A FORCED BENEVoLENCE

Governor CornweIl as the honor
> guest Of the Bankers Club Of Pitts
burgh at their monthly dinner Satur-
? day evening. in an inoffensive manner
T.. called the attention OF the Pennsyl-
ranians to the lions share they were
getting OF one OF West Virginta's
greatest products. natural gas. to the
embarrassment % our own industrial
enterprises It was delicate subject
for a guest to handle. but Governor
Cornwell got away with 1t In g grace
full manner. and without in any par
ticular ovcrstepping the proprietles Of
the occasion.
The situation preached by the gov.
ernor was very aptly described BY him
as irritating 10 the industrial interests
Of this State. Blu; it is more than
that 1t is Supremacy unjust one in
inflicting losses both 70 manufacturers
and employees in the frequent Interrupt
.tion OF operations through the failure
OF the gas supply. This condition OF
affairs is so familiar 70 the people OF
West Virginia that II requires no en-
largement ar this time. It is an an
omalouS predicam"nt We find our
selves in OF providing for the prosper
ity of communities outside OF the State
while We beGgar our own industrial
interests Il is Il henevolence that Is
forcibly exacted and wholly contra
dictory OF the piainest rules Of equity.
We do not becrudge the prosperity
of our neshbor State. but we are juSti-
fed in asking that we shall be served
sufficiently of something that is our
own before it is supplied to outside
parties for their enrichment. And our
INDICATION. as Governor Corn
we'll pointed our should excite
no wonder abroad when our industries
close down for want Of gas. or when
domestic consumers find il difficult to
keep warm. while greedy corpora
ton profits and procrastinates in af-
fording relief.
Governor Cornwell in a deferential
spirit told his Pittsburgh audience
that 'in West Virginia We are expect
ing them (the gas co,upanies) TO take
care of our requirements without the
necessity OF any action on the part OF
the State to coerce them" If some
Improvement is not forthcoming in the
gas supply this winter the outraged

nre supplies the remedy.

A RATHER STIFF DEMAND

The railway trainmen have Officially
presented their demands for an in
crease In wages, amounting toa 40 per
cent advance, to the heads Of the rari-
GUS railroads Of the country. They
have, in gracious spirit OF accommo-
datiou, given the railroad managers
until December 81 to make answer to
their demands. AS the trainmen have
absolutely refused TO consider arbi-
1ration, the railroads have unreServed'
" nut their case in the hands Of the
President to do with as he will. Under
the present conditions the railroads
cannot possibly afford 10 accedc to
such demands The lntellig"nccr is
not inclined to say that the trainmcn
are not entitled 10 Increased wages.
but their previous attitude cannot be
said TO count in their favor with the
unprecedented public. Congress Is in
session again, and may take the mat
ter In hand and act from changed
viewpoint. But It Is not likely. as
there is an election next year
The 1ntclligencer does not question
the innate loyalty of these men. Gen
orally speaking, all workers arc en-
titled 10 their fair share in rompensa-
ton for what they do. as arc those
who supply capital and ability for
energetic direction Of The work; but
they should be ready TO avoid demand
ing anything in the way OF excess
made possible by the cxlgency. They
should share In sacrifice. if necessary
10 tighten the national burden which
they must help 10 carry In The future.
Those who supply capital and direct
ing capacity have 10 turn back much
in taxation and to sacrifice possible
profits, at the same time taking heavy
risks for the future. So far as the
railroads arc concerned. we believe
they have about been MIXED dry OF
their stock Of sacrifices. although we
might be mistaken.

EHE MOST WORTHY CHARITY

Health is more than wealth. Health
brings contentment and happiness
that wealth cannot purchase. Sick
ness and disease are prerentaole in
most cases. and therefore it is rs
much an economic interest as phil
.anthropic effort TO prevent the ravages
of disease. The greatest ravager Of
this country is tuberculosis. The en-
aminations for army draft purposes
disclosed the fact that from to s
per cent of the men were rejected on
account Of tuberculosis or tuoercular
symptoms. Nose Of these cases. the
experts declare. would never have de-
veloped had the preliminary symptoms
been discovered and treated In dme.
To arouse the. people to the dangers
of this plague this week IS being de-
voted 10 a nationwide campaign by
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention Of tuberculosis, In CO.

