LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR

FAIRMONT, Feb. 21.-(To the Editor
The West Virginian)-I would like TO
say q few words in regard to the new
road work in the Third ward, better
known as Pike street in Jamestown.
/ can tell by the ring of your paper
that you are down on Knockers, but
pardon me, for really do not want to
knock. I have Just been knocked down
and out and thrown over the run bank.
and want TO get back in the road
again IL there is room enough in Mar
ion county. have often heard OF
people getting caught between the deyf
N and the deep sea and they say that
it makes them sit up and take notice;
but Just let them get caught like !
did on the Pike street road between
special privilege and the run bank and
have the weather man frowning down
on them and they will have something
to sit up and take notice about that Will
try their nerve; for you just have to
throw off your coat and so to work on
your own hook to save what little
highway grab" has left YOU.
Now, l like improvements and am
willing to do my part when get q
square deal but that is what did
not get in the new road grab
This shows for itself, for when
it comes to them" taking your own
ground and cutting it up and shove
you out in the road Just to make room
for playhouse or merry.go-round. 1t

to set the curb, SO had to make

ced to make drain for the traction
company. People say it is spite work,
but don's see what the traction COM
pany could have against me.
we are told that the officials OF the
B. & O.railroad spend thousands Of dol.
lars every year taking the short curves
out of their track to save distance,
save the wear and tear OF the track
and rolling stock. And why the trac-
tion company will spend SO much time
and money on q permanent job like
this to make their curves more crooked
is O question can't answer. Now the
road from the bridge to Bellview ave-
nue. Is a good grade and good piece
OF work, but special privilege or tg-
norance has defaced 1.-THE paved
road and the traction line don't fit to-
gether. People say why didn't the trac:
ton company put their tracks in the
center Of the road. They are there in
some places, and it looks like 1t had
drifted there In high water and lodged.
But belongs to the permanent work,
SO there is no use putting all the blame
on the engineer, for he never came
out to work without his advance guard,
and you could see the lieutenant run
ming along in front of him with his hip
pocket full OF blue prints pointing out
and down to the ground and saying:
there he goes and here he goes, which

Armed Merchant vesseIa

1.-THE United States Government, 1t
is reported now, will concede that mer-
chant vessels may be a little armed,
opinion being that q two-inch gun
mounted for defensive purposes need
not offer provocation for an attack
without warning by a submarine.
I'm these days when piracy is as
out Of date as chain shot 1t. would
seem that the best defensive arma-
ment as peaceable vessel could have
would be the unequivocal character
of its peaceableness. What can pro-
.tect merchantmen more effectively
than the absolute certainty that 1t
will not commit belIigerent act does
not appear. N
''Merchant vessels are granted GER
tain immunity because they are not
belligerent. Il it is to be a ques-
ton Of doubt in each case when one
is hailed by commerce destroyer
and II the destroyer be SO frail a
thing as the submarine and II the
peaceable ship carry a gun which can
sink its attacker there need be no
astonishment II the submarine com.
mander acts In the direction of the
safety of his own craft.
"The interest Of the United States
undoubtedly is to give as much play
to the power Of the submarine as Is
consistent with humanity. 1t is a ma:
r1ne weapon quickly built and highly
effective withInit obvious limitations.
1t is the sort Of a weapon that a ma
ton which persists in keeping its de-
Tense in an inadequate form may
need. ~ Chicago Tribune. n

mother contributed few dollars a
month to the household from doing
some sewing, but, John was worried,
for 1t looked vague and dard ahead.
Then came a new surprise, and
complication, and burden. The broth
er Of Mary was crippled In an acct
dent at the mills where he had work
ed. The doctor said he would be an
invalid about q year. Harry Estes
could get around well enough, but he
could not do the hard work his former
position had required. Ell.
Harry was cutting away a dangling
piece Of a shoe sole when old Mrs.
Rice noticed the fact.
"Why, Harry, your shoes are pretty
well gone up. aren't they?" she re-
marked.
"That for some time" Harry tried
to say lightly.
II was thinking" proceeded Mrs.
Rice refecttvely. Il have some
clothes and such up in the old trunk
of my dead husband. Yes, and I am
certain there Is a pair of shoes he
wore. They are not new, but certain
ly better than those you are wearing.
II they At you, they might do Walt
I'll go and look them up"
Mrs. Rice proceeded to the attic.
She returned shortly with the pair
of shoes she had described and hand
ed them to Harry.
"why, they at Just famously," he
declared, as he tried one on. They
would do me for six months II they

old shoemaker on Central street car
ry In some leather supplies o few
days since. He told me that made me
a free customer in the way ofsrepairs

now"
The shoemaker was true to his
promise. Harry sat In his stocking
feet as the artisan began work on the
shoes. "
The worker had found the sole OF
the shoe quite regular and ordinary.
When he came 70 the other, however,
1t held fast and firm and he had to
dig hard to loosen two thin plates of
steel. He drew them out. Between
them lay little package, done up In
oilskin.

this sole for a pocketbook," observed
the cobbler, as he handed the ollskin
packet to Harry.
