Mr.. Root Not for 1vnr

Those Democrats who are seeking
to have it appear that Mr.. Root, in
his ringing excoriation OF the hating
and stumbling diplomacy Of the adj
ministration, raised the alternatives
OF the employment OF force and that
he stands for war with Germany, are
drawing the long bow with their ac-
customed Indifference to fact. Moth
ing in the address of the eminent Re
publican carries a shadow OF infer
ence IN favor of war-but everything
points to his contempt of diplomacy
of inertness and inefficiency. He
knows and the country knows, that
following the first stage of the issue
with Germany. there never was a
time, when Germany could have been
dragged into war with the United
States, says the Baltimore American.
The Democrats would have Mr..
Root appear as either knaye or a
fool when they say he advocates war
with Germany or blames the admin
istration for not plunging the nation
into congestion. Peace with credit Is
one thing; peace with discredit is
another. If the longbowmen of the
Democratic party will only gather
their wits to perceive this distinction,
they will have the key to that finely
analytical address.

President Wilson sent special
message to Congress advocating an
appropriation OF $41.03O indemnity
to Greece, Austrla-Hupgnry and Tur-
key on account of injuries done to
subjects OF these countries, re-
spectivcly, by mob violence in riots

The special message is sent to Con-
gress by the president during the

Cutie Fish as National Emblem.
Senator Fall has accused the nd

It Is unkind but 1t Is apt, says the
Chicago Tribune.

People Want n Business Man

People Want n Business Man.
It Is but significant Of the trend
OF the times that the masses of the
Republican voters OF West Virginia
should have taken so kindly to the
candidacy Of ". F. Hlte for United
States senator. Mr.. Hite. after being
prevailed upon by his friends to be-
come candidate, issued a frank
statement to the voters, in which he
assured them that, II nominated. and
elected. he would give the state and
country the benefits OF business
training which has made him famil-
lar with many OF the leading i'm
dustries and given him a clear un-
derstandtng OF the general needs
which will so surely confront the
country in the immediate future, In
this statement Mr.. Hlte disclaImed
political ambition, and was moved to
action only by desire to serve his
party and to give the people the ben
eft OF a business experience such rs
which but few West TirgInIans have
had. He has been proceeding upon
this plan of campaign. and the re-
suits have been gratifying. and even
surprising In the magnitude OF the
favor his candidacy has received.
Mr.. Hite's friends at home know
he always plays square In whatever
he undertakes. and in this campaign
for the nomination he is playing
SQUARE with the whole people of the
state. Realization OF this truth is
in a large measure responsible for
the remarkable impetus his candl-
dacy has received, and for the steady
growth of confidence in the man and
his promises.
AS the people become better nc,
quainted with Mr.. Hite, who IL max
Ing an aggressive canvas. they be-
come more and more convinced that
they need n business man to repro
sent them in the Senate, and that
Mr.. Hite is the man they need. His
ability Is unquestioned, his sincerity
OF purpose unchallenged and his pop,
ulnrity is growing daily.

MODIFICATION OF
PROHIBITION Law
Vets Will Try to Have Prohibi-
ton Rule in West Virginia
Made Less Strict.

WHEELING, March 20-It is adj
mittcd by DIR. George W. Otto, a To-
cal leader in tho movement, that
West Virginia "wets" intend to make
prohibition an issue in the nomina-
ton and election of candidates for
the State Senate and House OF Dele
gates this year.
DR.. Otto was sergeant-lt-arms OF
the lower house during the legIsla-
tive session OF 1915, and since then
he has visited many different coun-
ties. He processes to have discover
ed sentiment OF regret upon the part
OF voters who supported the prohihi-
tIon amendment in the belief that
they would have no trouble in OBJ
tanning liquor for personal use, and
who find tnat 1t is becoming increas-
ingly difficult every day to get a
drink.
The plan of the "wets" does not
contemplate rcsubmisslon OF the pro-
hIbitton amendment. They arc
not willing to so that far
in the face of the 10000
majority cast against the saloons.
Their aim Is to extract some OF the
teeth from the Yost law, which was
enacted to make prohibition prohib-
1t Their program Is repeal or
modification Of the Yost law, TO per-
nit shipments into the state for per-
sonal use. and to legalizn tho use OF
alcoholic drinks in private clubs.
II is also proposed to give new
definition by legislative enactment
to alcoholic drinks within the mean
ing of the prohibition amendment tc
the state constitution. A bill will be
introduced, according to DR.. Otto, to
permit the sale of beverages contain
Ing less than ten or fifteen per cent
of alcohol. such as beer ale, porter
and light wines.

The Exponent hopes to get votes
for the Democratic ticket with the
following:
While Socialists are trying in vain
to get their ticket on the city cleo
ton ballot. they would do well to
remember that 1t was Republican
legislature which disfranchised them
by passing the present primary law
It will take far more than that tc
induce Socialists to vote the Demo
cratic ticket, which is as distasteful
to them as It is to all other parties
opposed to the Democratic way OF do
ing things which way Is full OF In

GRIPPE IS CONTAGIOUS.
Furnished by Department of Pre-
ventive Medicine, State
University.

For the last five or six weeks,
the country, from one end to the
othsr has been experiencing an
epide mic of what is generally known
as grippe.
Symptoms are those of severe
cold With more or less sore throat,
cough, pains in the head and about
the body. In some cases the
symptoms are quite persistent.
1t seems certain that the great
majority, at Least, of these cases
are not true grippe. SINE bacter;-
ologists h ave reported finding
streptococcus in the throat and not
the bacillus which causes gripp i.
Nevertheless, the prevention is
exactly the same for such a case as
for the true grippe.
The disease is acutely contagious,
Contaeion takes place most readily
by direct contact. The more init
mate and prolonged this contact
the greater the danger of conta
eion. Persons should avoid crowds
as much as possible, and if it is
necessary to be with those suffer
ing from the symptoms which have
been described. they should insist,
as far as possible, upon such per
sons keeping at respectful dis.
lance. While coughing or sneez
ing, he person afflicted should
keep the mouth and nose covered
with handkerchief. Kissing.
especially, should be avoided The
habit which many mothers have o
blowing the noses of number Of
children in the same handkerchief
should not be practiced.
There is no specific which will
prevent this cold. The best meth
DDS Of prevention ale a good diet,
consisting of nutritious, but ligh'
foods, the use uf the cold bath
