Editorial Comment
on Current Subjects
AN IMPORTANT CONFERENCE

From the Wheeling IntelIisencer.
That the interminable natural gas
question, as it affects an adequate
supply of the fuel to the home con-
sumers. is on the verge OF either a
settlement or fight. is indicated by
the conference that has been arranged
between the exploiters OF one OF the
greatest of West virg1nta's resources
and representatives OF the recently
formed association OF gas consumers
OF the State. at Clsrks5urg. tomorrow.
The moral feature OF this controversy,
that a State as well as an individual
has the right to say what disposition
shall be made OF their possessions
will, OF course. have no weight with
the corporate interests that control
the distribution OF this natural f0el.
The only impression that will work
a relief fthe existing fntolerable con-
ditfons will be q showing OF the legal
authority vested in the State to force
the greedy corporations to furnish an
adequate supply OF gas to West Viz
GINA consumers before foreign wants
are supplied. 1t is the general BELIEF
that the State has such power.
Inc fd1EmouG west FHBIo4aH' ~
this connection, drops word Of eau
ton however. that it may be well for
those who participate in the ClarlSs.
burg conference to keep IL mind. "If
the outside interests. and there are
many OF them" it says, believe the
West Virginia position will hold in
law, and that the movement will make
it necessary for the great gas compae
MES to give west Virginia an adequate
amount OF gas. no matter how greatly
the supply available for other consume
ers is depleted thereby, they will not
wait to fight losing legal battle. but
will seek by every device and strate-
gem at their command to divert the
West Virginia movement into other
channels. They viii propose COM
promises that are not honest and
they will seek by various methods to
lessen the zeal OF the leaders" Know
ing the character OF the fights that
have been put up before by the gas
corporations to evade a recognition OF
the principle involved in the contro-
versy, It would indeed be the part Of
wisdom to exercise extreme care IN
accepting any temporizing PROPOSE
tons they may offer.

A MEDITATION

dedicated to the students of the
Ruby High School in grateful rec
ognition of the pleasant hours
spent there together.)
I'm writing these lines, dear student
of mine,
10 try to engrave
On your tender heart
A token of strength
AS a living start
For love you well, o student of
mine.
In the years to come, young student
of mine,
You'll pass near shadows
Of shame and crime;
You'll be tempted and ured
Full many Il time;
It's the test of worth. dear student
of mine.
And if you should sink to the depths
of hell,
Or there in disgrace
Fill felon's cell;
Or be shot as traitor
At sunrise bell,
Ed love you the same, o student of
mine.
If you rise to the heights of power
and fame
I'll laugh in the thot
You were taught by me,
And my soul will ring
With melody
OF teachers love, dear student of
mine.
But in veal or woe, O student of
of mine,
I'm always your friend
And Pm always glad
To share your burdens
And sorrows sad
It's part Of my life, dear student Of
mine.
SO Pm praying to God, O student Of
mine,
TO guide you safely
Through trcachcrous ways,
To steady your hand,
To tighten your days
| And to make you worthy, brave stu
dent of mine.
