SYMPTOMS OF A BORNIN,.

It has been discovered that potash, one of The
prime essentials of fertilizer and, hence, one Of
our vital necessafies, can be produced as by-
product in production Of Portland cement and
pig iron If all our cement factories and iron
furnaces were properly equipped, we would be
forever absolutely independent of German pot
ash. 1t is glorious proposition with most I'M
portant bearings But The Manufacturers Rec
ord finds difficulties in the way, of this fashion:
"A few days ago Secretary Lane, in a letter
to Congressman Kitchin, pointed out that one
cement plant which had expected to spend $500
600 on the establishment of a potash by-product
system had been unable to do so because the pro-
posed incone-tax bill would make the margin Of
safety too narrow to justify the investment Of
new capital. Mr. Lane very strongly urged that
in the creation of new industries of this kind
they should be free from heavy taxation on prof
its until their net profits enabled them to amor
tie their capital thus invested. The suggestion
IS certainly wise one.
1T can hardly be expected that new capital
will go into enterprises Of this kind, taking the
chances of the uncertainties Of after-war condi
tions unless there is some assurance that The
capital thu invested can be amortized before
heavy taxation is laid upon its earnings. or un-
less assurance can be given that industries
such, for instance, as that Of potash will after
The var be protected against the iaroads which
Germany would seek to make by breaking down
the market for American potash
In short, there are the well known signs Of the
birth Of another infant industry, an infant upon
whom the welfare of agricultural America may
largely depend but the child win not be deliv-
cred unless relieved of its just portion Of taxa.
tion or q stone wall against cheap foreign pot
ash IS raised. The public must be ready with
nursing bottle to foster, or private capital will
see to it that the little darling is still-born
However, it seems TO us that, in these war
times, the nation is learning that when private
appeal hes down and refuses to do necessary
thing, Uncle Sam can and should do it. Very
likely, Uncle viii be furnishing American farm
ers with cheap potash from his own factories
long before he viii return to the lod scheme of
granting to a few individuals cinches through
which they fatten on all the consumers.

WAR REVENUE AND pARrIsANsH1p.

In presenting the war revenue measure to the
House Mr.. Kitchin declared that in the prepare
ton of the measure by the ways and means he
had not met partisans, but only patriots This did
not convey, nor was it intended to convey, the
impression that there had been no controversy
in the committee; that deliberations had been
marked with Only unanimlty
The contrary was the case. Controversy HAD
been abundant. Some of it had been rather warm.
But at no time, nor as to any feature of the
problem, had party advantage been sought. No
member Of the committee, on either side of the
table, had made the slightest manifestation Of
partanship. At all times the real purpose had
been kept in mind-suppIying the government
with revenue for war purposes
1t is gratifying, though not at all surprising,
to note this same spirit among the members Of
the Senate finance committee. In the delibera-
tons of that body there is no suggestion u pa
tisanship There are differences Of opinion a.
10 this or that paragraph as to this or that rate
of the House measure, but no attempt at party
advantage coIors any Of them. The proper object
is kept constantly in view-reyenue for war pul-
poses
This spirit we shall probably see exhibited
when the Senate in open debate takes up the
committees report. There viii be 10 reason fol
partisanship then any more than now. Senator.
The World. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1912-1921, 1918-10-19

may differ as to paragraphs and rates, bat not
with party ends in mind.
Everybody appreciates the fact that ma
tional campaign, conducted on partisan lines with
partisan objects in view is in progress, and that
election day is less than three weeks away. It
might show more spirit. There is complaint. in
deed, Of lack Of spirit But it is none other than
partisan campaign. Both Democrats and Re-
publicans are seeking control of the next Con-
gress by conventional partisan methods.
But this revenue measure cannot be used by
either side in its activities 1t is entirely outside
OF them, and could not legitimately or success
fully be introduced. The side openly and ag-
gressively attempting such thing would not
only fail, but incur deep and wide censure. Such
a maneuver would be so unwise and Legitimate,
1t would cover its authors with complete eonfu-
Standardization Evening Star.

TODAY YOUR LAST OPPORTUNITY.

