His Purpose to Prepare

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22--Represen-
tatlvc Fitzgerald, Democrat, chairman
of the House appropriations commit
foe announced Wednesday that he fav-
ored an embargo on foodstuffs and that
Il was his purpose to prepare bill
and to press the subject early in the
coming session Of Congress-.
..Two reasons chiefly impeI me TO
favor embargo legislation on food
stufYs, = said Mr.. Fitzgerald 1T is the
most effective weapon In our conI1o-
versy with Great Britain over It's I'M
warranted outrages and indefenstble
black list of American merchants. AS
our foodstuffs are needed abroad an
embargo will be more effective than
weary months OF diplomatic negotia-
lions which end IN the continuance Of
the indefensibIe practices against our
rights.
s.The embargo also should be Inn
posed for purely domestic reasons. Tho
prices OF foodstufIs have reached levels
that arc bringing widespread distress
to the country. Many hundreds OF
thousands of our people are suffering
from the lack OF the necessities of life.
Wholesale prices in many commodities
are less abroad today than they were a
year ago; here the retail prices have
advanced alarmingly.
..The argument that nothing should
be done to interfere with the expansion
Of our foreign trade does not impress
me OF what profit is it if our Foreign
trade is to grow with leaps and bounds,
while our own people are brought to
the yergeof starvation US aresult OF it:
-The time is ripe for the embargo
and hope to see LEGISLATION speedily
enacted to impose 1t. Let America be

GARNETT WRONG
ABOUT BOY
IN JAIL
Declares Mrs. Stout Who Says
That Misleading Impressions
Are Made by Article.
az NIrs. Ross II. Stout.

In order to correct wrong impress
sions caused by an article written by
w. A. Garrett and published in the
CIarksburg Telegram of November
21, wish to give the facts. The boy
mentioned. and at that time in jail,
was not by any means model boy,
but one that needed careful looking
after, This boy was a truant and
there seemed to be no influence that
could keep him In school.
The West Virginia Association of
Charities and Correction through it's
local organization took the matter up
and gave it careful consideration.
They put the boy in the day nursery
at First and Pike streets and then
tried to help the boy. He would not
stay there but ran away several times,
the last time escaping through wtn-
dow. They had done all that could
be done by them, SO the boy fell into
the hands of the law. The truant Of
flcer had to take him in charge and
did the only thing he could do-put
him in jail.
The further treatment Of the boy is
not matter of consideration here ex-
cept to say he was we'll treated in the
jail.
The criticism orrather the insinua-
ton cast upon the West Virginia AS
ISOLATION OF Charities and Correction
is calculated to be misleading, and
does not present the facts. This So
ciety has done all it could do and
was using every effort to find means
Of doing even better work, and was
not spending time idly talking while
needed help was denied in a worthy
cause. 1t did the practical things
first; then sought means Of becoming
more efficient.
