DON'T WEAKEN

lis the coward who quits to mis-
fortune;
lis the knave who changes each
day;
lis the fool who wins half the battle,
Then throws all his chances away.
There is little in life but labor,
And tomorrow can be but a dream
Success is the bride Of Endeavor,
And Luck just a meteor's CLEAN.
The time TO succeed is when others,
Discouraged, show traces of tire.
The battle is fought in the home
stretch.

PRICES POTENT PLEA

The Hon. Andrew Price. OF Marlin
Ton. is not only = fine type Of the Ole
cushioned Democrat. but he is L OF
she most refreshing examples Of the
wholesome spirit Of West Virginia cit
izenship. He is also something OF a
Wit, and often under the gentle hunaor
he radiatcs at times there lies the pun
gency OF truth. In a recent communl-
cation 10 the New York World. he
writes 10 convey a message OF warn
ing to the members Of his guild IN
other States where prohibition is agi-
tated. that its adoption necessarily en-
tails a greatly decreased volume OF law
business. Mr.. Price does not raise his
voice against prohibition. rs he worked
and voted for prohibition in this State,
and declares he would do so again.
But hear what he has TO say about de-
c-eascd law business. His message is
rich in suggestion:
II do not have in mind the business
~ defending criminals, for that does
NOT amount tn rnuch under any circun-
stances. What / have observed and eX-
n~ericnced is that when d STATE goes dry
civil cases growing out of such things
rs defective Judgment or premature ana
~ir.uulsiye acts grow sCaTccr. Lawyers
are not required in such great NUMBERS
20 help people in troubles arising from
failures. foreclosures. deceit. fraud. mis-
take. marital relations. mutual misun-
outstanding of contracts and undertake
inCs. defalcatious. d~.fraud!uE trustees.
r~crlrc. ard the like. OF course l can
not give the cNtca amount ot dcprecla-
ton. but il is safe to say that It Is close
to 50 per cent.
What do YOU suppose our Merry
Andrew" is driving at? Certainly he
is not knocking prohibition, for his
statement Of facts and personal e1pe-
rience all 90 to s~ubStantiate the ma
te-ial as we'll as the social virtues or
~prohibitory conditions. What a sly
way he has of getting his Joker" in.
In concluding his communication TO
he World, he plaintively remarks that
it does seem that the lawyer ought
10 be i~ndeulnifed when a State goes
dry" There is evidently deep peace
in Andrews soul and the Attic salt
OF his Wit is still fresh and fragrant

DOMESTIC PET DANGERS

Some love the dog and others the
cat, but it seems the time has come
when these household pets must be
eliminated from our affections. The
Public Health Service has sounded
the warning. The report Of one OF the
staff of the Surgeon Generals office on
an epidemic OF virulent smallpox IN
one Of the States sets forth with re-
newed emphasis the role that domes-
tic pets nay play in the transmission
Of disease. especially among children.
The instance cited vas that Of a IA
tai case Of smallpox in an infant IN
arms. The nearest base of the dis
ease was in a house a block or so dis
tant, and although the W. families
had no social relations. this apparently
did not deter Il dog belonging TO the
infected family from dividing his at
tention impartially between the two
houses, eating at q place and sleep
ing at the other. In 10 other way
could the source OF the infection Of the
baby be explained than that the dog
foadled by the children 81 the small
pax fonily carried the virus OF the dis
ease to the neighbours baby. Similar
ipsr:Lces have been noted before in
connection with smallpox trGrsmis-
sion. The same household lets also
hay.. been charged in certain DISTANCES
with the responsibility Of carrying the
infection OF diphtheria. scarlet fever
and other communicable diseases OF
children, as well as various intestinal
parasites.
A disease that annually causes more
than 100 deaths ir this country IS "a
bies, and the role Of domestic animals
in spreading this disease Is definitely
proven. speculation or c;rcum :taHtial
evidence being discarded. AltoE"tncr.
therefore. it is perfectly efid"nt that
the citizen who keeps douiessic pets
maintains at the same time 4 F"-Y po-
t"n1ial source OF danger: a sdn!tatY
menace to his own household ard 10

AN ENVIABLE RECORD

- The In~telllgenccr heretofore has mad
--occasion to refer TO the good work Of
the Prosecuting Attorneys Office un-
der the direction OF Prosecutor D. A.
Mckee, and it now calls attention to
5his activities in the past two years ID
1.-The Criminal Court Us Il record OF rare
Accomplishment il that office which
could only have been secured through
"a conscientious devotion TO duty and a
s.high conception OF his obligations TO
sathe public.
= During the period rei5rred to Prose
.scu,or Mckee has been called on to
handle and prepare more cases Of cap
<itai crime than has formerly fallen TO
the lot Of any occupant Of the office.
In all OF these cases justice has been
satisfied by convictions, which unior-
Atunately las not been the rule in the
past history OF important murder trials
in this county. M. Mckee's conduct Of
these trials has shown an industry and
Concentration in preparation that has
t.conmanded the commentator Of the
fellowship OF the Ohio county bar as
well as the appreciation Of the order
loving public.
q" The reference 10 the large number
.td convictions secured by the Prose
cutor is not made il a spirit Of juoila'
stion over the fate or the malefactors.
