Editorial Comment

THE WEST VIRGINIA WAY.
leY coNpol
the Charleston Mail.

From the Charleston Mail.
Governor Cornwell has deemed It
fitting to call attention to the prompt
and efficient manner in which the
carried out without the slightest hitch
anywhere" He further. expresses the
doubt if better work has been done by
local boards in any state than was
done by these boards in West Virginia.
Certain it is that the work appears to
have been accomplished promptly, et-
ficiently and expeditiously. The Sc.
lected men responded with the alac.
rity OF volunteers. They may be call.
ed "conscripts," but never before in
the history of the world perhaps were
there found to be conscripts more
willing or who responded more preapt.
ly or more cheerfully.
The sight must have been reassur.
ing to those who have been bemoan.
ing the sad lot of the defenders OF
native land against the most cruel OF
foes. 1t must have dispelled the false
theory that the conscript would be
torn weeping and cringing from home
and fireside, it must bring to the
mushy natures of those who do not
know human nature in its depths a
new realization of the latent courage
and the innate heroism which are the
heritage OF the human race from ages
remote; it must impress upon them
that there is something in the hearts
and conscience of the world today
which is far beyond their narrow WIS.,
ion; and it must come to all as a com.
fort and assurance that West Virginia
and the nation are equal to the crisis.
1t is well that Me machinery has
worked so well, so skillfully and so ef.
fectively; and due credit should be
given it; and also to Major Wallace,
largely the directing genius. But it
must not be forgotten that the spirit OF
the men selected-thise called accord.
ing to the high purpose of the nation
the chosen heroes who are TO stand
first on the roll of honor in time prece.
dence, was q most important factor
in the smooth running Of the machin-
cry.
"Montani Semper Liberi" is the spir.
1t OF the drafted and the motto of the
state seal is the motto of all. Where
the spirit sbides there are to be found
the fruits of the spirit.
Honor to them ALL! ;3s

FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER rs, 1917.
CAR SHORTAGE HERE ONLY.

IN UR1NG the discussion regarding wages for the Cen
- trail competitive district yesterday the operators told
. the miners that during the war they would have to
abandon their habit of knocking off for day or two each
week. and the TOLD the operators they knew that there
should be greater efforts to increase output,
Not word was SAID about inadequate car supply as
factor the output The explanation for that is that for
the present at least the miners getting all the they
can load. And here the Monongah division of the
Baltimore and Ohio the coal shortage continues pile
up and the mines losing much time that account
that the problem to get them work but to provide
enough work to keep them about the plant.
There must be some explanation for this state of affairs

DRAFT AFFECTS
HUNTING LICENSES
General Manager of B. & O.
Secures Nonresident
Tag Here.

Among the non.residents entitled to
hunt in West Virginia is a. ". Thomp-
son, of Baltimore, general manager
OF the Baltimore G Ohio Railroad
Company, he having taken out his Ii.
cense at the office OF the county
clerk in Fairmont.
The hunting licenses are much
smaller in number than they were
last year at this time and the drop
ping off is attributed to the calling
of so many young men for the ar
mics. r.s
Deputy County Clerk Phillips today
stated that he had issued 1870 county
licenses, 3OS Statewide licenses and
several nonresident licenses.

Washington dispatches of yesterday say that de-

If it is made the inquiry will extend to examination

bill and the Brton bill, which would exempt Germans
from the draft the chances that the demand day
light will die out quickly. An inquiry that will inquire
probably would be of nestimable benefit the Repub-

lot of Congressman is the kind that would result in

And sober people never are as lucky

1t is hard to get line on Chicago Mayor Thompson,
whose attitude toward the has been the subject
much hot criticism, calls 1t the sixth German city,
but last night the Chicago Opera association announced
that there will be German operas given during the
coming "in Difference to the sentiments the
American public" Generally speaking, both the opera
association and Big Bill be doing lot of loose
thinking. We do not believe the American public wants
to srate German music for the sins of the Posdam
