THE wet interests and those who are
determined TO get liquor into West Viz
ginia by hook or crook are making much
over decision by Judge Dayton that ii
is no violation OF the United States statute
to bring liquor into this State by "a private
vehicle or in personal way independent
of interstate commerce. This decision
has not been disputed-but il must not
be forgotten that il is clear violation OF
the State law to bring liquor into West
Virginia in any manner whatever, or to
transport il for as much as one yard over
any road, street, lane or alley. This
State law holds good, and bootleggers
and oooze-hoisters will do well TO heed 1t.

AND now come The express companies
a-whining for permission to increase their
rates and add about 100000 more to
the backs OF the long suffering public.
The petition should be thrown out OF
court. The express companies have
little or no investment, they keep their
expenses down 10 a minimum by cheap
methods, and there is no reason why
they should be allowed to increase their
income by extorting more money from
the pockets of the people. They are
doing an enormous business at present,
and ii they cannot manage 10 conduct a
paying business under present conditions
there's no hope for them. The desire
for increased rates is only greedy grab.

Strong Men in New
Swedish Ministry
Inclusion of Socialist
Branting Chief Feature
of Eden Cabinet
By Carl Lunberg

STOCKHOLM, Oct. 2O.-The chic
feature of the new Swedish government
is the inclusion Of the Socialist, Brant-
ing, the strongest man in Sweden to-
day.
The Eden ministry is composed OF
some of Sweden's most prominent Lib
erals and Socialists. DR.. Hellner, Min
lister OF Foreign Affairs, belongs to nc
party, but he is an eminent jurst and
is well acquainted with the expectation
problems, having been director in a
syndicate of wood exporters and also
a member of the Swedish delegation
sent to England in 1916 TO discuss COM
mercial negotiations.
Loefgren, the new Minister of JUS
tice, a we'll kSown lawyer and mem
Der of an important branch of the Lib
eral party. He has been n England
many years and has aided in numerous
commercial negotiations. He was q
member of the 1915 delegation.
Schotte and Petersen, ministers OF
Interior and Agriculture, were member;
Of the last government. Ryden, Minis
ter of Education, is the most important
member of the Socialist party after
Branting. Palmstierna, Minister of Ma
rine, is captain in the Royal Reserve
Marine and a member of the second
chamber. Petren, the member without
portfolio, is a lawyer and member
of the last government, while linden,
the other minister without portfolio, is
a distinguished professor Of Upsal Uni
versity. ,~- - .-~---
Branting this morning announces in
the Social Demokraren" that he re-
linquishes the position of chief editor
Of that Journal in consequence of his
entry in the Cabinet.

Russians Wreck Railroads
In Frequent Retreat.

The gauge of the Russian railroads
is about one foot wider than that Of
the German railroads. Hence the Rus
slams during their retreat after the
battle of Tannenberg believed that the
Germans would be unable to use their
narrower gauge locomotives and cars
on the Russian lines. The Germans,
however, moved one of the rails foot
inside it's former position. At the same
time, they ruined the track for Rus
sian use by saving of the ties just
outside the shifted rails. The Russians
came back, and on their next retreat
exploded a cartridge at each rail joint,
smashing the joint and bending in the
abuttine rail ends so that cars could
not pass. This involved for the Ger
mans the huge task Of bringing UP new
steel and relayng the entire track. The
job WAS eompleted.-Dallas News. 9.
