Basketball players Of Covinston

Bogalusa last Friday night and were
not to be denied, taking the contest
by the score Of As to %. Never In
immediate danger, st. Tammany was
OF to. good lead and was never

lies on the part Of Bogalusa. St.
Tammany never was In danger and
even the spurts which Bogalusa made
were not effective enough to warrant
uneasiness on the part OF Iovington.
BY defeating Bogalusa, Covington
added another victim to its already
long list and from the looks of things
the state title bids fair to fall to the
expectant mands Of the Covington
high school. Eight times Covington
has gone to the post, and a. often

MANY POINTS
That Naturally Appeals to West
VirqinianS in the Candidacy
of Coleman du Pont.

The life and aims of Coleman du
Pont, candidate for the Republican
nomination for president of the
United States, have many points
that command themselves to West
Firginians. The mere fact that he
started life az a pick and shovel
worker in the coal mines OF Ken
lucky and, through his own efforts,
worked his way up to one Of great
prominence in the business world,
naturally appeals to West Virginians
because they know best the difficult
ties that he must have overcome.
His business care was marked by
success in everything he undertook.
When he disposed of his interests in
the big powder works that bear his
name, he bought a majority Of the
stock of the Equitable Life Assur-
ance Society, and is now most active
in directing the business CT that
great institution. He withdrew
from the powder business because he
did not want to profit by the selling
of munitions to war-ridden Europe
but desire to be working kept him
from retiring from active life. His
knowledge Of business methods and
his ability to grasp big problems
make him an ideal candidate from
the standpoint of having a business
man for president. West Virglnians
interests are business interests and
they should be administered by busI.
ness men.
Good road is another crying need
of this state and that again turns at,
tention to du Pont. He stands to-
day the most prominent figure in
the good roads movement of the coun.
try. He has consistently advocated
good roads as the first step in re.
ducing the high cost Of living by
doing away with the tremendous
high cost Of delivering produce to
market. Du Pont, as president would
undoubtedly see that the federal
government took an active part In
the building Of good roads.
Put a business man like Coleman
du Pont In the White House and
nearly every big problem that con.
fronts the country would soon be
found to be nothing more than a
business proposition to be handled
in the big, broad-minded way that
has made du Pont such great bust
ness success. The economies that
would come to the country through
the application of business methods
would mean great savings in the cost
of running the government.

CASES DECIDED
BY THE STATE
SUPREME COURT
High Tribunal Rules on a Con-
tempt Case from Fay
cite County.

CHARLESTON. May lin re.
versing judgment of the Greenbrier
circuit court and entering judgmen,
here in the case of Christian against
the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway
Company the Supreme Court of APP
peals found that in order to charge
q railway company with damages for
killing stock straying upon the
tracks, negligence on the part Of the
company must appear and the bur-
den Of showing 1t rests upon the
plaintiff. The killing Of stock by a
train under circumstance which show
that such killing was an unavoidable
accident, does not make the railway
company liable for damages.
Another finding of the court, in
reversing the circuit court Of Fayette
county as to defendants Jasper and
Cannaday, and affirming 1t as to de-
PENDANT osenton, is of unusual in
terest. It says that the courts of

Mr.. Hite and Labor.

In the final summing up, the labor
Ing men OF West Virginia should well
remember. and always bear in mind,
that William F, Hlte, of Cabell county,
Republican candidate for the United
States Senate, has long been an en-
ployer Of labor. This labor has always
been union labor. And in all his his
tory as an employer he has never had
the slightest trouble with his en-
ployes. They all, to a man, respect
him, and are glad OF the opportunity
to give him their votes for senatorial
preference. The manner in which Mr..
Hite has treated his employees he will
treat the employees of others-will
treat every man who has to earn his
living by the sweat OF his brow.
Mr.. Hite has been laborIng man
himself, and he never became out OF
tune with tho working man. His sym
pathies are with the laborer. You could
not find man in the whole length and
breadth Of West Virginia thnt has
been. or will be, fairer to the laboring
element,

No Encouragement for Con,.aI,

In reading various consular reports
which come from South and Central
American countries we are struck by
the recurrence Of such statements as
there; THE fact that the principal
consumers of coal are British com
panies makes American competition
more difficult" I'm railway mater
ials the United States leads Great
britain by small margin, which
would be greater were II not for the
TACT that so many railways are Brit
ish owned. THAT German machtn-
cry so largely used is, OF course,
due TO the fact that 1t is German cap
ital which is invested"
The department OF commerce Is
making great hubbub about increas-
ing our foreign trade, particularly In
the Latin American republics. We
were informed some time ago that
certain officials OF that department
were trying to encourage the invest
mont of American capital in those
countries TO the end that their use
OF American products would augment
our export trade. But their efforts,
so far as can be aacertained, have
met with little result. That may be
accounted for by two facts: First. our
manufactures are humping them
selves making goods for Europo's
warriors, and meeting the increased
demand ut home which the war Or
der prosperity has brought us. Sec
ond. and more important, the attitude
Of President Wilson toward Ameri-
cans who are in business south OF the
Rio Grande has been such that the
gamest business man in the land
would not feel justified in rislsing an
investment in countries where a sin
gle spark would cause revolutions
airy conflagration which would de-
stroy his business; and where the
contempt for Americans has become
so great, due to this angle-worm adj
that the life of himself
and the honor OF his wife could, in
time of instruction, be taken with
impunlty.
1t has ben a stock~argument among
many who have lost their bump of
adventure, that II man wants to go
into foreign country to engage in
business, very well, but he may not
look to his government for protection
n he is robbed and mutilated. China
adheres to that policy. The American
business man is going to stick around
home as long as Woodrow Wilson
is in control of the government. There
will be no pioneering. The pfopa-
ganda of the department of commerce
will be unavailing because 1t is work
