THE cause OF woman suffrage won a
great victory in West Virginia on Tues
day, when both houses OF the Legislature
voted TO submit TO the people at the next
general election an amendment 10 the
constitution providing for the franchise
for women. In the Senate there was bu'
one vote against the measure, that Of
Senator Steed. In the House the reSo-
luton was adopted by vote OF so to g.
the opponents being Delegates Board
Cuney, Hartman, OF Mcdowell; Kittle, OF
Barbour; Monroe, OF Hampshire and
DAWSON and Reinhart, of Harrison. The
measure will be approved by Governor
Hatfield, who has been outSpoken in its
favor. Women from various sections OF
the State crowded the galleries and ap-
plauded the passage of the resolution.
The fight having been won in the Leg
iSlature, the suffragstS will at once begin
a campaign TO have the amendment adopt
ed by the voters. We hope that they
may win this fight also, and that every
woman who desires the opportunity OF
expressing her sentiments at the polls
may have that privilege.

In statement issued few days ago
in relation to the scandal connected with
the arrest of Leo We'll, attorney for the
Manufacturers Heat and Light Company
Governor Hatfield declared that ever
since he had as Governor tried to curb
the corporations in West Virginia he has
been bounded by these big moneyed in
tereStS, which have for so long been ac-
customed to have their own way. Some
how, we cannot but believe that the Gov
ernor is right Ii is notorious fact that
our State has been dominated by the
great corporations to d considerable de-
gree, and it is only since the creation OF
the Public Service Commission that there
has been any adequate method OF curling
them. We do not believe that they
would for one moment hesitate to ruin
anyone who opposes them, and we have
no doubt that they are alter the Governor
with every resource within their power.
Every member of the Public Service
Commission has united in signed state
ment that the Governor has not at any
time discussed the merits of cases pend
ing before them. This diSposes OF the
chief charge brought against Governor
Hatfield by Mr.. We'll, now under indict-
ment for bribery.

In statement prepared by Tax Com
missioner Fred o. Blue, it is shown that
tax OF three mills on each ton of coal,
one and a-half mills on each 1000 cubic
feet OF gas and three cents on each barrel
of oil produced in West Virginia would
bring in revenue Of 1865, 0OO-iust about
as much additional revenue as the State
needs.
To a layman this seems simple and
natural method OF providing the necessary
funds to meet the increased expenses Of
our State government, and in our opinion
the Legislature should not hesitate TO levy
such a tax. OF course these interests
will fight it TO the bitter end, as they al
ways do any attempt to make them pay
their proportion OF taxeS-but what form
OF property is better able TO stand it than
that of the producers OF coal and oil and
gas who have for so long been enriching
themselves by drawing West Virginia's
treasures from her hills and valleys ?

Serious Error in Shepherdstown.
Sbepherdstown Citizens Will Do Well

Many fatal cases of kidney disease have

Even today in Shepherdstown there are

aches and pains to overwork, or worry,
perhaps, when all the time their rheuma-

The Debt Question Again.

Another chapter in the famous State
debt controversy between Virginia and
West Virginia was made public last Fri
day, when former Congressman Charles
E. Littlefield, special master in the case,
submitted his findings to the Supreme
Court of the United States, in which he
holds that West Virginia should be held
liable for interest on her share OF the old
Virginia debt from January |, 1861. West
Virginia had declined to pay this interest.
Mr.. Littlefield did not compute the
amount of the interest, on the ground
that the court did not give him that au-
thority. If his finding should stand, II
would mean that West Virginia must pay
Sc, 623 O16 in interest charges on her share
of the debt, making her total obligations
TO the holders of the old Virginia bonds
Sl4.O7S. l21. This would all 60 to spec
ulators in the certificates, as the old Viz
ginia bonds are held by them. The State
OF Virginia would not get cent OF it.
The findings are not a sweeping victory
for Virginia. When the Supreme Court
first passed upon the case il fixed West
Virginia's share of the old debt at ST.
S65,Sl2. Master Littlefield, in his report
reduces this amount to $4,455, l05. In
doing this, he held that West Virginia
was entitled to certain part OF Virginia's
assets at the time OF the separation.
These assets, he found, amounted to
Ash ,945.74, West Virginia's share
being q l-2 per cent, or $,4lO, 3OO.25.
This section OF the report is against Viz
ginia, as that State commended that West
Virginia should assume 81, 500, 900 OF the
original debt and pay interest thereon to
the holders OF the old bonds. According
to Mr.. Littleiield's findings. West Viz
ginia will have to pay interest for "a
years on 81, 455, los, IFS share on the or
iginal debt. Mr.. Littlefield did not fix
the rate OF interest, but the old Virginia
bonds bore per cent rate, and it is
supposed that the rate would be 4per cent.
The findings OF Mr.. Littlefield are en-
tirely unsatisfactory to West Virginia, and
our representatives will resist to the ut
termOSt.

