessness

LIFT WEST
VIRGINIA.
Out of the Mud---May
20-21 Good Roads
Days---Every Citizen
Urged to Come Out

On the twenty third OF April,
Governor Hatfield issued his proclaim alton
for the Observance OF Good Roads Day.
throughout West Virginia on May 20 and
II. This action eimplv carries out the
plans Of the governor enacted last yesr
when he conceived OF the idea Of using
this method of road agitation. On thesf
days everyone will be able to scquain,
himself with local needs and conditions
and in this manner have brought home
TO him the importance OF highway i'm
provement-
As Was the case last year. Chief Road
Engineer, A. ID. Williams, and the Stan
Roard Bureau will have general super
vision OF the work all over West Virgins
and with that end in view the Burear
is perfecting, as rapidly as possible, ar
organization in every county of the state.
Tne first move was 20 communicate with
the county courts and have them ap
point men in the various districts who
will have charge of the work in each To-
cslity and in this way it is noped that oil
efforts will he exercised in the proper d.
rection and no work lost, owing to lack
Of efficiency.
The Bureau is getting in touch with the
various frsternsl organizations and urg-
ing them to arouse their members r.
turn out on this occasion and il only q
small percentage of these men respond TO
the call OF the governor wonderful results
will be accomplished.
Also the observance of these two Good
Roads Days is TO be taken up with the
board of trade of every town and city 90
that they may cooperate with the coun-
ty court OF their county and see that the
movement is thoroughly advertised and
that no means are spared to make it o.
success in every particular.
Every citizen OF the state should con-
sider il a personal duty TO see that these
two days count. A great deal was done
last year but this year we can and will
do more The value of the work is not
to be measured by the number OF miles
OF highway constructed or improved but
by the more lasting agitation that is crea-
ted in favor OF better roads,

Neutrality Law Violations

a CCORDING to the Department Of Justice,
a its crusade against the campaigns of en-
lstment for the British and Montenegrin
armies going on in this country is not
directed against volunteers, returning to
their countries to fight, but against organized
efforts to induce such return. The difference
is clear
The protest of the British ambassador, Sir
Cecil Spring Rice, is beside the point The
ambassador has asked the State Department
what distinction, if any, it draws between
the questions Of neutrality involved in the
return Of reservists of those European coun-
tries which have reserve systems and the de-
parture OF volunteers to those countries which
have no such system" The departments
answer to this query probably will be that
it makes no distinction whatever.
The United States is under no obligation,
moral or legal to accelerate the return of
subjects of foreign nations now at war to
their own countries Whether the subject Je
an army rcServist or not makes no difference.
Any of these persons who want to go back
and fight are at liberty to do so. so far as
the United States is concerned, and, on the
other hand, any who find themselves moro
comfortable on this side of the Atlantic are
equally at liberty TO stay where they are
What the neutrality laws forbid is the use
OF the territory of the United States for the
organization and dispatch of military expedi-
lions against a nation with which the United
states is at peace. Whether membership in
the expedition is made up Of reservists or
volunteers does not make the least difference
In our view, this law has been stretched
rather considerably in some in per-
hitting French, German, Italian and Aus
TRAN consuls to appeal to rcservsts, register
them and furnish them with transportation
back home. That Is no reason, however
why the law should be stretched further and
a British propa ganda to obtain volunteer en-
AC thn hon
Justice puts it, the purpose is to stop Organ
lied efforts to raise bodies Of soldiers for
foreign service.
An additional reason for this legal ac-
tvity is the circumstance that some of the
enlistments, so it is alleged, have been Of
American citizens Under existing condi-
tons, the place OF an American citizen capa-
bic of rendering military service is In his
own country, and he should neither be en-
couraged nor SO far the government can
prevent permitted to accept service under a
foreign flag.
