LAW should REACH

hibiteo.

Tho announcement by John Skel-
ton Williams, Comptroller of the
Currency. that congress should pass
a law to prevent banking officials
from violating the usury law, Is
attracting considerable attention
throughout the state, and the people
believe such law would save them
annually thousands of dollars.
A few years ago the railroads and
other big corporations did what they
pleased. with apparent impuuity. un.

demanded change Conditions
were not improved, but the wave Of
public opinion swept on gathering
greater volume until II reached Wash.
ington with such force that congress
acted There never has been a more
friendly feeling between the rail-
roads and the people than today. Tho
former are enjoying great period
of prosperity, their financial condi-
lions are good aud their dividends
are declared without difficulty.
The same rule applies TO banking.
Twenty years ago II was not uncom,
mon for borrowers TO pay more than
the legal rate of interest Many vera
compelled to do so to enable them
to carry on their business But things
have changed. The people have be-
come educated and know when they
pay in excess of per cent that II
is usury. A law governing the ma
tional banks should be enacted ana
the states should not fail to act in
like manner
Only yesterday In Texas six largo

When d state bank assumes the

the construction of permanent good
roads on post routes. The West Vir-
ginia Democrats in the house are sup

John M. Resley Dead.

John M. Resley, " years old, died
at the home in Cumberland of Mrs
Eleanor G. Porter, Sunday. He was
found unconscious Thursday in a
small building on Altamont Terrace
lie served In the Union army IN u
West Virginia cavalry company dur.
ing the Civil war and was noted for
his daring. He was member OF Ty-
Ter Post, Grand Army of the Repuh-
lie, which will have charge Of his IN.
neral today. He never married and
was the last of his family.
In 1873 Mr. Resiey shot and killed
Lloyd clary. editor Of the Mountain

land He had taken umbrage at an
alleged political criticism of his faith

Hite viii Learn.

Notwithstanding the support said
to have been promised by the COVER
nor to W. +. Hite. Of Huntington, in
his race for the Republican nomina-
ton for senator. it is believed here
that the governor will yet announce
his own candidacy. II is pointed out
that he would have better chance
of nomination with the opposition to
him divided than il it were concen-
trated on one man. With A. b. White
and w. r. IIite in the race. and with
Congressman Howard Sutherland
about to enter 1t, the governors
chances would be much better for
nomination than with White alone
opposing him. 1t is believed TO be a
part Of his plan to encourage as many
candidates to enter the field as pos
sible and then become a candidate
himself with his entire state machine
to line up solidly in his support Hite
may yet learn the lesson that Davis
Elkins and Isaac T. Mann learned in
1913.