Yesterday the churches Of this city
brought the subject to the attention
Of their congregations either through
the minister or some special speaker.
II is matter that greatly concerns
The community. as We have a sana-
forum established at View Point, this
county, which has done good work In
-effecting cures OF tuberulous patients,
and which could administer to many
more if the accommodations were in
creased. The sanatortum Is support
ed mainly by Il few interested per
sons. and with some financial aid
given by tho county. It. is one Of the
most worthy charities that appeals to
the humanitarian instincts OF the peo
ple. Meetings will be held this week
to forward the movement in behalf OF
this great work. Additional buildings
are needed to meet the requirements
for treating the increasing number OF
patients. and 1t is hoped the public
will be sufficiently educated up to the
gravity Of the situation to give the
support necessary to prevent at least
any embarrassment overtaking the
sanator1um, as once happened. which
compelled 1t TO close.

GREAT SAVINGS SCHEME

One of the greatest popular savings
enterprises the government has ever
iuaugurated begins operation this
week. and will extend throughout the
year 1918. II is the war savings GER
tidcate plan. which appeals 10 that
portion Of the population unable to
subscribe to Liberty Bonds. but which
pares the way for eventual posses
sion Of such securities through easy
payments of 25 cents each invested in
thrift stamps. When Is Of these
stamps have been purchased they can
be exchanged for a war savings certt-
ficare to be redeemed BY the govern
ment in FIVE years for SIS. These GER
tificates can be accumulated in 'suf'
ficient numbers to be exchanged for
800 Liberty Bond. The. governments
object. OF course, is to get the money.
II. wants the people to invest i'll this
manner to the amount Of $2.00Q,0o0,-
900. but il is easy to see that the bene-
fits accruing to such investors will be
profitable not only in interest returns,
but in forming habits Of thrift, some
thing that many OF us need TO be
taught. It will tend to make us
::!orc provident nation, and that
,peops hetter nation
The amount OF war savings certiti-
Gates allotted TO West Virginia Is
s25, 100000 and the campaign this
week is to bring the matter TO tn" at
tention OF the people. Every county
is to be thoroughly organized for this
purpose. County chairmen have been
appointed by State War Savings pl-
rector Robert l.. Archer, Of Hunting
ton who will meet in conference with
the State Director at Charleston to-
morrow to formulate plans for promot-
ing this great thrift propaganda. Once
the scheme gets 10 the understanding
of the people there can be no doubt
Of its success.

THE DE sAULLES VERDICT

However great may have been the
sentimental the moral and maternal
considerations that the De Saulles
iurv took into account In making up
It's verdict it was not justified in al
lowing them to outweigh tho incon-
testible facts that were laid before
it. Plain, unqualified murder had
been committed. but il was a woman
who was to be- Judged. whose wifehood
had been outraged and whose mater
nal love had provoked the rage that
pulled the trigger of the weapon that
dealt out death. These things and the
ridiculous concoction Of a convenient
phase OF mental irresponsibilily
played on the emotions Of the jurym"n
and led them to weigh the heart plea
above the law in the case.
This verdict was rendered IN a

GETTING DOWN TO WORK

All of the co-ordinatinG committees

in this city last Monday have been
filled out By the several chairmen with
a personnel that bespeakS results COR
the project outlined. which con;cip-

the railroads. The most tmportan' of

certainty selected d very efficient and
promising membership Of that body.
To provide 4 feast YOU must first catch
your hare. II there is going 20 b. any
practical eXemplitication of this great
scheme the first thing is 10 provide
the vessels to carry the traffic. and
that can only be done by financing the
shipping company that it n proposed
TO organize. The Intelligencer has the
greatest confidence in the men Assoc
ciated together on the finance COM
mittee to speedily accomplish the
work expected Of them.
This committee will have a meeting
tomorrow in this city. The prompt
ness with which the prelimaries are
being approached indicates substan-
tial fulfillment of the expectations eX-
cited by the enthusiasm that prevailed
at the conference last week. The other
committees will no doubt keep up with
the progress made by the finance COM
mittee, so that the elimination Of the
project will find a coordinate COM
pletenesS that will insure smooth
working organization.
AS The Intelligencer pointed out
last week, the governments interest in
the equipment OF the Erie canal for
heavy traffic is highly encouraging TO
improved conditions on the Ohio river.
for this great highway OF commerce
affords the same possibilities of relief
in supplementing the railroad facilities
and can in no sense be ignored as a
helpful adjunct in promoting the war
preparations Of the government.
