CARNEGIE ENDOWMENT FOR
INTERNATIONAL PEACE

dersigned have been associated for
ssane years in the execution of trust
- promote international peace and
eur duties have involved continual
survey of the efforts to that end
troughout the world.
We wish to say to all friends OF
peace that the dreadful war now rag
~ affords no just cause for discour-
Agement, no discredit to past efforts,
sd no reason to doubt that still
rreater efforts in the future may be
elective and useful.
The war itself is teaching the Cos
~ of peace through lesson so
ahocking and so terrible that the most
Indifferent can not fail to attend and
understand it.
Not only have, the destruction OF
Ne, the devastation and the suffer-
ng in the warning countries passed
- experience, but the cessation of
production, the closing of markets,
he blocking of trade routes, the in
tsrruption of exchanges, have affected
Industry and caused ruin and poverty
n all the peaceful countries of the
world.
The universal interdependance of
nations has been demonstrated and
TIE truth forced upon every mind that
the peace of all nations is the vital
esncern of every nation.
To cast our weak protest now a
nong the tremendous forces that are
wging on the great conflict would be
futile; but the end of this war will
sMne before long and then the great
4uestion will stand for answer:
Shall the lesson be forgotten; the
sacrifice lost?
That question the belligerent ma
tions only will have the power to ans
wer; but every one in the world will
be entitled to be heard upon it, for it
will be question of civilization, the
nost momentous of our era.
1t seems incredible that after this
ne stricken people will set their feet
n the same old paths of policy and
snspicion which must lead them again
" the same result.
Finding expression through great
nultitude Of voices everywhere the
general public opinion Of mankind
h.hould influence the minds of the ne
xstiators who settle the terms of
peace and inspire them to new de-
parture in the establishment of just
ise as the rule of international rela-
ions.
While we must not be overcon-
hdent of our individual qualifications
y point out the detailed methods
through which the result may be &C
ssmplished, we may still advocate
naeasures which seem practicable and
appropriate to the purpose.
We can see that definite rules OF
national conduct should be agreed
upon; that court of competent juris-
diction should be established to judge
Of national. conformity to those rules;
and that new sanctions should be pro-
vided to compel respect for the judg-
naents rendered.
Above all the motive and spirit OF
the new institutions should be clearly
and fully, not the promotion of ambi-
ton or the extension of power, but the
guarding of human rights ano
the perfection Of individual liberty.
Toward this high end the courage
and hope and conviction of the hum
best citizen of the most distant land
may contribute.

FROM THE BALL
ROOM TO HE'LL"

The above caption is that of a
book which has been put in circula-
ton in Belington during the past few
days by one of the pastors of our
city, with the idea that it would work
some good among the people of our
city. The book was put in circula-
ton with the best intent, buff
we had home and daughter here,
we would NEVER want her to see
it. The work is from the pen of
t. A. Faulkner, an EXCHANGING mas
ter, who claims that the work is a
true story from life--and we do not
doubt it. In fact. after reading the
booklet we were so Disguised with it
that we threw it away. We may all
have bad habits but when it comes
to this so-called society dancing,
please excuse us. There have been
more divorce suits caused from the
dance hall than any other sin under
high Heaven and it is time that the
better element were beginning to re-
aIize il.

WoRKMEN'S BILL READY
Draft of Compensation Measure For
West Virginia Complete

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Feb. 13.--
After numerous hearings and long de-
alterations, bill drafted by the In
surance Committee of the House of
Delegates dealing with the subject of
workmen's compensation has been
submitted to the House, constituting
one of the most important pieces of
legislation to be acted upon by the
Legislature The bill provides for the
elective system Of compensation. En-
ployers may either elect to pay prem
iums to the State and receive the ben
efits of the State compensation fund
or they may directly and individually
compensate their injured employees and
their fatally injured employees de-
pendents under proper restriction inn
posed by the compensation depart
ment.
The bill Classics all the industries
of the State and gives the Commits
sioner of Compensation the power to
reclassify industries according to the
showing made by each class. If a
class shows surplus the rates may
be reduced. If any individual member
of class shows at the end of the
periods of readjustment, which are to
occur semi-annually, that the prem
iums paid by him exceed the disburse-
ments for injury, ETC., such excess
may be applied on his premiums.
OF the premium paid to the fund,
90 per cent is to be paid by the en-
ployer, and 10 per cent by the en-
ploye. A reserve or surplus fund is
to be raised by setting aside 10 per
cent of all premiums until fund of
100000 is raised.
Industries are classified as follows:
Coal mines, ETC., paint manufactures,
iron and steel mills, sheet and tin
plate mills, foundries, etc.; stamped
metal works, etc, saw mills, etc., plan
ing mills, ETC., glass houses of all kind
printing pants O. all kind, wooden
mills, breweries, slaughter and pack
ing houses, steam laundries, steam
railroads, street and interurban rail-
ways, telegraph and telephone plants,
quarries, construction of tunnels, ETC.,
and construction of sewers.
The Commissioner of Compensa-
ton is to receive $4,000 year.

