through the years, its high post today
was there ever such continuous
record of luck, of the granting Of great
men, of the uprising Of fine emotions,
Of the wisdom of great minds to con.
struct and the strength Of great hearts
to uphold! A thousand chances might
have destroyed. The least delay here,
the smallest blunder there, would have
subtracted America from the world
or, brought us to the year 1919 riven
or disgraced.
AS 1t Is, we know and see that we
have been blessed beyond all hope and
belief. For a moment we may be
tempted to be overproud and confident.
But not for long. We cannot but bow
our heads and be very thankful and, II
we are wise of head and sound of
heart, dedicate ourselves with new
resolve to the mighty tasks which so
much good fortune lays upon u.s.

for him. His father only said:
/ "Of all contemplate things, the
meanest is to make son take up q
work which isn't HIS"
So Jimmie studied law, then he went
into an office and moved upward until
he had been an assistant district attor-
ney in New York. His brilliant work
had won him big reputation.
Life was so full Of pleasures and
of joys and of everything going on
smoothly, happily. And the last and
the greatest of all the happiness he
had known had been when he had
loved and found that he had won the
heart of Beth Gray.
There had been only one incident
which, as Jimmie now looked back
upon his life. had at all made him
unhappy, and he thought of 1t but sell
dom now.
One of the boys he had liked best
at first at college, and who had had
many winning qualities, had turned
out to be the worst sort Of scoun-
drel. He had cribbed in examinations,
cheated in games, and used money
which had not belonged to him. They
had rule at college by which the
student body could expel, and they
had expelled Arthur Cogswell.
Jimmie's establishment in his
friend had been his only tragedy.
Never had he forgotten the look on
Arthur's face and the fiery red Of the
long narrow scar over his right eye
when he said. as he gritted his teeth :
81 know you're wesponsible'for this. y
(Arthur often made WIS Of his r's.)
"And I'll get you for 1t some day, If 1t
takes me all my life"
Now it had completely gone out of
his mind. He thought only of Beth
and Of being success for her sake.

AN OPPORTUNITY.

T developed yesterday al Washington, where Repubi,
cans from all over the country are gathered to get first
hand information regarding The proceedings Of the Repub'
lican National committee, that canvass of the country
made recently determine what the people believe should
be instituted along the line Of national reforms shows that
economy, better administration. lower taxes and solution
of the labor problem figure very prominently.
In other words the county is tired of the extravaganza
inefficient and unenghtened way in which the government
has been conducted by the Democrats and it wants
change That the most natural feeling the world and
is going to become stronger the pressure of the huge
national debt and the continuance of huge national ex,
pendurcs becomes more apparent the business life of
the nation.
That is to say, whether the leaders want it to tum
cut that way or not we entering upon an era OF bus-
ness politics this country and if the Republican party
rises to its opportunities it will return to power not only
at Washington but in all the industrial staes and enjoy
long season Of party prosperity. But in order to accom-
ph this there must be an end to the delays and ntcmn-
able debates about little things in congress.
The best possible way in which to mderwrite the sue
cess of the national campaign next year is for the Repub
can majority in congress to show during the present session
by actual legislation that the party policy tending in the
direction the country wants 10 go.

Editorial Comment
on Current Subjects
THE REST ROOM FOR COUNTY
WOMEN,

From the Clarksburg Telegram.
Establishment OF a rest room for
farm women of Harrison county by
the Woman's Civic Club, The Harri-
son County Farm Bureau and the
Harrison county chapter Of the Amer
lean Red Cross Society has melted
both praise and envy from the Tele-
grams contemporary, The Fairmont
West Virginlan. The project is of
more than passing interest to Marion
folk, that newspaper says, largely be-
cause in spite of repeated efforts to
proved them with such a convenience
they are still without 1t. The West
Virginian adds that there are some
other points about this Harrison
county enterprises that make it inter-
esting in Marion county:
Harrison county is far from
fortunate in court house facili-
ties. The building is not large
enough 10 take care OF the ordi-
nary county offices, and this has
made it expedient for such add
ed activities as the home demon
stration part of the farm bureau
to find quarters elsewhere.
When the rest room, which will
be in Robinson hall on Second
street, is fitted up it will contain
facilities not only for the home
demonstration agent, but
school nurse, a community nurse
and a county school nurse"
The occasion for that remark is the
fact that Marion county has a large
court house with quarters that could
be utilized for women's rest room,
but, according to The West Virginian,
they are not available because the fell
lows in the court house over there
are unaccountably prejudced against
it.
The court house comparison is a
reminder that one of Harrison coun-
tvs great needs a new court house
adequate for the transaction of the
county's busness-yet goes untitled.
That need constitutes plank in the
Telegram's platform for Clarksburg
and Harrison county. OF course there
is no occasion, because Of unsettled
conditions and sky-high prices, to
worry obout erecting a new court
house now, for that is practically out
Of the question; but the need must
not be lost sight of, and the remarks
of The Falrmont West Virginian
serve that end:
The Fairmont newspaper believes
a rest room for women Of the county
will be fine thing, and in this the
Telegram concurs, at the same time
commencing those who are back of
the project. The West Virginian says
that inasmuCh as this rest room will
be much freQuented by women from
the county, the plan will concentrate
at one spot lot of things that are
of intertst to them and in time will
likely become a clearing house for all
the women's organizations and activ-
tiles in the county. The enterprise
will undoubtedly prove success and
it is one that deserves encourage
ment from all.
