Director in Each state.

In each state there will be a federal
director and under him a small num-
Der Of inspectors. Both the federal
agents, that is to say, the men who
will make up the governments secret
force, and the federal directors will
be directly answerable to the federal
prohibition commissioner. The nearest
approach to the organization that has
been formed Is the secret service which
looks out for counterfeiters. The pro-
hibition secret service, however. will
be much larger than the organization
that deals with counterfeiting and
cOunterfeiters.
1t will be the duty Of the inspectors
Of the various states to keep them

existing IN the state. They win be ex-
pected TO know at all times whether

There has been national organ
ization perfected to arrange for
Roosevelt memorial. The great A
merican public cannot do anything
lof itself without having a national
organization direct the movement and
handle it as it sees fit. Because
there are a great many admirers of
Theodore Roosevelt in the country
there is to be national memorial
instead of local ones. The national
organization which appears to be
political from the appointment of
Grant P. Hall, of Charleston, as chair
man for West Virginia, has an idea
of taking over ahd preserving Saga
more Hill and creating a park or
playground at Oyster Bay. Now the
idea of taking over the home of
Theodore Roosevelt is following a
familiar precedent but establishing
playground for Oyster Bal is using
national contributions to supply a
purely local need. Establishment of
playground is entirely different
from preservation of Sycamore Hill
and unless that selfish effort is taken
from the national movement it will
not be received with as much enthu-
siasm as admirers of Roosevelt would
like to evidence.

There was fire in Clarksburg not
long since that made a splendid To-
cation available for building. The
debris is now being cleared away and
it is prabable that buildings will go
up on the two lots which will be a
credit to that city. Fires and deaths
are sad things but they are not with
out their good. A fire may cause
loss to an individual but it often
makes space available for finer
buildings which improve the city.
Deaths are oftentimes sad affairs but
sometimes the removal of one man
makes place for another who is
more progressive. There is com
mon expression heard in delayed"
towns that ga few deaths are need
ed and sometimes people similar
jest that "a good fire is needed"
