How are the mighty fallen!

WHILE the men who are carrying
the great burden Of the war upon their
shoulders are doing their best for their
country, and while Americans of high
nd low degree are backing them up in
their efforts to win the war, former
President Roosevelt continues to act
the part Of a common scold, and scarce
ly day passes that he doesn't give
utterance to some criticism that indi-
Gates the crouch he carries. EX-
President Taft, on the contrary, is do
ing his bit ably and cheerfully, and
while Colonel Roosevelt is finding fault
with everything and everybody, Mr.
Taft is going about the country helping
TO sell Liberty bonds and backing up
our country tc Re limit. Fortunately,
Mr. Roosevelt has been scolding so
long and so freely that the people no
longer pay much attention to him, so he
is not doing much damage except to
himself.

Somewhere in Florida,

April Is, 1918.
Editor Register-My attention was
called some time ago TO an article IN
the Register, in which you chronicle
the peculiar conduct of the town run
trout, and it occurs 10 me that you need
the protection of a renewal card OF
membership in the PiScatorlal Prevarl-
Gators. You certainly realize the Sc
rious penalty such stories incur when
you are not in good standing IN this
noble order. You are now handicapped
both from stress of weather and being
without the charmed circle, and by the
time the bass begin to bite ii is difficult
to determine where you may be led.
From the tender recollectionS OF an old
orotherly affection and sympathy for
your present predicament, common
humanity impelS me TO tender you here
with an up-to-date card in the +. rs.
Fraternally,
c. H. MOFFETT, @. S. & T.
P. ST. am also enclosing another
card with membership name left blank.
If you know positively of any man
equal to or even approaching you in fish
lying proficiency, present this to him
with my compliments. c. H. M.
1t is plain to be seen what the trouble
is with Old Man Moffett-he's jealous.
He left Shepherdstown to 60 to Trout
Vile, Va, because he thought from its
name that he could just sit around and
catch all sorts of trout whenever he
wanted to, but as a matter OF fact
there's hardly water enough in the
stream there to do days washing, and
of course no trout, so he's awfully dis
appointed. 1t makes him mad to think
Of the big trout that we can catch right
here in Shepherdstown, and he pre-
tends that our fish stories are doubtful.
He knows that they are true-just as
true as our snake StorieS-and We can
prove it by good authority. Still, we
are Glad to renew our membership in
the society of which Mr. Moffett is the
able secretary, and if anyone wants to
Join by means of that extra card, we
will be glad TO recommend any worthy
prevaricator, like George VanMetre.

1T will be agreed that former Presi-
dent Taft is one of the gentlest and most
kind-hearted of men-forbearing and
agreeable, perhaps, TO fault. And yet
in a speech in Baltimore a few days
ago, in recounting the offenses of the
Germans against the United States and
all the world, he plainly gave IT as his
opinion that the Huns should be treated
as mad dogs and that their present state
of mind must be beaten out Of them as
mad dogs rabidness should be dubbed
out of it,
VIZ unite acree with him.

At Cumberland last Saturday Walter
Penner, a boy IA years old, was playing
along the Potomac river with some
other boys, when the leaky boat in
which they were rowing sank. The
others escaped, but though Walter
managed to cling to floating tree
trunk, the last seen of him was when
he was being carried down the rushing
stream frightened and helpless. His
father offers a reward of $50 for the
recovery of his body, as it is practically
certain that he was crowned.

1T is too bad that those two popular
moving picture stars, Mary Pickford
and Douglas Fairbanks, should have
developed a yellow streak right in the
height Of their success, for Mary's in
nocent, girlish sweetness will never
again be taken for its face value and
the smile of Doug will have lost its
honesty. Mary and Douglas have
loved each other not wisely but too well,
and Owen Moore, her husband, has
sued the handsome movie star for a
half million dollars damages for steal
ing his wife, while the wife Of Doug
las has had to reveal the unfaithfulness
of her recreant spouse. A great many
persons will genuinely regret that these
two popular idols have feet of clay-or
even commoner material.
How are the mighty fallen

We quite agree with him.

THE appointment of Charles Schwao,
the famous iron and steel manufactur-
er, to be at the head of the govern
ment's great ship building programme,
and Mr.. Schwab's acceptance Of the
trust, even if he has TO give up all other
business, is a source of great gratifca-
ton to the people of this country. Let
us not expect even of Mr.. Schwab,
however, the impossible, for he is only
human and can only do that which is
humanity possible. Too many OF US are
expecting miracles of the government
and of the men entrusted with our great
work in connection with the war.

THE Supreme Court Of the United
States on Monday last ordered re-
argument in the Virginia-West Virgin
ia debt proceedings. Chief Justice
White declared that there is no reason
why West Virginia should not pay the
judgment; and if no effort is made to
meet the obligation, the court reserved
the right TO appoint master to inves-
tigate West Virginia's financial situa-
ton and its taxable resources with
view TO enforcing the judgment.
With all due respect, we agree with
those who are of the opinion that West
Virginia should definitely refuse to pay
this unjust judgment until it is abso-
lutely forced to do so.

DEAN FINDS PLOT
His Investigation Brings NUM-
ton Factory to Government.
Says RatiOns Enough Overseas
for 8 Months Supply.

