A BILL to increase the salary Of the
Governor Of the State from $1,000 to
$4,000 a year and Of the Supreme
Court judges from $4,000 to $4,000 has
been passed by the Senate and will
likely pass the House. The Governors
salary certainly should be increased
We are not so sure about that OF the

WORD comes from certain parts OF
West Virginia that the coal miners are
in destitute circumstances because of
lack of work. And yet Cor The past
couple Of years these miners have been
making from five to twenty collars a
day, with all the work that they could
possibly wish and urged upon them. But
unlike the lowly ant, they wasted their
money as fast as they earned i, nor
laid up a dollar for a rainy day. 1t
will be hard to arouse sympathy for
them under such circumstances.
1T is announced that West Virginia's
share OF federal aid for the construc-
ton OF Class A roads this year will be
S212,S05.60. We hope that this will
be sufficient to keep up Office expenses.
We have abandoned all hope that any
Of It will be spent in building roads.

1T is funny to see the dismay Of the
New York papers over the successful
completion of the work for national
prohibition. These metropolitan jour
mails, which are in many respects very
provincial, have so long ignored and
sneered at the prohibitionists that they
had no idea that the country was get
ting ready to go dry, and now that the
irrevocable fact has been forced upon
them they are furious. But their rag
ing will not help them, and they may
as we'll realize that New York City is
not the whole United States.

THERE are some interesting sug-
gestions as to the next presidential
nominees. One Of the latest is that
the Republicans nominate General
Pershing as their candidate and the
Democrats put up Food Administrator
Herbert C. Hoover. Both are good
men, but we doubt if they would suit
the politicians.