MISS JACKSON SUSPECTED
JUDGE DAYTON.
Thought He Had Something To De
With Her Fathers Removal
From Bench.

PARKERSBURG, Feb. 12.-That
she had long suspicioned that Judge
Dayton had something to do with the
removal of her father, Judge John j.
Jackson, from the federal bench, al
though her father had never told her
so, was testified by Miss Lilly Irene
jackson, only daughter Of the late
judge, before the subcommittee of
congress, which convened here this
afternoon to investigate charges
against Federal Judge A. G. Dayton.
The testimony Of Miss jackson was
easily the sensation of opening day Of
the investigation.
Miss Jackson swore that her father
remarked to her that there was some-
thing underhanded about his being
put off the bench, but he never openly
accused his successor of having had
anything to do with it,
Judge Dayton only spoke once dur
ing the statement and this was to
warmly deny Miss Jackson's volun-
teered remark that he had failed to
offer her his sympathy and coincidence
on the death Of her father.

RESULTS IN CORN
PRODUCTION CONTEST.

Certified reports from 118 members
of the Boys Corn Clubs show an aver
age yield of 68.8 bushels of shelIed
corn, at a cost Of Doc. per bushel.
Twelve boys produced more than 100
bushels and two boys produced 1873
bushels each. The cost per bushel
was greatly reduced as the yields in
creased, the 100 bushel crops costing
24c per bushel and the 1873 bushel
yields being secured at the low cost
of Ice per bushel.
Careful records Of costs and profits
were kept and it was found that the
IL highly yielding acres required about
103 hours work to produce each acre.
The profits average $77.92 This
means an actual return OF about $7.70
for each ten hour day spent in grow
ing the corn crop.
One of the most interesting points
brought out in the 1914 contest was
that in practically every county where
work was conducted in 1913, the win
ners that year took either first or sec
ond prize this year. This is excel
lent testimony of the practical know
ledge Of corn growing that the club
boys obtain in one seasons work.

CREATES SIX DISTRICTS
Governor Hatfield Opposes Redistrict-
ing Bill Sutherland May Run
For Senate.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Feb. 13.-
The redistricting bill passed by the
Senate of West Virginia divides the
State into six districts constituted as
follows:
First Congressional District-Han-
cock, Brooke, Ohio, Marshall, Wetzel,
Marion and Taylor.
Second-Monongalia, Preston, Bar
bour, Randolph, Tucker, Pendleton,
Grant, Hardy, Mineral, Hampshire,
Morgan, Berkeley and Jefferson.
Third Richie, Doddridge, Harri-
son, Calhoun, Gilmer, Lewis, Upshur,
Braxton. Clay, Nicholas and Webster.
Fourth Tyler, Peasants, Wood,
Writ, jackson, Roane, Mason, Putnam
and Cabell.
Fifth-Wayne, Lincoln, Logan, Nc
Dowell, Wyoming, Mercer, Summers,
and Monroe.
Sixth-Kanawha Boone, Raleigh,
Fayette, Greenbrier and Pocahontas.
Governor Hatfield is sad to be luke
warm in his support of this measure
owing to the fact that it would abol-
ish the district at large and make
Congressman-at-Large Howard Suth-
erland possible factor in the race for
United States Senator and very dam
gerous rival in that case to the pres
ent Governor.
Speaker Johnson, of the House, is
opposed to the bill because it weakens
his district-the Secondly taking
Taylor, Republican county, out and
placing it in the First District. The
delegates from the counties in the
Fourth Congressional District-16 in
number-are unit against the bill,
having had a caucus Thursday. Re-
publicans in the First District are also
opposed to it because it transfers
Harrison and Lewis counties to an
other district and reduces the Repub-
lican vote.
1t is doubtful if a majority for the
measure can be mustered in the
House.
