UNNECESSARY DEMANDS

Governor Cornwell in his excellent
address to the West Virginia Publish
ers' Association. in session ~ Parkers-
bugr. paid very graceful tribute 10
the loyalty Of the press Of this State
in support of the administration war
preparations and the great services
rendered the government in its tinan-
cial campaigns. He was quite urgent
in his plea for absention from all criti-
ciSm that sought to pull down or OBJ
Struct the war operations Of the gov
eminent. but the great trouble with
the administration is that il makes no
distinction. and stamps all differences
of opinion with its policies as partisan.
The obstinate inSiStence of the PreSl-
dent in exacting extraordinary powers
from Congress is move not warrant
ed by any eXigenCy. and calls for an
abdication Of the powers
OF Congress. Help was offered the
President BY Congress, which has been
spurned. He wants il his way, or not
at all.
The attitude of MI Wilson more and
more impreSses the people that he
considers this war his war and wants
no interference with his methods Of
conducting it. 1t cannot be considered
criticism in this situa-
ton to point out that Mr.. Wilson's
greatest need is not more power but
the aid OF men Of ability and force in
using more efficiently the authority he
already has TO do things. The people
realize the heavy task that is upon
him, but at the same time dcplOre his
TO call the men OF ability
to counsel with him, men strong
enough to share the war burdens with
him. and make more effective prose
cutiOn of the war Faults and weak
nesses that could not be concealed
from them have given rise to the APP
prehenSionS that yet more serious in
adeuuacics would be disclosed as the
labor of war preparation Srows hear-
ier. He rebuffs all these perfectly sin

FIXING THE BLAME

Senator Reed generally is not 10 be
approved Of. bur it seems that IN his
reflections on the confusion incident
to the rulings OF the Fuel Administra.
ton are to the point. Or. Garfield may
have excellent qualifications as a pro-
lessor, but there can BE- no question
that he was sadly disqualified for such
a practical job as strengthening out the
coal problem Senator Reed places
the responsibility for the coal shortage
on the Fuel Administrator in state
ment he has submitted 70 the Senate
committee investigating the fuel Situa-
ton. In this ne maintains that the
chaos now existing in the coal business
must give place 10 stability or We will
in the near future be confronted By a
coal shortage Of the most disastrous
character. The beginning Of the whole
muss was located in the incident OF
the reversal OF the Lane committees
prices by the Fuel Administration. a
mistake that was finally admitted By
DR.. Garfield. Senator Reeds remedy
for the confusion that now exists is an

MUST HAVE THE BRAND

In discussing Democratic politics as
affected by the reorganization OF the
Republican National Committee. the
Washington Post digrcSSes TO remark
tha, "PreSiuent Wilson has talked
much. and to good purpose. OF laying
aside factionaliSm in this crisis, but he
continues 10 appoint Democrats to Of

Not only that, but he continues to
appoint OF his own school Of thought.
For instance. he has only just now

Red Cross Notes

Many Young girls are asking what
they can do for the soldiers across
the sea. The answer is. Home Ser-
vice. Only training and experience
can tit women FOR foreign service. No
woman under % years OF age will be
sent abroad by the Red Cross and
these shall be only women whose ed
ucation has fitted them for special
service. Young girls who have broth
ers at the front are not permitted ~
go to France. They may do their bit"
in their own homes bv attending
classes in Home Nursing and First
Aid, helping in the prcpa ration of
surgical dressings and the making Of
garments for the hospitals
In Oklahoma the school boys and
girls have entered into q novel ven
ture. Through a series of fairs, a pig
has been bought for each school. TIE
boys have built pens and cared spr
the pigs through the winter Scraps
of lunches, adds and ends of gram
are transforming The little pigs into
fine porkers. Eventually they viii
bring 4 good price, and the money
made up by the school children into
hospital and refugee garments. The
pigs are at the same time serving he
food administration and the Rel
Cross.
The enrolment Of the Junior Red
Cross already approaches the five mil
lion mark.
Everybody should read The May
number Of the Fed Cross magazine.
Francis +. Bellamys article 'Spend-
ing The First Hundred Million" tells
YOU how every cent Of your dollars
