AN unfortunate bit of news comes
from France this acknowledgements

President Roosevelt, has lost his life in
battle. He was in the aviation service,
and while flying above the German
lines was attacked by three enemy air
planes and shot, falling TO his death in

ing and courageous young man, and
his untimely death will be generally de-
plored.

WE call attention to the formal an
Houncement elsewhere in this paper OF
the card of Hon. B. H. Hiner, of Pen
dleton county, who seeks the Democrat
ic nomination for Congress in this dis
trict. Although he has opposition in
the person of R. E. L. Allen, of Morgan
town, we have no doubt that Mr.. Hiner
will carry Jefferson county, for ne has
always been popular in this section and
has many friends here who very earn
estly desire that he may be nominated
and elected.

THE administration has served no.
tice on the brewers that they will be
restricted in the use of coal by about
fifty per cent. Why allow them to
waste any coal at all in their wretched
business, when every ton that can be
produced next winter will be needed
to keep the people from freezing?
FROM Indianapolis comes news
item of peculiar significance. A splen-
did new hotel was opened in that city
a few days ago and it has no place of
any sort where liquor will be dispensed,
absolutely no provision being made for
a bar or other dispensary. The owners
have quietly cut out drinks and will
conduct the hotel along hotel lines.

THE brewers and wine makers are
bowling loudly because, they say, the
prohibition measure now before Con-
gress will be literally confscating their
valuable property. We have precious
little sympathy with them. For these
many years they have been stealing
body, brains and soul of the young
men-and young women, too-of our
country, and have had no consideration
for those whom they have been robbing
If the brewers lose everything they
have there will still be a fearful &C
count against them.

Dollars are plentiful, more plentl-
full, perhaps, than ever before in
the history of the world; but, as is
always the case, The few have
too many, and the many have too
few"
With many of the every day
necessities of life, three dollars
scarcely buys what single dollar
bought several years ago; to you,
friends of the "tco few" class, isn't
it worth while to shop where the
same money will buy more and
better goods?

THERE are now more than 100000
American soldiers in France, according
to an official announcement by our
government. Last week 10000 men
were sent safely across the ocean, and
they were landed on the other side with
out one casualty. This is one of the
most remarkable achievements in the
history of the world, and there is moth
ing in the boosted German efficiency
that can compare to it. The American
government is resourceful and capable
beyond anything ever known and the
American soldiers, backed by this great
and efficient government, will prove in
vincible. The doom Of Germany is
sealed.

CONGRESS has decided to take a
holiday for a few weeks by recessing
for three days at time until the middle
of August. The prohibition amend
ment that is intended to be added to the
food stimulation bill will not be taken
up until August 10th, but there is every
hope that it will then be passed. A
test vote shows that there is a safe ma
jority in the Senate for it, and there is
little doubt that the House will endorse
il.
Let's make this country dry-and do
il soon. The liquor business has been
tolerated TOO long already.

DURING the past week the govern
ment has caused the arrest Of some
notable pro-Germans who thought that
they were clever enough to hide their
tracks or sufficiently influential to es-
cape trouble. Among those taken into
custody is DR.. Edward Rumely, editor
OF the New York Mail, one Of the i'm
portant papers of the United States.
II is stated that this newspaper was pur-
chased with German money, and proper
steps will be taken to prevent it from
doing any more harm.
The people sometimes get impatient
with the administration for not moving
more swiftly to remedy certain condi-
tionS, but il must be admitted that af-
ter all Uncle Sam is taking pretty good
care of himself and is daily demon
strating that it is extremely unwise to
take any liberties with him.
THE President has vetoed the. bill
passed by Congress to increase the
price of wheat to S2.4O a bushel for
the very good reason that it would
raise the price of flour about two dol
lars a barrel and add some 1887 ,0OO,-
600 to the bread bill of the people for
the next year. There are very few who
deny that the present price of wheat is
very good one and gives fair COM
pensation to the farmers, though
naturally they would not be averse to
a higher rate. The prices of coal and
steel and lumber and many other com-
modltles have been fixed by the admin
istratlon, and il is no slap at the farmers
to control also this item Of their pro-
duction. The matter is now so ar
ranged as to protect them from loss,
while at the same time the public is
taken care of by preventing an ex-
orbitant charge for bread. The bill
was persistently fought in Congress,
and was passed only because Of the
influence OF certain small minded politi-
clans who want to pose we'll before their
agricultural constituents.

British Statement

British headquarters in France and
Belgium. Oct. 23.--We are steadily
linking up bridgeneads and footholds
esta olished along the west bank Of
the ScheIdt. This mornings fighting
extended our front on
this waterway, which is mainly inter-
esting because it had been suggested
as a possible line of a German re-
treat. Today's battle was difficult to
follow, for, beginning along con-
nected front. it disiptegrated into a
series of local struggles. Much Of the
ground is intersected by perfect
network Of little waterways rendering
it marshy and difficult for the troops
TO advance against a deliberate de-
fence; while between lie Cateau and
Solesmes, we are approaching thick
forest. Obviously under such condi-
tions news from the 30-mile front
must be scrappy and disconnected.
We are drawing into long range ar
tillery reach of both Mems and Maui
beege, vital points Of the German
communications. and 1t seems not I'M
duly optimistic to predict that the
British troops soon will be beyond
any line Of French soil they have yet
trodden durinx the present war.