In an address by Col. J. S. Dean, of
New York, formerly of Topeka. made
this noon at the Chamber of Com
meree. Colonel Dean declared that a
had just been discovered to have been
in the control Of the German govern
ment. In Colonel Deans department,
which takes care of the work of p1ac-
ing valuations on property conman-
deered by the government for war
work, the Liberty factory of Bridge
port had been ordered to put out a
quota of shells. Delays in getting the
work done aroused the suspicious of
the department. and Colonel Dean was
asked to investigate. He wrote out an
opinion that the management OF the
factory was disloyal. A further in
vestigation confirmed his opinion, and
the factory is now a part of alien
property in the hands of the United
States.
Colonel Dean explained something
of the work of his department, by
which manufacturers are given gov
eminent orders for various articles
needed. such as uniforms. The prices
to be paid are determined by board
OF experts from industrial pursuits,
and all other work has to be laid aside
until the government orders are filled.
100000 Men Overseas.
I've have now in Europe" Colonel
Dean said. an army of more than two
and half million men, having trans
ported in one month more troops than
General Grant ever commanded. Our
men have a three months supply of
rations, SO that If our shipping should
all be sunk for the next three months,
the soldiers would still be fed. In
three months more we will have
enough food in France for a six
months supply. and by next July we
will have an army of four and a half
million men across. Even if our food
prices go high in this country, our
boys who are fighting our fight, shall
have the best there is to be had"
The speaker urged that TO talk Of
peace be made until the terms agreed
upon by the allied leaders were fully
accepted by the>enemy. mo represent
tative of the German government as it
exists today could have any place at a.
council table that shall fix the destin-
les of the world. The German knows
our terms; no particular council ia
Bile is needed. When the Hun comes
to the terms, all he has to do is to
lay down his arms"
Colonel Dean has been on q trip of
military business to Camp Funston,
and stopped in Topeka on his return
to the east. Before going into the gov
eminent service he was one Of the
prominent lawyers of Topeka.

AFRAID OF HUSBAND
Mrs Eleanor Riley Asks Divorce,
AlimOny and Injunction,

Naming another woman with whom
she charges her husband has had IL
legal relations on a great many occa-
sions during the last three months,
Mrs. Eleanor Riley, 1895 Quincy
street, today filed a petition in the Of
flee of the Shawnee county district
court asking u divorce from Harrison
W. Riley. She also charges her i1us-
band with extreme cruelty, alleging
that he has a violent temper and that
during his fits of anger over even triv-
ial matters, he curses her and calls
her insulting names.
Mrs. Riley states that she is afraid
her husband will de her personal in
jury and asks that the court issue a
restraining order preventing him from
coming on her premises or withdraw
ing some money which he has in the
bank. He is a skilful window trim
mer working at one of the large de-
partment stores, she says, and makes
$35 week. She wants temporary ali
mony while the suit is pending and at
the final hearing asks a divorce, per-
manent alimony, the ownership of the
household goods and personal effects,
together with the control and custody
of her two small children. The Ri1eys
were married at st. Louis in July,
1906

he continued, land altho l was forever
taking some kind of medicine nothing
did me any good till I began using
Tanlac. 1 didn't have a bit of APP
petite and the little 1 forced down
soured and bloated me up with gas till
1 felt as tight as a drum. My side
panied me like a knife sticking in me
and I got SO little nourishment from
my food that 1 lost over nine pounds
in weight. My nerves were all on edge
SO that the least little noise would
startle me and make me jump, and
would have such awful trembling
spells that would shake all over like
a leaf, then 1 would get so weak and
dizzy that could hardly stand. After
going to bed i would roll and toss for
hours before 1 could doZe off and then
I would get up in the morning feeling
half dead, and with a dull, mean head
ache and would feel tired and worn
out all day long. Really, had no life
nor energy about me and felt so mis-
cradle at times that I could hardly
drag myself off to my work.
81 am now on my third bottle of
Tanlac and am in better condition
than have been in the last ten years
My appetite is just splendid, I eat
heartily every day of whatever 1 want
and enjoy every bite. My stomach
never gives me the least bit of trouble
and I haven't a trace of indigestion
left. MY nerves are quieter, 1 am new
er troubled with those weak. dizzy
spells and I don't know what a head
ache is. After a good nights restful
sleep I get up in the morning greatly
refreshed feeling fit and trim for my
work. Tanlac has done me so much
good that I will gladly tell anyone
who wants to call up Main s31 Home

RECOGNIZE JUGO-SLAVS
Formal Recognition Is Considered
Favorably by United States.

Washington, Sept. 27.-Formal
recognition of the Jugo-Slavs by this
government was asked of the state de-
partment today.
That President Wilson and Secre-
tary of State Lansing will consider
the appeal worthy of favorable action
Is generally believed, especially as it
would be another step toward dis
membering Austria.
In making the request the Jugo-
Slavs submitted an official memoran-
ing the Jugo-Slavs as was done with
the C2eeho- Slavs.
The Jugo-Slav leaders are agreed upon
untf1catfon of the Austrian Slavs, the Serbs
and Montenegrins in one democratic state.
complete harmony has been maintained
from the beginning with Serbia, the memo
randum to the state department points out.
The basic principles of the contemplated
southern Slay state are noted as full
equality of the territory balances which are
to form the new. state, full equality of re-
ligions, no coercion but absolutely free de-
termination of the nation with regard to all
questions of the future state Iife."N
Jugo-Slav troops have fought on the side
Of the allies in Macedonia. Italy and Rus
STA, according to a memorandum. These
have been recruited from troops which sur
rendered or were captured by the allies.
They had been conscripted by Austria.
under its own flag in Macedonia. Others
are fighting with the Serbians. A Jugo-
Slav army of 10000 is being organized in
Italy and will soon be in action against

from Russia, fought their way northward
