THREE YEARS OF WAR?

This is what Col House says: Mr.
Wilson is firm in his determination 10
win this war. He has three years TO do
it in" The Colonel is quoted as emit
ting this statement in his biography,
which is now being Syndicated in many
newspapers.
The country will hope, however, that
it is not the Presidents intention 10
use the entire three years which re-
main OF his present term Of office in
the winning Of the war. The country
hopes that the war may be won with
in a less time than three years from
now. But the country will hope
against hope if the winning Of the war
is 10 be procured through the same
sort of tactics which prevailed in thu
three years prior 10 our entering The
war. or if the same sort Of tactics
which have prevailed in the year that
we have been al actual warfare arc 10
continue in force in all respects.

Of profteering. as has already been
done. Our cotton and wooden manu-
facturers are also more or less in the
air, in view of the prospects OF the
government regulating the prices Of
finished goods, and the supplies OF
wool
DisintereSted judges. even govern
mental officials themselves, recognize
that prices are best regulated automat-
ically by the law OF supply and de.
mand: yet under conditions created by
the war there i apparently no other

THE INTERVENING CONTEST

While the intent and impulse OF the
=urssstion that the coming Congress
.siona1 elections in this State be con-
.dpcted with an understanding between
the two dominant parties that no op-
posing candidates be named to those
holding Office, is inspired by the worth
lest motives. The Intelligencer doesn't
see what is to be gained by such pro-
cedure. It is entirely in sympathy
with the motive which looks to the
abatement of distracting partisan &C
1ivity at this critical period in the ma
tion's life, but the necessity of a cam
naien for the United States Senator
ship intervenes TO nullify the proposed
ouietnde of the non-partisan Congress
,sional elections.
The Senatorial contest invests the
situation with conditions that do not
Obtain in the Congressional problem.
If the present incumbent OF the Scna-
torship was standing fer reelection
and he was satisfactory 10 the people,
the non-partisan suggestion might be-
come workable proposition But such
is not the case. The incumbent re-
fuses 10 become candidate for re-
election, and therefore contest for
his seat becomes unavoidable. But II
is no, TO be inferred from this state
ment that The lntelligencer antici'
mates a rancorous or bitter partisan
fight. On the contrary it believes II
will be conducted with a minimum OF
party octiyity on both sides. but the
contest will result in drawing OF
strict party lines Thus. with such an
election on for the SenatorShip. it Is
obvious that the mere absence OF con-
testing candidates for Congress would
be a useless concession.
The Intellisencer believes that the
good sense of the West Virginia cleo
"torate can be trusted with an apprecl
"ation of their duty on this occasion
and that judgments will be s~ayed
with the proper moderation. Anyhow
the elections this year will not Absorb
the interest Of the people as they have
been accustomed to do. Those Con
gressmen who have served we'll will
stand just as much chance of being I'M
disturbed in a contest election as un
der the non-partisan suggestion. Those
that have not met the expectations OF
the people will probably be succeeded
BY others as choice of The majority
and without any undue eruption o.
partisan. politics
