SOME DEMOCRATIC
PERTURBATION

In another column Of The lntelli-
gencer, to-day, appears very interest
ing political letter, taken from the
Fairmont West Vrginian. and purport-
ing to describe peculiar Developments
in the election in Ohio county. A
great many Democratic pardsans have
been bothered to determine to their
own satisfaction why Mr.. Nicely re-
;ceiyed such good vote In Ohio
county, while Mr. Watson, who fur
nished most OF the means for the con-
duct Of the Democratic campaign,
Jared so poorly. A number OF things.
OF course, contributed to this result
but some of Col. Watson's friends have
reason. to believe that large amount
OF quiet dealing went on In which Nr.
Watson's interests were not very care
fully considered. In fact the proof Is
abundant. However. this is matter
in which our Democratic brethren
have the greatest interest. Event
ually, no doubt, Col. Watson and. his
friends will learn exactly what did
happen to them in Ohio county.

RAILROADS UNDER M'ADOO

Nine months operation Of the rail-
roads by Director McAdoo has cost the
United States government about two
hundred million dollars. This is In
spite Of the increase Of freight rates
from so to Is per cent, and passenger
rates in almost equai proportion, A
great part OF the increased expense
was due to radical increases in the
wages of all men employed. The wage
increase may have been justified by
conditions, and increased cost to the
public OF all railway transportation
may have been unavoidable, but the
close connection between the wage
increase and the increased charges
transferred to the general public may
easily be seen. High wages neces-
sarily make high manufacturing and
transportation costs, and in the long
nun these costs will be passed on to
the consumers. Heavier transporta-
ton costs add to the high cost OF liv-
ing in every home Of america The
charges apply to practically ever
article that we eat, wear. and use in
our houses or in our places Of busf
ness.
Government operation. under Mr..
McAdoo's direction, has had the ad-
vantage Of doing great many things
which the government has hitherto
prevented the railroads from doing for
themselves. The equipments Of CON-
peting lines have been pooled; rival
offices have been closed. treights have
been diverted to run over one road
and passenger trains to run over an
other. While these things make for
economy OF operation. at the same
time they remove tho stimulus for new

GERMAN FLEET GIVEN UP

The greatest naval surrender OF all
history will occur to-day. The Ger
man feet will be formally turned over
to the British and American represen-
tatlyes, and Germany as naval power
will pass from the face OF the waters.
There is mystery about the perform
es Of the German feet in the war
which will probably not be solved IN
til access is given TO the records Of
the German naval organization. The
whole world expected at least one
desperate effort on the part Of Ger
many to destroy British naval supre-
macy The battle Of Jutland was not
80 one-sided that the Germ1ns might
not have been encouraged to Try their
strength again.
What kept the German feet bottled
up in the Kiel Canal: what prevented
a final sally and 4 final trial OF
strength with the British? are ques-
tons that still puzzle naval authori-
ties, as vel as civilians. In her fleet.
Germany had one last gamblers
chance for victory. Could she have
marshalled her forces ana beaten the
British high seas fleet, the very key
stone Of the Allied arch would have
been shattered. The German naval
authorities knew this as we'll az any
one else, yet they let the opportunity
pass by, and the great fleet which Ger
many has been industrially creating
for over a quarter of century is to
be surrendered finally, without firing
q shot, even in self defense.
Little the War Lords Of Germany
knew for whom and for what they
were building when they taxed Ger
man labor and ground German work
ingmen into the dust in order to rival
Great Britain's ambitious naval pro
gram, and to threaten Great Britain's
naval supremacy.

FARM BUREAUS
TACKLE GREAT

CLARkSBCRG. W. Va. Nov. c0.-one

Committees. administrative workers
and specialists Of the agricultural OK

others interested in the agricultural
development and policies of West VAR
giria during the coming reconstruction
period.
The day was given over to careful
working out Of plans and policies rcla-

ally In the program Of food production
for the coming year. With the sudden
close Of the world war new conditions
are facing the farmers Of tho state anu
II is through their farm bureau or
/ CARNATIONS already established that
they can plan as a unit TO meet the de-
monds of food production now beng
made upon them.
Many Of the states most progressive

efficient and permanent system Of farm
ing These clubs of 4 county join to-
Eether and form n county farm bureau

various organizations and aiding them
in many ways is the agricultural en-
tension department Of West virginia
university. one Of the duties or which
: as delegated by state and national au'
! thuri;y, is the fostering Of these organ
izations which are proving SO useful to
farmers Of West Virginia
In addition TO the organizations MADE
up Of farmers there are numerous oth-
ers of Il somewhat similar nature Tor

reaus together with the county agricui-
tural agents and homo demonstration
agents to visit every community
strengthening the organizations already
present and establishing others where
needed. In this way the farm people Of
the state will he ablc Ia meet the new
situations certain to arise with chang

, MANY problems Of vital Importance
came up for consideration at the con-
ference and it became increasingly evil

BREWING INVESTIGATION

While The Intelligencer has no SYM
pathy with the liquor cause, and Ger
tainly has had ample opportunity to
see the disgracetul exhibition which IN
restrained liquor power can make in a
community, it does not see why a SEN
sation should be made Of the activity
Of brewers and brewing interests in
trying to influence public opinion. We
have, apparently. grown a bunch OF
hypocrites in Washington. who take
their liquor in their tea cups. and pa
rads themselves as conseryators Of
public virtue, making the brewing in
terests their particular targets. We
know Of no law that prevents a brewer
from loanirg money to a newspaper,
or from owning newspaper, il he has
the money to buy one. and it is not
only the height OF absurdity, but It is
pitful evidence OF hypocricy in high
places that a committee Of the Con-
gress OF the United States should
waste it's time trying to trace out the
activities OF brewers in the defense Of
their own interests.
Public opinion is the controlling
factor in America. Public opinion will
decide whether or not the brewing of
beer will be allowed 10 continue. Pub,
lilo opinion viii either dictate the prac-
teal destruction OF many million dol,
lars worth Of property or its nainten.

is not only natural that the men who
are interested in the maintcnapce OF

What the war has meant to France
may be inferred from the announcement
that men OF the classes Of 1887, 1888
and 1889 are soon to be released from
actual service. In other words, the
5o-year-old soldiers who have been on
the fighting lines are to be given a
rest. The old men and boys OF France
have held the battle front for four
years. Is It any wonder that to the
battle-worn Poilus the young, eager
and vibrant army that America sent
to their aid, seemed only little less
than a gift from Heaven.
The Wheeling intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1903-1961, 1918-11-21

tho brewing business should endeavor
to have their side Of the case laid
before the public. 1t is entirely proper
and regular for them to DO SO. Any
that wishes to accept liquor
money is acting strictly within its
rights and any brewer or liquor dealer
who wishes either to advertise OF pre-
sent an argument in defense OF his
case incurs no just criticism.
We look forward to the time when
prohibition Will become. the national
law in the United States. We believe
the American people will be better for
complete abstinence Of alcoholic
drinks. There are many American
citizens who can drink liquors moder-
ately. enjoy them. and be none the
worse for them. There are many
others. who can't and don't do this.
The temperance people who do not
need prohibition can well afford to &C
cept prohibition for the benefits it is
pretty certain to bring TO those who do
need it.
But in the name Of all that is decent
and fair, let rs drop this crucifying Of
business interests, that seek only to
protect themselves in a fair and en-
tirely legal manner. II the prohibition
cause cannot be won by the presenta-
ton OF arguments and by the enlight-
ened judgment OF the American people,
it certainly will not be won through
Pecksnif1an hypocricy.