Tonight at midnight sees the close Of the
Fourth Liberty Loan campaign, a campaign that
In many ways has been the most dscouragin9
ever conducted by this government for the pur.
pose Of raising funds with which to finance the
war
Two factors have been big obstacles to a
speedy and successful campaign-the latest Ger
man peace drive and the influenza epidemic
and it is a question which of the two has been
the greater handicap. The former has proven
to be lacking in the proper sincerity ard gooa
faith necessary to carry It through and the lat
ter seems now to be under control
We have before US but a few hours in which
to do our part toward making the Fourth Lib
erty Loan certain of success. Undoubtedly many
of Us have put off the final decision from day
to day, telling ourselves that we viii subscribe
before the end of the campaign and never quite
getting to the moment of decision
Why put off the matter q moment longer? II
a few short hours another Liberty Loan viii
have become history and if you have nothing to
show as tangible evidence that you had a part
in Putting it you will surely regret it. Per
chance you are one of many who have not yet
subscribed to any one Of the four loans floated
by our government Whether you are, or aren't.
it is up to you to strain every possible resource
to take just as many of the bonds as your credit
will permit.
So many persons get the idea in their heads
that they cannot buy bonds unless they have
enough ready money to pay cash for them. They
do not stop to think that the banks right in this
town are glad to lend money to any honest per-
son for the purpose of buying bonds.
Go to one of the banks tonight and buy as many
bonds as you can possibly pay for during the
coming year. Look at it both in the light of d
patriotic duty and profitable investment From
the moment you own a bond you will feel heap
more self-respect for yourself

MOBILIZE THE NURSES.

The prevailing epidemic Of Spanish influenza,
which has reached the proportions of a national
menace, demands the complete mobilization of
all trained nurses in America.
The great majority of graduate nurses have
already enlisted with the Army Nurse Corps and
the Red Cross units for service abroad. but there
are still great number Of trained women for nurs-
ing who are retired from the active practice of
their profession or who are engaged in the pri-
Vate care Of invalids, or the children of wealthy
families
1t is these last who should be Immediately
modified to fight the flu epidemic in army train
ing camps and in war industries whose efficien-
ey is endangered by disease. Scores Of trained
nurses are now paid high price to care for
seni-nValids, who suffer from selfish magma
ton more than from illness, and for normally
healthy children who would be better for a little
real maternal care. These trained nurses, I'M
der modern hospital conditions could care for
from Is to 20 flu patients each and save dozens
pf lives which might be lost through lack of
proper care.
The government should call upon all hospitals
and nurse training schools for an immediate cen
sus Of graduates. Those not in actual war service
IN France, IN hospitals here, or engaged in the
care Of patients seriously i'll, should be. summon
ed to appear before army medical corps officials
and show cause why they should claim exemp-
ion from service in army camps where disease
is epidemic.
No civilian has the right to monopoIize the
life saving power Of a nurse in time Of national
need, and no nurse of high patriotic and profess
sional principles viii permit selfish interest to
stand in the way Of essential service to the ma
ton
Mobilize the trained nurses. The Ives Of Amer
lcan soldiers arc at stake.

WASHINGTON, Oct. Bipartisan
political activity has been very com
mendably adjourned by both parties
in West Virginia during the progress
of the Fourth Liberty Loan-except-
ing always, OF course, the Wheeling
Intelligencer. That unhappy journal,
a prey to its own prejudices, seems
poWerless to check its editorial ejac-
ulatiop Of gangrene even in the crit
ical hour OF the war and OF the Fourth

The people are not at all interest
ed in partisans diatribes or controver-
sizes; hence, the article of the serious
minded and nameless press agent has
probably been read in the state about
as widely as Homer's Had or Oar
wins Descent of Man. However, in or
der to keep the record clear and to
preserve at least a mOdicum of hon
esty in dealing with the public, either
the Intelligencer or its undesignated
correspondent ought to clarity the
situation by answering these ques-
tions:-
a. Who was responsible for the
'biank" cartridge. circulated by thou
sands over West Virginia, containing
the name of Davis Blllins and the in
scription: Hes fighting for us, let's
fight for him?f AS Watson, who was a

~ In what war and where has
young Elkins done any lighting? Was
it in the Spanish war, and if SO, in
what battle?
81 IN what department Of the Unit

that he is commissioned in the Adju-

 Style in glasses change as in many other things. What do you think of a 1910 model automobile? A 1910 model pair of glasses are just as much out of style. Keep your old glasses for emergency and get fitted up with pair of late model glasses. We can fit you correctly in the new style Shell Rim Glasses.
