To Catch En- Both WAYS

The Republican state house ma
chine adopted a very novel and in
genious method OF straddling the wo-
man suffrage question, and making
both the pros" and "antis" believe
that the party is for them. The ma
chimes Huntington convention plat
form contains a plank favoring suff-
rage, but the Republican state cam
paign will be conducted by a man who
is frankly and bitterly opposed to suff-
rage.
Are you in favor of votes for wo-
men? The West Virginia Republican
machine most respectfully refers you
to its declaration i'm favor of the suff-
rage amendment to the state constitu-
ton.
Are you opposed to votes for wo-
men? The Republican machine calls
your attention TO the fact that dele
gates were notified on the floor Of the
Huntington convention that the plat
form suffrage declaration was not
binding upon individual Republicans,
and that their acceptance or rejection
Of II would in no manner affect their
party regularity. II you are still I'M
convinced the machine reminds you Of
the vigorous fight against suffrage
made by that fine old reactionary. JOS
eph Holt Gaines, and adds with a sly
and meaning wink: I'VE made him
state chairman"
Whether the voters are I'm favor OF
ratification or rejection OF the sun
rage amendment, the Republican ma
chine is with them. IT'S plans have
been laid like the darkey's coon trap

Must Advance SnhserintIon

The paper situation shows no signs
of returning to normal conditions and
publishers must advance advertising
and circulation prices in proportion to
the raise in paper prices. according
to a statement issued by the depart
ment of journalism Of the University
of Kansas. The statement In full is
as follows:
/ Newspaper advertisers and readers
should prepare themselves for an in
crease in both departments of the
daily press II countrywide conditions
are any indication. The European
war has already forced New York pa
pers to sell on a non-returnable basis
This means that the carrier or news
boy who purchases papers is not per-
mitted to return those which he does
not sell and receive rebate. Other
papers have increased their prices
from one and two cents per copy to
FIVE cents, and now the big paper mills
declare they see no avenue of escape
from further increases.
One instance of the effect that the
war is having on the price of paper
is that cellulose, a fibrous matter pro-
duced from cotton and linen rags and
wood pulp and the basis of all kinds
of paper is now in great demand by
the munition factories of this country
for the manufacture OF high explo-
sives. Munition firms, rushed to the
limit to fill war orders, are paying
fabulous prices for this material and
as consequence paper mills have
been compelled to keep on even terms
in order to obtain the necessary sup
ply for the manufacture of print pa
per. The Dupont powder mills for ex-
ample have installed battery OF beat
ers with a capacity vastly greater than
the capacity of any paper mill in the
United States and are paying top
prices for rag stock and commanding
first choice of this stock from all over
the country.
ITO the printer this means the ne
cessity Of advancing his advertising
and circulation prices I'm proportion
to the general advance I'm the price of
paper. He has no alternative and the
American reading public will have to
foot the bill"

August 10. 1916.
Dear Father: be-.
Just few lines to let you know I
am well. We had a sand storm which
started last evening and lasted all
night. The air was so full OF sand
most OF the time one could scarcely
see for a distance OF ten feet. We
had shower of rain Saturday night
that helped some. saw a very
strange sight Saturday night after the
rain. The moon came out bright. as
did also the stars, and then a rainbow
appeared In the sky. with lightning
flashing every now and then. 1t GER
tainly was interesting.
I saw I'm the papers that West Viz
ginia had suffered severe food on
Paint creek. resulting In many deaths
and much loss OF property. And that
! the Guards were ordered out for res
cue work. Did the Kingwood boys GO?
/ made a trip up into the mountains
last Sunday and we were gone all day
as-it is ten miles to the top. 1t sure
was some climb and once is enough
for me. In some places we had to
climb almost straight up for thirty or
forty feet over bare rock and II you
had lost your balance II would have
| been goodbye, Johnny, for one would
have dropped two~or three hundred
! feet. IL was really harder to get
back down than to climb up, but the
trip was worth the climb. The peak Is
about 1900 feet above sea level and
one can see for miles and miles. You
| can see the Rio Grande river for thir-
ty or forty miles and also over into
Mexico and New Mexico. 1t was a
wonderful sight
I was Just over at the commissary
with the quartermaster sergeant and
who do you suppose / saw. Do you
remember Russell McClain who used
to live in Kingwood? Well, It was
he. He enlisted in Monongahela City
and knew me but failed to recognize
him at first. 1t had been a long time
! since I saw him last
I don't see much chance of leaving
here soon; think they will keep us
here a few months any how. They
are working us hard, really harder
than the regular army.
Well, / must close now and get to
work. Hope you are we'll. Write
soon.
With love,

To Make Good Jelly

The canning-club specialists OF the
States Relations Service for the north
ern and western states recommend
that the following points be observed
to make certain that jelly will be OF
good quality.
After the fruit has been boiled and
the texture broken down It should be
poured into a jelly bag and permitted
to drain for a considerable time.
Forcing the juice from the pulp will
clause cloudy jelly. When the Juice
has been collected, place two tea
spoonfuls OF cold unsweetend fruit
juice in two teaspoonfuls of grain al
cohol and mix by shaking gently. AL
low to settle for one-half hour, prefer
ably in glass tumbler. II Jelly
like substance collects In the bottom
OF the mixture 1t is evidence that pee
tin is present and the Juice is suit
able for Jelly making. When the test
shows absence of pectin, the white
portion OF orange peel, apples, or
green citron melon may be added to
the juice to supply the necessary pee
tin, Twelve ounces of sugar added
to pint of Juice will make a jelly of
the proper firmness and texture. Jel-
ly is ready to be poured into the glass
es when two rows of drops form on
the edge of paddle or on the edge of
a spoon held sidewise.

