beans are of different varieties and
colors, but all contain a valuable
amount of protein and are rich in food
values. Soak the beans overnight

MISTAKEN CAUTION

Twelve members Of the United
States Senate succeeded in defeating
the will OF Seventy-six who stood ready
to grant the President the authority
he asked TO arm the merchant vessels
Of this country that they might pro-
coed on their business of traffic on the
high seas, and so the session Of the
Sixty-fourth Congress expired by con-
sututiona1 limitation, leaving the in
ferentia1 impression to the outside
world that the people Of the nation
were divided in their support OF its
Chief Magistrate. Of course, this is
not the true reading Of the case, for
the patriotic spirit Of the country is
behind President Wilson. !,
This action. or rather lack of action,
will not deter the President from pro-
ceeding to arm the merchant vessels,
for that power is already vested in the
Office he holds. The men who with
held their approval Of any exercise of
that vested authority in fear Of pre-
cipitating war have done the most to-
wards Fastening the probability into
actually.

THE WHITE HOUSE PICKETs

While The Intelligencer has by its
performances shown its unqualified ap-
prevail of the contention Of the women
Of West Virginia of their right to sur
frage, it cannot. nor has it ever en-
dorsed the militant methods Of the
Congressional Union branch Of the
national movement 1t comedies to
these women the right to earnestness
in their appeals, but 1t believes that
anything that Is SO distasteful 10
American ideals as the tactics they
have employed in picketing the White
House will not only get them nowhere,
but actually injure their chances OF
success. To show to what lengths
they had intended to so today, on the
occasion Of the inauguration Of Presi-
dent Wilson, it was proposed to en-

A MUDDLED SITUATION

Governor Cornwell, the first Demo
cratic Governor OF West Virginia in
TWEEN years, in assuming office Is met
with the peculiar situation of being at
the head of government for whose
maintenance no provision has been
made by the legislature. 1t is the re-
suit OF combination of circumstances,
but mainly on account of the opposing
political complexion Of the two
branches of the legislature From the
very first il was evident that the
Democratic House of Delegates meant
10 precipitate the condition OF affairs
that has resulted through its deter
mined opposition TO any appropriation
bill the Republican Senate might sup
port. The Interior object has been
only TOO plain. in spite OF the specious
reasons the Democrats give for their
opposition.
II has been the avowcd purpose Of
the Democrats 10 have the legislature
default in its prescribed constitutional
duty To provide the necessary appro-
priationS for the conduct Of the gov
ernmen;, so that the incoming Demo-
cratic Governor might have the oppor-
tunity of vetoing provisions for ex-
penditures in certain departments they
could not withhold under a Republi-
can Governor. This partisan inteu-
ton has been but thinly yelled under
the plea of economy. a motive wholly
: foreign to the characteristics of De
mocracy. State as we'll as National.
After the haste OF the House Of Dele
gates to adjourn the regular session
and in violation Of al precedent, if
not Constitutional provisions, The In
telligencer is inclined to concur with
the statement made by the President
of the Senate at the opening Of the
extra session, that it would have been
better to have let the matter stand
Just as It was, with the responsibility
resting where it belongs, upon the OBJ
strucrlye Democratic majority of the
House Of Delegates, and where, at this
muddled hour, it still rests.

CARRANZA UNMASKED

The negative attitude Of General
Carranza with regard to the disclos-
ures Of the Zimmerman note 10 the
German minister at Mexico City, in
itself would indicate a culpable reti-
ccnce. Fortunately the United States
does not have to depend on either the
denial or the confession of this crafty
Mexican for the truth. This govern
ment now has evidence of his actual
connivance with German officials and
or acts that show his readiness, nay
his eagerness. to cooperate with Ger
many in hostile demonstrations that
nation may engage in against this
country.
But this should not be surprising
when his course toward the United
States from the time of the Niagara
Falls conference. which sought 10
bring peace to Mexico, to the recent
fiasco of the INSTRUMENTATION Com
mission reveals him as being resentful
OF any friendly orertures this govern
ment has offered. AS bad and vicious
as Villa is he would have made much
more dependable authority to have
dealt with. The head Of the de facto
government of Mexico has, in all his
dealings with the American govern
ment, evinced a low cunning wholly
irreconcilable with his pompous pro-
fessiohs. He at last stands out IN MS
true colors as being cheek BY JoWi with
anv force that is liable to injure or
enibarrass this country. Those who
conspire are ultimately destroyed by
conspiracy, and Carranza is but snap
ing his career to that miserable end.

CANNOT BE JUSTIFIED

There are only two things that are
important in connection with the ad-
mission Of the German Foreign Min
lister Zimmerman Of the authenticity
OF his note to the German Minister at
TLe1ico City, which proposed to en-
gage Mexico and Japan in conflict with
the United States in case this country
went to war with Germany. The first
is his remarkable recital Of an mag
mary "Pan-American plot" as an e1.
cuse fo- the course Germany has pur-
sued. Where could he have procured
such information Of a scheme that
had no existence. The second is the pre-
,ence of the necessity Of securing Mex
leo and japan as allies in the probable
event Of war with this country. which
is Il very lame subterfuge. Al the time
the note was written there was no in-
dication Of an unpleasant termination
of our relations with Germany. except
such acts as Germany herself might
have been thinking OF as liable to force
this country into the conflict.
The grievous part Of the incident is
that while the United States was trust
ing to the friendly representations OF
the German foreign office and its eX-
,ressed desire to avoid any omen rum
ture with us. it. was consptring to at
tack this country through two allies.
Much can be forgiven Germany in
other matters where the Law of self
preservation gave some license. hui il

Ions as she now admits toward IT, can

,, The local board of the United States fuel administration last night stated through Secretary c, B.

In all 25 cars have been arranged for, which will tide over East Lake patrons of the local coal yards.
 The board is emphasizing the UT : gent need of coal economy, as it is stated that the supply is so low that conservation is absolutely necessary in order to stave off coal famine that is imminent about January under present conditions.
 The East Lake shortage was learned through the investigation Of the board in ascertaining the amount of coal on hand by local dealers.
