stated that tho presence of an arma

realize that should 1t sink an armed

that upon the government owning the

OF the armament.

A NYTHING that indicates progress along agri-

best governed states the states with the hap
plest, most progressive and contented people and
where the highest average intelligence and the
greatest amount of political and economic indie.
pendence is are those states in which agriculture
has been brought to high degree and most of the
farms arc owned by the people who live on and
farm them. We want West Virginia to join the
slsterhood of these states, and the sooner it
the better VIC will be satisfied
In the meantime goin. to keep on plug
ging for better conditions on the farms and more
farm boys and girls in the high schools and colleges.
West Virginia colleges preferably. These some
what offhand remarks due to the fact that one
OF the many interesting features of the annual con-
vcntion of the West Virginia Federation of Wo-
mems clubs was an address by Commissioner of
Agriculture Williams, who assured his auditors
that West Virginia is the modern land of promise.
and then somewhat plaintively added, if the re-.
porters OF the Wheeling newspapers are to be relied
upon, that it is amazing that her own people are
the last to realize it and take advantage of it them
selves.'
1t is not so very amazing, however. It is because
until recently no effort was made to teach the West
Virglmans what wonderful opportunities they
have. Iowa and Wisconsin and other states ont in
the West have Systematically been showing their
citizens how to make the most Of their .opportun-
tiles and have not hesitated TO spend large sums of
money and no end of brains ON the job West yir.
glnia has taken good start in this right direction
What it needs to make the good work progress with
more speed is more Commissioner Williamses.

Things are getting SO bad that our

having become drunk over Sunday on

which has developed in the past few

Z And whether he is unable to declare himself, be-

BRITISH TRADE INCREASES.

A 80 per cent increase in imports from the Unit
~ ed Kingdom the first eight months of the cur
rent calendar year, over the first eight months
OF 1915 shows the extent 10 which the Wilson In
derwood free trade law is ofsetting any handicaps
under which John Bull may be aboring on account
OF the war. Imports for the eight months ended
August last, from the British Isles, totaled $780,
100000, compared with $162,OOO,0OO during the
1915 period, and $176,0O0OOO for the first eight
months of 1913, under the Republican protective
tariff law. And England is an exporter chiefly of
manufactured products.
The British Board of Trade figures show that
564S yards of cotton cloth were exported to the
United States during September, 1916, compared
with 3766,OO0 yards for the same month in 1915,
while $4,000 yards of wooens sent to us, com.
pared with $4,000 yards during September of last
year. For the first nine months of the calendar
year, ended September, the total exports of the
United Kingdom to all the world were valued at
$3419, 100000, compared with $3,11S, 1000 for
the first nine months of 1915 and 81 52l 100000 for
the first nine months of 1914. &c. evidently, Great
Britain is not such commercial ruin as the Presi-
dents free-trade son-in-law, Mr.. McAdoo would
have the voters believe.

THE ISSUE OF PREPAREDNESS,

w HEN an administration appoints such men
w. as W. j. Bryan and Josephus Daniels TO high
office that is proof that the administration
is not for real Preparedness. Bryan removed him
self from office, but Daniels remains. At the Begin
ming Of the agitation for preparedness Woodrow
Wilson was absolutely opposed to it, and he lid his
best to silence the growing demand both in and out
Of Congress for more effective army and navy.
Mr.. Wilson was ''too proud to fight
Then Congress passed half-baked preparedness
measure with the intention of preventing prepar-
edness from becoming an issue in this campaign
The spirit of the Wilson administration has never
been for real preparedness.
There never was any real enthusiasm on the part
Of Wilson or Daniels for the navy, and neither
know anything of its real business moreover, you
could not expect cotton factory to be well run
& the men in charge hated the business. Ford, the