ANUMBER OF bills have been introduced
inthe Legislature looking towards changes
in our road laws. We do not know just
what they propose 10 do, but we venture
TO express the opinion that it will be the
part OF wisdom 10 scrutinize them very
carefully before enacting them into laws.
AS there are no State roads in West Viz
ginia, we see no reason why the State
should attempt TO egislate so continuous
ly for the counties, for usually more harm
is done than good. The chief effect that
we have observed during recent years as
result Of State legislation has been fore
ing the counties TO employ county en-
gineerS whether needed or not, and the
useless expenditure oflarge sums ofmoney
10 pay them and meet the bills which they
incur.

The liquor dealers are terribly upset
over the decision of the United States
Circuit Court OF appeals, which prohibits
the shipment OF liquor into West Virginia
and also prohibits the solicitation through
the mails OF orders for liquors to be sent
into the State. Judge Rose, OF Baltimore,
who had rendered a decision allowing
these shipments, has reversed his ruling
so as TO make if conform to the decision
OF the higher court, and has allowed the
liquor people an appeal TO the United
States Supreme Court. The liquor man
ufacturers declare that they will carry the
case TO the court OF last resort, but there
is belief on the part Of some persons thai
they may be bit cautious about this, foI
fear that the last props may be knocked
from under them.

The completion OF a long-distance
telephone line between New York and
San Francisco was celebrated on Monday.
President Wilson, Alexander Graham
Bell, Theodore Vail, president OF the
American Telephone and Telegraph COM
pany, and other distinguished persons
used the line. Conversations were easily
carried on between New York and San
Francisco, distance OF 3,4O0 miles, and
then a circuit OF 4,400 miles was made
between JekylI Island, off the coast OF
Georgia, up the Atlantic seacoast to New
York and thence to San Francisco, the
voices being distinctly heard and every
word plainly understood, AT the San
Franciso end of the wire on Monday was
Thomas A. Watson and at the New York
end was Mr.. Bell, who were at opposite
ends OF the two mile line when the tele-
phone was first made practicable in 1875,
forty years ago. The rate from New
York to San Francisco is $6.75 minute.

THE country is moving right along to-
ward ultimate radiance OF Inc curse OF
open saloons. The Idaho Legislature
last Thursday passed bill providing for
the submission TO the voters next year OF
a constitutional amendment prohibiting
the manufacture and sale of Intoxicating
liquors in the State, and Idaho is pretty
sure TO 90 dry. Alabama has done still
better and has provided for prohibition
the lst OF July. The Legislature passed
an act that after the lst OF July liquor
should not be sold in that State. The
Governor vetoed the measure and asked
that the prohibition question be submitted
to voters at special election, but both
houses voted down his proposal and re-
passed the bills by overwhelming major
tiles. The vote in the House onrepassage
was IS to %, and in the Senate "a to 10.

The joint committee OF the Senate and
House on temperance have practically
agreed on amendments TO the prohibition
law, and the bill passed the Senate with
but three dissenting votes. The proposed
additions to the law are extremely Strin-
gent, and if they shall De adopted, which
seems most likely, they will make West
Virginia very dry indeed. The law will
be greatly strengthened, il is believed, as
the sentiment in the Legislature is strong
in favor OF eliminating liquor.

West Virginia Legislature.

Both houses of the Legislature have
passed a bill providing for a change in
the time of holding court in the circult
composed OF the counties OF Jefferson,
Berkeley and Morgan. The bill, which
becomes operative at once, provides Tor
three terms in each county each year
the first Tuesday in January, April and
September in Morgan county the third
Tuesday in January, April and September
in Berkeley county; and the third Tues
day in February, May and October in
Jefferson county. The passage OF such
bill was deemed expedient in order TO
give Morgan county two weeks at each
term, instead OF only one week, as has
been the case heretofore. The bill was
pushed by Speaker Vernon E. Johnson,
OF Morgan county.
This bill was the first to become a law
at this session, Governor Hatfield having
signed it on Tuesday fourteen minutes
after il left the House.
