CLOSING THE WoRKHoUSE

The fact that the Wheeling work
house has lost so many Of its oldtime
occupants, both transient and regular,
that it is proposed to close this institu-
ton down Is not without considerable
significance. Most people IN Wheeling
cannot remember the time when we did
not have a workhouse which was not
more or less generously patronized. The
vorkhouse has been a constant charge
upon the public, and the workhouse gang
has been regarded as an inevitable, II
not necessary evil.
Now the workhouse, as an institution,
seems about to pass away and this happy
event comes within less than month
after the closing Of the dispensaries Of
alcoholic drinks that have hourished 80
brazenly in the towns across the river
during the past two or three years
Practically for the frst time Wheeling
is having an experience Of actual pro-
hibition. not absolute. Of course, but
prohibition effective to a very large de-
gree. 1t is certainly more than COIN
cidence that one Of the nrst results of
the genuine dry spell is a reduction In
the number Of lawbreakers and IN the
number Of per-ons who, for one reason
or another. are sent to a temporary
house Of detention
From the somewhat limited experience
with real prohibition that We have had
in this community The Intelligencer be-
lieves that it can safely say that the
prohibitory law has justified itself. that
the limited restrictions which 1t has i'm
posed arc more than made good by the
substantial benefits which IT brings

REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES

The Los Angeles Express has just
Republican governors. editors, national
committeeman and state chairmen
throughout the whole country. which
was taken to ascertain their presiden-
tial preferences. The canvass discrcdits.
so far as 1t goes, some theories concern
ing the relative strength OF various in
div,duals. One hundred and elghty-twO
votes were cast. General Leonard Wood
Is nrst choice Of the voters by very
large majority. W. H. Taft. Of Ohio. is
second choice: Charles +. Hughes. Of
New York. third: Frank I.owden. Of Ill!
nois, fourth: ". G. Harding. Of Ohio.
NTH. and Hiram Johnson. Of California,
sixth.
The great strength shown by General
Wood ia not more surprising. perhaps.
than the remarkable development of SEN
timent favorable to ex-President Taft.
This sentiment comes from all over the
country and indicates that. personally.
Mr.. Taft Is, perhaps, more popular, to-
day than ever before The Johnson SER
tirnent, which might naturally be ex-
pected to be strong in the west. is not
in evidence to the extent that Johnson
boomers apparently have taken for
granted. 1t is, Of course. too early to
expect definite expressions Of sentiment
indicating the thought OF the great num-
be- of voters The strong candidates OF
today may not be even heard Of year
from now. The diversity Of opinion
among those who may be considered
leaders Of Republican thught indicate a
large field Of Republican aspirants ani
An abundance Of material to select from.

THE LEAGUE AND TERRI
HoRIAI, OBLIGATIONS

IN an address at Bedford. Pa on
&eaGazv Ex-senator Beveridse' OF In
lszma. made the declaration that the
kesvxnanz q tho League Of Nations un-
kaspvsuAs for an ttrne the present terri
hNug4aa nzn3eatiuns Of every nation OF
EasruoA md their colonial possessions
IN Asia and Africa Tho Senator IN
&sry Language, drew tho conclusion that
aAe UHsesd States. By membership IN the
3saSue, vas committed TO use military
&nrca 70 maintain the existing situation
far IA INDEFINITE period IN other words.
10 saya etat We are to become the spon-
-syx for the territorial limitations Of
largo number Of Jealous peoples with
eouA1etjnx ambitions and conflicting ter
xitorial claims.
In plain and unvarnishsd English. Mr..
Heveridge's lurid picture was gross
aAsurdity. The covenant OF the League
az Nations pledges the United States. as
81 does every other signer. to respect
the territorial rights Of all other nations
what less could it do?
what less could any agreement do?
when men. as individuals. submit
themselves to law they agree to respect
the property, the land and the homes OF
their neiEhbors. In pledBfng themselves
to respect neighbors' rights they in no
ssase undefwrite their property or agree
10 peevtnt any reasonable changes that
mays seem desirable. The covenant OF
the League Of Nations simply 'uosti-
tutes for armed force. or for the absence
Of any law. the mutual agreements OF
civilizAd nations to respect the rights
r-syf3eccs and the territorial boundaries
Of each other. Not to do this in cove
&ant of peace would be a rank absurdity.
8 A treaty of peace whether between one
or q dozen nations. that would not either
directly or indirectly imply such an
asreenent would be no treaty AZ all. 1t
would be a CHASTITY joke.
In the very nature Of things, terri
,.1or,aI boundaries are not changed cas-
fly. whe nchanges are made they are
the result Of social conditions that are
developed slowly and painfully. For in
stance. there is no greater enormity
than the subsection Of Aremnia and
SYRIA to the domination Of the Turk. Yet
that domination has lasted for seven
hundred years, and 1t is only being elm
anaAsa today, When il becomes neccs-
sary TO change the territorial lines OF
my portion Of Europe, Asia Africa or
Anse,tea we can we'll trust the good
sense Of the civilized powers Of the
world to bring about that change. We
hnus4 got assume that the League OF
NatsonA In It's present form. is to exist
forever without amendment We must
sSce assume that its present trainers have
an ia wisdom of all time and are pre-
somR4aR an agreement which will be
-nhaekle upon humanity for ages to come
, .Sreccedtng generations will know how
% meet the problems which come before
Ghem. II IL enough for us today to meet
and solve our present problems. and the
present problem Of world peace Is, un-
Soubtedly. better solved through the
,msrnrucn Agreement OF the great peace
1oviag powers OF The earth than it can
NeA9n any other way.

KINNEY WILL TESTIFY IN
 AUTOMOBILE THEFT CASE

John W. Kinney of SS West Town
 street will be called upon this month
 to- go to Cambridge. Mass, to appear in the superior court against the man accused of stealing MT. Kinney's au-
 tomobile at Rocky Point last August.
 Capture of the alleged thief, a young
 Italian of WatertoWn. Mass, was the
 result of a little shrewd guesswork on
 the part of a police officer there This
 officer noticed the youth driving
 around his home town in a car and
 knew from his circumstances that
 there was small probability that he
 had been able to buy one. The officer
 decided to bring the young man in at the first chance, but every time the auto went past a policeman, the fellow
 in the ear was driving much too fast to be stopped without giving him the alarm and possibly soaring him out of town. But at length the officer cap
 tured his man. when the car had to
 stopsin front of some gates at a rail- road+crossing. 'F7 -:~ 'e~f .f
 A good gri!Iing at police headquar- l ters failed to proNce. any admissions fromls the alleged thief. Nothing was
 found in the car to give any clue to the owneE until as a last chance, the policeman decided to slit open the lin ing of the doors. as he knew that sometimes papers slipped. in there
 from. the pockets on the doors. Search
 of one doocgproduced no results but
 upon&slitting open the other, the po-
 licemAn found some papers that gave
 MT. Kinney's name and his address in Norwich. It has beensfound that the accused young man was in Providence and registered at Providence hotel at aboutsthe time the Kinney car was stolen from the place where it was parked at Rocky Point.
 The Watertown police had been sus-
 pecting the young man of being mixed up in shady deals for. some time but had never been able to fasten anything
 on him so that they were all the more pleased to catch him on the charge of stealing the Kinney automobile.
 When the young man was bound over to the superior court, the judge allowed Mir. Kinney to have his car back and he has been using it ever ]
