The first machine for manufacture

OF James Bogardus, who was born at
Catskill. N. Y, 119 years ago. When
the British government advertised for
a postage stamp machine in 1889, b.
gardus was one of 1900 competitors
for the prize, which was awarded him
for his device. Before that he had in

MEMORIAL day this year brings to thousands of

to be radical departures from the conventional Observance

In thousands of homes throughout the country where the
memory Of sacrifice the altar of Liberty is cherished
the grave lies beyond broad ocean, This year, and for
years to come, grateful people in the land which was
drenehed with American hero blood will carry out the
spirit and the outward forms of Memorial day. but we in

Editorial Comment

THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS AS AN
lSSIIE

From the Wheeling Intelligencer.
Senator Borah who has been one
of the most conspicuous opponents OF
the League of Nations, declares that
II the Republican party does not make
an issue against the covenant of the
league, then some other party will step
forward to take its place. On the 9TH
er hand, Senator Lodge (Republican),
chairman OF the foreign relations COM
mtttee, empbatically denies that the
League Of Nations is party question
in any sense and refused to discuss
the question before the National Re-
publican committee. No public ques-
ton can be made party question in
this country by the dictation OF one
man. The only method by which the
League Of Nations will become aspar-
ty issue will be by a direct declare
ton for or against it in party plat
forms. Mr.. Borah was one OF the ex.
IRENE radicals that the Republican
party make party issue OF woman
suffrage in 1916 and fought viciously
and abusively in the Committee on
resolutions for declaration commit
ting the Republican party to nation
wide woman suffrage. The Committee
on Resolutions wisely refused to fol-
low Borah's leadership at that time
and only two years later Borah him
self, to the establishment OF those who
knew his previous record voted
against the submission OF an amend
ment to the national constitution IA
voring woman suffrage.

West Virginia is setting fast pace for other
Industrial communities to follow in the fight
for the eradication Of venereal diseases.
Huntington, Charleston and Nitro particu-

BILE progress is being made. Following the in

$4,000 for the first year other industries have

The work in the city free clinics is not suf-

the industrial clinics, but rather seems to have
been greatly accelerated.
We like to think that in the matter Of genuine progress
