yHE REYMANN LEGACY

X certainly must be gratifying to
the trustees OF the estate Of the late
Lawrence A. Reymann, of this city, to
find the cordial note Of approval and
appreciation expressed by the press OF
the State Of the manner of their dis
position of the experiment stock farm
Of the. deceased in Hardy county. The
trustees in looking TO the perpetuation
of young Mr., Reymann'S object were
wise in putting the holdings in the
hands of the Agricultural Extension
Department. of the West Virginia Uni
versity The munificence Of the gift
is only equalled by the fine apprecia-
ton of the trustees Of the vital needs
of West Virginia. the promotion OF its
dairy interests and the betterment OF
its cattle strains. Speaking or the
Reymann farm he Huntington Herald
Dispatch points out that il suggests
a method BY which West Virginia can
introduce and develop d new form or
wealth which will outrival its dimin:
ishing stores of oil and gas, which
will equal it's coal and live forever
and increase in value forever.
The observation is not original but
ii is nevertheless true that we are
devcting entirely TOO much attention
TO the exhaustibla resources OF the
State 2ad 100 little to, the inexhaustl-
bic, the cultivation OF the soil. We
are thus reduced 20 the impoYerishlng
expediency OF importing products that
Ne should raise ourselves. Here IS
where Mr.. REMNANTS vision waS clear
in looking into The future. aud If his
experiment farm, which is 20 be con-
tinued. serves 80 incite greater in
terest in farming he will have left
legacy of incompatible worth.

ton paws a touching tribute 10 MI.

dreamer of dreams, and in. these
dreams ever was the State Of West

commen, that all the good he might
have done for his beloved State had

Mail calls for more dreamers in West
Virginia. And it is u sure thing that
Il would profit by them.

A GREAT OVERSIGHT

Congress went through the old per-
functory act Of declaring the results Of
the Presidential election, the Senate
and House in joint session canrassing
the votes. The V ice President, who
presided, gave the customary warning
about any demonstration Of approval,
and all went as merry as marriage
bell or, we might say as a marriage
bell that is merry, until the vote of
California was announced, which was
the signal. for an outburst Of JOY from
the Democrats. We do not blame
them. for it was by the fluke of that
State that their political bacon was
saved
But what puzzles us is that there
were no wild acclaims Of the lone
West Virginia vote for Wilson. There
was possible Combination in the stu
alton at one time where the one vote
from West Virginia would have turned
the trick for Wilson, in spite OF Call
fornia's traitorous switch. That lone
West Virginia vote was a possibility
at one time, and it should have been
accorded a deferential salute. 1t was
q great oversight.

1t seems that 10 the high cost OF liV-

THE REASON FOR IT

AT a recent meeting Of the American
Pulp and Paper Association the restor-
alton of the duty on pulp from Canada
was favored by the members. 1t was
the old Democratic argument Of free
trade for reducing cost prices that put
Canadian pulp on the free list, and we
now have the revelation that succeeds
to the sophistical plea. just as we had
the increased cost in living, which the
Democrats claimed was due 10 the Re-
publican protective tariff. We con-
TIME to live, but will We ever learn.
The demand made by this Associa-
lion for the restoration of the tariff on
Canadian wood pulp was explained to
be on account Of the inability Of the
American manufacturer 10 compete.
with the Canadian, because OF the SUI
perior waterpower facilities in Canada
and the nearness OF the woods. The
high prices which prevail now are the
penalties we are paying for having
driven the business out Of the coun-
try. Exactly. And the removal OF
duties also explains why many Amer
lean industries have either moved
their establishments TO Canada, or
have established branch concerns in
the Dominion.

thousands uf foreign born laboring men
returned to their native countries ana
our Immigration of laborcrs was CUR
tailed. with The result that there was
a shortage Of labor. Wages increased
rapidly, adding tn the cost Of produc-
ton and nccessitating a higher price
for the product. Prices have been al
yancing because Of steadily increasing
wages and decreasing hours of labor.
food manufacturers have been conf
pcllrd 10 put up their products in
smaller packages. mcticdlly scaled,
thus adding to the cost OF putting the
commodity on the market. and increas-
ln. the price 10 the consumer.
There has been L steady drift of popu-
la tion toward the cities with the result
that higher rents must lie PAID better
clothes must be worn, and more money
spent on nearly all articles OF consump,,
ton. Tho style Of living among AL
classes Of Americans has been raised

patriotic movement is now generally
regarded as one of the great saving
forces Of American national life. This
surprising growth has been due large
" to a series Of mass meetings for the
purpose of stimulating the interest Of
the candidates for citizenship in the
citizenship classes conducted in the
public schools throughout the United

ranged by the public schools, Cham