The Lords Amounted

The reason why everything that
President Wilson does must be wrong
is carefully explained by Mr.. Hughes:
"You could no more build up this
country by the application OF Demo
cratic doctrines than you could 20
flying through the air in the old.
fashioned flying machines of thirty
years ago"
Therefore. President Wilson, being
Democrat, is mentally, morally and
physically incapable of doing anything
ight:-but Mr.. Hughes, being a Re-
publican, is incapable of doing any
thing wrong.
The present Chief Justice OF the
United States Supreme Court, being
Louisiana Democrat, is ipso facto a
fool and sectionalist, but a former
associate justice of the United States
Supreme Court who recently resigned
in order to accept the Republican
nomination for President, is one of
the great law-givers of all the ages.
People like Mr.. Hughes and Mr..
Crane and Mr.. Penrose and Mr.. Can
non and Mr.. Mann and Mr.. Barnes
are the Lords Amounted. They were
raised up by an all-wise Providence
to be the ruling class of the country.
The Lord intended them to govern be-
cause He gave them Republican minds.
But people like Mr.. Wilson were crea-
ted to be hewers of wood and drawers
of water. If the Deity had wished
them to NEEDLE with government He
would have made them Republicans.
Mr.. Hughes has proved himself the
George F. Baer of politics. He knows
exactly into whose hands Divine
Providence placed the welfare of the
working classes and of everybody
else.-New York World.

Finds Skeleton

A cave in which on solid rock
wall there is the imprint of human
hand as IL II were made when the
rock was plastic has been discovered
on the farm of John w. Weist in Dry
Ror Canyon, eight miles northwest of
Vernal, Utah. On this rock are all
sorts of hieroglyphics and the cave
contained the skeleton of a child
wrapped in bark, Indian fashion.
In removing ash heaps Weist found
corn cobs, q few grains of corn and
an arrow of cane spiked with grease
wood. He regrets now that he did not
preserve the kernels of corn and plant
them in hope that corn of an ancient
culture might be again produced, but
at the time he thought, OF course.
their presence among the ashes pre-
cluded the possibility of life germs be-

A NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENT

No achievement of the Wilson admin
istration has brought more nearly unani-
nous congratulations TO the President
than the successful negotiation OF the
treaty with the Kingdom of Denmark,
whereby the United States is to come into
possession of the Danish West Indies.
The need for the acquisition of these
islands has been fully appreciated by
American statesmen for many decades.
1t WAS well understood as far back as
1902 that President Roosevelt then caused
Secretary OF State Hay to enter into nego-
tiations looking toward the transfer oil
the islands to the sovereignty OF the
United States.
At that time the chief consideration in
the minds OF the officials Of the American
government was the possible relation OF
the sovereignty OF the islands TO the
Monroe doctrine. 1t was fully realized
that Denmark had little interest in her
possessions and that the possibility al
ways existed that she might dispose oil
them to some European power. The
American people, as well as their gov
ornamental representatives, were well
aware that the purchase OF the islands by
Germany or some other European nation
might give rise TO perplexing questions
for the United States, in so far as the in
tegrity of the Monroe doctrine was con-
cerned.
That was before the completion OF the
Panama Canal, and the question Of the
ownership Of the islands was immeas-
urably lees important than it is today.
Today all of the reasons exist which JUS
titled Mr.. Roosevelt in seeking to pur-
chase the Danish West Indies, and there
has been added the paramount consid-
Grafton OF their strategic Importance as
affecting the safety of the Panama Canal.
1t is interesting to note that Republican
leaders OF the first calibre at Washington
have been fully as outspoken as the
Democrats in approving the President
plan. The signing of the treaty, which
is expected shortly, is held back now only
by the need for clarifying a few OF the
minor points at issue. 1t will bring to q
close long period OF secret negotiations
between the United States and Denmark,
in which the greatest care was taken that
European nations which might consider
themselves interested in the transaction
should remain in ignorance OF what was
going on. OF course this manner OF con-
Quoting the negotiations followed the best
uses Of diplomacy.
Opinion prevails in all well-informed
quarters that the President is eminent!y
justified in consenting to the payment OF
$25, 600, 900 in gold and the surrender OF
certain intangible rights of discovery"
which the United States has in Greenland,
as the consideration for which the United
States is to receive the new territory.
